- - 3.16.651.0 IS real, and so is GPS - Link inside - NOT official release (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16806)

ok im done playing everything works great!!! time for bed!!!! i love the new rom, and will be running a good test on how she holds up between here(baltimore) and south carolina tomm. i also have installed tomtom6 on my phone. the only thing i dont like is the fact that i have to run google maps in the backgroung for the tomtom to recognize sat position. i hope someone here finds a cure for that! anyways, what a eventfull day and ill be on later with my trip report.

I've tried my best to the thread, but at nearly 450 messages (44 pages x 10 posts a page = 440), I'm about to lose my mind.

I've seen this asked, but I've yet to see a conclusive reply: Does this work for Verizon? If so, are there any special steps for it to do so?

Thanks!

First Thanks kmartburrito for this.
I had a hard time installing this to my phone and it seams like some other cats have to so this is what I did.Not saying this is right just saying I did it and my phone seams to be fine.Yes GPS works Google maps finds me in the woods in Maine. So I tried to run the RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3_1_.16.651.0_435009_RS3_27_0 0_SPCS_NV124
the way it was downloaded and kept getting errors so i unzipped the file and found the file Named "3.16.651.0.nbh" Removed it to my desktop and renamed it "RUU_signed.nbh". If you have the ruu update utility you could just drop the ruu_signed.nbh into it and run. I couldn't find my ruu update utility so I had a stock sprint rom. I extracted it (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_2.17.651.0_RS_TITAN_SPCS_1.4 7.01_Ship) to a folder on my desktop and just replaced the stock sprint RUU_signed.nbh with the one I renamed from 3.16.651.0.nbh. Once I did this I had no errors or hangups on 11%.

also did this.. and on VISTA ULTIMATE and phone is finally updating.. the bootloader/updater included with the 3.16.NBH file didn't work at all with VISTA.. just renamed and its now working.. i'll have gps/evdo in no time.. thanks op and everyone else for help!

stuck at 38 percent.. but went thru recovery mode and redoing it...

its up and running... but not finding satellites.. i'm pretty sure it will though i might need to enable it or something.. so yeah.. my experience worked! gl everyone else

oh and i forgot to add, ytpocket is not working from what i see but myspace music still works.

GPS works for me too. Google maps worls and live maps works. I noticed it took 4 minutes to locate sats and them BOOM ... all live and google worked.

Got mine all working thanks to some help from Shadowmite and Luv2chill. Updated the SPL to Olipro.2.40 from the download Shadowmite provided. Ended up loading the rom from the microSD using the same instructions in the first post.

GPS works providing I startup google maps first. I installed MioMap 3.3 PDA and it worked on Com4.

It's fun to play around with, but I'll redo it with a custom rom once some more optimizations are done...probably later this weekend.

Pic below is from the PDA version of MioMap. Inside my house, I was able to lock onto 3 sats. Not too bad, but don't expect this to compete with a sirf iii GPS receiver.

so i loaded up google maps and jsut stuck on 18 kb seeking gps... is this normal? i''ll leave it by the winddow... how good is it? do i need good cell phone reception? evdo? wifi? or just wait... i dunno.. anything i have to enable / settings? otherwsie i'll work it out tomorrow.. later

now i want something better than google maps.

my phone keeps reseting it self. I tried to run the new bootloader but i cant seem to get it to work for me. I have followed every step there is and still no go just keeps restarting

Is there a free turn by turn app available?
