After reading a bit about upgrading my Verizon Vogue, I decided I would really like to try NFS Fan's 6.5 rom. I began by unlocking my phone, per this article (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370) and everything seemed to go smoothly on the unlocking process. Now before I tried updating the new rom the phone booted back into the regular WM 6.0 just fine, until the screen went in to sleep mode, and it would never recover, requiring a soft reset to restart the phone every time.
Odd, but I was going to put NFSFan's 6.5 on there anyways, so I figured what the hell and kept going. The update of the ROM seemed to go just fine, once completed I hard reset the phone, and the phone would not pass the inital radio identification/verizon splash screen, requiring a hard reset to re-start the phone up to that point. I went ahead and tried a 6.1 ROM on the phone, and this time it get's to the WM Checking OS screen and locks up there (for hours on end, I forgot to turn it off) and required a hard reset to reset the phone back to this splash screen. So I start to get a little worried, and figured I'd try NFSFan's 6.5 again. Rom update went smoothly, phone reboots to the same point and after a hard reset again still only makes it to the checking OS flash screen. I tried 6.5 again a few times just to be sure, but it now appears I can't downgrade/update/side grade or make any kind of change to the phone.
The ONLY thing that bugs me is when I unlocked the phone (2.31 coke) is that the radio version seemed different then what everyone else had. The radio version is 1.60.30, which from all I could read meant the phone was not GPS capable, and that the unlocker I used was for GPS capable phones, like I should have used .40 coke instead. Could this have caused my problem? Below are a few pictures of the screens I can get to. Anyone know of a stock 6.0 rom for verizon I might be able to try to get back to?
