However, to install andiod, it said I needed the 3.37.xx or better radio. My phone had a really old version 1.x something. I went to http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-bell/downloads/ and download and tried to install which would have givin me 3.42 radio.

The install started fine, however got a Command Error (at 11%) and Communication Error (31%). I tried the recover procedure several times but always dies at 11 or 31 percent.

Now my phone is always stuck at the bootloader (0.41 coke).

Anyone have any idea how I can recover?

Flash Back to your bell Stock.
Run the Unlocker 2.31 Version.
Then Flash to a custom WM ROM, just to make sure everything is working correctly.
Then you should be good to flash to andiod.

Happy Flashing!

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick response.

I then tried running bootloader and installing Android directly from the androidinstall.tar file on the SD card. That also seemed to go nowhere, so I called it a day. But the next day, after powering on the phone and setting it aside for a few minutes, I returned to find it had booted into Android and everything on it was working.

I now want to flash back to Windows Mobile but am getting the 262 error again when using the RUU. When trying to flash directly from a Windows Mobile NBH file on the SD card, the bootloader screen goes immediately to "Initializing ...", but just hangs there forever.

The bootlader screen shows SPL-2.01.0000, which I assume means it's not unlocked, right? But if this Vogue is not unlocked, how was I able to install Android on it? Is there a way to get Windows Mobile back onto this phone, or is it now flashed to Android forever? I've tried running the Unlocker again, but it requires an Active Sync connection, which I can't establish with Android. Thanks for any suggestions.

Bump ...

Anybody have any idea how I was able to install Android 1.6 to NAND if this device was not unlocked ... and more importantly, if there is anyway I can flash back to a Windows Mobile ROM?

Have you tried Flashing back to stock?
You can do that from bootloader mode.

It almost Seems that you are stuck in the middle of the unlock process...
so Flashing back to stock might fix this issues. Then you will have to Run the unlocker again and follow the steps to a T!

Well, I did try running the RUU with the Sprint stock ROM (i.e. phone connected to PC via cable), but kept getting a 262 Update Error. I assumed it was because I can't establish an Active Sync connection with the PC, given that Android is installed to NAND on the phone.

Next I tried flashing from bootloader mode with the NBH from your 6.5 ROM on my microSD (and renamed to VOGUIMG.NBH). It went immediately from the bootloader screen to the screen with "Initializing ..." where it just hangs indefinitely without further action. (BTW, thanks for the great ROM. I have it running on another Sprint Touch - which I did manage to unlock, after figuring out where I erred in trying to unlock this one.)

Two questions: First, the stock Sprint ROM is an EXE file, so where/how do I get a stock NBH file to put on the SD card? Second, I don't understand how I was able to install Android to NAND if this device is still locked. Is that even possible?

Thanks!

Wirelessly posted (HTC Diamond: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11) Sprint MP6950SP)

You should be able to flash the shipped exe rom regardless. Put your device in bootloader and it should say serial until you connect the usb and it will change and say usb and then flash the shipped rom. If that does not work then I suggest you try a different pc to flash with preferably a 32bit system. You may have a bad cable as well.

When you put your device in bootloader, what does it say on the screen. You can tell if you are unlocked by the spl. If it says 2.31 or .41 then it is unlocked.

You can also flash the shipped rom from storage by placing the shipped exe file in the root directory of a 2MB or less fat32 formatted sd card and renaming the exe to VOGUIMG.NBH and flash from bootloader regardless if you are unlocked or not.

Thanks, that was almost the last piece of info I needed. However it won't work if you just rename the shipped exe file, or at least it wouldn't for me. The bootloader can't process the file. It changes to "Loading...", but just reverts to the bootloader screen after a few seconds.

One more step is needed. Here's what worked (thanks to Google, and instructions posted on SprintUsers by PDX77). Open the Sprint shipped exe file in WinRAR. Extract the file \2.nbh to the storage card and rename it VOGUIMG.NBH. Reinsert the card, enter bootloader, and you're flashing back to stock ... even if the device is still locked, as mine was.

Thanks to both of you for helping me out of the maze! I really like running Android on the Vogue - Google Navigation alone makes it worth the effort. But I decided to run it from SD so I can get reliable Internet Sharing in Windows (there were problems in Android with both PDANet and EasyTether) and a decent camera (it sucks in Android, anybody know of a fix?).

I am trying to unlock my htc touch. First i get "cannot load VDM IPX/SPX support". Then when running RUU, it goes from 0 to 100% in seconds and the ROM does not get installed. Anybody can help?

Thanks

When I run the unlocker everything goes well until the RUU starts. This is when my USB connection is lost and therefore the whole process stop.

So right now my touch has the spl 2.01.0000 but not the full coke 2.31.

I tried to run the RUU stand alone buy my usb ports losses the connection.
Tried in a windows vista and a in a win xp virtual machine with the same problems.

Even when I tried to put the touch in boot-load mode and I plugging the usb cable the message 'Serial' changes to 'USB' but still cant run the RUU.. Communication errors.
Please help
