6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

[marshaeg]

Ok, no one has any idea?
Surely I am not the only one that simply does not have the ppst.exe file in my phone's windows directory. I bought the phone, brought it home, made no changes, and this file simply does not exist. Please, any ideas? I need to get the GPS working.

use total commander and make sure you have it set to be able to see hidden and system files.

I'm using explorer and have it set to see hidden files and system files. Is total commander going to reveal something else?

I just got a replacement (brand new in box) from Verixon store last week, it is there... in the stock rom, I missed it the first time by but found it. if it's really not there then it is downloadable in the first post

as always make a backup first.

PPST.EXE is missing from the \Windows directory on mine too.

I am pretty sure I found it a few months ago when I first thought of doing this fix (but didn't waiting for either the aGPS V3, or VZW's own update).

I wonder if some other program or update deletes PPST.EXE?

After you run bored VZW fix cab, THEN go back to the windows directory. IT WILL BE THERE. (Make sure you've set the file explorer to "view all files"). THEN run PPST

It's all in the first post.

I had already read the first post, but I went back and re-read because of your reference it.
I don't see anything as to why PPST.EXE is getting deleted on some phones, and how to stop it from reoccurring. Could you please give a more specific reference?

make sure your file explorer is set to show all files... use total commander, resco or gsfinder if you cant get the regular file explorer to show

if you installed my cab ... PPST.exe is in your windows folder

If you reflash, you need to re-install the bored fix. Reflashing may (usually in my case) writes over PPST.exe

I did a quick search of the thread about this but I am still confused. Do I have to have the HTC GPS Tool open every time I want to use GPS? And the tool won't save my changes so I have to manually do it every time I open the app. Is this supposed to happen.
