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

Interesting problem for me. I have been flashing the new Verizon ROM several times since its release, and the GPS has worked quick and flawless without any additional hacks. I had to hard reset after trying to get a custom task bar going from the tsowen thread, and the GPS no longer works. I flashed again this morning, *228 programmed, updated Quick GPS, installed GPS Tool and nada.... Very strange problem...

EDIT: I tried flashing to a different radio, no dice. Reflashed to Mighty ROM and 5 second lock... So now I will try the VZW flash again and see what happens...

EDIT2: So I got home and flashed back to the exact same VZW ROM I did this morning and I get a three second lock on Google Maps..!?? Obviously, some bit got flipped somewhere that took two overwrites to get back. Wonder if all this flashing is wearing out the static ram cells..
