Guest jbach44 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Im tethered now on the new rom. I got agps immediately after turning on google maps. congratulations!, I wish I had been as lucky
Guest zanshin825 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Hi, guys. I successfully (I guess) upgraded last night...but I'm not having any luck with the GPS. I went into the Phone Settings and turned on the GPS...but when I try the Bing "Locate Me" option, it doesn't work. Actually, it "worked" once and put me in the middle of some distant ocean. But now it's saying it can't find me at all. Any suggestions?
Guest Majorair32 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Has anyone tried to reflash back to cooked 6.5 roms after and see if agps is still working. I cant imagine going back to wm6.1 after having all these kick as 6.5 roms.

I cant imagine going back to wm6.1 after having all these kick as 6.5 roms. Do not reflash back to one of the cooked ROMS. They are cooking CF03 ROMS now. You will lose the AGPS functionality if you flash back over CF03.
Guest Lisbian08 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) congratulations!, I wish I had been as lucky Try Google Maps first. Windows Live (Bing) Maps has always been a little flaky. It works great when it works. Get a lock on Google Maps and then try Bing. I hit reply on the wrong link. ;) This is for zanshin825 Edited July 17, 2009 by Lisbian08

I only use iGO8 now for navi and I read somewhere that the agps doesnt help that app unless some else can test and let me know. Cheers

You will lose the AGPS functionality if you flash back over CF03. so the process of flashing to new cooked rom would be the similar - NOT UMDL but PDA part only did i get that right? could hardly wait for Ad and BW goodies.... thanks.

Has me a few miles away from where I actually am. Hopefully that'll improve.

I think Adryn exists outside normal space-time, and is not subject to it's laws/constraints.
Guest TheJanitor Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Does his rom bypass the screen calibration after a flash? My screen is messed up and I can't get past it.
Guest thaibruin Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Just installed Adrenalyn's rom over CF03. The only difference I'm noticing is aGPS is working GREAT. and REALLY.... that's all I cared about. ;)
Guest ph0 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Hell yes! ;) Just finished updating my first one , now for the 2nd. Never had any luck with the cooked roms so I finally have give up. Took you long enough verizon!
Guest jbach44 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Well I spoke to VZW this morning, told me to take the Omnia to the local Corp store (so they can verify the Omnia is bricked, since it wasn't the active phone on my line), the tech verified it, I called warranty services back, and they said the device is being sent, should have it Monday
Guest mcperson Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Does his rom bypass the screen calibration after a flash? My screen is messed up and I can't get past it. yes it does, it will work better than perfect. did anybody ever notice throttle launcher won't work on any of his roms...don't really care, just kinda remembered that right now.
Guest zanshin825 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Hi...need some help, if possible. I just tried to flash for the first time to Adrenylns 6.5, but got an error message in the UMDL. Then it just hung. Now when I try to turn on the Omnia, it's stuck at the Omnia flash screen...sadly. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Then it just hung. Now when I try to turn on the Omnia, it's stuck at the Omnia flash screen...sadly. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Seems like it's not totally bricked. Your caught in limbo... I suggest flashing to the official omnia update if it will work. Then try again.
Guest zanshin825 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Yeah, that was the first thing I tried...but it won't boot to the point that the update will take. Sucks. Guess it'll be a trip to Verizon tomorrow, unless anyone else can think of some magic to work.
Guest metalzoic Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Hmmm... Updating to CF03 and about ten seconds after pressing the "upgrade" button I got a windows error alert saying it had to close down active sync. The update seemed to be continuing after that, but now the progress bar has been stuck at 60% for 37 minutes. It's been mentioned in this thread that there's an emergency update mode. Should I just let it sit and see if emergency mode kicks in? I've checked active sync and it just says connection disabled. Argh! now I'm at 40 minutes and counting. Any advice guys?
