Missing FM Radio + GSen crashing on boot

Hi friends,
I purchased an unlocked version of GSM Touch Diamond from newegg.com while I was in US. I realised later that I could not find any FM radio in it. How do I know if its just hidden (though that would be absurd) or not present at all ? How can I get it, if it can be done (and I would assume a rom update) ?
Secondly, I installed the latest version of GSen, got it to be run at startup and when I rebooted my phone, it said that GSen would not start bcos of some damn error. I had to uninstall. Any ideas how I can get around this ?
My rom version is 1.93
Thanks,
Kunal

In order to 'unlock'the FM radio you need to replace your ROM with a cooked ROM that has it built in. There is no way to enable it without doing so. Also GSen is an old program and I never had much luck with it. I would recommend Gyrator2 as it is a much more stable and gives more options for customization. Hope it helps!! Both of these answers could be found in the xda forums with just a little bit of searching...

I was able to get the FM Radio without replacing my original ROM by downloading the radio cab file from this post -

This could probably help others like me.

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

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

Is there a cab file to activate GPS?

Hi,
I have done multiple searches on several sites and have "struck out". I have an unbranded HTC 6800 (small carrier with no tech dept.) and was hoping there might be a cab file that will unlock the internal GPS antenna without risking a flash to a branded carrier ROM. There are quite a few carrier specific updates/ROMs that will unlock the internal antenna, but I would like to unlock the internal antenna without "becoming" a Verizon or Sprint customer.
Thanks!
BTW, Fantastic site. I don't post much but have learned "tons" from the community!

I would to know too

Please list your rom and radio versions. setting-system-device info.
If your radio is gps compatible then you might be able to try gps registry and qpst changes.

If you have a stock rom you might be able to try Skywing's Valhalla Legends GPS cab or something like that. It's what I run on my stock Verzion XV6800 and it works like a charm. Good luck!

Try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387&page=12
Hope that helps!

vx 6900 gps ?
i have a verizon 3.37 radio with nsffans 6.5 rom v7 . what do i need to do to get gps to work with google maps ? please help .

If you are really using a 6900 try looking in the vogue side of the forum or here.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

Thanks for the link! I have just read through 30+ of the 62 pages and it appears that this is only for verizon and WM 6.1? Will this work with a non-Verzion Titan with WM 6.0 and a non-GPS radio?
Thanks again!

I dont understand what you are asking or talking about in reading 30 pages. I don't see that I gave you any links. Please give me more info on your current and past setup. Or please ask your question again.

drew,
I was referencing this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...424387&page=12 above (post #5). As I mentioned above, I'm with a very small carrier and there is no offical upgrade "path" to WM 6.1 (and no downgrade option) and no "carrier cab". I have been reluctant to upgrade to a custom, or "other" carriers ROM.
Probably unrealistic on my part, I was just hoping that there was a recent develoment that might allow me to use the internal GPS antenna without an upgrade.
Thank you for responding!

You cant have gps with an upgrade to 6.1 on the mogul. So till you find out how with your carrier you can't do gps.

drew,
Thank you for the clarification. I greatly appreciate the response!

Need help for GPS activation -Vogue with Telus (CANADA)

Hello XDA Community
I would need help to configure properly my GPS. I'm running my VOGUE with Win Mobile 6.1 (ROM version 3.07.661.1) With Radio ver 3.41.00. I'm located in Quebec, Canada and use TELUS as my service provider.
I tried to configure it with GOOGLE MAPS, i tried using different port with no success.
Can someone would be able to help me ? thanks

It could be that is locked by the carrier's rom. My advice would be to unlock, install a custom rom, and enjoy the GPS

That's definitely not the cause. I could use my GPS before i unlocked and flashed a custom ROM. I used it with google maps back then.
Just make sure that you have activated the location feature on your phone.
Go outside, turn on google maps and select "use GPS". It will take a while before you get a lock the 1st time.
What i did find tough is that i got faster GPS lock after i switched my radio and flashed a custom ROM...
It is definitely worth it since it makes the vogue perform much better in every aspect.
Look at the sticky tread in the vogue windows mobile section to learn how to do this.

What is your PRI version? I suggest you upgrade it if your GPS doesn't work.

[Q] Need someone to clarify some things.

OK i have the Touch P3050 from Telus. Ive been reading all over that the GPS is locked with the original ROM, i have been playing around with it for a while and installed TOM TOM 7 and the gps is working fine. I updated the rom also from the update from HTC website witch gets it to WM6.1. Also wondering if this what opens the gps. Also i have updated the radio to 3.42.50 could this also be why the gps is open.
The second part to this is after testing this out i have installed NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM. My question is that before installing this rom the phone connection says its EV on the top line and after installing this rom it says 3G. Can someone clarify this for my as to why this is and how come it wasn't before.

First question: Yup, any radio upgrade over 3.xx.xx will unlock the GPS.
Second question: EVdO is, afaik, 3G. It is just a matter of the icon

Thanks for the reply. Kinda answered my questions, but the radios were allways 3.xx.xx so it must be because of the higher radio, and what does afaik mean?

afaik = as far as I know
If you were always above 3.xx.xx, your GPS wa always unlocked. Maybe you didn't have the correct settings one.
