Root Google Maps navigation no longer working

I've had this issue for a while, but for some reason either because of a google maps update or my phone's GPS giving out, google maps navigation never works. It just says "searching for GPS" in the notification dropdown, and the arrow just sits stationary and never moves in the application, even when I'm driving. When I exit out of navigation in the app, my blue dot works completely fine. It moves to my direction and movement. I've tested this issue using both carbon rom, and as of right now, using the latest xperion rom with the latest freedom kernel. I'm also using the SD card hack if that would make a difference. This is a really annoying issue that's forcing me to buy a new phone that has a working GPS because I need it for driving. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
If I remember correctly there is a sensor fix in the sd hack thread. You can try that or try gps without the sd hack. Not sure if this would help, but take a look just in case.

Also in most cases you can fix issues on the phone by factory restoring it with the kdz method. Click my signature and go to F6 section for the restore guide.

I feel like a noob but I can't find the kdz method of factory restoring. I do know how to use the lg mobile support tool restore method though. I tried installing the sensor fix with the sd hack and also tried it without the sd hack at all. Still no working google maps :(
