[Q] GPS issues

new to rooting and flashing roms. there is onw problem I am having. When I flash a rom gps suddenly goes out the window, none of the indicators pop up in the notification bar, maps and navigation have a problem finding my location, and most of the time my phone doesn't know where I am. Now if I unroot back to stock everything goes back to normal which is weird to me but what I would like to ask the community is that, What can I do to fix this issue? Do I need to flash a fix or is there nothing I can do?

I'm sure you've already done this but you did go in to your location settings menu and checked the ones that apply? I haven't heard of this and it must not be a hardware issue if it works fine on stock..

that's what I thought... honestly I haven't tried all the roms (mostly just the stock roms) but I have flashed at least four, all with the same results. I would just keep it stock so I have a fully working phone but the only unrooted flash I know of is on the Unlockr site which will unroot it back to 2.1 and I don't know if I can live that far in the past

The other weird thing is in locations there is an option for location on and E911 . The E911 is checked on and it says that E911 cannot be checked off on any mobile device. Ask the other times it gives me an option. I am currently running Magnolia Final's latest version

when I flash through hboot should I wipe as if I'm flashing another rom? I flashed a 2.2 ruu before the OTA went out and I ended up bootlooping and everything forced closed on me. I think that's what made me root in the first place.

where do i go to get it

Having the same issue my GPS has not worked for like the past 6 months if anyone has found a fix to the problem. I'm running lous #8 the new evo radio .04.08

[Q] Updating Radios RA Recovery

Im currently running AVA-Froyo Z3, thinking about flashing a Synergy Nightly but in the meantime im sticking with this one. Lately I have noticed slow browser speeds and bad reception in general and though I might try flashing the new radios that release on the 3rd with the gingerbread update. I flash roms all the time but I have never flashed a radio update. Do i do this the same way as a rom? Boot into recovery (btw im using RA-Recovery V2.3) and wipe dalvik Cache and then flash zip from sd? Is there a risk doing this? Im know radio update questions have been posted before but I dont know if the radio update is risky on a rom specific level. ANy help would be appreciated

yeah just like that just make sure your battery is charged and also dont get desperate and let it do its think before you start pressing things or try a battery pull, first boot will take longer

It depends where you got the files. Some have to be flashed via hboot/bootloader.
But if you got then from the calvn thread (misspelled im sure) then you flash them like you do a rom, but you dont have to wipe anyting. I didnt and things are fine.

just like the other poster said its no different than flashing roms. Just follow directions and wait but please be patient
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 - use the combo its what I used and just sit back and wait

Very important to make sure you have enough battery charge and do not pull your battery while doing this process. Don't let it fall out your hand while doing it either, lol. Sure way to get a bricked evo while flashing radio updates and the battery pops out or dies.

yeah, and just in case you missed it, DO NOT PULL YOUR BATTERY!!!
I need to flash mine, too....
This flashing radios **** always makes me nervous.

Pulling battery while updating radios WILL brick your phone...so like a few others have said DON'T PULL YOUR BATTERY

Got it. Phone charged no battery pull. Patience. Thanks for the quick response guys. Going to try it now. Hoping it goes well will let you know

Updating radio, Wimax, PRL, etc.

I was hoping someone could answer my question. Can you update prl from about phone while using a custom ROM (I'm currently running mikg 2.4)? The other question, more of a request, is could someone explain exatcly how to flash the radio, prl, etc zips by caulkin? Do you do this through the hboot screen like flashing amon-ra? I have been hesitant to update the radios cause I'm not really sure the proper steps and I read/was advised that if done incorrectly you could permabrick the device. If someone could post a step by step process (i have read and haven't been able to find instructions) that would be really awesome. Thanks in advance for the help/advice.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

You can only update the prl while one a sense rom, so mik g should be fine. Just go to updates in settings, then prl update.
Radio Flash:
-Download the radio/package you want
-place on root of sd card
b-boot into recovery
-wipe the cache and dalvik cache
-reboot

Yes, you can update PRL from a custom ROM. You can also update profile
For the radios, if your using the radios from Calkulin's thread, simply download, put on SD, wipe cache/dalvik cache, flash Radio(s), then click reboot
Your phone won't automatically reboot, you'll be redirected to a different screen in recovery. Once updates are complete, you can reboot your phone

I don't know why but I am nervous about updating my radio and wimax. I guess because there is no real answer on if it is better than the one my Evo came with. Have heard some complaints that new radio and wimax is not as good as before, but everyones phone is different.
We can revert back correct? And as long as we have backup up wimax on Ra we should be good with our wimax keys? Say I flashed new wimax radio and it borked my wimax, how would I fix it?
Thanks and sorry for the thread jack but I think it pertains.

No, that's a great question, I was also wondering this and have heard the same things. I wish there was a thread that was an actual guide for this. I'd gladly put one together, with permission to use info of course, unless one of you awesome developers who is more knowledgable then I would like to. I know doing this update is simple for most, but for people with limited knowledge a simple step by step guide would be most helpful and appreciated I think.

there is not really a thread on it. each area is works different with each radio. i use the 07.07 GB and for me it has better reception and GPS lock. but it might be different for each person. best thing to do is load a radio and try it for a couple of days. if you notice its not as good as previous then just go back.
to flash a radio you do it in Hboot. make sure the zip is on the root directory of the SD card then boot into Hboot. if the file is named correctly ''PB31IMG.zip" then Hboot will see it and will ask you to update.

no worries. i guess someone posted an EVO 08.08 gb from a leaked build. i just flashed it and want to see how it goes. its not on this forum but i found it on rootzwiki

seeings how the EVO hardware and radio is identical to our phones they are interchangeable. if 07.07 works well you might want to try 08.08.

So, do you need to partition your SDcard before you flash a radio? I thought I read that somewhere...

That have nothing to do with flashing radios.
To flash a radio
1. Name the .zip file Exactly to
PB31IMG
2. Put the file in root of sdcard
3. Flash trough hboot

Radio downgrade?

Right so I got the new radios and the battery is terrible compared to the previous radios. So can I just flash the old ones and everything will be good? I'm just asking because I know in calks thread it says some radios are not able to be downgraded and I don't want to have a second bricked evo...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I'm pretty sure you can change to whatever radio you want. In that thread, the only things that say not downgradable are hboots. I would flash any radio the bootloader way and never ever do a battery pull during a radio flash.

I just went through the same thing. I upgraded to the radio and kernel from the latest OTA and I was seeing much less battery life. It could be just my imagination but I downgraded both to be sure. You could just downgrade the radio but you may want to reflash your kernel even if you are not downgrading the kernel. He has a note there that a radio flash sometimes required a kernel reflash. Then wipe cache and Dalvik as always before rebooting.
