Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

Radios:
1.xx radios/non-GPS work with 0.40 SPL only
3.xx radios/GPS work with 2.31 only

Based on the above, I thnk I now understand why I have bricked my phone. I believe that I may have mistakenly loaded SPL 2.31 BEFORE upgrading my radio to 3.xx. I then flashed the new 3.05 ROM (w/ GPS). My device is now inoperable. It gets stuck at the HTC splash screen when I reboot OR, if I enter bootloader mode (take out battery, put battery back in, hold camera + power) I get the red/green/blue/white stripes and it reads "VOGU100 MFG, SPL-2.31.CoKe, CPLD-3".

I have tried the unbricking process and but every Sprint original signed ROM I download won't work (i.e., I get an RUU Error message telling me that the file is corrupted - this happens with every link I have tried). Any thoughts on how to unbrick? I appreciate all suggestions.
Ok this may apply to a few of you... (I did exactly the same thing)

If you have the old radio and you tried to upgrade to the new ROM and you unlocked with the 2.31, this may get you phone back in action:

Just make sure you did it like I did (you took your phone, which was bone stock and unlocked it with unlock 2.31 and then tried upgrading).

Do the Power + Camera + Soft

follow this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24925

start from step 4 because you already have the 2.31 SPL

Now I know some of you have had errors when you tried downloading the ROMS here... It seems there may be something wrong with the ftp so use a program such as FileZilla (its free) and navigate to it manually. (I dont think you need to download anything other than from the thread above)

After you get it going... Do the Power + Camera +Soft and load OMJ software or other.

That is what has worked for me when I was stuck in the same situation.

Best regards and good luck,
