Hey fellas, I really need some help/instructions here. I know theres a thread on this , several , but I've posted for help and there so jumbled up now it's went unanswered. I want to put a Wm6.1 rom on my Alltel Vogue. The main feature I'm looking for is The new PIE (with the zoom feature) , and very few if any bugs in it. My problem is with the "imcokeman Vogue unlocker".... I've tried to run the one found on ppcgeeks.com, the one it says to use for gps roms, and the one for non gps, but have the same problem everytime. When I get to the step where it says to unplug , then replug the phone, when i replug, i cant get active sync to connect. Can someone please help. And also , please, please, point me towards a good rom to use. I would like to be able to choose a couple of things that goes on there, but Im not sure how to use a kitchen , where to find one of if thats what its even for. Im really new to this rom stuff. So please help guys. Hopefully I'm allowed a noob/idiot moment and get help instead of laughed at.... Thanks in Advance...
If I'm not mistaken, you can simply flash the new Altel update ... do a search it's there ... it's an approved vendor rom and I don't think you need an unlocker ... plus your warantee would still be intack
Fuzzy
custom
I can flash the Alltel Rom just fine, no problem. I'm wanting to install one of the custom 6.1 roms on here. Thats why I'm trying the unlocker. But still , its not workin.
hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it
i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone
Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..
is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...
Thanks a lot sir..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear

Dear community,
We have our Defy section which is totally awesome. Now it's time to begin the real work here.
I wanted to spend some time with the Defy Android development and wanted to know if we could gather information about the bootloader, kernel and the bootstrap recovery here.
I just want to know how Motorola tries to secure their phones and how we could work around the protection.
Every helpful post is welcome. Let's see if we can beat Motorola and make the Defy one of the best phones around (or is it already?...no doubt is awesome!)
Best regards,
DunkDream
This site should be of some use.
https://www.droid-developers.org/
lots of info about motorola devices and all about the boot processes, hardware ect. Hope this helps.
And see here. Custom recovery is on the way along with custom roms.
I didn't understand if for the defy there is still a bootloader problem to solve or if it's a question to find cookers who have time to make a defy custom rom...Anybody have some fresh news?
Trust me since Handler got his defy you will have a custom recovery and roms. He does good work, just be patient
He does seem confident about it I sure hope to get froyo on this rugged little beast

Yes, at least for C2DM capability!
I'll buy a beer to Handler when he suceeds!
anyone know where can i find a Tmo defy sbf?
It seems that Handler already started to work with the Motorola Defy.
Hope he realizes that the Defy is such a great phone.
I'm sure that he'll do it...he'll get us a receovery method and custom Roms.
AND he can be sure to get a donation if he succeeds. That's a point of honour.
Hope then good news from Handler...
Anyway this is my very firt android device I know few things about cooking in the android world I cooked some winmo roms and I don't know if there are similarities. Many of you have some experience in this field so I ask you an advice on where I could start to learn the structure of the android roms and the tools to use...

Just a few links i put together on my blog to help android newbies. Some of it may be a bit basic but it has got some useful stuff there.

Thanks I'll have a look at it I am a bit curious to learn more on Android...
I remember doing a TP (test point) helped to flash cracked bootloader on my older Motorola...
Can it apply to our Android device?

Hi,
i guess no one will do it!
Maybe there is no interesst in cooking own bootloader to kill closed booloader from moto.
Hacking the bootloader will also be easy for hackers (perferct hackers )
But no one do it.
it seems all people with the capacity to hack the bootloader aren't interested in doing it.
hi all well i have my nice shiny gal s2 and really pleased apart fromm all the orange crap bloatware that the lovely people at orange uk decided would make it better maybe they never heard of the saying dont fix what isnt broke lol

Read the debrand post its essential flash a stock rom from the stock rom thread
Rooting not required .
plus was looking for my kernal and cant find it antwhere bvkh2 is
Kernel is in the stock rom threads kernel is kernel not firmware .

Hi guys, I recently got One X which is a great upgrade from my old xperia mini and now I would like to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel and maybe a custom ROM eventually. My question is, is there something important I need to know before I start with that because I see people mentioning some CIDs MIDs and I don't know what haha so I want to check with you before I start with anything, cause on xperia's forum nobody mentioned that stuff and now I don't know how important is all that and I certanly don't want to brick my phone.
