GPS Died?
 

Once GPS is unlocked on a VZW TP, is it forever unlocked? That is, if I unlock GPS, then flash to another ROM later, is it possible I could hose it again? It's been working since Bored got it working, and now, I've updated my phone and can't seem to get it working again.

47 views and no one can simply tell me if it can be relocked as easily as it was unlocked?

Re: GPS Died?
 

It can be relocked and you just have to apply the fix again. I actually had to install the whole process from restoring the original and running ppst and rebooting to then installing bored's fix and running ppst. Essentially all the steps in the gps unlock thread starting at step 1. I don't remember what I did that necessitated this, but I thought I had broken it permanently until I tried this.

WOW. Well, at least I know I don't have to return it. Thanks so much for the response.

Glad you got it working. Mine thought I was flying across the Nevada desert at 212 mph for some reason and said it locked on 4 satellites. It was really strange. I am just glad it wasn't hosed and just needed a redo of the fix.

Just reapply fix. Some ROM's will remove it. Not many.... My older ROM's removed then reapplied fix for simplicitiy. Forced radio reporgram though ;c(

Wrong drivers. VZW by any chance?

Re: GPS Died?
 

yep, vzw. Reapplying the fix did the trick. Could I still have the wrong drivers even if it is working correctly?

Re: GPS Died?
 

No.

What ROM are you running on your VZW Pro?

That normall means you are trying to use GPS Intermediate drivers and not COM4. Usually. If you have one of my later ROM's just use GPS as is. It uses default intermediate drivers.

Hey Scott, glad you joined this conversation. I'm using your kitchen. I've used your ROMs in the past and had great success with the GPS. But for some reason, this time using your kitchen, it botched it. Did I miss a setting maybe?

Hey Scott, i was using your rev B kitchen with 20764. The gps was working fine in google and tomotom. Google was using intermediate drivers and tomtom auto configures. Then all of a sudden I opened up google and was flying through nevada. lol. I hard reset (not clear storage) and had the same problem. I then reinstalled bored's fix and everything was fine again. The only thing I had done was not use hte gps for about 3 days before that happened, but I did update quick gps which didn't fix it either.
