Internal GPS doesn't work with German ROM

I have a locked CID P3300, and today I could upgrade to wm6 using a great post in these forums, but when I installed TomTom6 and selected Internal GPS, TomTom indicates that no GPS was found, when I upgraded my device radio and ext rom couldn't be upgrade due upgrade restrictions, maybe this files doesn't upgrade are desabling my Internal GPS?
Thanks

Try to select in TomTom: the other NMEA GPS reciever.
At baudrate 4800 and on COM 4 TomTom is working great for me.

Ok I hope yours will work again after the WM5 downgrade! mine did not unfortunatly! but it can also be bad luck and my chip just did and it has nothing to do with upgrading..
If you need any rom please feel free to contact me..

I had some trouble with the rom also, GPS, WIFI..
I have a Dutch MDA III C originaly..
I got everything working by flashing is like so:
WM5 UK tmo -> WM6 O2 German. Stop at screen settings at first run of german rom -> Run WWE rom, complete install. -> Install Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi TO Internal storage, run Dutch WM6 rom..
Now got WIFI and GPS working..
Any other way of flashing get me stuck at boot or without GPS, WIFI or BT..
Camera works fine, speed is ok.. Seems faster then WM5.. But time will tell..
Thumbs up to the the maker of WWE and Dutch rom..

I have a MDA Compact III to, but the strange thing is that when I install the UK T-mobile rom and then try Tomtom it still does not detect a GPS device as it used to do! it always worked on the T-mobile rom and now all of a sudden it stopped working..

Downgrade finished right, now I have again wm5 and my TomTom works fine again, uffff !!!
I reviewed GPS Settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None) Baud rate: 4800
Yes Manage GPS automatically.
This weekend I will try again to upgrade to wm6, and I will use this settings to check if GPS works fine...
Device Info:
ROM Version: 1.12.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 9/12/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocl version: 4.1.13.28
ExtRom version: 1.12.412.101
I used HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP to do the downgrade

I have the same problem, my GPS doesn't work any more, with NO GPS app! I have a German HTC and flashed the German O2 image. Downgrading is kinda difficult, didn't work. Does anyone have a German WM5 Rom? I'd rather put the old one back on there until a working GPS enabled version is out.

Wierd, do you have the original Tomtom shiped with the HTC?? I have a install cd from t-mobile, works fine if I flash from art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship to German O2 to Dutch custom.. Any other way of flashing then wifi, BT and GPS don't work on my device..

Did you installed some GPS app such us GPS viewer, or a navigation program such us TomTom?, because in WM6 Dutch Rom by bepe you will find in system sheet an icon called External GPS, there try to use the settings that I wrote in last post, and then use some GPS program to verify if GPS works or not...
Good Luck

My GPS is working after a soft reset, I think I messed up something with the ports, I use GPS Gate. Now everything is ok!!!

I have upgraded my HTC P3300 CID-Locked to WM6 and GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth are all working nicely. I am using iGO GPS application as well as several others.

Please tell us, wich wm6 did you used?, when I upgraded my HTC-P3300, I used WM6 Rom by bepe, but since my HTC is CID-Locked I only could upgrade OS using a post in these forums which talk about that... btw this weekend I will try again to upgrade to wm6 and then I will use GPS settings that I post before, and this time I will install those CAB (rapi and other CAB file which appears in procedure)

Check out my blog post of upgrading to WM6.
Hope it will be usefull.

Where to get Radio 1.15 from?

Hi, I've been trying to get hold of a more recent version of the radio ROM for my Universal (Orange-branded SPV M5000), and since my network provider's ROM update doesn't patch up to the latest version I resorted to the links on these forums. However, all the links to version 1.15 of the Radio ROM on the xda-developers ftp server seem to be dead, and in fact just trying to connect to the server root using the links in the wiki brings up a "the server is unreachable" error. I don't know if the server is temporarily down or whether the admins of this site have been forced to take down all links to it.
I have, however, managed to download one of the cooked WM6 ROMs linked to from these forums but hosted on other ftp sites. The one I picked is the L26 WM6 Pro V7 Videocall 2 ROM, which, in its release notes, says that the radio ROM included is 1.15. My question is, can I take the radio_.nbf file from that ROM and flash my device with it, or is that a specifically-WM6 version of the radio ROM which won't work on my WM5 Universal unless I flash it to WM6?

SEARCH for DARKFORCE ROM under windows mobile 6. You should find it included in the package.
---

Is the version of the 1.15 radio ROM included in the Darkforce package any different than the version included in Laurentius26's package? They're both WM6 packages - my question was whether the radio ROMs included in the would work the same with WM5 (I don't want to upgrade the WM6 as I lots of people seem to be having stability problems with it from what I'm reading on here, and I don't need any of the extra functions in 6).
Also, the bug that Bluetooth switches itself off under the 1.15 radio ROM that some people have reported: does it occur under WM5 or just under WM6?

I am not familiar with what kind of RADIO version Leo's ROM contains. I tried his a long time ago, so I forgot. But DarkForce ROM was the first one to release on this site version 1.15.00. It was the source of every Radio version 1.15.00 that you see out here.
The BT problem is in the CE ROM. The Radio ROM has nothing to do with that.
I suggest you read on how to upgrade just the radio part before pursuing anything else. You might end up upgrading everything and that is EQUAL TO A HARD RESET.
BACKUP first is the RULE!!!!
---

Yep, thanks, so I take it that since his is the source it WILL work on WM5 as well? Don't worry, I already read the relevant page on the wiki about how to upgrade the radio without flashing the whole thing! I just wanted to make sure all these WM6 radio ROMS will work on WM5 before doing anything!

Yes it works under WM5. You can update just the radio rom without a hard reset. You will find a guide somewhere here in the forums or in the wiki. I would have to search myself.

WM6 ..What happen to the built in GPS?

After upgrading to WM6 for my trinity i notice i cannot access the built in GPS with my tomtom software...is that common? ..is there a way to make the gps active??

Uhm, reflash the ROM or the Radio ROM?

Check if it's been set at COM9
Radio ROM 1.50 of 1.46
Takes up to 3 min after a flash to find the sattelites and be outside.

Solved
How did you solve this problem ??
mircha

Had the same problem
I had the same problem with my trinity. After I upgraded it to the wm6.1 elegance I was unable to get the GPS working.
After upgrade of the Radio to Ver. 1.38.00.11 problem was solved and I had the GPS back again.
Hope this will help.

Alltel Touch Vogue

Hi,...New here,
I have made the leap into modifying my phone's software enough to download "RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.10.671.1_RS3.42.30_NV2.02_PRL30031_SHIP.exe" from Software.alltel.com. Was this update supposed to "unlock" my GPS? If not, does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Once I get that going, who knows, I might go crazy and utilized some of the fabulous ROMs you all are offering!
Thanks

Yes that rom update is the official Alltel wm 6.1/ GPS update. It also has a 30 day trial for Alltel nav.

dont forget to go to settings>phone>location settings and turn it to "on"
And if your feeling real adventurous go over to ppcgeeks and try shadow-techs "super fast lock on" AGPS fix. Then download google maps and click use gps and you should be good.
P.S ( AGPS fix not nessissary to make it work, just gives you faster locks)
Goodluck!

Thank you both for your advice! I didn't realize I had to turn it on under settings or that I received the new program (alltel navigator). I am on my way now! I haven't tried the fast lock update you mentioned, but I did install the unlocker so I can give some new looks a shot. Any recommendations for roms to try?

Has anyone had any luck with the official 6.1 ROM and getting the internal GPS to work with a 3rd party program (specifically iGO 8)???

thanks in advance for any help!

Mortplayer and TCPMP crash after loading WM 6.1 updates
I have just completed upgrading my OS to the latest 6.1 Pro and installed Conflippers Alltel ROM (Great ROM) however now mortplayer comes up freezes and then exits. Loaded TCPMP and it just crashes. I use NCH Pocket dictate and it had numerous errors on (Alltel) WM6.1 / LBS Update – Version 3.10.671.1 but after the Conflipper ROM, it works great. Is there an issue with WM6.1 and Mortplayer that anyone knows how to fix? Also, I did update Esmertec Jbed 20081203.2.1.cab that fixed the Java issues with the earlier version.

nfsfans rom
You should try out nfsfans roms here, imo
they are the best out there. They have all the new
touch flo features and are very stable.
He also does a very good job updating and supporting them.

nfsfan
+1 for NFSFAN's roms

Another vote for NFSFAN's rom. Only thing not working for me with alltel is mms.

hspl 1.93 olynex
radio 1.09.25.23
The only rom which is close to original rom is satus rom below but it has some annoying bugs which roms are like this but fewer bugs ?
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559928

problems not the ROM's, its more likely to be your Radio.
Install a newer Radio from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306

I tryed many roms with different radios but GPS is not working. I ve tested radios 1.09.25.23 and 1.11.25.01. Even with official rom and official hot fixes from htc,also with htc gps tool and cold start but nothing ...

Considering you did try everything concerning radio and rom, i get the feeling you might have a hardware failure. I've had some GPS problems on various devices but was always able to solve them with the HTC GPS tool.
When and how did your GPS stopped working?

when I bought it gps was not working It came with hspl 1.40 olinex unsigned, and wm6.5. I even tryed garmiin 4 and tom tom 6 without results

i've got the same hspl as you with a wm 6.5 rom on it and a rather old radio (1.13.25.24). No problems using GPS in Googlemaps and TTNavigator (7.916.9189)
Lemme know if you wanna try any of them, can upload them for you.

Have you downloaded QGPS data?
