WM5 GPS application - iGuidance compatibility?

Hi
Does anyone know how to setup IGuidance to work with WM5? I dont know how to work the BT ports at all. In 2003se, i could use the "scan" for bt data and it'd find the itrek gps unit but now it results in "no gps found". alternatively, what other gps software will work other than tomtom? I dont have tomtom =(

I've got version 2.1 and it seems to work with WM5. I add the gps to the bluetooth and then I create an incoming and outgoing port. I set my gps to port 6. In IGuidance it won't detect the gps but if you manually choose port 6 it will work just fine.

iGuidance 2.1.3 locks up my Wizard after several minutes. Grrr...

I am having all sorts of trouble with my PDA2K (WM5) and iGuidance. Although I think it has more to do with my bluetooth than anything. When I first started trying to get it to work it gave me coordinates that I was in Africa... Anyway, I think I am going to go back to 2003SE.

I'm having a different problem with iGuidance v2.1.3 on WM5. It installs and runs just fine. I use BT over COM6 and it seems fine. The problem I have is that the coordinates are off. The strange thing is that when I run GPSInfo (a separate app) it shows the correct coordinates - iGudiance thinks they are different and thinks I'm in a different location ( a few miles away).
I gave up on it and decided to go back to 2003SE (iGuidace v2.1 that worked perfectly fine on that configuration a long time ago). I followed teh steps to format/clean hive and did the down grade but am having a different problem. I've seen other people running into similar issues but I've not been able to get around it
"BTTrayCE - bluetooth can no longer be used because the license has expired" - I have tried a number of things using different BT stacks, 2003SE builds, reset (soft+hard) etc. Same problem!!! Argh - I'm stuck. I really miss my GPS!

Hi krille,
I also had similar problems with my SX66 and iGuidance and finally decided to go back to win 2003 because it worked fine with it. In WM5 my BT GPS receiver was never able to make a connection with iGuidance. But now I am having a different problem. I cannot downgrade even though I followed all the instructions correctly posted on the BA_Downgrade page. The upgrade program ( MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ) does not seem to identify the rom versions and though it gives me a successfully upgraded message nothing had happened. I cannot downgrade now and stuck with WM5. Did any of you experience this when downgrading and can offer me any help.
DEK.

I've been upgrading/downgrading with differnt ROMs without any problems
Make sure to disable activesync on the pc and copy the nbf files as described in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5. Sometimes the verion info update to/from doesn't show between WM5/2003SE...
What happens when you click Update to continue?

BaUpgradeUt.exe worked
Thanks for your reply. I followed all the steps as described in the link you have sent but MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe did not upgrade (downgrade to 2003SE) though I got a message saying it did. Then I tried the file BaUpgradeUt.exe in PH20B folder and it did work. My device data file says my SX66 is in fact PH20B1 though. I do not know why MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe cannot update my ROM. Anyway I am happy now with my WM2003SE and iGuidance and BT all work faster with ROM update to 1.40. Now I am planing to customize my ExtROM to have all my personal settings and programs so that I want feel bad not having WM2005. Thanks for your willingness to help.

Problems after ROM update - HELP

Hi
I've been running my Jasjar for a while now with no problems until a few days ago. Then I thought I'd flash the ROM to the latest version from the iMate website, also unlock it using Buzz Lightyear's unlocking solution.
Unlocking and then flashing the ROM appeared to go smoothly and, once I'd downloaded the latest Activesync (4.1.0, build 4841), I was once again able to connect to the Jasjar and everything was hunky dory once more - until I tried to reinstall some programs...
Basically, when I try to install Tomtom navigator, also some other programs I use for work (including SQL CE from the MS website) the install appears to start OK but then - depending on the program - it either crashes and wants to report a problem to M$, or it just vanishes from the PC screen. However some other programs, such as M$' remote display control, install OK!!
So, I tried it from my laptop - exactly the same result!
I've tried trawling through the registry on my PC and deleting any suspect entries, but this has made no difference.
All the above programs that are failing to install were running fine before the ROM update.
Current settings info, after the ROM update, is:
Rom version: 1.30.76 WWE (02/20/06)
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
HELP!

Upgrade Sprint Touch to Rev. A. COMPLETE TUTORIAL With Download Links.

THIS IS A STRAIGHT COPY/PASTE FROM dharvey4651's POST ON PPCGEEKS. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT HERE FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT CHECK PPCGEEKS. Enjoy!!
--
Upgrade Sprint Touch to Rev. A. COMPLETE TUTORIAL With Download Links.
As there are many Sprint users here and the new Alltel thread growing like a fungus, I figured it was a good time to create a tutorial thread with download links for Sprint users.
Let's begin.
UPGRADING SPRINT TOUCH TO REV. A
Make sure your phone(Sprint Touch) is fully charged as this will take the better part of an hour. While your phone is charging, I would strongly recommend using a program such as SPB Backup to backup all important information on your device as it will be hard reset multiple times during this process.
1. Download ImCoKeMaN's new Vogue unlocker: http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Make sure your device is connected to ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, whichever you have.
3. Run Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe and follow the on screen instructions. It is VERY easy to do this wrong so MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS during the process of unlocking your device. Your phone will display SPL 2.00.coke at first but will then change to 2.31.coke as you progress through the process.
4. Allow your phone to boot up completely into OS once the unlocker process is done. Hold the power and camera button and insert your stylus into the soft-reset hole next to the mini-usb port on the bottom of your phone. It should display an SPL of 2.31.coke.
IF YOUR DEVICE DISPLAYS THE 2.31.coke SPL THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT, REPEAT STEPS 3&4 UNTIL IT DOES.
5. Reboot your phone so that it is back in OS and you are able to use the phone and connect to ActiveSync/WMDC.
6. Download and run RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_3 .37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecia lNBH.exe
and follow the on screen instructions. It is much the same as any RUU you may have used before. The update will appear to have crashed at 11%. Do NOT be alarmed as this is normal.
THIS STEP CAN BE FATAL FOR SPRINT USERS SO READ CAREFULLY!!!
7. When RUU is completed, align screen and set date and time as usual.
For All Non-Alltel users once you finish aligning the screen and setting the date and time it will say "Tap the screen to continue". As soon as you do this it will immediately display a message that says "Customization will begin in 3 seconds. Press OK to continue." SOFT RESET NOW!!! Do NOT allow carrier customization to run. Soft reset during that 3 seconds.
8. At this point your phone should be booting back up. It should still display the Sprint PCS banner on the HTC Home plugin and you will still be able to make and receive calls. At this time, test your internet and see if it works. I have read conflicting stories of people using the Alltel ROM and being able to use the internet still and also people not being able to use the internet.(If your internet does not work do not be alarmed, there is still one more step)
9. If your internet works and you like the Alltel ROM then you are done. If your internet does not work or you would rather have a Sprint ROM, continue to step 10.
10. Download RUU and jakdillard's new WM6.1 ROM below.
ROM - ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/gpstest2.1.rar
RUU - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VNIQUDP2
11. Copy contents of RUU folder to gpstest2.1 folder and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow on screen prompts and ROM update should go smoothly.
12. Sprint users you are now done. You should now have a Rev. A Sprint Touch with the OEM look and feel of JD's 19209 build.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GPS - HOW TO.
I know a lot of you have been wanting to get GPS working. Here is how to do it.
1. You must be using JD's newest test ROM which is available for download in step 10 of the tutorial above.
2. Download Google Maps from here: http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/P...&productType=2
It is free so don't worry.
3. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC(whichever you have) and copy the downloaded cab file to your phone and run it. Install to main memory.
4. Just run Google Maps a wualla. Done.
How-To Get GPS Working Everytime (added by mindfrost82):
- Download GpsViewer.PPC300_2577.cab.zip(Holux GPS Viewer)(free)
- Run that program before you run any other GPS program
- Set it to Com4 and click Open
- Be near a window to get a fast lock on GPS (mine still works inside my house though)
- When you start to see what looks like lat/long in the display minimize it (don't close it)
- Now run Google Maps (or any other app) and set it to Com4 (or automatic should work too)
- It should pickup GPS right away since the GPS Viewer already has the locks
- Remember to close the Holux GPS Viewer when you're done or it'll constantly use GPS and drain your battery!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOWNGRADING AND REVERTING BACK TO ORIGINAL SPL
1. Download ImCoKeMaN's original unlocker here: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...e_unlocker.exe
2. Run Vogue_unlocker.exe and follow the on screen instructions to a T as it is very easy to mess up. This will overwrite the 2.31.coke SPL. During the unlocking process your device will display 0.36.coke SPL. This will change once update is complete.
3. Once you finished with the unlocker, your SPL should no longer display 2.31.coke but should now display 0.40.coke.
4. Insert your stylus into the soft-reset hole but do not allow to boot back up into OS. Instead, hold down the camera and power buttons and insert the stylus into the soft-reset hole again putting you in bootloader mode.
IF YOUR DEVICE STILL DISPLAYS 0.36.coke THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT THEN RE-RUN STEPS 2&3 UNTIL IT DOES.
5. Since it is recommended that you flash back to the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM at this time, that is the link that I am providing here. Download and flash the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM. This will overwrite the custom SPL written by ImCoKeMaN's unlocker.
6. You're now done. Your phone has now been reverted back to it's original shipped state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTORE THE 1.33.003 PRI
(Must complete the Downgrading and reverting back to original SPL tutorial first)
If you are a Sprint user and you allowed the Alltel customization to run and complete then you most likely are now wondering where the Sprint PCS banner went from the HTC Home Plugin and are also wondering why you are not able to connect to the internet regardless of what you do. This is a tutorial on how to fix this problem.
What happened to cause this problem is that Alltel's customization also contains a 2.01.001 PRI which is different from Sprint's 1.33.003 PRI. Allowing customization to run will overwrite Sprint's with Alltel's leaving you with no internet or Sprint PCS banner on the Home plugin.
Here is how to fix it:
1. Download GetSPC here: http://www.5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip
2. Extract the zip file and copy the GetSPC folder to the root of main memory of your device.
3. Go to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and either open notepad or get a piece of paper and write down your ESN. This is your HEX ESN.
4. Run GetSPC.exe from that folder you placed on in the ROOT folder of your device and in the TOP box, type in your HEX ESN. Hit "GO" and the number generated will be your MSL. Write this number down as well.
5. From the dialpad(MUST BE ORIGINAL VOGUE DIALPAD, NOT A SKINNED DIAL PAD) dial ##786# and it will bring up a large list of quite a few different numbers. Write down your MDN and MSID(you will need them, trust me).
6. Click Menu and select reset. It will ask you to put in an unlock code. Type in your MSL. Everything will reset back to the factory defaults, including your PRI, MDN, and MSID.
7. Follow boot sequence and align screen and what not and allow Sprint's customization to complete.
8. From the dialpad, dial ##(6 digit MSL here)# and click edit. Type in your MDN and MSID and click OK.
9. Your phone should now be reverted back to the bare bones stock OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM with the Sprint PRI of 1.33. You're done.

Nice, here's the link to the original thread, which might get updated.
I have attached QuickGPS again along with GPSTool if anybody is interested.

Sprint Customization
Is there a way to put the Sprint customizations on here? E.g. a .cab that would install the Sprint style cube, today screen plug in, SprintTV, Sprint Music, etc.?
One thing I noticed was that the cube is HTC but when you spin it, it is Alltel. I have searched both here and PPCGeeks but haven't found any Sprint cabs.
Any help?
Other than that, 6.1 and GPS, hotness! Works great.

Update: I found most of them, the link to where for anyone else is http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22706
Now I am only trying to get the following: the updated Sprint Cube, the Sprint animated splash screen, and the Sprint theme.
Anybody?

I just wanted to say that this works perfectly on Bell Mobility in Canada, and it's great!

I followed the process and I've been waiting for this since I purchase the Vogue last year. I am impressed by this and I cannot believe Sprint was not able to make this happen any time sooner. This is great!

This would make a great sticky!

Can you please re post link for OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM. THanks

I can also attest that this works perfect. Winmo 6.1, GPS, Rev A data speeds, clean fast (so far) stable rom. Also, an added bonus that i found is with this rom my mic sensitivity issue has been resolved. I could not hold a converstaion with someone if i was in a relatively loud atmosphere. Must be a 6.1 update or something. Who knows.....
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Big ups to the original poster at ppcgeeks.com

I read about some registry change for the mic sensitivity..

I dabbled in that a while back with no luck. There was a CSV type file somewheres that i found w/ help from this forum. It looked too easy to mess something up.
Side note: RevA is blazin fast....

I can't run the "RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_ 3.37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpeci alNBH.exe" file. It always gives me error "Vouge has encounter a problem and needs to close"
What should I do? I have XP SP2 with Admin right. Please help

Tomtom CAB

Hi
I have (had) a Dutch version of HTC Diamond from Vodafone and flushed it with official 1.93 HTC WWE ROM. The problem is, the original Vodafone ROM came with Tomtom 7 which is not included in HTC ROM.
Tomtom is still on the internal storage and I can run it. However, no matter what I do it doesn't get the signal. It keep showing "waiting for GPS signal"... My theory is, something is missing in Tomtom to function propery.
Has anybody extracted Tomtom CAB installer from a "custom provider" rom, so I can re-install it? Or, may be there is something else I could to to get it to work?
Thanks in advance!

Please don't post this in the development section...
There are enough CAB's (legal) on XDA if you search.
Did you also flash the radio? If not, try a different radio.
Make sure your settings for External GPS are like this:
Programs
GPS Program Port > COM4
Hardware
GPS Hardware port > none
Baud rate > 4800
Access
Manage GPS Auto > CHECKED
Also be sure to set TomTom to Internal GPS or Other GPS (No BT or TT device).

Thank you!
(This is my last post on the subject, I understand that this it the wrong forum)
Just for the record: Tomtom "sees" the GPS unit (it turns from "No GPS Receiver" to "Waiting signal" quickly). My Radio ROM is xx.xx.25.05.
Ok, I will do more searching.

That's actually how it should work. It takes some time to find the build in GPS. After this it searches for a signal. You might wanna test this outside since it's hard to get a fix inside depending on your location.
Sometimes it takes several minutes to get a fix.
Concerning flashing. I always perform a few hard resets after flashing. Might wanna try this. If all fails reflash the radio ROM

its a setting in tomtom... try changing where it gets it gps signal from....should be set to internal gps...

That's what I said But according to the TS it "sees" the actual GPS but it's got no signal..

update quickgps.. go to somewhere without trees etc.. you should get a signal.. wait for it for a while.. if still no luck.. update your radio to. 07

sorry bro.... didnt read that bit..my bad.

np mate it's late (2:00 am).
The radio should work just fine, I use the 05 all the time.
Holland isn't that big but you can always try the 07 (or 08 for that matter) of course.

Thanks for all the replies!
I, of course, did the hardreset after flashing the rom and ran QuickGPS update.
When in Tomtom, I can go to the "Satellites" and I can see that Tomtom get's poor signal from 2-5 satellites at the time. I was outside for 40 minutes, couldn't get a lock. May be something wrong with my device :-(

Try setting "other nmea receiver"

when you 'flushed' it with the offical HTC rom your radio got updated...
i flashed the official HK rom and noticed the radio rom being updated also...
try a different radio file...
i can tell you it makes a huge difference!
.08 works best for me with regards to gps lag but takes 5-10mins to sync...
so i'm using .06

Hi TT7 on diamond works ok,
set tt to internal GPS. close TT.
run quickgps fix , start TT again.
now TT wil find its gps-ses lots faster.
Im running AZTOR V6, radio .08

*Updated: Aug 8th* "Complete" Verizon GPS Fix/Custom Rom Install

Many people before myself have addressed this issue! Their has been post about how to fix verizon gps and many relies to "GPS NOT WORKING, ECT.." Regardless their are people that still have questions and very still unclear on how to resolve.
I've had this issue as well and fixed it many of times I have also been on the question side of things it sucks not knowing what going on... I figured I would attempt post the fix and answer as many questions regarding this issue as possible. Please feel free to pm me for missing info and or a better explanation of what is written. (I'm not perfect)
This Post is Geared to people who can NOT use GPS because of verizon "software disabling". If your not sure you can use gps please look below to Side Notes for testing.
If your gps works and you need guidance on how to flash a custom rom! Start From Step 3
Definition of GPS Types
*aGps this uses an internet connection to triangulate with distance from radio towers. Process time for location lock ruffly 5-15 sec(not this topic and verizon attempts to block these attempts)
*Gps takes a moment to lock on to multiple satellites to triangulate your location. Process time for location lock ruffly 2-4 min(Weather Dependent)
Read The Entire Post Before Attempting
DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
Install Instruction
Download Step1 Flash/Unlock with 0.40.coke (necessary for Step2)
Download Step2 **Load Unlocker & Flash Older ROM without GPS (This resolves Issue)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step3 Flash/Unlock with 2.31.coke (necessary for Step3)
Download Step4 **Load Unlocker & Flash Verizon Stock Rom (Strongly Recommended)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step5 **Load Unlocker & Flash Newest Radio Available (I recommend 3.42.3 or 3.42.5)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
6.1 or 6.5 Step6 **Load Unlocker & Flash at least 2x any custom rom (I Recommend NFSFAN's Rom)
*Allow Customization to Run Fully for Custom Rom's
*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use and Love tomtom/Garmin, nsfan always includes GPS viewer for testing)
Side Note
As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just very important not to Let the Customization Run. After Step4 or Step5 you can install the below Cab's to test if issue has been Resolved. If you need to use active sync during these steps make sure to Remove from Airplane Mode and or Un-check option under USB to PC (fast syncing) Also Step 1 & 3 Coke Un-locker's are not compatible to x64bit systems. There maybe a way to get around or another version of coke unlocker, its just unknown to me. If anyone here knows of a way PLEASE let me know!

Provisioning phone 1st time
Your phone needs to be authenticated(*228 Option 1)! There are many way to resolve this. Tech support can manually have you add an Akey(26? hexadecimal code). Online Activation VZW Site or I prefer this method,
Attempt to make a phone call. You will Receive a VZ Error with a 800 number to call. Call this number and Explain
"I Just installed my phone and its not authenticating to make phone call. Unfortunately I'm on the phone in question and do not have an alternate to contact you with. Can you please fix this?, I have a few important phone calls to make!"
After which they will place you on hold and may explain giving you "temp authentication". This is not true is permanent. Process Including Hold time Usually is resolved with 4-8min
Side Note Thanks to -Digital Doug
After following the above instructions if your phone needs to be authenticated still and you speak
to verizon tech support! They will instruct you to dial ##778 to get your phone to open up a hidden configuration menu.
This doesn't work with NSFAN rom's. You need to dial ##778# instead. Its a small detail

thanks for such informative writing, i myself really don't need the gps on my phone that bad, but it can come handy sometimes and i've been hesitating to do this fix because i heard that downgrading radio can mess up the phone, but i think i'll give it a go sometime this week and will report back.
Quick question: i always flash my phone from the SD Card since day 1, because for some reason the Laptop disconnect the USB sometimes, so.. is it safe to unlock from SD Card as it is to flash from SD card??
thanks again.

I have never flash from the SD card not sure what you mean
Ive also have that usb disconnecting issue with all of my vouge like its loose on the mini usb connection. All i do is plug it in and dont touch it till its done. But if you where to accidently disconnect the usb for any reason. No worries coke unlocker will cover this issue and just reload and try again.

Well i followed your instructions to the T. And i was beginning to write how its not working. But then i noticed that it started picking up satellites. So YES. SUCCESS. IT DOES WORK! Just a side note how do i get rid of the Bell logo when i first boot up?

Also, what steps did you follow afterwards to get your internet and mms up and runnng?

Bell Logo is something to be removed when flashing a Custom rom. Me personally i don't care to change it but from what i understand its just swapping a file in the custom rom and then proceed with a normal flash.

Sounds like your trying to load the sprint rom from activesync. You should be loading it though the "Coke Unlocker boot loader"
Make sure to follow the steps above. Btw also if you have follow the step be sure your download is not corrupted!

Any suggestions with me not being able to receive data? I am using 3.42.5 radio. Should i try 3.42.3 to get the data to work?

Many people before myself have addressed this issue! Their has been post about how to fix verizon gps and many relies to "GPS NOT WORKING, ECT.." Regardless their are people that still have questions and very still unclear on how to resolve.
I've had this issue as well and fixed it many of times I have also been on the question side of things it sucks not knowing what going on... I figured I would attempt post the fix and answer as many questions regarding this issue as possible. Please feel free to pm me for missing info and or a better explanation of what is written. (I'm not perfect)
Most important Things to know
Read The Entire Post Before Attempting
DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
Download Step1 Flash/Unlock with 0.40.coke (necessary for Step2)
Download Step2 Load Unlocker & Flash Older ROM without GPS (This resolves Issue)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step3 Flash/Unlock with 2.31.coke (Need to Flash newer Rom's)
Download Step4 Load Unlocker & Flash Verizon Stock Rom Recommended*(Personally Have Skipped this step worked perfect)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step5 Load Unlocker & Flash Newest Radio Available (I recommend 3.42.3 or 3.42.5)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Step6 Load Unlocker & Flash atleast 2x any custom rom (Recommend NFSFAN's Rom)
*Allow Customization to Run Fully for Custom Rom's
*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use and Love tomtom/Garmin, nsfan always includes GPS viewer for testing
Side Note
As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just very important not to Let the Customization Run. After Step4 or Step5 you can install the below Cab's to test if issue has been Resolved. If you need to use active sync during these steps make sure to Remove from Airplane Mode and or Un-check option under USB to PC (fast syncing)

Accidental Double Post

Generally speaking when doing alot of flashing you may loose your A-Key settings! which should be fixed buy using verizon's *225 function but sometime must be manually entered by their Tech support team.
You can also call them and say im on the phone and need to make an important phone call can you please unlock the phone. They may say its temporary but its a lie. LOL
Did you use the MMS Cab and follow the instruction because that will restore your data connection information! If so reinstall try again
Btw Dont worry its just a minor software setting it will work

Wow are you unable to help me with my issue. my data access doesnt work period. i keep putting in my username ([email protected]) and password (vzw). And i still havent connected? Please help me!

did you flash the original Carrier Rom?
did you try the mms cab?
I never said i was unable to help you tell me what you have done so far
also try this cab

Well. I was waiting for a response and figured i try flashing it to the original ROM and let all the customization run first. Then started from Step 1. So thats where i am at right now. Step 4
And i finally got it working. GPS, phone, and data. Had to put a freakin 26 digit authentication code from verizon.

Yeah next time pm me bro, but of course it always nothing to worry about great community here and their is always someone to help.
Ill edit the original post later with all the information we covered. When I do if you have input of your experience you think i should add let me know.
Going forward when you flash to a newer verison of a custom rom you will NOT have to authenticate to verizon or call them for that matter at all. The only necessary steps are
installing mms cab, gps cab, restoring back-up contacts, and any other custom apps you perfer (I do this on a regular basis I swear its much easier )

Sprint GPS Vogue
Hey verizon buddies,
I have a sprint touch, and the agps feature must not be working because i can only get a lock outside...
will your instructions work for sprint?
does sprint need specific different server settings?
thanks!!!

any files for us vista-64 bit users? i have a 8core computer with 8gb ram, so i had to go 64bit, but i cannot even use the first file, the 0.40coke unlocker just says it doesnt work on 64bit windows (same with the 2.31 unlocker)

Thanks for mentioning this, Unfortunately I ran into this issue as well with 64bit systems. I was unable to find a resolve to this issue I always keep atleast one of my rigs on win xp for compatibility issues such as what you see here. Although if you can find out please let me know that way I can add it here to the post.

I myself dont waste my time with aGps because verizon blocks theses efforts when possible to force you to use there software.. Sprint does not do this I believe so technically you can make it work easliy you just need the settings I would refer this this post

they cover aGps settings specifically. GoodLuck

Great Walk Through
I did this a couple of nights ago and am absolutely thrilled that I can now use my GPS. I have been searching for weeks, and this was great. I do have one problem though. My battery life seems to be horrible, anything you would suggest to maybe help with this. I also can't seem to keep activesync from opening back up. This site has helped me so much and Im sure it will do the same in the future.
