This might help for those looking to boost the gps (without just soldering a random length of wire)

[Desire HD General] Berky99:
My experiences

From the day I bought my phone new shortly after it was first released, the GPS was all but non-functioning. I.e., I'd get a fix once in a blue moon.

I bought a replacement flash cover but it made no noticeable difference.

I was ready to do a mod but had to send my phone back to HTC for other reasons. I also requested they fix the GPS due to its crapness. I've written more about their UK warranty procedure here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25984478#post25984478

Unfortunately the GPS, although technically better, still wouldn't achieve a lock hardly any of the time.

So I tried a little solder on the flash cover contacts. But as this was my first time soldering outside uni many years ago, I burnt a contact off entirely!

I bought another flash cover to try again and soldered more carefully. Still no joy, except while I firmly pressed on the lens cover.

So I thought I'd try again. This time, before soldering, while trying to pull the contacts fixed to the phone up a little, one broke off :( So getting desperate, I soldered a little more on the flash cover contacts. I also ensured the solder was higher on the contact that would connect to the one broken on the phone.

SUCCESS! Now I get a full 8-12 satellites nearly immediately. Clearly the DHD GPS design is utter **** but at least we've solved it together.

Edit: Grrr [insert swearword here!] It stopped working. It could find satellites okay but without enough strength to determine my location. I'm going to get another flash cover and try again...
[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
I've been trying to fix the contacts, but consistently the contact will somehow fail just a few hours later...
[Desire HD General] ausalex:
Thanks, just tried this on mine. Been unable to get a fix at all, twisted the wire around the terminals and got a fix in 4 seconds. Will solder the wire in Thursday evening when I have more time.
[Desire HD General] thecasimir:
thanks for this fix, I have use conductive tape and got 6/6 satellite in

3s with gps status, fix in little bit more time with igo (zero before in one hour ... )
[Desire HD General] joooe:
The only way for me to have the GPS operating properly is with the help of A-GPS. So, every time I want to use a gps program, I switch data on to download gps location info, then all is fine for like a day or so. If I don't do this, I just can't get a fix.

I've already made the hack in this thread with the wire. But can't just figure it out what's wrong with all this. Is it a software or hardware problem? Don't know.
[Desire HD General] Daimonion1980:
I think the conductive tape just creates a better connection to the gps antenna in the cover (left space between the springs and the antenna pads). But hey, it works and thats what we want to have. ;)
[Desire HD General] c5satellite2:
Easiest way to clean contacts is a clean soft pencil eraser, and then wipe with q-tip with a little alcohol on it. Clean contacts on cover, and on spring contacts. Then use a small pin with the last mm or less bent in a right angle and pull the spring contacts out about a mm. This will fix most problems first shot. The corner of the flash cover may stick out slightly, but just leave it alone and don't messaround with it. I use my GPS often 3+ days per week and since I cleaned and bent the contacts outward my GPS has been stellar! Much better than it ever was. 8+ sats locked in seconds, always. Since the cover is now pushing on the contacts and sticking out a little bit, you could press it in to clean the contacts a little IF IT STARTS TO ACT UP. Otherwise, DON'T MESS WITH IT!
[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
For anyone with a broken GPS contact and multiple GPS antenna covers lying around, have you tried soldering a wire that runs from the GPS contacts on the cover to the points or stubs for the GPS receiver on the motherboard?
[Desire HD General] pinguino500:
Gps fix in inspire

Just got my red inspire and no gps; took out the flash cover and from much rubbing trying to clean it, got out the tiny contact.

Since is not a very common cover (red; didn't found any in ebay or google) I try the sticky metal paper but didn't work.

Since I don't have a soldering gun I try a stranded copper wire twisting a little by hand around the contacts, with no cover and voila, I got 5 sats. in 12 seconds and my google map and Orux start working like a champ. But sadly when put the cover back, nothing.

Since is a inspire, we have no room like the DHD, and I will try a combination of foiled paper and a coiled wire in a small nail to see what happens.

I found is a combination of the software and poor hardware design in the inspire.

I will post later. Hopefully I think there is some cover in Hong Kong but is hell expensive, like 10 box each one. Let's see.
[Desire HD General] krzych:
I have better reception than wildfire with the original antenna so I presume you achieved less than with original...

As there is another thread (with video) about the same fix and I posted there a _WARNING_, I'll post it here too: DO NOT BEND THE ANTENNA (plastic flash-glass/gps-ant cover) if you try to solder over it only. If the antenna is supposed to work any time later, it must not be bend too much or it will break (it's thin enough that if you bend the casing, the differences in sizes will resize it too much - I don't know how to put it in english, but you should know what i mean).

Just be carefull, or it will became a piece of plastic cover only.

Here you guys go. Just downloaded it a few sec ago.

New Update just came guys! Pulled this off my phone this morning. Figure its our security update but i have no clue yet as i have yet to even dig into it. wanted to put it up soon as i got it for the devs to take a crack at and see what it all has for us.

OTA_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3-2.08.651.2_release_2201598na37g8l1af4e904.zip

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M4RLHO4F

This is NOT a ROM. DO NOT FLASH. This is for the DEVS.
[HTC EVO 3D] jetbluebob:
Good Job.. thanks..
[HTC EVO 3D] remf4i:
Is this another new update?
[HTC EVO 3D] bignibb:
Is this a rooted stock Rom or just the latest update?

[HTC EVO 3D] smoley:
Just flash over current ROM?

I think ill have treve look at it first LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
my bad forgot how flash happy ppl get here. This was pulled this morning off my phone. Its the new OTA update Sprint/HTC pushed out today for us. Figure its about the same as the Sensation got before but haven't gone through it at all yet.

This is for the Devs to add to their ROMs as I pulled this off my phone this morning.
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
so now they are removing CIQ? thats odd, oh well, thanks for the post. I shall check it out
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Hope somebody makes this flashable. Don't want a whole Rom update for a few file changes.

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
dunno haven't looked into it yet myself. i assume its along the lines of the sensation update they got weeks ago, but dunno. And likely Treve will have the answer before most get a chance to look at it.

Hell i haven't even looked at all the files that were included in the OTA zip myself. I saw there was an OTA update for today and went ahead and downloaded it to post up for the devs.

Also remember if its still in there it might not be a big deal. The big issue with it all before was the fact that anyone could create an app and pull very important information off peoples phones b/c HTC/Sprint/whoever didn't secure everything well. Also they didn't have the "opt out" stuff working correctly or at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
They could have at least fixed the missing mirror app, and the shutter sound in the camera. Were the only HTC phone that they removed those from.

Re read the first post or just read it said IT'S NOT TO FLASH FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY...

Read the OP?? lol

Id wait to hear from a dev on this OTA update, bud.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
A: don't flash this. B: stop complaining about what is/is not included in it.

i tried flashing it and ionstalling a rom for the first time but it froze halfway through for like 3 hours so i just unplugged it and now this screen comes up...

no whenever i turn it on it gives me a screen with :

a phone .... an explanation mark in a triangle ! . .. . a computer

anything i can do?

also ive tried every button trick on trying to restore it and none of it works all of it just come with that screen. except for the download one where i press volume down home button and power
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..

Are you rooted firstly?

If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?

How did you try to install the rom?

More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicoonDK:
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Nothing from what you said would help..

He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..

From what I understood, he could get into download mode.

So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?

dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.

OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
well from what he said by his post did not make sense at all..hence why i asked for more details to explain so i could give him a better explanation and guide to fix his problem...but you seem to get what he said so by all means do your thing....but if he comes back with more detail then i will point him to the right direction on what he needs to do...at the end of the day the more opinions he has the better for him;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Yes of course ;)

Btw, never ment to insult you in any ways ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other:p;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadouming:
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.

Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.

Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbey:
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1095274

i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states

push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader

push and hold vol- and home then power for download

sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it

however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this

you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.

simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
