Vogue GPS 3.02 Kitchen (w/ NEW Sprint Leaked ROM)

[marcus_cruz]

This ROM Rocks. I installed numerous kitchens on the 3.35 radio and they all didnt suit my needs plus you have to install the app you are trying to install in order to uninstall it. LoL ! Plus this has the ver y cool opera browser. Additionally youtube.com works right out of the box with windows media player without any hacks or mods. Big plus in my book. GPS wasnt working so I copied the virser_gps.dll and did the ppst.exe thing, rebooted and then it got a gps lock in 5 seconds and had me about 10 meters off my actual point. This is a lot better than all the other ROMS i have tried which had me across the street etc, well travelling at 65 on a highway and not having your gps keep up with exits can be frustrating.. I wish there was a way to create a cab file from the Kitchen builder from ppcgeeks for the items I do want.. I guess I'll have to search for them. I didnt even have to set my clock. Only had to change the time zone. Now I'll install the VistaCube 2.0, HTC Home Customizer. The FULL qwerty keyboard comes with this ROM, however it is skinned differently than the very slick diamond one.. Finally the Sprint Touch is as likeable as my Mogul !

Let me write up my experience:

I got a problem while following it.

When I see this:
"Your device should now be in 3 color screen showing the Soft bootloader
You must now disconnect and reconnect the device from your PC
"

I did disconnect and reconnect, but ActiveSync doesn't show connected.
What could be wrong here?

Then Rom Upgrade Utility is launched, and I cannot see the current version number. Blindly flash it and it only takes less than 1 minutes to reach 100%. After hard reboot, it's still the factory ROM.


I must hit every problem on this forum....

I followed the steps twice, (or maybe three times) and still see 2.00.

Now after Power-Camera-Soft Reset, I see 2.31Coke and it stays on the color strips screen. Soft reset again, it boots into Windows Mobile but the screen becomes black, and cannot be turned on.

So many details are missing in the instruction.... Sorry to say...
and I'll try flash the test ROM directly... Hope it works.

All right, I loaded the test ROM

3.02.651.2_Radio_435011_3.37.15_AM_NV_SPCS_1.33_08 23

But I don't see additional radio or GPS.....

So my SprintPCS Touch is special....

It still shows SPL-2.31.Coke though.

What to do to enable GPS?

alright ok wow, ok so here we go:

#1 - its normal for active sync to not recognize it after you reconnect it, active sync will never recognize the device while in b/l.
#2 - its normal for the ROMUpdateUtility (RUU) to not show the current image number.
#3 - its normal for the unlocker to work very quickly, the unlocker also does not install any special rom.
#4 - what counts is that when you do the camera-power reset, you see Coke 2.31.
#5 - for gps, simply flash the new sprint leaked rom (this will give you the new radio), then flash whichever rom you would like. after that, run the ppst cab posted by boggsie, found in page 14 of the "sprint gps still not working" (or what/e) sticky. after that, run "ppst.exe" found in the windows folder on your device.

then you're good to go!

it is strange that winmo wont really boot up but...not sure what to tell you there. just do what i said and you should be fine.

also...here is a list i have posted a few times in different places trying to help ppl out, thought i might as well throw it out there...

"GPS/REV A STUFF:
Quick How-To for gps/rev a flash/upgrade
IMPORTANT!!! ONLY SPRINT users follow below steps 5 and 8-11!! Altell users can follow all the steps except step 5 as long as they use a different ppst.exe, not the one mentioned below.

ok well i just made up this list a while ago to help someone out, and have ended up giving it to quite a few ppl now, so i figured i might as well post it here under an appropriate title for all to easily see and access.

i know dharvey wrote a great tutorial, and that there are prob others, but..what the heck. plus this is pretty quick and easy, though i cant say that it is as full and thought out and great as dharvey4651's (thx man!)...

"#1- Backup all pim info and anything else you might want (yes flashing will erase/wipe out E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!)
#2- Ensure you are currently running your carriers original official oem rom (os and radio) (if you have never flashed it at all then dont worry youre good to go).
#3- Unlock using imcokemans 2.31 unlocker (this for gps roms)
#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")
#5- SPRINT ONLY: allow all customizations to complete and run (i know - it takes a lil while)
#6- flash to desired rom.
#7- after she's all booted up, hard-reset.
#8- download and run cab from here (altell users run your own ppst stuff, non-sprint and non-altell users SKIP TO STEP 12): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=139
#9- allow soft-rest.
#10- navigate to \windows folder and run ppst.exe
#11- allow soft reset.
#12- allow boot-up, customize, restore pim info etc...

credit to boggsie and so many others..."

Sorry for a totally noob question. I'm in search of the Sprint 3.37.15 Radio ROM.. Is the file in the link I've just quoted above the correct one? If not, could somebody please point me to the correct thread/link where I can access the 3.37.15 version of the Sprint Radio ROM.
Thanks.

Well, in order to know if it works better, we'd have to know what kinds of problems (specifically) you were experiencing with BT.

In my case, my primary concern is the volume of announcements and confirmations. Announcements work and so do confirmations (and my confirmation replies are understood) but the volume of confirmations and announcements is barely audible. Once a call is established, I can hear the caller clearly and the caller is generally able to hear me clearly. It is only the announcement and confirmation volume (of Michelle) that is problematic for me.

This is with my touch, Radio 3.37.15 (Sprint leak) and MSVC 1.6.19213 as built from the Touch 3.02 (GPS) PPCKitchen.

Hi there,

I built my ROM (just the leaked ROM with GPS apps and a few more input methods) and got an error when run PPST.exe: backup efs failed. Then I didn't see the message saying NVItem (spelling?) updated.

what does this mean? I don't know if my GPS functionality is affected.

With the leaked ROM and OMJ ROM (with a PPST installed from a cab) it was alright.

Now I installed that PPST cab again and it runs well.
What option could cause this?

Thanks,

[TouchUser]

Another issue I found with Sprint Touch is that the IM button on the TrueFlo UI doesn't work. What could be missing? I didn't see MSN Messenger or Yahoo!Messenger in the kitchen config list. Where can I install separately?

TIA.

Cannot get a gps lock. Im using a sprint touch converted to vzw. The sprint PRI (1.33_003) is still on there as I don't have a vzw one for it. Everything else is fully working data, voice, shows rev A at the network switch. I installed patched quick gps also. Using google maps or gps viewer it sits there searching for satellites and I have sat outdoors for 30 min with no fix. I have done the reg edit to mode 4 also but it seems to never get an agps either and yes location is on and I have power cycled the radio as well. A spare mogul I converted to vzw (still has sprint pri too) will gps and agps lock within 2 minutes in the same location but the touch will not.
