I Made a Retarded Mistake. Please Bail Me Out...

[varunb007]

Hi, I decided to upgrade my Sprint Vogue and everything went great. I had it in 6.1 with the GPS working. Then for some stupid reason, I decided to use my Sprite backup from my old setup to try and get all my programs and customizations setup. When I clicked restore, I checked off "Rom" and "Update databases" because some person said to do that in one of the upgrade threads. Now when I startup my phone, I get to the Windows 6.1 splash screen, then the top bar from windows comes up but it stops there. I cannot get an activesync connection. I tried doing a hard reset (green button+red button+reset) but didn't work. What can I do? Is my phone bricked? I'm so bummed out right now

Update: I hard reseted again with the usb cable out and this time the bar came up and i saw the activesync icon and a white square icon (similar to new window opening). this was because i had wktask installed, which is like a task bar for windows mobile. it gets stuck there though

Update 2: OMG, I'm super n00b. It turns out I wasn't doing the hard reset properly. Once I did it properly, it went back to the way it was when I first loaded the ROM. I guess I'll reload everything from scratch. GOD, that was scary!

PS: Please feel free to flame/ridicule me. I deserve it.

Copy jd's rom to your memory card, and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh. Soft rest your phone than place it into bootloader mode. It will the displaying loading, and then begin reflashing your phone back. This should get you going again.

Thanks for the quick reply mardukeme! Fortunately, I figured out that I was an idiot (see my update in first post).

you might have to clear all the memory card contents; last time i tried this method, i had to format first and then copy the nbh file before it worked. good luck! and i'd take the "long road" next time, e.g., install your apps from scratch. that way you'll worry less. cheers!
