Relocking Vogue

i search to relock the vogue is there any way to relock it?

After running the HTC Vogue Update (RUU_Vogue_BM_WWE_1.17.666.1_1.59.10_BM_NV133_PRL31398_Ship.exe) My phone is 100% back to normal.

as has been said many times, imcokeman configured the unlocker/spl to automatically revert completely back to stock an locked after flashing an original/official/oem rom back to the device...such as the one referenced in the post above.
therefore: depending on what carrier you have, find that carriers latest stock official vogue rom, flash it, and wala, youre done.

hmm ok fair enough i see. just fyi to make sure tho..the gps for this device will be a-gps only, there is no gps antenna for real gps located on the device.

This has yet to be proved, nobody really knows for sure since it hasn't been enabled yet. Since its the same chipset as the Titan, it should have the same features/functionality when it comes to GPS.
I've seen people say its gonna be a combination of GPS and a-GPS, I've seen people say it'll only be a-GPS, and I've seen people say it doesn't have any GPS.
We won't really know until we can use it.

Titan vs. Touch
I had a titan for a few weeks before switching to the touch. While reva and gps were sweet on the titan its overall feel was cheap and plasticky. The Vogue is much faster and feels like a solid device. I'm willing to wait for the sprint update to see what this phone can really do.

I keep seeing this reference of "only aGPS" scattered around, and I think there's a serious misunderstanding.
aGPS is short for assisted GPS. That means that it is GPS with additional features to boost functionality. In its full spec -- and as available in Qualcomm's GPSOne implementation -- aGPS is fully capable of using satellites when they're available. This is used in conjunction with information from cell towers to further refine the position. When satellites are not available (such as when indoors), information from cell towers is used on its own.
Now, whether the phone manufacturer or the carrier activate all abilities is a different issue. They apparently can block access to satellites (at least to the user), and require that the phone be near their network to get a position.

GPS Update to HTC Touch (Vogue)

HI, I've been reading about the new Alltell update from HTC that was released a few days ago and the forums are buzzing with news of users who have actually gotten GPS to work on their touches.
I've attached here the 3 files needed to run the GPS on our phones but... alas cant tell you HOW to install them or where to install them. I too am looking for advice on how to proceed.
This is what I personally have been waiting for since I purchased my phone 6 months back so if we can get this working on the HTC Touches it would be GREAT.
(I was sick of reading through 30 pages over at PPCgeeks and here to see that no one actually said where to install the files or how to make the GPS antenna work once they are installed)

Google is your friend

Well that comment was contructive and... obvious. Thanks!
This threat was more for people being able to just come here and get the directions they need to active the GPS instead of read through like I said 30 some odd pages of information.

Those are not what you need.
1. Unlock with the new unlocker 2.31
2. Run Alltel update
3. Download the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1516102&postcount=3 and extract contents to your device.
4. Execute the 3 files located inside the newly extracted zip in order (they are named 1, 2, and 3).
5. Download the cab file from http://rapidshare.com/files/109911328/HTC_GPS_Enable_for_Titan_3.35.cab, copy to your device and execute.
6. Soft reset
That's it - you're done and GPS works.
Optionally, you may want to download/install QuickGPS, but Google Maps works without it.

does this work with Sprint devices as well?

Mm.... I just updated using the Alltel ROM, my download speeds are like 1400k and upload is around 120k.. phone seems to be a lot more responsive and battery life is seemingly better... I think I'll wait for an official Alltel GPS update!

Check me if I am wrong, but I think that thread is for the Alltel ROM being released for the Titan / Mogul, not the Touch / Vogue.

Ok, you're wrong.
The Alltel rom has been released for the Vogue/Touch. It has now been successfully installed on Sprint devices as well with the help of the new 2.31 unlocker by cokeman.
And yes, RevA and GPS now both work on the Vogue just like the Titan!

What about the Verizon xv6900? I haven't heard anything regarding it..everything has been been about sprint/alltel..

Oh, wait ... I probably wasn't clear. All I was hoping to do is keep folks from following the link from Draiko. When I click on the "Google is your friend" link, it leads to a forum post in the Titan / Mogul thread over at PPCGeeks.
The first post in that thread, includes a link to a ROM, which when downloaded, has the following name:
RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe
So, while Rev.A and GPS are now working for the Touch / Mougl, I am just trying to point out that the thread in the Titan / Mogul forum, which includes a link to the Titan / Mogul ROM, may not be as helpful as Draiko had intended.
Thanks for checking me dew.man.
Best regards,

Not possible?
I have called htc four times seeing as how u sometimes get dif answers from dif reps, and all 4 four told me that the alltel touch did not have the gps HARDWARE in it to even attempt to unlock. They said sprint touch was the only one that had the hardware. 2 reps said alltel requested this just for price. Same thng frm an alltel tech too. The 6800 is the only gps/wifi hardware equipd htc @ alltel? is this true?

NO. They are the exact same hardware except for the casing.

I'm running the CDMA touch from Telus... basically my understanding is its the same thing as any other vogue. That said.. I've been steering clear away from putting any cooked roms or anything on my phone as I dont want to fry it. I thought that maybe all I had to do was bring those 3 files over onto my phone somewhere and then prestro... gps. Right now I connect via bluetooth to a gps receiever and use navigon and tom tom. Has anyone had anyluck using the internal GPS with these programs? I tend to just leave my reciever connected in my truck but for when I am walking around it would definatly be usefull to use the internal antenna.
Thanks!

The Chipset includes the aGPS chip. I think it's actually part of the processor. All the MSM 7500 and 7200 chipsets have the port to add WiFi hardware but it wasn't implemented in any of the Vogues. But all the Vogues, Telus, Sprint, Verizon, and Alltell are the same hardware wise.

now just gotta wait for a 6.1 rom with it all on it damn im picky LOL

You'd need to flash the Alltell rom because it updates your radio... ... ... but hopefully someone will come up with a more graceful option in the future.

Wouldn't it be somehow possible to extract only the radio update from that rom? Like 'un-cook' it heh
Install that, copy gps files, and that would be a quick solution.

Yep, just did the Alltell/Sprint update on my Verizon XV6900 this morning and everything works great. RevA, Windows Mobile 6.1, and GPS.

If your rooted... what would stop the Fm radio from working?

We all know by now Verizon doesnt want us to have an Fm radio on our phones... If rooted what stops us?

It's been assumed the physical FM chip is grounded which means no software in the world will make it function unless it's manually altered which means opening the phone. Not many are willing to risk ruining a phone for FM radio.

LG G4 H812 - Any way to get the FM Radio (RDS) to work?

I have done quite a bit of research and it seems like the FM Radio RDS is Disabled on all Canadian Versions of the LG G4. It's such a shame because I find this feature very nice and I use to use it all the time on the Sony Ericsson back in the day. I know the H815 version supports FM Radio, but the problem is it doesn't work on the AWS Frequency (Mobilicity and WIND, which I am on).
Just wondering if anyone has got the FM Radio to work on their LG G4 H12 version yet?
Now i'm not talking about TuneIn Radio or applications of that nature. Those applications use Data or WiFi.
Just to clarify, i'm talking about FM Radio using RDS. Which means when you plug in headphones/earbuds into the headphone jack, the phone uses the wire as a antenna and let's you listen to radio stations. Without having to rely on Data or Wifi. I know it's old school, but it's a feature that I would still put a lot of use into.
Anyways let me know guys. and thanks!

Probably not likely to happen. A lot of phones have it disabled in hardware (the connection just isn't there between the headphone jack and the FM chip (which is usually the same as the Bluetooth module).
Main phones available in Canada that have FM Radio support are the ASUS Zenfone 2, Moto X Play, and possibly some of the HTC phones (don't quote me on that last one - I haven't tried one in a while)

The H815(International Version) has the EXACT same hardware and frequency bands, so you can flash the H815 version onto your Canadian version (H812) and have all the stock LG apps and functionality.
SORRY GUYS THIS DOES NOT WORK UNLESS YOU UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER. THE BOOTLOADER OF LG G4 H812 CANADIAN VERSION IS BY DEFAULT LOCKED SO YOU CANNOT FLASH ANY OTHER FIRMWARE. MY ADVICE FOR YOU IS TRADE IT FOR THE H815 EUROPEAN OR H811 T-MOBILE VARIANT IF YOU WANT THE FULL FEATURES. THANKS AND SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS. I FEEL YOUR PAIN, I NOW HAVE THE H815 EUROPEAN VERSION AND IT HAS THE DEFAULT FM RADIO AND SMARTWORLD AND ALL THE ORIGINAL STOCK SOFTWARES. IT IS AMAZING LETS SIGN A PETITION TO LG TO GET YOUR BOOTLOADERS UNLOCKED THEN YOU CAN FLASH H815 ROM ONTO IT AND HAVE ALL THE DEFAULT APPS WORKING.

This is totally INACCURATE ...

If you follow this individuals proclamation you will brick your phone. The H812 has a locked bootloader and cannot be officially unlocked - if you follow it, it will prove harmful and costly to your mobile health. He has not bothered to correct this post, even though he now knows this to be true. If you want FM radio, you will need to get another phone, like he has since done.
S.

Can someone confirm whether it is disabled at the hardware or software level? Thanks

I don't know but you can try the following to see if the radio works. This could prove if it's a hardware/software restriction.
1. Go to your dialler and enter: *#546368#*812#
2. Go to Device Test -> SAAT -> Service Menu - Manual Test -> FMRadio Test
3. With headphones plugged in, test if you can hear anything at all.

The H812 does not have the FMRadio Test in the Hidden menu, anywhere, whatsoever. If the hardware was there, the test for it would be there. Unlike member BAD_ASS, who doesn't own an H812 anymore (he has an H815 now) and wouldn't know without getting someone who does own one to find out, I do own one and am very familiar with it.
Member BAD_ASS has continued to try and denigrate the H812 by posts like his childish, immature large font #3 post above (not his first by any means) as well as members who have legitimately tried to help others. His sole reason for posting on threads concerning the H812 is to try (somewhat more subtly now in some cases) and show how how smart he is and was by lying to an unsuspecting dealer in Qatar that his H812 was a US model in order to gain an H815 for what he purports was no cost to him (his Mommy, however, may have something to say about this claim of his). He has had his posts cleaned at least twice for wasting space and has provided misleading, inaccurate and in more than one occasion very harmful (hard bricking) advice to many unsuspecting members. Just a few of the reasons he has had his account suspended twice by the moderators
Fair warning.

I see what you're onto, but you are still running the same software version. To get accurate results, we need to bypass the stock ROM.
I'd greatly appreciate if a H811 user with unlocked bootloader can flash the European H815 rom and see whether the FM Radio feature comes to life. Not sure if this has been done before, but if so, please do let me know. Thanks.
Supposing this works, we can try to flash H815 rom onto H812 with SteadfasterX's new method for devices with Locked bootloaders, like the H812.

Post #3 was just me warning everyone about that claim I made, which I now know could cause damage. It is in big bold red letters for emphasis. Yes it is true my mother bought me the H812 for my 16th birthday, and I didn't spend a single cent on it, true, but I had no idea my claims could be harmful back then, so please forgive.
Sorry for assuming this would work. But you cannot blame me for assuming, as you are doing the same thing with the FM Radio being disabled on the Hardware level. You are also making assumptions.
Also keep in mind, I don't have to give help and suggestions to you H812 owners. I have an H815 now and I can completely disregard your existence, but I have compassion and want to help you guys have the same experience as I do with my H815, so I give you suggestions and ideas that may or may not work. Unfortunately I cannot test any of these claims, as I don't have your device anymore. If I could test them, I would.

Guys i will assume this is just like the g3 in the end you can possibly get static i did on a att g3 but the antenna is not soldered and you will never get reception.
The hardware does not support it. And no u cant solder it yourself.

Hardware. Hense why it wont accept a headphone as being inserted. Its disable hardware and software. There is a part of the fm chip that isnt solderd its not possible to solder it. So the antennas arent grounded. If im not mistaken it lays in with the snapdragon.

This statement from the Spirit 2 app on Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.a2d.s2) would certainly support the notion that it is hardware dependent.

The LG G4 wireless chip is from Broadcom and has a closed-source driver. It is proprietary code. Carrier unlocking or rooting will not enable wireless FM on your phone and the Next Radio or Spirit FM apps will not work . As much as member BAD_ASS or any other member might like to think they can solve it, they can't unless LG makes it open-source or provides their private proprietary coded FM app to the carrier phone model and software version.

Hardware storage upgrade?

So I assume the storage isn't part of the SoC like the memory/CPU etc, would it be possible to solder another, bigger chip to it? I'm a total noob about these things but it still interests me, so I was curious if anyone ever tried or looked into it before, thanks!

very very unlikely imho

There is a Way for more Memory:
Install Lineage OS 14.1 on an Xperia Play.
This OS will be installed on an SD Card and use the SD Card as internal Memory.

there is schematics for the play but they dont tell everything. especially because youd have to modify the kernel and almost no one is left in the xperia play scene with any technical knowledge it would be too much work.
