Updated!! (5/18/08) ALMOST OEM 6.1 Sprint Vogue ROM **V.2.1** with Working GPS/Rev A.

[ScrapMaker]

all you should have to do is:
1) Unlock with 2.31
2) Load Sprint "leaked ROM"
3) Run PPST.EXE in the /Windows directory. (sets PRI to 2.03_033) THIS IS WHAT MAKES GPS RELIABLE!
4) Load any GPS/REV.A capable ROM. (e.g. this one.)

After the PRI update, I have great satellite-based GPS, but I still don't seem to really get A-GPS, like I used to on my Sanyo M1... That would give me my location down to 5-10ft in less than a second, always, even indoors. Hopefully our GPS has similar features, but setting GPSMODE=4 still doesn't seem to have A-GPS...

Even without A-GPS, I still get cold locks of about 8-10 satellites in less than 30 seconds. Usually 5-10 seconds outdoors, and 30 indoors. Warm/Hot locks are almost instant.

2) Go to Windows dictionary and find ppst.exe. Run it once. Then start google maps and select "use gps". You should get a lock in few minutes.

You should get it much quicker than that. Also, there's no real point in using GPSViewer to prime anymore... (You didn't say to the contrary, I am just pointing it out.)

No need to flash "leaked rom". Like i said in previous post, just install ppst.exe and you should be able to get a lock.

So you are saying that you can run PPST.EXE with the stock radio, and get GPS? That's news to me...

Ran the ppst.exe file and still can't get a lock. Let me play with it for a few hours and then I'm sure I'll have more questions. Thanks everyone for all the help so far...

I never said that. Can you please put me on your ignore list? Thanks.

If that doesn't work, it's back to trial and error:

Try GPS viewer
Try installing the original leaked rom first

I have ran both radios 3.35 with great luck and now testing the 3.37 radio and this rom. So far for me I get great locks with gps. I just open google maps usually get a lock with in a min when cold faster when warm. And so far no problems with this rom, I like it great job

The internet explorer page with all the video sites listed, including porn web sites... is sexy enough for me to flash this ROM based on that alone!

Seriously, I'll rarely use it but it's convenient to have all the video sites listed that work on the phone.
