If your phone still works Just make sure you have a FAT32 formatted mem card and the official bell rom renamed insert mem card and load into bootloader mode. I have just done this on a bell vogue works lik a charm

to get into bootloader mode hold down the power and camera button and soft reset with the stylus

hope this helps

ps just to clarify I too had install a gps enabled rom and was able to do this

Your phone is not actually unlocked, somewhere along the lines a step got missed or failed. You need to use the official TNZ rom now. it's been released by htc so just go to HTC's website and load it from there. The dumped one won't work if the bootloader says 0.36.

Good news there is hope - Bad news I cannot find the Official ROM on the HTC site. Appreciate your help here.

... no the TELUS install starts but then fails with an invalid Vendor ID. I'll try it on the flash card just in case. I guess TELUS is different from Telecom NZ

Can anyone tell me how I get rid of Coke 2.31 and lock my rom so that it looks factory again? I want it to look like the day I bought it so I can send back to Bell for a replacement. I have searched the site and I am unable to find the link to remove the coke as that keeps coming up when I hit my power button and camera button at the same time. Sorry if this has already been asked.

IMCokeman - Please help!

I just received my new sprint touch and went to upgrade to the official rom. It got stuck in bootloader mode and would not come out. It failed on my computer to load properly.

I thought all was lost but read the Unbricking thread and so I followed that. I had never used the coke unlocker to this point. I did what it said and downloaded and renamed the voguimg.nbh so it would say loading...

then I downloaded the official rom and extracted. Renamed and put on sd - said loading then checking - went thru some stuff with check marks but stopped on cdma - then said error installing can't update rom????

Please help me!

Update...I reformatted my 512 card and then recopied all to it. That did the trick - for some reason it didn't like the fact that I copied stuff on it then deleted. Thanks to all who help us out! Your awesome.

I'm looking for a similar solution. How do I back out from the Coke unlocker? Thanks!
