I really have no idea. Maybe with a little research I may be able to give you a more concrete answer.

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

Real newbie here. Have the Verizon 6850 (Touch Pro) and just updated to ROM version 1.08.605.4. Have two quick questions:

1) Is that an official ROM from Verizon, and is it the latest one?

2) Do I have to update or add anything else so I have unlocked GPS?

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

ok I keep having the same issue that another user had back in post 13 and i still cant figure it out even after reading. I follow your direction exactly as you posted to the T and I keep getting the following:
$gpgsa,a,1......*66
$gprmc,,v,,,,*31
$gpgll,,,,a*11
$gpgsa,a,1,,,,50.00,50.00,50.00*35

is this what i am supposed to see? Also i was just messing around one day and wanted to see what the other functions do and did the following:
Mode - cold start
Open port by MSFT API

after doing this i got the following:
GPS Postion result--->>
Version 1
size = 344
ValidFields=0x00002000
dwFlags = 0x00000000

is THIS what im actually supposed to be seeing?

Also be patient. The first cold start can easily take several minutes.

For those of you who flashed a Sprint Touch Pro to Verizon, this GPS fix will give you a Verizon PRI.

If you've flashed this fix to an Alltel phone, you're now stuck w/ a Verizon PRI also (which will give you the roaming triangle.... and tell you you're in 'digital roam') ... until now.

Here is the PPST PRI update for Alltel for the Diamond & Touch Pro. This will get you back to PRI 1.28_011. Also, if you're trying to migrate a Diamond/Touch Pro from Sprint/Verizon/Telus/etc. to Alltel you'll also want this PRI.

Instructions to install:

1. Download PPST_080714_VictorC_Alltel_1.28_delta.sa.zip and unzip.
2. Connect your phone with ActiveSync and transfer PPST_080714_VictorC_Alltel_1.28_delta.sa.cab to your phone.
3. Run PPST_080714_VictorC_Alltel_1.28_delta.sa.cab from your phone
4. Using File Explorer (or total commander, or whatever you have...) go to \windows and launch PPST.exe
5. Answer yes at the prompts. Your phone will now reboot.
6. Go to start -> Settings -> Device Information and check to make sure your PRI version is now 1.28_011
7. Dial *228 and then select 1 to program your phone OTA. This should download the latest PRL for you and get your phone back out roaming, etc.



Special thanks to Conflipper who found the signed Victor rom I was able to rip this out of. I've tested this personally on two Touch Pros. However, as with everything else... use at your own risk.
I know I've already thanked you but this fixed what ive been looking to fix for 2 days...

thank you!!!

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

Do you need to run the HTC GPS tool every time you want to use the GPS? I seem to have real problems getting a GPS signal form both Google Maps and Microsoft Live Maps, but seem to get locks eventually in the HTC GPS tool (and then am able to also get locks in the map tools).

Is there anyway to just open the map tool and get a lock on the GPS?

Also, I know you have said that the first lock will take a few minutes, but it always seems to take at least a few minutes for me (everytime I try to use the GPS).

Any thoughts?
