I just tried to download and it sends me to the HTC link and they have no update listed. I have the update but it is too big to put on this site so if you pm me I will send it to you.

bimerguy,

open up a registry editor and go to the key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\Location Setting

there should be 12 entries
(D means Dword, S means String)
these are the important ones.

D - ItemCount (2)
S - ItemName1 (ON)
S - ItemName2 (OFF)
D - ItemValue1 (0)
D - ItemValue2 (3)
S - ServiceName (Location Setting)
S - ServiceTitle (Phone: Location Setting)

make sure u put these in the soft reset if they arent there.

Alrighty,

1. Went through. Fresh Flash.

2. Installed the .cab file that you linked to.

3. Enabled Location and GPS settings.

4. Installed Google Maps

5. Loaded up Google maps, clicked "Use GPS"

No worky.



Sits there for about 30 seconds saying "Initializing GPS..." before coming back and saying I don't have a GPS Receiver installed.

I can try to re-flash again, but not sure if it's going to help much. Will try again tonight.

I think you did everything ok on the flash but you need to go in and do the unlock GPS with the 4 small cab files. When you get that working then you can go in and do the fast lock that Shadow Tech has written the instructions on. GOod Luck
