rev A EVDO update and HTC Mogul GPS is enabled! **BETA, LEAKED!!**

Only for The Mogul until further Notice Suspected Error NOT FOR THE TOUCH

this does completely reflash your phone and any and ALL i repeat ALL (just like new) settings will be lost.

this enables the internet speeds to be greatly (almost 3x as fast for me)

and the built in.... yeah i said built in GPS works with Google and windows live, tom tom and on and on. sneaky people hiding stuff on us!.

info pulled from here

PS some vista users have had problems running the installer, some havent

Basically though, its *not* for the feint of heart."

NOTE: After the update some are experiencing loss of phone functions (dial in-out). To recover from this, before updating, make sure you record your MDN and MSID. First go to your dialer and dial ##MSL# (where MSL is your unique MSL code for your phone). The MSL unlock code is used for programming your phone yourself, and is unique for every phone. You can retrieve the MSL for your phone by using the GetSPC application. It's essentially a keygen that calculates what the MSL should be from the hexadecimal ESN (case-sensitive). You can get your hexadecimal ESN from several places including the back of your device if you remove the battery. You can download GetSPC from HERE. Otherwise you can call Sprint technical support, tell them you're a developer, and you need the MSL number for your phone. The MDN should be your phone number. Finally, go to your dialer again, and dial ##3282#, your MSL is the unlock code, then make sure you record the settings there. The important things are your username and AAA password (HA password should be 'secret').

Which GPS enabled applications work with the Mogul's built-in GPS?

Pretty much any GPS application that supports the NMEA 0183 protocol (almost everything). You may have to set your GPS application to connect to COM 4 with a baud rate of 4800. I have successfully tested the built-in GPS with:

* Sprint Navigation v1.0.21 (Telenav) (free 2 day trial, downloads maps from an active Internet connection, $10 a month, not included as part of SERO)
* Google Maps Mobile (free, downloads map/navigation data from an active Internet connection)
* Microsoft Live Search (free, downloads map/navigation from an active Internet connection)
* IGuidance 4 (My prefered program for USA navigation, has text to speech for street names).
* TomTom 6.030 (My preferred program for European navigation)
* iGO My way 2006 Plus (Has maps available for some areas that no other navigation software has, such as Egypt).
* Holux GPS Viewer (free, starts communication with GPS module, gives GPS satellite status)


Why does my application never find (or find slowly) my built-in GPS?

It seems that the way the gpsOne chipset is implemented, through Microsoft's Intermediate GPS driver, requires it to be primed/started in way not all GPS applications support. Some people have been using Google Maps to prime the GPS so it can be used with another application, such as TomTom. I've found a much better way to prime the GPS application, using the freely available Holux GPS Viewer v1.5, which you can get HERE. Once you run the application, make sure, under the Setup tab, that the Com Port: is set to COM4:, then just press the "Open GPS" button. You should start recieving a scrolling list of NMEA protocol messages in the listbox below.

You can check the satellite status by going to the "GPS Status" tab. For an accurate fix you must have a signal to at least 4 satellites (at least 4 blue bars).

Once you have a lock you can start the application you wish to use the GPS with, such as TomTom. Once your application is working with the GPS you can exit the GPS Viewer application if you wish. The GPS may stop working if the GPS Viewer application isn't running, and your device goes into standby mode. You can leave GPS Viewer running the background, so that the GPS restarts on wakeup, but this sucks up around 5% CPU power and uses about 1MB of program memory. Hopefully someone can find/program an application that runs as a service in the background taking minimal CPU power that does the same thing that GPS Viewer does (GPSGate does not work).

I was a little annoyed that I had to reselect COM4: every time I started GPS Viewer, so I created a hacked version that preselects COM4 for you, which you can get HERE.

UPDATE 1 ( 1-27-08 ) - Baffles and tekmaven are working on a background service which will keep the GPS running on demand. It should have support for either keeping it going all the time, when you tell it to, or by detecting when GPS-using apps are running.

UPDATE 2 ( 1-27-08 ) - Some have also reported having good luck with VisualGPSce, which uses around 320KB program memory, and around 15% of the CPU when running in the background.

UPDATE 3 ( 1-27-08 ) - Baffles has just released BAF's GPS Launcher v0.1-test. Mirror HERE (post by yacko). The launcher, will set up/connect to the internal GPS, then launch a specified GPS app (TomTom,iGo, etc.). It's pretty basic in functionality, but it gets the job done for now. The next revision of this will end up being a background service on the phone that automatically enables GPS as needed, but for now, this is a better solution than running Google Maps/Holux GPS Viewer/etc in the background.

"Hey all you Sero users out there, Sprint "leaked" a new rom that includes GPS *and* revision A EVDO. The link to get it going is here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/s...p?t=362566

The link is for a custom rom built by dcd. In my opinion it is better than the sprint released rom and has much less bloatware installed. Follow his instructions very carefully and you should have no problems updating. Before updating, read around in the xda-dev forums and so some other things that people are recommending. The following is a great resource to see what you have in store: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s...p?t=363431

If it wasn't so late I would put up full instructions on how to update, but it is late and I have work early.
