unlock GPS on Verizon HTC Touch Pro

unlock GPS on Verizon HTC Touch Pro

If you’re a Verizon customer and own a HTC Touch Pro you’re going to enjoy this one. We’ve got some information on how to unlock the GPS capabilities of this device. We already talked about Verizon unlocking the GPS themselves but there’s no reason to wait for them now, is there?

You can find all the detailed instructions here at ppcgeeks which goes something like this:

1. download lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab AND PPST1.46.cab and put on your storage card or any folder on your device

2. install PPST1.46.cab

3. use gsfinder,total commander or File Explorer to navigate to \windows\ppst.exe

4. click on ppst.exe and go thru the prompts

5. reset your device as needed

6. NOW install lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab

7. use gsfinder,total commander or File Explorer to navigate to \windows\ppst.exe

8. reset your device as needed

9. Dial *228 option 1

(the above step is the steps I did, option 2 also works but I needed to prove it takes a full update without rewriting data)

10. reset your device

11. Install HTC GPS Tool if needed

12. I would suggest a soft reset… do what you want on this one

13. Open up HTC GPS Tool. Set Chip to Q 7500 and mode to Cold Start (left soft key for those who dont know) then set baud to 4800 and open port.
