[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] theoneownz:
Many people before myself have addressed this issue! Their has been post about how to fix verizon gps and many relies to "GPS NOT WORKING, ECT.." Regardless their are people that still have questions and very still unclear on how to resolve.

I've had this issue as well and fixed it many of times :) I have also been on the question side of things it sucks not knowing what going on... :( I figured I would attempt post the fix and answer as many questions regarding this issue as possible. Please feel free to pm me for missing info and or a better explanation of what is written. (I'm not perfect)

This Post is Geared to people who can NOT use GPS because of verizon "software disabling". If your not sure you can use gps please look below to

Side Notes

for testing.

If your gps works and you need guidance on how to flash a custom rom! Start From Step 3

Definition of GPS Types

Read The Entire Post Before Attempting

DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN

Install Instruction

Download Step1 Flash/Unlock with 0.40.coke (necessary for Step2)

Download Step2 **Load Unlocker & Flash Older ROM without GPS (This resolves Issue)

*Reset with pin-hole just before customization

Download Step3 Flash/Unlock with 2.31.coke (necessary for Step3)

Download Step4 **Load Unlocker & Flash Verizon Stock Rom (Strongly Recommended)

*Reset with pin-hole just before customization

Download Step5 **Load Unlocker & Flash Newest Radio Available (I recommend 3.42.3 or 3.42.5)

*Reset with pin-hole just before customization

6.1 or 6.5 Step6 **Load Unlocker & Flash at least 2x any custom rom (I Recommend NFSFAN's Rom)

*Allow Customization to Run Fully for Custom Rom's

*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use and Love tomtom/Garmin, nsfan always includes GPS viewer for testing)

Side Note

As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just

very important

not to Let the Customization Run. After Step4 or Step5 you can install the below Cab's to test if issue has been Resolved. If you need to use active sync during these steps make sure to Remove from Airplane Mode and or Un-check option under USB to PC (fast syncing) Also Step 1 & 3 Coke Un-locker's are not compatible to x64bit systems. There maybe a way to get around or another version of coke unlocker, its just unknown to me. If anyone here knows of a way PLEASE let me know!

Gps Testing Cab's

Download Verizon GPS setting Cab by NSFAN

Download GPS Viewer

** Coke Unlocker is Loaded By Holding down a combination of buttons. HOLD POWER, CAMERA BUTTON & PIN-HOLE Reset Simultaneously until you get "Rainbow Colored Screen"

Provisioning phone 1st time

Your phone needs to be authenticated(*228 Option 1)! There are many way to resolve this. Tech support can manually have you add an Akey(26? hexadecimal code). Online Activation VZW Site or I prefer this method,

Attempt to make a phone call. You will Receive a VZ Error with a 800 number to call. Call this number and Explain

"I Just installed my phone and its not authenticating to make phone call. Unfortunately I'm on the phone in question and do not have an alternate to contact you with. Can you please fix this?, I have a few important phone calls to make!"

After which they will place you on hold and may explain giving you "temp authentication". This is not true is permanent. Process Including Hold time Usually is resolved with 4-8min

Side Note

Thanks to -Digital Doug

After following the above instructions if your phone needs to be authenticated still and you speak

to verizon tech support! They will instruct you to dial ##778 to get your phone to open up a hidden configuration menu.

This doesn't work with NSFAN rom's. You need to dial ##778# instead. Its a small detail
