Gentlemen,

Today I took the plunge, and flashed a new ROM to my Verizon 6900. I flashed to the official Sprint 6.1 ROM which is supposed to have gps. Everything went smoothly, except that I can not seem to get gps to work. I carefully followed all the directions that are listed on the first page of this post, and gps still does not work. Could I be missing a step somewhere? Should I not have flashed to a Sprint ROM? Can someone throw me a life line? Please note, I am writing this after reading and searching here, at xda and ppchavan all morning. Thanks for any help.

Ok disregard, guya. I went outside, and got a quick fix on 8 satellites. All is well. AND I am rocking EVDO rev A. I want to thank you all for the tutorial.

so, for final verification, everyone doing this has a data plan? or is this a way around the data plan situation? i would love to flash my xv6900 but if it requires a data plan i shouldnt even go through the process, right?
