[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
so far ive done this step by step

ROM: Verizon Wireless MR1 (3.57.605.1)

in otherwords i updated my phone...

i followed the XV6800_MR1_Upgrade_Procedure_v2.4 that came with the GPSServer CAB

and it worked beautifully...right after DL my phone reset and turned on...

so now...

i looked at third step

how do i do this procedure....

ignore everything else i said i made everythign go back the way it was since my prior post.... :o

i have the Valhalla Legends GPSServer(3) zip file in my sd card....what do i do with it

how do i install into my phone...straight from my sd card, do i have to make a folder and put the files in a folder somewhere ?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kprice1658:
You can install it right from your sd card. On your device, open File Explorer, browse to your Storage card, and click on the .cab file, it will install. Also, it will ask you where to install, put it your storage..

Kevin
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
when i click for it to install

it promps the normal yes no runnign program window...i click yes...the screen flickers and nothing....

do i just soft reset after the flicker of the screen?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kprice1658:
I just read that you say "zip" file ? You need to un-zip that before copying to your SD card...it should be a .cab file that actually is on your SD card.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
well it was a zip file in my sd car...i extracted it to my phone....and went on to try to launch from there
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
You must have the wrong or old cab file. Install the one on page 12 thread 113

Works great. just put it in your phone and install it from wherever you place it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
i grabbed Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab (62.8 KB, 189 views) and unzipped, i dropped the 7 files into a folder in my sd card, i installed my sd back to my phone, opened it clicked the file setup file and i still get launched into internet explorer showing some long coding :(

wtf david blain...first person to get my gps working gets 5 bucks via paypal on Wed

i mean...do i have to soft reset after launching into that wierd coding?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
dont unzip cab files just run them on the phone

ie copy valhalla.cab to your phone.. open file explorer and click on valhalla.cab (or whatever it is called).

--

Incidentally im having trouble also, I installed mr1 and the cab,but gpstest stays on "aquiring gps fix" and htc tool or google maps never lock on any satellites.. i have location on and com4 set.. anything else to it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
i did that and it seemed to worked, my phone launched it, loaded then asked me to restart the phone so i picked yes then it reset....soo....now what, how do i know if it worked?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
no dont extract anything.. the cab file should just run and automatically install when you click on it from the fone. thats the point of the cab file.. to automate the install process.

people dont typically use cab files as archival files anymore they use .zip any time you see a cab file for your phone its likely an automated installer. Your use of the word zip to describe cab files adds to the confusion for this reason.. as seen in above posts.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
sorry for the double post.. download google maps...

also make sure you have location on set, and com 4 under external gps.. as in the wiki tutorial.

and dont edit to reply it screws up the whole historical record of the thing
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
my apoligies,,,i just didnt want ot double post, second hand nature now to edit reply and not to Dpost...enough bonks upside the head...

so to download google maps...

do i search for it on my phone and download that way...or do i download it on my compand sd card it over to my phone?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
probably easiest way is to go to google.com on your phone, and click more in the corner and find maps. it will suggest to install the google maps application.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
holy hell it works... :D

ok so to recap my actions...incase anyone needs an update...

1. i downloaded the CAB file found on page 12 post 11 of this thread

2. i backup my files using program found here http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm (incase u dont have outlook like me)

3. then i followed the instructions found with the ROM: Verizon Wireless MR1 (3.57.605.1) software to successfully update the phone

4. the i followed instructions 2-4 on the stock rom tutorial...

so now i have google maps working on my phone...sweet...when i clicked menu and chose GPS nothing happened?

top right corner reads 59 KB. initializing GPS...then sends me to a page saying no gps found
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
im not sure what you mean by stock rom tutorial.. if you mean this:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix then it should be detected as long as program port is set to com4 and location on is set.

Did you let customizations run on your phone or cancel them
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
Check your settings:

1. Start>Settings>Phone>Services> then make sure Location Settings is highlighted. Then click get settings. Make sure Location On is picked.

GPS Settings

1. Start>Settings>System>External GPS> then set com port to 4 in under program tab. then click on Acess tab and make sure Managed GPS is checked.

The go out side and test it with google maps or Live Search
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
ok.....did what was said above me...

still no go

new problem....can't dial out...I can receive calls and txt....butcant call out....

how did I mess up?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
yes i used the Verizon MR1 GPS Instructions one

like i said i cant dial out now:(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
Try dialing *228 and hitting 1 to reprogram.

As for no gps.. in my case the cab didnt work right away either and I ended up having to reflash mr1.. (i thought it was cause i didnt let customizations run) after letting customizations run on mr1 and running the cab, google maps was able to find the gps (although no satellites detect yet, im waiting to go on a drive) but atleast gps was found and spitting info out.

You can try downloading "htc gps tool" so you can get a better idea of whats going on on the gps level.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
I had a similar problem before here is the post of what i had to do:

What I had to do was reflash with the MR1 rom update again and start over. It appears I had screwed up the GPS Server cab install from here. Though Google Maps and Live worked flawless, no 3rd party GPS apps would work including VZ Navigator. So after reading all of the post here, it was clear that it was something I did wrong when trying to install the original files then trying to install the latest cab to make 3rd party work. I could not uninstall the cab or delete the files to start over. Even though I did not want to, I reflashed the MR1 rom update, then

1st started the VZ Navigator,

2nd installed the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab here on page 12 post 113, installed and ran Google Maps, Google Navigator, Live Search, TomTom6.

All worked without a problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
so ur saying i have to do the rom update again and have the phone hard reset :confused:

so should back up my contact list again...cuz that all i have in my phone so far...

so after rom update, i assume i have to call out to *228 to program my phone

i need a step my step break down on this...:( all i want is a working gps and youtube vids...

ill start first by backing up my messages and my contact list...ill wait for ur reply
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
yes backup contacts, pictures and any other data files you want to keep before flashing.

If you reflash, lt go through the 2nd phase of the flash after it completes the flash and restarts. Then *228 to complete programming. Once you establish that you can go online and make phone calls, do the step above. should work with no problems.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
any chance u have AIM :o
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
check out Slick on Lonely Cat Games, it connects to aim, yahoo, msn, icq, google talk, and jabber at the same time. http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
i already have agilemobile...i wanted ot know if anyone have AIM so we could chat thru there and not flood this thread with my noobnesss:o

i redid the update i also dialed *228 said phone programed successfully and still no go cant dial out..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
first of all much love to Geebox for the help and not minding my noobness

Verizon

so after much failure i tried calling out and got the ''' sorry we cannot authenticate ur phone at this time please call #8899 "

so thru the advice of Geebox i backed up my files neccessary to myself (contact and messaged)

and reinstalled the update MR1 and successfully loaded

i dialed *228 to try to program, programing went smoothly but after soft reset still no dial out...

so i called verizon and they told me there was some kind of a mess up wiht my authintication key...

i asked how this is possible and they said sometimes the phone gets hot and it just happens....i dunno how that works

so they gave walked me thruthe process of getting my set up once again...the customer service rep will guide u i do suggest to have a piece of paper and pen or NOTEPAD active on ur desktop because the code is a 27 something number and each one has to be correct and each key is different hence why i dont post mine...

so after you go thru the process of authenticating itll reset and after it loads check to see if u can call out and search web...if both are good then u fine

this is the process i went thru

when u first open internet explorer ur prompt to start.vzw.com

there select and run VZN navi

accept privacy terms

after the installment go to start>programs and click the nz navigator

itll ask u to enable location and do it

next do the start>settings>phone>services tab location settings>get settings>location on

run navigator again

ull get THERE WAS A PROBLEM INITIALIZING GPS. PLEASE EXIT AND RESTART VZ NAVIGATOR

close it and start it again

accept policy, then permission to locate, and just click the done dont change anything.itll prompt u to another window with 6 choices, click the navigation.now ur gonna have 4 choices. home, plan trip, work, and destination, use destination to try to get directions and itll promp that there an error...thats a good thing its what u want, close it

now u want to load the cab file (foudn on page 12 post#113) and save in ur device

itll ask to restart...do so

now u get to download a gps google is good live search as Geebox showed me is better...

and thats is how i got mine to work thanks so much guys :D

for live search go to mobile.live.com on ur phone

click the search button

and click the DOWNLOAD INTERACTIVE MAPS and thats live search SAVE TO UR DEVICE
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] auto3251:
I've tried those keys and it does not work, data network still turns on (i restart after the key change of course):confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I'm confused....why would you even bother applying aGPS if you didn't want it to begin with?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gugfr01:
VZN Authorization

Googlemaps and Live Search working great! Thank you.

I installed VZN and getting the following message when selecting Where Am I?

Getting "Service Authorization Error: Please call *611 to verify that you are provisioned to use VZ Navigator [30]

I copied oemgpsOne.dll and stdgps.dll to the windows dir. Anyway to get around this?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
You can't get around that, unless you have a subscription with verizon for VZ Navigator.

The step above was just to make sure VZ navigator initialized first.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
yup...after closing thats when i loaded the CAB file
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lukedaemon:
ditto: Google maps and Live Search working great!

cab install was flawless. GPS locks on quickly. I didn't really need gps but I want it because the phone is suppose to be able to do it. VZ Nav is one thing I never plan to use.

Thanks for the hard work guys.

Peace

Verizion MR1 ROM, I bought it in March2008?

How could I find out if I have a Verizion MR1 ROM, I bought it in March2008?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
START>SYSTEM tab>DEVICE INFORMATION

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elisherer:
OK... something's not right. I either missed a step or messed things up.

Last week I updated using the VZW updater, to Windows Mobile 6.1. I have not done any other ROM updates (cooked or otherwise) since I got the phone (which incidentally was also last week, as a replacement for the busted charging pin I had)

I pulled the "Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab" and then installed it right into my XV6800. I installed on the data card, if that makes a difference.

I get nothing! No GPS in GoogleMaps or LiveSearch... nothing.

Did I really miss a step? Can I "undo" and start over?

Help!!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
if i remmeber correctly...u have to install into ur device not the storage card
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elisherer:
Before I mess things up more, can anyone confirm that? Do I need to install on the device and not the storage card?

Also... if that's true... How do I delete? I know there's something here about a list of files that need to be manually deleted. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I'm a bit new to mucking about in these little things.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yes, it needs to be installed to device as the files need to install to \Windows. There is no \Windows on your storage card.

On your storage card there should be a directory called 'Windows' created. Rename gpsapi.dll to gpsapix.dll, stdgps.dll to stdgpsx.dll, and oemGpsone.dll to oemGpsonex.dll, then uninstall as you normally would through Remove Programs.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elisherer:
Oh boy... so I tried first to uninstall and something might have, but now I don't see the files you are talking about on the Storage Card Windows. The folder is there, but those files aren't inside.

Still, when I go to Remove Programs, Valhala is still listed...

Shall I just try to reinstall to the Main Device?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ceber:
I thought I did everything correctly

but nothing on livesearch or google. Installed the gps gate program and it can't find the gps anywhere either? phone is otherwise working and has wm 6.1 on it, seems like everything else from the update worked?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] whopper68:
the way i did it was i removed my sd card and deleted anything dealing with the GPS

then a did the update all over...that hard resets ur phone, just make sure u back up ur neccessary files

after the reset update and reset was done i tried again with Geebox's help...and blamo worked

P.S. i dont know what the risk are to doing it my way...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kaylesworth:
Thank You!!! Downloaded and installed and everything works great!!! Got a fix on Live Search in seconds.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ceber:
I tried to reload the Cab again

just to make sure I did correctly on the device, etc. Now says that it is unsucsessful at the end?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elisherer:
OK... I kinda DON'T want to blank my device... I've already deleted the Windows directory files on the card (that was easy) and renamed them on the XV6800. But the Remove Programs still won't remove...

Can I just reinstall on the device? Or am I at risk for killing everything???

Argh!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rampagez99:
I wanted to disable agps on my phone also.. I was under the impression that mr1 locks down all gps, and the adapter patch is the only way that any kind of gps will work without flashing a dcd rom. Is that not the case? Can I get gps on mr1 w/o the adapter?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
First let me say all credit goes to Skywing and GC14 for is fix. It works.

Even though it works, some of us have done something wrong during the install process. Your problem sound similar to the one I had were I installed and renamed the files as outlined in the original post. It did not work for me. Then I tried to delete them and install the later cab. It still didn't work. It was obvious that is was something I had Done as the post in these threads indicate that it works without problems. So this is what I did and suggest you do this step if you can not get it to work. Unfortunately this will require you to re flash with the MR1 ROM update.:

The best way to get the GPS fix working for any GPS software

after MR1 update is to:

1. Set your GPS location on.

Start>Settings>Phone>Services Get Settings of location setting. Turn LOCATION ON

2. Check External GPS settings

Start>Settings>System> click on External GPS set program port to Com4. In the Access setting make sure the Manage GPS is checked.

3. Start the VZ Navigator, and run it until it initializes with Verizons's settings. Put in a destination address and try to get the route. You will get a error if your do not have a subscription to VZ Navigator with Verizon. That's ok. We just want the initialization process. Close VZ Navigator.

4.Install the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=424387&page=12

page 12 post 113,

Copy the Valhalla cab to your Device or Storage Card and run it from there. Allow it to install on your Device(Main Storage).

Do a soft reset

5. Installed and run Google Maps or Live Search, and test it. You may have to go outside. You should be up and running now.

Then give Skywing & GC14 a thank you for their hard work on this working fix.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] aguas:
does aGPS even use a data connection? i always assumed it just needed a cellular connection, because all its doing is triangulating. it shouldnt need data anyway.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elisherer:
So here's the good news... I did NOT have to do a hard reset!

I don't really know what I reinstalled, but I went back into the Windows folder on the DEVICE (not the storage card, since there was nothing there) and renamed the files as noted.

I had installed VZNav, so I UNINSTALLED it to try and clear everything GPS off the device.

Then I just installed the CAB to the device and Shazaam! I have GPS in GoogleMaps and Live Search and who knows what else!

Wicked Cool and thanks to Skywing, GC14 and everyone else who commented and helped me out!

The best part about having a device you can "play" with, is having the support to play with it right!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shadyj7:
can someone tell me will mr1 pick up sat better than a cooked rom.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bjbernie:
Windows Live Search now w/ VOICE RECOGNITION!!

I have read this forum over and over and finally convinced myself to take the leap w/ my XV6800. I got the MR1 update from Verizon's website, and used the cab file that was created by gc14 and the walkthrough posted by vzw to unlock my GPS. All was a huge success and I downloaded both google maps and wls. I soon realized that now WLS has a new version with a beta release of voice recognition software. It works like a charm for me, and attached below is a link to get the new version.

http://livesearchmobile.com/

I did come accross one problem that I cannot figure out. WM6.1 is advertised to have a re-vamped home screen interface. Anyone have this problem with their XV6800?

Uninstall Problem.

I installed the cab fine from the Wiki page. Google maps would not connect.

I messed up the order and tried to install the cab again, I got an unsuccesfull remove error.

Now when I try to manually change the files I need to remove in the windows directory they are not listed.

Any thoughts?

HELP! TIA!

Is there any modification of the cab that would allow tomtom to connect without GPSgate, It works fine with the gps gate and on the internat gps it shows the satellites and coordinates jumping around then it stops. Any ideas???

Thanks and a few variations/typos . . .

Successfully installed on XV6800 with MR1

On my Windows Mobile Pro 6.1 the locations of the setup screens are slightly different than what is posted at:

The differences are in CAPS/BOLD/ITALICS/UNDERLINED.

1. Navigate to Start -> Settings, and click on Phone in the

tab. Click on the Services tab at the bottom. Highlight Location Setting and click Get Settings. Ensure that LOCATION ON is selected. (Fig. 1)

2. Navigate to Start -> Settings,

Silly question....

OK... so I am kind of a newbie on adding things to my phone.

So now that I have added the Valhalla GPS to my xv6800, I have a strange question: Is this "Really" GPS? Or are we using cell phone towers to determine location?

I ask because when I was driving through a notorious "dead zone" near my home, I noticed that the GPS would not lock up.

Can someone tell me for sure?

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
It's using both GPS and aGPS (assisted GPS). It connects to Verizon's PDE server which assists in lock times while still using satellites.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ceber:
status thus far

followed all the steps, when I activate nz, it tells me not authorized, THEN

GPS gate says I have something on com 4, if I don't activate NZ first, it sees nothing. None the less, still no google or live search. GPS gate set something up for TomTom, still not been able to get that to work either?

Any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Alright, I'm really glad a solution exists for MR1 GPS, but there's something that's just been making me wonder for a while now...

Can I ask why so many of you are choosing MR1 over a custom rom? I'm not putting you down or anything, and it's your phone your choice, but I really am just curious.

I see no benefit for using MR1 over a custom rom. RAM is worse, drivers are dated, radio is worse, GPS works...but only with GPSID and TTN 7 is sketchy, ROM is bloated and eats a lot of storage space, among other things. The ONLY reason I could see a benefit to someone using MR1 is if they HAD to use VZNavigator for navigation. That's seriously the only thing I can think of though.

Sorry, it's just been bugging me for a while now, I just had to ask...
