3.42.30 is my radio, When I first did my hard reset the first thing I did was try google maps to no luck. Then I went to alltel nav and it immediatly locked, then after that I got quick locks on google maps. Yet it just stopped working the next day and still won't work to this day. I then tryed the Shadowtech AGPS to no avail.

Did you upgrade your radio seperately? I upgraded directly from alltel's website and this is the radio it upgraded me to. 3.37.10, and alltel nav was not included in the update.

I'm not 100% sure, I d/l'ed off of the htc.com website, then dialed *228 option 2 for roaming let it reset, then redialed it and did option 3 and let it reset you might try that?

go here and use this to upgrade then do the shadowtech agps fix.

YEAH, It's working. So after some more investigating...The link from the Alltel website to upgrade is different than the HTC link for Alltel. The link on the HTC website is the newest one. So...I flashed the new ROM from the HTC website and GPS is working. I have already applied the agps fix and it is getting a lock almost immediately.
Thanks everyone for all the help. The link above this post is the newest ROM upgrade.

You should probably put that in the TP section...

I thought I was the only one that was having issues with gps. after upgrading to 6.1 I still could not get a lock unless i was running alltel navigation, or runnung it in the back ground. I finally took my time and did the shadow tech hack and it worked great. after I soft reset a day or two later it acted up but now day's later it works better than ever. I tried cooked roms also with no luck. I know how it feels when it seems likeeveryone else gets the good stuff. try the shadow tech, and be patient
