C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\.
Simply tell the wizard to look there, and it will show the file, click on it, and the installation will finish.

If you have Vista, try the drivers HERE

I have the Sprint Touch Diamond and have downoaded the files as mentioned and yet I can't get QSPT to recognize my phone.

Connected the phone via USB to PC - Checked
Place phone in Diagnostic mode by typing ##DIAG# - Checked
Downloaded Vista Drivers - Checked
Downloaded and installed QSPT - Checked
Run the QSPT Service Programming - Checked
Double-Clicked the little globe - Checked
Try to add a com # new port showing my phone bing No Banana ](*,)

I assume it has to do with the vista drivers, but like I said the QSPT installer did not ask for them. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong, or if those Vista drivers have to be placed in a certain folder.

Any Help would be very much appriciated.

Are you using PDE or Mobile? Do you have floating issue? Sometime the pointer will shift.

I can change the registry through QPST and wrote it, and used PHM reg edit to check that gps mode is 2, ip and port is correct to sprint on my phone, and the location is on instead of e911. I am still getting seeking gps satellites (0) even though the phone is right next to the window. Any hints or help? This is really annoying.

see if ur reg edits are still there. U may want to use the CAB file or else the reg edits may not stay. also double check that the gpsone settings are still there using QPST. Rom flashing can erase em. basically just double check everything is still there.

GPS Registry Settings

There are certain registry settings that are necessary for the Assisted GPS to work.

I've compiled a CAB of these registry settings for each seperate carrier.

GPS Settings - Alltel
GPS Settings - Bell
GPS Settings - Telus
GPS Settings - Sprint

You should now follow the gpsOne Settings steps.

gpsOne Settings

1. Connect your Diamond to your computer with the usb cable. This is also an excellent time to back up anything, just in case.

2. We need to put the phone in diagnostic mode. This is done by running dmrouter.exe by dialing ##DIAG Send (##3424 Send), or ##DIAG# for Sprint.

3. Let windows install your new hardware. There will be two dialogs that come up. The first one should install after you click next. The next will require a file called qcmdmxp.sys and says it can't be found. As luck has it, your computer already has this file, and it's located here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\.
Simply tell the wizard to look there, and it will show the file, click on it, and the installation will finish.

If you have Vista, try the drivers HERE

4. Install QPST if you haven't already.

5. Run the Service Programming program under the QPST start menu.

6. Double click on the little globe at the bottom right of your screen. http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/9176/globeew9.png

7. Click on Add New Port, and add COM# - USB/QC DIAGNOSTIC.
It should now show your Com Port and your phone WinCE (########)

8. Close the QPST Configuration window, and go back to the QPST Service Programming window.

9. The ######## from step 7, which is the same number in the ESN column, is your ESN! (in hex format). If you have your SPC already, keep going. Otherwise, scroll down and read the SPC section.

10. Click on your phone, and then click OK.

11. Your phone should now be automatically detected. If not select it to match the picture below, then click OK.

12. Click on Read From Phone and then enter your SPC and click OK.

13. Goto the gpsOne tab (you'll have to scroll to the right) and make your screen identical to this one, choosing the settings for your proper carrier below:

[code]
------------------------------------------------------------
Telus:
PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92
PDE Port Number = 8889
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation = Mobile
------------------------------------------------------------

14. Click Write To Phone.

15. SOFT RESET (or turn your phone off and then back on).

16. Test your GPS (some good programs are below).

GPS Programs

TomTom 7:
I've recompiled a TomTom7 cab to be more compatible with the Diamond. It has the GPS Registry.cab built into it, but if you already ran that cab it doesn't make a difference:)
The cab can be found HERE.

A cab without Server Settings is HERE

PM me for more information about TT7 and where to get maps.

Google Maps:
For those of you who haven't figure out that in order to download Google Maps you have to use Internet Explorer, it's available in cab form HERE.
All you have to do is install the cab, open Google Maps, press Menu > Use GPS.

Thanks to Ghettofreeryder (for the initial finding of this process), Juggalo_X (for the Vista Drivers) and all those who have contributed to this process.

If you like my tutorials and think I should continue writing them, please donate.

It took me a few days but I was able to do all of the steps as listed above. I also installed juicy 4.13 which has quick gps which seems to work in that I can download the updates.

My GPS does not seem to work. Any ideas ? Any suggestions ?
The settings I have for the GPS on the phone in settings are
- gps program port com 4
- no hardware port and baud rate 4800
- let windows manage access

I have google maps and Tom TOm 7 from Tobeychris

for google gps settings are just 'managed by windows' . the phone looks for satellites and nothing else happens
for tom tom gps receiver is set to 'built in receiver' and says the same thing.. seeking satellites, etc...

many thanks....

Many thanks to those that put this thread together...It took 2 hours and my verizon Diamond(stock rom) is locking 8 sats in 30 secs. I am running Vista 64 - never needed qcmdmxp.sys. I just loaded the Verizon cab, started dmrouter, fired up QPST, finally figured out my laptop was using port 8, started service programmer & configured gpsOne - btw QPST figured out the SPL(000000) for me.

My hats off to all =D>=D>

THANKS PRIMENALL!!

I tried it all, still not working out wih google maps or tom tom 7

Here is what is going on
- the telus navigator thing does work, no problems
- for tom tom I changed the device to all there also changed the baud rates to all possible and nothing worked
- for google maps the baud rate changes dont help

I tried the VIEW GPS tool I dont know if I am using it proberly. Basically I open the program, choose the baud rate, then click open GPS. ( I dont check any of the other boxes). With every baud rate, I see some gibberish appearing below after I click open GPS, however with each baud rate when I go to the next page it always tells me there is " no fix"

any ideas ? I dont know what else to do and am close to giving up. For the phone settings am I missing something ? I have the beam turned off as I read that this should be off.

Any help would be appreciated..!!!
