Palm Pre and GPS (Additional GPS modes: Autonomous, Assisted, and Cached) - Page 9

Nice find, Derossi.

Seems a little easier than calling them and lying my *** off.

Hm, interesting... It may be possible, then.

Not really the type of poke I was thinking of, but still...

I did all that using the QXDM tool and I was able to pull up my phone and see code in the memory viewer but bringing up those locations showed all zeros. I think they might have changed the location in 1.3.1.

What sucks now is that I can not get out of DIAG mode on my USB since I enabled it via novacom and I can not disable it within the phone without the code. And I can not seem to get novacom working to disable it within that because of it being in DAIG mode.

As far as I know (and I'm the author of the Meta-Doctor tool used to change the keyboard type), the settings for GPS are not stored in that NVRAM area.

Yeah, I was wondering about that...

Good to know, thanks!

Alright, just called the sprint palm pre support number and the guy gave it to me without any issues. I just told him I seemed to have changed a setting that messed up my USB port and that I can fix it but the phone is asking me for the MSL code. The guy didn't flinch and gave it to me in like 1 second like he knew I was going to ask.

grndslm · 11/17/2009, 08:03 PM

Calling [Advanced] Tech Support is the way that I went. Called a direct # that I don't plan on giving out here... first guy picked up, I asked for the MSL, and he gave it to me without questions (of course after he asked my name, number, & pin).

I could get the USBPASS hashcode to work on the gsm pre BUT when i enable diag mode nothing happens, windows doesn't ask for a new driver and doesn't recognize another device. so i can't use qpst. can someone please help?

You did not. There are currently no 64 bit drivers available. I definitely don't know enough about creating drivers to make some either. From the research I have done on how to make them, it seems to be no easy feat. I too am on the edge of my seat to see if anyone knows how though.

Have you rebooted your Pre?

Are you in developer mode?

Kyusaku · 11/18/2009, 10:09 PM

I recently doctored my phone and updated to 1.3.1 and my GPS isn't working. When I do ##GPS# I get an error occured. I tried doing the instructions with USBPASS and Diag setting to either of the ports, and I get prompt for the drivers but it won't take the drivers, first thing that gets recognized is identified as Reduced CDC Abstract Control Model and then a Generic Serial.

trim81 · 11/18/2009, 10:10 PM

correct, same here.

win xp will no longer recognize the drivers for 1.3.1 ....

it prompts for drivers, but the one from bezel wouldnt work for it.

odd?

install the terminal app from preware and type:
mpt x
press enter and your usb should be back to normal

Joescan09 · 11/19/2009, 06:42 AM

Yup

Been into QPST several times since 1.3.1 and no problems with drivers here.

I am not able to get the drivers installed for the Reduced CDC Abstract Control Model and the Generic Serial devices either. On 1.3.1 and WinXP. Did you figure this out?

I was able to figure out the problem with the drivers. The hardware id rev version that the driver is looking for is 0216. However, my hardware id rev version on my device was 0316. I was able to edit the driver files to replace the '0216' with '0316' for the Pre device. The drivers installed perfectly and I was able to successfully update the GPS settings through QPST.

I'm experiencing the same issue, after the update to 1.3.1 it won't recognize the drivers, i also noticed that some values doesn't match, i don't know if they matched before, but the classguid in the .inf files differs from the value that the new unrecognizables devices shown, same thing happens with the hardware id's, i tried to change the values in the .inf files to force the install, but it didn't work... any idea?

saltthefries · 11/24/2009, 12:38 PM

I came across these drivers on another forum, and they seem to work in XP with 1.3.1. I'm able to access my Pre via serial in BitPim, but I'm not trying to use the phone for GPS right now.

grndslm · 11/25/2009, 04:39 AM

Hmm... so what now?? What's going on?

New drivers are needed for 1.3.1 or no?
