Red49er,

Any luck gettting it going, Hboy was in the same situation as you and he just got his working?

No, I got a PM from Cokeman, so I'm gonna try that now, but I have my doubts. I'm very interested in how Stealth got his to flash without using an SD card tho.

STEALTH!!! PM me if you see this

When i put the large 92 mb voguimg.nbh file on the card it still says loading no image file.

Please let me know what you did. Thank you!!!

Edit - My Sprint Vogue has cokemans unlocker on it and says the following on the 4 color screen:

VOGU100
SPL-0.40.CoKe
CPLD-3

I cannot connect it to active sync to flash it. Im pretty sure where I screwed up was I thought I has unlocked my phone using his new 2.31 unlocker and then tried to flash my phone with JD's GPS rom. On reboot it just freezes on the HTC screen. Any ideas anyone? Thank you.

kariya,

What type or size memory card are you using? SDHC cards will not work, try using the 512mb card that came with the phone.

I am using the 512 mb card that came with the phone

[Red49er]

Kariya, did you follow the instructions in the first post?

Did you check to see if the card is formated to fat32?

[kariya]

Yes I followed the instructions in the 1st post and my 512 mb card is formatted to FAT 32.

[Red49er]

Are you able to do either of the flashes? Not even the first one? (Out of the unlocker?)

Kariya,

Correct me if I am wrong. You currently have IMCokeMan's 0.40 unlocker? If so put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it to your pc using the usb cable. Then run the Original Sprint Rom, it should flash correctly.

OK... I am an idiot.... But I will post my idiocy lest it help someone else...

Ok, ready for this noob move? When I reformatted my 512mb card i reformatted it to FAT and not to FAT32. Once I reformatted it to FAT32 I got the Loading... checking screen with the small .nbh file and am right now going through the "Update in Progress" screen with the 94mb .nbh file. So it looks like it is getting fixed.

Thank you all for your help. I am going to go bang my head into the wall for being stoopid. ARgh so frustrating...

Ok it just rebooted and it looks like we are back to stock... whew...
