GPS Hacked on VZW Leaked ROM - Full ROM with normal GPS! Not a FIX but a ROM!

GPS Hacked on VZW Leaked ROM - Full ROM with normal GPS.
Ok, let me explain what this ROM is and what it may be useful for.
The ROM is the official "leaked" rom in this post without the GPS restrictions:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43741
What I did was remove the GPS restrictions and applied standard GPS drivers. This will let you freely use the OS if you already have GPS going. If not then you can apply any of the various methods of applying a GPS Radio and the Titan aGPS fix as well. Next apply this ROM and you have a STOCK VZW ROM without the locked down GPS!
Files here:
www.scottcrosler.com\vogue\
Select HACKED files not official files!!!
This does not flash a RADIO or BOOTLOADER, its just like any other Custom ROM except that its a stock ROM with NO MODIFICATIONS other than the GPS driver fix and I added UC AutoRUN for those inclined to use it.
LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN as thats needed for AutoRUN and it applies the VZW customizations to the start screen as well as opera 8.65 that is included on the ROM. IT DOES NOT APPLY THE PPST update that locks down the GPS!!!
If you have already applied the stock VZW ROM and let it "customize" your GPS then this ROM will not do anything for you!!!!!!!!!!! This is for those VZW users that dont want to deal with the GPS restrictions in the first place and have an unlocked phone already, both GPS and BootLoader.
GENERALIZED STEP BY STEP
People this stuff is very basic so I just generalized the steps and categorized the types of people that may use this ROM. IF you need more detail explain what step and I will update the post.
Steps to apply this ROM:
There are a few scenarios for flashing this ROM:
1. You are a VZW user and you are currently running ANOTHER GPS ROM sucesfully but want to revert to a 100% stock ROM without loosing the standard GPS:
Simply flash this ROM like any other custom GPS ROM (except its not custom, its stock VZW with normal GPS mode drivers.)
2. You are a VZW User and you have flashed the leaked ROM BUT DID NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN. Just unlock with Cokeman unlocker and then flash this ROM. You will have the stock ROM with no GPS limitations.
3. If you are a VZW user and have not unlocked your phone at all:
Flash IMcokeman bootload (2.31?)
Flash leaked VZW ROM - DO NOT CALIBRATE! Let it sit on that screen!
Flash my hacked leaked ROM - Calibrate and let Customizations Run.
4. If you are a VZW user and you have flashed with the leaked ROM AND LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN:
Youre screwed for now. I think I have a viable fix but have not had time to try it yet. Once I test the fix then you too can have a stock VZW ROM with NORMAL GPS.
Later on I will upload a ROM with the Radio, the boot screens, and the OS so you can cut down the number of steps to apply this if you are not unlocked already. But that will be later this week....

GPS Hacked on VZW Leaked ROM
I have been looking for a way to upgrade my stock VZW VOGUE (6.0).
But I can't find the original shipped (6.0 ROM) in case I have to go back to stock.
I noticed the link to your "GPS Hacked on VZW Leaked ROM", http://www.scottcrosler.com/vogue/ sent me to a page about the Touch Pro or the Touch Diamond. I did find the file that I
downloaded back on 11-30-2008. I searched the 51 pages from ppcgeeks, but still don't know if the ROM is safe to run. Is there a reason that you don't
support it?
I will search further..

does not make any sense to me

ok i have a verizon vogue
i unlocked it using cokemans unlocker
i then bricked my vogue for about a week
then i unbricked it
after unbricking it i flashed an altell rom ver -3.04.671.2 radio ver -3.37.10
THEN it took me 2 days to program my phone having crazy problems
i have downloaded:
1. HTC gps tool
2. google maps
3. live maps
4. aGPS
not gettin ****
i have been told my radio version is too low

Is it currently unlocked? If so what version is it? Should say something about coke and a version number when first starting.

When you flashed did you let the customization Run? Never let them run unless you are using a custom ROM.
Before you do anything I would flash the stock VZW ROM.

You don't need a higer radio than the one you already have. But the link above will give you the lattest VZW radio.
Give this link a shot.

FIX VERIZON GPS
This tutorial is for users that have flashed the new Verizon ROM for the vx6900 and let customization disable their GPS. This will help you restore the original GPS functions to use with google maps etc. Links to the files can be found in the numbers 1 - 6 for each step.
[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[5] Flash any custom rom
Note: may be able to skip step six.
[6] Do the agps fix on xda (if you want the stock rom do this before step 5)
I would use NFSFAN's VZW 1.15.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE: non US 3G Xoom 3.1 repack (Telstra) inc Baseband Updater

[ Due to me no longer having a Xoom, this ROM repack is no longer supported / available. Please contact me directly if you have any queries or if you would like the source code to the Baseband Updater. ]

"Fed up with waiting for the UK Xoom 3G update to 3.1"
I got mine first thing this morning following an empty update last night but thanks anyway!

Paul, why do we need to update the baseband?

Paul, thanks for the image, however I'm having some problems and I am hoping you can help.
I have a verizon MZ601 xoom, and did a clockworkmod install of your zip, in an attempt to "switch the baseband" from CDMA to UMTS.
(I believe there are no hardware diferences since MDM6600 is multi-baseband)
Untill now, I was unable to find a different baseband image.
I have however cross flashed (fastboot) EU GSM versions (without baseband updates) and they worked fine. Hence I am not worried taking the risk.
Anyway, the thing is, I had US wifi only version with android 3.2
I installed your zip, with clockworkmod, reboot - stuck at boot screen (with honeycombs)
I did have ADB shell, but dont know what to check... (log?)
I tried cat on /dev/log/... but they are binary or something(?)
Ofcourse I can restore back to US working versions, but I really wanted to try your baseband update!
So I rebooted to recovery, did a wipe/cache clean return factory defaults, and managed to boot.
The problem now is that I dont have root anymore and I can not run your baseband upgrade!
Should I go with typical root steps for UK, 3.1 version ?
Should I drop the whole thing ?
Maybe If I had a baseband update "alone" so I can apply in on a UK fastboot images flash, and hopefully convert my CDMA to UMTS ?
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks!

UPDATE:
ok I rooted the device, and runned the "baseband update"
It gives me a window asking "Reboot to recovery?" I press "yes" and It takes me to clockworkmod recovery ....
where is the upgrade ? how is it initiated ?
Shouldn't this updated replace the clockworkmod recovery partition ?
Am I missing something ?

Correct, it should reflash the stock patched recovery - let me look into it.

Thanks
I'm really exited ! ...
I'm a few clicks away from either switching the baseband - or bricking my device!
Great

Ok, this is what I did….
I pulled the Baseband update utility apk from the rom, installed it into Verizon 3.1, updated the busybox, and started the Baseband update utility……the xoom booted into the patched version of the stock recovery and the updating started but failed at the middle
assert failed: moto.update_cdma_bp(“/tmp/bp_rdl.bin”, “/tmp/bp.img”)
E:Error in /cache/update.zip

XooModaco
i have just spent the last 4 weeks getting my 3.1 to a standard i call enjoyable and now ' PaulO ' releases a rom!
gota be worth a backup and flash to see how good this is i rekon, here goes ...

i have a3g us verizon xoom. but i'm outside us. may i install this rom ? is there any GSM baseband available? may i use sim card slot for gsm network? does my xoom's hardware support it?
thanks a lot

Hey Paul,
glad to see you providing ROMs for the xoom as well. I started flashing your ROMs on my Hero a long time ago.
Anyway, I have an UMTS/3G issue with your ROM. Unlocking SIM works, entering a new APN for Vodafone Germany works as well. The connection bar on the bottom left shows me a solid (grey) H, but it never turns blue. I can't get any traffic through it. It works on Tiamat 2.0 (euro) and stock.
It's not SIM-card related, because I switched my XOOM SIM card with the one in my DHD, didn'T change anything. Working with my DHD, not working with my XOOM.
It's not APN related, although I thought about it in the first place. I dumped the working APN list from stock ROM (and from CM7 DHD as well) and restored it on your ROM. Rebooted. Nada, still no traffic coming through.
Any ideas? I think it could be baseband related, but how to dump the baseband from unrooted stock?
BTW: do you need some more APNs for your ROM? I made a dump with an app called APN backup.

Guys any news on the baseband update (and potentially switch) app ?

[Q] Return from ARHD to Stock

OK - I'm having major issues and want to be able to return my HD back to stock firmware - however no matter what I do I can't flash the RUU ...
Can anyone point me to a step by step guide - I've currently got S - Off and a v 3 boot loader so I need to down grade. I have done various searches and either the threads are gone or the files linked have gone.
I'm doing this because no matter what I do I cant get the wifi to switch back on - I'm told its a firmware error - the phone was originally a vodafone handset
Any help ?

[Australia] HTC 10 Australian

Hi guys,
I got my HTC 10 last week - phone is a big improvement from the m8.
I am running Telstra's latest firmware - Have s-off already...
Telstra's latest firmware is 1.53.841.6 with Leedroid ROM - have been trying to get VOLTE.
I never got VOLTE with stock because I rooted so fast and S-OFF and installed custom ROMs.
So I had to install stock system image 1.53.841.6, reinstall stock recovery and factory reset and VOLTE icon shows up instantly. Install TWRP and VOLTE remains. But if you install a custom rom and do a full wipe seem to lose VOLTE. Also have to have the telstra firmware to VOLTE to work, I tried with WWE and no go. Also had to ring up telstra as it wasn't activated. So if you are having trouble getting it - might be best to double check. Even though my provisioned flag was on. *#*#4636#*#* to check - tap phone info.
@xlrate reported not wiping data and installing VIPER was able to keep VOLTE. (Updated the customize folder in the rom with my Telstra back up, also the build prop to do this) Also TELST001 cid has to be on.
Has anyone got VOLTE working on a custom ROM on WWE Firmware?
So Aussies... Who's got their new HTC 10?

Telstra OREO update
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA....48.841.31_release_519847tp9bagwfkglchg5u.zip
@Sneakyghost isn't doing the firmware updates anymore.
If you need to use the firmware.zip out of the OREO zip and need to a custom recovery either replace the recovery.img with twrp.img (rename it of course) in the firmware.zip - or flash one after installation.

I got mine about a month ago.. All I've done so far is root it.. (even after all these years, it still sounds wrong)
I normally run ARHD, but, Mike hasn't mentioned developing for the 10, so, I'm stuck atm, not really interested in running a massively modded ROM. But, last night the OTA notification popped up for 1.53.841.6.. So, I'm going to have to do something - the notification is annoying me. So, I guess I have to work out how to update it.
I hadn't even considered the VoLTE requirements.. I just assumed it would all work, even on a custom ROM. 4G did, I didn't think this would be any different.
Is VoLTE worth hanging on to? I don't really get it.. Is it like VOIP for mobiles?

I have had VoLTE working with Leedroid after I used the telstra 1.53 system/customize & parts of the build.prop on the 1.30 base... Haven't been able to get it working on 1.80 base.
Have had to use the telstra firmware for it work, doesn't work on WWE. So it is kinda a pain to get working.
VoLTE is better call quality and if you are on a call you can use LTE/4g to use the internet... Without VoLTE when on calls your phone 3g
EDIT - don't think OTA will work since you are rooted unless you went systemless root

I guess I don't 'appreciate' VoLTE as much as I should, because I rarely make phone calls..
Sadly, not Systemless root. So, I think I need to go back to stock, update and re-root. It's not something I've had to worry about before. So, it's kinda frustrating, and a little too complicated for me to totally understand.
I was going to de-brand it, and just run the WWE RUU.. But, maybe I'll wait for the 1.80 Telstra update and worry about it then.
I got rid of the notification

Anyone experiencing an issue with NFC? While on stock 1.21.841.8 (and locked), worked without issue. Since updating to 1.53.841.6 (and unlocked), can't read my Opal card now ie no vibration, no sound, no anything. Haven't tested my tap & pay banking app yet (which did work without issue prior to updating).

Yes I also had and issue with NFC. Would not read opal card and was an absolute pain to try and read my Amex and Visa card.
Ended up getting another issue with it and returned the phone under warranty for NFC and the other issue.
Still waiting to get a phone back ?

Yeah NFC doesn't work with mine now on 1.53.
I did get a vibrate and a sound when I was on earlier firmware but not now.
Just hoping that the 1.8 update fixes this stuff.......

Tried reflashing the 1.53 firmware again (twice) to see if it fixes it, but it's still not working ie Can switch it on and off, but it does not respond to my opal card.
It's only taken Telstra until this month to push out 1.53, so who knows when (or if) 1.80 will happen. Now I'm trying to decide whether it's worth sending back for another handset or waiting to see if the next OTA will fix it. My biggest concern is that the replacement could be on 1.21 and I could possibly end up with the same issue all over again!

I just tried to NFC on 1.53 and it isn't working very well, hardly at all. I got it to work 3 times in about 15 mins...
Previously I think when I was on 1.30 firmware it was working well before but just had to hold it near the head phone jack.
Any Telstra users want to test out the Telstra firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/2016-05-27-fastboot-flashing-firmware-t3387520
Make sure you back-up the rom & back up internal storage refer to later posts in that thread.

https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Software-Updates-01-07-2016/td-p/585953 Telstra 1.80.841.8 firmware is coming 25-Jul
Leedroid is the best rom for Telstra users. Running it myself and working perfectly, now supports Telstra with carrier support & VoLTE working - thanks @LeeDroid
*Only works on Telstra firmware.

Install Ice yesterday (only got my phone Friday ), really like it over the stock rom.
Some people complained about the LED but I like it. My only complaint about my M8 was how bright the LED was specially in the dark when you're trying to get to sleep.
Another problem I'm having is file transfers freeze when using a USB 2 port on Windows 10.
I like my new M10 but not sure if I like it over the M8 as of yet. I preferred the speaker arrangement on the M8 and having the home, back buttons etc on the screen rather then down the bottom.
I have to admit I'm not a fan of the "Samsung" look at all which is why I bought HTC in the past to begin with. I didn't want to be a part of the flock.

Hey guys,
I'm looking to get the 10 but imported, could someone (especially looking for someone with Optus) check their box to see what specific model it is (e.g. 10h or 10u)?
Thanks guys

The Telstra model is a HTC 10h

ICE (InsertCoin) v2.0.6 supports Telstra also now too. Thanks @baadnewz

Found out that Telstra's policy for DOA/ELF replacements are within 30 days of purchase. Since a return will result in a repair, I'll wait to see if the OTA will fix the NFC issue first before sending back.
Has anyone experienced an NFC issue on Telstra stock, only to have it disappear after switching to a cusom ROM?
