No GPS ... help ;/

I'm having a problem with my GPS signal on Infuse.
I cannot get any satellites connection, moreover the phone does not see any satellites in GPS Test. (I had phone sitting outside for quite some time and nothing happend, while other phone with the same GPS test got fix within seconds).
I thought that the problem was in ROM I've been running, first CM10 and then Paranoid, but today I flashed back to stock hopeing that it was faulty flash of ROM but .... no connection at all.
Does anyone ever had similar problem or knows the solution?
I'm using my Infuse in Europe (Poland) if that matters at all to any of the settings.

Hi,
More information :
Post the link to your ROM
Post gps.conf (system/etc/)
Post logs when your GPS turn on (ex:grep in logcat command)

yes, it seems like it is working right.
I even upgraded the ROM to see if that would make a difference but the same thing happens.
I cannot save any gps.conf file (i found two of them, one in system/etc, and the other one in etc/ - or is it the same location ?)
regards the new rom - i'm running the newest release of PA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742073) that supposed to have the best GPS so far.
the wierd thing is, i've tried to change the permission of that file in total commander but it gave me an error message saying that the file is "read only", but when i downloaded faster fix from market to change the ntp file it did it right away.....
Can it be a hardware issue ??

remount /system r/w
try this command in terminal emulator or adb shell
sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
if you do this from adb you might need to grant it superuser permissions from a popup on the phone screen or you might get a permission denied error.
then try to edit and save gps.conf

Is there any app/software that would tell me if the hardware part of gps is faulty or not ? Maybe this is the issue ?

try changing the file permissions again. try it in command line.
su
cd /system/etc
ls -l
(this should print the files in the folder and show the permissions, note what the permissions for gps.conf are i'm guessing wr-r--r--)
chmod 666 gps.conf
then edit the file.
now if the permissions for the file were wr-r-r- then the proper code to set it back to is 644
after you edit the file go back to command line and type
su
cd /system/etc
chmod 644 gps.conf

This time it worked. I types the settings from the code, rebooted but after 15 minutes or so sitting outside with gps test on still could not get any satellites in view. Also i can no longer edit gps.conf (after the reboot). I tried changing the attributes to 666 like before but now i'm getting info in terminal emulator that the file is read only...

You have to remount /system again. For some reason some ROMs don't let some apps do this even if it's a root app. You might be able to leave GPS.conf as 666 or 664 permissions but you will always have to remount /system rw after a reboot. Root explorer is usually good with being able to Mount rw but it might also be some configuration file in the rom so I don't know if buying root explorer will solve that for you.
Edit; if you are on a stock ROM and see no satellites you may have some weird error that needs a factory reset, when the GPS is completely stuck like that a full wipe through settings might help. I don't really know why this is but it seems to help sometimes. First thing to do is back up anything important to your computer. A reset through setting even formats the sdcard. Consider it a last resort but it sometimes helps.

I've ben able to use root explorer with this rom to change the GPS.conf, after you select rw, you have to open the file with a text edit program, make your changes, save the file, and reboot.

I was able to access the file after remounting the system.
But still no satellites in view

[SOLVED] Root issue & Ardatdat's Kernel screen freeze issue (with some)

So i was updating my CWM version and suddenly in the midway my laptop went beserk.
I had to re-flash my phone..and then the CWM (now back to the old version)
But this strange thing happened.
I used to root my device with a particular zip that always worked.
This time it failed.
I downloaded SuperSU v0.99 and the installation was aborted as no files were found by CWM.
So i downloaded the SU binaries and flashed them. The root checker app said:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then i tried installing SuperSU by chainfire and this popped up.
Then
What should i do now. Unrooted my phone now using a zip given in some previous thread
How to root my phone now.
Tried the steps given in our buddy Mj.Vikrams thread, but to gains. Ugh.
Help!
[EDIT] Solution to the ardatdat's screen freeze problem occurring with few.
Pre-requisite
a) CWM
b) Ardatdat's kernel v4.2 beta 6
c) Updated Su BInaries flashable zip.
Procedure
1. Install CWM.
2. Boot into CWM (recovery) and Flash Ardatdat's kernel v4.2 beta6
3. Wipe cache and Dalvik's cache
4. Power off phone
5. Turn off phone after 5 minutes, let the android upgrade.
6. Turn off phone again and boot into recovery again.
7. Flash updated su binaries zip
8. Wipe Cache
9. Turn on phone and face no screen freeze issues.! :victory:

What I did was to flash ardatdat's kernel 4.2-beta6. It's pre-rooted

Yeah..but the ardatdats kernel has some problem with the superuser.
It makes my screen go blank and then i have to remove the battery and restart it.
I used to do the same.
But a possible solution was rooting the phone first and then installing ardatdats kernel.

Busy Box is something that you install on your phone to give you some additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks.

It is in their thread that some phones might not be able to flash SuperSU via cwm.
So what is the other way round??

My exact problem is with the ardatdat's kernel causing screen freeze issues.
So i wanted to root my phone first and then install the kernel. So that the kernel will not install its own.superuser.

It will not root the device if it is already rooted. It checks for the 'su' binary in '/system/bin/' and '/system/xbin/' first.
Code:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
##### Install SU #####
if [ -f /system/bin/su ] ;
then
echo "su already exists in /system/bin/ :)"
else
if [ -f /system/xbin/su ] ;
then
echo "su already exists in /system/xbin/ :)"
else
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper1.apk
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper1.odex
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper2.apk
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper2.odex
rm /system/app/YouTube.apk
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /data/app/Superuser.apk
mkdir /system/xbin
cat /sbin/xiaolu/files/su > /system/bin/su
ls > /system/etc/init.lstest.txt
cat /sbin/xiaolu/files/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
chown 0.0 /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system

##### Install SU OK #####

Re: Root issue.

But then no superuser is found neither does the root checker app say that my phone has not got proper root access.

That is because it is already rooted and ardatdats kernal does not apply its root on a rooted phone.
See post by Adam Sir here.
So...that is why...
I want to stay on the Stock ICS with ardatdats kernel to try something...
It has a problem in here.

Buddy, Be specific. You want Root with ardatdat's kernel & not ardatdat's SU..right..???
so, update su binaries using busybox & revert.

You can't update 'su' binaries with busybox. su binaries are a part of the superuser package. Busybox is used to install, update and symlink busybox applets like cp, mkdir, cat, rm, ls etc. Busybox depends on su binaries not the other way round buddy.

NAND Problem. please look

Ok People. I think i have damaged my htc pico NAND thingy. I have followed the procedure for installing ROMS( doing factory reset wipe cache format etc ) but cant pass the HTC Logo on most ROMS. only AteeqRom is working but when it starts and i pull the screenlock it is giving me alot of force crashes even i cant get into menu. the problem is I cant get into menu. i have seen the recovering from NAND damaged procedure by cute_prince . but the problem is it is not passing the lookscreen. please help me i dont want to lose my phone at this stage. any help will be appreciated. Thanks alot.

Did you overclock your Explorer-thingy?
I mean, over-clocking the CPU, GPU, etc.could have caused the NAND-frying, if you had overclocked them. If you haven't overclocked, then, there is no reason to be worried of.(except for a hard-brick, though.)
Since you told that you followed the NAND recovery procedure, nothing should have happened to your NAND if it wasn't damaged in the first place. But, if it wasnt properly, it would have caused damage.
Anyways, try flashing new recovery, and then, superwipe by akya22, and then, whatever ROM you want to flash.:good:

did everything.
most of the rom is not even starting. i have managed to pass the lockscreen on ateeq rom only ateeq rom is working. i did everything flash recovery and all those reset thingys. but i am getting alot of force crashes and very very low 4mb internal storage. nothing is working correctly. i have not overclocked my cpu. i just flashed CM9 B14 and after that nothing was fine before. i dont understand the cute_prince technique of recovering from nand. i am noob. so help here.

did you read this thread?=>Troubleshooting htc pico(explorer)

If I paste my code in cmd it doesn't recognize the command. I downloaded adb ,extracted it and then use shell to enter commands one by one and I connected the phone and mounted the sysytem and the commands were executed without any problem except for "su" which says "not found". Other commands seem to work and the last three commands each of the says "100% completed" in the shell. So there doesn't seem to be a problem in the execution of these commands but su doesn't work though. That can be the problem. But I have windows 8 and when I pasted the code in cmd admin , it doesn't recognize so I can't do it that way

Whenever I flash a new rom I wipe each and everything. SO, there is not a problem as far as that is concerned. I tried wipe system command in adb shell and even in terminal emulator in twrp and it gives error wiping a number of memory allocations. Should I try the whole procedure on windows 7?

Windows 8 had issue with the htc drivers.. i think updating the drivers to newer version will fix the problem in windows 8 itself..

A couple of reasons why this tool "might" not work:
Hi! First of all, I haven't tried out this "tool" yet, as I don't have windows :silly:
But, there are a couple of reasons why I think that your tool "might" not work at all times.
First of all, enabling "USB Debugging" alone is not enough. You need to configure root access for both "Apps and ADB" in the case of CyanogenMod. (AOKP provides root access by default, so, it wouldn't be a problem in the case of AOKP.)
After enabling root access to both "Apps and ADB", you "might" need to invoke "su" at least once. And, mounting the /system partition as r/w is a "must-do".
I have made some changes to the code, using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Guide:Using_the_Terminal) as reference.
Code:
@ECHO OFF

ECHO OneClick Bootanimator For HTC EXPLORER[CM Roms]

ECHO Make sure you put your custom bootanimation.zip in this folder!
ECHO Use this at your own risk!

adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 system /system
ECHO Rebooting device...
adb reboot
ECHO Reboot command initiated.
ECHO Thanks for using this script.
PAUSE
EXIT
And, a humble request... Do try to keep the code understandable. Example: The output "Finished re-booting" comes before the script initiates rebooting sequence.
Do let me know if this works
