Enter the boot loader using the method in the post above this. Once in there you'll be able to plug in your USB cable and 'USB' will appear on the bottom section of the bootloader. You can then go flash a ROM from your PC as if it was connected to ActiveSync.

i've managed to load up bootloader and installed one of donors rom, but now i can't go back to my original korean rom...it is not released and all i have is 4 dump raw files from it. i tried building rom with .nbh from the donors....but phone kept freezing.....weird......

Here you go (extract with 7zip); HardSPL is necessary to flash:

Help

I was unlocking my AT&T SX56 and the rom upgrade just stoped and I could not do anything to mak eit start up again. Now The pocket PC has upgrading rom always on the screen and I can gt active sync to even see the pc to try and flash it or upgrade the rom again. If you have any info you think that might help would be great. Thank you for your help.
If you still can get to the bootloader screen (power + soft reset), you can cook a new ROM as nbf file and use the SD flashing method.
Cool man I can get to that screen and will give that a go
Ok got a SD card and put on a new rom how can I make it load the info from th card. Also everytime I try and make a nbf file type it erros on me.

Need Help "unbricking" my friends phone

Friend got a vogue but he "bricked it" he doesnt even remember what he did,
he is very new at this and looks like he did a rom update without doing a radio update first.
i have an HTC titan but i am going to buy this vogue off of him if i can fix it.
so here is the issue...
when u start the goes it goes to the 3 color tri-color boot screen...
it goes right there without even me holding down the power and camera buttons.
i used mtty to get it out of that screen... i do set 16 0 and some other thing i can't remember for the life of me now in mtty
i reboot the phone and now it get the a custom Dette clean rom 6.1 splash screen but it says no Radio and it now just stuck there.
i tried to load the stock rom on a 2 gig fat32 formated flash card and inserted it into the phone. then boot it to the 3 color screen, and it just says no file! in gray backbground then goes back to the tri color screen...
i made sure the name was correct.. i tried "Voguimg.nbh" i tried "voguimg." and just "voguimg" then i tried it in all caps and then all first letter cap then rest lower case...
it is spl-2.01.1000
i think my friend flashed the rom without upgrading the spl as well.
i tried to flast it with sp 2.31 but i couldnt get it to load it. i guess i can't flasth to 2.31 in the tri color screen...
any ideas? any help would be greatly apreciated. spent about a week on this... probably about 2 to 3 hours reading and reseaching daily.

I even tried to stock vogue roms (this is a verizon phone)
but i tried even the following sprint stock roms:
RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship.exe
this gets me to 1% then errors out
and says error 328 invalid command, this update utility can not be used with my phone. please check my update utility... wat
RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe
this one stays at 0%
tried the verizon stock rom...
which stays at 0%
i dont know if the spl has something to do with it but i read the first file i mentioned the stock rom 1.12... reloads the spl, boot loader, everything to original.
I noticed when I first flashed my phone, also xv6900, that when I was unlocking, I didn't fully complete it, and it showed SPL version 2.10, or something along that line.
There is no stock VZW ROM available, so that's a waste of time. I think the first problem is, you have no idea how it got that way. I'd assume your friend didn't complete the unlocking process, then ran the RUU for the new ROM.
I'm not 100% sure, hopefully someone can either correct me on this, or confirm.
You should be ok since you can enter the bootloader. Perhaps you could try relocking it, you would use ImCokeMan's relocker, should be SPL version 0.43. Then you could try unlocking again.
I'd suggest checkin at PPCGeeks, asking in either the general Vogue flashing threads, or try asking ImCokeMan himself.
i will try .43, i am trying .41 but it keeps saying no device connected would you like to try copying again?
on this screen :

* Vogue/Sprint Touche CID unlocker utility

* Total process may take about 5-10 minutes depends on CPU speed.

Connect your device via activesync before continuing.

unbricking ur phone
Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited *This will help those that are stuck at the HTC welcome screen and cannot get past it to load IMCokeMan's Unlocker.**
Edit by ImCoKeMaN: If you are stuck in bootloader (3 color screen) use titanexitbl or mtty (set 16 0 then task first and try these steps only if that doesn't work.
Apparently you can not use SDHC cards with this method, please use the 512mb card that came with your phone.
I have successfully unbricked my phone due to updating the Alltel rom to a non Alltel Vogue, before IMCokeman had released his unlocker an also have downgraded to the previous SPL version. I will shortly update this post with the How to instructions. I just need to retrace my steps.
I would first like to thank IMCokeMan for his help and unlocker.
I currently have a Sprint Vogue but I assume this will work for all versions
For those that had loaded the Alltel rom without the unlocker and have bricked there phone try this procedure to unbrick your phone.
1. First download IMCokeMaN's 2.31 Unlocker. http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Extract IMCokeMan's unlocker
Previous SPL version was 2.31 current SPL version is 0.36
Edit by ImCoKeMaN:
Note: Steps 3, 4 and 5 should not be necessary, but step 6 is critical that it is a signed rom from your carrier
3. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called VOGUIMAG2.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
4. Copy the file to a fat32 memory card, and insert it back into your phone, and place it into bootloader mode.
5. The phone should display Loading... let it sit there for a minute or so. It will not go past this screen, now reboot the phone.
6. Extract your official rom using WINRAR by right click and extract files (Must be a signed EXE from your carrier get it from HTC support website)
7. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the files
8. Copy the files to your memory card (less than 2gb and formated fat32) and insert it back into the phone and place it back into bootloader mode(POWER+CAMERA+RESET USING STYLUS), and install the your Carrier's Official ROM.
I have attached the VOGUIMG.nbh file for those that are having problems.

these instructions do not seem to work me.
he has a sprint phone... he assumes it works for all types but i have a verizon phone... and on a signed verizon nbh file ... it only says loading... and gets stuck there... on step 6... and a sprint rom says loading.. and then says checking right away and then says not allowed in red and goes back to the 3 color screen.
also the poster of this mentions he has spl 2.31... my spl says spl-2.01.1000 which is not .40 .41 or 2.31 (the most comment spl's i have seen referenced)
has anyone ran into these conditions? spl 2.01... stuck, and has verizon.
mine was originally stuck at the 3 -color boot screen... even after taking battery out and putting it back in and just powering on without holding camera-power keys... it goes into the boot screen only...
so i used mtty did set 16 0 and then "boot" and now when i restart the phone it goes right to the splash screen and gets stuck there saying dette's clean rom ... but "no radio" and just stays there.

[Error 226] My phone is brick ?

Hello,
After a flash of GenY 1.1 by MTTY (and internal storage) the flash stop at 71% with a 226 error.
Now I can't flash HardSPL (flash goes to 100% but the version of my HSPL in bootloader still the same !). I can't flash on official rom (stop at 61% with same error code).
Anyone now if it's possible to do something for that ?
Thanks
PS : sorry for my english !
I can never change my hardspl without using the jumpspl technique as in link below for hardspl 1.24
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
It always stays the same despite reaching 100%

Hi !
I've tried to flash HSPL 1.24 but like my phone doesn't boot, I can't copy and execute JumpSPL.exe and the RomUpdateUtility can't flash the HSPL.
JR_de > i's for the trinity, the 1.20 Olipro it's not for diamond, and I'm no SuperCID.
I've tried with 1.40 Olinex Unsigned with mtty command in your link but still the same error when I flash an official rom (2.03.406....)
thanks for your answers

On what OS are you trying this?
Windows XP / Vista / 7 32bit? 64Bit?
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578231
is there a bootble ROM on it?
if so , download a stock image from HTC and copy to top level of your 4GB
reset and press the enter and back buttons
follow on screen instructions
i recomend that you flash like this, much safer
good luck
hello, happy new year everybody !!
there is no bootble ROM on my diamond.
I have no access to the internal storage, I can't copy a nbh file on it.
I try to flash an hspl with change .nbh after click on the first "next" in the customRuu, but the version of the hspl always doesn't change, and error 260 when I flash an OS rom...
nobody has a solution ?!
Try and flash back to stock SPL, check my sig
after that, try and flash stock OS
if either fail, send to HTC
Good Luck

hello how do j install this android nand rom on my touch diamond?
sorry for my english
Not yet, But they need more testers. The Recovery.img for the diamond 100 is here too. All the work is done by (I believe)tiad8 forum. For more info and status of this project, please visit this site (google: Diamond nand tiad8)....
Guide from tiad forum:
- You must have Hard spl 1.93
-Download :DIAM100.nbh , recovery.img
-flash nbh "usb flash" with DiamonCustomRUU and then pull battery.
-connect your usb then turn on device.wait for fastboot to be enable. you need the latest from myitx V2 for diam100 and 300
-flash recovery,code,fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-boot into recovery,code,fastboot boot recovery.img

i am waiting that too cause i dont have much time for testing it and then putting WinMo6.5 back (cause i have only diamond). if i put that nbh i will lose all my settings and programs installed on winmo, will i loose internal storage of neofroyo on haret ?

Yep, With a nand Android rom you will loose all your data and setting (not the internal storage only the nand memory). To install Neofroyo properly, the internal storage needs special formats. So you need to put the data and settings after install of neofroyo back on the internal storage.
But I prefer Nand flash because its faster and more stable. If there is a stable and fully working rom of course .

no i know how to install neofroyo but if i istall nbh (as on kaiser i had before) and test it and then install back winmo titanium rom will ext2 (for neopeek's neofroyo) partitions will be saved or formated while flashing rom
hope this will be done soon, because FRX07.1 is very mature, but the speed and batery life is very poor, so hopefully this will be better with NAND Flash.
If someone has more info about current status and maybe an eta I would be glad.
I didn't think that this will ever be possible

All data and partitions on the internal storage will be saved. Only the Nand memory will be formatted.
and android from haret don't use anything from NAND ?

Can i use CWM and EXrecovery (v19c) for v20c rom?
Hi @alamatnitotoy !
Me and my friend, who has su880, were testing the v20c kdz.
We flashed v20c kdz using KDZ updater, smartflash and even we tried the offical LG update upgrading from v19c to v20c.
After every way of flasing v20c the phone always stucked at LG boot logo. So We read back every partition from the phone and it turned out that the LNX partition, which contains the kernel, is empty. I mean the kernel was missing after every flash of v20c, but every other partition was okay.
We extracted the the every file from the kdz and the the kernel image was empty in this case as well.
I don't know what is it. Maybe we are doing something wrong or LG simply left out the kernel file from v20c?
Did you flashed v20c?

yes i did flash the v20c. I had that problem before also when using other flasher other than the kdz updater. also sometimes when its failing, what i do is i run the file "Root v20c" thru apx before using the KDZ updater to upload the v20c

Thnak you! The rooting-forv20c.rar contains the v20c kernel file.
I need CWM for v20c.Do you have it?
@alamatnitotoy I looked deeply into why flashing v20c brick your phone. My statement that the kernel image is missing from v20c was wrong. The kernel is there but an wrong place. When you use the extractor from P990 AIO toolkit to extract the image files from AP.bin file, the extractor shows you that which image file is at what OFFSET (or address) in the AP.bin file. Here is what am I talking about:
Code:
[01] address=0x00100000 size=0x00400000 // bct file
[02] address=0x00500000 size=0x00200000 // partition layout
[03] address=0x00700000 size=0x00200000 // bootloader
[04] address=0x00900000 size=0x00600000 // recovery
[05] address=0x00f00000 size=0x2bc00000 // system
[06] address=0x2cb00000 size=0x00600000 // kernel
[07] address=0x2d100000 size=0x12c00000 // internal sd content
These adresses also used during smartflashing. These adresses tells the smartflash where is the kernel image and system image and etc in the v20c AP.bin file
If you flash v20c and you read back the 12th partiton with nvflash you can see only zeros.
If you open teh v20c AP.bin file in a hex editor and you go to the 2CB00000 offset you can see there is nothing just bunch of zeros, the kernel is not there. The kernel actually at 2E000000 offset. Not just the kernel is at a wrong offset, also the sd-img is at the wrong offset. sd-img should be at 2D100000 offset, but in the v20c AP.bin it is at 2E600000 offset. So, when you flash v20c the kernel partition will be filled with 00 hex values and the internal sdcard got damaged as well, because the kernel image gets flashed to the internal sdcard. This cause the Stuck at LG boot logo effect, even if you flash v20c kernel to the righ partition with nvflash, because the internal sdcard is damaged.
Fixing v20c AP.bin file:
There are only 00 hex values From 2CB00000 to 2E000000.
Delete those 00 hex values, then the kernel image and the sd-int.img get to the right offset
Insert the same amount of 00 hex values as the amount of deleted 00 hex values to the end of the v20c AP.bin file to keep the size of the sd-int.img, then save the modifications.
I flashed this modified v20c AP.bin to my p990. I read back every necessary partition with nvflash and everything was okay. bootloader, bct, partitions, kernel, recovery, system are aon the right partition so maybe it's fixed, but I am not 100% sure just 98% because I don't have su880
I want to share you and with others the fixed v20c, so you can test. You can download it here
I want to share my google drive folder as well where you can find my works with su880. It has cwm for v19c and v20c. I also write a read me how can you flash it and root your phone with CWM. Well it was not tested as well, I am 98% sure it works, because rooting p990 and su660 stock roms works that way and p990, su660 and su880 almost the same. I use the CWM recovery image from "CWM for v19c".
My folder is here, some files are still uploading. I will notice you in this post when it is finished
There is no bootloader.img in the folder "SU880_V20C_CWM".Have you forgot it?

Oh sorry . Bootloader is there just rename it to bootloader.img from bootloader.bin, or download the rar file again from my google drive folder. I fixed it now.
I'm trying to fix "dual clock" at the lockscreen on my v20c rom.Do you know how?

Search for that in the Optimus 2x forums, there should be the solution. I remember that some peopla who are useing su660 solved this dual clock thing.

If you can go to S/W download mode then flash this with smartflash. If you can't go to S/W download mode use "Bootloader installer for v19c", and flash that rom I linked
I cant go s/w mode but volume+ power working. What should i do? Can u explain step by step? Where i can find bootloader installer for v19c?

The bootloader installer is at the first post of this thread.
Enter your phone to APX mode:
Remove battery
Press and hold volume_up and voulume_down button while you connect USB cable
Install APX drivers
Run the bootloader installer for v19c.
