Thumbs down Help, Alltel GPS on WM6.1

This is my first thread, mainly out of frustration. I normally hate asking for help in a thread since i like to do the research myself, but i am stumped....

Update the rom via this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433957

Then installed windows live search and google maps, neither worked (yes all my settings are at com4, 4800 baud, windows manage, etc...)

Then tried this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...l+gps+easy+way

Still didn't work with windows live search or google maps. Wouldn't even work with the "Alltel Nav" application that came with 6.1

Then attempted to use the Holux GPS Viewer v1.5, that automatically selects comm 4 as a way to "cold start" the gps chip. Didn't work.

I'm completely out of idea, and ridiculously flustered right now. My room mate has an Sprint Touch, to which they came out with an official ROM (also which i told him about, he had NO idea about ROM updates), and he constantly uses his built in GPS and live search yada yada... and it drives me insane since i was the one that got it workin for him in the first place.

Is there anything that i'm overlooking or any other methods that I haven't tried with this thing? I thought that when i took the plunge and used the "official" unofficial ROM update that my GPS would just magically work.... obviously it didn't....


Please help...

Oh and I'm glad i finally joined the forum
