Hi All
I'm trying to upgrade my alltel Touch (Vogue, 6900, yadda, yadda, and so forth) & I'm Frustrated.
I have tried about 3 times now with same results, So I'm looking to you for help.
I previously loaded Alltel's ROM update (WM6.1 / LBS Update – Version 3.10.671.1) - that went fine
now I'm trying to install imcokeman's 2.31 unlocker - this is where my problems have begun...
as far as I understand the Alltel ROM has made my phone GPS enabled... although I have not tested it yet, so hopefully I'm trying the right one here.
in the About section my phone reads WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.19208
Device Information reads
ROM version 3.1.671.1
Radio version 3.42.30
PRL Version 30008
PRI version 2.02_011
I am following a tutorial over at ppckitchen.org
You MUST be able to boot the device to Windows Mobile and be synced in order to run this unlocker. Follow the directions VERY closely: there are 2 diff parts to the unlocking process that MUST be done in proper order for it to work.
Check, check-we are good
When you run the Hard-SPL-MFG.exe, it will open a MSDOS window telling you to connect your device with ActiveSync before continuing. .. Then it will prompt you to press any key to continue. The DOS window will show “Initializing........†then “The next step will be to load a temporary SPL to ram with JumpSPL†and Press any key to continue…
When I fisrt run the "Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe", my destination folder comes up as "tmpvg23" I click install...
then the above...
This works, kind of... I do get an error right off the bat saying " cant load the VDM IPX/SPX support.." and “The next step will be to load a temporary SPL to ram with JumpSPL†and Press any key to continue…
Check, check-we are good
Press any key and it will put your device in bootloader mode (tri-color screen). The DOS window will show “
You must now disconnect and reconnect the device from your PC. Do not make any other changes at this time, but don't skip this part.â€
You MUST disconnect the device from the USB cable and reconnect again. Then you will Press any key to continue again.
Press any key..Check, ...“You must now disconnect and reconnect the device from your PC. Do not make any other changes at this time, but don't skip this part.†You MUST disconnect the device from the USB cable and reconnect again." Check, check...AND...
Now I'm basically stuck in spl-2.00.coke and cannot get my activesync to re-connect
Screen displays VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.00.Coke
CPLD-3
Before I can disconnect my usb I can hear activesync disconnect sound, then I disconnect and reconnect (shows serial, and I hear usb disconnect) and reconnect (shows usb, and I hear usb connect) ((I also have verified this with USBDeview, that its connected and disconnected))...
but no activesync !?!??...
Then...
At that time the Rom Update Utility (RUU) will open. You must check the box “I understand the caution above and have reviewed the Readme†then click Next. You will then check the box that says “I have completed the steps indicated above†and click Next again. There will be a status window for a short period of time, followed by another window prompting you to Update your device. Click the Update button in that window, then click Next 2 times. This will begin the update process.
I can try to go through this process by checking the two boxes, but the activesync is not established,...so therefor it fails...
what am I missing???
