Upgrade Sprint Touch to Rev. A. COMPLETE TUTORIAL With Download Links.
As there are many Sprint users here and the new Alltel thread growing like a fungus, I figured it was a good time to create a tutorial thread with download links for Sprint users.
Let's begin.
UPGRADING SPRINT TOUCH TO REV. A
Make sure your phone(Sprint Touch) is fully charged as this will take the better part of an hour. While your phone is charging, I would strongly recommend using a program such as SPB Backup to backup all important information on your device as it will be hard reset multiple times during this process.
1. Download ImCoKeMaN's new Vogue unlocker: http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Make sure your device is connected to ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, whichever you have.
3. Run Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe and follow the on screen instructions. It is VERY easy to do this wrong so MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS during the process of unlocking your device. Your phone will display SPL 2.00.coke at first but will then change to 2.31.coke as you progress through the process.
4. Allow your phone to boot up completely into OS once the unlocker process is done. Hold the power and camera button and insert your stylus into the soft-reset hole next to the mini-usb port on the bottom of your phone. It should display an SPL of 2.31.coke.
IF YOUR DEVICE DISPLAYS THE 2.31.coke SPL THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT, REPEAT STEPS 3&4 UNTIL IT DOES.
5. Reboot your phone so that it is back in OS and you are able to use the phone and connect to ActiveSync/WMDC.
6. Download and run RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_3 .37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecia lNBH.exe
and follow the on screen instructions. It is much the same as any RUU you may have used before. The update will appear to have crashed at 11%. Do NOT be alarmed as this is normal.
THIS STEP CAN BE FATAL FOR SPRINT USERS SO READ CAREFULLY!!!
7. When RUU is completed, align screen and set date and time as usual.
For All Non-Alltel users once you finish aligning the screen and setting the date and time it will say "Tap the screen to continue". As soon as you do this it will immediately display a message that says "Customization will begin in 3 seconds. Press OK to continue." SOFT RESET NOW!!! Do NOT allow carrier customization to run. Soft reset during that 3 seconds.
8. At this point your phone should be booting back up. It should still display the Sprint PCS banner on the HTC Home plugin and you will still be able to make and receive calls. At this time, test your internet and see if it works. I have read conflicting stories of people using the Alltel ROM and being able to use the internet still and also people not being able to use the internet.(If your internet does not work do not be alarmed, there is still one more step)
9. If your internet works and you like the Alltel ROM then you are done. If your internet does not work or you would rather have a Sprint ROM, continue to step 10.
10. Download RUU and jakdillard's new WM6.1 ROM below.
ROM - ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/gpstest2.1.rar
RUU - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VNIQUDP2
11. Copy contents of RUU folder to gpstest2.1 folder and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow on screen prompts and ROM update should go smoothly.
12. Sprint users you are now done. You should now have a Rev. A Sprint Touch with the OEM look and feel of JD's 19209 build.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GPS - HOW TO.
I know a lot of you have been wanting to get GPS working. Here is how to do it.
1. You must be using JD's newest test ROM which is available for download in step 10 of the tutorial above.
2. Download Google Maps from here: http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/P...&productType=2
It is free so don't worry.
3. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC(whichever you have) and copy the downloaded cab file to your phone and run it. Install to main memory.
4. Just run Google Maps a wualla. Done.
How-To Get GPS Working Everytime (added by mindfrost82):
- Download GpsViewer.PPC300_2577.cab.zip(Holux GPS Viewer)(free)
- Run that program before you run any other GPS program
- Set it to Com4 and click Open
- Be near a window to get a fast lock on GPS (mine still works inside my house though)
- When you start to see what looks like lat/long in the display minimize it (don't close it)
- Now run Google Maps (or any other app) and set it to Com4 (or automatic should work too)
- It should pickup GPS right away since the GPS Viewer already has the locks
- Remember to close the Holux GPS Viewer when you're done or it'll constantly use GPS and drain your battery!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOWNGRADING AND REVERTING BACK TO ORIGINAL SPL
1. Download ImCoKeMaN's original unlocker here: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...e_unlocker.exe
2. Run Vogue_unlocker.exe and follow the on screen instructions to a T as it is very easy to mess up. This will overwrite the 2.31.coke SPL. During the unlocking process your device will display 0.36.coke SPL. This will change once update is complete.
3. Once you finished with the unlocker, your SPL should no longer display 2.31.coke but should now display 0.40.coke.
4. Insert your stylus into the soft-reset hole but do not allow to boot back up into OS. Instead, hold down the camera and power buttons and insert the stylus into the soft-reset hole again putting you in bootloader mode.
IF YOUR DEVICE STILL DISPLAYS 0.36.coke THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT THEN RE-RUN STEPS 2&3 UNTIL IT DOES.
5. Since it is recommended that you flash back to the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM at this time, that is the link that I am providing here. Download and flash the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM. This will overwrite the custom SPL written by ImCoKeMaN's unlocker.
6. You're now done. Your phone has now been reverted back to it's original shipped state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTORE THE 1.33.003 PRI
(Must complete the Downgrading and reverting back to original SPL tutorial first)
If you are a Sprint user and you allowed the Alltel customization to run and complete then you most likely are now wondering where the Sprint PCS banner went from the HTC Home Plugin and are also wondering why you are not able to connect to the internet regardless of what you do. This is a tutorial on how to fix this problem.
What happened to cause this problem is that Alltel's customization also contains a 2.01.001 PRI which is different from Sprint's 1.33.003 PRI. Allowing customization to run will overwrite Sprint's with Alltel's leaving you with no internet or Sprint PCS banner on the Home plugin.
Here is how to fix it:
1. Download GetSPC here: http://www.5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip
2. Extract the zip file and copy the GetSPC folder to the root of main memory of your device.
3. Go to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and either open notepad or get a piece of paper and write down your ESN. This is your HEX ESN.
4. Run GetSPC.exe from that folder you placed on in the ROOT folder of your device and in the TOP box, type in your HEX ESN. Hit "GO" and the number generated will be your MSL. Write this number down as well.
5. From the dialpad(MUST BE ORIGINAL VOGUE DIALPAD, NOT A SKINNED DIAL PAD) dial ##786# and it will bring up a large list of quite a few different numbers. Write down your MDN and MSID(you will need them, trust me).
6. Click Menu and select reset. It will ask you to put in an unlock code. Type in your MSL. Everything will reset back to the factory defaults, including your PRI, MDN, and MSID.
7. Follow boot sequence and align screen and what not and allow Sprint's customization to complete.
8. From the dialpad, dial ##(6 digit MSL here)# and click edit. Type in your MDN and MSID and click OK.
9. Your phone should now be reverted back to the bare bones stock OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM with the Sprint PRI of 1.33. You're done.

Nice, here's the link to the original thread, which might get updated.
I have attached QuickGPS again along with GPSTool if anybody is interested.

Sprint Customization
Is there a way to put the Sprint customizations on here? E.g. a .cab that would install the Sprint style cube, today screen plug in, SprintTV, Sprint Music, etc.?
One thing I noticed was that the cube is HTC but when you spin it, it is Alltel. I have searched both here and PPCGeeks but haven't found any Sprint cabs.
Any help?
Other than that, 6.1 and GPS, hotness! Works great.

Update: I found most of them, the link to where for anyone else is http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22706
Now I am only trying to get the following: the updated Sprint Cube, the Sprint animated splash screen, and the Sprint theme.
Anybody?

I just wanted to say that this works perfectly on Bell Mobility in Canada, and it's great!

I followed the process and I've been waiting for this since I purchase the Vogue last year. I am impressed by this and I cannot believe Sprint was not able to make this happen any time sooner. This is great!

This would make a great sticky!

Can you please re post link for OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM. THanks

I can also attest that this works perfect. Winmo 6.1, GPS, Rev A data speeds, clean fast (so far) stable rom. Also, an added bonus that i found is with this rom my mic sensitivity issue has been resolved. I could not hold a converstaion with someone if i was in a relatively loud atmosphere. Must be a 6.1 update or something. Who knows.....
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Big ups to the original poster at ppcgeeks.com

I read about some registry change for the mic sensitivity..

I dabbled in that a while back with no luck. There was a CSV type file somewheres that i found w/ help from this forum. It looked too easy to mess something up.
Side note: RevA is blazin fast....

I can't run the "RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_ 3.37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpeci alNBH.exe" file. It always gives me error "Vouge has encounter a problem and needs to close"
What should I do? I have XP SP2 with Admin right. Please help

[TUT]Complete upgrading guide (HardSPL+Radio+ROM) NOT FOR CDMA USERS!!!

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.

Click to collapse
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!

*Updated: Aug 8th* "Complete" Verizon GPS Fix/Custom Rom Install

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
Download Verizon provisioning cab by NSFAN
Download MMS Fix by NSFAN (install instruction below)
*Install the cab provided
*After install go into the Connections -> Manage Exsisting -> General Tab --> Delete Connection
*After that is done, Goto Start -> System Tools -> Open Advanced Config
*Press Menu -> Press "Import provisioning XML" Search for mxipupdate_oemoperators_102.provxml,
(Should be located in the Windows Root Directory)
*Import it, Soft-reset
MMS Should be up and running!
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
Side Note Thanks to -Digital Doug
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

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.

No All that is needed is gps and mms fix cab's and of course any other customization preferred

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?

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)
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 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 (Need to Flash newer Rom's)
Download Step4 Load Unlocker & Flash Verizon Stock Rom Recommended*(Personally Have Skipped this step worked perfect)
*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
Step6 Load Unlocker & 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. 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)

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 )

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.

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.

Epix i907 Official Samsung WM 6.5 Upgrade - Tips and Tricks [Updated July 9 2010]

On July 2, Samsung released WM 6.5 for the Epix / i907. It is available here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/at-t-phones/SGH-I907ZKAATT/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
Q: How do you get the Samsung official WM 6.5 upgrade for the Epix / i907 to work on Windows 7 64bit?
The trick is to get the drivers installed and then the Vista 32-bit installer works fine. You can get the drivers from:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/200708/20070813082717640_Samsung_USB_Driver_Installer.exe.
Run this install program. It will put the drivers in Program Files (x86)/Samsung but installation won't work. Next open the device manager and then update the driver for each of the non-working devices... Select the Program Files (x86)/Samsung directory. Windows 7 will successfully find and install the drivers.
Note that you will also need to set the USB connection mode to "Modem". This is located in Settings / Connections / USB Connection Mode.
Q: Does HTC CM Internet WiFi Sharing work on the official Epix WM 6.5 release?
Yes. But to get it to work I also needed to install and RUN the Topaz CommManager. Start CommManager running and then start CM Internet Sharing. See this thread for details.
http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/290496/cm-wifi-internet-sharing/.
Note that the Topaz CommManager works but is not as clean as the default Wireless Manager. Also I installed the Application Unlocker from:
http://www.mysamsungepix.com/hacks-and-mods/application-unlockers/samsung-epix-application-unlocker/
But not sure this was necessary.
Q: How do you get rid of the Startup and Shutdown animations and noise.
The following works on the official update.
http://www.mysamsungepix.com/hacks-and-mods/other-hacks-and-mods/silent-startup-and-shutdown/
Q: Does this patch update the radio? Does this patch fix the ID1 GPS issue? How can I tell if the update was successful?
The patch updates the phone, radio, and fixes GPS issues with ID1.
To confirm a successful update type *#1234# into the phone. According to the Samsung FAQ both the PDA and Phone field should be 'pi907UCJD1'.
Some people are reporting an occasional hang during the update process and consequently the radio is not updating. Try it again.
Q: How is battery life?
So far battery life has proven to be as good if not better than the original rom.
Q: Is GPS working?
GPS works without issue with the latest versions of both Bing and Google maps.
Bing turn-by-turn voice-announced navigation is working great.
The latest versions of Google and Bing maps are available in the Marketplace.
Q: How can I configure the Today screen?
One easy way to do this is with the free "Home Screen Customizer" available in the marketplace. Works great.
Q: Can I reorganize the Start Menu?
You can use file explorer to navigate to \Windows\Start Menu. Then cut and paste. It looks like the shortcuts are no longer locked in ROM.

Seems to Work
Several people have asked how well the official Samsung WM 6.5 upgrade / patch is working...
My experience is very positive; no issues so far.
And it seems fast.

I'm writing this response as I had a whole hell of a lotta trouble getting this to flash properly and ended up having to figure out some stuff for myself and here are my steps:
Assumptions = I am using Win 7 64bit, w/ windows mobile device center in normal setup, My windows is genuine which may be required to get the driver from Windows Update
1 = make sure phone is off with battery removed. I'd have the usb cable in so you can get it going as quick as possible.
2 = download and run an application called USDL Grand Prix (the vista version works on win7). You'll have 2 find the dl yourself unfortunately, but googling 'usdl grand prix vista' is your best bet.
3 = under select a profile, choose: Grand Prix LV Image
4 = hit the pda button &browse to the 'bin' format image you downloaded at the start of the thread
5 = review step 7 so you can be ready to do it in a timely manner!
6 = under 'grand prix's step 3, select detect
7 = place the battery back in the samsung and hold the vol up key, the ok key, and hte power key and wait for grand prix to start doing its thing and a green status bar to begin growing freakishly at the bottom of the 'samsung' screen.
8 = once the 'grand prix' says 'pda finished!!' in the status area, you are ready to remove and replace your battery then power on as normal!
YAY, how easy is that?

Download the following files:
* Windows Mobile 6.5 build 23017 15MB page pool BIN (Mirror 1)
o Check the first post of this thread for newer BIN versions
o Microsoft contacted me and told me to take PDA6.5_15mbPP.bin of mysamsungepix.com
* USDL GrandPrix v1.6.4 (Windows XP/Vista/Win 7) (Mirror 1) (Mirror 2, XP) (Mirror 2, Vista)
1. Verify that your Samsung Epix can connect to your Windows computer via USB. You should be able to browse your Samsung Epix in My Computer > Mobile Device and/or make a successful connection via ActiveSync. If you cannot do this, the GrandPrix program most likely will not see your Epix.
2. Turn off your Samsung Epix, but it connected to your Windows computer via USB.
3. Start USDL GrandPrix (Windows 7 users run the Vista version)
4. Under “Select a profile” choose “GRANDPRIX LV image”
5. Click the “PDA” button and locate the Windows Mobile 6.5 BIN file.
6. Press the Detect button in USDL GrandPrix
7. Power on your Samsung Epix
8. Wait for the process to full complete (mine idled at “Writing Dummy CSC Header” so I moved to the next step and everything was fine).
9. Power off your Samsung Epix (may require a battery pull if your CSC Headers hang).
10. Power on your Samsung Epix.
11. The first “boot” of your Samsung Epix may take a while (up to 5 minutes) so don’t panic if your phone seems unresponsive at the orange Windows Mobile screen – be patient.
12. Complete the Windows Mobile 6.5 setup wizard and voila – Windows Mobile 6.5 on the Samsung Epix.

I'm having trouble having Grand Prix or the offical updater recognize my phone. I'm using Windows 7 home premium 64bit. Anyone have a solution? Grand Prix responds but then my phone "disconnects" and nothing ends up happening.
NEVERMIND. Finally ended up getting it to work. Not sure how but after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers many times it decided to finally flash.

5 column Start menu 320x320
i searched the other cooked wm6.5 threads and couldn't find any 5 column Start screen menus, so I uncabbed and modified the isangelous StartMenu cabs (link) for 320x320. I made 3 sets, the (5x4) looks best with EpixVGA:
Requirement:
1. These look best with EpixVGA or RealVGA installed, i prefer EpixVGA.
2. Remember, installing EpixVGA on WM6.5 will disable Internet Explorer 6. (but who needs PIE6 when there's Opera and Skyfire?) If you ever need PIE6 again, just uninstall EpixVGA and it'll work again.
Since the stock StartMenu file is in the rom, you cannot simply copy it to \Windows\ folder to make it stick, here's a simple instruction:
Instructions:
1. Unzip, Use Total Commander to Copy the StartMenu(5x4)_GridScene_320x320.cpr into your Epix's \windows\ folder.
2. Sort the Windows folder by filename, find the stock StartMenu_GridScene_320x320.cpr, and rename it by adding a few characters into the filename, for example StartMenuSTOCK_GridScene_320x320.cpr
3. Find the (5x4) file you just copied, and erase the "(5x4)" from the filename.
4. That's it. Confirm by simply Refreshing the screen, and you'll see the StartMenu_GridScene_320x320.cpr will have the new file date.
5. Soft reset.
these .cpr files are just .txt files, and you can open it and play with the values. If you're not using EpixVGA, just decrease the text size by 2 and the (5x4) will still look good. Request: can somebody re-CAB these 3 files again? or remind me which program/settings to use for the cab?

Thanks a lot for it, Atlaswing, great work!
Here are my screenshots of (6x4) and (5x4) configurations along with RealVGA (96dpi pack for build 28008) on fenrir's WM6.5.x 23668 with Robert Batman Blue skin.
EDIT: and btw... what exactly is EpixVGA? I've never heard of that. What are the differences between EpixVGA and RealVGA? trying to google something but with not much luck.

Its the same thing. Either one just changes the phone to 96dpi.

how come EpixVGA breaks PIE6 and RealVGA doesn't?

According to what I've found so far EpixVGA uses older 96dpi resource files which are not compatible with latest pocket IE.

When you switch from default to another theme and after switch to any of AT&T theme back, you getting wm 6.1 interface?
No option for sms delivery in sms application for default?
Is this joke or samsungs is so poor to complete update...

i907 wont power on
I initiated the update of the 6.5 patch... when it started the download of the eboot... the application crashed after probably 3-5 second that it started.
My phone was stuck on a black samsung screen. it wouldn't respond. I remove the battery and now the phone will not power on.
Remove battery and hold power button > no go
Use ac adapter > nothing
tried a hard reset (hold H key and power button) > same thing
It's a freaking brick... I'm so frustrated.. Samsung said to send it in but Im in Costa rica not US.
Anything else I can try ???

Does anyone knows how to turn off/on delivery report from options in new Epix sms/mms client?

isn't this all in the start menu/settings/sounds and notifications/event ?
or am i misunderstanding you?
you can select an event (ie Message: New Text Message) and decide if you want:
-play sound
-what sound to play
-repeat sound
-display message on screen
-flash light for...
-vibrate
i don't know if any of these options fall in the category of "delivery report" but this is what i thought of. hope its helpful.

[Q] Who provides a professional service to upgrade my Kaiser

Hey all,
I own an unlocked ATT Tilt 1 (Kaiser 8925). It is currently running windows mobile which is extremely slow. I have read all over the internet that you can put the Android 2.2 OS on this phone and have seen youtube videos on this topic also.
Ideally I need to be able to buy apps from the android marketplace.
Since I'm not a phone hacker I'd like to find a professional cel phone service company that can do this for me.
I searched extensively on Google and can't seem to find one. So who can do this and what is the normal charge for something like this.
Just trying make my old phone useful in wifi mode.
Any advice would be great.
Regards Henry

I don't think there is a company that provides such a service especially if we take in to account that kaiser/tilt is a 3 year old device and the android port is not official. There are plenty of topics in the forum describing how to replace winmo with Android. You don't have to be a hacker to run Android on your phone. Just read the stickies and you wil be able to flash ityourself in no time

There are phone dealers out there (in the USA anyway), that will do this for a fee on the Kaiser, but trust me, with what has gone into the development of this, almost anyone can do it. Save yourself the money and try it yourself. The worst I've heard about is a mis-flashed phone needing some master reset.

The question is who?
I live here in the Orlando area and have called a number of cel phone companies.
I was treated like King Gidorah Three Headed Space Monster. They didn't have a clue this could be done.

Listen HenrykJR there are about dozens of android builds on this forum + many different versions of two kernels, not all of those will work correctly for you. You might experience different issues with one setup but the other will work correctly for you. So even if there was a company that could flash it for you, you might end up with an unstable device. Also how could a company gain knowledge on flashing android builds to a phone that was originally shipped with windows mobile??? You seem to be looking for Nessy....in woods.
Your best bet now is to find someone in the forums to help you flash your device....maybe even use skype to show you how to do it. It really isn't that hard.

Hehe, i don´t think you´ll find a Company that will do it for you. Maybe you find some guys that do it for Money (me to ). But if you spend a little time with reading through this forum you could do it yourself and save the money.
Preparing:
1.) You need a SD card (mandatory for android on Kaiser). And you need a Google Mail Account for syncing your contacts etc. and access the android market.
2.) You have to "unlock" your Phone (with HSPL/HardSPL). Only after that you are able to flash things (Cusom WinMo ROMs, Radio, Android) to your Kaiser. So read through this guide and follow step 1-4.
3.) Now you have an unlocked phone an you should be able to flash everything. And the first thing you flash should be the latest "radio". The "radio" for Kaiser is similar to the BIOS for your PC. Like the subsystem and responsible for GSM chipset etc... So look & read in this Radio-Thread, download the latest Radio (it is 1.71.09.01) an follow the guide "Flashing Radio from microSD"
4.) Now your Phone is up-to-date and ready for flashing Android (or WinMo custom roms). YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO THE STEPS 1-3 AGAIN! Your Phone is now completely prepared!
Flashing Android:
For Android on Kaiser you always need 2 Parts. The Kernel (this part initialize the hardware so its similar to "driver" on PC) and the Built (the Android OS itself). But Both should work together so you´ll may find in some kernel suggestions in Built-threads because not ever kernel work with every built. For your beginning i whould suggest you some things:
First the kernel:
DZO is the most popular (the father of android on Kaiser) Kernel-Developer for Kaiser. So go to his repository and download "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh". Because Vouge and kaiser have almost the same hardware we all could use this kernel. But everyone have to modify this kernel to make phone related optimizations. You can do thy by hand (not recommended for you) or with a tool called "Atools". This tool is writthen in "Python" so mac and linux user could use it too. But you need to install Python. But that is all described in the Atools thread. Read through it and follow the guide.
Modifing Kernel:
We will only modify the madatory things. Not more at the moment...
So run Atools, klick on the "folder" Button and load the "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh".
Device: "Kaiser" should be checked
Resolution: 240x320 should be checked (native resolution of Kaiser display). Everything else will give blurry optic.
Version: "Froyo" should be checked, because we will flash a Froyo built (thats android 2.2). If you want to flash an older built like a Donut one (1.6) you have to modify & flash your kernel again.
Panel Type: Try "auto" or "1" first. But if you have a fuzzy screen or artifacts you have to try out which paneltype fits best for your device. HTC has built in 3 different displays in the Kaiser and the only way to find out which one is builtin is trial & error.
Keymap: Depends on which hardware keyboard layout you have. Here in Germeny i have to use "qwertz".
We leave the other options as they are an klick on the "Disk" button to save our modificated kernel now. it save it as "KAISIMG.nbh".
Now we need the Built:
I suggest "Fat Free Froyo" at the moment. Fast, stable, an looks good. So go to this thread and download "ODEX DOWNLOAD RLS5 ALL LANG-ODEX" on the bottom of the post.
then unzip/unrar this file...
Flashing your first Android:
1.) You should have a fat32 formatted SD card
2.) put the Kernel (the modified KAISIMG.nbh) to the root of SD card
3.) Create a folder named "andboot" on SD card
4.) Put the unzipped file (androidinstall.tar or .tgz) in the folder "andboot"
5.) Remove SIMcard and any cables from phone and put the SD card in your phone. Battery should be 50% carged or more...
6.) go to bootloader-mode (press and hold camera button and powerbutton). the KAISIMG should be loaded and it will show you "press powerbutton to update" or something similar. Do that... Now a progressbar will appear. When it is at 100% wait a few seconds an then pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds an insert it again. Voila! You flashed your first android kernel!
7.) Now we have to install android itself. So Power on the phone. In the moment when you see small white text on black background you have to press and hold the d-pad button. This one in the middle. Now you get in the install menu.
8.) Leave the options "System on nand" and "DATA on nand" as it is. Navigate to "install system" an press dpad. It ask "format system" and "format data". Both "YES". after this procedure you enter the menu again. navigate to "quit".
9.) Yeah! The first Bootup of Android! The first bootup takes longer as the following ones because now the system prepares for bootup and do a lot of optimisations. Even if you enter the lockscreen you should give it 10 minutes time to finish this optimization process in backround.
10.) Finish! You have flashed your first android completely! Now you can play around and make your settings. Remember: You have to sign in to your google account befor you can access the market or syncronize your contacts etc.!
Sounds more complicated as it is. Try it!
And if you´ll dig in deeper in this stuff you have to read here! Especially the Stickies/Refs/Tutorials! We´ve all done that!
have fun!

Hey all,
I own an unlocked ATT Tilt 1 (Kaiser 8925). It is currently running windows mobile which is extremely slow. I have read all over the internet that you can put the Android 2.2 OS on this phone and have seen youtube videos on this topic also.
Ideally I need to be able to buy apps from the android marketplace.
Since I'm not a phone hacker I'd like to find a professional cel phone service company that can do this for me.
I searched extensively on Google and can't seem to find one. So who can do this and what is the normal charge for something like this.
Just trying make my old phone useful in wifi mode.
Any advice would be great.
Regards Henry

Brother, You can do it yourself, I can assure you. Regarding any ambiguity, you can contact me through PM. (I can guide you complete on voice over skype / msn). Its a TIDEOUS job but EASY to do since there is no MEANS OF BRICKING your kaiser (unless you flash something else than what u have do to install android).
I am here to help you in this community. And you can do this thing yourself.
Your device is At&t Tilt. The bad thing about installing android is getting a RIGHT kernel that suits your LCD type and enables wifi in the android build u install. (maybe in 1st try, maybe takes almost 10 tries like it happened for me)
