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.

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

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

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

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

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.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

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...

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

im in the same boat he was, just my stock card is flashed to fat32 and i get the half second gray loading screen that says image not found, i first tried the small nbh file, then the stock sprint, still just flashes the gray screen for a split second and says image not found, then it goes back to the rainbow screen... Rainbow screen says SPL-20.1.1000 CPLD-3, please help. This all happened after i tried to update to the alltell rom, i have a sprint touch. it made it 13% into rom flash and then reset to rainbow screen.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

According to Cokeman, try using vogudiag.nbh instead of renaming it to voguimag.nbh

I am using the 512 card that came with the phone, formated to fat32 by win xp, this is driving me nutts lol

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

Did you get a "not allowed" error when you name the nbh "vogudiag.nbh"?

jon6535

04-26-2008 02:35 AM

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

I just tried naming the files vogudiag.nbh, still does the exact same thing, just flashes the gray screen. I am pretty positive i am doing everything right to the t, i have lots of experience with flashing, but i cant get this to go

jon6535

04-26-2008 02:36 AM

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

no, same thing, just a quick flash of the gray screen saying image not found

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

And this is the only file on your card, right?

jon6535

04-26-2008 02:54 AM

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

ya, only file, i formatted it fresh everytime to fat32, then copied the file over to it, using the multiple file names you guys provided, im really stumped

Red49er

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

Well, the only thing left to do is try the mtty app and use the commands
cmd> set 16 0
cmd> task 8

Hoby was pretty stuck, and that worked for him. I'll try to upload the mtty.exe app and post the link if you can't find it.

jon6535

04-26-2008 03:05 AM

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

i found the app, but i think its a old one, if you could post the link and file link that would be great, thank you for all your help

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

I'm on my laptop now and I can't find the link for the one I used earlier, but the version doesn't matter much.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

the one i have connects via comm port 4, i can paste in the app, but the keyboard seems to be disabled when i try to type in the program, it doesnt freeze or anything, but no letters or numbers or enter key work, its wierd, unless i just dont know how to use the program

Red49er

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

You have to disable usb connections in activesync first, and then plug in your phone and run the app, it should let you choose usb. If usb doesn't showup, unplug and replug. (I got this info from a tutorial for another phone, but I didn't find it when I searched for mtty)

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

When I try the SD chip portion it reboots back to the bootloader after about a minute, but still says it is VOGU100 MFG SPL-2.01.1000 CPLD-3. When the device boots it hangs in the bell logo and says no radio.

Any ideas folks?

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

Nope, that sounds like the same exact problem I'm having, except I'm on Sprint. Same thing as Sinority too.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

I get a 28002 not allow when I put in the original nbh file from sprint or any other ones I have tried so far

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

Here's what I did for the Sprint Touch.

1. I went to the RBG screen
2. Hooked up the USB
3. Ran the stock ROM update directly from my PC.
4. It auto reset. Took about 30 secs to get past the HTC screen.
5. Went to customizations and everything is working!

Thanks for the help guys.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL

Finally, it worked for me taking http://www.utstarcom.com/pcd/downloa...31398_Ship.exe

And renaming the nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH (all caps) onto a SD chip, then putting it in and letting it do it's magic.
