Hey folks!
I just bought a Trinity device couple weeks ago and after really looking throught these topics I yet didn't found a solution about my GPS.
My GPS is dead And I tried to do all what I found here and another internet forums but it doesn't work.
I checked my device and it already was in lastest HTC version, but for sure I update it again desesperately!
After testing it with some programs that work here ( Brazil! ): Destinator, Smart2go, Route66. It doesnt worked :/
So I thought... Maybe with WM6?
So I get this version: RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship
And after unlocking the CID and testing all the programs again... it YET didn't works!
For gods sake help me!
Maybe the steps above are very easy for some of you but this is my first PDA and Im kinda lost!
Well... thanks to everyone who read this and about the excellent manuals / programs you have here.
PS: Is there anyway to test if my GPS chips is working properly?
read people say that it's not the normal rom which
need to be upgraded for gps to work but the radiorom

I think this changes when you do the rom update. But post this info here could help you.
ROM version: 3.00.707.18
ROM date: 07/24/07
Radio version: 1.46.30.11
Protocol version: 32.79.7020.19H
Hey guys I found a program called: GPS Gate 2.0
He states me that my GPS is alive on COM9!
I will try to found the reason why the GPS programs aren't working and let you know. Problably it is directing to the wrong port.
Just for info,
GPS Gate worked fine and now I have GPS fully functional.
Thanks everybody
GPS symple curiosity
Tell us please how did you do it, I`m happy for you that you succede, but I`m new in town and i read everything and I`m also not lighty in this thing. Please help me to use my GPS thing. I still have WM 5.0, but I`m sure that must work, tell me how did you do it. Thanks a lot.
First of all I would like thank Skywing for writing this GPS Application
Gateway for the xv6800 phone with stock rom or upgraded MR1 rom..
This thread is to show my thanks and to help new ppl like myself
find this app easer.. It took me about haft a day searching two forums
just to find what I was looking for .. so I hope this will help other
new ppl find what they are looking for much easer ..
Again this application was written by “Skywing” and someone wrote
the easy install CAB for his app .. also like thank “gc14“ for writing
the tutorial ..
This Application aGPS aka GPS Server aka (Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab)
Will allow your 100% stock rom or MR1 rom on your xv6800 Phone
to access GPS signal via 3rd party application e.g. MS Live search, Google maps etc..
without the need to unlock the phone or do anything to the phone other than
simply loading the GPSServer.cab file ..
For step-by-step install info. go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
To download the CAB go to: http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab
Show your thanks to Skywing, go to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
I have personal testing this code on my xv6800 with stock ROM, then I
upgraded to the MR1 ROM from HTC for the xv6800 with WM 6.1 and
install the GPSServer.cab and it works perfect for both ROMs without
doing any unlocking or running anything else other then just the GPSServer.cab
BTW for anyone with the stock ROM running WM 6.0 and would like to
upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 .. you can download the MR1 ROM direly
from HTC
Again this is the, Verizon XV6800 ROM MR1
Release Date: 2008-08-23
go to: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=82&cat=2&dl_id=99
If this link does not work you may need to set your “country” first, (top right of the page “select country” set to “United States”
wow .. update: also found out that gc14 made the CAB file as well..
Thanks again gc14
gc14 post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2625473&postcount=113
Thanks! It works very good with Google Maps
Is your WIFI works with WM6.1? After I installed MR1, my WIFI is not working anymore. I hope you might be able to help me.
TIA
to all that created this thank you, works flawless on the stock mr2 rom
can't get it to work..
Hi all! I followed this method a while back and had Google maps working great for quite some time! This past weekend I tried to use it with GPS and it couldn't find any satellites. I figured it was maybe too much cloud cover or other interference related to my location. Anyhow, yesterday I updated my XV6800 to MR2, installed the latest Google maps (3.0.0.12) and still cannot get it to find any satellites. after playing with the COM ports and location setting (currently COM4 and Loc ON) without success I installed GPS Toggle, which also cannot find any satellites.
Anyone have any suggestions to get this working again? Does this even work with MR2? I'd be happy to go back to MR1, though MR2 seems to be a little smoother and faster.
Thanks!

thanks drewcam888. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know how I make out.
BTW, I was looking around my device and I found a different version of gpsapi.dll (hidden) in the Windows directory. I'm thinking this may be the problem. It won't let me modify it though, as it's a system file. I can view it using SKTools, but not modify it.
Can you recommend a file manager program that'll let me move / copy / replace system files?
Thanks!
You can't modify a rom file or one that is created by the rom itself. Or at least I don't know how
Hello,
I'm pretty new here and new to the XV6800. I have a rom version that I downloaded from htc site that under device info reads 3.57.605.1 I don't know what MR1 or MR2 is or is mine an MR3?? Also I have a Radio version of 3.37.75?? My question is can I install this to get GPS or AGPS working on my device? Do I have to install a different radio to get it working?
Thanks,
Chris

Read the thread for a while that drewcam8888 lists above "adapter program to ......" and then make sure you change the registry settings as it describes for Valhalla in the posts from the past couple of days. I believe I posted #627 which has the places to edit for Valhalla. Listen to what others say to make sure you have everything right.
mine failed around the same time but using a different set of cab files which had worked flawlessly on both previous installs of MR1 . Is this perhaps something from verizon?....Anyway having not installed from a wrar file before how do you install the valhalla cab when the redirects disconnect from the server?
I have a xv6800 and i got it last week, the person that i got it from updated the rom. a couple days ago i cleared the storage, which i guess is a hard reset, but i wanted to know if that resets my Rom
thanks
Tyve
resets to a fresh install of your current rom. It removes all none rom files.
so do i hav to re-hack the rom to use google maps?
i have no idea wut im doing,
thanks
Yes you do
dang, that sux. thanks a bunch
my ROM version is 3.57.605.2 does anyone know if that is hacked or not?
Not it is stock verizon MR2
ok, do u know an easy way to hack it, im only 14 and i suk at hacking it
Hi.
First of all sorry about posting this but i have already tried everything i found but with no success.
My p3600 doesn't want to work with gps on tomtom. I've tried different ROMS (6.1,6.5) and different tomtom versions but with no luck.
My gps configurations are correct and i've tried every single one of them. TOMTOM: com9 gps; internal; etc.. On settings too.
It says that has no gps device.
Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance
ps: This was my father phone and had always windows 5.0. With this software and tomtom 6 everything always worked just fine. I think that it should work too with this settings.
Thanks.. Solved with a new RADIO rom!
can post the link of this ROM pls, I have one S300+ and don't find the original rom with GPS ?
Best Regards,
Pedroleroi.
Hi.
I didn't install a original Rom but a radio rom. It's different. I think this is the one : /showthread.php?t=325197

Hi guys,
I 'm facing a very weird problem. I own a HTC HD2. I have installed Destinator 7. When the SIM card is not installed (or the SIM is physically installed but I don't provide the PIN) destinator works fine. When I enter the PIN for the SIM, so my phone connects to the mobile phone provider, Destinator software fails to start. The destinator's logo appears on the screen and HTC halts. Power-off button doesn't work and I had to press the hard reset (red pin at the back). I have ran many tests and the conclusion is always the same - Destinator halts when SIM is installed. Does anybody else had a similar behavior? Any ideas for further troubleshooting are welcome.
thanx.
I have both destinator 7 and igo8 on my hd2 and both work without any problems, do you have a branded hd2?
Hi Mathie,
thank you for your reply. My HTC is not branded or somehow locked (I hope). I 'm running the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL, O/S 5.2.21869, manila 2.5.19211619.0, RF 2.06.51.07. My service provider is Cosmote. I 'm not sure if this information helps, but I cannot think ANY reason why destinator hangs when the telephone SIM is installed.
Is there any possibility the GPS receiver to get a conflict with A-GPS ? I' d rather say no...
N-drive at the other hand, works fine, it's an excellent program, but I 'm get used to Destinator.

have you tried to put another sim card in your phone? wind, or vodafone? and see if the problem insists? have you tried to update quick gps? have you changed the com ports? (by default destinator 7 uses com port 4)
Hello again.
I have tried to perform the following tests.
1) I have replaced cosmote SIM with Vodafon one. I destinator has the same behavior.
2) I turned off RF radio (airplane mode). Destinator works fine but of course I cannot use HTC as a mobile phone.
3) I have formated the entire flash (CF) and create only the destinator directory. The problem persists.
4) I 'm not sure if quick GPS interacts with Destinator, but since you 've mentioned it I run quickGPS version 1.3 (built 1920.2423)
Destinator has been set up to use com4. If I don't register to a Mobile Provider (or RF is dissabled) the program runs fine, otherwise the startup logo fills 9 out of the 10 red arrows and stacks there.
thanks once more for your time.
where did you buy your phone? are you using a stock rom or a cooked one? I am using this rom here and all is well,no problems at all if the problem persists download the above rom and flash your phone with it. i'm sorry but some things get messed up if your rom is not well installed i can't help any more.
Hi again,
thanks for your answer. I 've checked the rom link you 've mentioned. I 'm already running ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL. I got the HTC from a recent offer of Vodafon. They sponsor a 450 Euros discount for the device, and HTC HD2 was in the list. I have not flashed the phone yet, since I already have the latest release. I 'll get a full backup and I 'll try to flash it, just to see if that will fix the problem. I 'll post my findings.
thanks.
Hello,
I have good news. I have re-installed the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL as you have suggested and Destinator 7 works FINE. I still cannot figure out what could of being wrong, with my original same version ROM, but when I re-flashed to the one downloaded from here http://www.htc.com/gr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=863 the problem is gone.
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions.

Try SDcard build r175 here
Remember you should run this build first time without SIM card.
r175 can enable GPS so it will run in WM and CM builds.
The r175 ROM, freezes and i can't use, but GPS it's alive on WM6.5.
Thank you very mutch.
It was any rom that i can use in HDMini, with no problem on GPS? I've tested Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users and cm-7.2.0-RC0-photonic with problems.
Best regards.
Thanks it helped !!!

After you 'revive' you GPS with r175 you can use schlund's NAND CM7.2 build with GPS working normally.
Just be sure you nave GPS on in WM when you start flashing CM7.2
hello,
I had to same problem before. To correct you must boot again under Android to swith the GPS on/off. After next reboot after in WM65, GPS will work again.

thanks for the solutions.

Hi all,
I am having big trouble ith my GPS.
On WM 6.5 I do not having GPS. It's enabled at the SD Android version r175-final.
I am using Tom Tom on my WM 6.5. It's just connecting to the GPS module I think but it's waiting for signal endlessly.
Anybody an idea?
I just made a hardreset. I just reinstalled Android to check if it GPS is enabled there....do idea left.
Thx ahead guys
Try to turn GPS OFF in R175 then start win and open Google Maps with "enable GPS" checked.
Enable HTC location and stuff in winmo and download satellites.
You have to be under clear sky when testing
Repeat with turning GPS ON in android. It should work.
HTH,
Hi ci6i,
thx for your help.
I tried your steps, but I din't receive any satellites in google maps.
Do you have a further idea? Or anybody else?
Thx ahead.
To get gps working in winmo, you need to enable gps in android or gps will not work in winmo!!!
Hope you read my first thread...I just tried this without any success.
Maybe you have to put GPS several times On/Off in r175 to get it work in WM. At least it has to be On in Android (test with GPS Status from Google Play).
well guys it's not working in android, too.
I just de-/activated several times, no success. I am a bit hpeless in the moment.
Did you have another Android release installed, a nand release for example?

Its 100 times confirmed... install winmo, than run android sd card version, not nand version! Than enable gps in sd version android, than reboot to winmo and your gps will work 100% (but you need to enable wifi and download satelites before use gps with an aplication). If "download satelite" working in winmo your gps for sure will work.
I not confirm with using r175, I used mine froyo version and every time it fixed my gps...
Well guys,
thx to all of you for your help
I just send my mini to reparing. The HTC guys found out that my GPS tool is damaged.
