Sorry for posting this here, but I lost my account and I can´t post this on the specific thread (Phoenix ROM)
After flashing a custom ROM, my gps is no longer locking, and I tried pretty much everything.
Then I wanted to try this:

Thought I post this method on a different way to get GPS back from flashing from different ROMs. When I lost it, a fresh Odin install did not fix GPS. Basically nothing worked; clear maps data, Google. Servicesframework, tightening all my screws, gps fix it apps, etc.. Tried them all.
Then I came across a post that was in a att s3 thread started by "egyptshun"
So shout outs to him.
[QUOTE/]if you dont see your gps icon on status bar. there is problem on your gps chip.
becouse that was happend to me my I747. im more confused about it.
i try more things like rom change,, firmware upgrade,, orginal samsung updates,, etc,, no more fix
after i go to the samsung service mode *#197328640#
then go to mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD>finish and dont exit menu
wait 30 sec
long press power button and select restart..
thats all
now check your GPS from gps software...

But when I press send after the code I get the error "Connection problem or invalid MMI code". I searched for this and everybody says that this problem appears when you are not using a Touchwiz Dialer, but I am (Phoenix ROM is TW based)
Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do?

Hi All,
First time rooting and running custom ROMs so bear with me. Flashed CM 7.1 stable and when I try to go to google maps it cant find my location. Tried to flash the qualcomm 1.1 drivers but no success either. Tried applying those location configuration files for US that another thread suggested but no success either.
Anyone else successfully install the 7.1 stable and fix GPS issues?
Thanks for the help!
Hopefully, you made a nandroid of your stock setup, but you need to be in a Sense ROM, specifically a stock Sense ROM, d/l GPS Status and MSL Reader from the market, and run MSL Reader and get your MSL. Go to maps. Get a lock. Open GPS Status, get a lock.
Go to dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#. Use the MSL for the password, your phone will reboot.
Open Maps and GPS Data again, and get your locks.
Go to Recovery, flash CM and then op0en maps and GPS Status again. You should have your locks
Yeah, basically flash (or nandroid restore) a backup of a sense ROM. Enter ##GPSCLRX# in the dialer and enter your msl code as the password. You can find your msl code through the market. Also use GPS status. Go to Google maps, get a lock on your location, restore your cm7 nandroid. This is the only thing that worked for me on cm7 but it seemed temporary, which is why I'm on MIUI now.

Hi,
I'm sorry if i'm at the wrong place, but i'm kinda stuck...
This is my probleme : I got a SGH-t889V (with the candadian Carrier Videotron), yesterday was my first try to root and install a custom ROM (my mistake!)
I installed a ROM uncompatible with my device...the omega 6.1 (compatible with N7100 but bot with my device i think...), well what happened after that is that i lost my network, no cellular signal...no imei anymore...nothing, just stuck with a big mp3 player
I finally was able to got my network back...by flashing the modem and read a lots of post on this forum, i made a restore from my nandroid backup, but now, when i boot my cellphone, i Got the message "Factory test stop"...
I tried everything, flashed many times...format everything possible! but still...
I even tried a FULL format factory reset with the commande *XXXX*XXXX# and the message is still there...
I read that there is a command i can put in /efs/factoryapp/factorymode but it's not working... i still got the message.
It's not very a big problem in fact, cuz i got the network working but there are many things who don't like my alarm clock, the lock screen, the power button initially give me access to a menu to reboot, silence or shutdown, now it only shutdown the phone.
So anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance
Alex
Did you try ODIN to stock firmware....there is a package for SGH-T889V

Yo just bought a "new" s3 and the gps doesn't work. I say "new" because i looked at the flash counter before i rooted the phone and it said 1.
Anyways, I read through some of these threads and tried the screw tightening, that didn;t work.
I factory reset the phone, that didn;t work.
Tried topntp, that didn;t do anything..
tried other gps fix apps and nothing.....
I am a little afraid of opening up the phone to play around with gps antenna...
Has anybody found any luck with flashing a stock rom to fix this problem.
Any other suggestions please fill me in. I would really like to have a working gps.
I am running a Samsung S3
i747m
Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - vldmf1
Let me know if you need any more information about the software/firmware

1. Easiest and most reliable way. Try this first!
Enter the Samsung service mode by typing this code into the dial pad *#197328640#
Then go to Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD> (Important: don't exit the menu yet!)
Wait 30+ sec
Long press power button and select "Restart / Reboot"
Now check your GPS from any software that may use GPS like "Maps" or "GPS Status"
Holy ****! You are a genius! That fixed the problem legit!
Whats the logic behind this?
Hello XDA,
As many of you have been flashing custom ROMs; some of you have had an issue regarding broken mobile data/LTE/GPS has arisen. I too had this same issue when I was flashing ROMs and decided to post my fix. This is a guide that MAY fix your problem. NO GUARANTEES
For this to work properly you MUST be on a STOCK TW ROM. I used S3R.x's ROM but you can use whatever works for you. After you have gone back to a Stock TW ROM follow the steps outlined below:
1. Enter the Samsung service mode by typing this code into the dial pad *#197328640#
2. Then go to Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD> (Important: don't exit the menu yet!)
3. Wait 30+ sec
4. Long press power button and select "Restart / Reboot"
5. Now check your GPS from any software that may use GPS like "Maps" or "GPS Status"
6. Flash your favorite ROM and go about your merry way!

Again this is a fix that worked for me and may not work for everyone. Also if any of this info is wrong or needs corrections, I am always open to suggestions! :highfive:
I get a connection problem or invalid MMI code error.
I can still make phone calls and sends and receive texts though.

Worked wonders on stock rom after 4.4.2 update. had lost all gps and glonass, now the reset has brought my phone back from almost being thrown out of a 3 story high window to the ground. I also reset gps from the GPS Status app as well and downloaded the Xtra data and a-gps data. locks in seconds now. Thanks so much for the assistance.

Hi
XDA newbie, still learning where everything is! I posted this question in the general help thread but got no replies, then I found this section so please pardon the repost
I have a rooted Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (t0lte I think) running Samsung Stock software 4.4.2. I have previously installed various version of CyanogenMod and Ditto Note, and somewhere along the line have lost my GPS functionality! Running CWM recover, not sure what version off the top of my head. The exact issue is that when I turn GPS on, it shows the "searching" symbol endlessly and will not lock to any satellites.
I have tried reflashing the modem and every GPS fix app that I've seen suggested on forums, and it still will not lock my location by GPS. Power saving (wi-fi and mobile network) location still works.
From my research, I believe the NV Rebuild method (listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211690) is what I need to do in order to fix the problem. However when I access the hidden dialer menu and select NV Rebuild it tells me "Not Support in Custom Binary!" Other people have had this issue and posted asking for help in the thread, but nobody replied or helped them.
As I mentioned, I am running stock Samsung software, not a custom ROM. The phone is rooted, and I do have a few Xposed modules installed. I also used Triangle Away and my bootloader shows the device status as Samsung Official. It also showed Official in settings when I tried to run the NV Rebuild. As far as the information went, this should be all I needed to make NV Rebuild work, but it still gave the custom binary error.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get around this? Do I need to completely unroot my phone and reflash a vanilla copy of Samsung 4.4.2 before it will work, or is there a workaround to make the service menu read my phone as official and run the NV Rebuild?
Any thoughts or ideas would be HUGELY appreciated as this issue has been driving me mental! (Please let me know if you need further information and I will try to provide it ASAP)
Thanks in advance!
