Well, after more endless hours of trying to enable GPS on my Verizon VX6900, I'm still stuck.

I successfully updated the bootloader to 3.21 and Radio to 3.37 and then flashed a custom ROM. This time, after installing the Verizon DCD cab, and doing a ##778 (with this custom ROM, I discovered by trial and error and searching these forums, I just needed to add a # after #778 for #778#). I entered the new A Key from Verizon tech support after getting the 'could not authenticate' error when I tried to dial calls.

So now I can access data again and also now access MMS messages and I can make and receive calls again (hoorah).

But the problem is that I still cannot connect to GPS. I installed the Valhalla cab per several forum instructions. No go. I then applied the Verizon aGPS fix (I'd link to the file but know I can't post with links) using QPST and the settings here:
PDE IP Address: 66.174.95.132
PDE Port Number: 8888
PDE Transport: IP
Position Calculation: PDE

Then I installed the GC Verizon aGPS.cab afterwards and did a soft reset.

I verified the registry settings to:
Make sure GPS registry settings afterwards are on in Hkey local machine/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS:
Registry Key namevalueEnableAGPS1EnableGPSSmartMode1GPSMode4Ser verIP66.174.95.132ServerPort8888

I did a soft reset.

I verified the External GPS settings and made sure the location service was on.

It's a little overcast tonight, so I tried my Garmin GPS just to troubleshoot, and it can find satellites fine.

I installed Windows Live Search too, and it hung on "tracking position..." I changed the GPS settings to Com 4.

This is truly infuriating... LOL...

Help?

Also, Google Maps now no longer waits on Initializing GPS for a few seconds and goes straight to 'Tracking satellites (0)'... It eventually tells me it cannot connect to GPS.

Help?

Also, I tried using Holux GPS viewer to prime the GPS. It does locate the GPS on com port 4 but it doesn't connect to satellites.
