Re: 6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

I have never posted to these forums, but I owe the folks out here a lot. I wanted to let people know that, even though I strictly followed all of the instructions from Bored, MightyMike, Lordshadowz, and others, I was never actually able to get my Verizon Touch Pro to get a first GPS lock. I never downloaded Bored's original fix because everyone said it was unnecessary if you had Mighty ROM (4R3BORN) on your device -- which I do and it works great. I don't know if those people are right or not, but I will say that nothing I did, including changing registry entries, downloading QuickGPS Fix and HTC GPS Tool, monkeying with Advanced Config and other utilities, did a thing to get this thing to actually start seeing and locking on satellites. Then I downloaded the simple cab file that Bored posted on 6/6/9, ran it, and went outside. I got seven satellites in a few seconds and GoogleMaps integrated perfectly. Yeah baby.

I wanted to post this because I haven't seen an answer to the most important question I had, which was "can I install this new fix over Mighty ROM 4R3BORN or is that going to screw everything up?" The answer is nothing appears to be screwed up - the .cab just installs and makes the GPS work.
