Bob, your an engineer? Is it possible for a GPS section of a chip to fry but the rest of the chip be good and perform all other phone functions? Hell not even GPS, any part of any chip? What are your thoughts. Im just an electronic tech trained by the military so you know I dont know much ;c) But seriously,. what do you think? Is that possible?



See above

Yes, the stock ROM in that thread is athe genuine stock ROM. Its also what I based the kitchen on, but not the sys files, as you know...

I'm an engineer also... Not a terribly intellegent one though. I've seen mention of GPS issues on this site. I'm a pessimist, so I assume the worse.

I redid the bored fix, it sees some sats. So, I think it's good. I haven't had much time outside today (stuck in a building) I guess the hard reset I did
wiped it out. I'll be checking it out when I get out of work at 11pm tonight..
