Re: How to get GPS Working on my Bell Htc touch.

You need to flash the official Bell rom to upgrade your radio amd PRI. Radio is 3.42.5, OS is 3.09.666.1 and PRI is 2.03_007
When you flash you'll also get the server settings for agps which will make your gps lock within seconds.
After you flash the new Bell rom, check if gps works ok then install the custom rom of choice and check gps again. If your custom rom doesn't work as well with gps then try another that says 3.09 in the descrption which means the author has kept the server settings in it.
Hope that helps.

they were found but pulling the data off a blackberry for the specific carrier.

use the alltel ip, i think it is a trusted pde server.

so any device on any carrier can use it.

let me know if it works.

just saw, sprint is trusted too perhaps.

Re: How to get GPS Working on my Bell Htc touch.

hi, when i am flashing the new bell rom, i get this 3 color screen and at the top it says imcokemen 2.32 ul and at the very bottom it says usb. It doesn't load the rom after that. Do i have to load the original bell rom (1. somthing radio) then flash the new rom? if so, where can i find the original bell rom. Thanks.

Re: How to get GPS Working on my Bell Htc touch.

I reccommend re-running the 2.31 unlocker.

How do you get the ip address and port number for the PDE server from a blackberry?
