Replacement Phone

[iceryda]

I had a older rom version on my Verizon XV6800, I was able to get gps working by following this link: http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/ but it stop vibrating, it would only ring. I Took it the tech support, they determined I needed a replacement phone. I got a replacement phone with the following specs:

Windows Mobile 6.1
ROM version: 3.57.605.1
Rom Date 7/21/08
Radio Version: 3.37.75

Should I following this: http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/ to get my GPS working again or is there another method since this ROM is a new version

You have 2 choices, search for the thread in using gps with MR1, or flash it back to an older Verizon stock rom with Windows Mobile 6.0 and then follow the normal flashing thread to get it up to a custom 6.1 rom. The problem is MR1 disables GPS except for their own GPS app or the Valhala server that someone wrote.

Honestly I think it's best that you flash back to 6.0 and then upgrade normally thru the custom route so that more GPS tools work without running a 3rd party app.

good think is before flashing stock rom ,activate different phone then flash
after you done reactivate PDA so you dont have to call verizon to get a A-KEY

Why do you recommend to activate a different phone? I did not need a new a key when I went from MR1 to old stock version then to DCD.

when i flashed mine to old rom then dcd's first what i did. flashed bootloader ,radio rom ,and dcd's rom .using RUU via USB cable and i lost A-key .
i did not use SD card method

Hey Billy do u have walk thru for flashin back to 6.0 and then upgrading normally

Actually I don't have a Verizon phone, I only know what I stated based on other threads I have read.

I would check HTC's website, they may have an older stock rom listed still. If not, then I'm sure there is a Wiki on here somewhere with links to older roms.

As far as ability to flash, you may need to relock the phone first, I would wait for some other wiser VZW user to respond.

I unlock the device, flash a custom ROM and upgrade to a Sprint radio that will allow GPS..Took a while but Gps is now working. Now I need to get my picture messaging to work now. Any tips?

<REQUEST TO MODERATORS>

Hey all, can anyone update the Verizon aGPS fix article in the wiki to include this info? A lot of people see the links that send them to the wiki for the fix (having MR1 already on their phone, updated or bought that way) and the fix doesn't work (FRUSTRATING). It would save so much trouble if there was 1 line that said "If you have MR1 installed and want to upgrade to a custom rom w/GPS, downgrade to (link to original rom) and then upgrade to your choice." Apparently that is a big problem people run into (me included) and so much frustration would be avoided (as well as so much posting space). So, can anyone add/change that for us?
