HI, i recently change service from sprint to cricket, i have a htc sprint touch, i accidentaly broke one of the usb pins on my phone, i need to fully flash to cricket. is there any other way? already loaded the cricket prl only text and talk work, as i used my memory card to uploaded it. how can i unlock it so i can load a custom rom with a memory card?
can i use activesync with bluetooth to run the unlocker?
ive tried active sync with BT and didnt have much luck but if you can get it to connect you should be ok ( im just assuming here)

I don't think you can flash the ROM via bluetooth, but I could be wrong. One thing you can do is flash the ROM/unlocker directly from the memory card in the phone. From what I understand it needs to be a non-HD card (usually 2gb or less) and also needs to be formatted FAT32. Then you can download the 'imcokeman' unlocker, decompress it and pull out the *.nbh file. You will have to rename this to VOGUIMG.nbh and put it in the root folder of the card. Then when you activate the bootloader, by POWER>CAMERA>SOFT RESET it will load the NBH. Then you can also put a custom ROM on this way too...just pull the nbh file from what you get, and follow same procedures after the phone is unlocked. I've never done this before, but I have read where people have done it successfully. If you need more info reference this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370&highlight=memory+card.
You can also d/l the unlocker there. The area where they are talking about using memory cards is like post 260 or so...good luck. Let me know if you're still stuck.
Also there's a great write up on the process here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473.
I tried that it just gets stuck in bootloader, it says "loading..." and nothing happends. what am i doing wrong?

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32 (YES - FAT 32 32 32!! not just plain old FAT) (again, this is not required if your card is already fat32; it is ok to have other data on the card). I have read that the card needs to be 2gb or smaller, though I'm not sure how much truth, if any, there is to that...
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash from the exe or zip or w/e put it on the microsd card rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH
3.Put the MicroSD card in your phone and Get To the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.
you can also use this procedure to unlock your phone by flashing the .nbh from Cokemans unlocker just extract it and rename it VOGUIMG.NBH or if your stuck at that HTC screen and cant sync because your phone wont boot up.
---This really the best info I can give you...just double check everything you are doing to make sure that you are doing it right. As I said I have never done the unlock process this way, but many people have. Check the second link I gave you in my original post if you need more help...they'll be able to help you I'm sure.
I have done all of that but my phone just gets stuck at the loading grey screen and nothing happends. my phone has the latest rom from sprint. its the 6.1 and I installed it by the bootloader mode with the micro sd card. anything else I can do? if not I found a guy who can repair my mini usb port, but hes about an hour away.
You'll probably waist more time trying to figure this out. I would just drive the hour and get it fixed. It would be more of an investment really especially once you re-sale it for a new phone.
Plus re-programming the phone becomes a whole lot easir 8p
Yeah, that was my Idea, either replace it or fix it. maybe sale it as is and replace it for the touch pro.hmmm, lifes hard choices. what to do...what to do? 8 (

hey guys,
i've problems to update my pocket pc to mobile 6. I tried both methods no one works for me.
First i tried to connect my pocket to my pc and started windows mobile center. Downloaded all the files, but always when i start the update, my pocket goes to the boot screen with the red, freen and blue stripes and the connection disconnects. And i get the message 260 update problems and my pocket stays at the boot screen. Than i tried the same with Windows XP and ActiveSync, the same problem again.
After that, i tried to update with a micro SD card 2GB. I downloaded the "Hard-SPL-V7"-File and saved it to the micro SD. Rebooted the Pocket, but nothing happend, the pocket stayed in the boot screen. Than i renamed RUU_signed.nbh in HERMIMG.nbh and tried it again, nothing happens.
Can somebody help me please? I want to use mobile 6, because i want to use a 8GB Micro SD.
EDIT: THANKS A LOT, but now i have a new Problem i described it in post #6 in this thread. Thank u 4 helping me.
EDIT II: Thank u all, i fixed it by myself. Finally the upgrade worked with XP and ActiveSync. The best thanks to ultramag69 again, he solved my problem.
If you are using vista you need to install this, removing all older versions
Do you have the newest .net framework on your computer from here?
You wont be able to flash via SD without HardSPL, so you need todo it via activesync.
Try another USB port.
Try flashing the shipped from for your device, you can get your newest WM6 rom from here.
If that fails, tell us:
Whats your device (theres loads of different models of the Hermes)
Have you flashed anything before?
What rom is on your device atm?
What SPL do you have atm? (Hard or not)
Also check your serial number against this list for known problems.
There are certain steps needed to be taken. First is making sure your computer has the .net compact framework. Get it here.
Only then can you run hard spl from your computer.
Also, when you put on a .nbh file onto the microsd and rename it, you need to go into bootloader not reboot. You need to hold the power button and ok button while pressing the reset button with stylus...
I have got the same problem....
Using XP not able to flash neither via Active sync nor by SD card...
Stck at MRH 8.4...
Go to post 1160 on page 116 of this thread to flash Hard SPL using the sd card method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You can't flash using the sd card method without Hard SPL. To flash Hard SPl on you need to do an extra step - flash with soft SPL.
To flash the os just leave out steps 5 & 6 from the above post after you have Hard SPL installed...
Cheers...
Thank you guys for helping me,
A big thank to ultramag69, your post solved my problems. It worked great.
But now i have a new problem. I upgrated the SPL to HardSPL v7 (opipro 2.10). With the help from ultramag69 it worked perfect. Sooner i did the radio update with Micro SD - worked perfect too.
So finally i tried to update the ROM, downloaded the german ROM version from this Thread copied all files to the micro SD, renamed the SPL.nbh file in HERMIMG.nbh and did a reboot (ok, start and reset buttons) like i did it before. But it shows me at the screen only HERMIMG.nbh and BOOTLADER. When i start the update it runs 2 seconds and i get the message HERMIMG.nbh - OK BOOTLOADER - OK UPDATE COMPLETE. But it doesnt start the WM6 Update. Why not? Can someone help me again please?
I think the only file that's supposed to be on the microsd is the hermimg file...
not sure if having other files there will effect it like that...

the only file that you have to copy to your SD card is RUU_Wrapper.nbh (size: about 90 MB) after naming it to HERMIMG.nbh
note that this will up-/downgrade your Radio to V1.47.00.10 so you can also check other available German Versions with other Radio versions on the Hermes Wiki

Ok so what is the status of your device now, have you flashed back to official shipped rom?
Please try these instructions. also here please view.
If the sd card is more than 2gb it won't be recognised by bootloader. The os (wm06+) is able to detect and read sdhc but the bootloader doesn't.
Did you format the sd card fat32. I know a few people who swear black and blue they did but when I reformatted it, it was registering as being fat.
Did you copy ONLY THE .NBH file to the sd card and rename it to hermimg.nbh? Won't be recognised if you didn't.
These are steps I tend to go through myself as 1 little thing overlooked can mean either nothing happens or disaster....
Cheers...
ok so i still havent got an answer from awhile back. i cant get this phone to do anything. ive hardspl unlocked it and then i go to flash ANY rom and try to open the custom ruu file and NOTHING HAPPENS! ive copied the rom to my fat32 formated sd card and entered the boot loader screen and still nothing. WTF. there has to be SOMEONE who has flashed these phones using vista. i have windows mobile device center 6.1 and virus protection turned off. still nothing. its like the custom ruu file is empty. ive tried compatibly mode to every other windows option it gives me still same result. ive tried to run as admin. still noting. I CAN HARDSPL UNLOCK ALL DAY!!
This should be in the ROMs section

yes i did.
obvious question but needs asking - have you unzipped the downloaded ROM file to a folder then run the custom ruu?
I use Vista at home all the time without any problems flashing.
the storage card method will nearly always work (on a non-bricked device) when you go into bootloader mode with a valid .nbh file in the root of the sd card.

Long story short. i'm trying android again to see if the newest build has better battery life. the last build couldn't hold a charge long enough to make it worht while as a phone.
The only way i've ever gotten android to get data after being flashed has been to get it working in windows first and then installing android.
i've read and searched for a step by step on how to do this and i just haven't been fruitful.
just download and flash one of the 6.5 builds....there's a very informative guide on how to

not that Im aware of.. my have to RUU back to stock and start over.
look here for sprint rom http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Vogue/
That would be just fine too... i still don't know how to do it. When i run the rom update utility it gives me a connection error.
Edit: I realize that i'm being vague. Let me try to fill in the gaps. I am putting my phone into the bootloader mode, hooking it up to my PC via USB and running the Rom update Utility with a custom rom. The phone has been unlocked so it really shouldn't have any trouble..
What am I doing wrong?

Put your phone in Bootloader Mode by pressing the Camera and Power buttons and then the Reset button all at the same time.
Then make sure you have a radio of 3.4x or above... If not Flash back to a new stock Rom and then follow the threads you were just reading.
If you radio is good go and Download one of the ROMS here on this forum.
Happy Flashing!
P.S Please Ask your Questions in the Q and A section of this forum.

How to Flash a Vogue without ActiveSync
How to Flash a Vogue Without ActiveSync
A method so easy my Mother could do it.
Not suggesting there's anything wrong with my mother, just that she's not all that technically oriented.
Here's an easy way to flash your HTC Vogue without using ActiveSync. It would likely be a great method to use if you had many Vogues that all needed to be updated as well. Works great for those not using Windows, as well.
Look around for a Transflash (aka MicroSD) card, one that you can erase, 2GB or less.
Use your Windows machine to make sure it's freshly formatted as FAT32]
Copy the ROM you want to flash to the card.
Rename the file you just copied to VOGUIMG.nbh If you are flashing a different model, you need to be sure you have the right file name for it. I think the pattern is the first 4 letters of the model name with IMG.nbh after it, but if it doesn't work, don't blame me,
Put card in phone.
Enter bootloader mode by holding the CAMERA and POWER buttons, while pressing the RESET button in the little hole in the bottom of the phone. (don't bother to connect it to your computer)
Enjoy a caffinated beverage of your choice, or an alcoholic beverage of your choice, or heck, a nice tall glass of cool water while you wait.
Watch as your phone automagically flashes itself!
Congratulate yourself on a job well done.
This is what I'm going to use from now on for flashing with a Mac or Linux. For those addicted to flashing, you can even take a collection of cards with you. I'm not yet sure if you can have multiple ROMs on one card, and just rename the one you want to flash or not yet, but I'll likely find out soon.
ATTENTION:
Missing any of these will make it NOT WORK:
Card must be normal SD, not SDHC or XDHC. No bigger than 2GB
Card must be formatted with FAT32. They often come formatted FAT16 or plain FAT, and a previously-used card could have just about any format on it -- NTFS. HPFS. HFS+. EXT3 -- Format it right to be sure.
Be sure you have the right name. I've heard that CaSe cOuNtS -- the name above has been cut/pasted from a working reflash card.
There is no #4.
Have fun!

ok, phone was on charge, phone rang, went to answer, phone rebooted!. Left it but it stayed on 02 screen??.. Battery out, reboot - same thing!
Tried going into recovery but again it hangs on the o2 boot screen?
What the hell has happened?????
Was running DeFrost 3.6 with no problems!
Someone please tell me my phone is not kaput!!
First of all, pull off your sdcard.
Tried that - removed sdcard - still same.. o2 boot screen...
Can anyone help me please?? I cant even get into recovery to to a nandroid restore.. everything i try the phone just sits there on the o2 screen... is there a way to reflash an original rom incase i have to send it back???
I just dont undestand why answering the phone on charge i have ended up with a f**cked phone???
So i imagine you can see hboot screen.
You may try to flash a new recovery with unrevoked.
Yes i can see the Hboot screens.. i tried the unrevoked methos but it wont go any further than saying: waiting for device enable usb debugging... as the phone wont startup.
Vicious circle eh.. thanks for quick reply though..

What i was going to say .... if you cant get to the hboot screen well then bad times indeed
Extreme solution
If you can get the Hboot screen, as extreme solution, just copy in your SDcard (root directory)the file PB99IMG.zip or similar (I have no brand phone, maybe O2 requires a different file).
Be carefull, because this method will reset completely your phone. You will loose Root, every data, and you'll come back to the original branded phone.
You can search for this file at:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
Download the zip file corresponding to your version and rename it in PB99IMG.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your sdcard, start the device in Hboot mode and it should start automatically!
I hope this can help you.
If anyone more expert has a better solution, please help him
No i CAN get into hboot screen.. i just have no idea as to what to do now???

So...the alternative is to have a not working phone. In any case, Unrevoked or not, you should give it a try if you don't have other solutions. But I suggest you to read a lot of threads before you proceed... many similar experiences could help you to understand the procedure.
Yeah agreed.. would rather a working phone.. I have been looking at the bricked threads but they are not so easy to understand.. Appreciate the help though..

I think if i could get usb debugging enabled unrevoked might just work.
Using the cmd tool i can use enableqxdm 0 and it says okay - however unrevoked still does not see it as neither does my pc!
I have no idea how to restore my nandroid without getting into recovery???
I am unsure weather to flash the PB99img.zip as i have a branded phone and i am worried i will completely brick it!
Just so so lost....
Heres a tip though - dont answer your phone when its on charge!!!!

Can i use any of the PB99IMG.zips then as it was an o2 branded phone??? Or can i use the update.zip (is this the nandroid backup??) thats already on my sd card - have card reader so can mess about with that no probs..
I have just seen where it checks for the image afetr getting to Hboot so i understand what its looking for now... Question is what image do i use..
Really do appreciate all the help guys
Ok, i tried flashing one of the pb99img and i get a CID error (incorrect). It says this is because goldcard is not present but it is???? Is it because i am using a different standard rom to the one that was on the phone???
I give up for today - i gotta go to work. If i could get USB debugging to work i would probably be ok, but when i do the commands via cmd prompt it says okay but it doesnt seem to do anything!
My goldcard now seems like it doesnt want to be one, thus the cid error..
I am just going round in circles here..
Think i might just throw the damn thing out of a window - Its doing my head in!!!!!
All from answering the poxy phone whilst plugged in!!!!!
wow.. was hoping for a few replies.. guess no one has any ideas.. guess i am buggered then... ok so if i send the phone back to o2 - what is worse case scenario if they do see its flashed??.. will they just charge me for the fix or just not touch it at all??

I would suggest you put your SD card in your computer and verify the content. Or even better, I hope you have a backup of your SD Card after you rooted your phone. I think your partition may have gone, so you can't boot up anymore. Try to format your sd card, partition it with Gpartition or whatever prog you have and copy back the content of your SD Crad back up on your newly formated SD card. It should do the trick. The same happened to me when I changed my 8gb SD Card for a 16gb one.
Good luck and let me know how it works (or not).

The sd card seems ok in a card reader? I did do a backup a while back but i have a spare sd card so i will try that? Would the sd card problem stop me going into recovery though??? I thought that was phone based and not sd card based??
Hey people,
Figured I would just start my own thread.
I have a Virgin Moble CDMA and it seems to be hard bricked.
With no battery in the phone plug in the USB cable to Windows computer unit vibrates 3 times and nothing more. Computer does not recognize that there is a device connected.
I created a gold card and placed the img file (Bare minimum to fix tripple vibe brick on USCC or VMUSA) from Simonsimon34's thread on the development area.
The SD is placed in the phone plugged in the USB get the 3 vibes and nothing else happens. I have tried waiting and then pushing the volume up to see if it will vibe again....it never does.
I know I am in what is referred to as "Qualcomm diagnostic mode" I have search and can not find anything helpful.
Any other ideas would be great.

I had this problem in the past.
Run the RUU found here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c4e..._1.25_0815_PRL61007_release_219164_signed.exe
It will be a slow download and you may need to try a few times.
Close all open applications. Run the RUU, but stop at the screen where you are able to choose to view the Read Me. Go to Windows Explorer, and type %TEMP% and pick the top one. Find "rom.zip". Move that to the desktop. Format your SD card (FAT32). Rename rom.zip to PG76IMG.zip. Put PG76IMG.zip on your SD card. Then hope it works.
If you're not running Windows or you have other problems or it doesn't work, I'm sure the problems can be resolved.
Thanks for the quick response. But I have already tried this.
I should have mentioned that.

So you did Simon's method and the RUU method?
This is basically what I did..let me know if I am missing something.
I first tried what I believe is Simons method:
1. Took SD connected to computer.
2. I then used Simple Gold card v1 to create the gold card.
* I already had my gold card image from before when the phone was still working.
3. I then placed the PG file on the SD card.
*I've tried both the PG file that I got from the temp folder that the ruu creates and I also tried the PG file on the Simon's developer thread ( the one labeled for 3 vibes)
4. Put the SD card in the phone, then connected the USB to the computer.
All the phone does is vibrate 3 times.
I then tried the RUU.
1. I installed the HTC synch software on the computer
2. Connected the phone to the computer also.
I have tried both with a gold card and a freshly formatted SD card.
3 I then run the RUU.... All I ever get is a USB error stated to make sure the phone is connected.

When you powered the phone on did you hold the volume up and press the power button at the same time?
Yes I have.
Ok, just a thought...
Alright, I had this same problem with my VM Marvelc. I had to send it in. Don't worry. They won't be able to check to see if you've modded because your radio and hboot are totally trashed. They should just send you a new one. (If you have a warranty of any sort.)
Unfortunately I doubt that I have any warranty, I got the phone from a relative who got it at the Elan show(payed $100). It was there X-mas show, she came home with a pile of electronics (tv, android tablet, this phone....). The phone was never activated, I was just about ready too.
My wife isn't too happy that I bricked it since I can't really afford to get another one.
I've spent about a week on it and from all the research I have done pretty much any phone that is in this state either the thread just ends or they get the phone exchanged.
I sent an email to HTC but they want me to call, I'll just try to play as dumb as possible.
Well I ended up calling HTC, come to find out my phone is still under warranty even though I bought this from relative. Looks like they just go by the serial number.
Thanks for all the help, I'll be back once I get the new one.

Awesome. And if they ask, what happened was that you were waiting to do a FOTA, but you decided to do it. After the FOTA, this problem is occurring. (Don't tell them you were messing with ROMs.)
