Verizon GPS not working anymore

[DrRoger]

Hi all,
I got a "new" replacement 6900, ran Valhalla, got no GPS satellite fix (I had this working on my previous phone which had the mR1 upgrade) so went to remove programs and tried to uninstall Valhalla, but could not remove it. Anyone know how to manually remove valhalla so I can try and re-install? Looks like I'm at Verizon's mercy as to an official release of a GPS unlock program.
Thanks!
Roger

If you don't mind sharing with the rest of us, how did you do it, I can't get mine to connect either

Help! I got through the unlocking with 2.31 unlocker, but on vx6900 restart, it went into customization and didnt give the opportunity to cancel. You could click OK or not with the same result. Could not even turn the device off.

I've always simply pulled the battery to stop customizations. I thought that's what everyone did.

Or use the stylus and press the reset button.

But I have heard a while back that sometimes the customizations will still pop up after a soft reset or two.
But then after the second reset it never popped up for those handful of people that this happened to.

KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........

I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.

Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:

<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->

Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOff icial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.

After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.

Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.


THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09



I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.

the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!


Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE

XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!

[duradil]

From what I've done myself...I used these steps and got GPS working.

Good luck.

I re-fixed per the first post and everything is rocking along now. I wonder whether VZW just screwed with people by changing up the server IP?

[shadow-tech]

not sure if u guys know this but u can just use the alltel agps server. it is a trusted server so anyone can connect to it.

you must have:

radio less or =3.42.30 (its in start/settings/system/device information)

REMEMBER: RADIO UPGRADE IS SAFE
DOWNGRADE IS EXTRIM.DANGEROUS

MEANING-YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR STOCK ROM AGAIN
download :
1)official SPRINT ROM http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloa...act=sd&cat=all
2)UNLOCKER 2.31 http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
3)my attachment

NOW:
1)Update to official SPRINT ROM (let run customizations)
2)Install to device verizon_dcd.cab (when asking for reset-press cancel)
3)install VERIZON_OVERRIDER.CAB
NOW SOFT RESET (use power button)
4)Install REGSforVZW_Overrider&GPS.cab
soft reset again(use power button)
5)Unplug miniusb and run IExplorer (verizon will update your phone settings)

NOW UNLOCKING with 2.31 unlocker(even if your phone aready unlocked)

1)Connect with astivesync and run Vogue_unlocker.bat and follow instructions on black screen (unplug and plug when it asks) after black screen ROMUpdateUtility should start automaticly.
If not-run ROMUpdateUtility.exe (iin tmpvg23 folder)and follow steps on the screen
CANCEL customizations (use stylus)

Thats it.

If GPS still not working

Install dcd cab (cancel soft reset if asks)
Install Overrider
soft reset
install regsforoverrider&gps.cab
Soft reset

After all this you should have Verizon HTC home plugin on today screen and GPS should work.
At this point your hardware and software updated officially.
dcd cab should fix your data connection.if not use ##data# or call tech support.nothing to be afraid of becouse that ROM is HTC official.

I think this website provides much better support then carriers customer service

And,of course,we have many custom ROMs:
search for NFSNANs,WDMs,OMJs,MY,AND OTHERS ROMs

edit: you can also upgrade radio to 3.42.50 by flashing BELL official ROM.I dont see any difference.I had fast GPS and good reception with 3.42.30 too.

So after I do all those steps can I then install a custom ROM and still get GPS to work?
