I was wondering if there was anyway to unlock the gps on verizon's touch pro so that I can use it with googlemaps and other gps enabled apps. If there isn't a way to do it, is there any development on a way to unlock it?

I am sure they need to figure out how to unlock the phone first. Thats still in development for our phones. Once that is done I am more than sure somone will have it unlocked shortly after. Just keep checking the threads and we will see an announcement by someone. I am even sure we will see more than one thread on it.
How about Skywing's
I don't have a TP to try this on yet. Been watching this forum in anticipation of moving up (?) from a xv6800.
Has anyone tried Skywing's hack to see if it works on a TP? In one of his posts, Skywing stated that he didn't see why his hack wouldn't work on any stock Verizon 6.1 install.
Just a thought . . .
The posted bits will not work on the xv6850 due to some timing differences with how the GPS driver initialization works. There is no value in using those bits on the xv6850.
The posted bits were stated to work with the xv6800 and not any Verizon device with WM6.1. Some people have claimed success with the xv6900, but I cannot speak to any possible success or failure with that device. They will not work on the xv6850.
I already tried to install Skywings fix and as soon as I click Use GPS in Google maps, it locks the phone beyond recovery.

I installed Skywings Vallhala cab. it opened up or unlocked the GPS so it was discoverable by OnCourse navigator 8 but wouldn't actually work or find satellites. It didn't lock up my device or do any harm whatsoever. I guess I'll stick to my bluetooth receiver for the time being....
yeah my phone froze up too when i tried using GPS in google maps after installing vallhala.cab. i think it's gonna need a little something more than just using the same hack for the xv6800. i really hope someone is in the process of development.
From what I understand its just figuring out how to unlock the unit then after that its easy to do whatever you want
Has anyone been able to do anything in QPST or does the phone need to unlocked to use QPST?

No, not quite. Hait to burst everyone's buble but its not quite that simple. The phone has been unlocked just not released to us. They have GPS up and running but only with VZNav. They are trying to work with GC for a GPS solution.
I can thoerize that this will only work with a fix from Valhalla.
It has alot to do with how the PRI's are preset. To make a long story short they have sort of proved this by flashing a new radio from sprint and it still wasnt "unlocked" Same thing wiht the titan would happen after MR1. The only thing that could revert the PRI back was a revert to a non GPS radio. Then back up to a GPS radio with a standard PRI instead of the VZ locked. From there you were good.
Well there is no pre-gps radio to revert back to for the Raph. Thats why I feel we will end up going an emulation route. The drivers are differnt than that titan which is why all of our phones crashed with his fix. Or most anyways. We need him to create a utility for us until someone figured out how to "cure" the PRi issue.
I may not have used the exact correct terminology in this post. Im more of a ROM guy than a GPS / Radio guy but this is how I understand it. Someone correct me please if I am wrong. And I deperately hope I am wrong on this one (Although I had no doubt in my mind when the phone was introduced this was to be the case. They were basically beta testing the GPS system with the Titan and Vogue. Sit back and think about).
Here is the thread I am reffering to:

The version of QPST I have sees the phone but doesnt knwo what type it is. I selected the only profile that had GPS one and it "seemed" to work but I wasnt about to test it by writing to the phone.

As posted in the thread on the Titan forum, those binaries won't work out of the box on the xv6850.

Will a gps fix for this phone be a reality inthe near future or should I just forget about it?
looks like verizon is actually going to unlock GPS on most new phones including the HTC Touch Pro in the first half of 2009

hey all! i'm currently waiting for my 3125 to make it to my doorstep (it shall be my backup until i get my 8125 apart and determine which lcd screen i need to buy to fix it -- don't let truck tailgates come down on your lcd screen, you'll get angry...)
so, what roms are doing what for people?
so far, i've been able to dig up scattered around the net (which is funny, considering the m$ note on the ftp about no devices on the market have wm5 offered, so its proprietary now, take down and destroy....):
ruu_star100_1.02.251.1_qtekeur_ship_r2.exe (think its the buggy one, missed calls and all that)
ruu_star100_2.4.502.0_02.45.30_cws_ship.exe (htc support's current (illegal?) offering for the cingular/at&t customers)
ruu_star100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_qtekeur_ship.exe...
I'm sort of in the same situation as I have a 3125 on the way to replace my 8125...
I'm going to use the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM as it seems to be the latest available and I was able to pull it off the FTP last week.
I'd still be interested to know what everybody else is running though
i'm also using the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM and don't have any problem, stability, not too slow...
yeah im using the Qtek8500 ROm RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship
On my Cingular 3215.
This is the only clam shell WM5 device in the world yet it gets no love. No one doing new ROMS or anything. I have the HTC Wizard and I swear they come out with new ROM every week, sometimes more expecially with the whole WM6 ROms.
hmmm. i've been scanning through both xda and spv forums to figure out the best way to go about cooking up a rom. christ, xda is a mess to look through, but so far i think maimach's tools may do the trick. at least the thread seems to give hope :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294489
as to how to pull the nk.nbf or nb out of the rom.exe, i'm retarded (extract it with winrar someone said... ), this thread could work too...- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
i've been looking into this for a few days, and my head is starting to hurt (should go medicate...)
anyone else have any suggestions as to how to go about?

Well, the app unlock went fine and the 'RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0...' ROM went on without any probs (didn't bother to SIM unlock as I'm a Cingy customer anyway)
Would love to get my hands on a copy of ClearVue though as this ROM doesn't seem to have it and the Cingular one did.
Anybody??
BTW, love this phone!
I've answered my own question.... plenty of apps here, including ClearVue and some other cool stuff:

Thanks a bunch donshula, I am downloading it right now.
So, what are the differences between the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 and the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 one? And why are so many people using the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one instead?
I've got the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 as from Cingular and can't say I've had problems...
Would installing the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one cause issues because it has some different hardware?

No probs, I have the Cingular base ROM as well if you ever need to go back to it.
thelostsoul - I wouldn't be able to tell you the differences between the ROM's but generally, the newer the ROM, the more bug fixes and better stability is my guess. I do it anyway because I love to fiddle !
A downside of the non-carrier ROM's is that they don't always have the same software; 3.6 doesn't have XpressMail and the ClearVue suite for example.
Oh and no issues putting the 3.6 ROM on a Cingy 3125. They share the same base hardware components from what I understand. A few of us have done it without issue (if you follow the instructions properly) and the 3125's actually have more ROM than the Qtek 8500 so no worries on space.
how come I am getting invalid vender error when I am trying to install that firmware? I ran surreal networks app utility and rebooted.
Doesn't sound like you went through the full application unlock process. I followed the guide in this post to the letter (#2) and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292936
One thing I found was that when doing the regedits in step 1, your initial registry entries might not be the same as his - doesn't matter, just make sure you change them to the values damird lists.
Also for step 3, the file you want to download is the one at this link:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/download/itsutils.zip
- get one of the later ones and you have to start adding arguements to the pdocread command.
Hope this helps
thanks! it worked and now I am running the Qtek Rom which seems less buggy and a little more responsive. Have not experienced the missed call problem either. Now all I need is some good software to fine tune this puppy! maybe some good ring tones!!!!

@ trini
the sim unlocker i was thinking of errors out (the spv-tornado one). if you don't want to call cingular to get it unlocked (free?) or pay the 20-40 bucks US that various companies charge, all i can suggest is to keep a look out on spv-developers.com. some helpful **** there (that's the site that we can thank for our cid-unlock). i don't know how responsive they are in questions, considering i haven't been able to post there ever (i registered, but i never got my permissions to post topics enabled for some reason)....

Hi Guys,
i am new to flashing Ameo/Advantage/Athena, but am an experianced hardware "tweaker" with Pc's so am not too afraid to mess about a little, having bricked a few GFX cards in my past not too mention a few stern looks for the mrs when doing so
I need some help, i have just got an Ameo a standard T-mob one, brought 2nd hand, was formatted to factory standard when i got it
Want a hand i have heard from a few in the know that black touch is the way to go?
Is there a simple process to follow, i have looked at the threads above but they are over 50 pages long!?
perhaps just a simple 1.2.3.4... something to point me in the right direction?
Any help i am grateful for, Many thanks in advance

Step 1 Download Olipro Unlocker
Step 2 Run all 3 steps to unlock your phone comnpletely
Step3 Download APTouch Dual
Step 4 Run
Step 5 Enjoy!
Good instructions
I did mine last week with no problems. The only thing I would add is;
1. Make sure all your devices Ameo and laptop have a full charge before starting. Loosing power half way is a good way to get a brick.
2. Read, reread and print out the steps so that you can tick them off as you go along.
3. Keep wife, dog, kids etc. out of the way. You do not want to be distracted.
Good luck and enjoy your vastly improved device.
Thanks alot
i just have one further query, what is this radio 1.5 i have spotted being mentioned, i assume its not like fm radio and is actually reffering the the comms unit in the device, for gps or calls?
is this something i should consider or be thinking about?
Many Thanks
Pete

Did mine with no probs too. It is worth adding to the list:
- take out any memory cards
- stop any other programs running after boot - ie firewall/virus checker
It really is improved. The radio mentioned is the internal one. Flash the earlier version of the ROM which includes Radio v1.5, then follow with the later version which doesn't include it
Take a deep breath .....

Today i bought the HTC Touch Pro, i updated the rom to a newer version but when is start up the phone the screen is freezing while the openings-screen appears (where you see your ROM-version in red letters). I already did a hard-reset, but it didn't help. What can i do now?
well, hopefully you didnt update the phone to the wrong type of ROM(CDMA vs GSM). Who is your carrier? and what rom did you try and flash?
Did you use Hard SPL first before flashing??

Hi all:
I've done extensive searches regarding this issue and have yet to find the same issue I'm having. I've recently began having issues with my hardware keyboard on my FUZE adding extra spaces when typing. I would hit the space bar at normal speed and extra spaces would be added as I'm typing. I wonder if this is a hardware or software issue and if anyone has had similar issues and what they've done to resolve it. My FUZE is about 6-months old and I use the HW keyboard quite a bit for texting/e-mails so I need the HW keyboard functional. I'm still under warranty but would rather not have to deal with AT&T customer service. Thanks everyone!!!

You know, it's funny. I had a much longer response typed initially, but XDA was giving me trouble, so after typing it 3 times, I went with a more brief response.
Apparently (as discussed in the Kitchen thread), there's an issue with the input driver of the 21812 build ROM. I'm not sure if that's the build NRG was using on 6/13, but it's very possible. So, Da_G has included the CompIME.dll from a working build (in this case, 21731) in the kitchen to correct the error, which was isolated in that thread by pyrorob. So, I cabbed up the driver for my personal use with the newer ROM build (21815) in case this was still an issue. Since I just had it hanging out on my SD card, I figured I'd share it.
So, to answer your question, the cab just replaces your existing CompIME.dll with the one from the 21731 build. Hopefully this will correct your problem.

Edit* I checked the version and NRG is using Build 21812.5.0.50 so that may have been the issue in my case.
Edit** I'm still seeing the same problem. I'm going to try a reflash of the stock FUZE and go from there when I get more time this evening. When flashing to a different/Stock ROM, do all the device drivers get update or just what the Chefs feel are necessary?

For custom ROMs, it is possible that the chef may change some of the drivers in the OEM/SYS folder. Try a different custom ROM (even a different build number) to confirm that the problem is specific the NGR 21812.5.0.50 build.
For stock ROMs, the content will be what was released by the Manufacturer (HTC/AT&T). If the problem occurs with a stock ROM, I would be inclined to suspect faulty hardware.

hi there, i got the same problem as well, and i think it's worse than yours, mine sometimes even appear the full stop symbol after i typed the spacebar button from my HW keyboard, and i am also using EnergyRom as well... try flashing other Roms and see whether the problem exist or not, because i think i din find a problem in other roms... but i am still sticking with EnergyRom as i think i got some idea not letting it shows that often now...
i have the opposite problem my spacebar is now not putting spaces when it should. i have to make sure i focus on the button press, just started happening this month and ive had it since november
I had the problem several times, I restored back to AT&T ROM and Radio, and did an XBM on it.
Its a hardware problem. The Space and delete key can get hard to press, and when they do press, it does it multiple times.

I have a Touch Pro which I bought in October and the space bar on my keyboard started playing up too. It would miss spaces when i was typing away and sometimes would insert extra spaces.

I still have the same issue even with the original shipped ROM. I'm going to say this is a hardware issue and prep my device for warranty return/repair. This would be my first time using a warranty return/repair. How long does it take through AT&T and will I be out of a phone for a while?

First thing's first - make sure you return the phone to stock specs (including stock SPL) prior to returning.
The way the warranty exchange works is, you keep your phone, they send you a new (refurb) unit while you still have your existing phone, and when you get the new one, you put the SIM card in it, and use the packaging to send the old one back. That way, you're not out of a phone at all. I got mine the next day. Its a good system.

The way the warranty exchange works is, you keep your phone, they send you a new (refurb) unit while you still have your existing phone, and when you get the new one, you put the SIM card in it, and use the packaging to send the old one back. That way, you're not out of a phone at all. I got mine the next day. Its a good system.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm working on returning the phone to stock and will be talking with AT&T soon. Would it be best if I went in to the store or just call? I was hoping this phone would last until the Touch Pro 2 was released for AT&T. Thanks again!

I have reflashed HardSPL and the same NRG WM6.5 6/13 ROM. I can verify that it is not a ROM/Driver issue since my device is working fine. This is a hardware failure and needs a replacement device. Thank you for everyone's input and helping me to find some sort of resolution to this isue.
How to enable WLAN hotspot on AT&T Titan without a tethering plan
This may work on other carriers as well
You must have the DFT HSPL, a custom ROM and a Registry Editor of your choice installed on your Titan. I prefer using Juliens Registry editor or WP7 registry editor.
Open the registry editor and browse to the following locations:
Modify the following values in HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings:
"OpenMarketEnabled" value="1"
"EntitlementURI" value="./Vendor/MSFT/Registry/HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings/OpenMarketEnabled"
Modify the following values in HKLM\Services\ICS:
"UserProcGroup" value="5"
Reboot your phone
Need a custom ROM? Try one of mine:
HTC Titan AT&T Stock 7.8, Tango, & Mango w/Full Unlock
HTC Titan 7.8 8835 Europe stock base w/Full Unlock

Thanks goes to the author and contributors of the original samsung focus thread.
Caution: Some carriers can detect you are using this method and force you to pay for the proper plan. I am not responsible if you break anything or pay extra. Using custom ROMs and flashing HSPL can void your warranty. There is even a chance of bricking devices when flashing any ROM and HSPL. These ROMs were tested and no issues were found, but your experience may be different. If you need to send your device in for repair, be sure to flash back to stock ROM and SPL.
This hack definitely works BTW I'm using ur Tango version rom. Cheers.
I'm also using your tango rom!
This hack works great. I think it resets itself, as EntitlementURI seems to always go back to what it was before. So I removed the value of some key, It was like MobileOperatorInfoLink, because i think it checks if you have internet sharing and then the resets it if you don't. I'll see in the next couple if days of it works and let you know! It hasnt made any difference on internet sharing so I think it's the one.
Moved over to Titan development section. Good find OP!

I've had mine set for about 5 days and still working. Just checked and EntitlementURI is still set. What are you using as your registry editor? Keep us updated on your findings.

Thanks. I wasn't sure where to put it as it 'should' apply to all AT&T Windows Phones, but can't verify that of course. (I know it works for the Samsung Focus)

I think I found the problem...
I kept using Connection Setup to reconfigure my network because it seemed like it would temporarily fix my low signal issue. I'm pretty sure that's what reset it every time.
I had been doing it on a regular basis too, so that's why it reset so often.
Sorry about that! It works perfectly without my meddling
Gotta admit I am having trouble understanding what just happened to my device.
I did it all right, then rebooted and it worked.
Then after I rebooted again it stopped working (got the 611 message, etc). When I went back to check and noticed I had made a typo in the Registry Editor (HLKM instead of HKLM). When I fixed that it all worked flawlessly, without a reboot.
But how did it work before I corrected the typo?
Anyways, just wanted to share in case somebody had made the same typo =)
Best,
Daniel
I'm on the dynamics rom and the HKLM/Comm is restricted so it isn't allowing me see it change.
iS this ROM related since the above users are on your Tango ROM?

It should work on any ROM. What registry editor are you using?
Make sure the registry editor has root privileges in Root Manager
I'm using Reg Edit version 1.0.0.0. beta by Julien Schapman 2011.
I'll look around for a newer one.
That is exactly what I didn't do. Thanks.
All of a sudden, I love my Titan!!! Now that I actually have one that doesn't seem to have the call quality problem and it is unlocked!
Sweet Freedom! Good find OP, Thanks!
I just would like to know if anyone has tried this on a HTC Titan 2, feel a little neglected as to there still isn't a separate section for out phones....at leas in the subsection of the HTC Titan 1.........
OP, assuming I still have a stock rom on my hTC Titan 2, there is no other way to do this without having root access??

Right, you need registry access which requires the phone to be 'rooted'
Anyone who uses the AT&T network in the states that has applied this and used it for a while gotten a warning for using tethering without permission from AT&T? I recall using a tethering hack on my Samsung focus and got a text warning saying they were going to change me from my unlimited data plan to a lower plan. I had only used it a handful of times and wasn't like I was going crazy with it. Just wondering what people's experience has been?

I've used it off and on since I started the thread and no notification, yet. The longest I left it on was overnight with my iPad connected to it.
Question, I installed a rom with tethering on it. I have only used it once, but now it says I have to call 611 to start that service.
Why did it do that?

Did you run the connection setup? This will reset the values.
No, did nothing that I can remember. Just went to turn it on, it went to the internet to verify and said this service not available,call 611.
Is my fix the script editor they are talking about in this thread?
I don't want to put any red flags to at&t
Is it better to use a Wi-Fi/tethering application? Like Foxfi?
