    Hi folks, I have an iPhone 3GS (old model) and upgrade iOS ot 4.3.3 using redSn0w rc16 and baseband 06.15.00. Also lost GPS signal. I've installed TomTom 1.7 and iGO also and none of them can get a satellite fix/lock. :-( I've found this link and was wondering if it would work for the 3GS http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-downgrade-iphone-06.15.00-baseband-to-05.13.xx-iphone-3g-bootloader-5.8-only/

    is there any hope on recovering the GPS functionality for us that we had to move to 06.15.00?

    Wouldn't it be better if we were supplied with an email to send something like our phone's serial or something to? Wouldn't be happy sending IMEI number but if there was some sort of code that would help track down which models exactly are doing this with the low signal on GPS. As mine is... Just a thought :)

    I've just tried xGPS from cydia, which was mentioned in an earlier comment.it seems to be locating me successfully, any other feedbacks about that?what if GPS was able to send the coordinates to Navigon or Maps?

    Same thing: 3G, 06.15, 4.2.1, unlocked w/ Ultrasn0w, installed SAM - GPS still not working.All you guys that claim GPS working please make sure it really is. If you are in WiFi or cellular network you do get located but yet it doesn't mean your GPS is working. You need further testing to make sure. Otherwise you are rather preventing the community from fixing it.

    Same upgrade as the others, with 4.2.1, and GPS problems. I use TomTom and Google Maps the most. But my apps seem to get a first update as the app starts. It is not very accurate (up to 500m) but enough to download the area map in Google Maps. After that I get no more GPS updates, ever. I have noticed my 3G runs a lot slower with the new baseband so perhapsthat has somethin gto do with it?

    I have an iPhone 3G upgraded to 6.15 to use T-moblie (walmart family). I was on 4.2.1. I used redsnow to jailbreak and ultrasnow to unlock. Unlock did not work on 4.2.1 so I upgraded to 6.15 and the unlock already applied worked. It works great now - even GPS when I'm off wireless. Bluetooth does not work however. But I'm happy to use my iPhone for a good plan at $45 a month instead of AT&T overpriced services. I have the 5.09 bootloader so at this point I'm stuck here. I really appreciate all the hard work folks did so we can use our iPhones as we see fit - not as forced on use by a corporation with too much money and time on theri hands.Apple needs to find something better to do with their 80 billion cash reserves than screw with their customers iPhones - and no I'm not going to go buy an Android! So quit screwing with us Apple! Steve couldn't take all that money with him, so why are you messing with your loyal customers? I'm just asking!

    Lost gps on iPad bb whats the eta on the fix? I see the 3GS has been fixed and the 3G kind of left on the back burner since the launch of iOS 5.

    Hello nick. this sounds like good news... can you please test this with GPS Status to see if you really get a good fix...Will be good to test it with wi-fi off, cause wifi helps gps acuracy, and at the mountain we have no wifi.Thanks for your help!

    Ok guys I've done the big mistake by updating to iOS5 via iTunes the other day, realised I should have used redsn0w etc instead but anyway I have baseband 06.15.00 and 4.3.3 but things are just going wrong still. So just to make sure, is this correct:I want to just ignore getting a Jailbreak for now and use my phone like normal. So I update through iTunes to iOS 5.0.1, (already got baseband 06.15.00) and then have my phone unlocked by the original network it came with (T-Mobile).Thats correct right? Just want to be able to use my phone like normal for calling etc, I can do without a jailbreak for now.

    I have a MB model iPhone 3g on 4.2.1 and when I try to update to the iPad bb in redsn0w, an error tab comes up and redsn0w exits. When I try with Sn0wbreeze it shows that it is working while restoring the firmware, but when it finishes my iPhone just gets the "connect to iTunes" logo and shows a 1002 error code in iTunes and says iPhone cannot be restored. I need some help
