GPS stopped working after CID unlock

hi
I have a SPV M700 on orange(uk). My gps worked fine without any problems, however today after unlocking the CID so that i could try some roms the gps no longer works. in Tomtom i get messages gps device not found.
I've tried searching in the forums here but cannot find an answer.
Has anyone else had similar problem or know of a solution ?
Thanks

Have you flashed a different radio rom?
What version of the radio do you have now?
Some older radio roms don't support he GPS receiver.

Hi,
I had the same problem. I was given the link below and updated my ROM, this solved the GPS but TomTom kept sticking. I did a bit of digging on this site and found another ROM, which is essentially the original Orange ROM. I have installed this ROM now and am having no problems.

Recommended ROM. (Orange)

I hope this helps.

Further to my reply....
Your phone memory will be wiped when you install the new ROM. So back up any data/files/settings that you want to keep. Your Memory card won't be affected so save everything to that.

Thanks for the quick replies but im a bit confused here .....the rapidshare link is that for the ROM that makes TomTom stick ?
And from the Recommended ROM's, which one is actually the original Oranger 1's ?
Thanks
I hope this helps.

Managed to get it working.
Used the Mozzer Rom for the link given and then swiftly upgraded to the Big Black WM6 rom.
All working fine as far as i can see.
Need to get out the office to test gps properly, but at least it's picking up the gps device.
Thanks again for the help

I had the same problem, I tried several ROMs without any fix, GPS looks desabled.
Then i had one idea, flash the original ROM from HTC, the one that enables the GPS and Voilá it works, then i loaded the ROM i like and keep working.
Hope it helps,

Information please
You downloaded the original HTC ROM with GPS working, but can you tell us the exact site with this ROM... I look but I did`n get it...it would be very helpfully for us.... Thanks a lot.

The link is given in one of the posts above

Problem receiving calls on my Wizard

Hey guys.
I'm a newbie to this forum so I took my time before actually opening this topic and read through most of the stuff around here, also tried searching to see if anyone had the same question as me but couldn't find anything, so, here it goes.
I just recently got a T-Mobile MDA (the wizard) and I seem to be having problems with receiving phone calls. If the phone goes idle for long enough the calls just don't go through, but, if I call someone then for a period of time they do come in just as normal. Is this a known problem to the device? Has anyone else had this same issue?
I've tried contacting both T-Mobile and HTC but neither was of any help yet. The phone is running on WM6, with a ROM that I can't really tell which is (it's the one that loads with a BOOM! written on the startup screen, maybe that helps?).
The phone has been master reseted and the problem goes on, sim card changed, all the stuff. My question is:
Anyone know if this could be a problem related to the ROM of the WM6 i'm running? Or anyone just have a clue of what could be the problem or ways to fix it?
I was going to go through an upgrade / change of ROM but thought would be best to ask first and see if it's necessary so I don't take unecessary risks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

what is your radio rom?
2.19 seems to be most stable with wm6's.

The Radio version I have is a 2.25.11 (shown on device information)
ROM Version 11.0.0.0 if that means anything.
Edit:
Copying from the Wizard Service Tool:
=> Firmware:
OS: 5.2.xxx (Build 18521.0.7.0)
ROM: 2.18
Registry AKU: .0.7.0
Radio: 02.25.11
Protocol: 4.1.13.12
=>Extended_ROM:
Version: TNT Series by its right
Name: Extended_ROM
Status: hidden
Edit --------
So okay, one last question: My phone is upgraded to WM6, that means it's already unlocked and everything, correct? I dont need to do the unlocking said here in step 3.6 right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613

I'm sorry for this bump.
I just finished upgrading the phone to a TNT 6.1 "It's right" ROM, that Professional TouchFlo one, and yet, the problem seems to continue.
I'm guessing that I'm really SOL on this one and that it's a phone hardware issue then? And also, guessing that HTC wouldnt help me since it's moded?
Should I try to downgrade to the T-Mobile original software and maybe hope that it works better there?
If anyone has any input or advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

i think you should try another radio rom first.
despite i never tried 02.25.11

Question:
How do I change my radio rom? Is it just updating with another rom of WM6? Like trying another different or do I need to do something specific?

I know it's not supposed to be advertising or suggesting a specific rom here in the forum but I really have no idea what could be a stable one that I could give a try.
In the replies a 2.19 is mentioned but I tried searching the forum and didn't find an answer, could someone give me a hand please?
Thanks again and sorry for all the inconvinience.

I agree with this 100%.Worked for me

Can anyone point me in the direction of a 2.19?
Thanks again.

searching is a good skill to possess.....you should try it, you'll like it.
http://rs48.rapidshare.com/files/16304986/T-Mobile_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip

Sorry about the truoble. I did try searching all over the place on this issue and only came up short on most. Got a lot of responses but it seemed like none was very decisive or without a good explanation.
But thanks for the help, really appreciated. I'll search on instalation for this rom and hopefully it'll help me out.

same problem here.....with TNT 6.1 and radio 2.25.11
If I install the 2.19 radio only as joemanb suggests, will it reset all my programs and setting back to factory? in other words, do I loose everything as if I'm doing a ROM update?

had the same problem, i dont remember what radio rom i had, some1 suggested to changed to 71, didnt work, and then in a thread that was very similar to this one, a guy suggested to the creator to use 2.19.11, who then was very thankful because it worked. gave it a try, and now im looking for that thread to say thanks and report that the problem is long gone!
So yes, try 2.19.11, i downloaded it from the very first post of the radio upgrade thread, the one thats says for europe. And no, you wont lose everything, its only a RADIO rom change, things related to the phone settings not the PDA.

Yeah, quick update / bump.
Just wanted to say a big thank you, I indeed used the 2.19 as recommended and it worked to perfection. No more missed calls and surprisingly, my reception actually got a lot better so I'm now a very happy customer. It also diminished by a lot the problem I had with ending short calls or stopping it before going through.
Thanks a lot you guys, it really helped me out a lot, sorry for any inconvinience / pita I may have caused.

Happy to hear that!
This issue should be mentioned in some sticky, im guessing we are not the only ppl with this problem..

unlock GPS for Verzion xv6800 with stock Rom or with the MR1 rom.

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!

Read the last couple of pages
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387

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

[Question] How to test GPS hardware...

Hi all,
suddenly my GPS is not working anymore. Can enable GPS and it says it is ok. But when i want use Google Maps, or navigation program the icon in taskbar is not there anymore.
Did try GPS Status, nothing....
Did a fresh rom install and wipe everything i can wipe.. nothing not working.
now i want to know is there a tool or adb option to test the hardware if this is still working.... (maybe GPS is broken)
Thanks

Did a RADIO rom flash with the one i already had on my HTC... and problem solved....
Still wondering how it can happen that maybe the radio rom was getting crazy...

had the same problem two days ago, same solution... same no idea for the cause

this kind of strange things was my idea only for windows... suddenly it is not working anymore.. But.. Solve this problem was mutch easier haha

This seems to happen whenever you flash a 2.1 ROM. Even going back to 1.5 doesn't fix the problem and a new radio flash is required.
Regards,
Dave

Test program
Try GPSTest from market.

Every now and then manufacturers like HTC will release an update to radio which controls your wifi, data, blutooth. If your current radio is having problems, you will need to update it. Most of the time new radio is included with the update but you can Google individual files as well, hope this explains

GPS doesn't start...Help!

Please...
I'm goin' crazy, gps on my diamond, doesn't work.
i've installed ttnavigator but the integrated gps doesn't catch any satellite. There is someone can helpe me?? can anybody tell me if there's an app. that can reset or restart the itegrated gps?? please help me!!!

\windows\xtra.bin
\windows\GPSLogFile.txt
\windows\GPSLogFileBack.txt
\temp\xtra.bin
an do not update the gps positions

thank u too much, i'll try it now. thanks!!

I've been finding I'm having problems this week using TTNavigator (when I didn't have problems before)... I'm wondering if something went wrong with my GPS Update?

I'm using Nav N Go iGO Amigo and Igo8, sorry but I do not know about TT. about once a mount I'm deleting these files, allso you can try to download HTC GPS Tool from http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=133&act=sd&cat=all
Actually I don't expect anything else from this phone since I have it for about 2 years, probably the system is already modified and the phone is to old for it.

there's a GPS fix on htc site for touch diamond.. it's the only thing that helped me after two weeks of searching... good luck...
