[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] doctor-cool:
would you sent me a copy of the cab it has been removed from many sites

Never mind I got it
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SLeepdepD:
For the benefit of others, can you please post where you got it from?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
what do you need? GPSServer.cab for MR1 and 2 ? or aGPS.cab for custom rom?

or MR2 itself?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] notchipper:
I need gpsserver.cab for MR1. Where can I get it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] clshores:
Are there any cosmetic or other changes in the MR2 ROM? I hate doing upgrades, there always seems to be some hiccup.

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
works on both MR1 and MR2 Roms...

Here is a working link..

http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab

I am also going to attach the file.. its very small..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
BTW the full name of the cab is:

"Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab" aka GPSServer.cab

Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab

give credit to the guy that made it .. if you read post #1 you don't need

to do any of that .. just run this cab and it does everything for you!!

remember its only for MR1 and MR2 Roms.. my also work on clean WM6.1
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] medic901:
where to install it?

I have downloaded the .cab file and have a clean copy of it. i copied the file to my docs on my xv6800 w/ mr1 and installed the .cab file. it installed completely and reset my device but then I could not get google maps version 2.3.0.9 to access my gps. i have the gps set to be managed by windows. anyone have any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or not doing? thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
don't forget ... all the setting needed under

"Start/settings/system/External GPS" ... com4 / 4800 ... (none) etc..

also under "Start/settings/Phone/Service/location setting" .. (ON)

BTW you also have data service right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jpeterson:
I want to thank everyone who worked on this. I just bought the xv6800 and was disappointed that the GPS was disabled.

I installed the cab and it works great.

This forum saved my phone.

thanks all.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] notchipper:
Works like a charm. Thanks much. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bubba1960:
A question for clarity

When installed does this .cab file allow the GPS to act autonomously or will it still depend on an aGPS data signal to acquire ?

I have been able to get a lock easily, but through agps - I have never been able to acquire with the data connection closed is this normal ?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Yes this fix only works with data on. NO standalone gps with MR1 verizon update.

Need help With GPS on VZW XV6800/ Mogul?

I have a xv6800 with stock rom 3.57.xx and radio 3.37.xx.

I have IGO 8 install on my phone and cannot get it to locate my current position. When I go to GPS setting it says connected to COM: 4 and the satellite status has one flashing green bar, but when I hit the button to locate me it keeps taking me to some city in L.A. while I stay in Michigan.

I also installed the GPSfix.cab

It is very frustrating and I tried soft resetting and other stuff but cannot not get this thing to locate me on the map.

I have Franson GPSGATE and it gives me all types of satellites but still goes to L.A.

Please help me out with some steps I need to take in order for the gps on the xv6800 to work properly. Thx.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JC_8880:
Duh - need data service?

Dumb question - I just bought an XV6800 on ebay but I don't want the data service - I already have broadband at home, and I spend most of my time at home or at my desk at work, where WiFi should be enough to sync to my Exchange account and so on. Are you guys saying that the GPSServer.zip fix will only turn on my GPS under MR1/WM6.1 (stock firmware/radio) if I have Verizon data service turned on? I thought that the GPS receiver reads GPS satelites, not cell towers...I was going to try to find some kind of GPS software that would work with maps downloaded to a big MicroSD card, not by pulling maps through the Verizon data channel...

Is it a lost cause, should I just forget about the GPS features unless i want to pay the extra $40 a month? I already have a Garmin Etrex but I can stop using that in the car if this will work instead and just use it for the Topo features and altimeter and so on when I off-road or hiking.

Also, the damn GPSserver/GPSTest files are hard to find, all the links are broken...is there an official site that hosts them now?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] XvmfgX:
maybe I didn't read all the the post, but will this work with my xv6900?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
This fix is for agps which requires a data connection. If you want gps without data then you have to flash a custom rom for it to work since Verizon blocked it.

Valhalla Legends GPSServer

If you're new to the scene wondering where the heck you can find the GPSServer.cab that isn't around anymore you can find it here.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NDIIEOM7

follow the instructions but its simple. download zip file and extract it, then transfer the "Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab" to your device, make sure all your settings are correct:

(The following instructions are copied from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix , which has manual instructions for custom roms, but using the cab file is absolute easiest thing and took me literally 2 mins, and I'm new to this)

*************************

Instructions:

1. Navigate to Start -> Settings, and click on Phone in the Personal tab. Click on the Services tab at the bottom. Highlight Location Setting and click Get Settings. Ensure that LOCATION ON is selected. (Fig. 1)

http://www.cinconet.org/screenshots/gpswiki/fig12.jpg

3. Install Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab and soft reset. (If you have installed a previous version of the GPSServer cab, make sure you uninstall it first and soft reset prior to installing this cab)

4. Congratulations, you now have working GPS/aGPS on Verizon Wireless MR1 with both 3rd party applications* & VZNavigator.

*************************

at the time of this posting the pictures and files at cinconet.org are down but just read the instructions (easy) and you'll be fine.

Hope this helps those looking for the cab file.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dano2:
Thanks for providing a working download link. Can you also provide one for the uninstaller too?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dsramesh:
I tried the above with MR2 and the GPS did not work. It was working fine with MR1. So, I downgraded back to MR1.

What is the key difference / new features with MR2?

Is there new Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab that works with both MR1 and MR2?

Thanks!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] remarq:
WOW

This was way too easy. :D Not being techie and even having a clue what was being talked about in reading the first 40 some odd pages, I get to the last page and follow the simple instructions and in less than 5 minutes I have working GPS on my 6800. I do NOT want to take away any thing from all of the efforts put forth by several people to make having the GPS active. Thank you all for your efforts, it is VERY much appreciated. I used the link provided by mentorkyrom in post 475 (even though I absolutely HATE Mega-anything and wish they would go away forever) I followed his instructions and literally in less than 5 minutes time from download had my gps active with 8 sats chiming in. If you are a total NEWB like me I had to figure out to take the extracted zip file and transfer it into my WM folder in my documents with the phone synced, opened the file with file explorer on the phone and poof.

A very big THANKS AGAIN to all who made this happen.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
I don't think anyone has GPS working on MR2. So just stay away from it. Verizon did something to lock it out again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] phreakinNOOB:
I need someone to hold my hand through this stuff...

I'm not a phone hobbyist AT ALL, just so you know that I'm retarded when it comes to this stuff (and why I picked my user name).

I followed the instructions above (#475), and despite the install going off with out a hitch, Google Maps doesn't seem to be able to be receiving any position info.

All my settings are as they should be, both in the OS (COM:4; None, 4800baud, check box for Windows to manage), Phone (Location ON), Google Maps ("Managed by Windows"). In Google Maps, all I get is the "Seeking GPS satellites(0)" message until I get the message from Google stating they aren't getting any gps info, etc...

Yes, I'm outside, clear sky. (I actually work with Trimble GPS Units professionally, so I'm some what familiar with GPS behavior.)

My guess why this isn't working for me is that I don't have the right ROM version or something, but I can't be sure because the instructions above didn't state any requirements.

SPECS:

I have a Verizon XV6800, with unlimited data plan.

Here's what's in my "About":

Windows Mobile 6 Professional

CE OS 4.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)

Here's what's in "Device Information":

ROM version: 2.09.605.8

ROM date: 08/03/07

Radio version: 1.30.60

Protocol version: ACAAAAM-4070

Hardware version: 0003

PRL version: 51056

PRI version: 1.35_002

If I need to upgrade the ROM, please provide a link that explains how (remember, I'm a retard). I've played with rom flashing on computers, but not on mobile devices. As it's my only phone, I try to stay away from messing it up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] remarq:
Im not certain, but I believe that you need to flash your rom and upgrade to WM 6.1 to be able to use this. I believe it was written for the 6.1 version only. Hope this helps,

Rod
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Yes you need to update to the MR1 upgrade if you want gps and a stock Verizon rom. Do not got to MR2.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dat1:
Downgrading MR2 Update?

So if I downgrade back to the MR1 update stock rom from Verizon Wireless, I will be able to use the gps even though I don't have a data plan. I do have the QPST settings in the phone from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanGpsFix plus I am using IG0 8.:confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
You can not get standalone gps working with a Verizon rom. Sorry you have to go custom if you want gps without a data plan. I don't think those are setting will work for standalone gps anyways.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dat1:
Custom Rom?

First question I have, since I did upgrade to the MR2 stock rom did I screw up my chances to upgrade to a custom rom based on radio info, etc. Also Is it a very difficult task to upgrade to a custom rom? If not do you know the steps? THX!!

Hello everyone. Long time lurker (since 9/08) and noob to all this stuff. It takes at least a couple of reading to understand 50% of what is being said, anyway;

THANK YOU for the "Valhalla Legends GPSServer " downloaded this 2 days ago. Checked it out yesterday and it works beautifully on Google maps and not at all on Microsoft Live Search.

FYI I did this with the "MR2" on my 6800.

By the way, reading this forum and Howards and ppcgeeks was what helped me decide on a phone and have been very happy with my 6800 on Verizon.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TheBigBentley:
So maybe Im just misunderstanding everything. I apologise in advance but Ive read through nearly every page and numerous other ones looking for my answer.

Basically all I want to know is if anyone has gotten TomTom to work on the VX6900 with the official stock rom 3.37.78. I don't want to flash my radio for GPS and would prefer all stock roms in the mean time.

If anyone has it working please post how you got it to, with all setting...

Help Upgrading Verizon Titan Rom for GPS

Not to be redundant but I have Verizon Wireless and I am about to downgrade back to the 2.09 Stock Rom.

But I am a bit nervous about upgrading to a new GPS Rom according to http://www.pdamag.com/rom-install-instructions/ since I have Verizon and he upgrading a Sprint rom. http://www.pdamag.com/roms/

He said he does not have support for Verizon and I do not want to brick my phone. Is there a latest kitchen gps enabled rom that has very few to no bugs and very compatible with Verizon? If so can you post the link to it. Again I have a Titan/ xv6800 with no data plan. TNX
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Did you mean xv6800 because you are posting in the Titan forum. Yes TomTom works on the XV6800. Not by me because I use garmin but other have it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TheBigBentley:
from my understanding the 6800 and 6900 workarounds to get GPS working on VZW is the same.

Please help. I own a Verizon XV6900. Today I downloaded and installed the WM6.1 update from this website. http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=95&cid=1&mid=302&carrier=Verizon Wireless.

After that I downloaded and installed the Valhalla Cab file and restarted my phone. I have applied the recommend settings in #475 also. I have also downloaded the Odyssey Mobile GPS and that did not work.

When I went to open up Opera Mobile it was all out of whack and I couldn't read the font. On the laptop I downloaded Opera Mobile 8.65 and reinstalled and now it works fine. After that I downloaded and installed Google Maps.

Says no gps receiver was found...... I don't know what to do next.

Thanks to all of you out there that build cabinet files and program but unfortuneatly I have no idea how to do that..... and now I don't know what to do.

Stand-alone GPS

Actually, it depends on what you mean by "stand-alone" GPS. If you're trying to use something free that dynamically downloads maps (like Google Maps), you're out of luck without a data plan. However, if you don't mind spending some cash to purchase GPS mapping software such as Garmin XT, you're good to go.

I'm currently running an XV6800 with the stock MR2 Verizon ROM. I'm also too cheap to get a data plan, although I'm still trying to get my boss to buy off on it.

Obviously, I have the Valhalla Lengends GPS patch installed. I also purchased a copy of Garmin XT (no external GPS receiver). I used PHM RegEdit to set the GPS Server mode to 0 to prevent it from trying to call out on a data connection for aGPS.

It works fantastically. It locks into the satellite signal within 1 minute 99% of the time. The only warnings or caveats I would share are:

1. This phone is based on Windows. That means occasionally it won't lock into satellites at all. Fixing this requires a standard Windows reboot to get things working again.

2. Apparently, the phone cannot handle both GPS and a phone call at the same time. If you make or receive a phone call while the mapping software is running, it will continue to run, but your position will not update until you've finished the call. Starting the software while on a phone call may cause you to have to reboot the phone to get the GPS to work at all (see item #1 above).

GPS stopped working yesterday

XV6800, MR1 upgrade, VZ Nav installed, Valhalla GPS Server installed, was working fine for about a month, and then all of the sudden, last nite, unable to get a GPS fix.

I did a hard-reset, upgraded again, MR1, VZ Nav, Valhalla, etc, still, unable to get a GPS fix.

I have a data plan, haven't paid for VZ Nav of course.

3 phones with no GPS

I upgraded my xv6800 to wm6.1 MR1 about a month ago. I folllowed the steps and my GPS worked. So I upgraded my friends' phones and it worked after I was done. But today I checked my phone and no GPS.

Google maps is coming up with "seeking GPS satellites (0)..." and then it goes to "Your GPS receiver is having trouble tracking GPS satellites." Also amAze GPS is showing a red satellite and never goes to green.

I thought it could be my phone so I checked the other two identical phones and the same symptoms. :confused: I have tried resetting all three but still no GPS. All three phones are on Verizon with the same plans. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

We have both reflashed several times and checked the setting so many times. I guess we just have to wait and see if it starts working again.
