6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

[Maverick0984]

Does anyone have a CAB for QGPS? I don't really want to flash a ROM and can't seem to find it on my own.

bored, thank you for this, it works great.

I have a slight problem, I have a verizonized sprint touch pro. Unfortunately, I ran your PPST step but I don't think it was necessary. The result is my banner is totally dead. I have reflashed PRL and even reinstalled my verizon rom, but it stays the same. Is there something I can change to get it back how it was?

I got it working. But first I made it worse. I tried activating my old phone and coming back. But the new PRI installed by bored's CAB prevented me from reactivating! Finally I got a compatible PRI on there by installing:

Hermann_C_SPRINT_WWE_1.03.651.4_RS1.03.15F_SPCS_1. 53_0909_PRL60613_Ship.exe (sprint shipped rom for touchpro) (actually at this stage my phone activated without me even running *228 again!) and then
RUU_Raphael_C_VZW_WWE_1.03.605.4_Opera2392_RS_6150 21_VZW_1.03.03V_1.46_51064_Ship.exe (verizon leaked rom) (for curious, NO, you cannot skip the sprint ROM. The verizon ROM does not restore the PRI, I only installed it because that's what I wanted on the phone)

At that stage I had to restore a couple of the verizonizing settings (read: things editable in QPST must be rechecked) for everything to work. But the PRI was fixed. So apparently the Sprint ROM restores the Sprint PRI.

So, for a verizonized Sprint TouchPro, to get GPS, do the following:

1.

open QPST, go to gpsone, change to following:
ip: 66.174.95.132
port: 8888
pde transport: ip
position calculation: pde

2. install bored's cab file

Do NOT run PPST.exe. First, it hoses your banner so it is always blank (not a big deal). Worse, it prevents you from reactivating or reprogramming your phone with Verizon. If you do it, follow the above procedure to restore to a valid PRI.

As helpful as you were, I found all these and experienced all the same errors people were posting. The certificate error to be specific.

Install + reg edit + copy QuickGPS.exe to \Windows and nothing, soft reset, still nothing. Says there is a cert error.

Could it be because I am on the stock ROM?

If I were you I would wait for Scott release his 3.0 Final rom in a few hours and use that. His work is awesome and the speed is great too. Giving your using a Verizon TouchPro.

Oh sorry, I should've read the thread more carefully. I assumed it would work on a VZW TP since I have it with Scotts (scrolser (sp?)) new ROM 3.0 beta - he's releasing the final in a little bit so you might want to update to that. He's got the best ROM for VZW TP's IMO and I highly recommend custom ROMS on the VZW TP

I really wanted to avoid flashing if I could. It seems like too many things get broken. I will take a look at it though.

If you do it right, you will notice a huge difference.

Hardly anything gets broken. Scott's ROM is a must-have or atleast a must-try. I'm really glad I did and nothing I used was broken at all - very little actually gets broken with custom ROMs unless it's on purpose You can always revert back to the stock if you find the custom ROMs don't suit you (although they should ).
