I think it's more complex then just enabling ports or stuff like has worked on other devices.

Seems verizon now is encrypting and playing challenge response games with access to the gpsone hardware in newer rom's. Check out the thread at xda developers about hte xv6800 MR1 gps hack. Skywing pretty much figured out the all the security measures VZ is employing and made custom DLL’s to go around them.

I read his explanation of the verizon locks and I basically followed what is going on but have no coding or debug skills to figure out how to make the appropriate drivers for the i770. (and the files he created for the xv6800 do NOT work on the i770).

There’s a lot more discussion at

seems like Fishy8082 also read the document that skywing wrote but that he possesses actual coding skills- we can hope he’s the man to make the fix we need.
