I tried to change the Egypt or remove it but no luck.
This Support folder on the core location was not there on the firmware 2.0.2..

Any help?

i Think it has nthn to do with the software it's all about itunes, it collects the information from the sim card u r activating with then it deactivates the GPS the same as the Locked iPhone 3Gs and the Officially Unlocked Ones, they are the same hardware and the same software but itunes check the imei, and check with apple servers then it unlocks it. So the problem this time is the iTunes not the software or even the hardware.
just my 2 cents
and btw i have an Officially Unlocked one from italy and its GPS is working so there's some luck in here.

And you sure you have blue dot? that follows you?
Or only a blue circle?

i think they are blocking all phone sold unlocked or sold in Egypt by the IMSI no. for the used sim card.
IMSI is 15 digit(some are 14)
the first 3 are fixd for each country.
so they block all IMSI no that start with egypt code.
so i think if we start searching in OS files, we will find one file which have this data (602).

Code:

---

bool CLDaemonModemModel::isGpsProhibitedByNetwork()
subscriber country %03d prohibits GPS
serving country %03d prohibits GPS
modem off

We Got It :).. Will try to patch it or find workaround..

See you soon.
