Here is where I am guessing you are going wrong, but I am no expert. Only a guy who has flashed two different phones 1001 times!

Since you are using the "leaked" Verizon wm6.1 update you must allow it run all the way through and customize to be a Verizon phone again! This is not true with up unlocking and upgrades that first use the Sprint (I believe) updates but of course you would be screwed with custom Sprint "stuff" after the customization.

So for once this process is as easy as you would hope.

1. Run Verizon wm.61 upgrade
2. Run Vahalla cab
3. Reboot

You must make sure ALL LOCATION ON (i believe) is set under PHONE LOCATION SETTINGS. (see screenshot) for it to work too. (correct me if i'm wrong).

I used Google Maps first and selected the setting that allow for GPS to be used and had a lock in 20 seconds!


I thought once you let the customizations run on the leaked ROM it locked the GPS for future use, and you were stuck without it. I want to be able in the future to flash a different (non Verizon) ROM and use GPS.
