Upgrade Sprint Touch to Rev. A. COMPLETE TUTORIAL With Download Links.

As there are many Sprint users here and the new Alltel thread growing like a fungus, I figured it was a good time to create a tutorial thread with download links for Sprint users.

Let's begin.

UPGRADING SPRINT TOUCH TO REV. A

Make sure your phone(Sprint Touch) is fully charged as this will take the better part of an hour. While your phone is charging, I would strongly recommend using a program such as SPB Backup to backup all important information on your device as it will be hard reset multiple times during this process.

1. Download ImCoKeMaN's new Vogue unlocker: http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe

2. Make sure your device is connected to ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, whichever you have.

3. Run Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe and follow the on screen instructions. It is VERY easy to do this wrong so MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS during the process of unlocking your device. Your phone will display SPL 2.00.coke at first but will then change to 2.31.coke as you progress through the process.

4. Allow your phone to boot up completely into OS once the unlocker process is done. Hold the power and camera button and insert your stylus into the soft-reset hole next to the mini-usb port on the bottom of your phone. It should display an SPL of 2.31.coke.

IF YOUR DEVICE DISPLAYS THE 2.31.coke SPL THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT, REPEAT STEPS 3&4 UNTIL IT DOES.

5. Reboot your phone so that it is back in OS and you are able to use the phone and connect to ActiveSync/WMDC.

6. Download and run RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_3 .37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecia lNBH.exe

and follow the on screen instructions. It is much the same as any RUU you may have used before. The update will appear to have crashed at 11%. Do NOT be alarmed as this is normal.

THIS STEP CAN BE FATAL FOR SPRINT USERS SO READ CAREFULLY!!!

7. When RUU is completed, align screen and set date and time as usual.

For All Non-Alltel users once you finish aligning the screen and setting the date and time it will say "Tap the screen to continue". As soon as you do this it will immediately display a message that says "Customization will begin in 3 seconds. Press OK to continue." SOFT RESET NOW!!! Do NOT allow carrier customization to run. Soft reset during that 3 seconds.

8. At this point your phone should be booting back up. It should still display the Sprint PCS banner on the HTC Home plugin and you will still be able to make and receive calls. At this time, test your internet and see if it works. I have read conflicting stories of people using the Alltel ROM and being able to use the internet still and also people not being able to use the internet.(If your internet does not work do not be alarmed, there is still one more step)

9. If your internet works and you like the Alltel ROM then you are done. If your internet does not work or you would rather have a Sprint ROM, continue to step 10.

10. Download RUU and jakdillard's new WM6.1 ROM below.

ROM - ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/gpstest2.1.rar

RUU - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VNIQUDP2

11. Copy contents of RUU folder to gpstest2.1 folder and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow on screen prompts and ROM update should go smoothly.

12. Sprint users you are now done. You should now have a Rev. A Sprint Touch with the OEM look and feel of JD's 19209 build.

GPS - HOW TO.

I know a lot of you have been wanting to get GPS working. Here is how to do it.

1. You must be using JD's newest test ROM which is available for download in step 10 of the tutorial above.

2. Download Google Maps from here: http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/P...&productType=2

It is free so don't worry.

3. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC(whichever you have) and copy the downloaded cab file to your phone and run it. Install to main memory.

4. Just run Google Maps a wualla. Done.

How-To Get GPS Working Everytime (added by mindfrost82):

- Download GpsViewer.PPC300_2577.cab.zip(Holux GPS Viewer)(free)

- Run that program before you run any other GPS program

- Set it to Com4 and click Open

- Be near a window to get a fast lock on GPS (mine still works inside my house though)

- When you start to see what looks like lat/long in the display minimize it (don't close it)

- Now run Google Maps (or any other app) and set it to Com4 (or automatic should work too)

- It should pickup GPS right away since the GPS Viewer already has the locks

- Remember to close the Holux GPS Viewer when you're done or it'll constantly use GPS and drain your battery!

DOWNGRADING AND REVERTING BACK TO ORIGINAL SPL

1. Download ImCoKeMaN's original unlocker here: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...e_unlocker.exe

2. Run Vogue_unlocker.exe and follow the on screen instructions to a T as it is very easy to mess up. This will overwrite the 2.31.coke SPL. During the unlocking process your device will display 0.36.coke SPL. This will change once update is complete.

3. Once you finished with the unlocker, your SPL should no longer display 2.31.coke but should now display 0.40.coke.

4. Insert your stylus into the soft-reset hole but do not allow to boot back up into OS. Instead, hold down the camera and power buttons and insert the stylus into the soft-reset hole again putting you in bootloader mode.

IF YOUR DEVICE STILL DISPLAYS 0.36.coke THEN CONTINUE TO STEP 5. IF NOT THEN RE-RUN STEPS 2&3 UNTIL IT DOES.

5. Since it is recommended that you flash back to the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM at this time, that is the link that I am providing here. Download and flash the OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM. This will overwrite the custom SPL written by ImCoKeMaN's unlocker.

6. You're now done. Your phone has now been reverted back to it's original shipped state.

RESTORE THE 1.33.003 PRI

(Must complete the Downgrading and reverting back to original SPL tutorial first)

If you are a Sprint user and you allowed the Alltel customization to run and complete then you most likely are now wondering where the Sprint PCS banner went from the HTC Home Plugin and are also wondering why you are not able to connect to the internet regardless of what you do. This is a tutorial on how to fix this problem.

What happened to cause this problem is that Alltel's customization also contains a 2.01.001 PRI which is different from Sprint's 1.33.003 PRI. Allowing customization to run will overwrite Sprint's with Alltel's leaving you with no internet or Sprint PCS banner on the Home plugin.

Here is how to fix it:

1. Download GetSPC here: http://www.5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip

2. Extract the zip file and copy the GetSPC folder to the root of main memory of your device.

3. Go to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and either open notepad or get a piece of paper and write down your ESN. This is your HEX ESN.

4. Run GetSPC.exe from that folder you placed on in the ROOT folder of your device and in the TOP box, type in your HEX ESN. Hit "GO" and the number generated will be your MSL. Write this number down as well.

5. From the dialpad(MUST BE ORIGINAL VOGUE DIALPAD, NOT A SKINNED DIAL PAD) dial ##786# and it will bring up a large list of quite a few different numbers. Write down your MDN and MSID(you will need them, trust me).

6. Click Menu and select reset. It will ask you to put in an unlock code. Type in your MSL. Everything will reset back to the factory defaults, including your PRI, MDN, and MSID.

7. Follow boot sequence and align screen and what not and allow Sprint's customization to complete.

8. From the dialpad, dial ##(6 digit MSL here)# and click edit. Type in your MDN and MSID and click OK.

9. Your phone should now be reverted back to the bare bones stock OEM 6.0 Sprint ROM with the Sprint PRI of 1.33. You're done.
