6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

[nnffme]

Thanks lllboredlll and everybody in this forum.
I am having problems unlocking GPS on my XV6900 with Verizon. I followed the instruction and it is not working for me. I think this is because I can not really execute PPST.exe. No matter how many times I click on it, it does not do anything. The PRI is 2.01_002 which I think is correct. Does anyone have an idea why PPST would not run on my phone?

Oh it really works.I have found it for a long time.

After trying for what seems like forever I finally got the GPS to work! Thank you very much lllboredlll! Now I feel like this is acting like the phone it should have been when I originally bought it! Thanks again!

I just did what the first post says. Now for some strange reason (maybe I skipped a step the first few times) it didn't work when I first tried it. But anyway what I did was

1. install PPST1.46.CAB
2. Run ppst.exe at \windows
3. Soft reset
4. install lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab
5. Run ppst.exe at \windows again
6. Soft reset
7. Open up HTC GPS Tool. Set Chip to Q 7500 and mode to Cold Start then set baud to 4800 and open port.

I did that, and opened google Maps and low and behold it worked!

Good luck and hopefully it works for you.

The fix works on fixing the GPS on the Verizon Touch Pro which is a Raphael

Ihave no problem with a donation, in fact if i knew someone in the houston area that could help me learn how to do this stuff I would pay them as well. I first problem is that I'm not sure how to get started.

I am on my personal pc, not my htc when viewing these lpost inks and attached files, so I'm guessing that I need to be on my htc so that the files and downloads go to my htc, right? seems obvious but I'm not computer savvy. thanks for you research, if you can point me to the basics of any read this first about changes, downloads, upgrading flash, etc to the htc where it goes through a more basic how-to it would be great. If it is just as simple as to use the htc when on this ppc webstie so the files go to the programs on my htc, then let me know.

The easiest thing to do is to log on to this thread with your Touch Pro, and download the files on the first post. After you do that then you can start updating. The longest part of the whole process is just waiting for the phone to power back up from the soft resets. It doesn't take very long at all.
