Hey,

Just a base question to start, after loading the ROM on both of your devices did you immediately hard reset allowing it to install again?

I personally never just load a custom ROM without doing that step, for some reason always seems to correct ant inherent issues that would have arose from just a single install.

After that, what have you installed after installing the ROM? any software installed post flash could be causing an issue as well - something setup to synch automatically at a specific time through the night that while your PC or Phone may have been in a sleep or low power mode and the connection causing the phone to "freeze" up when you go to grab it in the AM.

Yea, I always Hard Reset as I heard very early on problems could arise if you don't; the only other thing I have installed is NFSFAN's version of Opera, so I'm sure that's not contributing to my problem either...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
I usually flash twice and that helps in the long run. A little extra time on the front end will save bigger problems later. I have also gotten into the habit of using SK-Tools to do a full system backup and that helps when flashing to a new beta. I have the full version, but I think the shareware version does it as well.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] olografix:
Anyone have any luck with AGPS? I never get a GPS signal from work (even though I am next to a window) and I was hoping that flashing to Bell 1.28 would automatically use AGPS to find me through cell towers but I still can't get a lock.

Is this a hardware limitation or a setting maybe?

Thanks in advance.

Bricked Vogues

Hey man,

I love your ROMs but new beta one bricked 2 of my VOGUES. Seriously, I returned one because my screen stopped working. Sprint game me another one for replacement. After first successful try to **** the ROM, it restarted after cooking and stopped at the HTC logo. When I took it back I had a whole bunch of problems explaining what happen. They said that this was my last time to replace the phone with same issue. I will try my last time to do it for the 1.08 version, hopefully it will work.:eek:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Carrick1973:
How exactly does one perform a double flash of the ROM. After installing the ROM, it states that it will reboot in 3 seconds, and then it installs additional programs. Do you do a hard reset after this, or before the 3 second notification? Once you've Hard reset, I assume you get the tri-colored screen. Do you just run the ROM installer a second time at this point?

Thanks - Anything to make these phones even more stable is welcomed.

Personally I wait until after the customizations, doesnt take long and doesnt hurt ... once its done and it reboots then press and hold the red and green buttons and insert the tip of the stylus in the hole at the bottom next to the mini-USB interface and hold until the gray screen appears then hit the center of the D-Button and wait just like the first time

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Firstly did you have the upgraded radio on your phone before you flashed it? this may be the issue with the "bricking" you are talking about

Secondly and by your own statement the store has replaced phones for you before for the same issue, Ive ran across this several times with friends/co-workers Vogue phones and it is NOT the ROM, flashing back to factory default would fix it then, no? its a known issue with the Vogue to have a somewhat crappy interface with the touchscreen, if the store will NOT exchange it for you in the future, go over their heads then to asurion directly or to another store.

Three phones for co-workers I have flashed phones for several times have had this issue (the "bricking), one of them though I did have to flash back to factory default, unlock, reflash the radio 2X and then upgrade the ROM and has worked fine since - the others, one had the screen stop before I even touch it and the other was after a flash and a tap on the table actually corrected it for a time but he took it back in a couple days when it stopped again

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
the GPS feature is not exact by any means, and depending on the source can be anywhere from 20 meters to 200 meters off

I personally dont think the footprint app is useless, but I do think its just a gadget or a toy, basically something "shiney" to play with and show some geek cred on da streetz LOL

even with the stock 6.1 ROM when aGPS was enabled my location would be anywhere from my driveway to 3 or 4 houses down the street, I dont need that exact of a location and if I do, thats why I have my Garmin nuvi 255W LOL

Now from your question - will google maps work at all or not at all? if it finds something close to your location it IS working just not very accurately and thats going to be an issue for your provider and google to work out

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
What kind of building are you in?

What kinda of signal strength does your phone have there? and is it a "bouncing" signal" (bars jump from 0 to 5 and back to 0 or you bounce from 1X to EV and back

I have a similar issue at home, upstairs next to window is hit-n-miss but downstairs not even near a window is rock solid - phone works like a champ upstairs just aGPS fluctuates

Try it outside directly and see if the aGPS works better there in an open park/parking lot or something first and try and narrow down what and where the issue is occuring at...

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bensmiller:
that is the nature of the beast I messed my phone up the first time I flashed a rom then went back and reread everyting havent had many problems sense. If you think this is bad try being in retail where you are selling them DTV converter boxes, it pisses me off so much that people cant take 30 minutes and look it up before coming and yelling at me for 45 minutes about why they dont get a TV picture or that they cant even hook it up. *shakes head and walks away*:confused:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
Is there a way to extract the updated bell radio and just include it in the rom as a sorta newb/dumbass version, or is it more than just the radio file? From what I understood, the flash would fail with the wrong unlocker, so that keeps people from skipping that step...

Its almost like we need a new RUU that has cokeman's unlockers (both) included and has some automated stuff to it...

I'm a Telus user... was previously using NFSFAn's v1.08 WM6.1 ROM.

Just upgraded to the v14 WM6.5 ROM. No problems flashing, everything works great.

Only one problem for me... I don't know how to get the Manilla2D interface back :(

When I go:

- "Start --> Settings --> Today", Toggle off "Windows (Default)" and toggle on "TouchFlo"

- Then "Start --> Settings --> System --> Manilla2D Customizer" and load one of my M2D themes, then apply it...

... all I get is the message "Loading TouchFlo" on a "Blank" Today Screen background. I never actually get the TouchFlo interface back.

Sorry if this has been explained somewhere... I searched a bit and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for any help!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dxiong:
then you might have had a bad flash. V14 has been extremely fast and stable from my testing, the Chinese support using sunglobe and a4 has been working perfectly, as before. It has worked perfectly in all previous versions I tried. I would suggest flash back to stock rom, and then reflash 3 times the V14 rom. Or you can send me message for the issue with the Chinese support, see if I can reproduce it on my phone. Cheers.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tharris297:
I'm going to down load all everything again, V14, the provisioning cabs, etc. I getting random hard resets, and this is the first time that has ever happened in all of my years of flashing, no matter the rom.

I never even saw scroll arrows, so I guess I won't miss them. My email wizards seem to work the same and I love the M2d theme that's the default. It has kind of a 3d background. I use classic blue as my today theme, as I like the blue better than all the rest.

I have used the phone extensively with V14 installed and have not found one flaw. Battery life for me seems way better. This is the BEST ROM to date for sure.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] cyburke:
howdy! so i'd like to try the new v14 of your ROM w/ the Mega TF2D interface... in the updated screenshots on pg 238 we see this:

however you also see the native 6.5 honeycomb interface (which i actually don't prefer at all)

does your new ROM let you set the phone to never show the honeycomb interface and instead to only use the TF2D interface?

thanks for the info!

Only Once....
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hexto:
:mad: After seeing all the hype for the last week about v14 coming out I had to try it and I gotta say its one of the worst experiences I have ever had. At first I felt the touch response was not so good but I kept on with it. Then it froze up on me and soft resetting it acts like a hard reset and makes me begin from scratch. To be fair I re-flashed to a stock ROM then flashed v14 3 times even though that makes no sense whatsoever and its still a slower/less stable ROM than VIN's No Manilla from PPC Geeks or WDM's Mega ROM. I don't see how this is the fastest or best at all. I can't even do much on the phone without it slowing down or freezing up. I had this same issue with an earlier version months ago (V4 or V5).

I'm actually sending this message from Android because when I try to use IE the phone freezes after I start typing and clicking on icons/links

And why can't I install Opera? I used Total Commander which froze up my phone the first time I tried it and was able to install Skyfire but Opera still won't install. Its the same Opera I use on Vin's or WDM's ROMs.

I'm sorry to be so negative and don't mean any disrespect but as soon as I get to a PC I'm flashing to another ROM :(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raiden38:

I think Touch Commander is your problem. Every time I have used it with one of NFSFAN's ROM's I've had issues. As soon as I get rid of it and re-flash all is well.

TF2D Activation on V14 ROM

NFSFAN gives you a choice on his ROMs of which interface you want to use - the "honeycomb"/Windows 6.5 is the default - to change, go to settings/today/items/uncheck "windows default", and check "touch flo" - close out and you will be good to go
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DWC316:
open up m2d customizer, click on the bottom tab called restore, then click on restore home settings, this should fix your problem;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DWC316:
if your photos were stored on your device memory then no you cant recover them but if you stored them on your storage card then check the DCIM folder, hope this helps;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DWC316:
there is no honeycomb interface, thats the new 6.5 today interface, just uncheck windows default and put a check mark in the touchflo box and you will be set
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
That may very well explain it. If you follow the suggested way to flash and you start with good downloads of the ROM, you will have 100% success. If you flash once, you may have success, even for a while. there have been reports where the phone is stable for a couple of days, then starts locking up or reboots. Some argue here, ( a recent post claims that flashing 3 times makes no sence), that flashing 3 times is a waste of time. But I can tell you, from experience, that if you don't take short cuts, you will have 100% success.

It sounds to me that you may not even have a Vogue, or you have a hardware problem, or you are just flashing wrong. Because everything you claim is not happening to 90% who have already flashed their phones.

If this is not some ploy to smear or attack NFSFAN, and you are telling the truth about your problems, then I suggest flashing back to stock and flash your phone 3 full times. Oh and make sure it is a Vogue.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raiden38:
Hi. It's not a big deal, it just happened once. It's probably just something that hang the system, maybe a software I installed or something else. Anyways, it does not really matter, it's probably the first time, since V1 that something like this happend to me.

Is location "on"?

This is a new issue - it actually seems to take root in the installation of the Flexilis program last week - It didn't work, so I uninstalled it - since then, the "location" bullseye indicator on any dialer I use has an line going through it, like my location is not on - this behavior has continued with the new flash to V14 - I went back to square one, re-setting the radio using the original AGPSwiki instructions, and flashing all the way back to V14 - GPS works, i get good locks, texts, phone calls, etc. - all is great, but this indicator is bugging the heck out of me - I've tried turning the location setting on and off, and the indicator will lose the line, but when I restart, the line through the indicator comes right back - I've attached a screen shot - any ideas? Did flexilis to something the radio? I haven't tried making a 911 call - should I?

No one said there was a need. This is a suggestion to eliminate problems and bugs. 90% of the people who don't, are the ones here posting problems they are experiencing. And it doesn't matter what other chefs say regarding this ROM. You will find mention of flashing multiple times in the support sections of most manufacturers websites. When HTC released the last official ROM for the Vogue, they suggested a double flash to eliminate problems.

Trust me, you can flash a ROM chip many many times before the chip will malfunction.

Well, last night before I went to sleep the hard reset problem happened again. So this morning I got up, flashed back to the Telus 6.1 ROM, did the unlocker again, and then did this:

1. I would go to the rainbow screen (I know it has a technical name, I can't recall it), it said Coke 2.31,

2. flashed up v14,

3. let it customize,

4. repeat 1,2,3

5. repeat 4

6. did a hard reset

And that's where I'm at. It's been running trouble free now for about three hours. I will say that, other then the hard resets, v14 is running... well, frecken awesome. Man, it's smooth as silk. My only other snag is that I can't get my GPS to get a lock. I did run the Telus provisioning cab. In gps viewer it can see anywhere from 4 to 8 satellites, but it never locks. I'm not to concerned about it though, all the other improvements totally trump not having gps.
