Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 
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.

Ooops, not sure why I was thinking telus when you clearly said Telecom NZ I don't think they actually did release a rom, that's not good news. The only thing i can think of as to why this happened is that you ran the custom rom install before the device was truly unlocked (from the Soft bootloader). That means you still have your stock SPL and with that SPL there isn't much you can do without a shipped rom from your carrier

I had the exact problem, i have a 2 gig micro sd card... and wondering why i kept getting that message... my card was formatted in fat32... i had to do a quick format again on it and lost all my data but it works on it now...

i used a micro sd in a micro sd to SD adapter and then plugged it into my sd reader.

- I did this... In fact I took out my memory card and reformatted through vista to Fat32. Then loaded the file onto my memory card & nothing...

What am I doing wrong??? ANy ideas?

Im concerned it may have something to do with my previous unlocker == it still reads vogu100 SPL 2.01.1000
CPLD-3.

I will retry the steps but if anyne could help I would appreciate it?? I am getting a bit nervous here.... In fact very nervous.

Is there a hard reset involved. Do I reconnect my phone to the pc??

Thanks in advance!
i am at this stage now... still says 2.01... doesnt seem to load new rom... it says loading... but no percentage... its been like that on my signed verizon rom for about 8 hours now. (slept and left it over night.)

When I put it into bootloader, it says loading for about half a second and then goes back to the rainbow screen, whcih says:

VOGU100
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3

2) Using the mtty program, I did the following:

set 16 0
boot

It freezes on the "loading image" part of the boot command, and then the Touch becomes frozen on the HTC welcome screen.

Anyone else have any ideas of what I could do to fix this?

i have this exact same issue.... tried... everything... probably spent 50 hours plus reading and trying everything

There was no shipped verizon rom so that won't work. People have had success for verizon by jsut using the exitbl steps and booting back into the original OS. See the Stuck in Titan Bootloader thread for info on how to get out (same steps for vogue)

i gotta find a rom that works with this spl 2.01

anyone know of a rom that works with spl 2.01?

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 
You need to flash the unlocker completely first. once you get to OS you can do that and your SPL should then show 2.31. From there you can flash the radio and any custom rom desired.

I am having a little trouble here. I understand all this however, I have downloaded 2 different Alltel official roms. Nither of them haave a ruu_signed.nbh. They do have Special_4350_For_Alltel.nbh and VOGUIMG.nbh. Is it one of these??

Edit by ImCoKeMaN: If you are stuck in bootloader (3 color screen) use titanexitbl or mtty (set 16 0 then task 8) first and try these steps only if that doesn't work.

Apparently you can not use SDHC cards with this method, please use the 512mb card that came with your phone.


I have successfully unbricked my phone due to updating the Alltel rom to a non Alltel Vogue, before IMCokeman had released his unlocker an also have downgraded to the previous SPL version. I will shortly update this post with the How to instructions. I just need to retrace my steps.

I would first like to thank IMCokeMan for his help and unlocker.

I currently have a Sprint Vogue but I assume this will work for all versions

For those that had loaded the Alltel rom without the unlocker and have bricked there phone try this procedure to unbrick your phone.

1. First download IMCokeMaN's 2.31 Unlocker. http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Extract IMCokeMan's unlocker

Previous SPL version was 2.31 current SPL version is 0.36

Edit by ImCoKeMaN:
Note: Steps 3, 4 and 5 should not be necessary, but step 6 is critical that it is a signed rom from your carrier

3. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called VOGUIMAG2.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh

4. Copy the file to a fat32 memory card, and insert it back into your phone, and place it into bootloader mode.

5. The phone should display Loading... let it sit there for a minute or so. It will not go past this screen, now reboot the phone.

6. Extract your official rom (Must be a signed EXE from your carrier, check here)

7. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh

8. Copy the file to your memory card (less than 2gb and formated fat32) and insert it back into the phone and place it back into bootloader mode, and install the your Carrier's Official ROM.



I have attached the VOGUIMG.nbh file for those that are having problems.
I have followed all instructions for this, at the bootloader screen I get the "loading no image file" briefly, then back to tricolor. I was attempting a cooked rom and used the wrong unlocker.. This is what my bootloader reads VOGU100 / SPL-0.36.000 / CPLD-3.. any help would be appreciated! I have an XV6900 vzw..

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 
Hi Everyone,

I'm a bit googly eyed from reading through previous posts and a tad confused. I currently have a Telus HTC Touch Vogue that I've recently run their released rom patch to upgrade to windows mobile 6.1 (plus the gps feature etc.). I'm really not happy with 6.1 as none of my voip apps function properly (skype, fring etc. - mic doesn't work) plus a few other annoyances.

I never use the gps and I would really like to get the phone back to windows 6.0. I'm assuming from the previous posts that I would infact have to flash the phone back using a signed rom. ImCoKeMaN has one in his FTP (thanks for that) that seems to be the original rom (WM6.0).

My real question is... is this as simple as copying the nbh file to the sd flash mem card and doing the reset as mentioned? or is it more involved?

All I want to do is go back to WM 6.0.

I appreciate all your help,
Thanks

Okay now I am ****ed, I was inquiring about how to load over at a cooked rom onto my HTC Touch, and a guy xda was trying his best to help me and told me to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835 so I went there and followed the steps, I thought I was doing the right thing come to find out it was completely the wrong thing. so I kept getting stuck at the Smart mobility screen and I kept reseting it hoping it would fix it. Well it didn't and now my phone wont even turn on I did get it to turn on ONCE and when I did I put the first small file on it, then it did the loading thing and did a soft reset, I went and put the second sprint rom on the card and now my phone will not turn on at all...I think I am ****ed could someone please help me if there is a way to fix this?

I have probably tha dumbest question in tha world but I am a newbie at this whole hackin gig and I loaded Alltell Rom on my cricket flashed mogul..... It loaded all tha way to 100 % and the phone was supposed to restart but it did not although it did turn off.. I think that I have officially messed up my phone since none of tha lights work on it and when it connects to my computer it shows up as a modem.
Am I accurate in saying that I totally jacked up my precsious Mogul!????????
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have the exact same problem on a Verizon branded XV6800. I believe that the bootloader has become corrupt. Windows device manager shows a HTC Modem ad a HTC Diagnostic Interface com port. I think you could use mtty to talk to the Diagnostic interface, but I have no idea how to install a new bootloader. Can anyone shed some light on how ti unbrick these phones? Please...

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.

Verizon Users Xp Is The Key
 
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.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 
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

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 
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.

Re: Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
 
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?
