There are 3 files:
RUU_signed.nbh121009
Manila Home Weather Updater (with MortScript.cab)
CDMA Home Weather Fix.cab

Am I supposed to rename the RUU_signed.nbh121009 to RUU_signed.NBH, then run from SD Card?
Then do I just install the weather programs after RUU is installed?

I renamed RUU then inserted SD Card, then went into bootloader. It stays in Bootloader though, and never installs ROM.
Am I doing something wrong?

BTW.... I will be donating to show my appreciation.

Thanks!!

Do as quoted above after you have it running then establish a internet connection. Goto the weather tab in Manila 2 D set up your city run the update then install the 2 cabs. (it works better with both) restart phone and then you will have the weather update on the home screen.
*Note I have recently come across some phones that require several times of booting into bootloader to get it to update.

To do this connect USB to computer then Press power camera and Reset to get to bootloader red green yellow screen and connect to cable then run the exe file. DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATION RUN SOFT RESET WHEN IT SAYS CUSTOMIZE IN 3 SECONDS.
After this point you may need to run the unlocker again.

I know not to let it run Customization after running the radio RUU, but if I have to run the unlocker again; do I allow to customize, or do a soft reset again? Do I ever allow to customize after this step?

Never allow customization.

Hello again,
I think I'm gonna flash back to the 1st file you have VOGUEIMG.NBH. I like the display better. Do I have to start from step 1 to do that, or is there another step I can begin from?

BTW... I tried for the past 3 days to donate to you, and I keep getting an error message "This recipient is currently unable to receive money."

I'll have my link fixed on Monday, I had some unauthorized paypal activity and had to suspend the account till they get everything verified. As for flashing a different ROM just download, rename it to VOGUIMG.NBH load it onto your SD card and place in bootloader. It should work for ya. and I'll let you know when my donate link is working.

If you can provide more info I might be able to help!
Are all your EPST setting correct?
What ROM are using?
What radio are you using?
For GPS, have you made the GPSone setting and the registry edits correctly?
Is your WAP working?
What programs are you running?
Are you using any WAP/MMS fix cabs?

Take a look at post #28 for the EPST setting make sure they are all correct.
Post #1 will walk you through the GPS setting with QPST.
Now a few things could cause the mms not to work. It could be a ROM issue or just the usual cricket issue. There have been many reports as of late that phone that previously worked and had a new flash or hard reset recently no longer have MMS working. Others have reported problems with MMS on secondary phones on the account.
You can download a cab and give it a try. There is a link in post #1 for Ryans cabs.

Thanks Whitey for this tutorial.
Ok...My brother has a vogue(sprint) that I'm trying to convert to Cricket. I have done all the steps but I'm a little confused on the QPST step of "add a new port". QPST is showing com1 and com2 when I open it in the port tab. I hit "add new port" at bottom, then what? I tried typing com3 in the blank space, but still does not recognize phone as vogue. I can use a little guidance with this. Also, once it is ready for Cricket, can I just walk in the store and have them turn this phone on as a new member or do I have to have an account first? Thank you.
