Ironically I saw those words coming. I was just waiting to see who would say them first...

This is gonna happen. Whether it be today, tomorrow, next week, or some time later, it's gonna happen.

Re: New Alltel Rom?

I just did the upgrade. GPS is not included in the ROM. The Connection Manager screen has been updated. My home is on the edge of the EVDO signal, so it is switching back & forth between EVDO and 1X connection.

My phone also thinks it is in Roam mode (flashing up arrow n status line). Maybe that will clear up in the morning when I get closer to a good signal. We'll see.

Woah, weird... all the posts just showed up. Weird cache I guess. Updating this post now.

mardukeme: I don't see a 'drivers' tab on the task manager. Under the 'services' tab, the gps service points to the GpsDaemonService.dll

I have v3 of the task manager.

BTW, armus... I can't install google maps. I got it to work with a sprite backup, but too many other things were crashing, so I just got my contacts and left the rest alone.

hgray,

Sorry I bricked my phone, so I'm trying to recall it from memory, the tab should be called "Device Manager"

ive been beat down :p

I saw the mogul beta rom come out and I was hopeful. I saw the mogul firmware comeout and I was less hopeful but still hopeful. I awaited the Verizon release with such hope...alas all to be dashed..

OK Im being a little melodramatic, yea we'll get it someday :)

Re: New Alltel Rom?

I broke apart the new nbh and took out the special radio file. I then broke it apart and took out the spl, leaving only the radio.

After flashing only the radio, my device is deinitely Rev. A enabled. My speeds on my phone have never been anywhere close to as fast as they are now. PLEASE NOTE: flashing just the radio (ONLY DO THIS IF YOU REMOVE THE SPL FROM THE RADIO NBH FIRST) will cause your phone to say "NO RADIO" when it boots. BUT the phone will still work just fine. It has great signal and my internet is 5x faster than it was (based on the speeds i'm getting at dslreports.com/mspeed)

I've successfully flashed it back to the stock radio with no problem.

As i've said before and will say again don't run special_4350 radios and if you run a GPS/3.xx/785 header radio there are parts that will not be overwritten when you downgrade. This may appear to work fine most of the time, but it definitely could cause issues as well so be aware of the risk.

Additionally for all those that have the phones stuck in the 2.01 bootloader i'm going to be working on a fix, but my phone is currently bricked in a different state.

As for the new unlocker, i want to do more testing because it looks like there are other things i might need to check with this rom before the 2.xx hardSPL is safe to flash.

Looks like there's a little more to it than just copying the files over, check out the third post on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...87#post2143987

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I had to step out for a bit. Thanks for the help though! Your phone is down, but you're still in the game! :-D

So, there is no "Device Manager", but there is just a tab called Devices.

Things are named:
$device\xxx(xxx:)
and the column next to it is the status of the device. Sound right?

So, I looked again and I missed it the first time, but there is a device called "GPD0". It is running the gpsid_qct.dll.
I was able to load the device.

There is another device that looks relative called "GPS1". It runs viser_gps.dll.
I can't load it.

The only other thing I saw that was relative was the service (under the services tab) ;-) "GPC1". It runs GpsDaemonService.dll.
I cannot start it.

I also just noticed that GPSID_QCT.DLL is linked to COM4, so I am gonna try and see what I can get out of that with live search or system prefs, because I believe you can select a com port for an external gps. Maybe this will trick it into working. :-/

@ wnbowman: make sure you *228 your phone and press 3. (htc's instructions)
My phone kept flashing the roaming triangle too. Technically I'm out of my home area, but I just change the SID back when I go from Clemson to Charleston.
