Then extract, put the .nbh file (Only try JD's at this point) in the same folder as all the files, double click ROMUpdateUtility.exe and then it should look the same as the the alltel flash.

Thanks man, i tried what Musicman247 did and it worked for me... (showed my house and the lil blue n grey circle moved as i walked back in the house) im still goin to flash to JD's rom. Appreciate the help!!!

Did you change any settings? Like set the com port to com4? And if you did is that software or hardware com port?

Edit: Also what program locked for you? google maps? windows live?

Garmin XT works, Sprint Navigation works, no luck setting up Tom Tom though yet..

Didn't drive yet to see if it can keep up...

i hard reset, allowed customization, autoreset, installed google maps immediately
clicked "use gps" and waited about 2 minutes and it locked.. no apps installed, no configuring, nothing everything just worked.. i wonder if it was the hard reset that did it although i see no reason why it would have an effect. google maps and live working VERY FAST. no need for quickgps for me.. and im INDOORS.

now im wondering is gps on all the time? will it consume my battery?? in future roms will we be able to enable/disable gps via comm manager?? questions questions....

I think its the same as the mogul... if you have an app open thats using it its on and draining the battery... if not its not on per se. You can disable it by going to settings -> phone -> services -> Location setting -> get settings and switching it to off. But it shouldn't drain the battery if its not in use.

I also got it to work with google maps, took about a minute for it to lock. I'm going to try quick gps and see if that helps or hurts. I had 3-4 on one side of my building in my apt complex, 5-6 on the other side. After the signal went out though it didn't lock back on.. had to toggle use gps off then on and it poped right back up. All in all seems to work real well. My mogul which i had for about a week by comparison had around 12 active satelites.

So to recap, I hard reset, let the customization go, installed google maps, clicked use gps, waited approximately 1-2 minutes and it got a lock. Its accurate. This is with JD's ROM. Not sure why this didn't work before for me cause I could have sworn I did exactly this last time.

quick question: is anyone having issues with the htc home screen taking you to the general "select an account" screen when you hit the email button? how do I remap this? is everyone having this issue? (not really huge but my other setup took me right to the email inbox)...
