Hello,
Well as the title says, i been having gps locking problems when i try to use Google maps.
I am currently running Venosaur rom 3.2.0 with the 5/7 leaked firmware.
Does anyone know a way to fix this or if it's related to the leak, rom, or just gMaps?
Thank You

Darn it, i have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Hmm... What if i swap in the gps.conf file from cleanrom, i wonder if that makes a difference, or is it another file? Hmm... Idk

Btw im back on cleanRom dev edition and gps is back. I probably just have bad luck with Venosaur rom.

Could be radio installation glitch.
Try HTC Re-Lock with fastboot, then name
the Android Police 3.14 zip "PH98IMG.zip"
and run it all the way thru twice.
Do a couple of factory re-sets after that, and your
radio issues ought be be cleared up.

My Thunderbolt is rooted, but no matter what ROM I flash i can't get service. This happened after installing CM7. I have tried flashing different ROMs, updating radios, and returning to stock. But no dice. I can get the phone into HBOOT and Recovery, and the phone will boot, but when it says to select language, and then goes to the Activation screen, it just says "Activating..." and does nothing else. Any ideas, or a fix would be very helpful! Thanks!
EDIT: Problem was fixed by flashing most recent Radio. When i flashed CM7 for some reason it deleted my radio files.. hmm
Sounds like something mighta broke after flashing. I'd flash 605.9 and give big red a call. I know not much help, but sounds like you tried everything else. Good luck
I know you said different Roms, but you try a sense ROM?
i know its basic but you have the backplate attached right its needed to get signal
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Lol yes backplate is on. I just checked "about phone" and it says "baseband unknown" I think I have the wrong radio. I am going to search for the MR1 radio and install. I am running CM7, any idea on most recent radio?

And yes I have tried sense and desensed roms. I am currently running CM7 AOSP.

I flashed the most recent radio with ADB. Ran into a bunch of issues using the "flash_image" method.
Here is the link for all the radios:

I assume there are only two right now correct? How do you check which version you have?

Was this a really dumb question or nobody knows?

It's pretty much a matter of knowing what you flash before you flash it. If you've never flashed ICS, you're on GB bootloaders. If you flashed ICS you have ICS bootloaders. What does it matter anyways?

What i have read when you flash ics, does not change your bootloader, i have had no problems going back to gb

You are wrong.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Not entirely... Flashing ics in a cwm zip does not flash boots. At all.
And the boots in the Odin flash dint seem to be any different than the gingerbread ones.
It's not like on some previous Samsung devices jumping from Froyo to gingerbread, where you HAD to upgrade boots or recovery was inaccessible
Oops. My bad. I thought I had read that the ICS Odin did change them. Sorry all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I'm pretty sure that Odin the first leak changed the bootloader, but the cwm version did not, so the people who jumped the gun with the initial leak had to revert to stock and redo the cwm and root process before flashing the cwm leak. This scenario caused most of the confusion a are still experiencing with all these different suggestions for the so called proper wiping procedure. You'll notice several different formats stemming from the initial Odin/exe vs cwm versions. Some people say"I had to do this x amount of times" and others say"I had to do this z amount of times in this order"... I have literally read almost every single post in this forum(general,Q&A,accessories,Dev, not so much themes) in preparation to mod my note without fail. In my opinion, people are being very lazy about the amount of research they should be doing before modding their phone. This lack of initiative causes confusion and repetitive Q&A's.

So in all my flashing, since I got this phone two days go, I tried to get BAMF ICS build to work and it was a no go for me.
But my question is in all of it I upgraded it to like version 3.xx or something like that....it wont let me downgrade saying 'main version is older'
I have a 2.3 build on now and its running....but I thought I needed to back it back down to work best.....but how do you get it to force an older PG98IMG on?
I've tried the nifty little automated tool
Flashing manually
Flashing via the comp
Nothing seems to push it on
Thoughts?

Check the development forum. In the stickies section under HTC misc tool. Or flash a Rom that resets the mainver. Most of them do now.

flash the mainver fix in cons thread its in the dev section in a sticky i think

It will make the change in hboot, allowing earlier versions to flash.

I really need to be brought up to speed on HTC development. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid x2 and I thought development would be the same but its totally different. I don't even know what the hell s-on or s-off means. I'm going to be receiving 2 new rezounds for my wife and I and I'm going to need to get them rooted, updated to ics, and new roms flashed on them. My Droids bootloader was locked down so our devs just worked around the kernel. Anyone know of any tutorials or anything that can help me out and bring me up to speed on the lingo and what (if anything) I should not do with these phones? Also, looks like they are being shipped to me running 2.3.4 which needs to go! Thanks!

He is right but this one isn't stickied and should be. Good place to start but just search before asking questions as you are most likely not the first to have that problem.

Story, one more question from the FNG, is there really that much of a benefit to wait for the official ics to be released? I'm getting the new phones today or tomorrow and I'm somewhat impatient. I can't stand bloatware. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions but I know once I root and install ics firmware I can't go back if there is a release. Thanks.

You can go back if you're S-OFF with a RUU.
For the time being, you can flash a few different ICS leaks which are close to the official OTA but that's the beauty of modding our phones, you can even stay on Gingerbread and flash ICS ROMs and run fine with a patch as well.
Having problems with s-off. Using controlbear but everytime I attempt to begin program it says connect device and install drivers. Thi is very frustrating. Would like to actually get to the wire trick

Sure you have installed the HTC Sync drivers, and gone through the whole HTC Dev Unlock process properly? And make sure the option for USB debugging is on in the ROMs settings, plus Fast Boot is off. Check basic cabling and whatnot first too of course. Try a clean run on another PC if all else fails.
Thanks for the help!

Ya I came from Motorola myself. They lost a 10 year loyal customer with their bs. I find HTC and Samsung are the most open for developers.

That's why I'm here now. Moto can kiss it! Never going back.

Okay, so, I pretty much have everything set up perfect except does anyone know how to change boot animation? Running clean rom dev edition and when I use rom toolbox to change and install new animation then reboot, it just shows the regular clean rom boot animation so the change isn't sticking obviously. Thanks

Hey guys, my phone is Hboot 1.50 and s-off, but it seems like my phone eventually locks up with most AOSP/AOSP based roms I tried. Anyone know what's going on? Sense is cool but i would like to run a stable AOSP and/or MIUI sometimes.

What do you mean by locks up?
Freezes and crashes or fails?
Freezes, then ill have to do a battery pull.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
And, judging from your HBoot, it's a CDMA phone. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Have you tried an AOSP feel ROM?
Maybe it has something to do with you running too much on the phone which is causing it to crash.
I've never really seen this problem before.
It's CDMA. What's an AOSP feel Rom? A "de-sensed" rom? It may not matter if I am or not. Last freeze I had was with CM7 and I didn't even install anything. I don't have much issues with Sense roms but I don't want to stay stuck with Sense.

Yes, an AOSP feel ROM is when the ROM is really a Sense ROM, but it doesn't install Sense, instead, it installs a launcher, usually NOVA Launcher.
I'm not very familiar with the CDMA section, but there should be a few..
Also, did you experience any random Force Closes with your AOSP ROMs? Such as a Random system app? Also, did it usually freeze when you were using it, or when it was just lying around or in your pocket?
CM7 froze after I tried to turn the screen off. The other roms froze while using it I think.

Stock Kernel?
Could be an overheating issue?
I don't flash kernels a lot. Only 2-3 tines I've flashed one. At least most issues were probably with the included kernel. Tried CM9 today, ran well until it froze.

Did you flash the kernel and all the most recent firmware/radios for the ROM? That could be the issue.
Never flashed a radio or anything before. How do I go about doing that?

Each ROM has the radios included. If you're S-OFF, you just download it, rename it to what the Dev said (usually they come prenamed) and then put it in the root of your SD Card.
Once you're done that, just reboot your phone into the bootloader (Power and Volume Up) and it'll automatically scan for the files and install them.
It's not hard to do. Just make sure you flash the right ones for your phone and all should be well.
However, you shouldn't really need to flash the radio unless you experience problems with it..
