How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

[mindfrost82]

Since the other threads are full of posts, I thought I would create this sticky thread with all the steps needed to get Rev A and GPS on a Sprint Touch with the Alltel ROM.

Things to download:
- Newest Alltel ROM: http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_Vo...SpecialNBH.exe
- ImCokeMan's 2.31 Unlocker: http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
- Unlocking Files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...02&postcount=3
- GPS Files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...87#post2143987

Now for the fun part....
1) Connect your phone to your computer and establish an ActiveSync connection.
2) Run the Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe on your computer and follow all of the prompts (including when to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect).
3) After you get into Windows, do the Power-Camera-Reset to get into ImCokeMan's Bootloader (the rainbow screen).
4) Run the Alltel ROM exe file (follow all prompts).
5) DO A SOFT RESET BEFORE THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN or you will not have an internet connection.
6) Install the 3 unlocking files
7) Soft reset
8) Install the GPS cab (to the device if asked)
9) Soft reset

Now to check settings:
- Go to Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > Location Settings > Make sure its set to ON.
- Start > Settings > System > GPS > GPS Program Port is 4, Hardware Port is None, Baud Rate is 4800, Access is set to automatically

Now there are a variety of programs out there to test GPS, so choose one, go outside and wait for up to 5-10 minutes for it to get its first lock. Sometimes it happens quick, sometimes it can take a while. Make sure your program is set to Com 4 for GPS.

Quick question.. Is this using the a-gps built into the chipset? (Like what the Mogul is using)

Thanks.

I believe its a combination of both aGPS and real GPS, like the Mogul.

Has there been confirmation yet of being able to go back to stock Sprint ROM or other custom ROMs?

Thanks for that sticky but I have 2 lil questions :
- Would this work with telus mobility or it's only sprint?
- If it does indeed work with telus mobility, would this overwrite the rom it install when I usually hard reset (I mean the original telus rom)?
THanks to you and Cokeman

it should work with telus mobility... i'm using my sprint touch half way around the world in different network and working fine and it will change the original telus rom as this was made for alltel..

awesome writeup. just for absolute clarification, two of the unlocker files are .cpf, how do you install those?
