If you only deleted the GPS file it should affect your Settings.
Have you tried turning the phone off and restarting it?

well, it works fine.

However, in my somehow customized N1700 ROM both "Enable EPO" and "Enable AGPS" settings are absent from the MTK Uncle tools Location menu.

I was ready to eat my tie, but then I went to Settings/Location, and guess what, both Enable EPO and Enable AGPS are there.

Fix is almost immediate, better than on my Nexus 4.

Mobileuncle MTK Tools:
[Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]&hl=en

Root Explorer (File Manager):
[Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]&hl=en

GPS Test (not required but helps):
[Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]&hl=en

THIS SHOULD BE DONE OUTDOORS.

1. Turn GPS off on your phone.
2. Open Root Explorer and find the mtkgps.dat file in /data or /data/misc
3. Delete mtkgps.dat
4. Reboot phone
5. Open Mobileuncle Tools
6. Tap on 'Engineer Mode'
7. Tap on 'Engineer Mode (MTK)'
8. Scroll across to 'Location'
9. Tap on 'Location Based Service'
10. Tap on 'AGPS' and then make sure 'A-GPS On/Off' is checked
11. Tap on 'EPO' and then make sure 'Enable EPO' is checked
12. Swipe down (notification bar) and turn GPS on
13. Hit back and then tap 'YGPS'
14. Wait until you get position lock (mine took about 6 seconds).
15. This process should create a new mtkgps.dat file.
16. Hit home button and open GPS Test.
17. You should get a position lock reasonably quickly.

Even though you have enabled A-GPS and EPO you can now turn them off (although any subsequent position lock should be quicker if these are enabled).

I have managed to get a position lock on Google Maps with network data and WiFi turned off. I've also managed to get Sygic GPS to work with network data and WiFi turned off. Position lock took about 20s in both cases.

The above is a variant of the instructions given in this video:


I now have a MTK6589 phone with a very good GPS!
The main issue appears to be the initial mtkgps.dat file.

Great success!

Great News, that has just worked for me on my N9500, thank you.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much - It worked a treat.
Locked in about 5 secs!!!! Ye ha..
Cheers

I have tried this thread tutorial and plus the following fix.
I get very good locked GPS in 15s for outdoor and 40s for indoor.

Your phone must be root. Use Root Explorer to edit file root/etc/gps.conf
You need to go to pool.ntp.org to find your own country active servers. For my example as for Australia, replace the content with the following:

NTP_SERVER=0.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=au.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://gllto.glpals.com/4day/glo/v2/latest/lto2.dat
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://gllto.glpals.com/4day/glo/v2/latest/lto2.dat

# Accuracy threshold for intermediate positions

################################
##### AGPS server settings #####

# FOR SUPL SUPPORT, set the following

SUPL_PORT=7276
SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425
SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275

C2K_PORT=1234

CURRENT_CARRIER=common
DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE
DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE=FALSE

# TRUE for "User Plane", FALSE for "Control Plane"
DEFAULT_USER_PLANE=TRUE

Then save the file and set permission to rw-r-r--
Restart your phone then your done.

Here is your list.

NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.nl.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.nl.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.nl.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.nl.pool.ntp.org

Replace it with those first lines.
