It DOESN'T work for Froyo.
Turn off "Use Wireless Networks" & "Wifi" then try.
I bet you wont get anything, also show your GPS Test
It will zero out

ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT FOR 2.2 FROYO ROMS!!! IF YOU FLASH THIS ON 2.2 IT WILL BREAK YOUR GPS AND QUITE POSSIBLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!!

It says JI2 right in the title so I am not sure why you would think it works with 2.2. I have added this disclaimer to the OP just in case.

The explanation is quite simple, really. All of these people rushing to apply the holy grail of fixes, and they end up hosed because they were too excited to slow down and pay attention.

Like my Uncle Jethro Love would equate it to is this: The young buck earns a hundred dollars. He's still a virgin. His buddies take him downtown in the hopes of scoring a lady for the night. He gets so excited at the first one he sees, he rushes her to a motel, hands over all his money, then is surprised to discover that the she is really a he and now has an 8" woody headed his way.

Slow down guys, or you'll be left holding the tree trunk!

My input:

I read this thread in desperation and decided to flash anyway. It worked very nice. I went from 0 satellites to now 5 on a very cold cloudy day.

I'm on Macnut R12 Froyo and finally have GPS lock. Thanks.

I forgot to read "ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT FOR 2.2 FROYO ROMS!!! IF YOU FLASH THIS ON "

Hi,

I was over excited and forgot to read "ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT FOR 2.2 FROYO ROMS!!! IF YOU FLASH THIS ON 2.2 IT WILL BREAK YOUR GPS AND QUITE POSSIBLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!!". I flashed it, thankfully it didn't brick my phone but it did break my GPS. Its not showing the GPS symbol on the notification bar at all. I am using a Samsung Vibrant, jail broken, rooted and updated to Froyo.

Is there anything I can do to get back to the old state?

Thanks in advance.

Jail broken?! Hopefully you made a nand backup. If not, you may have to factory reset or flash again

Need Help!! I screwed my GPS with this update.

Hi Guys, am still stuck with no GPS. am not being able to get back my GPS at all. Is there anyway I can get it to the previous state?

I tried resetting it to the factory settings. It didn't work. Can someone tell me how to revert back to the stock ROM? Hope atleast that would fix my GPS. Am still stuck with Android 2.2 and not being able to revert back to 2.1.

Or can anyone help me with some update which will revert the changes..

Please .. someone ..
Thanks a lot in advance..
