Thanks for the insight guys. It seems the only cons being mentioned around the net is size, which I hope I get used to. I'm going into the store to play with each for the heck of it, but I'll probably end up walking out with the Note 2. I'm glad to hear about the battery life as well, I had to buy an extended battery and case for my Gnex so hopefully I won't have to do that again.

It seems that Voodoo sound is not available for either the S3 or the Note 2, does anyone know if Supercurio is working on that? The Wolfson sounds great on it's own, but there's some type of governor on the amount of power it lets out through the headphone jack. Without Voodoo on my Infuse, I couldn't get enough juice to make the volume high enough. With Voodoo, the highest volume level would've probably knocked me unconscious. That's with my Ultrasone headphones though, which I suppose are harder to drive than the basic earbuds.

Siyah kernel (and also Perseus for the Note 2) works with the STweaks app, which implements the Voodoo mod and provides amazing sound. Check my post here for screenshots: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36192330&postcount=10

I really enjoyed the Tablet S. Loved the 'magazine' styling, it actually looks right at home on the coffee table running Zinio with a glossy magazine on it (my girlfriend commandeered it and that's what it got used for).

However, I've also had hands-on with a demonstrator Tablet P, and believe-it-or-not that weird form factor is a winner. I'm working with a friend currently on making his cafe menu system fully automated for ordering, and once the price drops he's sold on using them as menus!

Thanks for the guide! Microsoft sure has done a lot to go out of their way to put these things on lock-down! Older winmo devices so much easier!
[Trophy General] DavidinCT:
Thanks for this post, This is really helpfull. Helps me understand the process here.

WTF is with the 2.1 ...MNG thing (of course my phone has it)? Did everyone get this or is this just some phones ?

Riddle me this. Once we have a rom available that will give a Full Unlock (like the freedom rom) and Internet Sharing that was built into Mango working, I'll be all over this.

Before doing anything, I'll make a Zune type backup (one of the 3rd party backups that use Zune's files to do the backup), will the process be to install Mango rom (there is a good mango rom avail for the VZW Trophy) then restore. Or can I just restore from backup ?

Again, nice guide and thanks !

No, You just got into it after the devs had a few years with it to find the flaws in it. WP7 is still new. Trust me, we would be in the same boat if WP6.1 just came out.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I ended up with the 2.01 SPL on my phone by installing "RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.04_2K_new_partition_RELEASE.exe." This rom was a leaked Mango rom, but more importantly, it helped users out that accidentally installed "RUU_Spark_W_VERIZON_WWE_1.03.605.20_2K_new_partition_RELEASE.exe." That 1.03.605.20 rom was used as a demo, and would turn your phone into one of those demo phones you'd see in the store! For about 4 months my SparkW was an unusable store demo :P 2.01.605.04 made the phone usable again, so there are probably a fair number of people who have it installed. There are now multiple working 1.03.x roms out, and I have yet to figure out if any of them are the original Verizon shipping software (and could be used to restore via a backup).

It's also possible that the 2.01 SPL was installed when Zune updated to Mango 7720. I have yet to perform the update process this way, so I can't confirm it. I think it is likely that if you have Mango installed, you will have the 2.01 SPL and have to wipe the phone. I am tinkering around to see if I can make a flashable 1.03 only SPL update, so we won't lose everything when flashing. AriveC users have it so easy...

I can tell you that I am currently testing DFT's SparkW rom (you can private message mwang and let him know you are interested in testing). It does have Internet Sharing (I am using it right now to post this) and the damn rom is made of epic and win. No NAT support and I can't log-into IRC, but I'll take it over my busted HTC Eris any day right now. The rom is not perfect (my testing shows that ##PST# crashes and doesn't work!), so hopefully they can iron that out before final release (because its pretty much flawless from my testing other then that little hitch).

As for restoring from backup... I honestly have no idea. I have never had any luck with any backup programs, so I couldn't describe a process I would know for a fact would work. :/ I am working on cooking a Verizon rom that can be flashed with HSPL, but it won't have any fancy features (basically, just taking the stock rom and making it flashable via HSPL). Only real difference in the basic Verizon rom I am working on is that I will strip all Spanish support out (that saved almost 30mbs in space vs the original rom).

For now, I am sticking with my recommendation of not bothering with HSPL. Hopefully tomorrow I can cook a proper SPL only image that can be flashed and then we can all keep our data until the awesome Freedom rom hits.
[Trophy General] nickmo20:
yeah since everyone seems so close to releasing something, I'll hang on to this phone. I had it for 14 day-trial thing from verizon but since everyone is on the verge of getting internet sharing, and stable ROM releases and such, I'll wait...

once I've 'drank the koolaide' and run some custom ROMs i'll be looking for the programs to start doing my own ROMs.
[Trophy General] DavidinCT:
As your testing that rom, How's battery life on it ? I remember in the 6.5 days, where one rom where power management was not addressed, you could take a 24 our battery and turn it into a 3 hour battery....

I do like the sound of Epic....Is it a Full unlock (like freedom) that is up to date with 8107 ? Can you take the updates via the cab method on it or do you have to wait for a new rom for new features if released ?

The backup process has worked for me pretty good, the key is to have the same exact Zune version as the Support tools and it wil work flawlessly. I have a few backups from the past to make sure if something screws up I can get back to a point with save games, etc.

I look forward to a full unlock rom that kills the limits of my current phone with a factory rom.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I can't really vouch for the battery life since I live in a fringe region, but honestly, it seems about the same. It is up-to-date with 8107. I am assuming it has full unlock due to the tools that come with it. I haven't had a change to deploy anything that would really require full unlock (I'm too busy testing other stuff and looking for a easier SPL method right now to really test app deployment). Like I said, message the guys if you are interested in testing. Everything is working pretty good.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I overhalled bits and pieces with revised and updated information. For anyone that hasn't done this (or even those who have), you might want to re-read the revised parts (especially the parts on returning to stock!).
[Trophy General] grunge100:
Thanks for the guidance. Very well written, and informative. Does anyone know when a sparkW rom will be available.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I am working on my own rom, but CDMA might be causing some issues with OSBuilder (was writing a post about it in OSBuilder thread when I saw your post in this thread).

DFT has a pre-release rom in the works for SparkW, but you need to private message mwang and let him know you are interested in testing it.

ETA's are more then likely "they will be done when they are done." :) CDMA is new to the WP7 cooking universe, so it will take some time to iron out the kinks.
[Trophy General] grunge100:
Great, I look forward to trying it out.
[Trophy General] ken52787:

Yeah, sorry I haven't been able to upload the file yet. Last few days have been hell at home so I will try my best to get it uploaded to mediafire today.

You're still running NoDo on your Trophy? Zune update should at least bring you to 7720 (first rev Mango). I recommend testing DFT Freedom though, simply to get full updated plus perks. DFT Freedom is at 8107 currently.

Anyone who wants to test DFT Freedom for Verizon should private message mwang and ask him if you can test.

I am tempted to torrent that Verizon stock rom if mediafire doesn't work out.

[Trophy General] TheXev:
Is your phone in bootloader mode? After shutting off your phone, press power + down vol. Hold down vol until the tri-color boot screen comes up.

Once that tri-color boot screen comes up, plug in your cable and wait for the white section to turn from Serial to USB.

If it says USB and you are still getting that screen, make sure you have Zune software installed (so you have the USB sync drivers installed).
[Trophy General] sinister1:
Okay, I'll give it another try today, I think it's because I wasn't waiting for serial to turn to USB. Id10t error lol.
