someone asked the author in the sv6800 thread at xda dev if he would spot the source so it could get updated for the saga and he said no.

So looks like for now we're on our own....
I'm not sure, but if you were actually able to run the MR1 from the 6800, you may be screwed on the GPS for now. On the 6800's, when you run the MR1 or MR2, you have to relock your device, flash your ROM and Radio back to the ROM: 2.09 and Radio: 1.30, then unlock your device, flash the 3.42.50 GPS enabled radio (which will lock the phone up at the second bootloader screen), then flash a custom ROM, get a new A-Key (which Verizon is now saying will be an Auto-Aquire because of the merger with Alltel). Once all that BS is done, then there are RegEdits to do for the GPS to work at all, and oneGPS has to be ran for the aGPS.

Long and short, I don't am not familiar with the Saga yet, my buddies wife just got one the other day, and we will be digging into it soon. But what I can tell you is that the Radio that is flashed with the MR! and MR2 for the XV6800 not only locks the GPS down tighter than ever before, and keeps it locked down until you flash a non-GPS enabled Radio to undo the lock. Also, the MR! and MR2 Radios embed a "Tattle Tail" to report back to Verizon to notify them of what you have installed on your phone. So, STAY AWAY FROM THE MR1 AND MR2!!!

If I figure anything out on the Saga once we get into it, I will post any findings on this end of the site. Good Luck!
