Did a soft reset again for good measure...lol went into google maps and to 'menu' > 'use GPS'. it says "initializing GPS" for a minute or so then comes back saying no gps receiver was found.

Any ideas? thanks in advance

Did you turn on the "Location Settings' to on? if not go to

Start>Settings>Phone>Services>Location Settings(click 'Get Settings')>select 'Location On'

Thats the step I usually forget. Hope it works.

yeah that was part of the valhalla instructions. I loaded android and also made sure it was on there too.

Okay, I think I've read everything about this official Verizon ROM and I'm still wondering if there is any advantage to it (for a Verizon user like me)? ... or is generally a mistake to load it?

I've been running custom ROM's with the Bell 3.42.50 radio and have no complaints, but it's bugging me that there might be some advantage to using my own carriers official gps-enabled radio. Maybe call quality? ... data stream? reception area? Is there any advantage for a Verizon user over the setups already available other than I would be slightly more in compliance with my service agreement?
