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.
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.
Hello,
I upgraded my international LG to Lollipop. After a few days I decided to wipe and reinstall my firmware because of battery drain. Well, my phone is booting but I lose my signal every few seconds. Neither another reset nor restoring my nandroid backup is helping.
Can I do something else?
Edit:
Well, I managed to fix it after hours of searching. I just flashed the KK modem and it works great, even with Lollopop. Strange, but now I can actually call someone with my phone
If someone else has got this problem, I used the KK modem from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-lollipop-rooted-rom-skin1980-t2936022
You are on the wrong modem.
Either you are on a L rom with a KK modem, or a KK rom with an L modem - you need to flash a modem that matches your firmware.
Someone showed me the thread with the 12.1 cm rom and the .img for the recovery is it okay if I use flashify to put the recovery on my phone instead of using odin after rooting? Or does someone have a .tar recovery for the L520 in a drop box somewhere? also do I need to update my firmware before flashing a rom? I think I'm on firmware na7 on 4.2.2
it's fine, trust me use flashify. Odin doesn't flash .img files. No, you don't need to update your firmware, it's going to be flashed over anyways.
Seemed to work fine. That cm 12.1 rom still working okay for you?
There's a few little annoyances but it's working okay otherwise. I get an exclamation point by my bars sometimes and have to reset the apn to fix it. GPS has some issues so it's become more a roadmap than actual guidance and I can't send mms but that's not really an issue as I have unlimited data and can just facebook messenger as a workaround. I hope that these issues get fixed but I understand that alot of 5.1 roms have issues with the exclamation point thing and even some unrooted 5.1 phones have the problem. It would be nice to see a fix for these issues but I don't see anyone making any more roms for this phone and the guy that made this rom seems to have landed a job with cyanogenmod and is too busy to update this rom. What a shame but at least I have 5.1 now.
Hmm I suppose I'll stay at 4.2.2 till I feel like flashing 12.1 thanks for all the info. You don't have any overheating issues or random restarts right? Also how does the GPS not work well?
No overheating or random restarts. All things considered its a pretty smooth rom if just a little incomplete. I only tried using the GPS once and it came up with my location and the route for where I needed to go but when i was driving along the GLS was not updating my location. It may have been just a one time thing, idk, I havent needed to use GPS since.
Cool do you know a way to go back to stock if I don't like the cm 12.1 rom?
Hi all, I have a note 2 shg-i317 that was originally on Bell in Canada. It was unlocked and the aws mod done to it, I use freedom mobile, aka T-mobile in the states.
I was running a Rom for the past 3 years Slimfast 4.4 and liked it. I had tried Nugat on another phone, thought I would try the [ROM][7.1.2][OFFICIAL] LineageOS for N7105
I did the upgrade, broke the root, could not get a few things working, so I decided to restore the Slimfast backup I had just made (complete including modem etc) and everything works except the GPS.
GPS for me is huge, I use it a lot. I cannot lock on to 1 satellite now. Before i was able to lock onto a minimum of 16 in about 30-45 seconds, if outside.
I really dont care if I can get to 7.1 at the moment. I need my GPS back - any troublshooting for getting GPS to work on this phone?
James
I would try to flash the original stock for your phone and country from sammobile. com
Gps should work normaly then. If not your hardware is broken. If it works you can always flash your data back from your Slimfast rom.

Crap, I am posting here, because I did it again. Again not sure how. I tried to run Reserection, and I guess that messed up the GPS.
To put the original stock rom on.. I have to do that through ODIN? I dont remember how I fixed this last year.. Sorry.
Hope somone can help I need the GPS.
James
ps. Used odin 3.09 to flash the original rom... still no GPS
You flashed the latest 4.4.2 room?

The Rom that I flashed to try and restore the GPS was I317MVLUDNF1_I317MOYADNF1_BMC (mine was an originally BELL phone)
But that did not repair the GPS from me flashing resurection.. I THINK did it. I flashed an android 6 and an android 7 rom. (Mokee) but tried to go back to my Slimfast.. and the GPS was now broken.
Basically what I did a year ago.. somehow I fixed it then.. but cannot remember at all how I did it.
James
The note 2 sold by Rogers, Bell, and Telus are exactly the same model and stock roms from these carriers can be cross flashed.
Try flashing the stock ROM twice in Odin with a factory reset in between each flash.

Do you mean boot up the rom.. run the reset in the rom? or flash.. - load TWRP back in.. WIPE.. then FLASH again with odin?
Thanks for helping btw.
James
I have backups (complete all partitions) of my rom.. Slimfast 4.4 from 2-3 days ago.. when I tried this. SO.. if I can get the Factory rom to restore the GPS.. how can I restore the backup.. I saw somewhere that the EFS partition could be left out and that might help? dont restore the modem? how??
James
I meant flash with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, flash again with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, and boot into the stock ROM.
Nope, still no GPS lock.. I have the flashing circle (always had) and it will not lock.. I read about where people go into a service mode and rebuild the NV? .. I assume this is something that Mokee or Reserection did.. not sure how.
Any other ideas?
James
what about using Odin or TWRP to put different modems in? does the modem effect the GPS?
tried this.. does not seem to. grrrrr wish I knew how I fixed this.
James
I assume there are no loose wires. Does it get a lock when using wifi? Not sure what else to suggest.
Not sure about rebuilding NV.
No.. I broke it with playing with custom roms.. Liniage was last year.. I did not try that this year.. but tried both android 6 reserection and android 7 Mokee.. and I am pretty sure they messed it up.. I am also pretty sure there was something I did .. easy like load an old STOCK rom and it fixed it.. I was then able to put my slimfast 4.4 back over it and it was fine. Unfortunatly .. not enough people still using this device.. I will have to have patience I guess.
James
So I have tried differenct stock roms, but I think the issue is ODIN will not restore code from a rom image that is HARDWARE based. I wanted to use Samsung smartswitch but they disabled the part of it that allowed you to factory reset the phone, this seemed to work for several people. Many have also reported entering a code and going into a service mode.. there you can do to a menu that will rebuild hardware modules back to default. But I have not been able to get into that mode because it seems to be a touchwiz only option, and I cannot find a factory rom that is touchwiz based for this model.
What needs to be done is a true FACTORY ROM image.. that would revert all software and hardware back to original, but I cannot seem to find that anywhere.
James
The only factory roms that I know of come from places like sammobile.com and they are all based on TouchWiz which is Samsung's launcher.
So guess what? put Ressurection back on.. and the GPS is back.
I cannot get it to work in any KitKat based rom.. but now anything Marshmellow up.. works.. HMMMMMM
