You need to downgrade your pri. A pri of 2.03_002 wont work with a custom rom. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1084719#post1084719
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crazysane:
I have Pri 1.34_002 so not sure if that is me problem. As stated the surf7500 is on port com5 not com4. how do i fix this so it will work for me? please help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
The gps on the titan is on port 4.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crazysane:
So how do I go about changing the port since the only two ports showing through QPST is 4 and 5 and 5 being the surf7500? This is what I find confusing and unable to find any information written in the forums.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
What are you trying to do because you have confused me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crazysane:
Trying to get the com4 port to become my gps and surf7500. Currently I have done everything stated in the how to fix for agps but instead of being able to use the com4 and allow my phone to connect and use sattelites it just searches without finding anything. I need to know how to make the com5 port become the com4 port so that everything works.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Still confused. Why would you need to change port numbers?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crazysane:
For some reason with the port com5 being the surf7500 it seems unable to connect to sattelites. Not sure what the issue is as I have troubleshooted every other scenario. Have found two different sets of IPs to use depending on where you read in the forum and also two different ports. One will say port 8888 and the other says 8889 while the IP's are

PDE IP Address: 216.198.139.92

PDE Port Number: 8889

PDE Transport: IP

Position Calculation: PDE

OR

PDE IP Address: 66.174.95.132

PDE Port Number: 8888

PDE Transport: IP

Position Calculation: PDE

So with this I am not sure what works or doesn't since I have tried them both.

Do a hard reset and start over. You have done so many this you might have messed things up.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crazysane:
I have now hard reset my phone. Called verizon and gotten authenticated again. And attempting to do the agps fix. I had at one time com4 and com5 with com4 being something other than usb and com5 being where I had seen the surf7500 as the guide shows. Now during the new attempt at the verizon agps fix I look at the ports and com6 is USB/QC data Modem and com7 is now showing USB/QC Diagnostic. Do I just use these two ports? and not worry about com4 or com5? This is all so confusing to a newbie.

If I need to worry about the settings at com4 and com5 how to I find those ports to return them to being blank? Also will this cause an issue of ports if the old ports are not found but still have information placed in them? Please somebody help me.

Well I flashed back to stock Rom and stock radio. Then I upgraded back to the Same 6.5 ROM and to the 3.42.50 Radio.

I was able to at least get the GPS to connect to a few different satellites using HTC GPS tool. I am unable to get a fix or keep the sats for very long. I am unable to see sats or get a fix with google maps.

I just checked my PRI and even after everything I did it is still 2.03_002

I don't know what I did wrong I followed the instructions step by step.

What actually makes my PRI change?

Quick question gc14, with this modification are we hitting VZW servers for GPS or Tower position information? Is this the same server VZNavigator uses? If so wouldn't they be able to track down if we are paying for VZNavigator and then charge us for the service later? Is there any user information (ESN, Phone #) that is sent to the server during the query?

Just wondering, I don't want VZW to think I am tethering or have hacked the VZNavigator software and then get charged extra. I'm fine with my GPS not locking indoors and fine with my current 30 seconds to 1 minute locks outdoors.

Thanks for the hard work!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
This has nothing to do with VZNavigator. It simply utilizes the PDE server that VZNavigator uses for assisted gps. You will only be charged for the data used to make the data call to connect to the server and get the GPS Information, that's it.

GetSPC is not required for Verizon users so I'm not sure why any of you are waiting to use it. GetSPC is for carriers who don't use 000000 as their SPC (which Verizon does).

It makes sense that it works for the xv6900, any device with gpsOne and that uses Verizon's data network will be able to use it.

I am not sure I notice any improvement with mine, seemed the same.

dmrouter

I followed your GPS instructions from the HTC Wiki

"Put the phone in DMR Mode by dialing ##3424"

The phone disconnects, the screen says DMR v 1.87, the files are installed and then I open QPST Config.

Though, maybe I missed DMRouter.exe as a program I need to install / use on my computer?

EDIT:

Just as an addendum, after I dial ##3424, the phone will display DMR v. 1.87 then the white screen disappears. It's been awhile since I've done this, so that may or may not be a problem.

UPDATE

Now that I have finally gotten the Original Verizon ROM installed I am now having trouble updating my radio. I am using a 2gb microsd card and placing it in the phone for bootloading. It says it installs successfully however when it reboots it simply sticks at the Veizon boot screen after a soft reset. Anyone know what this issue might be or how to get to the point of installing a better rom on it? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi All-

If anyone is still on this thread I too have a replacement 6800 phone from Verizon. I have gone thru the pages and have tried the Official Fix to enable gps. I can put my 2 phones side by side and with 5 sec the old one locks on and the new never does. I've tried MR1 then MR2. I've been at this for 2 days now. I too lose edit reg entried when I do a soft reboot. Can anyone think of something else? In a perfect world I could have just imaged the old phone to the new.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RyanMogul:
Yea no problem. Just manually place the phone in bootloader without the memory card. Disable usb connections in active sync settings. And reflash the stock Verizon ROM. That most likely doesnt have a GPS radio and is why you couldnt boot when you upgraded the Radio.

Once you re-flash the stock ROM you are already halfway through my xv6800 gps fix. Do a forum search for that ryanmogul xv6800 gps fix. It should be the first that comes up. Follow the insructions after the stock verizon part. And if you already have olipro2.40 then you can start at the installing custom ROM and GPS radio part near the bottom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] oZo:
Common issue, and very normal.

This is a barebones outline to let you see the process.

I outlined this in March, but it got buried.

***Readers Digest Version from my post at HoFo.***

Apparently when I received this Verizon Mogul (my first VZW) it had the latest software installed.

As a result GPS was LOCKED OUT.

I had to...

1) Re-lock the bootloader with a pre-GPS relocker (thanks, Olipro). YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN BOOTLOADER AFTER THIS STEP.

2) Flash a pre-GPS Verizon shipped ROM with radio (this scared me, as I had read it could brick your phone). NOW YOUR PHONE SEEMS FINE.

3) Unlock the bootloader to a GPS SPL like Oliprp 2.40, or nueSPL 2.47. ONCE AGAIN YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN BOOTLOADER.

4) Flash a Radio-only ROM (3.42.50). MAY GET STUCK IN BOOTLOADER, MAYBE NOT.

5) Flash your GPS enabled ROM again, and...

TaDa!

If anyone has a newer VZW Titan with Radio 3.37.xx on it, you will have to do this to get GPS working.

**Proceed At Your Own Risk!!**

Hope this helps someone.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
No this is not normal it should be perfect. The AGPS fix requires a data connection. Do you have a carrier data connection active when you are trying to get a lock? Is this on a custom or stock rom?

I do have a data package which is connected when WiFi isn't. It's a stock rom, as I've said in my original post. After my last post, for about an hour I couldn't get a lock at all, 0 servers found in google map with a message saying I had too weak of a GPS symbol to get a lock. And now, it works perfectly.

The GPS worked until I went to MR1. But, it would take 10 minutes to get a fix. I had to go to MR1 because I upgraded my memory to 8GB and the card wasn't being recognized. After I saw that MR1 had stopped my GPS from working altogether, I tried the MR1 GPS fixes to no avail, and finally went back to cooked ROMs. I have flashed the phone at least 4 different times in the last 2 days with different ROMs and still the GPS is not getting a signal. I can run GPSviewer and run a scan and it will find the GPS on com 4.

You can't go from mr1 to custom without going to 6.0 to earse the gps block. Do the following then go straight to custom and do not flash MR1. Also agps will work on MR1/2 with no problems many have done it. You just have to do it right. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=376873

Ok i just got this phone in the mail. Trying to understand how to unlock the gps.

ive seen two different methods for this.

1. put on a custom ROM as explained by this

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

But that is dependant on if you have custom rom or the MR1 or MR2.

2. Go to external gps and change it from 911 only to location on.

I did option two so i think it should work or do i still need to custom rom it? i am guessing that was a "before" fix?

im sure this is all discussed somewhere in this 80 pages of this thread. can someone narrow that down for me? I've been through 20 and not found it. IF there is something more to do to get gps running and suggestions of a free software to make use of it. I don't have a data plan, does that matter for gps?

*edit* i think i am getting the impression i need to change the rom. but yall keep talking about the MR1, Mr2 and all the like. how do i know what my phone is? i dont see that. if i use device settings i get
