Root [Verizon] GPS not working

[robin_]

My GPS has never worked well (I've had the phone since launch) but I haven't had the opportunity or motivation to deal with it.

A few months ago I rooted in the hopes that that might help, it didn't.

I did some reading and came across the suggestion to remove the battery cover and tighten the screws. That worked for a day.

Now it is back to not working. I tried the screws again but they were all snug and it didn't make a difference.

I finally called Verizon and they want me to do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then they'll replace it under warranty.

What will happen if I do a factory reset while rooted? I'm fine with losing root and if I'm going to return it for a warranty replacement I'd want it clean first anyway.

All you will lose in a factory reset while rooted is your apps/contacts/settings etc.
It will be as if you just flashed the rom
Nandroid backup just in case

So this is basically flashing the stock ROM?

Also, assuming this doesn't work (and I have no reason to believe it will) and I need to swap it out under warranty, what all should I do with the phone before I send it back?

Is just the factory reset (and pulling my SD, obviously!) enough or should I "un root"?

Edit...never mind, a friend just pointed me towards this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253

Many people have been able to tightened the screws and get gps to pick up. If they send you another phone it will be a refurb so if you take care of your stuff its worth giving the screws a shot.
