What version of PRI ar you using? (GPS testing issues)

[nelsongruebr]

Hi all!!!

I currently have 2.04_003 but I'm having really big trouble to lock on the satellites (30+ minutes, sometimes 1+hours :() so I'm wondrering which is the best PRI...

I have some friends with 2.03_003 and 2.00_004 and they lock on very fast... I'm talking about 10 secs...

Is there a way to change the PRI Version manually?? where can I faind them (I did some search in the forum with no luck)

thanks!!!

I do not know what PRI is but I have version 1.35_002 and I sometimes can never connect but most of the time when I prime it I get a connection within 2-3minutes

The PRI is seperate from the PRL, and it makes a huge difference on the GPS version.

Search PPC Geeks for the 2.03 PRI. I think it came from the kaiser or the vogue, but it works fantastic on my Sprint Mogul. 2.04 sucked for me.

The PRI is stored in a special NVram seperate from the ROM and Radio. It is updated by installing a .cab file, and then you run \windows\PPST.exe and it will flash it.

Sorry I don't have more direct info, but I just don't have the time to re-search for it right now.

Good luck!

Keep in mind that PRI can be/are carrier specific.

For example since Verizon has yet to release any updates for the XV6800 the only PRI that can be used is 1.35_002.

I had a feeling of that...thats why I didnt jump at the chance to change it....lol

Personally, I don't see that being an issue. But don't quote me on that. If anything, we can get the PPST file CAB out of that release and you can install and run it manually instead of doing a complete flash.

I am pretty sure I already updated your carrier cab with the latest Telus PRI. You should have an "update PRI" option in settings -> connections.

DCD... being that there is a "Test" update out there... could You PM me the "Update PRI" from the "Test" update for Verizon? You know... the PPST file CAB for the new Verizon update. That would solve my stupid "Roaming" issues on my Cloaned Sprint Mogul

DCD I would like that same test file if possible.

[dcd1182]

i do not have permission to release that.
from what gc14 has said, it disables your GPS anyways.

I would just use it to overwrite the Sprint PRI and get the ERI correct. Then I would redo it with the VZW original Stock rom... and then your wonderful DCD 3.2.5 and Radio 3.42.50

The VZW stock ROM does not include a PRI.
The VZW stock extrom contains a cab, "RadioRefurbish"
If you manage to flash a VZW Extrom and VZ stock ROM to your Mogul, RadioRefurbish will run during customizations.
However since your device was originally a Sprint Mogul, I believe that this would restore your default Sprint PRI.

You are correct on what you need, which is an actual PRI update from a verizon ROM update. However I cannot give this to you right now, and I am not sure you would be happy with it even if I could...

Yes. This I have tried. I even ran Radio Refurbish manually after I got everything working. It just reloaded the Sprint stuff.. to include the ESN.

Well... I just thought I'd ask. I haven't been using GPS, but tired of the Roaming. Wouldn't I be able to just run that PPST stuff...to fix the PRI/ERI... then reflash everything else... to include your carrier cab to fix anything that it could have messed up in regards to the GPS?

The PRI settings, including GPS enable/disable, are written as NV values that my carrier cabs cannot touch. I do not know how the verizon PRI is disabling GPS, I just took someones word for it. You may be able to turn it back on in QPST, I don't know.

Gotcha... well... if you need a guinny pig to test on the Sprint mogul cloaned to Verizon.... :D... I'd be happy to be that guinny pig. That CAB would be nice. :D

Ahh in that case I don't need it. I will need it when I move my moguls to verizon but by the time that happens the VZW update will most likelu be out.

Hello.

I tried the update pri from the connections menu and I got "PPST : backup EFS failed."

I'm on telus...

Any ideas?

[stanelie]

I just flashed with the latest telus update to get their updated PRI and then I flashed back to DCD.

Now, the GPS won't work at all, even though it is enabled in the dialer/location settings.

Any thoughts?
