Confirmed Working!

GREAT JOB!

Donation on its way!

Edit: Donation Sent and well worth it! Thanks again! Your the man!

EDIT 2: Im using the Juagalo ROM to test. IM sitting in my basement office and picked up 6 sats in about 45 seconds. TO be honest with you thats about as good as my Titan with aGPS turned on and functioning. I was testing using Google maps and the stock Verizon radio.

Scott, I am using one of your ROMS. Not the current one, but the one prior. I flashed your ROM to my Sprint hardware & activated it on Verizon. My GPS is already working. My question is, what would be the difference between the GPS I am already getting in your ROM and the GPS available in bored's .cab? Am I only getting A-GPS right now with your ROM? Thanks!

I tried this on my latest VZ Nav ROM and it allows both google maps / live search to work as well as VZ Navigator.

Great job once again!

Just my two cents: I think this does use aGPS when on a stock VZW ROM with stock drivers.

great work on the hack!! I tried the steps as outlined but it would not work for me, in fact under settings/system the GPS icon had dissapeared.... I did the following to succeed:

Did a factory reset (volume down and enter buttons pressed press reset while holding volume down and enter button)
*228 1
then step 5 (GPS_Fix_v2.cab)
ppst
reset (automatic)
*228 1
installed HTC GPS Tool (set as recommended)
installed google maps
had to set GPS to manual com4 4800
google maps locked on 6 sattilites in 30 sec!!! all other functions seem uneffected

Please disregard my last post. I got it from the first page.

And i managed to lock 9 satellites.

I just tried the instructions mentioned by bored.

When I run the HTC GPC Tool, I get up to 8-9 Sat, but 0 fixed Sat. Does anyone know a resolution to this problem?

p.s. I have a Verizon HTC TP.

Hey guys I need some help

I stupidly tried to follow these directions even though I have a Sprint Touch Pro.

I ran your fix and ran PPST.exe

I lost my data connection. Hard-reset doesn't fix, so how can I get it back. Did that update the PRL?

Great stuff thanks for always being on to of the GPS scene.
