GPS issues with 3.37 and Custom ROM

[penorwood]

Hello,

I have not been sucessful at getting GPS working with the supposedly GPS-enabled 3.37.77 ROM.

I upgraded to the unofficial Verizon ROM and was able to use the Valhalla CAB to get GPS (rather quickly I might add). Then I flashed the OMJ ROM and now I can't get GPS.

I've been reading the forums here and elsewhere and all people will tell me is they either don't know how to fix the issue or that I did things wrong.

If 3.37 is GPS enabled do I still have to go to 3.42?

Did I mess things up here?

I have a GPS puck which I can use but would rather have it all built-in.

Thanks

It is my understanding that Valhalla only works with MR1 and not with custom ROMs. Have you gone back to XDA and checked the thread?

I understand valhalla doesn't work with custom roms ... but if 3.37 is GPS enabled why can't I get a GPS signal with the custom roms?

If you flashed to the leaked verizon rom and let the customizations work then you will need to flash back to the original rom. You can get all of the instructions of how to do this from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=181

Then flash to a new ROM.

Letting the customizations run on the Leaked ROM will lock down your phone unless you go back to the original ROM first.
