So as the title states the offical ROM for verizon broke my gps for all the roms i have tried. Now this gets me wondering if the Official rom simply has some QPST tweaks to make it only work with VZ nav. But its quite annoying that i figured i would try the rom only to figure out that the GPS lockdown is NOT rom based. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this. Thanks!

Try dcd's baked rom. I flashed it and GPS started immediately, after vzw update.

From the info GC14 posted a while back it would seem that the new radio is to blame...at least that was my understanding. Flash one of the other radios and see if the GPS function is restored.

This is one of the reasons it wasnt leaked, there will undoubtedly be scores of people less familiar with flashing who "brick" or "break" their devices.
It is easy to get GPS back working after new VZW, but we need to get a fix the same method as Sprint; aGPS.
And, its not just QPST, there is a .dll in the way that requires vznav.

Guys, the reason your GPS is screwed is because of the PRI the update installed.
You need to go back to the stock bootloader (using Titan Relocker), then flash the original stock Verizon Rom letting the stock customizations run. This will roll you back to PRI 1.35. Once that's done, flash SPL 2.40/2.47 again followed by your custom rom/radio of choosing. You WILL have to reapply the Titan GPS Fix with QPST if you were using it prior to flashing the update.
Your GPS should be back to how it was after that.

PRI = Primary Rate Interface, correct? What does that have to do with GPS? Is the new ROM some how using the PRI for the aGPS or something? If this doesnt make senses its because I dont know what I am talking about and would love to learn the more technical side of this.
Thanks for any info GC.

No PRI = Preferred Radio Instructions. The radio has everything to do with gps.

Oh, Ok. Got it. Thanks!
As far as restoring GPS follow GC's instructions earlier. I did and I am good again.
