GPS Driver Dummies Thread

I didn't want to hijack, this thread wth my problems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294113

I know that the less technical members like myself should just wait until you guys sort develope things,,

But, I am very keen

Anyway, I hope I am not thie only person having problems, any advice would be very much appeciated

This is what I have done,

Copied VRdriver.dll to the windows directory
Unloaded com6
Unloaded Ril
Import Serial and VR Serial reg entries using taskmgr
Run Trusted.cab file
I do a soft reset
Com6 starts automatically, now showing VRDriver.dll (all ok up to this point)
Try to start RIL - error message - Device Load Error The operation completed sucessfully.

I have even tried a hard reset and starting from scratch, but I just can't get RIL to start.

As per the other thread I have changed the order of RIL from 3 to 4 and this is saved in the registry, but it just won't start.

Any ideas.. would appreciate help not complaints..

Thanks Guys

you dont need to soft reset your device... just use task manager to stop COM6 and RIL, copy the dll and import the reg files and start the services again...

My advice from a non developer but one who reads the threads:

Wait until the 4 or 5 satellites are actually picking up enough strength to get a fix, which probably wont happen unless you do a hardware mod which isnt even figured out yet.

First, thanks for taking this out of the development thread tbern123. Nicely done :)

Let me get this straight: When you cold reset, you still don't have a radio and RIL doesn't start?

If this is the case then your problem has nothing to do with the VRSerial driver or the GPS installation.

I can get Com 6 to load now, but still no luck with RIL.... I think I will leave it and just follow the other threads until a solution is found..

Thanks for your help guys
