GPS not working, need to bring back to factory settings - Atrix 4G General

I'm gonna try to take the phone back to att and hope they can replace my phone... So I wanted to know if anyone has steps or instructions on how to unroot, lock back the phone and put a adb push a stock ROM.
I'm running neutrino which is a cm week 5 ROM...
I'm posting from my phone which is kind of hard to arch around.
I appreciate the help guys!

Before you send it back, have you tried any other ROMS or even better try blur ROMS to see if your phone or the neutrino is the issue?

So the darkside blur ROM didn't work. Hmmmm. I'd say give the totally stock ROM wet dream a try and see if that works but other than that look at the ATRIX stickies for all the info about stock stuff there.

Ok, I'll try that tomorrow or this weekend as i'm off.
but I figured (and hope) it fails to work in stock ATT factory settings like how it came to me on day one, so ATT will replace it.
if my phone just doesn't like working the gps with roms, that'll really suck.
I did look at the sticky, but didn't see anything about locking it back and unrooting

CM7 broke my GPS. I figured out though if you download GPS Status in the Android market and go to tools than Magellan GPS state it will lock on your coordinates. Than just open the GPS program of your choice. Hope it works for you.

Go to tools and megallan gps? I dont see anything like that in gps status settings.
It doesnt work with the 2 roms that I tried. If it does its very poor.
So any suggestions on reverting back to bone stock?

CM7 GPS

I can't get it to work, no matter what. I've tried the MSL fix, etc etc. The closes fix I get is about 7~10 blocks away.
Why is it that it won't work in CM7, but works PERFECTLY out of the box in Salvage-Mod?
Try the app "GPS Status and Toolbox" from the market. That got GPS working for me.

Have you tried the nightly that came out after cm7 final? Downloading gps status and clearing gps data might help.

Nightly tonight should have it fixed, I think. I think they're implementing the gps drivers from the dump yesterday.

The open source drivers provided by Qualcomm don't work.
The proprietary drivers were used in CM6, too.
I did the MSL fix to get my GPS working, but ever since then the "active" icon shows in the status bar even when I stop using navigation or maps. I actually think the gps stays active because I experience severe battery drain. Even when I disable the gps the icon stays active. I have to manually reboot for it to finally go away. Grr.
enter the ##gpsclrx# your phone reboots, while still in sense lock your GPS using navigation once it locks on reboot recovery and flash cm7. That's what I was told and it works 100% of the time for me.

Add me onto the msl trick too, gps works fine for me on cm7, I also flashed the latest nightly.

Get "GPS Status & toolbolx" from market and either way go to tools, manage a-gps, hit reset, this will make the icon disappear and it will clear the gps data and get a better lock.

Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4118513# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup

___________________________________________
just curious, what do you mean by a complete lock (more notably it taking a few minutes)? i've never had a gps lock take longer than a few seconds while i'm outside. it might be off by a few blocks, but it always locks really quickly (it was really bad while i was in LA last week).
it should also be noted that i have an incredible, not an evo...but after my gps issues last week while on vacation in california (and using my phone a lot for navigation) i've begun the search for a solution, because i really love CM7 otherwise. while in downtown LA i was consistently getting a "lock" that was a few blocks away from where i was, making navigation useless. it also happened a few times on the 60 freeway on the way into the city, where the phone thought i had gotten off the freeway and would start telling me to turn all over the place even though i was still driving along at 70mph on the freeway...
I saw a few people posting this in the cm7 thread. Looks like it's working great for them on the EVO too.

OP updated with a method to root stock EH06.
I updated today and am generally pleased. It is fast, no lag, some improvements in appearance.
Sadly, the keyboard is still an issue. It misses letters like before.
The biggest miss is the "Logs" on the Talk screen. It remains unconsolidated, unlike a true Gingerbread device. My son's Nexus consolidates the Log to one entry per contact, then you click them to see the activity. With this, if you trade 20 texts with someone, you get 20 lines of the same person. It was utterly ridiculous in a beta version and to still have it in 2.3.x is just inexcusable.
Aside from that though, all is smooth. Used Odin to root with CWM, flashed SU, and life is better.
UPDATE: GPS will not lock. When it does and it loses it, it won't come back. Also, there is no "back" function on the stock browser. Hitting the previous screen key closes the browser.
I've tried this on windows xp and my epic got bricked i can get into download mode, but the only pc that recognizes my epic is the same that bricked it, really don't know what to do, i can't odin it to stock rom or any rom, i'm kinda desperate, can anyone help me please? thanks a lot!

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

New user here, I'd just like to say Hi. I'm usually on the Moto Droid forums. Just got my Nexus S 4g today and I LOVE it.
Rooted running CM7 Nightlies.
I just had a few questions
I understand this phone cant do 720p. Is there a hack that can?
Does RenderFX help battery life? if so, which setting?
What are some roms/kernels you suggest?
Also, ill be working on some Themes for the Nexus S, (I'm a theme designer).
I usually make themes that make the phone look like another phone (iPhone, x10, Atrix 4G)
I'd also like to thank XDA for providing such an active user-base.
Think of a theme and ill try to make it, Thanks
Best battery life rom I found was oxygen. I thought I was going crazy because the battery life was so good. Its great plus you can download voodoo and it has netarchy kernel. Plus its aosp more than stock. Miui is most beautiful theme rich rom but battery life sucks. Cm7 was OK for me just kind of buggy. So I stuck with oxygen. Oh and nope...no camera hacks yet. No HD video or zoom. Sorry.
Hope this helps

For my TASTE, I like decks 1.3d since I had the least amount of issues with, none really. The kernel I have had the best luck with is Matr1x 6.0 cfs. I like the fact that it has voodoo if needed, bln and bld now. Since I updated to 6.0 I have had no lockups or reboots period. I don't change the speed or volting just the govenor (sp). They are smooth together. But for what its worth phones might not like the same thing as another.
I have tried just about every rom on xda for the ns4g.
Decks
Miui
Ice and fire
Stock rooted
Oyxgen

But I don't want to try cm7 as to battery life when I get well over 12hrs of use daily and no nightlys cause it seems like something is always broke. No offense to either or anyone, just what I prefer.

GPS and Gingerbread

I'm currently on my third Epic and thought I finally got one that wouldn't give me issues (The first kept locking up, the second didn't have a working proximity sensor) but the third turned out to have some crazy GPS issues.
GPS would randomly turn off and say it was trying to connect and stay that way. Even in crystal clear skys when not moving, the GPS would just not work. Sometimes it would work only to lose connection a few minutes later.
I took it into the Sprint store and the only thing they could do for me was just flash the phone back to 2.2.
Is this purely the Gingerbread update not working (when it comes to GPS) or have other people experienced no problems with GPS on stock gingerbread?
Basically I'm debating whether I should call customer service and complain until I get a new one, try the gingerbread update again and hope it works this time, or root and hope the GPS works as well.
Any help is well appreciated.

The GPS is very wonky on the ei22 update... I would root and flash a different rom. All of the roms have the gps fix... if you would like to stay stock there is a gps fix floating around somewhere that you can flash over stock rooted ei22

No need if you have root permissions go into es file manager ( if you have it if not get it) go into your favorites and open the / or the phone icon go to the system file then find the vendor file then go to the bin file and hold the gpsd file there and go into its properties and check this:

That is not his problem. Stock EI22 has the half ass library files resulting in lock ups and very few locks. He needs to flash a custom ROM or just deodexed stock and the GPS fix containing the good library files.

That is not his problem. Stock EI22 has the half ass library files resulting in lock ups and very few locks. He needs to flash a custom ROM or just deodexed stock and the GPS fix containing the good library files.

Awe thought I was all smart providing such an elaborate explanation and solution. See what I did there using them fancy words the way I did?

As no one was linking you to the fix there you go. And if I remember correctly I ran this on stock odexed rom just fine for a while. No need to get a deodex rom just get clockwork mod and flash it.

I think that was the one I used but since I have it saved with a different filename I figured I'd upload mine as it definitely worked on a stock EI22.
