Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

[ImCoKeMaN]

the P3450 is an elf, not a vogue. Do not flash ANY of these, go to xda-developers and check their elf section. Also, read that carefully as the elf and elfin are similar, but loading the wrong rom will cause a brick.

I tired the method that CoKo provided, but the phone can not boot into OS.

You sure the Sprint rom you loaded was the shipped one? It should have version numbers and a long EXE name if so. Also, did it say it was flashing the radio when you ran it? If not you might have just flashed the dumped sprint rom that i posted. At this point though you need the signed one.

PS: thanks to bigbilal04 i was able to look at the 2.01 bootloader/"no radio" situation tonight. Still not seeing much for telus/vzw users yet though.

how long should it take in the second loading stage?

ok guys i need help,

this is what i did .. all from the rev a tutorial

stock sprint
imcoke unlocker 2.31
alltel upgrade

all was fine at that point . but... then ...

i attempted to upgrade to the titan radio and couldnt download it .. becasue link was dead.

i then saw that there was a sprint radio 3.37.15 so i tried to upgrade it and for some reason the upgrade didint work .. so i thought that if i started from the begining i could maybe skip the alltel and go straight to the sprint 3.37.15 radio, i started looking at the downgrading forun, it said to go back to imcoke unlocker 40 and then install the defailt sprint rom. so i tred that and when it booted it got stuck at the htc screen. more reading..

i then tried to go back to the 2.31 .. no go ... then i tried to go back to the alltel rom and then got stuck in the rgb screen with some weird radio , didint say 2.31 or .40 it was like 2.001 or somthing ... more reading ...

used mttty and did the format thing to it and now im stuck back at the htc screen again .

spl on the rgb screen is vogu100 > spl- 2.01.0000 > cpld-3
when i boot its showing a the following :
mo3 p dcaaxam-4350
h31b90a106 r 3.37.10
d 1.12

i know i should be bad fun of , im a dumb a** but i need step by step help

ive read through this board but im confused how to get back to normal

also if i take this to the sprint service will they be able to get this back to normal even if they charge me i dont care ... like can they reformat this or somthing ?

this sucks...now I just wasted 2 512MB micro sd cards...they are now corrupted...when you reformat the card to FAT32 to be able to load the ROMs this eventually caused the card to corrupt...now I can't even re-format it anymore..

do we REALLY need to format to FAT32? doesn't the HTC touch use FAT formatted cards?

maybe thats the reason the ROM update failed because it couldn't read the card anymore??!?!?!

you have to format the cards in an SD reader, it does have to be fat32 and that won't corrupt a card by itself.

To anyone still stuck in 2.01 MFG bootloader after the alltel flash please see my thread for gathering info:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26196

MTTY knowledge needed first, but you can search for that info or ask in other threads

Does anyone have a link to a working sprint stock rom? Both of the ones linked on this site are corrupt when they are executed.

Thanks.
