Simple instructions how to install this ROM with GPS

Actually Colonel had a Sprint / custom Rom with GPS up and seems to have a lot of people happy with it. I thought it was quite awesome but it was making my phone reset again and again. I noticed the ROM was gone from his ftp now. I hope he is making another Sprint version as I really liked what head done with it. I have reset back to the ROM from Kmart
and it seems stable. For those looking for a simple set of basic instructions, here goes: not detailed mind you..

First , relock(Titan relocker) the phone from your PC if you are not going from an original Sprint rom,
make sure you follow COMPLETELY the instructions of the relocker.
Second, flash to an early version of the Sprint Rom (earlier than 3.16) (exe. file is easier for newer folks than trying an NBH).This includes the update utility.
{use the exit bootloader if you get stuck in the tri color loader }
After making sure you are using a early version Sprint Rom , Run the RUU Sprint Titan exe. file
This will put you into bootloader mode. Let it auto load the ROM after following the simple on screen
(If you get stuck at 11 % , make sure you ran the RELOCKER all the way through to its end)
Make sure you follow the on screen instructions exactly as they read .
If you get stuck and it goes into recovery mode, follow the steps exactly and then rerun update utility. I had it stop at various points when flashing at different times, but the 11%
stops seem to have been related to the relocker not running all the way through .
It should not take more than 1-2 flashes (after error) to complete the flash.
If you see the start up screen read as a Beta Test Not for Sale, then it loaded.
Next, let it run through its restart and customizations . It will reset itself and then finish.

This may be simplistic because I did not link files but a search in Titan forum will yield all needed files. Earlier Version Sprint ROm, Titan Relocker, (exit Bootlader if needed), and the exe. file of the new ROM and update utility. I also recommend using the Astrogpslauncher
or similar tool if using maps other than Sprint Nav or google maps or live. This program will
activate the gps feature for the other apps like TomTom and Inav.

NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR WIFI SWITCH ON THE SIDE OF UNIT IN OFF POSITION
DURING THE FLASH


I hope this helps someone
