Guest dmk679 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I found a guy that has the i910 rom image files for verizon, telus and bell. See attached image. He wants $$$ for them. Do you think this would help our cause? From what I can tell he is legit - he sent me the i910 dll for samsung pst/pst lite and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the "offical update" will release the GPS befre we can crack it. Becase there were not enough tools for the wizards to play with. If/when this update gets released.......things for the Omnia should really pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Omnia shows that it has version BJ28. Also, the version is in the same range as the Bell and Telus (Canadian) images, and those do have the newest widgets and (presumably) working GPS.

And has he said whether the GPS was actually working on that, you would feel really bad to pay for those and not have any GPS on their version either B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has he said whether the GPS was actually working on that, you would feel really bad to pay for those and not have any GPS on their version either B) He said the price for everything was $400 negotiable. Yea - I told him that since I didnt know if it would unlock the gps I would pass. Maybe someone else has some $$ they want to shell out?? He would probably go a lot lower if you only wanted one or two files. He said the gps worked on the telus image.

Guest krelvinaz Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Kind of a relative kind of thing. He is only going to have a short window to make anything on it. Once it gets released, it will be $0 since the update will be Free. He also runs the risk of being "caught" if he is an employee of Samsung or one of the other Cell Phone companies. With the release looking like it is coming fairly soon, I think the risk of using it and then having a problem is not worth it. Once it is released and you try it, and it fails you will have support. For someone who wants to build custom firmware, it looks like it contains more than just the Verizon build and that may have worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest natedawg1013 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I can now get to my rom of the vzw i910! He said that he'd reduce the price for less files. Here is one you can cross off the list. Do you want it as .nb , .bin , or .img ? Also, I'll have to zip it because I have a very low upload speed. Anything that will help! --Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response to the $400 HOLY TWISTED BATSH B)* * BATMAN!! That guy is flippin insane! If the GPS was that big of a deal, I would just pay the ETF, sell my phone on Ebay and go to someone else who doesnt cripple their phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Enraged Ninja Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Peeps just giving up then...? Because this is what happened last DEC around the time the phones came out... thats why this thread is started. Verizon crippled the phone, ton of peeps get pissed... try to unlock the GPS and openly talk about it then verizon says "end of 1st QTR" then the discussions stop (the log here kindve says that). Then a couple months down the road this thread starts hopping again. But all of a sudden peeps are bringing up "Verizon will unlock it"... they wont... They wont till they know they CANT make money off of it anymore, or atleast not that much. Im guessing the reason they spewed out that date is to get people to stop trying so they can keep bleeding dry their customers. If the GPS isnt unlocked by a community the only other thing that will push the envelope is another company threatening verizons territory. Example; AT&T / Sprint coming out with the same phone being fully functional. But the problem with that is those other companies will see how well verizon did raping their customers and then follow their lead. Now... this is all speculation too... i could be wrong... and maybe... just maybe... as soon as i hit send on this post, a update will be released right? We can wait and never have it happen... Or, give it a shot because we really have nothing to lose on a side note it just really blows that 90% of the people who want to help... just dont know how they can. So if someone is out there willing to help this community let us know what you need and what we can do Thx for everyone working so hard on this!

Guest joex51 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just a few Questions, Is this supposed to be the new Version of the VZ I910 ROM, or the one we have now? Does anyone know what the Version# of the firmware for the GPS chip is in the current VZ ROM? IS this even possible? If so maybe we can get that information, we could ask him what the Version# is for the GPS chip firmware in the ROM he has, if it is higher or atleast different it might be worth a few $$. $400 is absolutely ridiculous if i need GPS that bad I will buy a BT unit. IF the telus version has working GPS maybe one of the guru's can port that into the VZ ROM, I am not even sure if this is possible I thought i read in this thread that the GPS might be locked by the Radio (carrier specific) software. I just wanted to ask these questionsand throw out a few ideas. I have learned alot form the people here, and thanks again to everyone trying to make this work.

Guest buddybear Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 My solution: go to Wal Mart and buy a GPS for $100.00...that equals 10 months of VZ navigator...but it works when out of servce range...thats when I need GPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chugworth Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Is this supposed to be the new Version of the VZ I910 ROM, or the one we have now? Does anyone know what the Version# of the firmware for the GPS chip is in the current VZ ROM? IS this even possible? The version number is in the file name. In the $400 file list, it looks like there are three versions of the same VZW image, so I assume some (if not all) are beta. The versions I see are "CB06," "CB26B," and "CC20." You can see the version of your image by looking under Settings > System > Version > ROM Version. Mine is "BJ28." My solution: go to Wal Mart and buy a GPS for $100.00...that equals 10 months of VZ navigator...but it works when out of servce range...thats when I need GPS. But that's irrelevant. Sure, when I'm driving I use my Garmin for navigation. Not my phone. We just abhor the fact that one of our cell phone's features is being denied to us (whether we would actually use it or not).

Guest JDawg183 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ok, so I threw out a line on Howard Forums trying to get someone to upload their ROM and I got a nibble, but same thing. He wants money. He did not say how much, I just replied and asked him how much and told him that if it was a reasonable amount he could drop a line on here and I am sure we could scrounge it up. We will just have to see what he considers reasonable. If it is reasonable, would people be willing to chip in a few bucks ($5 or something)? Anyway, if we have a new poster on here soon it is probably him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BamDastard Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Again, it is in no way "reasonable" to pay for a ROM. Hell, I don't ever pay for data, much less a phone ROM that may be freely available soon. If people want to help the cause, they would offer it up for free. If they are asking for money, it's probably a rip-off. I mean, I'll rename some files and send them to you for $20. How could you verify them before you pay? You don't have a hash. Come on...

Actually, verizon is already being "forced" to unlock the gps on these phones.... take an example with blackberry. verizon unlocked the gps on some older blackberrys. OMNIA GPS UNLOCK IS GONNA HAPPEN SOON IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT LOL.... If the GPS isnt unlocked by a community the only other thing that will push the envelope is another company threatening verizons territory. Example; AT&T / Sprint coming out with the same phone being fully functional. But the problem with that is those other companies will see how well verizon did raping their customers and then follow their lead. This has nothing to do with anything anymore... verizon is like 5 years beihind on things.... kinda like the fave 5... when do you think verizon will start doing rollover minutes? lol.
