After installing Synergy I cant update profile or prl.

I just installed Synergy RC1 and had been running CM7. I just tried to update profile and prl because since I have been using asop for 7 months I haven't updated anything but I get error 1012 could not be completed when trying to update either profile or prl. My signal has been weaker in last couple weeks so I decided to try sense rom so I could update. Whats the easiest way to update? Any help for a noob? Thanks Again!

That's the only way I know of, I think there may be flashable versions of the probably. Maybe try flashing a stock rooted rom and try to update
We're comin from a pure power source.

You know, a really good idea is to run the RUU on your phone, restore it to stock, root it, flash recovery and do a nandroid, so you have a stock, rooted nandroid you can flash back to whenever you need to update your PRL, etc.....

Good call on that
We're comin from a pure power source.

I do have a stock backup but was trying to avoid restoring and thats one of the reasons I came back to Sense so I could update. Are most people able to update their profile and prl while running Synergy RC1? Maybe it's a server issue in my area I'll try again later and if no go I'll restore stok rom. Are you able to update while using sense roms? Thanks Again!

As I recall that ROM supports all the EPST codes. Can you not do a ##775# in the dialer and enter your MSL? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you could update PRL that way...

I and a couple of friends cannot do updates with synergy. As the post above mention...do a backup of stock rooted..I use sprint lovers...restore and update then restore synergy back. No more time than to drink a cup of coffee...

I was able to perform the PRL and PRI updates after rebooting into recovery (AmonRA) and clearing Cache and Dalvik again. Also, make sure you're using wireless network, not WIFI. Also, this was addressed in the Synergy threads.

Just did what you told...no dice....are you using rc1 or a nightly?

It works with MikG 2.2 Sense 2.1 ROM. Great ROM by the way
Make sure you are not Roaming when you update Profile or PRL.

I had this problem the first time I flashed synergy. I ended up rewiping everything 3 times, then used format all 3 times, partitioned sd card to ext3 then flashed rom along with the carousel and widget zip. Rom now works flawlessly and updates work fine!

This worked for me too, thankfully, just got everything set up like I want and its running great didnt want to have to wipe and reflash. (until my new sd card gets here and I can do a backup - out of space on my current card )

If you guys are having trouble on synergy, go into ##3282# choose edit then enter you msl. Goto data profile, and hit menu, then restore, then commit changes, then reboot. Worked for me every time!

So I did this, and then it after reboot it tried to do hands free OTA, failed, and left me without data connection. In phone update, I still recieved 1012 error on both profile and prl under both wifi on and wifi off.
I'm at present doing a nand restore.

So after nand restore, hard reboot, cache and dalvik wipe and reboot, error still occurs. I now have no 3g service. Anyone have any idea how to fix this sans calling sprint?

I ran into this issue when attempting to update my profile and it was due to the fact that I was hooked up to my WIFI. Once I disabled my WIFI, I ran the update profile and it took less then a minute to complete.
As for the prl, I switched over to amon-ra because clockwork gave me problems. Hopefully this helps you out. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button.

[Q] HT Wildfire GPS Problem

Hi guys.
I flashed my HTC with CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Wildfire V7.1.0.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143125 and when I finished, the GPS wasn't working.
I flashed the radio again, and still it's not working...
Any clue?

you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447591

Try flashing Jacob kernal

Try this method, it helped me:
bharat_xda19 said:
First install cm7 and then make a nandroid backup of it. Then wipe everything and restore the previous nandroid backup of stock froyo rom (or any rom with working gps) and use gps to capture your location. Then again wipe everything and restore the cm7 backup. Now gps will be working. And once gps on cm7 works, then even after a hard reset it still works. This seems to be an issue only when freshly installing cm7. This is definitely a safe method.

*make sure your battery is fully charged before updating radio*
1. download all 3 versions of radios to the phones sd card (place it in root map).
2. (download and) open ROMManager.
3. scroll down and go to >> All ClockwordMod Recoveries (next: CWM).
4. Downgrade your CWM to version: 2.5.0.7 (this is important because as far as I know it the only CWM version you can manually update radio version without getting an error).
5. After downgrading, scroll up and go to >> Reboot into recovery
6. clear dalvik chache
6. Install radio version 13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 instead of 3.35.20.10
7. reboot phone, you will now have perfect working GPS, WIFI and Signals, if not, try other 2 radio versions. Mind that the GPS Icon changed.
8. Open ROMManager again and download and install latest version of CWM again.
When 3.35.19.25 works, you can reflash to 3.35.20.10. Most of the times GPS will still work and you have the updated radio as well.
Try this, helped to me

[FIX][JB]GPS Workaround for Jellybean

Revamped the entire OP to make it relevant for current roms.
Many users of the Epic 4g Touch have reported various GPS inconsistencies. While this seems to happen more frequently on AOSP-based ROMs (CyanogenMOD, PAC-man, Evervolv, AOKP, etc), it has been reported on TouchWiz-based ROMs as well. Below are a few tips and tricks to help fix your GPS.
FIRST: You will need the necessary tools to troubleshoot the problem.
Google Maps - The app we will use to determine if GPS works properly or not.
GPS Status (Optional) - Provides additional information about GPS performance. This shows how many satellites are in view, coordinates, heading, and other useful information as well. This can help to confirm wether you have a GPS problem or are just in an area without GPS reception.
SECOND: You will need the tools to fix the problem.
- Root-capable file browser (ES File Explorer is my personal preference)
- Mobile ODIN (Free version is available on XDA, but Pro is well worth it, as well as supporting Chainfire, one of the most respected devs in the Android community)
THIRD: You will need some files saved to your sd card. These will be flashed in recovery or Mobile ODIN.
- The EL26+CWM recovery kernel.
- Any Jellybean ROM you want to run.
***For TouchWiz ONLY* Agat's 0.3.0 GB27 Kernel with tREC custom recovery.
- A working GPS.conf (explained later)
- Goddly's ComaDose tweaks (not required if you use a standalone GPS.conf, but highly recommended. See his thread for details.)
FOURTH: You will need these files on your sdcard to temporarily return to stock if needed.
- The EL29 CWM5 Directboot Kernel
- The EL29 Tempboot ROM
METHODS:
I will post each method of fixing GPS, in order of time investment. Test GPS with Google Maps (and optionally GPS Status) after EACH METHOD. Please provide feedback on which method worked for you so that I may improve this guide further.
Method 1 - GPS Toggle
Try this first. It only takes about 10 clicks to do the whole thing, and it saves you from having to flash anything if it works.
1. Close Maps and any other location aware apps. Make sure to clear them from Recents to ensure that they are fully closed.
2. Go the your Location tab under Settings. Toggle GPS satellites off and on, then toggle Location as well (System Settings>Location Access>Access to my Location). This should result in a popup asking if apps can have your permission to use GPS.
Method 2 - New GPS.conf
All thanks to Goddly for allowing me to use his gps.conf.
Sometimes, the GPS.conf file on your phone can become corrupted or otherwise unusable. This will prevent you from locking on to any satellites, even though you may have one (or several) in view.
1. Make sure you have a working GPS.conf on your phone. This can be a standalone GPS.conf like the one attached to this post (extract the zip first!), or it can be one contained in a tweak package such as Goddly's ComaDose v1.4
2. Copy & paste the working gps.conf into /System/App using your root file browser.
3. Set permissions to the gps.conf to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
4. Reboot.
5. After booting, toggle Location (triggering the popup).
Method 3 - Lock on Stock
This is a tried-and-true method that was most frequently used in the early days of CM10. It is usually not needed anymore, but I am keeping it in just in case.
1. In Mobile ODIN, flash the EL29 CWM5 Directboot kernel.
2. Reboot, you should automatically wind up in recovery. If you do not go to recovery, pull the battery, wait 10-15 seconds, replace the battery, and hold vol+ and power.
3. Flash the EL29 Tempboot ROM (This will be in the Multiboot folder on your SD card, assuming you followed the instructions in the link above.)
4. You should automatically boot into stock EL29 Gingerbread.
(Optional) 4 1/2. Update Profile and PRL (if desired, you can't do this on AOSP so you might as well do it now)
5. Open Google Maps and get a GPS lock (you will likely need to be outside to get a good lock). Sometimes it helps to navigate to a random place.
6. ***WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A GPS LOCK***, power down the phone, then hold vol+ and power until you boot to recovery.
7. In recovery, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache.
8. Flash your ROM of choice.
9. Reboot.
Please reply to this thread with any questions/issues/feedback.

Thanks....will try it.

if you didnt get a good copy your multiboot wont work. Try downloading the file directly to your phone, and unzip it to the root of your internal with zarchiver.
Edit: apparently zarchiver can't extract to the root, or the system.IMG won't copy to the multiboot folder correctly. Try copying it again with your computer. Make sure it's on the root of your internal, not in /sdcard/ or on your external.
Failing that, nandroid your cm10, flash a tw-based gingerbread ROM with cwm5 recovery, get a GPS lock, reboot to recovery, flash cm10, reboot recovery, then restore your nandroid while on cwm6
Edit 2: what ROM are you on when trying to mount USB storage? It won't work on tw ICS or jb, and it might be disabled on aosp (Settings>storage > menu > USB computer connection > USB mass storage)

I was wanting to try this, but had a couple questions before I tried it:
Is the wipe of /data really necessary, or does it just help things run better?
Will this work on CWM6?
Also, with the PACman builds after 1/12, you don't have to flash Paranoid Preferences seperately.

1: Technically no, but a /data wipe is always recommended. If you have issues after this procedure, wiping /data is your first step to fixing them.
2: You start out on the cwm6 included in our AOSP kernel. You flash the el29 cwm5 directboot kernel with mobile odin, then flash the el29 multiboot (which requires the el29 kernel). When you are done with your prl updates/gps fix/dialer codes, you then reboot recovery and flash your AOSP 4.1 again, which puts you back on the AOSP kernel that includes cwm6.
Updated OP.

Does it matter that AOSP ROMS now use /sdcard instead of /emmc for the internal card? I tried the steps (without any clearing of cache or data, doh) and it just bootlooped. I was just wondering if that would be a factor?

Talking about the multi boot I assume? It goes in /sdcard/. This is the root of the phone's internal storage when mounted as USB mass storage via PC.
I don't even remember when AOSP last used /emmc/...July I think? Alpha CM9 I think. Before Chris41g started releasing like 5 test builds a day. At any rate, long before jellybean, which is what this guide is for.
And don't forget to wipe the things, or you will have problems.

/sdcard IS the internal storage. The actual SD card mounts to /external_sd. I realized this after 45 minutes of trying to make a multiboot folder in / unsuccessfully.

*facepalm* You are correct. My mistake.
I was thinking root of internal storage when phone is mounted via USB. I could never get the multiboot to extract entirely on the phone, it would just freeze for a while, then force close ES, then eventually reboot.
The correct path (when flashing) is /sdcard/multiboot/EL29/Boot_EL29.zip. So make sure your install matches this, or you will have problems.

Tried it again, this time via Mobile Odin instead of desktop Odin and it worked great! Updated my modem to FL24 and then updated PRL and profile. Thanks for the instructions and the help!

Hello, I have tried fixing my gps lock with this method three times. I even "one clicked" back to EL29 rooted for a fresh(er?) start. While in the EL29 temp boot, I can get either a 9/9 or 10/10 GPS lock( all three attempts), power down while in the lock (using google navigation), and follow the rest of the steps. Once I flash back to my CM10.1, or a clean install of 10.1, I start up GPS Status, and it tells me 0/2 sattelites locked. What is odd is that the two it tries to connect to changes every second or so to another random sattelite. So I see something like 21->03->18->12->30->14->22->32 etc. Any tips? Would flashing a new modem help? I originally had FL24 (i think) when I tried this method the first two times, and EL29 the third time (because Odin One Click reset it back to EL29).
EDIT: oh I realize this method works for 4.1.2, but would it also work for CM10.1, which is 4.2?

sorry for the delayed response. This method should work for CM10.1, but I have not tested it personally. Post your results and let everyone know if it works for you.

Re: [FIX][JB]GPS Workaround for AOSP-Based 4.1.2
I did OP fix with el29 with no success. (Used to work for me)
However..
After trying a few ROMs. I noticed I could update prl/profile in jellyverse v.4 (FL26) and get a lock. At this point curiosity struck so I Mobil Odin cwm el26, wiped data/cache/dalvik **skipped format all zip** and I flashed a JB aosp ROM and ICS modem. Long behold I can get GPS locks on my favorite ROM now.
So if el29 doesn't work for you (It did at one point for me but not anymore) try this method. It worked for me. :thumbup:

sorrry for my late reply too, . The problem seems to be in the CM10.1 rom itself, because there are others in the thread (edit: the "wild for the night CM10.1 thread) that have the same situation as me. Actually the gps is locking correctly, with an error of 3 meters, its just GPS Status and other gps apps (like Ulysse) can not report correct lock information. Instead it shows spazzing attempts to lock to different sattelites. Hope this info works!
tl;dr: GPS locks even though apps dont report it locking in CM10.1

Did you try to backup your current rom, flash a cm10 rom then go back into your recovery (I'll assume twrp) and then restore the rom that you are currently on? That method fixed me up as another way to fix gps but it may not work for others.
Just a thought.

No GPS lock on HTC One PrimoU after flashing

My device is an HTC One V Primo U
I've unlocked the bootloader and flashed:
Recovery: CWM
ROM: shpongle_primou-20130521
Kernel:boot-HELLBOY-20130514
I'm not getting a GPS lock. With wifi and mobile network location enabled I get an approximate location but GPS never locks. With wifi and mobile network location disabled I get no location at all. GPS Test app shows no satellites in range. I tried running fix permissions with no change. I also tried restoring back to the stock ROM but its hanging on the boot animation. Any tips for troubleshooting this would be great!

When returning back to stock you must flash the stock kernel again

Is your gps.conf file setup for your area?
Are you running CrossBreeder by chance? I had the same kind of issues with it.
And you don't need stock kernel for stock rom. You can use TK kernel. Hellboy is for 4.1 and up.
Did you do a full wipe before restoring your stock?

I'm not familiar with setting up gps.conf. How does it need to be set up? I'm not sure if this is the issue because the GPS Test app I'm using isn't showing a value from the magnetometer either.
I'm not running CroosBreeder.
I wiped the dalvik and and data before restoring a nandroid backup of the stock ROM. Would that not restore the kernel too?

Those might not be the issues. Your gps.conf file is in your etc folder. I live in Canada so mine has
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=ca.pool.ntp.org
I've attached a zip with GPS conf files for all areas, pulled from suprimo. Hope thats ok.
The one V dosen't have a magnetometer as far as I know thats a compass.
Have you tried an RUU?

Thanks Bandit97,
I edited my gps.conf and my GPS locks within seconds.
Can't believe I didn't think of that.
Thank you

No fix even after changing the gps.conf
Hello!. I am from Asia and changed the config file. still there is no fix. sometimes i get one satellite lock in North America setting but never on Asis settings. Further more does these setting mean anything if i always use the internal GPS but not combining with AGPS? Do you have any alternative solutions?
