Thanks. BTW - what is the source of the certificates? I don't want to install some certs that would later allow something malicious to run on my device. Or is this an unavoidable consequence I must live with?

Developers at xda. The are used to run 3rd party files and programs. It's a developers certificate.

So anyone could use them to create something, sign it and if these certs were installed, it could run on the device? Guess I'll just have to be careful.

BTW - I am able to start QuickGPS now so this did improve things. Will try a download next then edit the post with results.

EDIT - Working. SDKCerts.cab --> Soft reset --> QuickGPS.cab --> Soft Reset --> Initiate internet connection --> Start QuickGPS --> Download

BTW - I found that QuickGPS will fail with the "connection failed" error almost immediately (< 1 second after you clock download) if your HKLM\Services\GPSConnService key is missing. It shouldn't be unless you removed it for some stupid reason (let's not go into how I know this). Note - the only value in that key is GPRSConnection = GPRS1, and GPRS1 doesn't appear anywhere else in the registry. I wonder if this were replaced with whatever the prefix for the CDMA data connection might be, we wouldn't have to initiate a data connection first?

Next question is how fast will I lock tomorrow (after letting the ephemeris data expire from earlier this evening before QuickGPS)...

[FormerPalmOS]

Well, I guess I have to eat some crow. QuickGPS does indeed appear to do something. After a cold boot this morning, in the basement of a two story house in the rain, I locked 7 sats in 5 seconds with HTC GPS tool. Note - if using this with QuickGPS you should select warm start, not cold start though I haven't tried with cold start to see if it doesn't work as quickly. Cold start should (in theory) start the chip assuming no almanac or ephemeris data, warm start should assume up-to-date almanac but no ephemeris, and hot start should assume both are up-to-date.

Dimitri - you were right. Thanks to |||bored||| for digging up the developer certs to get around the security error.

I just installed the quickgps. It definitely make locking GPS lightening fast (even indoors). I did reboot once after installing cert and then after installing quickgps. for good measure, I just reprogrammed phone as well. I have VZW touch pro.

Thanks for getting this working. Appreciate your help

You are great. That worked!

The program runs, but it does say valid time: expired, but I'm guessing that's ok.

When I try to download over wifi, I get a connection failed message right away. When I try to download over the evdo link, I get the same error, but after 20 seconds or so.

I don't have a great signal in my house, so maybe that's it, but I figure it would work over wifi.

It also failed over ActiveSync.

Getting close.

Any ideas?

Sometimes it wont update for me right away. I usually leave it be and try later, then it takes the update

Ok. After a reboot, I got it downloaded.

Will test it out tomorrow.

Thanks!
