- Newest Alltel ROM: http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_Vo...SpecialNBH.exe
- ImCokeMan's 2.31 Unlocker: http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
- Unlocking Files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...02&postcount=3
- GPS Files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...87#post2143987

Now for the fun part....
1) Connect your phone to your computer and establish an ActiveSync connection.
2) Run the Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe on your computer and follow all of the prompts (including when to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect).
3) After you get into Windows, do the Power-Camera-Reset to get into ImCokeMan's Bootloader (the rainbow screen).
4) Run the Alltel ROM exe file (follow all prompts).
5) DO A SOFT RESET BEFORE THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN or you will not have an internet connection.
6) Install the 3 unlocking files
7) Soft reset
Install the GPS cab (to the device if asked)
9) Soft reset

Now to check settings:
- Go to Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > Location Settings > Make sure its set to ON.
- Start > Settings > System > GPS > GPS Program Port is 4, Hardware Port is None, Baud Rate is 4800, Access is set to automatically

Now there are a variety of programs out there to test GPS, so choose one, go outside and wait for up to 5-10 minutes for it to get its first lock. Sometimes it happens quick, sometimes it can take a while. Make sure your program is set to Com 4 for GPS.

Thanks....
Yes, I did follow all of those instructions. One thing I have found is that when I install the cab HTC_GPS_Enable_for_Titan_3.35.cab, GPS Viewer can no longer even find the comport. When I scan, COM1 through COM4 all say "(Open failed)". When I remove the program, it finds the GPS again. So that seems to be one problem.

I have had GPS working on my VX6900 before. But once it has gone into standby mode, I've never gotten it back. I reinstalled the ROM once (OMJ's), and it started working again, but again, before long, no dice.

Has anyone been able to get the GPS working again after standby? I read somewhere to get rid of the GPSToday plugin, but I don't know how to do it, and don't know if it would help. I also read to try COM2, which I have tried, but no more success. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks...
