Ever since mod 6 I've been having gps issues because by gps.conf file keeps getting overwritten. I want to restore a good copy but I am having problems getting the file to stick after a reboot.
I've tried many different methods:
adb remount
adb push gps.conf /system/etc
adb reboot
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3
cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf
and a few other ways.
After performing this I do see that the gps.conf file has changed when I cat it or look at it in a text editor on the phone. But when I reboot the gps.conf file is back to what it was before I attempted to change it.
To me this seems like the changes I am making are being written to memory and not the actual file. Thus, when a reboot happens what is in memory is wiped out and the original returns.
What am I missing here.

Ok with some help from a friend I found the problem. HTC has some kind off security turned on - S-ON that prevents writing to the filesystem; so the file was reverting when it rebooted or getting munged when it sat for a bit. Anyway, I had to use http://alpharev.nl/ to turn S-OFF.
