This is to make it so the Internal GPS works on an Alltel ppc-6800, without using hacked roms. unlock tools or anything along those lines. its an official ROM that has a small patch.
Make sure you have updated your ROM with the HTC/Alltel ROM from the website and the patch.

copy the contents of the 'Enable_GPS_Alltel_ppc6800.zip' to your phone.
Install each of 4 files one at a time to the main memory (do not install on storage card).

some of the install files will only make the screen 'flick' this is good. move on to the next one.
after they are all done soft reset the phone.
