Any help would be awesome...

Identical problem with me. Got a replacement xv6900 with 6.1 and Valhalla does not work on it. In fact now I can't even uninstall Valhalla. I hate to hard reset the phone and install everything again...that would be a pain. I think I'm just going to cancel data until VZ opens up the GPS to Google maps; right now data is not much use for me without the GPS function. VZ Nav at $10 a month isn't worth it for me as I don't travel that much.....

p.s. anyone know how to find the files and remove Valhalla GPS???

I think with the verizon stock ROM, gps is locked to only work on VZNavigator. You will need to flash to most recent Bell Radio (I forget the exact version, but it ends in .50)

well I downloaded a number of so called fixes, I'm not sure which one actually worked, but I am now atleast able to get some satalite chatter when I open HTC GPS Tool. It still won't fix on a location but I believe thats due to the weather and number of trees in my current location. I didn't update the radio, I downloaded dcd quick gps.cab, nadavi htc gps tool.cab, serf telus aGPS for valhalla.cab, and changed a few of the reg. settings and finally was able to get something to atleast make an attempt at working. atleast I know the reciever is funcioning now. funny thing is when I tried to do it the seccond time I could get nothing. until I went into google maps, attempted (and failed) to locate satalites, then went back into htc gps tool and reopened the gps and it once again started picking up between 1 - 11 satalites, still no fix however. I will try again tomorrow when it's not raining and and post my results at which point. wish me luck!

I was able to get GPS working with the stock Verizon ROM. Just install VZ Navigator and run it (it failed to initialize GPS, but that's ok). Then install Valhalla. Now my GPS works with Garmin XT and without a data plan/aGPS. I struggled with it for a while until I figured out the stupid silicone cover I bought was blocking the GPS signal!
