leaked verizon rom /gps strange problem! - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flashed a VZ XV6900 Brand new out of box with the Verizon leaked rom
All the settings went like this...(Did not let customization run!)

After the flash I tried to use live maps....I already *228 (Option 1 & 2), setup phone location on, gps h/w port, program port , baud rate, etc. GPS in live did not work!
I then tried Valhalla GPS thing...Still nothing!
I did a clear storage which formats everything...(let custimizations run this time!) Did the *228, location, h/w port, program port, baud, etc...Tried live maps...nothing........Installed Valhalla....Nothing!!! Nothing Nothing!!
I was successful last week with this by figuring out my phone was on 911 only and gps locked instantly...that phone was cracked and broken and had to be sent back. I know this should work...but I am stumped! Please Help me!
********************************************************
Update!!!
For some reason it works!
It wasn't working at all...I didn't touch it & went to sleep...I woke up & the FRIGGIN' thing works great!
Thanks!

What exactly are you trying to figure out?

I am presuming you are trying to use GPS on your Touch (XV6900)? Do you have a live data connection? If you do not have a data connection, perhaps Verizon has data block on your phone, then aGPS (Valhall CAB) wont work.
By the way, the leaked ROM was from phonenews.com. This was an official Verizon ROM, therefore you dont have to worry about letting customizations run. I am runnig this exact ROM and works great so far. Verizon simply has not made it "official" as of yet. When they do finally put it out there for all of us XV6900 users you can find it on
http://www.pcdphones.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6900&sAct=0&carrierid=null&bID=95

This is not the official rom by far.....everyone has reported the gps does not work and the rom is incredibly sluggish

you are wrong whosdaman.
The ROM is perfectly working, with all the customization, and the GPS works perfectly in google maps or live maps after using the vallalha fix. Been using it since it was posted and just installed manilla2d to replace the cube and it works a treat.
Are you working for verizon?

yup just flashed the verizon unofficial 6.1 rom, so far seems stable and data is fast.
Opera works good also. I havent reinstalled all my apps yet to see if there are any problems there.
Installed vahalla gpsfix, google maps and livesearch get locks on 6-10 satellites in 3-5 seconds in my house!
Installed vznavigator from vzstart.
VZNavigator fails because it checks provisions and verizon hasnt enabled its use yet.

If you check ppcgeeks where everyone has been talking about it, no one on verizon could get it to work straight out of the box
Everyne has reported problems with it, and no I have Sprint....do you have verizon?

It works great , gps locks on google maps and live search in 10-15 seconds
and rom is very fast and stable , data is alot faster with Rev A.

hey UnlockMe what version of manilla2d did you install? I'm interested in installing. Also can it be uninstalled safely to go back to stock?

Well, I can confirm that with this ROM my device is in fact sluggish, and the GPS most certainly does NOT work out-of-the-box (maybe with the exception of VZNavigator), and I didn't have any luck with the Valhalla GPS deal.
I've since gone back to my custom ROM and still can't get GPS working - I suspect because once firmware is written you can't roll it back?

version 20 I think, whatever was the last stable version.
You can't uninstall it without a hard reset though, at least that's what the doc says, didn't try it.
After using manilla for a while now, I think the cube is much more efficient. Not as sleek as manilla, but I lost a lot in productivity by removing the cube and am considering going back.

Hey not sure if this is a question I can ask or not here but can someone point me in the right direction to get this rom. And will I need to re authenticate the phone after flashing?

Valhalla Cab
Can someone please post a copy of the Valhalla cab file. Thanks.
Edit: Nevermind, found one online.
P.S. I'm a little late on this update, but I was able to update my wifes XV6900 w/ the original leaked rom (with customizations) and enable GPS for use w/ GoogleMaps using the Valhalla fix.

Oh my god, this is great!!! I installed it and it works perfectly! No issues at all
However, I was not yet able to get gps signal but I guess it's just a matter of having the right conditions!
Only thing I have strange is that every time I exit a setting, I always go back to the phone (instead of the today screen). Any idea?

No .. you need to lose the bell rom in order to have gps .. no biggie really, nothing in bell rom that can't be replaced.. Bell will never give this to us.. they want us to buy navigation by the month.. Laugh when you pay your $7 data bill and enjoy using roms from other carriers with the gps...

No I don't think its possible especially after you upgrade the radio to the 3.XX. But just upgrading to WM 6.1 should be fine as I was able to go back to the stock ROM from Bell.

GOld_sprinter: Are you able to use the GPS ? were do you use it? In Montreal it does not find any GPSm should I change anything in my setting?
One more thing, do you have problems with your incoming calls? I am not able to take some calls with this ROM, even if I press on anser, it does not answer...
mletourneau, I live in Calgary and it works beautifully. I don't see why it would not work in Montreal it is based on Satellites, so you should get the same ones that I do. As for the phone call problems I have not experienced anything like that, the only issue I have is that sometimes I have to press the 'send' button twice when dialing out. I wish I could help you fix you problem but I don't have any clue where to start.
Maybe someone here can be of some assistance
Good luck buddy.
Going Back to hold radio... or rom
Hi, Any clue on how to go back to official Bell ROM?
GPS works FIne but since I am not with Sprint, I do not have access to Sprint TV or other software from Sprint Anyways...
Thanks in advance
-
go to www.ppcgeeks.com
download omj's custom bell rom
and that should solve your sprint tv etc. issue
Official bell update was released today. I'm a telus user so I have no input to give you on it but the telus update for some reason directs the telus users to the bell update WHICH doesnt work on our phone (duh)
Anyone who wants to try this and let us know if it has GPS that would be great.
download link here: http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=70&act=sd
Does the Bell update noted above enable reva or gps?? I saw that update awhile ago and never bothered because I figured it had neither.
Just to note, the rom is dated 03.19.08 in the link image.
Think I have to unlock and flash mighty soon
Carrier is Bell by the way.........
Yeah, I don't see anything about WM6.1 or anything else for this update for Bell. Looks like an old download and update to me personally.
The telus update page (when it did show the update rom information, its empty now) said it was Rev A, WM 6.1 and can only assume GPS since it included Telus navigator but that could be AGPS. That said.. because the link on the telus page downloaded the bell rom I sort of assumed that the bell one was the same. In fact I cant believe that Bell would be far behind with an update that would be the same as the telus one. I hope they release this soon. I dont want to put some cooked rom on my phone and void any warranty or anything
Warranty? lol. I never buy a phone on contract... I buy it right out. Do I get warranty..nope. And I have never needed it for anything electronic I own. And ya know what it has never done me wrong. All that money wasted if I did. If you do't know something is wrong with it in the first 30 days. something is wrong with you or how you treat your electronics. If my phone craps out I get a new one. Heck every year I buy a new one. Right now I have the HTC touch. It rocks. It runs smooth and I am using omj's custom bell rom. It runs faster smoother and generates less heat. Love it. Only flaw I don't have Musicstore on it... Bell offers it for the touch. And I loved it.
Your Phone is only as good as it's operator. My phone is my everything and I can do whatever I want on it. Just like a computer.
anyone tried to install the bell update on a telus touch?!?
I did the update ... everything seems to be working, phone, software, but I can't seem to connect to internet ?

VZW Leaked ROM

Hi all,
This was posted over at PPCGEEKS so I decided to bring it over here. This looks to be a leaked VZW ROM for the Vogue. Use at your own risk. If you have GPS running, and dont want to lose that functionality, do not let customizations to run.
ROM seems fast and stable. I am still working through all the pieces of it.

Doesn't look good at all. I advise not flashing to this ROM, it's not even complete!

I have had no issues with it. I did let customizations run the first time and that screwed my GPS use, but was able to recover from it. Now I am running it with my own nav software(iGo8), and all is seemingly well. I have even decompiled the ROM so I can add my own OEMs into the mix.
Steve
PS - big kudos to RSTOGUY for the decompiling tips!

What do you mean it isn't complete? Last time I checked the ROM has to be complete to be able to flash it. Mind explaining your comment?
great
I have been using OMJ for awhile and love it. Until i came across this. I have been using this rom since it came out and first it runs fast and is very stable. The battery life lets just say i have been running it for 45 hours so far and am at 30 percent. Don't know about you but i can go another day on this. I am a moderate usage kinda of person and also notice that in fringe areas it seems to not drain the battery as much because of the better reception. Also it is ok to let the customization to run but make sure to do the *228 dial option 1 reset and then option 2 reset. The best thing about it is i think most will agree is if customization runs don't worry even the most noob will not mess up there phone. So YIPPEEEE and you can do it.

It's like a car, as in it's "complete", so you can drive it, but it's missing the seats. Which is why I say that, so I suggest not flashing the official leaked ROM, but a modified version.

If you let customizations run then the GPS functionality is lost. It seems to be locked down, unless you have figured something else out?
Steve
Sorry for the delay
Yes there is a workaround with something called vahalla gps or something. Very easy to install turn location on then use google maps and bam bam thank you mam. Ok weird but hey it works and update for yall 50 hours into the rom and running at 40 percent battery . I love it like cheeseburger.

Yes I know Skywing and his fix for the Titan, which should work here, but I need COM port functionality and his fix does not address that. I am working with someone on PPCGEEKS to detail how to get the 1.37 PRI back on Vogue. Its a little bit different than Titan.
I am with you. The battery life seems to be amazingly better and the ROM seems to be operating a bit faster than the custom ROMs. Too early for me to put the check mark for it but so far so good.
Steve
I tryed it but couldn't get the GPS to work after letting customizations run. Even with the GPS Hack it wouldn't lock on with my Tom Tom 7. So I went back to my oiginal rom and now am back with OMJ's rom and happy to have my GPS back.
Great ROM
I ran the leaked rom & the Vahalla GPS .cab and have GPS locks
with Google maps and Live Search. Tested both on the road
yesterday and they both provide exact locations.
The rom is really stable & the data speed is a lot faster.
The radio is a great help with battery life & I get a better
signal in the fringe areas.
Love it , like having a new phone.
I’m happy for you guys who ever have good chance to run the Verizon ROM, but as you can see this is not from HTC site or even from Verizon (yet) its from Lab. Not mean that its fully function in some way if the GPS enabled right now that good, but I personal can’t believe Verizon will let it out for free because they have there own Navigation software. Anyway, I did run this ROM the first hour when it went out, and personal I did not like it! I had issue with freezing every time I boot my phone. And the GPS not even close to Bell Radio, with Bell I will be locked under 15 sic with at less 8 to 9 Satellites. Plus it’s not any faster than what ever out right now. Sorry to popup your bobble. But in the end its personal choice..
Sorry to hear that
I have had no problems with this rom whatsoever and i am still running this bad boy since i last replied. it has not died on me but now i see the red light of charge me please. But this is well over 70 hours now. Did you install the leak rom with the radio or with bell's radio. I guess some people will have problems and some won't Sad to say that is life and is expected . But like Steve i won't check mark it yet, but so far no freezes and basically everything is working the way it is suppose to. Maybe when they build a custom rom out of this which i believe they did over at ppcgeeks, then everything will work better for you as far as freezing.

Ditto with me. All of the above. However, the link to the valhalla cab file no longer works. I wonder if skywing was forced to take it off or something. Luckily for me I got it before it disappeared...........
I figured that might happen so after I ran the cab I sent the file
to my storage card in case I needed it again.
Good to see you over here at xda Dr. Rodger !
I ran the leaked rom & the Vahalla GPS .cab and have GPS locks
with Google maps. So far everything else seems to be working well. With enough searching I was able to find the Vahalla GPS and download it so if you need it keep searching.
I verified this through an inside person at Verizon and they said that this is their file so it's just a matter of time before this comes out on probably the HTC site. I installed it on mine, I have no customized ROMS or anything else, just as-is XV6900 and it works just fine. I did not let the customizations run however.
Where can I find the Vahalla GPS .cab? And is it really necessary to get the GPS to work with this ROM?
As far as I can tell you need it because within this ROM gps is deactivated. Do a search over at ppcgeek.com and you should find it. Some reported that the link was taken down but as of last night I was able to search and find a cab for it. I am sure there is some other work around but I don't know it and this cab did the trick for me.

[SOLVED] Tilt2 w/ Energy ROM can't Get GPS Fix

Hey, glad to join the TP2 party! Just dropped 500 bones on a Tilt 2 (100 after selling my buying/selling my 3GS) and loving it so far. First thing I did was load up the latest Energy ROM and the newest radio (forgot the exact numbers). Everything is very fast, except the GPS will not get a fix. I turned on assisted GPS on (tried off too) but that didn't help. Also ran QuickGPS
Any ideas?
EDIT: Under GPS Test, its stuck at GPS Starting up, then a blank error box pops up
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. Updated to the 10/19 Leo build and installed ATT AGPS settings cab and I'm able to get a cold fix in under a minute!
By Request: here is a link to the ATT aGPS settings cab: http://rapidshare.com/files/295321367/T-Back_ATT_aGPS_Fix_-_Try_2.cab
I have the same problem!! I thought that since I was just starting on the Tilt 2 (WinMo) scene after a while (coming from 3GS) that I may have been missing something.
But I can confirm that I cannot get a GPS fix at all! This applies to the entire ROM (not a particular program).

T-Mobile TP2 GPS Problems

I cannot connect to any GPS satellites using any program.
When using the HTC GPS Tool it shows that it can satellites everywhere it will just never fix on any of them.
I have tried several ROMS and this does not seem to be the problem.
It was working when on the OEM ROM and even on several other cooked ROMs I had tried. It stopped working when I switched from EnergyROM w/ 2.5 to the Official European 6.5 ROM. Since that ran so much smoother I thought it would be allright without GPS but now I am really missing this feature.
So i decided to go with a clean 6.5/2.1 ROM and chose the Timor ROM. This still didn't fix my problem. Now i went back to the last working ROM that had GPS and again no luck. So idk if this is a hardware or software problem.
ALSO i tried two different radios, both which had previously worked.
4.45.25.05 and 4.45.25.17
No luck with either.
I WANT MY GPS BACK!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Check out this thread, it seems to work on the Rhodium as well as the Fuze.

Really? wow... .77 is the radio that -- for me -- works best for GPS.

Sense 2.5 my location not working help neded

i have gave up on the location feature i have tried everything and it just seems that it just not working here in San Juan, Puerto Rico for some reason it use to work before but apparently not any more if any one know what else can i do let me know, things i have tried:
1. different radio
2. use task29 before flashing
3. go back to original shipped ROM and flash a custom rom without using task29
4. lot of registry hacks related to location settings
5. different agps settings
...... any other suggestions???
You are not alone with this problem, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6118508 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662178
So it seems to be a wider problem :-(
I wrote to HTC support 3 times in last 2 weeks about this problem, but till now no response from them. Maybe you should also send a question to HTC about this issue.
any one with a new solution?
I wrote to HTC support but without any reasonable answer or solution :-(. Maybe you should do the same and everybody who has such a problem. that should be a way to create some pressure on HTC.
Yeah I had this problem too... 3 things... Find the "QuickGPS" update... settings > location settings... htc location service (checked) and turned on, google location service turned on.
then if all else fails try this .cab from this thread on HTCPedia

This will usually get the weather working which is a sure sign GPS is working!

So I am not sure how to turn on google location service. So, I don't know if that is still causing me to not update location.
I did install your cab to main memory and soft reset the phone, but I had no luck.
I am running an Energy 23557 Sense 2.5 cookie home tab Apr 14 Rom. Please, please help. I have seen this my location work 1 time. I have absolutely no idea how it did and cannot get it to do it again, any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Update
I am a moron, I have been avoiding flashing a new radio, cause I am weird when it comes to things I haven't tried before, but now my location works.
I flashed the 4.49.25.57 radio for T-Mobile and now my location updates perfectly. Thanks to all that have put up posts on this site.
Below is the link for the page that shows all the newer radios. After much thought and listening to others who have flashed new radios. Everyone needs to do this. The stock radios SUCK.

Are you still running the original tmobile 6.1 ROM? I certainly understand if you are (I only recently stepped to 6.5 myself)...but the .57 radio is the one that comes standard on the tmo 6.5 upgrade, so most tmo users probably have it already. However, I've heard of the .57 giving the same improvements to Tilt2 and custom ROM users as well...so for any GSM users wanting to try other radios, that is proably the best one to start with.
Yes Sir

Yeah, check my sig. I am running a newer Energy ROM and it doesn't come with the radio we're talking about. But, yeah, this IS totally the best radio out there, hands down, if you are a T-Mo user at least.

Did you happen to notice any improvement in your GPS reception after you flashed the new radio? I'm suspecting that the reason the new radio cleared up the my location issue is because of better GPS performance.
once again yes sir

I noticed a dramatic improvement. I don't have the lag behind issue. Not that it was much when driving, but now it's basically non existant. My google maps, bing, trapster, weather radar, all of them find my gps signal 100 times faster than before. It's truly amazing to me how much difference a new radio makes.

I'm glad it's made such an improvement all around for you, that rocks!
You may have seen it already, but make sure you check out my thread about the cab I found to fine-tune GPS for tmo users. It sounds like you may have it dialed in ok already, but this is just one more way to help get optiumum results
I think I found the sollution for this problem.
1: Go to settings tab
2: Go to more
3 Go to connections
4: Click on connections
5: Click on excisting connections
6: click on edit
7: Click next
8: Delete the name of your portal (portalmmm or something like that, it ends with mmm, thats what i remembered)
9: click next
10: click finish.
Now just update your gps using quickgps, and if all is well, the gps should work again!
Goodluck!
