Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

So you ran the 6.5 before. Which means you should know that you ALWAYS flash from the bootloader screen. If you flashed to stock sprint rom then you can flash back to NFSFAN custom rom. Your doing something wrong some where

are you flashing form the screen that has three colors??? If not Hold the camera and power button and soft reset (stylus in small hole) and it will enter a boot loader screen. (three colored screen) should say in the bottom USB. Thus meaning your connected. Start flash install. Let customizations run. Install carrier cab and Your done.

Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

Ok I realized I was an idiot and hadn't unlocked the phone. So now I'm trying to unlock the phone by running "Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe". After it gets into the DOS screen I get an error saying the software isn't compatible with my 64-bit windows. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

i know this first post here is now real long, but READ IT ALL before posting/pm'ing anyone. trust me, you will get through it all...every last word.
(dont get all scared either, this cant ruin your phone. if you are stuck at the htc boot screen, your device is not bricked. if you are stuck at a rainbow/tricolor screen, your phone is not bricked. have faith and patience! :) )Stock Rom To Custom Rom
1. download the custom rom of your choice.
2. connect to activesync and run the unlocker found here: https://www.smartphonejunkie.org/sho...touch+unlocker
3. once done with unlocking the bootloader drop the nbh file (get when download rom) into the RUU Folder found here: https://www.smartphonejunkie.org/sho...ghlight=RUU%2A
4. run the romupdateutility.exe and follow the wizards instructions on your pc



this method is for a pc running Microsoft Windows XP. if this is not your situation, still continue reading as there are methods for virtually every case.

ive been told that imcokeman's vogue unlocker will not work from a partitioned drive, though im not sure if thats the case.

if you know what flashing/the benefits of flashing are, skip this paragraph; if not, read on. flashing could be likened to installing a different Operating System on your PC. keep in mind, however, that when flashing roms to phones/pdas, the roms ARE DEVICE SPECIFIC. if you find an awesome rom for the titan and LOVE it, but you yourself have a kaiser, forget it. only roms made specifically for your device (and no, even if you have a cdma device, and they make a gsm version of your device, it still will not work) will work for your device. the benefits/advantages of flashing a custom rom onto your device are speed enhancements, addition/removal of programs/settings/reg settings you want or dont want.
now for how to..

for some slight insight on using a Mac, have a look down to the bottom where it says "HERE IS THE BOTTOM" after reading everything else, and/or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332533&highlight=macos

for how to on Vista, look down to the bottom where it says "HERE IS THE BOTTOM" after reading everything else, and/or simply remove any sd cards you might have and follow below directions as normal, and/or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292631

linux users: still read everything here, but have a look down at the bottom where it says "HERE IS THE BOTTOM"

for those who don't know this, flashing your phone also performs the same functions a hard reset would. all your previous apps, contacts, registry tweaks, etc will be gone. also, when you flash someone elses custom rom onto your device, keep in mind that they may have cooked in their own apps and registry tweaks.

ok, go ahead and go to this http://rapidshare.com/files/88767429/RUU.zip.html rapidshare link, and download the ruu.zip there. (if this does not work, navigate to \vogue\users on the ftp, and you should find "RUU.zip" there. if not, go to the folder there titled "jim256-jim2561" and you should find "RUU.zip" there.)

if for some reason you are unable to download the ruu from the above link/location, try my ftp dir here: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/jim256%20-%20jim2561

download whatever rom image you want

if the rom you download is in nbh format (something.nbh), read on and skip step 7.
if the rom you dowloaded is an exe (something.exe), read on and skip steps 5 and 8 (or use winrar or a similar program to extract the .nbh from the .exe)

then, get imcokeman 's 0.4.0 vogue unlocker tool here

for those who arent sure, you never have to have ActiveSync synchronized for this to work. you just have to have it connected, with ActiveSync recognizing that the device is there and plugged in.

1. backup all contacts/data/etc..
2. ensure your device is connected to your pc via activesync.
3. run imcokeman 's vogue unlocker and follow ALL instructions in the command prompt exactly .
4. once you have booted back up into wm and are connected to activesync again (dont worry about setting up your device again because you're just going to flash it again and erase all that in a second anyway) extract the ruu.zip to somewhere convenient.
5. (FOLLOW THIS STEP ONLY IF THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS AND NBH) stick the rom you downloaded (should be something.nbh -- if the file extension is NOT NBH, stop; this will get you nowhere. as i stated above, roms are device specific, you cannot install another devices rom to your vogue.) into the RUU folder from the rapidshare/ftp link.
6a. (power-camera reset) press and hold both the camera button and the power button (top), and poke the stylus into the reset hole. you should then be presented with the tricolor screen and near the top you should see something like coke 0.4.0 ( if you do not see the coke 0.4.0, then dont bother trying to flash your device. if it does not say coke 0.4.0, the device is not unlocked, and you need to start at step 3 again).
7. (FOLLOW THIS STEP ONLY IF YHE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS AN EXECUTABLE). run the exe!
8. (FOLLOW THIS STEP ONLY IF THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS AN NBH) run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the ruu folder you downloaded and extracted.
9. follow the steps, be patient, be careful, and whala!
10. thank imcokeman and whoever you downloaded your rom image from.

good luck.

also, for all those that keep asking about this and are worried about this, yes, the version discrepancy is completely normal in the ruu before updating. it just means v1 of the cookers rom, so even if it is a version lower than 1.12.651.1, that is ok.
whenever you flash a custom rom, it says whatever they want it so say in the ruu, so even if it doesnt say 1.12.651.1, that doesnt mean that it is downgraded, it is just the version of the custom rom builders rom.

HERE IS THE BOTTOM
ok, for those vista/mac/linux users, there is another method of flashing., courtesy of pnyce777 in post #42 and on. this method is via the sd card. it is not required that you do step one if your card is already fat32. i will update this post as we gain more knowledge

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32 (YES - FAT 32 32 32!! not just plain old FAT) (again, this is not required if your card is already fat32; it is ok to have other data on the card). I have read that the card needs to be 2gb or smaller, though I'm not sure how much truth, if any, there is to that...
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash from the exe or zip or w/e put it on the microsd card rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH
3.Put the MicroSD card in your phone and Get To the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.

you can also use this procedure to unlock your phone by flashing the .nbh from Cokemans unlocker just extract it and rename it VOGUIMG.NBH or if your stuck at that HTC screen and cant sync because your phone wont boot up.

i will try to provide support on this as i can, but as i have never used this method myself, pnyce777 is probably a far better resource if he is available and willing.

sorry this is now so long, wasnt supposed to be in the first place. but if you're not already used to a lot of reading, this is a good first step, because you will need to be doing a LOT of reading.

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...

Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

Yeah I've been following those directions. Those directions bring up another question I had....assuming I can make the unlocker and such work an a 32-bit computer....those directions want me to install a Sprint ROM in step 4:

#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")

Am I supposed to run this on my Verizon phone? The directions specifically say to avoid steps 5, 8-11.....so that means I should follow step 4 and install the Sprint ROM?

Last newb questions: Does my radio change in any of this? Does it matter that I have already upgraded to Rev A. and I think GPS with the Verizon Windows 6.1 update? Or do I have to kind of replace them to work with the new Custom ROM? Will I have to involve Verizon in any of this...like calling to reactivate the phone?

Thanks again!

no you dont need to do the sprint...... thats was for the radio but as long as you are running 6.1 onyour device like the progfile says than you have the right verison...... your radio wont change with custom roms sicne it isnt built in but in stock roms it is so thats why it was telling you to do so, but since you upgradsed already all you have to do is unlock and flash to the rom of your choice for your vogue. and being a verizon customer each time you hard reset or flash you have to give them a call at the number given on th emessage before your phone is active again.... my bussy has to do this and it literally takes 2 minutes max on the phone with them..... just tell them that you had to do a hard reset...

Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

I think I have followed directions. I formatted my SD card to fat32. Then took the file named "Voguimg2.nbh" from the 2.31 imcokeman's unlocker.....and renamed it to "VOGUIMG.nbh". I then put the card in my phone. I held power-camera-reset and get to the 4 color screen. It starts I guess and gets to a "loading....." screen and never moves. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong now? Can I run the unlocker from the .exe file...from the card?

Edit: oh yeah I rebooted the phone and it came back to windows and everything still works.

than the card wasnt properly formatted.... and that is the only file on the card correct? i would go for the regular fat32 format again but dont do quick format..... let it do its thing and than drag the nbh only to your storage card and try again.

Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

Ok so now I'm using a 32-bit computer.....I ran the unlocker and that worked. So now I'm running the new ROM and it seemed to start ok. Right now the screen looks like this:

VOGUIMG.nbh - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK


Update Complete
Update Success

Then the RUU on the computer gave me error 260 -connection error. Then I had to exit the RUU.

Now what should I do? Once again thanks a million!

just soft reset and see if you are running 6.5 i would recommend that you reflash to be safe than take the battery out for 1 minute and hard reset the device so all settings can stick beofre you isntall anything.

[raybond25]

Re: NFSFANs 6 point 5 ROM v7 (Vogue)

slowLX, when you're in the bootloader does it say "SPL - 2.31 coke"?

if it doesn't and soft resetting doesn't make your phone boot to wm 6.1 or 6.5 and flashing gives you a USB error then you're out of luck. this happened to my first touch when i didn't follow the last step in the unlocker when it says to press any key to boot to windows mobile. so it wasn't unlocked and you can't flash. also at that point activesync no longer recognizes the phone so you can't repeat the unlocking process...so there's actually nothing you can do at that point
