I had this working on my XV6800 (VZW) in the past on both MR1 and MR2. I followed the directions in the posts in the main GPS thread. The two things that I did slightly differently that worked for me and one or two others I noticed was that I did have to install VZ Navigator and once or twice I had to tweak the registry settings for the AGPS settings (server's changed IPs, etc). After that it did work. However, I did have problems with the GPS not locking at times unless I did a soft reset. Since then i've moved onto custom ROMs and getting GPS to work was much easier and I don't have to soft reset to get it to work, it works all the time and locks within 5-10sec.
Post in here what you've tried or PM me and I can try to help.

Ok so i have looked and looked and am lost!!! Can someone point me in the right direction on where to find rom cooking info. I have downloaded a kitchen but im not sure what tool to use??? thanks all
Josh
why not go over to DCD's 2.3.0 thread and read his instructions. If you've already unlocked your phone, then it's a simple double click and fill out some checkboxes, then have a coke and a smile.
I'm trying to figure out what each of the checkboxes means. I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but for some reason it's not in the main post. The main post seems to assume that you've already cooked ROMs before. This is my first HTC (although I've done a lot of Palm ROM editing in the past.)
I just recently jumped on the boat from 6700 to Mogul and cooked my first ROM the other day and let me tell you, it's not easy finding straight forward instructions on how to do it but the info is out there... Your not the first to ask this question and I'm sure you won't be the last... I read around the forum for about 3 days and gathered everything I needed to know... The best thing is that you're nearly forced to read some threads from begining to end which provides a lot of great insight to the underground world of Titan Modding...
My advise is to look around, gather all the info you need and then ask specific questions about the update process... People are more willing to give specific advise as opposed to detailing a step by step...
Best of luck...
Note: I've done a lot of searching on these forums but there is a TON of information, so I just want to get the 'simple' (ha!) explanation of exactly what to do/read since I am a newbie when it comes to using customer ROMS.
I have a 2-month old Verizon XV6800. I am not pleased with the performance, nor with not having WM 6.1, GPS, and other things. That is why I am interested in doing a custom ROM.
Therefore, can someone give me the thread and/or info on exactly what I need and the procedure to FLASH a custom ROM to my XV6800? I've seen a lot of items regarding Sprint and others, but I want the instructions for doing this with the XV6800. There seems to be a lot of pieces I need to do, and I am curious exactly what I will end up with.
Again, this may already have been explained completely in another thread, so maybe I just need to be pointed there. However, I would really be happy if it relates directly to the XV6800.
Thanks! Any info appreciated.
Tom (Chimp)
Current Config:
XV6800 (Stock)
WM 6.0
ROM 2.09.605.8
Radio v.1.30.60

Nice guy - for folks who have yet to upgrade, there is definitely too much information out there, making it difficult for some to truly find what they need to do. Its not about not reading - its about sifting through all the crap that you can read.
OP - check out the titan wiki thread:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Its a good starting point.

Well I will have to stand firm on this topic. There was a thread specifically created for newcomers to read. It's stickied and says "NEED HELP?? LOOKING FOR GUIDES?? NEW?? Read the XDA-Wiki for the Titan before posting" If you can't navigate yourself that far into this forum then chances are you don't need to even consider flashing your phone at this point. Yes there is tons of info to sift thru but it don't get much easier than that thread shows. Problem is, most people dont want to take the effort it takes to look first. It's easier to create a thread and ask where to look even though the developers have taken TONS of time to build guides and wiki pages to avoid the standard everyday questions.

Ever notice how the stickies are never bold, but new posts are? Kind of pulls your eyes away from the top.
Ya I noticed. You ever notice when you don't take time to read first you find yourself asking questions that have been answered numerous times?
Well, trust me, I took time to read - pulled a lot of stuff into my Evernote file just to have it. But again, with so much info around, and the fact that you are messing around with the firmware of your phone (and can maybe brick it!) I'd rather ask to be sure before I start doing anything. Some of the info was 'general' in nature, and I wanted to make sure what I was reading was XV6800 specific (or at least as specific as possible).
OK, another question: I know there is a new Verizon XV6800 firmware update coming out (soon hopefully?) - if you were me, would you wait for this new update? Or go ahead and flash to one in here? It seems that dcd's updates are better and faster - at least from what I read.
Finally, is there any specific ROM that works better for the XV6800?

use dcd 3.2.5 and radio 3.42.30... that would be the most current configuration
and no I don't think waiting will be worth it....once you start flashing your phone you will end up like the rest of us who are known to flash multiple times a week or even a day trying new stuff....so if you feel like you're ready then take the plunge
quick notes:
unlock with olipro 2.40 or nuespl 2.47
flash radio via your sd card
flash rom via ruu or sd
Cool, I will try this next week.
BTW, if I have to take the phone back to Verizon for any reason, I can re-flash the original ROM back onto the system, correct?
And finally, what is the 'chance' that I could brick the phone entirely doing this?

Just make sure you go thru the steps as they are laid out.
You will have to run titanrelocker and then flash the OEM ROM and Radio to return
I have a rooted fascinate but cant seem to be able to get a rom. I am a complete dumbass who shouldnt be jacking with my phone but am sick of the bloatware and freezes. When i go to clockwork mod the color is blue with white. i am challenged so please be very specific thanks
You really need to start reading. There is plenty of information here in the forums, but if you try to get it spoon-fed, you'll end up frustrated because you don't really understand what you did.
Start here, go slowly, and follow directions. If you have specific questions, post them here (in Q&A).
I find it helpful to read ALL of the posts in a particular ROMs thread because even if I don't have a particular issue now, I might in the future. (Plus, if you come in asking questions that were just answered two pages ago - and every two pages before that - it just frustrates the people you are looking for help from.)

sorry i posted the way i did. I was very frustrated, i rooted my phone at a friends house and had no problems, when i got home and tried to get a rom it just doesnt seem to work on my computer. Sorry for posting the way i did. Thanks
No worries ... but really it is best if you dig in. As long as you follow directions carefully, things should go smoothly, and the more you do it, the more it makes sense. Perhaps you could post some details about what you've tried and where it has failed.
I found the search function here doesn't work that well. What works best for me is doing a google search. Usually it pulls up the xda thread I was looking for. Thats how I learned.

Anyway I just looked in this sub forum and have not read anything in depth yet. I have practice flashing roms on my phone so I am not a complete newbie...but not far..
So is the instructions in the flash thread still the one to follow exactly as written? I only ask because I saw somewhere that the G tablet has been updated and some roms are no longer good (not sure if this is true?)
Anyway I will be getting this tablet soon and want to flash it before I even use it (with at least gingerbread if not honeycomb), so any tips or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!!

Tip 1: Post General (like this) or Q/A (like "how do I...?") posts in the General or Q/A forums, not in THIS forum, which (as you can see by the Stickied Posts you passed over) is just for developers to post about their things, and for you to give them feedback in their threads.
Tip 2: be sure you understand the whole 1.1 vs 1.2 bootloader thing
Tip 3: have fun!
Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I am so used to the phone section (which is where we post these questions) that I just assumed it was the same setup.
Can a Mod please move this thread to the correct forum please?
thanks
I don't think there is another tab with as much interests as this one.
That said I hope you know about the screen viewing angle issue. I haven't really noticed it but some people have cried bloody murder.

Hey guys, I'm new here, but I've been leeching off the wealth and amalgam of smartphone "hacking" information here since I first got my HTC Incredible.
I've moved on to a Samsung Fascinate, and I've regretted it since. But because I cannot go back, I'm stuck with this heaping pile of techo-anxiety.
Anyway, my point is, the 2.3.5 Android update murdered my GPS.
Since no one actually calls me, my phone is my computer-away-from-my-computer. 80% of my phone's worth to me is google maps. Now, after the update, the google maps doesn't work!
I've scoured the internet for help, but all I can find is very outdated information on how to fix the GPS when on 2.1 or 2.2. I can't even get to the LBS testing mode because the dialer codes don't work.
GPS Aids doesn't work, either.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME, PLEASE?! D=
I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! (Or, at least until I forget about you in about a day--hey, at least I'm honest, but I will be truly thankful--and so will everyone else who's been shafted up the butt by Verizon or Samsung.)
Tell you what, though, I will never buy another Samsung product again. EVERY Samsung product I've ever owned has failed on me--some even multiple times. Why can't my people make anything right? (yeah, I'm Korean)
Edit: Furthermore, I can't seem to root it since 2.3.5. Superoneclick just freezes.
Go to the general section find my guide that says how to flash a rom/cwm recovery/root/ or go back to stock and follow section 4. Basically you will be reflashing 2.3.5. The ota update has been causing folks alot of issues. My guide will get u back in business!
Then follow section 5 to root!
Thank you, sir... I love you...
Section 4 did the trick, and my GPS works beautifully well.
I will also give Section 5 a try soon to root my device!
Once more, thanks!

Hello! I am glad to see the problem is fixed. I am having the same issues but am a little less tech inclined, so is it possible to get a bit more detail, or step by step instruction on how to accomplish this? Thanks so much!!

My guide in the general section has everything you need as already posted lol...If the guide is not noob friendly enough for you then, A) you need to do alot of research, or B) you shouldnt even consider flashing a rom as a brick may be around the corner.
I must STRONGLY disagree with your assumption concerning the Fascinate. Now that you are on the well guided path to flashing roms and such, you will discover this device is an EXCELLENT one

Gps died
A few weeks ago my gps stopped getting a lock. I am stock 2.3.5 on a fascinate. I only understand some of the very basic lingo around here, like i get what OTA is, but have no idea what Odin is. I really need my gps to work. I didnt do anything new that could be linked to its recent failure. While I was driving over the weekend, a few times the navigation got a lock for a while after up to twenty minutes of searching, but mostly it gets no lock anymore. I have used gps status and the first time it worked after I downloaded assistance data and reset cached data, but since that first success it has stopped working and I have not been able to repeat any success with the gps status.
So, I am willing to try flashing various roms and such, but maybe I need even more basic info before I try to follow the aforementioned guides, since I don't know what any of that stuff is that is referred to in the guides. Where do I start, can it be fixed?
I have wanted to visit these forums forever, but with kids and life and such, have not had the opportunity to educate myself on these types of things. I think you guys are awesome.
