Vogue Unlocker - no active sync

[MattOktaNZ]

I've got a stock wm6.0 vogue (from telecom NZ) it has the 0.36 on it.

I want to upgrade to the Alltel rom .. do I use 0.41 or 2.31?

When I run the vogue unlocker 2.31 it shows the rainbow screen CoKe 2.0 and see Disconnect and Reconnect now. I do that. And ActiveSync never connects again. I soft reset the phone and everything is normal again and active sync works. Run the the unlocker, rainbow screen, disconnect and no active sync again.

I've tried this from my laptop and from a PC that never had active sync installed before..

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Crap!!

I went ahead and successfully loaded the 2.31 loader but now the Power button won't wake up the phone anymore.

I haven't yet tried to flash any roms, just done the unlock.

Can I just downgrade back to the original 0.36 and forget this ever happened?

Its not advisable to do so. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26082

I'd try hard reseting now and see if that fixes it, or i'd go ahead and flash a ROM and see if it solves it.

However, I've downgraded without any problems, if you choose to still go ahead, you can run the 0.40 unlocker, then flash from there.

The 2.31 unlocker will always cause that problem with a stock rom, that is why you need to upgrade the OS and radio along with it to a GPS capable radio exe, then the custom of your choice.

I'm having this problem also. The rainbow screen says "USB", but my PC says activesync is disconnected. HELP!

I am having the same kind of problem trying to flash the Sprint Rev.A/GPS update. (I have already successfully applied the 2.31 unlock, as far as I can tell.) I must be stupid, but I don't see how the RomUpdateUtility program is supposed to be able to communicate with the Vogue in bootloader mode when it supposedly requires ActiveSync. I've tried on different computers, and every time I run the RUU exe and go through the steps, it just resets the Vogue to the RGB screen, simultaneously disconnecting and reconnecting the USB connection; ActiveSync never works after this because WM isn't running, and the RUU never gets past 0% and ends up timing out. What did I miss?


I'm wondering if it is possible to flash via micro-SD. I went into the folder containing the files unpacked from the distribution-EXE in "v3.02.rar", and it has not one, but two .NBH files. 1.nbh and 2.nbh. Plus the PPST and the rest. Does anyone know if it would be possible to flash via the SD card method, and what the proper procedure would be?

If you are still using the stock 6.0 rom and you upgraded to 2.31 coKe. The power botton will no longer wake your phone when it goes to sleep. Load .41 coKe and it will work just fine. You can not go back to .36 coKe.

Alright bruh check it out.

I understand exactly what you guys are saying because I thought the same thing at first but came to realize how to get through this.

What I did in order to reestablish the active sync connection was soft reset when the RUU commanded that I reestablish that active sync connection. by doing this, your connection will comeback after startup.

when this is complete, you need to power_camera reset (hold the power+camera buttons while inserting the stylus into the soft reset hole.

this should bring you back to the tri-colored screen.

from there you continue to the next step in the RUU.

ALSO, when you are flashing anything you need to put what ever file you are about to flash into the same folder that the RUU is in.

I also have a step guide on how to flash in this link below.


And here is the file for the RUU. once stored to a folder on your PC just open it and it will be inside.

If I helped in ANY WAY PLEASE hit THAT GREEN THANKS button for ME.

Thanks and good luck to you in advance.

Its a gotcha that should be mentioned in the upgrade instructions but isn't.

After you run the locker its says remove and reinsert the USB before continuing to when it loads the 2.31 unlocker. Activesync will never connect again on bootloader screen as you say. But if you contine on with RUU even though no active sync that it says you need it will still work and flashes 2.31 successfully.

Bit confused as to where your up to .. if you let the phone boot and look at boot loader screen does it say 2.31 coke?
