similar to my xv6800 device ..

Also in there an custom ROM for the xv6800? I got the
TomTom software as well..

I am very new to thing so I’ll need step by step info. thanks..

Look at my Sig Block if you want a newb friendly Titan ROM. Sorry XV6800 ROM.

TItan is code name.

EDIT: But yeah, dont put this fix on your 6800!!!!!!!!!!!!! My post will get you going and the people there will help you with GPS.

Well I tryed everything and nothing works.. NueSpl 2.47 does NOT work on my xv6800 verizon version ..
and it seems if NueSpl 2.47 does not work nothing else seems to work .. so .. I am still at base one ..
need to unlock my phone .. I went to the HTC site and downloaded the xv6800 verizon latest rom
and that works .. it loaded WM 6.1 as well over my old WM 6.0, I am very happy with the real HTC update
software rom flash.. anyways after that I then tried NueSpl 2.47 again and still nothing .. NueSpl 2.47 can't
seems to load itself as the bootloader or something .. it just don't work ..

Is there another better software I can use?

You really need to post this stuff over at XDA and let someone over there try to help you. This thread is for GPS on XV6850.

Its probably something really simple. Make your request to "damager" in my thread. He will help you. Tell him I sent you.

EDIT: BTW: You just made life for GPS on your phone very difficult by going to MR1. That was not a choice move if you want free unrestricted aGPS. You just effectively applied a lock down that is a ***** to remove.

I followed the instructions here and cannot get my phone to pick up any satellites, I ran the cab files as directed and reprogrammed the phone. I checked that the location is on and still nothing. The phone is a VZW touch pro.

Did you try to use Quick GPS first before locking?

What did you use to try and lock? Which app?

Not sure I follow you as I am beyond new to all of this. I first unlocked the phone (only got it today), I then installed your loaded rom (works great btw, I hated how the phone was instantly out of the box, with your ROM I now enjoy the phone!) I then followed the instructions on the first post to a tee.

I get an error if I try and launch vznav as well "file OperaL cannot be found"

You need to install opera. The VZNav link is coded to launch Opera and not IE.

Can you tell me what instructions you followed precisely? I can help you. I just am not sure what revision of instruction you followed.

Do this....

Apply PPST fix - fone will reset.
go to settings -> phone and then turn the Location Setting to On under the second tab on the phone settings.
Start a data connection either WiFi or CDMA (VZW wireless).
OPen Quick GPS and hit download.
Close quick GPS, open HTC GPS tool.
Click right softkey menu and select Chip ->Q7500
Then click Open Port.

Watch it for 1 minute standing by a window.

Hopefully you get a sat lock in the first minute. If not... Soft reset and go back to HTC GPS tool and select Chip again and then open port again. Stand by window for one minute.

Report what happens.

Will I need to unlock the phone again assuming the *228 locks it?

Sorry for all the questions.
