Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

[bozbeast]

i have the same problems i started using cokemans unlocker 2.31
then i proceeded and downloaded omj"s manila clean (m2d)
i found out i was to upgrade the radio to 3.xx (i didnt)
i ran omj's RUU and restarted my phone
it starts showing the verizon wireless screen and bam its frozen...i was told that it could be loading...so i let it sit for about 5 hours...nothing
so im trying to unbrick this verizon vogue
i got to the signed RUU and placed into storage card and when it says loading it displays for about .2 seconds and "No Image File" is flashed on the loading screen.
what should i do next

Can anyone tell me how to get out of spl 0.36.0000 mode and into 2.31 mode? When I try 2.31 I get a "no connection" error or when I try .40 I get the same error.

Thanks so much. After nearly 8 hours of trying to scour the internet, I was able to flash this sprint rom you had mentioned over my existing one. It's good that I chanced upon a post about this unbricking thread. I've been trying so many times various roms

Made a mistake of installing coke 4.1 instead of 2.3 and all hell broke lose when I installed a gps rom on top of that.

I tried for 8+ hours trying to fix my phone it was stuck in bootloader mode in 2.01.1000. Everything I tried did not work until I decided to try on my old desktop. It worked the first try. I used mmty and put in "set 16 0 task 8". On Vista it wouldn't open from the USB port in mmty but it worked perfectly on XP. XP is the key for Verizon users I believe. No memory card needed just use mmty. Also once it booted back up the power button didn't work so it would stay in sleep mode. To fix this I put the .40 unlocker on my device. After I fixed that my phone couldn't be authenticated by the network so I just called Verizon and they fixed that. I hope this post helps someone I definitely could of used it about 8 hours ago but it's fixed non the less so I'm satisfied.

i tried exactly as it says in post 1. i "accidentally" flashed 0.41 unlocker after unlocking with 2.31 and having nfsfan 6.1 v1.12. it woulld load then hang and display a "no radio" ans stayed there. i tried many .nbh file combinations from the bootloader till it finally booted and loaded. the final .nbh file was from the Bigstorage_SprintTouchRom.exe.
everything seems to be working fine. now ill try to flash 2.31 and nfsfan 6.5v13.
thanks

After I try almost all of the method mentioned in this topic, my Sprint Vogue is still bricked
My SD card is 512mb, formated already.
Now the rainbow are displaying following information:
VOGU100
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3
The unblocker can't work on it, staying on "loading"
When I try the stock rom "Bigstorage_SprintTouchRom", it still show the "loading", can't go any further.
All the NBH files are named to Voguimg.nbh already.

My issue is that I can't program the phone over the air... and want to revert to older SPL (I have Cokeman's 2.31) 'cause I think that's my suspect... but I can't seem to find any OEM SPLs around! Anyone wanna help?!

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by reverting to an older spl!? If you are wanting to flash back to stock for warranty repair or return just use the .40 unlocker and then flash the stock rom for your carrier.

I am back to MR1 Verizon ROM (WM 6.1) but when I use the Valhalla GPSServer and aGPS, I can't seem to get a lock on GPS signal at all... so I thought maybe it's because of the SPL 2.31 that I can't do it...

Any ideas?
