Re: 6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

After the MR1 update I have no issues with getting a GPS lock within 5-7 seconds in Google Maps.

From what I have been able to find out so far, the complete/full VZW update includes QucikGPS too.

For those of us who have already installed your (great, fabulous, wonderful, brilliant) lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab file, can we now install PPST2.01.CAB over it ?

Would we gain anything, if we did ?

Also, just to clarify, PPST2.01.CAB is the replacement for lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab, not for PPST1.46.CAB, right?

You can use either to unlock the GPS. Sadly enough I would recommend installing PPST2.01.cab since it is an authentic release instead of my creatively compiled release.

PPST1.46.cab is pretty much useless. That was Verizons original PRI.
