New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
I take no responsibility if you damage your device in any way!

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=5...259f623aa34742

This Link you can find all the files to do this... i wrote this up in another post also.. i think it might help people.. sorry for the duplicate if anyone notices

Steps:
1) Use: "Titan to Stock Verizon.rar" and use the titan_relocker.exe to relock the titan to the older 1.xx bootloader.. then use the RUU folder and run the rom flash to downgrade to the old verizon rom with the old radio. after LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN. (you would think that the old pri will override the new one, but it will revert back when you do step 2)

2) Use nueSLP2.47 to upgrade the bootloader (just use this, instead of 2.40 because this will allow the pri that the new verizon rom installed (2.03_002) to work with the custom rom you flash later.)

3) Flash radio 3.42.50 via sd card (or another way u perfer), if need be take out the battery and put back in if you stay in bootloader after this flash, then you should be able to boot as normal)

4) Flash custom rom (i used ppckitchen 20273 build)

5) Use TitanGPSFix (instructions to do so are in the rar file.. and you are done.

After all this I still did not need to reset my A-key or call verizon so it worked out great!

i was one of the first to upgrade to the new rom and was quick to restore the old pri.. glad to hear that you guys got it working.. but.. do you notice any difference?

GPS..

REV A..

how are they compared to the custom roms out here.. i am now hesitant to upgrade..
or if you guys can look in your external ROM or /windows.. and upload a copy of your Radio Refurbish cab.. that's the ne PRI 2.03..

thanks

GPS is REALLY working!!!!
 
This post is very similar to this one over at at XDA.

Check my post for ROMs being used.

Thanks to ALL of you folks for posting this and DCD for his wonderful efforts.

if i already have the stock verizon rom do i have to do step one?

NVM it's working. I didn't do the QPST gps fix because I did it a long time ago and thought it would have stuck. I just did it, and got a lock inside my house in under 4 seconds flat, from a cold boot. Unbelievable.

SO, for future reference, SPL 2.40 is fully compatible with this PRI, and if GPS fix is applied, the same benefits can be reaped.

Followed your instructions to the letter...

After step 3 (flashing the new radio via the sd card) my phone now gets stuck at the verizon logo. Any ideas?

what he meant forgot to say was.. he had already upgraded to the updated ROM first.. and let customizations run.. to update to the new PRI 2.03_002..

and then he did step one.. which is to.. relock and reflash to a stock verizon ROM.. and let customizations run.. (assuming that the stock ROM will change the PRI back to version 1.35_002.. but NO.. the new PRI from the updated ROM will stick..

and then use NueSPL 2.47 to UNLOCK..

and then Upgrade the Radio..

and then Flashed the custom ROM..

But you do not need to relock your device and risk F***ing it up.. just upgrade to the new VZW ROM and then use NueSPL to unlock your device.. so you can just skip STEP 1

hope this answers your question..

Tried that, it still sticks at the white Verizon logo. I put the radio file back on the SD Card and re did the radio update by putting into boot loader. Then tried flashing a custom rom by putting it into bootloader and running the RUU... gets to 1% then resets.

I'm using a the latest Titan 6.1 kitchen, and I've just finished setting up my phone with the apps, etc that I need.

Can I flash just the PRI and no have to hard reset my phone? Please excuse my ignorance, I'm coming from a 6700 and just getting used to the Titan flashing process.

Thanks!

ND4SPD 09-02-2008 09:21 AM

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
Okay I got past the issue I was having... seems to be a software/driver connection problem between the phone and my PC so it wouldn't connect to do the custom ROM update. So, one other question are we supposed to allow the customizations to run after a hard reset or no?

ND4SPD 09-02-2008 11:51 AM

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
Okay wtf... the GPS was working... now it's not. It's been sitting for a half-hour now trying to get a fix. I did notice that in EPST it's saying I have pri 1.35_002. Did it somehow revert itself? I checked with QPST and the gpsOne settings are still checked (and not grayed out) the way they should be.

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
I went through every step of this very slowly to make sure I didn't screw it up, and this is what happened to me...
After it was all completed I had these versions:

CE OS 5.2.20273 (Build 20273.1.3.3)
ROM Version: 3.56
Radio Version: 3.42.50
PRI Version: 2.03_002
No2Chem 2.47 Bootloader

HOWEVER!
Had to call for the A-Key. Even though I've done countless flashes, and haven't had a need to do so since the very first one I did. TOTAL PAIN!

AND!
Kept getting the (Code 11: PPP Connection Error) every time I tried to connect to the internet and had to place a second call to Verizon. They opened a trouble ticket, and one of their network techs had to reset things on their end.

When I was waiting for them to get things fixed on my network connection, I noticed that GPS wasn't locking. For some reason, it began to lock as soon as they got things fixed. My DMU keys needed to be reset on their end, but that shouldn't have had any effect on the GPS since Verizon doesn't use the internet to assist the GPS ONE chip. Apparently you can get around this if you have an old regular non-pda phone laying around you can activate using your Verizon online account, then switching back to your 6800 after about 10 minutes.

All working well now, after about an hour on the phone with Verizon and 2 separate calls. So it does work, but you CAN encounter problems along the way. God knows I did. I don't notice any real difference in the PRI versions, but I don't know exactly what specific benefits this version has to even look for improvements.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
My GPS isn't locking either right now. I think I have the same versions now as you do. My internet works fine over the phone though. Did you let the customizations run after you installed the custom rom?

Okay, I'm a dumbass... forgot to set the aGPS for "Location ON", it was on "911 Only".

Well it does get locks A LOT faster. But it was a total headache getting my phones internet and calling abilities working again. If I had known what a pain it was going to be I probably wouldn't have put it on. I didn't really mind the slow locking the old PRI had.

Hey guys! Damn I'm so excited, just had to share this!

INSTANT GPS LOCKS FOR VERIZON USERS!!!!!!!

Now we get what the Sprint users have had for so long. Assisted GPS!

GC14 who originally came out with the GPS FIX that was mentioned at the beginning of this post has changed the instructions a little bit, and has made the GPS assisted like the Sprint guys phones are!

You still have to use QPST and make sure all your check boxes are checked, but now you can add the IP address, and port numbers to make it assisted! GC14 ROCKS!

Now enough cheering, here's his post over at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423231

Locks are INSTANT, and if not only take a maximum of 6 seconds on my device which is only after a cold boot because it has to start my network connection. Seriously no more need for GPS launchers like BAF or ASTRO GPS if you don't want them. Your navigation / map programs will be able to fire up the on-board GPS instantly with no assistance. ENJOY!!!

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
I followed all of the instructions, from the XDA Wiki page. I can't get a GPS lock now (I could before I went to 2.03_002...but it was taking a 4 or 5 minutes.

What should I do now?

Radio: 3.42.50
PRI: 2.03_002

well, according to massive reply over at xda, it seems the aGPS functionality was working yesterday but is not this morning... I would stay tuned to the above-mentioned thread for updates on resolution.. kinda sounds like vzw locked down the server lastnight.

gc14 09-05-2008 12:11 PM

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
I don't believe VZW locked it down as my aGPS is still functional. We are looking into the problems though.

seems to be back up and running now... there was some sort of a connectivity problem to the servers early this morning though.

madjokeer 09-08-2008 04:48 PM

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
yes its running.. just follow the qpst setup with the gps server address from the link above.. and you should be good!

Hate to bring up this thread, but the link to the XDA site is dead. I was wondering the status of aGPS

PDAPhoneJunkie 12-23-2008 12:58 PM

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
aGPS is also short for "assisted GPS". It uses a server to help fire the GPS chip up faster.

MrObvious 12-23-2008 08:49 PM

Re: New PRI 2.03_002 Works with 3rd party gps programs!
 
I gotta say, this is a good move by Verizon.
