If you DO NOT have an extended rom partition, then use d2s to dump your rom. Dogguy's kitchen maker can take it from there, in most cases.

How do you unhide the extended ROM on the vogue? I never actually did it.. Tried no2chem's tool but that didnt work haha

ok, here is what I have found with my Touch. My carrier is Cellular South which has released no rom to the public to restore from. I searched high and low and asked many questions (thanks for the answers Dette and jmitr) and from what I have found the carrier customizations on mine were 3 cab files which are in the windows folder. When the rom runs the first time there is an .exe in the startup folder that tells the cabs to run and then deletes itself. I hard reset my phone before upgrading and wrote down the .cabs that ran and searched thru my phone and found the files. (in the windows folder) I copied these to my sd card and went thru the steps to unlock with coke 2.31, ran the bell rom to upgrade the radio and reset to prevent the bell carrier settings from running, upgraded to omj's m2d rom and after it finished i ran these 3 cabs from my card to do my carrier settings and all seems to work fine. I am on my 3rd day of running the rom without a problem. I hope this helps some of the other non-major carrier users with customizing.

thanks again to all who answered questions patiently,
Jack

Yeah yeah I know how to use autorun and what it does.. I just thought there was an extended ROM like on the Titan but maybe all the files on just on the phone in the Windows Folder because when I tried to attach an Extended ROM to my Custom ROM it wouldnt flash to my phone and it just said it was corrupted.. Hmmm

Hmm. Thought Vogue had one. Maybe Titan was the last device with an extended rom partition. One thing is for sure, you can't just add one to your ROM to create one!

Hop on over to xda-developers and do a search. The wiki has links to the tool as well as instructions, but better instructions can be found in some of the threads.

Yeah I figured that one out with an unbootable ROM! lol

No but I dont think the Vogue has an Extended ROM or atleast no2chem's tool doesnt show it

Hey dette, I recently flashed my ROM and really would prefer to remain stock. How do i return the out-of-box sprint stock ROM.

Nope, no EXT ROM in the Vogue. I spent a week looking for it when I got mine in May and found out somewhere (Here? XDA?) that there isn't one. Kinda disappointed me, the one in my Apache was so useful. And gguru, you're probably right about the Titan. I don't believe the Diamond or Pro have them either.

Flash the stock ROM. Just that simple.
