Smile Re: GPS on XV6900 Without Data

Hi,

I have been following this thread and had been tweaking my phone to get it work with GPS and finally I got it working. Had tried tough things but it was simple though, here is what I did -

Got my Verizon XV6900 with datablock last week.

Followed each step stated here -

http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS

[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_ Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN

(I didn't let the customization run in any of the step above, just did soft reset by poking stylus in the hole as soon as 3 sec msg pops up)

[5] Flash any custom rom (I let the cutomization run afterward in this step)

Skip the step 6 aGPS fix since we are working with data block so no data can be transmitted for aGPS.

As a custom Rom in step 5 I used NfsFan's wm 6.5 V10.

standalone GPS is working without any further tweak or hack, tested with TomTom and Garmin Mobile XT, gets lock inside my room, though my apartment is fairly open and considering i' m in CA, I get a lock in 2-3 min.
GPS works great, only thing is I was not able to authenticate phone automatically after updates, will have to call VZW tomorrow. finger crossed hopefully they will do it.
