help with my vogue? - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

its a verizon vogue... and its brand new (well 2 weeks old)
i wanted to load nfsfans 6.5 rom... but it was my first time flashing. and being a noob, i used .41 unlocker.coke
i managed to have a verizon rom via sd card but it just boots up to the verizon logo and gets stuck.
any suggestions?
on ppcgeeks, someone said to just flasha rom that is NOT gps capable. is he right?
and could i use a rom from adifferent carrier? (other than verizon)

file i downloaded.
i did a little bit of research. thought it would be possible to have another carrier's rom. so i used this... (dcd's .20 rom)
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/jim256 - jim2561/dcd_vogue_1.0.4_sprint.exe
it says its been successfully installed. will boot up into my verizon screen. and will stay like that. anyone had any luck getting out of this?

easy fix flash a shipped ROM

hmm.
i looked on ppcgeeks in the shipped rom subsection. no verizon rom there. and i am hesitant to put on a sprint or an alltel rom there.

Follow the steps in this link http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS.
Each step has a link to the files you need, even the verizon wm6.1 release. After this is done and you phone working you can flash whatever custom rom you like.

This link should work for you & you should be able to skip step 6. Here are a couple of more links for you that will also work. Both of these are great threads with a tutorial & include all the need files as well.

Flashing How To

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473
well im changing this because of a request that a lot of people supposedly dont know how to flash. but i dont think that the link was doing anyone much good. so here is what is at the link (right now at least).
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE HTC CDMA TOUCH (VOGUE) !!
i know this first post here is now real long, but READ IT ALL before posting/pm'ing anyone. trust me, you will get through it all...every last word.
(dont get all scared either, this cant ruin your phone. if you are stuck at the htc boot screen, your device is not bricked. if you are stuck at a rainbow/tricolor screen, your phone is not bricked. have faith and patience! )
this method is for a pc running Microsoft Windows XP. if this is not your situation, still continue reading as there are methods for virtually every case.
ive been told that imcokeman's vogue unlocker will not work from a partitioned drive, though im not sure if thats the case.
if you know what flashing/the benefits of flashing are, skip this paragraph; if not, read on. flashing could be likened to installing a different Operating System on your PC. keep in mind, however, that when flashing roms to phones/pdas, the roms ARE DEVICE SPECIFIC. if you find an awesome rom for the titan and LOVE it, but you yourself have a kaiser, forget it. only roms made specifically for your device (and no, even if you have a cdma device, and they make a gsm version of your device, it still will not work) will work for your device. the benefits/advantages of flashing a custom rom onto your device are speed enhancements, addition/removal of programs/settings/reg settings you want or dont want.
now for how to..
for some slight insight on using a Mac, have a look down to the bottom where it says "HERE IS THE BOTTOM" after reading everything else, and/or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ighlight=macos
for how to on Vista: look down to the bottom where it says "HERE IS THE BOTTOM" after reading everything else, and/or simply remove any sd cards you might have and follow below directions as normal, and/or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292631
linux users: still read everything here, but have a look down at the bottom where it says "HERE IS THE BOTTOM"
for those who don't know this, flashing your phone also performs the same functions a hard reset would. all your previous apps, contacts, registry tweaks, etc will be gone. also, when you flash someone elses custom rom onto your device, keep in mind that they may have cooked in their own apps and registry tweaks.
ok, go ahead and go to this http://rapidshare.com/files/88767429/RUU.zip.html rapidshare link, and download the ruu.zip there. (if this does not work, navigate to \vogue\users on the ftp, and you should find "RUU.zip" there. if not, go to the folder there titled "jim256-jim2561" and you should find "RUU.zip" there.)
if for some reason you are unable to download the ruu from the above link/location, try my ftp dir here: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/jim256 - jim2561
download whatever rom image you want
if the rom you download is in nbh format (something.nbh), read on and skip step 7.
if the rom you dowloaded is an exe (something.exe), read on and skip steps 5 and 8 (or use winrar or a similar program to extract the .nbh from the .exe)
then, get imcokeman 's latest vogue unlocker tool.
for those who arent sure, you never have to have ActiveSync synchronized for this to work. you just have to have it connected, with ActiveSync recognizing that the device is there and plugged in.
1. backup all contacts/data/etc..
2. ensure your device is connected to your pc via activesync.
3. run imcokeman 's vogue unlocker and follow ALL instructions in the command prompt exactly .
4. once you have booted back up into wm and are connected to activesync again (dont worry about setting up your device again because you're just going to flash it again and erase all that in a second anyway) extract the ruu.zip to somewhere convenient.
5. (FOLLOW THIS STEP ONLY IF THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS AND NBH) stick the rom you downloaded (should be something.nbh -- if the file extension is NOT NBH, stop; this will get you nowhere. as i stated above, roms are device specific, you cannot install another devices rom to your vogue.) into the RUU folder from the rapidshare/ftp link.
6a. (power-camera reset) press and hold both the camera button and the power button (top), and poke the stylus into the reset hole. you should then be presented with the tricolor screen and near the top you should see something like coke 0.4.0 ( if you do not see the coke 0.4.0, then dont bother trying to flash your device. if it does not say coke 0.4.0, the device is not unlocked, and you need to start at step 3 again).
7. (FOLLOW THIS STEP ONLY IF YHE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS AN EXECUTABLE). run the exe!
8. (FOLLOW THIS STEP ONLY IF THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS AN NBH) run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the ruu folder you downloaded and extracted.
9. follow the steps, be patient, be careful, and whala!
10. thank imcokeman and whoever you downloaded your rom image from.
good luck.
also, for all those that keep asking about this and are worried about this, yes, the version discrepancy is completely normal in the ruu before updating. it just means v1 of the cookers rom, so even if it is a version lower than 1.12.651.1, that is ok.
whenever you flash a custom rom, it says whatever they want it so say in the ruu, so even if it doesnt say 1.12.651.1, that doesnt mean that it is downgraded, it is just the version of the custom rom builders rom.
HERE IS THE BOTTOM
ok, for those vista/mac/linux users, there is another method of flashing., courtesy of pnyce777 in post #42 and on. this method is via the sd card. it is not required that you do step one if your card is already fat32. i will update this post as we gain more knowledge
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.
i will try to provide support on this as i can, but as i have never used this method myself, pnyce777 is probably a far better resource if he is available and willing.
sorry this is now so long, wasnt supposed to be in the first place. but if you're not already used to a lot of reading, this is a good first step, because you will need to be doing a LOT of reading.

bump for same reason as above.
thanks for the gudie dude
Jim, great how to. As a noob, I have a qstn about different carriers. I just got a VZ touch and want to know which roms are best to use with which carrier? Some roms seem carrier specific... others seem like they will work on anything. How do you tell whats wat? I have been waiting for someone to post a ROM specifically for VZW, but I haven't found it yet.
It might also be helpful to add a glossary. Like I have read how some folks have taken a sprint kitchen moved it to a new directory (?) and merged it to make a verizon kitchen. With that people have flashed their VZ phones but it doesn't seem like something a noob should try

ok. so as for different roms saying they are for different carriers, they are most likely just referring to having the different directories (/folders) for the carriers. so what that means is that a sprint rom would actually work just fine for you, but it may have things like sprint tv or on demand on the cube or other places. it will still function just fine and everything though. it would probably look a little different than the stock vzw rom (im not sure really how it looks) and such. the only way that you could get screwed having the wrong rom for your carrier is if you were flashing the radio as well. but since you're not (in most cases), it doesnt matter really. just be sure to check the roms threads about whether they include a radio or not.
as for the glossary thing, that is probably a great idea. thanks for the tip i will get working on that.
so what you will need to do is:
1) download a kitchen: set of tools for creating/editing roms. dcd just finished his vogue kitchen; available here on xda in this vogue upgrading subforum. there is also lattisimo's older vogue kitchen available on the ftp site over at ppc geeks ("qlinks" at top of page, ftp upload/download, vogue -> users -> lattisimo? (i think?)).
2) download a verizon titan/mogul/ppc 6800 kitchen from somewhere, look in the "sys" folder contained therein, and copy the "carrier vzw" or "verizon" or "carrier customizations - verizon" folder (it will be something like that) into the "sys" folder of the vogue kitchen you have downloaded.
3) delete whichever other carrier customization was already in that folder (such as alltell or sprint or bell etc..)
4) run "buldit.bat" or "buildnb.bat" (or something similar) and flash your new rom that will be located in the "ruu" folder after the batch file (xxx.bat) is finished!
feel free to ask any more questions if that wasnt too clear (sorry :S) .
good luck!

This is great! I will also post it over on PPCgeeks. Huge help for me to get started and hits right at the real bricking fear... if the radio is not in the user-made custom ROM it seems safe... and avoid OEM carrier ROM unless it is for your carrier.

You can't just "make" a ROM for a different carrier. The phone itself won't work because it's registered for one comapny.
Great Thread!
Good to see there are some thorough instructions out there for noobs... Howabout an unlocker for Vista 64??? Any advice? Thanks.

how to get back to tmobile original settings and software?

Hi,
A few weeks ago I flashed my rom and now Im trying to get back to the original tmobile settings/software so that I can sell my phone. I have no idea how to do this. If someone could give me step by step instructions, that would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you =)
there is a thread here with links to the original roms including the t-mobile rom...shouldn't be hard to find. Just flash and boom, phone is like it was when you bought it.
Browse into my sig and look in smart phone\roms and find T-mobile something .6
download and use a romupdate.exe to install

Quick How-To for gps/rev a flash/upgrade

ok well i just made up this list a while ago to help someone out, and have ended up giving it to quite a few ppl now, so i figured i might as well post it here under an appropriate title for all to easily see and access.
i know dharvey wrote a great tutorial, and that there are prob others, but..what the heck. plus this is pretty quick and easy, though i cant say that it is as full and thought out and great as dharvey4651's (thx man!)...
IMPORTANT!!! ONLY SPRINT users follow below steps 5 and 8-11!! Altell users can follow all the steps except step 5 as long as they use a different ppst.exe, not the one mentioned below.
"#1- Backup all pim info and anything else you might want.
#2- Ensure you are currently running your carriers original official oem rom (os and radio) (if you have never flashed it at all then dont worry youre good to go).
#3- Unlock using imcokemans 2.31 unlocker (this for gps roms)
#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")
#5- SPRINT ONLY:allow all customizations to complete and run (i know - it takes a lil while)
#6- flash to desired rom.
#7- after she's all booted up, hard-reset.
#8- download and run cab from here (altell users run your own ppst stuff on the same post, non-sprint and non-altell users SKIP TO STEP 12): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=282955&postcount=139
#9- allow soft-rest.
#10- navigate to \windows folder and run ppst.exe
#11- allow soft reset.
#12- allow boot-up, customize, restore pim info etc...

didnt use unlocker
I just ran the leaked ROM upgrade. It found my phone and flashed it. I never ran any of the SPL unlockers. Should I be worried about not being able to unlock later, or have trouble flashing an 'Official' release?

hey nope you'll be just fine, assuming that you arent going to flash to a custom rom. what is your current spl? you just will not be able to flash a custom rom until you unlock.

Hi All. I just recieved my touch last week and like the phone alot. I have flshed my old phone ( old I-mate PDA) a few times with files from here and it worked great.
But with the Touch you guys are talking about different kinds of touch phones. Where do I check what kind do I have. I am from South Africa and use MTN as my SP.
Will I be able to use the GPS ( Seen it in other threads)
Thank you for your help

im....not really sure. being on a different continent i dont think it would work the same, unless you were able to find a separate radio only rom for your carrier, in which case you could flash whatever rom you wanted (w/o letting the cusomizations run on first boot), then flash your carriers os only rom, then be good to go!

new PPST direct link
This post should be a sticky!!!!
This works perfectly except for the fact that the link to ppcgeeks on #8 is busted. What is missing from that link is the file for ppst.exe. I beat my brains in trying to get the stupid gps to work before I finally realized what was missing from my install.
Here is the PPST file from sprint that you do in fact need to make the gps work great. I lock onto the gps sats in about 15 seconds, in my house, to about 9 of em.

flashing cmda phone different from gsm?
Hi All,
I just got my new sprint vogue to replace my t-mobile wizard. I flashed my wizard extensively over the past 2 years but I'm not sure about the Vogue. How does a cmda phone retain its network settings and network contact info if it is flashed when theres no sim card? I'm not talking about PIM info but the info the phone uses to identify itself and communicate with the network.
thanks
Lotus
This worked great. It was my first time flashing and following these instructions everything worked out well and I get locked into satellites with the gps very fast. Thank you.
i have a couple questions. 1st is i have a sprint touch flashed to cricket if i were to install this rom will all my cricket settings stay intact or will i have to reflash to cricket? 2nd does this rom include WM6.1 along with gps, and rev. A?
thanks for any help.

i must say that im not exactly sure how. but i can say that...it just does. if you flash a different radio rom...then you can be in trouble if it is not for your carrier. but we are discussing os only roms here and the network settings are therefore not really affected
and ps for you too, dont allow any files named "ppst.exe" to be run, unless you are sure they are for your carrier

ok so..no specific rom is being discussed here. this is just a how-to for what/e rom you want.
and no you should not have to re-flash to cricket as long as you only flash an os-only rom, a rom that does not have a radio included, and you never allow any files named "ppst.exe" to be executed.
but most all the roms that you can flash using these instructions do have 6.1 with gps and rev a yes

Pulling a ROM from Hero

Hi
I have rooted my Hero and have a custom ROM installed but the GPS does not work and I use it all the time.
I have looked around the web and these forums on pulling the original ROM from the device but it is all to confusing. My wife has a Hero from the same carrier as I use. Is it possible to pull the original ROM off her phone and then I could flash it to mine and get back to original.
Sorry if this is a re-post.
Ta,
Ross

Yes I have tried all the RUU ROMs and they will not load on the phone.
You could visit HTC.com and download the original rom from there, it will work (but then, so should the roms the previous poster linked to).
Perhaps you can share with us, why flashing is not working.

Got a FTP site from the local agent, does not work they say there is a problem.
If I use the web site, it does not accept mine or my wife's serial number.
A friend just found a serial that works and it actually downloads - RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver witch is available in the Sticky.
Decided to try it again in case there was a download error. Same problem:
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Sorry about the wrong forum. Maybe a mod can move the thread.
Are you saying flash the radio to fix the GPS issue or so that I can flash back to the old original HTC ROM?
You could try installing a standard build from here:

Just wipe and install as usual from the recovery screen.
Some of them are even rooted, or you could root yourself after. That way you will have everything working and stable (including GPS) and also have the advantage of having root as well. Just a thought.
PS.I use HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 which I rooted myself (just seach xda for how to do this) and everything works perfectly.

Are you saying flash the radio to fix the GPS issue or so that I can flash back to the old original HTC ROM?

what i am saying is:
i had this exact problem just yesterday: i could enable gps, but there was no icon in the statusbar, and position was not aquired by any app. no error in logcat. i tried to reflash mcr3.1 without wipe, nothing. wipe, then reflash, nothing. when i reflashed my radio it worked again, even after restoring my nandroid backup.
Can't you just get the official update in update.zip format and flash it from the recovery screen? That should work. Easy as that.
Or do a nandroid backup of your wife's phone and recover it on yours, though it probably doesn't work that simple because of serial keys inside the phone's hardware and stuff..

Perhaps you could explain why this OP is in the wrong forum ? If someone swaps to a custom rom, then needs help to recover in some way as a result, why should that not be asked here ? and if not here then where ?
Just asking
he has a problem and asks a question about it. comes to mind that the q&a (as in questions & answers) category might be the right, doesn't it?
since he is not developing anything, and that question is in no way related to develop anything it is for sure wrong in the development section. people tend to post here because they download the roms (which are obviously developed) from here, one more reason for a rom download subforum...

[Q] Does radio change with a new rom?

When you install a new rom, say going from stock to Jugg's, does your radio change too? Or is a completely seperate entity?
Thanks, yes I am a Noob!
No flashing a new ROM has nothing to do with the radio.
If you mean radio/modem I used Odin.
Being fairly new to rooting since Oct. I found it to be fairly easy.
I followed the instructions at the T-Mobile T-989 forums on RootzWiki about modems and basebands.
Being that I'm under 8 posts it won't let me paste a link, so your'll have to google it if you want to check it out.
Cool, I was fairy sure it was two seperate portions. I was going to flash a new one last night. But it seems it is the one that I already have. No biggie.
Thanks again.
