Flash the rom onto your device again.
is it something that happens sometomis to lost their gps after installing vanilla?
there is no reg tweaks or so to start the gps?
is there something i should do before re-flashing to have a bigger chance of getting the gps back to work?

I hope someone can help me in this issue, I've been looking for a solution and searching the threads for 3 days.
My problem is the GPS is not working even in the official 1.56 ROM, I was previously using Dutty 3.3 ROM.
I've recently bought the HD and I downloaded Dutty 3.3 ROM immediately without even trying the GPS so I don't know if it was working before or not. Then I reverted back to the official 1.56.
I tried "GPS test", "Google maps", "IGO8" and "HTC GPS tool" all of them can find the GPS reciever unit but no one of them can find any statellite
Radios:
in Dutty's ROM radio 1.14.25.24
in the current official ROM 1.13.25.24
And I'm using HSPL 1.56.OliNex
Any help will be very much apperciated
- update quick gps data
- go somewhere that u can see sky clearly
- run GPS program
- first time that u use GPS may take a longer time to find statellites
i use Dutty 3.3 ROM too only first time that GPS program may use a very long time to find statellite

Hello polppol,
Thanks for your reply, but I already tried that, I waited like more than 15 mins in an open area but with no joy..
have u try to re flash radio rom?
maybe try the old one that work for you
the worst thing is that I never tried the GPS before upgrading to the 1.56 ROMs
I'm thinking of downgrading to 1.14 ROMs, however I didn't see anyone else experiencing the same issue so I don't know what's wrong in my device..
maybe you have to with official ROM that came with ur device and try you GPS if it still not work so maybe you have something wrong in ur device
good luck
I have to go now

hi, i also use dutty's 3.3 ROM, i had to wait almost 30 minutes before it detected a first few satellites, after that it went well. Also, please note that it didn't go all smooth for me from first try to get a lock. I tried to do that like 5 times, and at the end it worked. So, be patient, try for 30 minutes, if it doesn't work, try again for next 30 minutes... repeat so a few times. If that won't work, install some other ROM (or ROM version). Just BEFORE testing, MAKE SURE your GPS is detected by your phone and working properly. After that, start to get a lock with your preferred GPS software gl
hey everyone, i'm wondering here if i have broken my gps its on but when i go into google maps there no satellite in the notification bar showing that the gps is work any help please, edit odd i've been messing around with the 2.1 mods out but if i try to go back to 1.5 the gps stops work hmmm odd any idea's??
Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue. I installed several 2.1 roms, the last one ,the HeroDroid01-signed rom was causing several problems with my Wi-Fi and G-sensor. I restored my Nandroid backup and now I can't get any gps fix within co-pilot google maps, compass etc. I hope installing the orignal RUU rom wil solve this issue.
Cheers,
Stijn
Edit: I have reinstalled the original RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe file and the problem has been solved. It seems the Nandroid backup is causing this issue
Same here, no GPS after 2.1 roms!
At this time not even 1.5 roms detect the GPS anymore!
What the hell happened?
had the same problem. i just reflashed the radio and gps seems to be working again.

Apologies for another GPS thread but i have tried all suggestions in popular threads using methods such as faster fix and GPS status's A-GPS tools and the method posted in "GPS CM7 fix".
Im currently running CM 7.02 (Stable) and radio 26.08.04.07_M3, which i was told had great overall performance including GPS. Ive tried using different ROM's and different radios but had no luck in finding a secure GPS lock. Recently i have been unable to even find even a single satellite using GPS test or GPS Status.
Before rooting and flashing new ROM's i used to get a fairly consistent GPS lock but even returning to the default HTC Sense ROM now does not return the GPS to working order. I also used to get a lock when i first flashed CM but since flashing various radios and ROM's ive been unable to get GPS working properly and I think this is partly to blame.
Ive done a fresh wipe and wiped dalvik cache but this has also not helped. Any suggestions or full methods on how to restore GPS would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you've tried every suggestion and tried the radio / Kernel recommended for your ROM by the ROM Creator then you may have to consider it being a hardware fault.
Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers App.
Im hoping this isn't the case but perhaps you be may right. The only reason im hopeful of a software fix is that i have had sporadic cases of GPS working using different ROM's in the past and theres no sign of external or damage to the phone in any other way.
Would there be a way to test it if a hardware fault was the cause of the problems?
It won't be hardware issue I have the same problem, there is a file you can fladlsh that fixes it but I cannot find it
Im hoping thats the case, also does anyone have any experience with RIL's that work with CM7? im not sure if they may help with the problem as it does seem as if there could be a problem lying between the radio and the ROM.
Is this file you mentioned anything to do with RIL's or is it a GPS log file flash or something along those lines?
I'm sure it was a .lib file, from the android revolution or leedroid thread agggges ago ill have q.look if I can find it
ok thanks, im assuming this could work with CM7 aswell then?
Yeh its the only way I could get GPS working on cm7, now I can't find it I have no GPS lol so I need it aswell
Ha, well let me know if you manage to find it. Do you know why this happens on CM7 and why not many people seem to know about it?
I think its something to do with drivers, some.peoples chips are different and the normal drivers aren't fully implemented
think i found it, just about to give it a whirl

Ok then, so im guessing i just adb push the first file (gps.spade.so) and as im in Europe (UK) i flash the EU_GPS_HD.zip in recovery as a zip file?
yeh, just follow the instructions and it should work
Seems to have improved things, got 3 satellites in view but still no lock, il leave it to search for a while. Thanks
Try going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache I got instant lock
Yep this seems to have worked, still abit inconsistent with the locks but i get about 5/6 satellites but not too accurate (60ft range). Can anyone recommend a Radio to work with CM 7.02 for GPS. Im on Orange UK if this alters things. Currently using 26.04.02.17_M2 but im sure there will be a more reliable one out there. Thanks.
I have arco68's nFinityGB v1.05 installed on my phone. Recovery is ClockWorkMod.
So how can I recover my GPS? I can turn it on, with the App "GPS Status" I have a working compass, but it fails at downloading some GPS data. Google Maps failed at locating my current location.
With the search function I found some tips telling me I should flash SP-FroYo v2.2 AOSP, then flash some 1.6 ROM and so on..
I've tried this, but it failed with my current Recovery (ClockWorkMod).
So is there another way to recover my GPS, which is less complicated?
If not, can somebody give me detailed instructions how to do this?
Thanks in Advance
simply flash a 2.2 leave the gps on and flash nFinityGB is enough.
same here too
I've got CM7 and when I try to loacte myself, GPS is on..., then no icon is displayed at the top...

I will try, if I find a rom, which is compatible to ClockWorkMod.
But I remember, that I even had problems with GPS on 2.2..
Is that a software problem? If yes, which file can we reset/delete/recover to get gps working again?
If it is a hardware problem, is there an app, which can recover gps? I mean.. there must be some code, that CAN recover gps, because we have to flash 2.2 (or 1.6) to get gps working..

try this...if it does not leaving it on with this.The only thing I can think of is to install the stock rom whit goldcard.But it usually works.
luck.
okay.. i've installed that rom you showed me and flashed back nfinityGB.
Now in Google Maps I can see a gps icon blinking on my statusbar, but it can't find my position. That's the only improvement after this.
in GPS Status nothing changes..
What can I do now? Any tips?
download of the market gpstatus and verifies that the satellites from which these...better if it's on the street or on a window.
What do you mean? I have GPS Status from market installed, but can't read out something with satellites.
It want to download some A-GPS-Data from WiFi and I can use compass, acceleration, magnetic field and aptitude (something like R01 R03).
It seems that it want to download something in the bottom, but can't. There is this circle, which stands for loading..
gps status shows your location in coordinates...Of course you should stop that locates the satellites is not instant.we recommend it for is a way to verify that the gps works, but if it leaves the icon in the notification bar is that it works you just have to be patient and wait for it to locate satellites.
Hi All,
Indeed I've been struggling to fix my GPS which is one of the thing I can't travel without and I am too much dependent on it. I tried several below methods to make it work in anyways possible but its failing every time and I have almost given up. I have no idea what could be the problem which is not letting GPS triangulate my current position. Basically the problem is while I start the GPS (Maps) the phone is able to detect the location but while I start driving, it stucks saying (Searching for GPS) all the time! I really need some help here.
Tried all these following methods to fix this issue:
* Rooted phone with CF Auto Root believing that it might solve. And no luck here.
* Flashed E500H with custom firmware through Odin [And it didn't work]
* Installed GPS Status & Toolbox to re-calibrate the compass [That also didn't work. I tried with a cracked version too and still no luck]
Is there anything that I am missing out here? Please help if anything can be done here.
Thanks a lot in advance!!

I had same problem in CM 13 Galaxy E5 Cutom Rom. I was not able to fix it.
But it works in my stock ROM
I finally got a solution
This post worked for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/fix-google-maps-crazy-mm-cm-13-oem-fix-t3384447.
Hope this helps
If you run Stock Rom. Then the GPS is already OK.
If you install CM12. Then also GPS works.
If you install CM13 which is the best ROM till date as far as I have seen, then GPS doesn't work well. For that Install an application from Fake GPS location. And go to Developer Options and Allow Mock Locations. Then Run the app and locate your position manually and enable the faking. So now you can run the apps which needs location. But problem is it doesn't change as you move. You have to change it manually. So your problem persists. But I think some of your problems will get solved by this.
If you install Lineage 14 which is developed recently, GPS works fine. Indeed I am running Lineage 14 though its not as fast and smooth as CM13, but I love it.
So , best solution for you is install Lineage 14 .
