Don't worry about that. When you go to add ports to QPST, there will be 2 UBS ports. Add both.

I have gone to your post 330 and clicked on the updated sites for WmodemDriverInstaller, but they are bad now too. By the way I've got NFSFAN's 6.5 ROM, will this work as is on a VX6900?? Also, I have tried this all before with no success at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...VerizonAGPSFix. It ran fine but I had no result. I have done a hard reset on my phone since in order to start from scratch, do I need to reinstall WmodemDriverInstaller? Is that only for my Vista computer or does it also install something on the phone? Also, when I have installed this before, twice, it says that my modem is a Palm Treo Modem. I don't know if that is a generic name or indicative of a problem.

I think you meant to quote JoshKeller? Use the link in post 329. It has good working Wmodem drivers.

I too am having the problem that the drivers won't automatically install. I have made sure the drivers are on my desktop (uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled) multiple times, but when I connect in diagnostic mode, windows new hardware manager comes up, and can never find the drivers.

So, when iI go into device manager, it is not listed on any port in "Com & LPT". Just above that, it lists "Other devices" w/ a question mark over it, and "HTC Vogue Diagnostics" w/ a question mark & exclamation mark, indicating it has no drivers.

I actually did it once before when I was trying to piece different bits of advice together, but hadn't downgraded and re-upgraded the radio to lose the Verizon update. Could that have something to do with it?

Also, when I called to reauthenticate, the guy insisted I *228 to update the software before they would do the authentication process. That didn't re-"F" my phone did it?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks to all for efforts!

I have done everything you stated. I installed the WModem manually prior via http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=62611. QPSt ran flawlessly and COM4 showed itself as a phone along with my ESN. I made sure the black boxes were checked and followed all the instructions to the T. I have NSFAN's 6.5 ROM and was told that after doing this I needed to install his GPS.cab for Verizon and then to add the following changes;
Server IP: 216.198.139.92
Port: 8889
I tried GPS prior to installing his cab file but it didn't work. Then I installed the cab file and made the changes in HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/SUPL_AGPS.
Nothing... Data Connection is good, I can get regular traffice updates on Google Maps, but GPS just won't work.

Not for sure at the moment but please post in the VZW agps thread and not the alltel. Please copy your reply there. Also did you get any satellites using htc gps toll or gps viewer. Please repsond in the VZW thread

There is only one USB port listed, the other says serial. Since I can't see the Ports in Device Manager, I'm starting to suspect this is the problem right here. I've run this thing from a hard reset 10 times plus from scratch. It just doesn't work as stated.

From what I have read, the 6900 only shows one port, does it say SURF####?

You may still be ok. Read through the threads for the 6900 having to do with aGPS and you will find some support for this.

Yes, it says Surf with the ESN number in parenthesis. However, I've run this program as I've mentioned a bunch of times with absolutely no luck. I don't understand why people say this works.

Hey Drewcam - thanks for the quick response. When I try to install those drivers, since I have already done it once, the install program comes up and says, "Detect invalid driver(s)... please uninstall the driver(s) first!!" Then the program has an "Uninstall Driver" button. That's the only way I know how to uninstall the drivers, but I assume that's good enough. I then reboot, click the WModemDriverInstaller.exe, and go through the install, and it tells me they're installed.

But again, when connect my phone in Diagnostic mode, it sends me to the New Hardware Wizard. (It's not supposed to do that at all is it - it's supposed to just install them and be done correct?) Is it possible to find the drivers using the Windows Wizard? Where would I search for the driver files?

Other than that, any other ideas? Should I try reflashing? I'm up for anything, although I'd rather not try to reauthenticate again, which I assume I'll have to do again if I try from the first step of downgrading my radio back to the Sprint Rom.

I noticed your radio is 3.42.40. I was there before, but followed the wiki instructions at: http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS to downgrade and work my way back up to the Verizon 3.37.77 (which is where I am now). Was it possible to get GPS working again without doing that?

Thanks again for your help...
