[Q] CM10.2 GPS Lock problems

Hey guys,
So a couple of weeks ago, I got a One and I unlocked everything and put CM10.2 on it. Yesterday, while needing the navigation to try and get un-lost, I couldn't get my phone to get a GPS lock at all, even while having a clear view of the sky and everything. I am running CM10.2 and CWM 6.0.4.5. I have already tried clearing and redownloading the AGPS data and that didn't help. So I found a comment saying that I should flash back to stock and change the location settings and the preferred network setting to see if that changes anything.
I found the stock ROM .zip on this forum, 1.10.605.10 (4.2.2/5.0) and tried flashing it after checking the MD5. That ended up not working at all, it starts but then fails saying that it can't open the update .zip and also says "(bad)".
Now I am trying to download 2.10.605.1 (4.3/5.0) and I will try that tomorrow.
The reason I posted is to ask 1) if anyone was able to fix the GPS problems without having to flash back to stock and 2) what I needed to do to flash back to stock if that's the only option that I have? I don't want to mess anything up and I am still kind of inexperienced at this.
Thanks!

The only option is to flash back to Stock to fix your GPS issues. You probably need to use a different recovery either from TWRP or Clockwork depending on the one that doesn't work to flash it.

[Q] 4.3 Soft Brick Fix

Hey guys, i just made an account just to see if there's any solutions or fixes to this problem i have. I flashed MJC 4.3 on my phone and i noticed that the Wifi wouldn't turn on, at first too i didn't have any signal so i flashed the modems that the thread has provided. I searched everywhere for a solution but i can't find one that works, i tried flashing another rom while fully factory restoring everything but no luck at all. Can anyone help me?
In the same thread there is a ATT unlocked kernel. Flash it along with that Rom.

Was this a couple of days ago or so? There was a day when someone broke every CM device. If not, you can always try a factory reset first.
If you have a backup, restore it and then install the latest nightly.
If you don't have a backup, well, now you know why you should have made one... Download the latest nightly on your computer and do one of:
* adb push it to your device
* adb side load it
* put it on a USB disk and use a usb-otg cable
And install it. If that doesn't work, factory reset it.
I did not use my tab for a few days and i connected it today with the wifi and got the notification for a update which i installed.
2 weeks ago i did a factory reset already because i wanted to go back to stock firmware so i guess i don't have a back up anymore?
I am new to rooting etc so i don't exactly know how everything works but i know i have made backups with titanium back up and TWRP etc.
I just did a factory reset with TWRP and thank god it is functioning normally again.
Thanks for your quick responding!
I still want to go back to stock firmware so does anyone know where i can get the stock firmware?
I am from the Netherlands so i don't know if i need another firmware than someone from another country.
Thanks,
Gunnar

[Q] Bricked After Software Update

Hey Guys
So I was rooted with a Kitkat 4.4.2 Custom rom "SR Remix" and T-mobile pushed the lollipop OTA updated to my phone. I did the stupid thing of restarting and installing, From there my phone only reboots into the TWRP menu.
I've tried flashing the old kitkat rom, and also restoring my phone via LG flash tool using the TOT file. However this does nothing. I keep getting a can't switch to downloading and then the flashing fails. I have tried all the methods that forum have to offer but still not luck?
Can Anyone help.
Thanks
GH
Well. Soon after I posted this I decided to use the .kdz method and it worked...

T-Mobile IMEI/baseband gone...help!

My mom has had a z2 force for almost 2 years...no issues, now all of a sudden data and wifi are gone and the phone doesn't have an IMEI. Seemingly after an ota update. As it's already old o figured I'd try to flash a rom to fix. I've tried returning to stock with the most recent flash all, the last flash all, tried installing lineage, tried installing 10 potato...nothing is working! Anything else I can try to get this working again???
I also tried to run other flashalls from xda, but didn't see a .bat file in the zip file....only a flash file...is there something else I'm missing? Sorry I'm not really proficient in motos
Mom wasn't dabbling in the dark arts known as pie was she? If not then you should be able to flash the latest TMO firmware then do a factory reset from recovery to restore the baseband.
She was still on Oreo when everything happened .....I attempted to flash the latest firmware, but still no luck...that's when I tried to install a pie rom---no luck there either

The trick to restoring baseband is the factory reset from recovery, not a reset from settings or anything else. As for trying to flash a pie rom, hopefully it was just a rom and not a pie firmware. If anything took from a pie firmware you might be sol.
It was just a rom, no pie firmware at all. I tried restarting from recovery and everything to no avail...is there a specific flashall you would recommend? I tried both the March and August T-Mobile ones...don't know if anyone has had success with a different one?
