OK - which RADIO do you have? - this is not clear.

You should try - Hard reset - install tomtom6.03 start up tomtom - sometimes for say 30s tomtom can say no GPS device - before the message changes to waiting for a valid GPS signal. Be patient.

Also search for "no GPS Trinity" here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all

you should find others with the same experience as you!

Good luck.

hi,
i have read in this forum, that any Radio ROM ending in 1 have GPS enable, so you must wait a litle time (1-2minutes) before your GPS program fix the GPS signal.

i have already replied you in the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1481772&posted=1#post1481772) where you posted this issue.. there's no need to double post this. I've posted the link to hard-spl 1.20

you need to use hard-spl 1.20 olipro to install your radio, 1.30 has resulted in radios not being flashed even though you follow all the steps.. there is a note about this in the guide if you read it carefully.

[usman3206]

RACERX i have flashed it with olipro 1.20 but still it shows no GPS device? even after 20 minutes of keeping tomtom on. should i upgrade rom to 1.40 GPS, i saw one on this forum. although i have downloaded it but it ROM update utility shows pretty strange words on its menu!!! what next

[racerx_]

what radio do you currently have

[nealed]

The problem is clearly that you radio ROM is not up to date - and that it why you don't have GPS.

[ehe333333]

hi buddy! I got it solved!!! Yes it's the problem of the radio, and seems that if your hard SPL version is 1.30, you are not able to flash the radio. everytime it seemed works but after flash the radio just remain the same.

read this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1483529#post1483529

there is a radio ROM with hard SPL which flashs the hard SPL first then the radio. I succesfully found the device and got GPS working yesterday!

No - reading is out of the question. What you have to do (especially if you are new) is just create a new thread - or if not post the same question in as many threads as you can find that are half relevant.;)

(This of course is cynical sarcasm. Please - do not do the above. I implore you all to READ - as you will find the answers. Also - when you find an answer to your question - try thanking the person who brought you the answer - instead of pretending that you found something new out)

i flashed using trinity info guide and used radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion "1.46.00.11 GPS" (but RUU shows strange wording on the menu when i launched it but didn't install it cause i wanted a go from u) available on this forum?

[racerx_]

my goodness... it says on the bottom of the guide in BRIGHT RED FONT "If you have followed these steps, but your radio has not been upgraded, please install Olipro's Hard-SPL version 1.20 found here using SSPL (do not enter bootloader manually) and try to flash your radio again. After doing so, it is recommended that you flash Hard-SPL 1.30 again."

i've now posted this info in the million noob threads as well... seriously ppl..

[usman3206]

RACERX you are the MAN, you really are an expert. Now my GPS device is working but searching for the signals as i am in Pakistan these days. Know of any south asian (pakistan or saudi arabia) maps available.
Besides tomtom, which one is the best GPS navigator? And if possible can u tell me where i can find information regarding using my laptops net connection for my PDA? i am an old user of computers (since 1991) but a newbee in the world of pocket pc, and its because of you that i could change completely my SFR s300+ into an english windows mobile 6. I will donate something for you man. I read many threads carefully but was wondering around untill you pulled me outg of this trouble.
Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH

glad it helped.. i'm not familiar with which map programs support pakistan. I use MapKing for Singapore where i am, and love it ... i don't see a pakistan map, but you can check http://www.mapking.com/en/MK10/MK10_Dowload_Eng.htm#Malaysia Tom Tom seems to be quite popular, but again i don't know what countries it supports. Maybe you could try garmin or something? I know that they at least support thailand and such.

about your net connection, you basically want to use your trinity as a bluetooth modem? I've never done it, actually, but i think there are some threads on it if you search around. sorry i can't be more help. let me know if you get stuck
