Has anyone loaded the VERIZON 1.12.605.9 ROM

**jcastag** · 03-26-2011, 08:16 AM

I wanted to get some feedback from anyone that loaded the stock Verizon1.12.605.9 onto their phone. From what I understand you dont need to be rooted to do this correct? Just rename to update.zip, and load it up.

Anyone that has done this, I would appreciate feedback? Any improvements? Any broken parts? Any negatives?

THANKS!

You do have to be rooted with CWR to load this. When rooted, you would be left with the same thing. This meant to be a safety net if you need to go back to stock for warranty reasons.

oh ok, I thought since it was a signed ROM that you just needed to name it to "update.zip" and it would install.

I installed this ROM today, and you DO NOT need to be rooted....just rename the file to PG05IMG, place on SD, reboot into bootloader and it loads itself.

Not really sure what the advantages are right now, but I will check on in the next few days.

I wanted to root and load a custom ROM, but I could not get the one click root to work, tried 3 times. Hopefully unrevoked comes out soon.

Battery has improved, but there are now broken features such as Voice search, DRM License issues always appear for all formats of .avi files (including non-protected video) Freezing issues with some apps and MTP protocol sometimes requires a phone reboot to be seen on the PC again and wifi cutting in and out, other than that, everything seems fine

My bust. Because it is not an "official" release, I did not think it would work.

This is the build on the Perfect Storm ROM. I have no problems.

^^^Correct. But it has been debloated and massaged to work out some of the hiccups in the stock version. And the OP is not rooted. He cannot load perfect storm.
