I have a vx6900 on the way(should be here in an hour or two), and I've been reading all I can, but the lack of stickies isn't helping.
I have a couple Q's that I hope I can get answered.
-Can windows mobile device center be used instead of activesync since I'm using Vista? NVM again, I'm assuming its reffering to the winmo app ActiveSync, not the app on my PC
-When it says DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN, how exactly do I not let them run? turn the device off? NVM!!! Found this answer, just reset when you see the message.
EDIT 1:
It just got here, has 6.1 and radio version 3.37.78.
I now understand a little more, but I still have questions.
EDIT 2:
alright, got some more reading done.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
I'm assuming that that is up-to-date.
I just need somebody to confirm these, then I can get on with it.
NVM I GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT!!
Well, you basically got everything worked out... to avoid customizations, you need to soft reset when the box comes up... radio 3.37 is a good radio.. That link in EDIT 2 is up to date, but you will only need that if you let the customizations run.
Oh, wait, I just saw your got it all figured out...

Hi,
Today I'm trying to update my T-Mob Vario 2. I want to put a new ROM on it. Anyway, I read it's better to upgrade using an SD card instead of using USB.
I don't know if the updating process really succeeded. When the bootloader says: "Update complete". What do I have to do? A soft reset? Or what?
I tried to install Hard SPL v7 and I want to check if it's really installed. What's the best way to check this?
Thanks!
(and yes, I've read the FAQ/Wiki)

if you read the wiki you would know how to SPL on your hermes go back and read some more!
Ah, mrvanx's guide didn't work for the last 2 hours but it's working right now. I'll read some more over there.
But my real question was: What do you do when your device says: "Update complete". A soft-reset?
it will soft reset itself and u'll get the "tap screen to start" screen...
you can check yr spl by going into bootloader mode (hold the power and OK button below the scroll wheel and poke the stylus into the soft-reset hole and hold it there for a while).. to exit just poke yr stylus into the hole again..
that didn't sound quite right hahaha!

yup. it should auto SR, but if it doesn't, help it along
Nice!
I needed an hour of 5 to read some stuff and to unlock my device, make it Hard SPL and put Black 3 on it
(Yeah, for the first time )
Thanks XDA Community!
does anyone actually see a big difference between the roms as we keep flashing, i've flashed like 8 or so roms, and the only things i see different are from wm5 to wm6.....
just seeing how every1 else feels towards it and whether i should keep playing w/ it over and over...
btw... does anyone know why my wm6 always goes to the today screen after i wake it up again? it's not the today timeout option under settings.... so yeah... i thought a registry edit may have something to do it
I always upgrade from SD (seem faster than USB) and it never auto-softresets, so I manually do it with stylus. Never had problems.
im getting error 202: connection. It is saying my phone is not connected, but it is. any ideas?
Thanks a lot guys. had some free time so thought I'd flash 6.1 since it was my original intention for getting this phone, lol
it just worked
Stupid question, do you have Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center installed and is it the newest version? That'd be my first thing to check. Without it your system most likely didn't install the proper drivers for flashing. Also I believe the service needs to be actually running on the PC and Dash...
okay i just got error 270. which doesnt make any sense because I ran the SDA unlocker.
okay, when I run SDA unlocker, it tells me that it cannot unlock my phone. Any ideas? I really wanna get 6.1 lol
edit: it says "phone is not unlockable"
could it have anything to do with my phone being a rogers locked s621, or would that make a difference? I can't do anything untill I app unlock it
any ideas? i really want to flash to wm6.1.

Did u follow this link i gave in previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2807194&postcount=485 ?
Quote from thread:
1. Transfer "SP_AllowCertificateInstall" to your dash and click on it to install it. (Folder 1)
REBOOT
2. Run "SDA_ApplicationUnlock" from your desktop, with your dash connected. (Folder 2)
REBOOT
You might need to run both a couple times.
thanks stylez. i think i tried once and it didnt work. ill try again in the morning when im home. would not having done this make sense why sda said my phone was not unlockable?
thanks for all your help
thanks stylez, i got sda unlocker to work with the cab file you pointed out. but now im getting the 202 connection error again, lol. and 1 time i got a 260 connection error. i just restarted my computer and am going to try one last time before bed. any more ideas are greatly appreciated
thanks for all your help. successfully did it this morning, and is up and running. The only thing not working is my data because in the connection setup, Canada isn't even in there, nor is Rogers, lol. That's mean guys
Anyways, if someone can help me setup my network settings for rogers data, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for everyone helping me flash my s621 Once I get my data working, my phone will be 100%
So..my phone is rather useless at the moment. Won't load the rom after freezing up while i slept last night. I go into bootloader and try to reflash but get the error "Invalid update tool" and it says something about a newer version. Has anyone had this error or know how to fix it? I am in desperate need of assistance here. Thank you for all replies in advance.
Edit: The exact error is as follows
Code:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility.
I was running Kavana cooked rom 6.1.
I have tried to reflash with atleast 5 different roms and they all present this error.
Just checking, but did you try the default ROM for your device? If it is a T-mobile Dash, you will want to use one the the Tmobile stock ROM's first.

I know this might be a stupid question of me but, did you do a hard reset?
Why would you make another thread regarding issues with your phone, when you already have a thread going about problems with your phone?
Please post accordingly You should've posted this other issue on your previous thread, rather than making a new one! Can you imagine if everyone would make a thread for every little issue with their phone?

It won't hard reset. I made a new topic because this is a completely different problem. I apologize if it was not necessary.
Bump.
Any ideas at all?
Ah yes.
My bomb didn't detonate until some time Wed/Thu night. 6am Thu morning I had to be at my local Polling Station where I was to be the 'Presiding Officer'.
Bad, bad timing.
Still, I managed a hard reset without the SD card in, (this took a few attempts), and having basic phone function, off I went to do my bit for European Democracy - honestly, the whole thing would be chaos without me ...
Anyway, I digress. I do that quite a lot. There was this one time ...
... I didn't get 'round to trying to sort it all out until Sat afternoon, (the phone, not the European Parliament), and as I have flashed this phone to buggery and beyond I expected it to take little time.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I downloaded the latest version of the Energy ROM, (love it, love it, love it), ran the .bat file and; error 270.
I sparked up the bootloader and, of course, no connected device meant no update. I tried various 'stock' ROMs and got the same error you describe.
In UK, my provider is BT and there is no image link in the stickies, (I have finally found one, I will send a Mod a link), and tracking a full basic .exe image proved really difficult.
However, once found, all my problems evaporated.
So, find an executable basic ROM image from the phones' original provider, fire up the bootloader, run the .exe and a few minutes later you will be able to reflash.
Honest.
I believe you can also load the image as a .cab file onto the SD card and install from there but I didn't have to investigate this so can't promise anything. Sorry.
The ROM image is the key.
Once the bomb detonates, hard reset etc seems to become a bit flakey - keep trying.
I'm rambling again, aren't I?
Another beer I think ...
** Edit **
Yes, of course the BT ROM is now working.
Now I don't need it.
Ah well.
Here's my phone info:
AT&T Tilt 2 6.5 (says world phone when it starts up)
CE OS 5.2.21849
ROM: 1.59.502.3
Radio: 4.48.25.20
480 x 800 resolution
I've tried for several days to hack, install, flash, jailbreak, etc.
*~*NOTHING WORKS*~*
I've researched this sight until wee hours in the morning all this week - nothing helps...
Suggestions...comments...please, at least no bashing me...I waited several days to post this as I have done my research but I'm just too tired of looking and can't figure it out...
All I want to do is freakin' put a new rom on my phone...I like NRGZ28's roms and I've put the stupid Hard SPL Olinix or whatnot on my phone.
But beyond that I've read every manual and text file but it just won't work...
also...
what other rom's are out there that i can try???

You should post this in the NRG ROM thread, or even better the "Flashing ROM for NOOBs", you will get more support there. Also, list your current ROM. If you have hard SPL then all you need to do is download the NRG ROM, extract it from the 7-zip archive, and put both the files in a folder. Connect your phone via activesync, and then execute the custom RRU exe program. I have flashed several times.
You don't say what errors you are getting - people need as much information as possible.
@ Lennyz1988
thanks but the page you sent me would be one of those text files, explanations, etc that I already read a million times and isn't specific enough for me
one of the main problems is that when documents explain unzipping, unraring, etc, MOST (not always) of the time they never state specifically to where it must be unzipped/unrarred: to the computer desktop? a specific folder in the phone's memory? the sd card?
however, i did hard spl my phone, when i enter bootloader mode it does show the olinix thing on it, so is this the rom number i need to list?? does it have anything to do with rom?
@ stevedebi, isn't the rom number i listed the one that's needed? what other info is needed as i don't think there is anymore info i can get off my phone that i didn't list, but being a noob please explain away so i can get this straight
*~*~*~*~ wait, i think u mean this...it has the 6.5 rom that it came with when i bought it...is that what you're looking for??

With the HARD SPL you now can use custom roms because youre TP2 is not Vendor locked anymore ;-)
But he is not SIM unlocked
ok...

no offense...but what does this mean?
For example, I go to NRGZ28's ROM page. I've already hard spl-ed my phone. Check.
Next, I unzip (just 5minutes ago) the 7z file that comes with the customruu.exe and try to set it up on my phone. Fail.
The attachment is what I see every time without fail. No progress beyond this point...help?
THANKS - PROBLEM SOLVED ON THE FLASHING ROM PAGE!!! THANKS A MILLION TO STEVIEWEVIE!!!!

Since you took the time to post your problem on THIS forum, please respond with WHAT you actually did to fix your issue. It is kinda not cool to get everyone to help you, then when you solve your issue, just say problem solved and not say what you did. No offense, not bashing you, just let everyone else know what worked to fix your issue.
solution
PROBLEM SOLVED! SOLUTION BELOW:
i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i also moved to a separate folder to keep it apart from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash
I haven't been able to unlock my touch. I am using 2.31 unlocker, I run the RUU.exe and get up to the point where the phone shows the gray screen with the %bar. But it stays at 0% and after a few minutes a get Error 262.
I have already re-flashed to my stock ROM, but same results.
Touch (Sprint)
ROM: 3.03.651.4
Radio: 3.42.30
WinMo 6.1
Update:
I have tried on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, and on Windows XP Pro 32-bit. Same results....
Try this...
I'm sure the thread will be locked and you'll be told to ask in the FAQ's thread or something, but I hate when that's the only thing you get... not helpful enough! So maybe I can sneak in before the lock.
I had this problem a week ago, and for whatever reason, the only thing that worked for me was: 1st, flashing to the latest stock ROM (which you already have), then turning on the phone and letting it connect to Windows Mobile Device Center (Win7) or ActiveSync (WinXP) (do the whole 'connect without configuring device thing) then run the actual unlocker BAT file (Vogue_unlocker.bat) in the 2.31 unlocker.
Trying to manually run the EXE didn't want to work - letting the BAT file do it's thing through activesync actually worked for me.
Maybe it'll help... I hope so! Good luck!

Oh come on Nu!
Unlike most other mods, I don't simply lock the thread. I lock it and/or transfer it to the Q&A thread where I answer the question myself. Please don't say these things. I try to keep the Vogue apart from the usual MO in several other fora.
I do it for 2 reasons:
a. To keep clutter to a minimum
b. To have a nice db with solutions to many issues that people may have with their Vogues. Trust me that the Search Engine of this site works much better when you look through a single thread than when you look for threads.
@caquito07,
I am transferring your question over to the Flashing Guide Sticky thread. Please follow up over there.
@Nu,
One last thing... thanks for stepping in
