Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

Thanks - I see "allow USB connections" and that is unchecked but I don't see anything about ports or opening activesync when I connect (as I said, I am using Vista so it is WMDC). Am I missing something? :)

I am using version 1.16 and tried version 1.42. Those were the only versions I found at XDA developers.

EDIT:
I found 0.01 and selected USB but got "USB port can not open" :(

I don't have vista... I wish i did so i could help you more all i can tell you is how i get to the setting using xp.. If you have older machine you can use then that would be your best be untill someone with vista comes up with a solution for a bricked touch...

I go to icon in the system trey and right click it then a little menu pops up and at the bottom it says "connection settings" then from there you will have the options i mentioned earlier but like i said that's on xp...

I'm sorry i wish i could help you more!!!

If you do manage to find the setting or another machine.
After you do the mtty and everything run the unlocker. That seemed to really help so now it don't go back to the rainbow screen or freeze on a grey screen....

Thanks - i'll try this on my son's XP computer. :)

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

Woohoo!!! I am in!!!

Now what? LOL

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

HOLY **** IT WORKED!!!!!

I went back into bootloader mode after popping the card in with the unlocker on it and then after I soft reset the device, it went straight into WM! Now I will finish running the unlocker so it locks in 2.31, correct?

EDIT:
Okay! I ran the entire unlocker and am now not learning a damned thing from my mistakes and have flashed JD's rom. LOL! Thanks everybody! You were all a lot of help!

EDIT2:
My dumb luck again - when the phone tries to boot after installing the one based on JD's listed here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24979 the telus splash screen comes up and does not boot further. At the bottom of the screen it says "no radio". I am going to flash the telus rom and see if that fixes it.

Did my radio rom get lost in the shuffle??

EDIT3:
Reflashing with the Telus rom fixed it. This is most definitely a sign that I should not be trying to get GPS capability, isn't it?? LOL

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

It didn't fix it - the HTC screen at the very start says No Radio although the phone is somehow working... any suggestions? When my phone goes to sleep, it doesn't wake back up now. :(

When I got to Device Settings, my ESN is listed as all zeros but the Radio, Protocol, PRL and PRI versions are all blank.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

Im officially unbricked now. I got my radio and everything to show again!

All without a memory card on xp...

I will do a write up on it later.

Thank you coke and the other contributing members...

Now to finnish what i was trying to in the first place.. Fingers crossed!!

Hey shrink just because the radio isn't showing doesn't mean its not there..

after i did the unlocker i put the oem ship rom back on my touch and when it loaded up it showed the radio and everything...

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

Thanks hljerdee - it does appear to be working okay now after I flashed back to the .40 unlocker. I would feel a lot better if the radio showed, in addition to my ESN. However, internet appears to work as does the phone.

If I flash another rom (custom rom for example) will the radio come back? Thanks!

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

Hey man no problem i'm figuring this out as i go.. I wrote down all the steps so im going to put it up right now...

If you put the oem shipped rom back on and then you will be good to go...

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 

Unfortunately Telus doesn't have a shipped rom posted anywhere :(

The Telus store has ordered a replacement phone for me (I took it in when it was stuck on the bootloader) and I may just swap it when it arrives (unless I can find a 2.15 radio rom somewhere to flash which will hopefully cause it to reappear).
