A couple things. To whoever was looking for a stock Bell ROM for the Vogue, check out this post:

Or alternately, here are the download links for the official instructions .doc and the updater .exe (Windows XP only, Vista apparently not supported) respectively:

This looks to be the version I'm running currently, the most recent official Bell ROM afaik, which is version 1.17.666.1
Now, a quick question, and perhaps a stupid one, but I want to be sure. When I bought this phone and it was first turned on, the salesguy had to go through this whole rigamarole typing codes into the phone to activate it.. Programming the ESN or something. Whatever he was doing, I'm sure it was something critical to activating it. Now is flashing different ROMs going to mess any of that up, or will my phone just work normally?
Oh, and is there anything I should be concerned with flashing a Bell phone with a Sprint-based ROM? I know they're both CDMA phones so no problems there, but are there any settings that would need to be changed in order to use the internet, text messaging, and such? Different gateways or whatever? Or is this something else I just don't have to worry about?
Thanks a ton,
A grateful n00b. |
you shouldnt have to reprogram the esn or anything, ive never had any problems with that, nor heard of any...until now.
the other day i flashed my little bro's titan, and the next day all he could do was get on the internet--no texting/calling or anything like that. when he tried to call, all we got was "your account is not valid..." bla bla.
i worked on it and read around for about 2 hours ( ugh ) wondering if it was a problem with the radio only to find out that all i had to do was go into the
phone settings using ##778# and put his phone # in a few places.
now keep in mind, this was with a titan, and i was screwing around with different roms, bootloaders, AND radios so...it got a bit messy.
so my hard and fast answer would be...99% sure that you wouldnt run into problems with that, and 100% sure that we could get you going again if you did.
as for flashing a sprint rom to a bell vogue, i really dont think you would have any problems there as the only thing you are changing are the included apps and version of wm6.1 -- not the bootloader, or esn, or radio or anything.
