Since the Thunderbolt is hard coded to detect a particular week to determine if it should add 1024 to the week number, I would guess that each product has a magic date based on the anticipated release date of the product (week 936 for the Thunderbolt), and it will work for 1024 weeks from that date.
I cannot imagine a work around since the problem stems from the GPS service only identifying the current date within a particular 1024 weeks epoch unless the government changes the amount of data that is sent over the GPS system. Somebody has to use other method to determine the epoch and add the corresponding offset.
