Re: Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

- OMJ's 3.02 OEM for Verizon and Sprint.
- pri on Verizon 1.37_002, pri on Sprint 1.33_002

This is before ppst.exe (on the Sprint only), I was getting 5-7 gps locks outdoors almost always on both touchs using Garmin. Occationally I would have to prime them with gpsviewer. I then ran ppst.exe on the Sprint (changing my pri to 2.03..). My Sprint started getting 10-15 gps locks very quickly, no priming. Nothing special here because we now know that ppst.exe fixes Sprint.

Here's where it get interesting. As a test, I ran your ##786 (pulls up Reverse Logistics Support) and hit menu-reset. As I thought, it reset the Sprint's pri to 1.33_002. I had to go back through programming my number in Sprint (FYI - you can't do *228, you have to enter your number in epst programming). After getting my number working I tried Garmin again. I expected it to go back to 5-7 gps locks.... but I still got 10-15 gps locks! It acted just like it had 2.03 on it! I will test this some more and report back, but this reverse logistics support reset might be the answer to loading ppst on non-Sprint touchs. I really think it writes something in the area where the radio rom resides that doesn't get erased when you go back to 1.33 using the logistics menu reset.

I'm itching to try this on my Verizon phone but I can't pull up the reverse logistics screen. I tried all combinations of ##786#, ##786 send, etc. but nothing pulls it up. I think the codes must be different to get to it on a Verizon phone. Any help would be appreciated. Hope this helps!

EDIT: I ran "ppst.exe ##786" manually on the Verizon touch and nothing came up. I think that the reverse logistics support page doesn't exist on Verizon. Hmm...
Flash the leaked sprint rom, do as noted above, then flash your desired rom on ur verizon. ##786 comes from the sprint epst.epst. ## 786 might not be in the verizon epst
