This ROM is for GSM phones...Not for us.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0
 

I just got my TP last week...to my dismay..no gps.

I did the v2 install.
Did the GPS Tool test and had 4 sats connect in the used category.
Fired up Google Maps...it worked the first time.

I turned my phone off..then back on a few minutes later...google exceptioned and closed.

I have tried numerous times to get the gps to turn on in google maps but it comes up...no gps.

I have PRL 51250.

I am getting sats 3-4 used when firing up the GPS tool.

Any ideas?

Have you tried to reapply the fix again? And did you check to see if "Location On" is still checked and didnt get shut off?

lol I'm gonna remane this thread to Kyle's GPS Support thread. Good job buddy, nice to have the help.

So you and everyone understands. If you flashed a Released ROM such as that (even if it was actually for CDMA) you stand a chance of locking the GPS back down again if Verizon did not unlock it thru the new PRI that the ROM would contain. If you were to flash a Released ROM such as that but it was for a different carrier, you would have a working GPS but your device would think it was suppose to be on the other carriers network. So you would still have to apply my fix up until the point that Verizon releases an update that allows the GPS to function with software other than VZNAV.

I know it's probably me, but I've looked at the windows subfolder on my very new VZ HTC TP (5 days) and I can't see the ppst.exe file anywhere- with
gsfinder or the onboard file explorer- with the setting to show all files. I'd really like to use your fix to get the GPS going. Has the phone's programming changed or more likely, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

are you sure you installed the cab for the fix? it contains that file and is set to put it in the windows folder

Hey there
I installed this on my alltel touch pro I just got last month. I was able to do everything except *228. I had the roaming triangle and put in the provided PRL in the first post to make it go away and then tried to *228 again but it gives me trouble and wont let me program and instead tells me to call an 800 number.

There's probably something obvious Im missing but Im "kinda" new to this stuff but not the point where Im a total idiot not knowing anything.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0
 

you didnt need this on the alltel device.... the reason you are having issues is you esn is allocated to the alltel network but you just set the initial programming to verizon... basically the network is now confused
