Here's a tutorial for the new users facing unanswered (at a first glance) questions while browsing through the tremendous amount of information that can be found on the Diamond Forum.
A more detailed guide, one which contains screenshots too, can be found in The Bible!
IMPORTANT!
Before you proceed, you need to understand one thing: although these upgrades work in 99% of the cases, you are doing this at your own risk!
Prerequisites:
1. make sure you backup all data on your device (that is contacts, sms, mms, settings, owner info, personalization, etc.) as the upgrade process will wipe out all the information found on the device.
2. make sure you have a working ActiveSync (Windows™ XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista™) connection established, ready to sync.
3. make sure you have all power management options on your PC turned OFF (like Sleep, Standby or Hibernation).
Preface:
There may be other ways and other combinations to do this, probably I will update this thread and try to keep it up to date, but this tutorial is based on the steps I personally followed, writing this while doing the upgrade procedure.
Acronyms (excerpt from the Wiki):
CID lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
Hard Reset: Similar to a soft reset, by performing a hard reset you completely wipe your device and restore it to the position it was in when you first turned the device on after it was purchased or after a new ROM is flashed.
Radio: The radio stack is responsible for the phone functionality of the device. This includes GPRS, GSM, UMTS, and GPS operations as well as camera functionality. The version you use depends on who your carrier is as users have reported versions working better on one carrier than the other. The wiki pages contain the latest versions available to download and install.
ROM: The ROM holds the Operating system and other components such as the bluetooth and wifi stacks. The ROM is accompanied by the Radio, Ext_ROM, SPL and IPL. Carriers such as T-mobile or Vodaphone taylor the ROM to their specifications and version numbers do not carry the same meaning across different carriers. IF the carrier you use supports the device well they will usually release regular ROM updates.
RUU - ROM Upgrade Utility: It’s the s/w used on your PC to do a ROM upgrade for your PPC;
IPL - Initial Program Loader: It’s the bootloader for PPC. It boots up SPL;
SPL - Secondary Program Loader: Loads the actual OS;
WWE: World Wide English Edition;
SSPL: SSPL is a modified bootloader which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty.
A. Upgrading to HardSPL (Bible page)
There are several HardSPL editions available for the Diamond. While I have decided to go with the HardSPL described in this guide, the majority of Chefs indicate clearly in the ROM thread what version of HardSPL is recommended to go with their cooked ROM.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure you have the prerequisites!
1. Download OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL (Developers Edition) from here;
2. Unzip the files from the archive to any new folder;
3. Run the executable (in most cases it is ROMUpdateUtility.exe, but it also can be ROM.exe or any other name, recognize it by the icon);
4. If you understand the caution and risks, check the box and click Next;
5. Read carefully and follow all directions;
6. If you completed all steps indicated, check the box and click Next;
7. Next screen will show current version on device and by clicking Update you will see the version to be flashed;
8. Click Next when ready;
9. Your device might ask you for confirmation on launching a program. Just tap Yes! Your device will display a completely black screen. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen. Be patient while your device is being updated. Do not interact with device in any way, do not unplug cable, do not turn off device or computer!
10. When upgrading is finished, your device will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU.
To verify if you indeed have correct HardSPL on your device, enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side.
It should display*:
* In case of another HardSPL, the version number would differ!
Code:
…
SPL-1.40.OliNex
…
If this is the case, you have successfully upgraded your device to HardSPL.
B. Upgrading Radio (Bible page)
There are several Radios for the Diamond, although 1.00.25.05 has been reported to have the best results and power management, plus it fixes the device getting hot issue.
These reports are subjective though. Radio operation depends very much on your location, carrier, etc. If one Radio version does not meet your needs, switch!
IMPORTANT!
Make sure you have the prerequisites!
IMPORTANT!!!
Make sure that before this step, your device has already been upgraded to HardSPL
1. Download Custom RUU from here;
2. Download Radio 1.00.25.05 (and others) from here;
3. Extract the downloaded Custom RUU from step 1 into a new folder on your PC.
4. Extract the downloaded Radio version from step 2 in the same folder as the Custom RUU.
5. Execute DiamondCustomRUU.exe.
6. If you understand the caution and risks, check the box and click Next;
7. Read carefully and follow all directions;
8. If you completed all steps indicated, check the box and click Next;
9. Next screen will show current version on device and by clicking Update you will see the version to be flashed;
10. Click Next when ready;
11. Your device might ask you for confirmation on launching a program. Just tap Yes! Your device will display a completely black screen. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen. Be patient while your device is being updated. Do not interact with device in any way, do not unplug cable, do not turn off device or computer!
12. When upgrading is finished, your device will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU.
To verify if you indeed have successfully upgraded Radio, look for the R numbers at boot as well as in Start, Settings, System, Device Information.
If the numbers are correct, you have successfully upgraded your Radio.
C. Flashing a ROM (applies to both Official and Cooked ROMs) (Bible page)
IMPORTANT!
Make sure you have the prerequisites!
IMPORTANT!!!
Make sure that before this step, your device has already been upgraded to HardSPL.
IMPORTANT!!!
Remember: there is no better ROM!
We all judge ROMs by our own subjective perception: some look for speed, others for balance, others for stability, others for applications, others for the looks! Do not ask which ROM to use, just flash it! If you don’t like it, SWITCH!
IMPORTANT!!!
READ the ROM thread! You can find useful information regarding version, contents, aspect, memory usage, bugs, fixes, patches, add-ons, benchmarks and most important, Chefs recommend you HardSPL versions to use. Also, some Chefs might have included Radio in their ROMs. That info you can find also while reading the ROM thread.
1. Download the ROM of your choice;
2. Unzip the contents to a new folder;
3. Run the RUU;
4. If you understand the caution and risks, check the box and click Next;
5. Read carefully and follow all directions;
6. If you completed all steps indicated, check the box and click Next;
7. Next screen will show current version on device and by clicking Update you will see the version to be flashed;
8. Click Next when ready;
9. Your device might ask you for confirmation on launching a program. Just tap Yes! Your device will display a completely black screen. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen. Be patient while your device is being updated. Do not interact with device in any way, do not unplug cable, do not turn off device or computer!
10. When upgrading is finished, your device will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU.

good work m8
lets hope people take the time to read this first
Great work!
I just wanted to thank you for your work, tnyynt
When I began reading how to do all these updates on the diamond I was rather confused about the loads of information here in this forum. Since there are many different SPLs, radios, roms and cabs it was hard to find out which one is the right one for me. I spent many hours to read (I know that reading is essential when you want to manipulate your device).
So I really appreciate your tutorial although I managed to update HardSPL and Radio without a compact help like yours. As I said - it was not easy to find all the needed information - even with RTFM and using the search function here.
So, once again: thank you very much!
woohoo give the man a pat on his back All newbies read!
Hello there.. great forum, many usefull stuff for HTC users..
I need some help.. noob stuff i supose.
A. Upgrading to HardSPL
I cant get over the first step I extracted & installed the SPL-1.40.OliNex along with other versions from this forum... but no use on my Diamond
After pressing volume down key + reset button, no changes are visible... can it be there is some new version thats immune on this type of software modifying?
The data that im currently seeing on device boot is:
R 1.00.25.03
G 52.26a.25.09
D 1.37.00.00
Solved my problems with HardSPL 1.24
+ for the tutorial...
I see a reference to the hermes device in the HardSPL section - that might confuse people LOL.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your Hermes device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.

Other than that Great stuff
Maybe you can extend your tutorial to flashing back to original ROM for warranty purposes. Especially getting rid of the Hard-SPL after reflashing the original ROM.
Except that - great job!
A link to the proceedings of flashin back to original ROM:

wow
thats a cool work done by tnyynt. keep up the grace of moderators.
This thread is really going to help me for my first upgrade. Many thanks for you work!
Thanks a bunch tnyynt - very useful
THIS IS what a lot of people was waiting for!
Thank you. Hope it will stop most of basic questions.
Well just to say that I followed all the steps of this tutorial and everything went just fine! Good job!
awesome tutorial
I didd not see this thread before, great stuff, it answers all the questions I had before flashing my diamond.
Thank you!!
Thank You very much. Great idiot proof Tut.
Keep up the good work.
I am so grateful you can't even imagine!
I've been trying for the longest time to upgrade my ROM
I've spent probably about 8 hours trawling this site (and others) trying to get all the info I needed together, and I've been moaning to a mate about 'why doesn't someone just post a 123 step by step guide because then I could go through step by step and I'd be able to easily identify the step(s) i was missing out.
This post did just that! I thought that the Rom included the radio so I wouldn't need to download the radio seperately and put it in the same folder as the ROM. Did that and now it is actually installing where it just sat there for 15 minutes before and then said it had lost connection.
Granted it's currently only at around 40% but that is 40% more than I ever got before and I can see it is going to work.
Thanks you!
Hey guy's I'm totally new to my Touch, I just got it from Ebay. I was wandering what the best theme or "rom" I believe you guys are calling it is. Like looks wise, speed, and just how well it runs, the diamond one looks the best. How do I install it also? A noob guide would be nice for me! I'm use to regular phones, but I'm not slow so it shouldn't be a problem.
Your post is in the Vogue section so I will assume you have the CDMA model?
You have to check to see what radio you are using and what version of windows you have.
The standard is wm6.1, and a higher radio ie. 3.42.50
Look under settings / device information for this info. You also want to consider what carrier you are with.
You have 2 options.
1. use a stock ROM, and update to touchFlo 2d (Manila 2D)
There are lots of guides here on XDA, here is the one that came with version 16:
1A. install M2D-Beta-0.07.cab
1B. GO TO START, THEN SETTINGS, THEN TODAY ICON, THEN ITEMS ICON, AND FINALLY UNCHECK TOUCHFLO (DO THIS SO THERE IS NO INSTALLATION ERRORS).
2. install OX-ManilaCompatibleSharedDLL.cab
3. install ContactFix.cab
4. install 2d_Audio_manager.cab
5. install Audio_Booster.cab
6. install HTCAlbum.cab
7. install OutlookEnhancement.cab
8. install AdobeFlash3.1_plugin.cab
9. install Fullscreen_Player.cab
10. install GoogleMaps_compressed.cab
11. install TaskManager.cab
12. install HTCYouTube.cab
13. open D Comm Manager file
14. install 1st D CommManager.cab
15. install 2nd D Comm Manager
16. click back button
17. open opera 1957 file
18. install Opera_Default_REG.cab
19. install Opera9.5.1957device.WWE1.cab
20. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, TODAY, ITEM, AND CHECK TOUCHFLO.
21. BACK OUT OF SETTINGS AND ENJOY.
The version I used was 21 (Elfin version)
Some steps to prep not listed are to install HTTC home customizer first, and edit your registry to disable the cube.
Here is the M2D thread (give yourself some hours!!)
After your done, search the forums, there is a manila 2d customizer, different opera versions, loads of skins, clocks etc.
If all this is a bit much to chew for now there is option 2:
2. Use a custom ROM
a. unlock your phone ( ImCoKeMaN's Vogue unlocker found here : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370)
b. upgrade your radio (most recomend the Bell ROM for that, if your not with Bell do not let the customizations run)
c. Load a custom ROM (Most Vogue users rightfuly recomend NFSFans ROMS for good reasons)
And enjoy your journey. The great thing about a winmo device is the abilility to customize it and make it yours. You'll have fun and learn lots.
P.S. There are other ui's throttlelock, wisebar, sbd shell, etc etc. Google these and see what fits you.
Have fun!!
"upgrade your radio (most recomend the Bell ROM for that, if your not with Bell do not let the customizations run)"
How do you keep them from running?
I am assuming i download the bell update from htc and install it to get the radio, how do i keep the customizations from running?
Thanks,
Jack
There is a small hole at the bottom of your phone, it is for soft resseting.
Keep your stylus handy...
When customizations are about to start, press your stylus into that hole and soft reset.
BTW, what carrier are you with?
You may need to run your carriers ppst file after, if you let me know who your with I can point you in the right direction.
will the screen say running customizations? How will I know when to push the reset?
I am with Cellular South. Where do I get their customizations from?
thank you,
Jack
1. Yes it says customizations are about to install, it even has a bit of a delay before they do.
2. Cellsouth?? Darn, I googled it and couldn't find a carrier cab for it. I did find this link (to ppc geeks, another forum)
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=433088#post433088
I think if you let customizations run for the wrong carrier your data connection will be broken. How to fix that is over my head, we have alot of talented people on this forum for whom this would be child's play. Maybe start a new thread titled "help for cellular south....upgrading radio" and one of them will take notice.
I apologize for not being able to help further.
Jason
If I don't let customizations run at all I should be able to set up my data stuff manually though right?
If anyone could tell me how I could pull the settings from my phone before I change it.
Thanks for the help, at least I know what I'm looking for and what to ask for as I persue this.
anyone out there have a Cellular South customizations cab?
Jack
Give this a try and let me know how it works out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52220&d=1190867933
Best of luck
Jason
ok, just for the benefit of anyone else following this. The customization cabs for cellular south are in the windows directory under customize1.sa.cab, customize2.sa.cab, customize3.sa.cab. These run in order the first boot up after a hard reset to customize for cellular south on my touch, the exe file then deletes itself rom the startup folder. I was able to copy these files to my sd card. I then unlocked with coke 2.31, upgraded radio will bell stock rom and reset before customizations, loaded a custom rom (omj manila 2d) then after a couple of soft resets ran the three cabs in order and did another soft reset. Device is working great, data runs fine, texting, phone, everything else seems fine.
I hope this benefits someone facing the same questions I had. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions as I learned the differences in this device and my trusty old apache.
Jack
For the slow peope, like me, that customize screen is fast. Any way to just install the radio? I know the radio was ripped from the rom, as I'm running the vogue radio on my titan. I installed it via sdcard. Can it be done the same way with the vogue?

I'm going to be doing custom rom, I think I've done what needs to be done, I went to the coke thread and installed 2.31 I followed the on screen instructions my phone made me reset and such, I then installed the newest Telus ROM, not Bell but Telus. Now how do I load a custom rom? I downloaded one by NFSFans one.
Just refresh my memory, what's the radio version on Telus?

I always soft boot when I see the 'Tap to set up Windows' prompt. This way you don't even get close to the 'Customizing in 3 seconds' window.
So a little background first. I have flashed a Windows mobile rom before. I have an X50V that I have taken from mobile 2003 to 6.5, 6.5 on that is meh right now, prob going to sell it. But anyway the point is im not new to flashing a rom, but it also wasn't a verizon phone. I know I need to unlock it to update it.
So this is where I need help. I have read the FAQ set up by Nfsfan but I cannot get the unlocker to work. It keeps giving me a 262 error. I get it into bootloader it says USB but just doesn't work. it starts then gives taht error. It restarts perfectly fine so I know its not even doing anything.
I have, the official verizon 6.1 update. It was on the phone when I got it two weeks ago. Rom Version 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.78
I have also read the PPCgeeks forum, Every where I read it says just restart the flash, but it just keeps doing the same thing.
Thanks!!
How to switch to 6.5 on HTC Touch/Vogue/xv6900 Verizon specific (~20min):
1. Install Activesync to your computer here. Not sure if it's installed by default. If not, just download. Plug in your phone and you should be able to tell because some green thing pops up.
2. Download official 6.1 Verizon update to get latest radio. Plug your phone in, run the file, and it's self explanatory. When done, try making a call. If it doesn't work, dial *228, then press 1, and it should re program your phone to work with the cell towers.
3. Download 2.31 unlocker to unlock the phone, available on the first two links. Run the file. Don't extract it like another FAQ I found said. It'll tell you to plug your phone in so plug it in and hit enter. The phone screen changes to a rainbow color now. Computer will tell you to disconnect and reconnect the phone. Do so. Then follow the instructions on computer, check the box, keep hitting next. You'll see a 0% go to 100% pretty quick on the computer and your phone, and your phone will restart. Unplug phone. It'll load into 6.1 as normal. Hold down power+camera+stylus hole button on phone, you should see a rainbow screen, and the words 2.31 unlocker which indicates you've successfully unlocked it.
4. Disable activesync by going to activesync, File>Connection Settings> uncheck the checkbox "Allow USB connections". (I forget if this step is necessary if it's even during this part, but just to be safe).
5. Download NFSFAN's 6.5 v11 rom (or others may works) and extract to a directory. Plug your phone (with rainbow and 2.31 unlocker still on screen). Bottom display should change from serial to USB. Run the RUU exe update utility file from NFSFAN's files. In the program, the picture on the left won't be the Vogue but it's ok. Then follow the instructions, check the box, keep hitting next, you'll see a 0% go to 100% on the computer and phone, but now takes about 5 minutes since it's a large file.
6. Phone will restart itself and you should a brand new htc/6.5 screen. Just be patient as it loads. Do a hard reset anytime by pressing red and green button while using your stylus to poke the hole on the bottom. Hit the center big button, then the green button. You'll see a status bar and once it's done will reset it self. Let it load and follow on screen instructions. First time loading always takes a bit of time but after that it's fairly quick on any reset. Note, when calibrating the stylus, try to tap as lightly as you can even though it says to press firm. Windows uses this to calibrate how hard you should press your screen so if you press it too hard, your fingers will have to smash to screen to pick up anything. Tap it as lightly as you can and it would be easier to navigate with your finger. You can always recalibrate in settings.
7. (Optional) Do stpe 5 and 6 again. Codybear, a very experienced user on this forum, says he's never had any bugs/problems others seems to get because he flashes the ROM 2-3 times. He'll flash it, go through the customizations, flash it, go through the customizations, flash it, go through the customizations.
8. Tweak as necessary using this FAQ.
As an FYI, you don't have to do the SMS160 tweak because it was changed in v10.
If anybody wants to copy this to a sticky/wiki/faq anywhere, please feel free to do so. I hate when go to valuable information gets lost.
endless rebooting
ok so i got it to work i can make calls send message and such.
but when i unpluged it, it started an endless cycle of restarting after 10 seconds or so, and its fully charged.
i plug it back in and it stays on with out restarting endlessly. i posted here because i used these instructions
Many people before myself have addressed this issue! Their has been post about how to fix verizon gps and many relies to "GPS NOT WORKING, ECT.." Regardless their are people that still have questions and very still unclear on how to resolve.
I've had this issue as well and fixed it many of times I have also been on the question side of things it sucks not knowing what going on... I figured I would attempt post the fix and answer as many questions regarding this issue as possible. Please feel free to pm me for missing info and or a better explanation of what is written. (I'm not perfect)
This Post is Geared to people who can NOT use GPS because of verizon "software disabling". If your not sure you can use gps please look below to Side Notes for testing.
If your gps works and you need guidance on how to flash a custom rom! Start From Step 3
Definition of GPS Types
*aGps this uses an internet connection to triangulate with distance from radio towers. Process time for location lock ruffly 5-15 sec(not this topic and verizon attempts to block these attempts)
*Gps takes a moment to lock on to multiple satellites to triangulate your location. Process time for location lock ruffly 2-4 min(Weather Dependent)
Read The Entire Post Before Attempting
DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
Install Instruction
Download Step1 Flash/Unlock with 0.40.coke (necessary for Step2)
Download Step2 **Load Unlocker & Flash Older ROM without GPS (This resolves Issue)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step3 Flash/Unlock with 2.31.coke (necessary for Step3)
Download Step4 **Load Unlocker & Flash Verizon Stock Rom (Strongly Recommended)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step5 **Load Unlocker & Flash Newest Radio Available (I recommend 3.42.3 or 3.42.5)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
6.1 or 6.5 Step6 **Load Unlocker & Flash at least 2x any custom rom (I Recommend NFSFAN's Rom)
*Allow Customization to Run Fully for Custom Rom's
*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use and Love tomtom/Garmin, nsfan always includes GPS viewer for testing)
Side Note
As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just very important not to Let the Customization Run. After Step4 or Step5 you can install the below Cab's to test if issue has been Resolved. If you need to use active sync during these steps make sure to Remove from Airplane Mode and or Un-check option under USB to PC (fast syncing) Also Step 1 & 3 Coke Un-locker's are not compatible to x64bit systems. There maybe a way to get around or another version of coke unlocker, its just unknown to me. If anyone here knows of a way PLEASE let me know!
Gps Testing Cab's
Download Verizon GPS setting Cab by NSFAN
Download GPS Viewer
** Coke Unlocker is Loaded By Holding down a combination of buttons. HOLD POWER, CAMERA BUTTON & PIN-HOLE Reset Simultaneously until you get "Rainbow Colored Screen"
Things you will Need

Provisioning phone 1st time
Your phone needs to be authenticated(*228 Option 1)! There are many way to resolve this. Tech support can manually have you add an Akey(26? hexadecimal code). Online Activation VZW Site or I prefer this method,
Attempt to make a phone call. You will Receive a VZ Error with a 800 number to call. Call this number and Explain
"I Just installed my phone and its not authenticating to make phone call. Unfortunately I'm on the phone in question and do not have an alternate to contact you with. Can you please fix this?, I have a few important phone calls to make!"
After which they will place you on hold and may explain giving you "temp authentication". This is not true is permanent. Process Including Hold time Usually is resolved with 4-8min

After following the above instructions if your phone needs to be authenticated still and you speak
to verizon tech support! They will instruct you to dial ##778 to get your phone to open up a hidden configuration menu.
This doesn't work with NSFAN rom's. You need to dial ##778# instead. Its a small detail

Most important Things to know
Read The Entire Post Before Attempting
DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
Download Step1 Flash/Unlock with 0.40.coke (necessary for Step2)
Download Step2 Flash Older ROM without GPS (This resolves Issue)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step3 Flash/Unlock with 2.31.coke (Need to Flash newer Rom's)
Download Step4 Flash Verizon Stock Rom Recommended*(Personally Have Skipped this step worked perfect)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Download Step5 Flash Newest Radio Available (I recommend 3.42.3 or 3.42.5)
*Reset with pin-hole just before customization
Step6 Flash atleast 2x any custom rom (Recommend NFSFAN's Rom)
*Allow Customization to Run Fully for Custom Rom's
*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use and Love tomtom/Garmin, nsfan always includes GPS viewer for testing
Side Note
As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just very important not to Let the Customization Run. After Step4 or Step5 you can install the below Cab's to test if issue has been Resolved.

thanks for such informative writing, i myself really don't need the gps on my phone that bad, but it can come handy sometimes and i've been hesitating to do this fix because i heard that downgrading radio can mess up the phone, but i think i'll give it a go sometime this week and will report back.
Quick question: i always flash my phone from the SD Card since day 1, because for some reason the Laptop disconnect the USB sometimes, so.. is it safe to unlock from SD Card as it is to flash from SD card??
thanks again.
I have never flash from the SD card not sure what you mean
Ive also have that usb disconnecting issue with all of my vouge like its loose on the mini usb connection. All i do is plug it in and dont touch it till its done. But if you where to accidently disconnect the usb for any reason. No worries coke unlocker will cover this issue and just reload and try again.
Well i followed your instructions to the T. And i was beginning to write how its not working. But then i noticed that it started picking up satellites. So YES. SUCCESS. IT DOES WORK! Just a side note how do i get rid of the Bell logo when i first boot up?
Also, what steps did you follow afterwards to get your internet and mms up and runnng?

*agps is uses an internet connection to triangulate with distance from radio towers. Process time 5-10 sec(not this topic and verizon attempts to block this)
*gps takes a moment to lock on to multiple satellites to triangulate your location. Process time 1-2 min
Bell Logo is something to be removed when flashing a Custom rom. Me personally i don't care to change it but from what i understand its just swapping a file in the custom rom and then proceed with a normal flash.

Sounds like your trying to load the sprint rom from activesync. You should be loading it though the "Coke Unlocker boot loader"
Make sure to follow the steps above. Btw also if you have follow the step be sure your download is not corrupted!
Any suggestions with me not being able to receive data? I am using 3.42.5 radio. Should i try 3.42.3 to get the data to work?

Accidental Double Post
Generally speaking when doing alot of flashing you may loose your A-Key settings! which should be fixed buy using verizon's *225 function but sometime must be manually entered by their Tech support team.
You can also call them and say im on the phone and need to make an important phone call can you please unlock the phone. They may say its temporary but its a lie. LOL
Did you use the MMS Cab and follow the instruction because that will restore your data connection information! If so reinstall try again
Btw Dont worry its just a minor software setting it will work
Wow are you unable to help me with my issue. my data access doesnt work period. i keep putting in my username ([email protected]) and password (vzw). And i still havent connected? Please help me!
did you flash the original Carrier Rom?
did you try the mms cab?
I never said i was unable to help you tell me what you have done so far
also try this cab
Download Verizon provisioning cab by NSFAN
Well. I was waiting for a response and figured i try flashing it to the original ROM and let all the customization run first. Then started from Step 1. So thats where i am at right now. Step 4
And i finally got it working. GPS, phone, and data. Had to put a freakin 26 digit authentication code from verizon.
Yeah next time pm me bro, but of course it always nothing to worry about great community here and their is always someone to help.
Ill edit the original post later with all the information we covered. When I do if you have input of your experience you think i should add let me know.
Going forward when you flash to a newer verison of a custom rom you will NOT have to authenticate to verizon or call them for that matter at all. The only necessary steps are
installing mms cab, gps cab, restoring back-up contacts, and any other custom apps you perfer (I do this on a regular basis I swear its much easier )

Hey verizon buddies,
I have a sprint touch, and the agps feature must not be working because i can only get a lock outside...
will your instructions work for sprint?
does sprint need specific different server settings?
thanks!!!

Thanks for mentioning this, Unfortunately I ran into this issue as well with 64bit systems. I was unable to find a resolve to this issue I always keep atleast one of my rigs on win xp for compatibility issues such as what you see here. Although if you can find out please let me know that way I can add it here to the post.

I myself dont waste my time with aGps because verizon blocks theses efforts when possible to force you to use there software.. Sprint does not do this I believe so technically you can make it work easliy you just need the settings I would refer this this post

Great Walk Through
I did this a couple of nights ago and am absolutely thrilled that I can now use my GPS. I have been searching for weeks, and this was great. I do have one problem though. My battery life seems to be horrible, anything you would suggest to maybe help with this. I also can't seem to keep activesync from opening back up. This site has helped me so much and Im sure it will do the same in the future.
Hi all!!
Ever since I got my Sprint Vogue, I have spent God only knows how many hours looking for and gathering information regarding this phone (flashing instructions, unlocking, SuperCID, etc). There are a few sites that have fairly comprehensive guides as to how to do this, but there are very few posts in the Vogue Section here at XDA-Developers.
Having said that, I figured I would create my own "How to Flash Your Vogue"-Thread. This is a multi-step process and I cannot emphasize the importance of following every step down to the "T", that is unless you are looking for a silicone-skinned brick...
Who is this guide for?
*Anyone with a CDMA version of the Touch. [highlight]That means no GSM[/highlight]
*Noobs and Seniors alike.
*People who have trouble flashing their devices.
*Anyone looking for links to more information.
*Curious people in general.
*Anyone willing to get rid of the nasty stock rom and looking for a newer and cleaner OS (notice that I never said more stable, so do not blame me afterwards ).
[highlight]Please keep in mind that there is always a chance of bricking your device with these procedures. I will not be in any way, shape, or form responsible if you damage your device while doing this.[/highlight]
Got your coffee? Alright, let's do this.
Step 1. Preparing the device
As with every phone, you have to make sure that you have the following things done before flashing:
* Battery charged at least 50%.
* All the necessary programs (see next post).
* Instructions handy.
Make sure that you back up all your information (contacts, e-mails, files).... essentially, anything that you would like to keep post-flashing. You can do this via Active Sync/Mobile Device Center or via third party software (PIM Backup is really good)...
You will have to reinstall every last piece of software in your device as it will be hard reset. Some programs may work if installed in a SD card directly, but a lot of them write things to the registry and copy files to the device, which they require to run. Long story short, keep all your cabs and exe files in a safe place so you can restore later if needed.
Step 2. Unlocking the Device (HardSPL)
Unlocking the device is done so that you can flash custom roms in your devices. The unlocker that you are about to download and use was provided by "ImCoKeMaN" at PPCGeeks. If you are interested in the full thread, please click here.
If you have read the above link, you will see two versions of the HardSPL (0.40 and 2.31). Simply use 2.31 as it works fine with most devices.
[highlight]To use this under Windows XP,[/highlight]
1. Connect your device to your computer and make sure it is synced with ActiveSync.
2. Download and extract the contents of the zip file, which is an exe. Let it run to completion. You will be prompted to disconnect and reconnect your device at one point in the process. Do it... don't worry
3. It will look like it is flashing a rom via a RUU. Do not disconnect the device after it is done!!!!!
4. Once it is done flashing, you will see a prompt that says that it will run exitbl. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE. At this point, open ActiveSync, go to File>Connection Settings> Uncheck "Allow USB Connections". Continue following the on screen instructions and let it finish.
5. Go to bootloader once more to verify that it worked. You should see 2.31 CoKe MFG.
[highlight]To use this under Windows Vista/7 x64 (thanks jitajt),[/highlight]
jitajt said:
connect your device to WMDC (it's not necessary to set up device, just connect without setting up device)
then right click on the 2.31 unlocker and run as administrator
follow the directions, you will get an error about sleep.exe not being compatible with x64 but just hit ok and continue, (you will get about 10 of them)
then just keep following the directions in the command prompt and it will put your phone into bootloader then you have to disconnect and reconnect when it tells you to. and it will flash your phone and reset it. then your done you can close the command prompt and disconnect your phone.
I did it just like above and I have not had any problems.
Do this at your own risk as I am not responsible for your phone

Step 3. Flashing your Roms
The time has finally arrived. You sat down patiently through the unlocker and you are now ready to take the leap of faith into what you believe will bring your device to a new level of usefulness (also known as getting rid of that nasty, bloated, stock rom )
The process is relatively simple:
1. Download the RUU package from this post. I am only posting this because some cooks only post the rom nbh files rather than the whole package.
2. Go into the threads and look for whichever rom you prefer. Look at my signature to learn which one I am using. NFSFan (my current one) is by far the best one I have tried so far. You can download it from here
3. Put your device in bootloader mode and connect the device to the computer. [highlight]Once in bootloader, activesync will NOT see the device. If the RUU gives a connection error, try to run it with the devices in regular mode (with ActiveSync connected)[/highlight]
4. Open the Romupdateutility.exe and follow the steps.
5. Once it is done flashing the rom, disconnect it from the computer and hard reset it. To do this, simply hold "Send" + "End Call" +Stylus in the reset hole for about 3 seconds. It will prompt you to erase all the data and restore to factory defaults. Press "Enter", which is the center button in the directional pad. Once it is done, press "Send" to reboot.
Congratulations, you just flashed your first rom for Vogue
Step 4. SuperCID
This step can be skipped if you are not thinking of doing anything as far as your radio (such as flashing radios other than the ones intended for Vogue). This is also used to do other things such as modifying certain important things on your device such as the NV files, which is information that will not be discussed here. However, if you are interested in finding out more, simply google it, there is a ton of information out there.
Anyways, back to SuperCID... here is the procedure (thanks to hpnasik at mobile-files.com for the post)
1. Download the following special rom . This is an Alltel rom with radio 3.37. This was specially prepared to be able to reduce the Security Level of the device to level zero.
2. Download mtty since you will need it. Do not worry if you do not how to use it. You will have a step by step in this guide.
3. Flash the Alltel rom from above.
Now comes the fun part...
4. Disable USB in Connection Settings of Active Sync
5. Boot The Phone holding power button and camera button to enter bootloader.
6. Phone Will Display Serial in Bottom
7. Connect Phone to PC
8. Phone should Display USB instead of Serial in Bottom
9. start mtty.exe
10. Select All Default and Connect to USB in drop down box and Shoot the Following Commands (All Commands are case Sensitive)
11. run command rtask a : After this Command Phone will not Display any thing
12. run command echo_on : even though nothing is shown to screen
13. run command readCID : in Sprint it will display SPCS_001
14. run command writeCID 00000000 : Set CID Value to 00000000 replaces SPCS_001 in Sprint (This make PPC Radio Security Level to Zero)
15. run command readCID : This will Display the Update CID as 00000000
16. run Command retuoR : This will return to Original Boot Loader State
Congratulations, you just SuperCIDed your device. Original thread with the instructions can be found here if you are interested.
Step 5. Flashing your radio.
Now that your device has been SuperCIDed, you will have the opportunity to flash radios that have been ported to this device (ie. there is a version of the 3.42.40 radio for the Titan, which has been ported to the Vogue). There are two ways of doing this:
Way 1: Do it by flashing via RUU (same as with flashing a rom)
Way 2: Flash via microSD card. Simply put whichever radio that you wish to flash in the root of a 2GB or less microSD card formatted to fat32. Rename the radio to VOGUIMG.NBH and put your device in bootloader. The flashing will start by itself.
Way 3 (I know I said two ways...): There are a few stock roms that come with new radios. One of them can be downloaded directly from HTC and it is for the Sprint Touch. This one comes with Radio 3.42.30
The other one is for Bell Mobility and this one comes with Radio 3.42.50.
Why am I giving "Way 3" if the other two options seem much easier?? I have run into the problem where my device would not let me flash other radios than the one that I had. SD card method did not work and the RUU started out fine but quits at 8% rebooting my phone and displaying Error 328 in the RUU on the PC. Anyway, here are the links...
Sprint rom with radio 3.42.30
Bell rom with radio 3.42.50
Verizon Stock Rom
All Shipped Roms (All Carriers) - Thanks conflipper!
All Above Radios zipped
The newer radios perform a little better and give out better GPS signal (faster locks)....
Hang on a sec... did you just say GPS?!?!? But my Vogue does not have a GPS.... It does, just read a little further and be happy
Step 6. Enabling GPS, Returning to Stock, and Carrier Cabs
As I said before, there is a GPS hidden on your device. Now, if you are like me and went straight to the specs of the phone to confirm, you will probably try to call BS on this. Long story short, there are a few custom roms which have this "tweak" already implemented (like the one I am using from NFSFan). If you require some more info, I will post it later...
[highlight]Location must be on or else your GPS will not work. To activate it, go to Settings>Personal>Phone and change the Location setting to ON instead of 911 (thanks for pointing it out, th3lolz)[/highlight]

For those of you with the official mr1 update from verizon that cannot get their gps working:
My xv6900 came with the official update and I got it working, it involves downgrading to a NON-GPS radio, then back to a gps radio...
go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533639
now the instructions are going to imply that you must load the unlocker before each flash... bs don't worry about that
1. flash the .40 unlocker
2. flash the non-gps rom (reset before customization)
3. flash the 2.31 unlocker
4. flash the vzw rom (reset before customization)
5. flash any custom rom or android rom
that's it, time consuming, but it works
*ignore the multiple flashing instructions, its completely unnecessary, I've never flashed more than once with no problem ever....
I also suggest keeping the vzw radio, but do as you will, I like the 3.37.38 radio.. ain't broke don't fix it
lastly, just make sure you RESET BEFORE THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN...... that is what locks your gps.
good luck!
ps. the verizon radio rom that is in that post is for the "leaked" 3.37.37 radio, I reccomend using the official update from verizon here for the 3.37.38 radio rom instead:

How exciting!! My first victi...erh patient
Did you put the device in bootloader mode? If you did and it is connected to the PC, you should see USB on the screen of your device. Also, do you have ActiveSync on your XP machine? You will need it for the drivers on this step. Changing USB ports sometimes help as well. And one last thing, do not use a USB hub, go directly through the USB ports in your computer. Good luck!
yes i have activesync installed xp, and yes it changes from serial to usb in bootloader mode. But once i connect it to the pc while in bootloader mode my computer recognizes just activesync doesnt, only when its on and not in bootloader mode will activesync recognize it...
yes i have activesync set up with the phone and pc, but when i put the phone in bootloader mode and connect it the pc recognizes it but not activesync. is there another program i can unlock the phone with?

Do not worry about ActiveSync. While you are in bootloader, the device is not running WM, which is why your computer only sees it as a USB device. This is perfectly fine. ActiveSync will not recognize it.
Please, follow the instructions in my post for unlocking. Read it thoroughly and try to understand it, else you will end up bricking your device.
ok but when i begin the unlocking exe it tell me to connect the device to activesync, althought the only way activesync will notice it is if i take it out of bootmode. your help is appriciated

that is a message in the RUU. do not pay attention to it. good luck...
so i finally got the unlocker to start and it begins the ten minute process and stops then show a 262 error code ive done this over and over again
Let's go from the top. I just saw the message that you were talking about. The unlocker does ask for ActiveSync as you pointed out and it is asking you to connect the device to the computer. Then it asks for you to press any key when that is done. So, try that and you should see the word "initializing" with a dotted line getting longer for about 20 seconds. Do that.
The RUU will start up afterwards. The prompt will tell you that it is going to flash a new SPL, and if I am not mistaken that is where you are getting stuck.
Just out of curiosity, which version of the Vogue do you have? (Alltel, Bell, Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular)?
no internet
i just flashes my cell for the first time in with sprint NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM worked great but for some reason my internet doesnt work i downloaded NFSFAN Sprint Provisioning but i dont know how to use it. It has a cople files SPRINT~1.000 and 000DUMMY and setup.xls
