For those not in the know...the MR2 Update is nothing more than a stock VZW ROM that runs PPST2.01 as a customization! If you use MR2 to ungimp the GPS you will have to re-flash your custom rom and in most cases the PPST patch will be wiped out once you do! ( It is not like a radio flash, the PPST patch does NOT survive a hard reset!!!!!!)
What you need to do to ungimp using a custom rom is to:
1 - Flash the rom you want
2 - Run PPST201.cab and install to device
3 - Open File Manager and go to /windows, run ppst
4 - PPST will confirm you want to update, make a backup and then reset the device
your GPS will work after that until you do a hard reset where you will have to re do the operations above!
Ukyfan - It will NOT hard reset your phone it will soft reset when you have executed ppst.
All of your data will remain in the phone.
If you should ever hard reset you will have to redo the PPST procedures above. A hard reset wipes PPST patch from the phone.
IF you run the MR2 as suggested you will lose all your data and wind up with a stock VZW ROM. If you then try to flash a custom rom you will be right back where you started with a gimped GPS!
