Verizon Step-by-step to GPS

[xd1936]

This site is an incredible resource, but the step by step n00b directions really aren't here yet... let me see if I understand this.

1. Make sure you have a PIM backup

2. Use the CoKe 2.31 to flash this rom to get the radio upgraded

3. Reset before customization

4. Flash your own ROM built in the kitchen

Is that all there is? It seems like that's a lot of hype over those three steps

I did those exact steps, and GPS works flawless with GPS Viewer or Google Maps. First time it took abotut 15 min to lock, but every other time it takes less than an min. the only thing you are missing is calling verizon to get your new A-Key and doing a *228.

And when does the MSL and all of that come into play?

Not sure what you mean by MSL, in my case, I followed the steps you have outlined but after flashing the sprint rom the phone was on roaming and would not make calls which was a know side effect. I just waited until I was done flashing everything and had a new verizon kitchen based rom on and then called and told verizon that I had done a hard reset and that I was getting an authentication error. They reset my Akey no questions asked and flashing new roms based on the kitchen I have not had to call back for a new a key. I tested the GPS on verizon all day yesterday and even did a soft reset to see if the intial lock would take longer and it seems to take 1-2 min outside no matter (which is great in my book) and tracked while driving around town just fine. Works fine for me. I was concered that it was not working at first because the lock took so long (15min) but looking at GPS veiwer I could see action and with my other GPS units I know that first lock can take longer. than locks after that. Hope it works for you.
