Hi everyone, I bought my friend's old HTC Vogue today, and am interested in upgrading it to the custom 6.5 ROM. First off, I am familiar with flashing, however, I have an HTC Dream that I currently use with T-Mobile, and I am very confident in using it (flashing, etc). However, I am new to the vogue, and even though there are a lot of familiar things such as the boot loader and image files, I am unable to successfully flash a ROM. The phone is unlocked using the unlocked, however, after the ROM says that it has been successfully installed, the phone just hangs on the Verizon splash screen. My phone is NOT activated with Verizon, could this be the cause? I have the stock ROM so I can easily correct mistakes.
Alright, issue resolved!
How did you solve the problem?
I ran the same procedure and obtained the same results... How can I flash 6.5 on my Vogue after that?

I have Orange branded spv m700 and have unlocked and supercid'd the device using pof's tool. I then added HardSpl (Olipro 1.20). All appear to have loaded fine - phone is unlocked and Olipro shows up when put into bootloader.
So, the problem - every time I flash a cooked ROM (Ausdim, NiAx, FiNixNover...?) it won't boot past the first screen. I can rescue the situation by putting device into bootloader and flashing the official WM6 ROM (no radio, no ipl....) and it boots up just fine.
Can anybody help or at least point me in the direction of some good advice?
hmm... odd... can you list step by step what your procedure is for flashing the ROMs
I've done lots of devices - old XDA2i, SPVM600, wifes SPV M700 (unlocked, hard spl etc and flashed away!
This particular device shows IPL 0.50 & SPL 1.20 Olipro. It is unlocked (have o2 sim working in it), and should be SuperCid (I checked the box and radio shows as 1.16.00.00 - pof's patch I believe?). I also re-run HardSpl and Pof's unlock/supercid patch just in case it hadn't flashed properly.
I generally just download ROM and flash via RUU. Occasionally I get the device not responding error so I just re-run RUU from the bootloader screen.
Have tried WM 6.1 and 6.0 cooked roms but all show initial boot screen (numbers along bottom) next screen and then frozen, have waited and waited and nothing. Also, it would not flash back to Mozzers WM5 Orange UK ROM - same symptoms. I thought it was bricked, but the Dopod WM6 flashed perfectly.
Hope that helps - thanks for looking into my problem.
anybody please? por favor........
hmm.. i remember someone having a similar problem but it was some time ago..
two things to try just in case...
1) i'd manually go to bootloader (hard-spl) before flashing
2) Have you tried to flash from SD card? this method seems to provide less problems..
let me know how it goes..
A degree of success - managed to flash WM6 AX3L. All seems to be working. As I recall this is very similar to the official ROM and I used to use it last year because it is very stable. Think I moved on because of the missing email accounts problem. Will happily keep it if I can sort the email problem out. Never really had much fun with the hard reset after loading method - is there another/better way? Just wondering.
Also, now I have a "cooked" rom loaded perhaps it will stop being so sensitive.....!!
How strange! Have just flashed Akeo's new Diamond port ROM and no problems. Not only that, the ROM is FAB!!!
Hey Guys,
I was trying to flash ToO's Cricket Rom to an HTC Sprint Vogue and after the process was finished it is stuck on the "HTC Smart Mobility" screen. I used an unlocker by cokeman before flashing I I think I need to re-lock the handset to flash it back to the original sprint ROM. However I need the older sprint rom and not the new one with GPS. When I put the phone in bootloader mode this is what it says:
It says:
VOGU100
SPL-0.41 Coke
CPLD-3
Where can I get the older ROM for the sprint vogue?
Update:
I am not able to load the original Sprint ROM. It errors out everytime at about 29%

Check PPCGeeks, there is a thread with factory ROM's.
Try doing this check your registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcosoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCsettings\make sure you only have one entry: Cricket MMS if you have another named Default or Sample, delete them and then try again; if it fails Delete all, soft re-boot and then install your ROM. Good luck.

I'm a little confused on the issue. If you want to flash roms with GPS you need to be unlocked with Imcokes 2.31 not 0.41 unlocker. Once unlocked you can flash to the stock roms. I flash back to Sprints stock GPS rom all the time. Be careful of flashing from a GPS rom back to a non GPS rom. This could cause some issues.
If you are trying to relock your phone thats a different issue.
EDIT: After rereading. Did you try flashing from a non gps rom to a gps rom or vice versa? Your phone looks to be unlocked with a non-gps unlocker. Is the cricket rom GPS?
When flashing a custom ROM your Vogue needs to be unlock with 2.31 (GPS) or .40 (non GPS). Not too sure about cricket but would assume if you have a radio version of 3.xx.xx would be GPS. Hopefully you have not bricked your Vogue.

You may have to resort flashing your ROM in the bootloader mode,
SAME PROBLEM with Vogue
I think I have the same problem as the one who started this thread. here is what I did:
I unlocked a Vogue with the non-gps unlocker (SPL-0.41.Coke)
then I loaded a GPS rom onto the phone (OMJ 3.09)
and now it is stuck at the HTC Screen.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM to the phone, but as descreibed above it will not fully load- it stops at 29 percent- tried it a couple times.
I then tried the OMJ 3.09 again and it still stuck in HTC Screen, and says "No radio.'
I am trying to figure out what to do. I was told by someone to load a GPS radio into it and see if it boots. I have the radio to install but not sure if thats best bet.
I was told by someone else to install nongps radio and then install a nongps rom.
One concern I have is that I will brick my phone that way (if i try to downgrade to a nongps radio after installing a gps rom...but im not sure that the gps rom actually installed a gps radio or not cuz my phone was only .41 unlocked)
Also, I cant seem to install a stock rom because it stops at 29 percent.
Any ideas?
Thanks
found answer
to anyone else with this problem- I just installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357762
and all was well including radio.
Just thought that I would post what happened to my phone and the steps that eventually recovered it in case it helps somebody else:
My phone was stuck with "No Radio" on the boot loader screen and the SPL as "SPL-2.31.CoKe", but none of the 3.x ROMs would flash properly that I tried. So here are the steps that eventually recovered it (mostly...):
1.) I installed the ROM above from the tri-color screen (power+camera+reset). I still had no radio, but it was letting me past this and booting up to WM.
2.) I then re-flashed the 2.31.CoKe boot loader (not sure if this step is necessary but listing what worked...)
3.) I tried to install RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_Ship.exe but it failed at 10% restarting to RUUNBH screen and the installer gave me Error [290]: Invalid Command
4.) I then tried to install the latest sprint ROM straight from the HTC site:_Touch by HTC (Sprint)_RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship this looked like it was going to fail at the same part the Verizon rom did as it rebooted at 10% to RUUNBH screen, but the Sprint installer did something (I heard the computer lose and gain connection multiple times) and eventually it went right back and continued on from 11% and finished successfully.
5.) Rebooted and I had a radio now! Rather then risking trying to install the Verizon ROM again I went straight to the custom ROM I had originally started out with: NFSFAN 6.5 V6 which is working fine for me, except the GPS which is what started out my adventure of the last 3 days...
Just a note: for all flashes except the final one I simply waited till it was at the "Tap the screen..." stage till flashing. I never let any ROM but the final one run it's customization.
Hi everybody,
I am a newbie here and my question may be stupid, for which I apologize.
I had some troubles with my XDA Orbit 2 (HTC Polaris). It wasn't able to boot the WM. I was trough most of the forum. Finally I've flashed the ROM with the original from O2 Website.
But now I'm curious to flash it with different ROM. for that, as I understand, I need to install Hard SPL. I downloaded from here the Hard-SPL-V2.
I've done everything as the instructions are, but it stops at step 7 and sais that it's not for this phone.
Any suggestions please...
ive tried several ways to unbrick my vogue
here is how i started:
i downloaded cokemans unlocker 2.31
after i unlocked it i downloaded omj's manila clean rom
i ran the RUU for omj's m2d
the phone is reset....it is stuck on the verizon wireless screen and will go no further i left it on all night because i was told it was loading...that didnt work
but i heard it is still cureable if i can get to the bootloader screen, which i can.
any ideas
ive tried the storage card method for unbricking, and just plain old re running the unlockers/updaters
any help would be appreciated greatly
i found out i probably went in the rong because i didnt upgrade the radio to 3.xx
have you tried hard resetting
red and green buttons(send/end)
and placing your stylus in the hole under the buttons at the bottom
i did the same thing last week,
go to the htc.com site and download the rom for your phone. then go into the bootlader screen ... i think its was the camera and reset button that got me in it. then load up the default rom wich will upgrade your radio and unbrick your phone. then jsut go ahead and unlock again and upgrade to 6.5
sprint htc vogue wanting to go to cricket
i was just reading the thread and was wanting to know if someone might have the stuff i need for a sprint htc touch to unlock and flash for cricket. thanks in advance for any advice.
got it
i just kept doing the stuff over and over and i randomly ran the unlocker again in the bootloader screen and heh it worked...but the power button would actually turn off the phone and i needed to hard reset it to turn it back on...the solution to that was the alltel rom and an upgraded radio
i think i can now begin on getting gps
if you need help
just send me a message im a noob too but i can try to get you out of the trouble going missing a phone for a week feels terrible
Hi all,
I've been spending the last couple of days on these forums and google trying to resolve the issues I have been having nonstop since I decided to unlock and flash my HTC One M9 but I've run into a wall and don't know what else I can do to fix my phone. Stupidly I did not create a backup before flashing so I think I am up **** creek as I cannot install stock roms either. I've have been following the guides but having issues the whole time through with the M9 for some reason.
HTC One M9 - Telstra (Australia) S-ON
After lots of ****ing around I have successfully managed to Unlock, Install TWPR, Flash SuperSU, Flash Android Revolution custom rom. This has wiped all my IMEI/SIM settings etc. I managed to find the stock telstra RUU to got back to stock rom as this is how to fix this problem, except when I try to install I get errors saying 'Device id/information not found'
Does anyone have any similiar experiences or know of anyway to fix this? Any and all help is appreciated.
It's impossible to help without knowing your current firmware and the firmware of the RUU you wanted to flash.
Be aware that there is not "the stock telstra RUU". RUUs are always stock and normally HTC creates one for each firmware version of their phones. The catch is that they don't get distributed officially (unless they're made for US carriers) but leaked by insiders.
However, the problem with the IMEI is explained in the ReadMe thread.
