Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

This absolutely ROCKS!!!!
I followed these steps to avoid having to do the GPS steps manually and WOW!

End result is that my Bell Vogue is now running WM6.1 with GPS and RevA!!
I went from ~400Kbps to ~725Kbps! Ya baby! Faster pr0n!!! lol...

GPS is mostly working... I think it might be using aGPS so far since Google Maps says no satellites and "My Location" is a couple hundred meters up the road... =)

This still kicks a$$!!! Thanks soooo much for everything you guys have done!

Flash the Alltel ROM.

Soft reset on customizations (so they don't run).

Connect to ActiveSync

Go into Bootloader

Flash phone with jakdillard's ROM (check the Flashing How To if you need help.)

JD's ROM has the GPS files loaded and initialized already. It also has Rev. A. Works great on my Sprint Touch.

Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

sorry, should've read till the end since I think my question was answered by psweitzer. psweitzer, did you flash alltel's rom and then jd's rom and now have data and gps? If you did let me know, I just want to be really sure. does anyone know if I can flash back to factory settings in case I have to bring it in for service?

Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

yup.... Ran the unlocker, flashed Alltel and then flashed JD's rom!
Seems to only be using aGPS so far... although I am inside an old apartment building... I'll try it outside tomorrow to see if i get actual sats...
I found the setting to disable aGPS in the reg... Wonder if I should just do that?

As for bringing it in for service you most certainly could flash back to the Bell ROM (available here )
For anyone that was worried about losing favorites, contacts and such and didn't have your HTC sync'd to Outlook on a computer check out PPCPimBackup

This made my upgrade soooooo much easier!

Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

Ok, it seems I can only get internet if I am connected via ActiveSync... I don't know what is wrong, I'm going to reflash once more with freshly downloaded files, if this doesn't work, then uhg. Can someone link me to this JD Rom? His FTP is totally empty, there are also no links to said GPS and REV A ROM.

are you using Garmin Mobile XT? If so, have you upgraded your software? Ver. 4.20.30w upgrade... hope this helps.

Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

How come it took less than 24 hours for us to get the Sprint Touch working with Rev A and GPS while both Sprint and Verizon still haven't released their updates?

Seriously
