you dont need 6.1. actually, verizons 6.1 update locks out the gps and it needs to be unlocked. search for verzion mr1 gps (mr1=wm6.1).

but u will need to enable ur gps if u dont use wm 6.1. look in the requirements section on post #1.

i think that verizon phones need to be patched reguardless of wether u use 6.0 or 6.1. but i only have the patch for 6.0.

Hey Shadow-tech, has anyone tried this on a Diamond? I sent you a PM about this issue the other day. I'm going from an Alltel Vogue (WDM's manila 2d rom) to a stock Sprint Diamond. I've heard that the Diamond gps suffers the same delay in acquiring satellites. tobeychris on the Diamond thread has a similar fix called "gpsOne." Your tutorial is better and I've performed your fix twice with outstanding success! Thanks for your reply.

I have searched several forums and feel overwhelmed at which is best to unlock GPS on my Verizon VX6900. When I came across shadow-techs I thought this is the best and simplest yet still uncertain of the 1-2-3s of it. Do I have to have a rom update or flash or do I just follow instr from pg1 thanks, confused

I'm having the same problem. Do these drivers work on 64-bit XP or not? I remember the Coke unlocker or driver wouldn't work with 64-bit, but worked fine on another 32-bit machine.

I got my XV6900 a few weeks ago with 6.0 on it, I then upgraded to the newest Verizon 6.1 update which I think people seem to call mr2. I then put NFSFAN's 6.5 ROM v7 on the phone. So that's where I am now....with GPS that doesn't work at all. Is this whole deal going to solve my problem or do I need to do something else?


EDIT: I guess I shouldn't have stopped reading on page 24..... on the previous page is says I need to go back to the 6.0 ROM....so I guess I'm going to do that and then put NFSFAN's 6.5 back on. Then this will all work right?!?

If you can confirm that will work I will get started on it. But I would like to know if I need to use a 32-bit computer to use the USB driver??

Please look here for current agps info for verizon. Joshkeller77 has the info in his signature later in the thread.

Yes you must go back to 6.0 then to a custom rom. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...94&postcount=4
