Hey guys, I found this on my weary travels after suffering from a completely failing GPS.
The advice I found inside the actual S5 port thread was to flash a stock ROM via ODIN.
I tried that multiple times, including a PIT repartition, nand erase and bootloader update.
NO LUCK.
I thought I was completely doomed, but upon trying the following advice it fixed right up with only a single reboot and 20 seconds of work.
Here it is:


Solution 1

On you dialer type in this USSD *#0011#
Press menu key > press back
Press menu key > press key input > Q
Press menu key > press key input > 0000
Wait for a few seconds and the screen options will change
Press on UMTS
Press on Common
Press on NV Rebuild
Press on NV Rebuild
Press on System, Protocol, GPS, IMS
Wait for 30 seconds and then shutdown your phone
Power On phone
GPS should work fine now
Recommend to use GPS STATUS app to reset and download AGPS Data


Solution 2 - If you are still on the S5 Port ROM

Assuming you are on a S5 Port ROM, make sure GPS is enabled
Boot into recovery and without wiping anything "dirty" flash a note 3 rom and reboot
There will be a lot of force closes once reboot is complete. Reboot back into recovery
Wipe data and reboot into the Rom again. There may be a few force closes. Reboot back into recovery
Wipe 3 times (data, cache, system, boot)
I recommend latest Philz Recovery (use intall new rom option to wipe)
Restore or install your desired Note 3 rom
GPS should work fine
Incase it still does not, perform solution 1



Enjoy guys.

I've used solution one before. It's works on any rom. I had GPS not finding my location issue on all stock roms and found that solution somewhere and it worked like a charm.
