@quanda,

scotttr is right. You cannot brick the device by installing a cab. The worst that could happen is that it isn't the right one, in which case, you simply uninstall it or Hard reset if you feel like starting from scratch. I never used my Vogue on Sprint, so I cannot tell you for sure whether one or the other. Try both and see which one does better. I feel that the DCD cab should be more appropriate as I feel that the Sprint's cab may have the IOTA in it... but that is just a guess...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
Flashing

I gather then, from what you both have said, the Sprint Provisioning CAB and DCD Carrier CAB perform the same functionality. That was the basic question I needed answered. Different names but the files do the same thing.

In comparing the date in NFSFAN's thread (2008) to the date on the DCD (2009), it does seem like the Sprint CAB is older.

Q: Without the IOTA, does anyone know if I will still receive the PRL updates over the air?

Ok, I think I'm ready for the plunge. :D

It will probably take me a day or so, to get everything installed and set up.

You have given me all the help you could. Now it is up to me and Voggie. :p

I'll keep you posted on the results.

QA

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

The NFSFAN's Sprint cab is a small 3kb.

The DCD Carrier cab is 1.8MB!

After unzipping both CABs, neither had the IOTA file listed.

Apparently NFSFAN had his reasons for keeping the provisioning file small, probably to avoid bloat. I found out that "DCD" are the initials of the person who put together the carrier CAB, with the accessories and settings he/she thought necessary. It is a cooked carrier cab in essence.

Since there are various CAB files for things like the Sprint MMS, TV, Navigation and Picture Mail, that can be added if needed, I am going to trust NFSFAN's suggested setup and use the Sprint Provisioning CAB instead of the DCD CAB. The DCD more than likely enables TOO much.

As you have said, I can always remove one and try the other one. :)

What a learning process! Wow.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
I did it :D

Installation went well exactly as egzthunder1 stated, even down to the (2) hard resets until it booted up fully.

Still tweaking it here and there setting up the options and settings. There are a lot more bells and whistles than in 6.1 and it is a bit difficult locating where everthing is, but it is moving along.

I will post an entire list of files and apps that are working well on the device when done, and any notes I've taken during the installation.

Problem:The only thing I notice is that the icons such as Start, or X, or some of the other soft keys do not work on the first or second tap. Sometimes they won't work at all, and I need to press something else, then go try again.

Have any ideas?

Question: NFSFAN also had a Weather Database zip file. It is a .txt file. Where do I put it?

Getting back to work on phone.

Later...

QA ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
Flashing notes

Ok. Spent most of the day tweaking the device with the newly flashed NFSFAN's ROM.

Here is a final list of all the files that needed to be installed:

NFSFAN's Final 6.5 ROM

Sprint Provisioning CAB

Sprint_Arcsoft_MMS 5_1_082.79 CAB

*Note: The Arcsoft CAB removes Sprint Picture mail since the Vogue cannot have both at the same time.

HTC Touch Input SIP QVGA

Sprint Update PRL and Profile

Sprint TV for QVGA (I have it on my data plan so I installed it)

Weather Fix (puts weather back on home screen)

Weather Database (expands weather locations but not sure where it goes)

NFSFAN's Custom Opera 9.5 browser (only IE installed with the 6.5 ROM)

From the HTC Support site:

HTC Touch_HD BLA Bluetooth Security Update_08/14/2008

Note: The Touch 2016 Patch SMS Timestamp listed on site not needed with 6.5

Applications that are working well and recommended:

icontact .95: (great addition to stock contact list)

Clean Ram by HTC Addicts v 2.5

S2U2 2.43_QVGA

S2P Music Player

SIP Changer (Google for the download)

Inignma Bar Code reader

Junk Cleaner at Systweak.com

Registry Cleaner at Systweak.com

Task Manager v 3.1 or higher (built in TM is old version 2)

Total Commander v 2.51

Google Maps

(installed the newer version 2010_4.1.1_#1 to storage card, then deleted older GM folder on main memory/Programs)

NOT TESTED: The only function that has not been tested is MMS.

Not sure as yet if the PRL will update automatically over the air, and the 'PRL Update' function does not appear in the System menu. Not sure how to keep the PRL list up-to-date.

Storage Card: All programs that were installed on the card worked fine. HOWEVER, they would not appear in the Start Menu or Programs list unless I reinstalled them.

GPS: I found the GPS faster at picking up satellites, and locked on in less than 20 seconds indoors! Much better than with 6.1 ROM.

HELP NEEDED: Voice Command dialing will not work, and there is no longer any voice dialing capability in the Vogue that I can determine. Is there a way to fix this or add the voice tag dialing back into the vogue?

Overall Opinion of 6.5:

It is a bit faster and much smoother than the 6.1 ROM, but things were easier to find in 6.1 than in 6.5 ROM. In 6.1 ROM I was able to 'order' the programs the way I wanted to see them in the Start Menu, but in 6.5, they can only be moved up or down in the list, but not 'arranged'. With the ability to add them to PROGRAMS icon, this is less of a problem.

I would also have liked an easier way to remap the soft keys on the home screen. Don't need the Camera soft key. It could be used for something more vital.

Oh well, the good with the bad I guess. It will take awhile for me to get used to the 6.5 ROM.

MY SINCERE THANKS TO EGZTHUNDER1 FOR THE HELP AND GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT MY FLASHING ADVENTURE.

PRL Issue

Still researching on how to get voice dialing to work.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
Voice Command

Hey....I ask a few questions and everybody runs away from me. :D

Joking.

Still having issues with Voice Command after flashing. It started working somewhat after poking around in the registry BUT I changed nothing. That is why it is so strange.

I have two problems with VC:

1.The first time the hardkey is pressed, I do not hear the "alert" so I am not aware of 'when' to respond with "Call". The microphone icon shows and Notifications (in the top tray) says Voice Command Waiting. Fine, so I click and if I speak right away, device replies and dials.

Now, if I press the key again, I hear the chirp. ??????

If I try VC again after waiting, the same scenario occurs. The alert chirp is only heard on the second try.

2. Bluetooth does not work with VC, but if fine with the phone calls.

I tried adding this registry key from a suggestion at PPCGeeks. No change.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand

"path"="\\windows\\voicecmd.exe"

What now?

Thanks,

QA
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
First of, congrats on getting it running :) Glad everything worked out.

Voice Command.... which one are you using? Cyberon or MS? MSVC 1.6 flat out sucks. I wouldn't even bother. Compatibility with BT was always an issue with this as well. If it is only the chirp that has the issue... I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

On another one of your posts, you named the post PRL... any particular reason for it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
Vocie Command and PRL issue

Yes, it was a real experience. I was really impressed with 6.5, but things went bad soon enough. (My own doing).

Read below on the PRL issue to see what resulted.

Unfortunately, I think NFSFAN used Microsoft. Yes, from searching the internet, I can see that compatibility has always been an issue without clear resolution.

I will look into Cyberon.

The 'click' is no biggie. I press, wait one second and say CALL. The timing needs to be right, but if I miss and try again, I will hear the 'chirp.

Yes, I did not see any way of updating the PRL file in the device. After searching the internet, it was mentioned that there should be two "UPDATE" icons in Start/Systems. I didn't have any, and my PRL# was old. I reinstalled the Sprint Update/PRL CAB and the two icons appeared.

NOW HERE IS WHERE I MESSED UP. I tried to update the PRL and the Error 1012 came up on screen. This is 'device death'. It means that in trying to update, the MSL number was changed and all data connection was lost.

Sprint was unable to revive the device data connection. None of their repair codes worked.

The only choice I had: HARD RESET. Each time, another feature failed. After the third time, I was ready to toss 6.5. However, the third try was a charm and the device recovered. Naturally, all the apps including the supplemental files used during installation had to be reinstalled.

Took hours.

Now to my original question :): How can I SAFELY update the PRL in the future.

I have a headache. :(

Regards,

QA

PS. THE VOICE COMMAND ISSUE WILL BE TAKEN OVER TO EGZTHUNDER1'S thread " Questions and Answers for Vogue Users" here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=628382
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Believe it or not, updating the PRL is much simpler than updating anything in the device. You will need to get the MSL from your device though (use BAF MSL Grabber) and also you will have to have the PRL that you want to use somewhere in your memory card. Once you have this, simply go into Programs > Phone Codes > PRL. Once you go in there, it will ask you if you want to edit it and say yes. Then, simply browse and look for the PRL in question in your memory card, select it, and hit update/ok/ or something like that (I forget what the command is).... and voila.... you are all set :)

*228 also works (which is the carrier's automated update)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
PRL Updating

All HTC Touch use 026320. (as per Sprint)

Sounds simple enough.

Question: Ok, but where do I get the most current PRL??

Hold on now.....The silly auto update is what put me in deep poo poo the last time. (Using the Update PRL icon).

Qusestion: You sure that this will not change the data settings? I am not looking forward to doing another Hard Reset and installing 22 applications again in the near future![/I]On the brite side, the 6.5 ROM has been running really smooth. Occasionally, too much will be running and it takes a few seconds to recover, and if needed, nothing that a soft reset doesn't fix.

Regards,

QA

PS: I'm getting better! Only two questions this time. :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Google for the PRL. There is one that is pretty good (hasn't been updated in a while though)

http://www.corolada.com/prl/

Forget about the *228 then...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
I can see that corolada has some really old PRL files.

My device has 60671 which came out in September, 2010 I think

Over at PPC Geeks, I found 60672 which was dated as December, 2010.

I won't use it right now, but it is downloaded.

I would rather update the PRL manually your way then to chance messing up the data connection using the auto PRL code, or the UPDATE PRL icon.

Already forgotten.

PS: Didn't forget about the coffee and muffin. Need to have a friend send it out for me and won't be over there till next week.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] qanda6900:
PRL Updating

Easy. Most HTC Touch phones use 026320.

NOTE: For error free results using MSL Grabber, do a soft reset after the installation, then turn off data connection, and use the 'Flight Mode' if the device has it. (FM turns off data connection automatically). Remember to re-enable the data connection, and remove Flight Mode.

I found the Phone Codes folder under Windows/StartMenu/Programs/System Tools. I thought that it WAS under root Programs/Phone Codes when I flashed, but it is not there anymore.

Anyway, ##775# should start the update PRL process as well.

Haven't tried either yet. NO need. :)

Regards,

QA

PS: I certainly am enjoying the Vogue! Now I know why HTC/Sprint and MS would not release an OEM copy of 6.5 to us. We'd never buy new phones! The Vogue is a winner and I dont' see me swaping it out for a long time. :)

Just so I am sure I can do this, I can Flash from a 1GB Fat32 sd card, if I rename image file to VOGUIMG.NBH and place phone in bootloader mode?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Sorry, flash from 512mb Fat32 card, rename file to ruu_signed.NBH and put phone in bootloader mode..it should flash new Winmo? Right now am running LMiller rom, but want to try Xevrev release.

Update, I got it to flash using ruu utility.

I couldn't seem to do it from sd card via bootloader mode though. But for some reason Win 7 seemed to co-operate for me this time.

I'll play with this and then maybe try flashing an Android to Nand
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Your previous post was correct. nbh file needs to be renamed to VOGUIMG.nbh, placed on the root of the card, and let it flash from bootloader.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks Egz, I thought it was correct. It didn't seem to want to work though. But I got it flashed using RUU utility and a netbook with Win7.

Home page weather issue

Hey, the weather on the touchflo home page does not update regularly, and I don't notice any change when I tap the screen, and manually click on Update now. It will update only on a soft reset. ????????

The home page weather differs from the weather for the same location when I slide over to the weather icon on the bar. The update works fine for locations on the weather icon.

Where are the settings for the home page weather using Touchflo? Are they the same as the settings for Manila weather? The only way I find to access Manila weather settings is to first change the screen from Touchflo, back to Manila. Then from Manila back to Touchflo which I prefer.

Is the home page weather supposed to change automatically with location?

Otherwise the flash to NSFAN's 6.5 ROM was well worth the effort, and everything else seems to be working fine. Oh it hicups every once in awhile, but a soft reset fixes things.

Thanks for the video. What you have is WMDC and not ActiveSync. As per your question on the video, yes, you have to open ActiveSync go to File>Connection Settings> and uncheck where it says "Allow USB Connections". Once you do that, you can hit enter for the exitbl. As far as the flashing, even if you have already done it, it should not take half a second like it did with yours. Try to use an XP machine. Just out of curiosity, which radio version do you have?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwigginstm:
yea i have device center im just used to saying activesync but i dont know the radio and i just did it on xp with the same outcome, need i mention ever since i flashed back to stock rom if my phones ever goes into standby mode it wont come back i have to keep resting it
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
This may be because you need (or at least it is good practice) to hard reset the device after any rom flash. So, in the xp machine (32 bit I hope), once the RUU finishes open AS and disable USB. The cmd window should still remain open as you are not pressing any key waiting to execute exitbl. Once you finish this, press something on your keyboard and let it run it takes very short time.

After that, try flashing a rom and see if it works. If it did, you will not get stuck in the HTC screen. Remember that after flashing it takes a few minutes for the rom to load.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwigginstm:

Total process may take about 5-10 minutes depends on CPU speed

Connect your device via activesync before continuing. Press any key to continue.

According to the second post of the OP, he said there should be a moment where it tells me to disconnect and reconnect. Is that when I'm supposed to do it? Its still at the USB mode in bootloader...so do I power down and let it run through or what? I don't know why I'm having so much trouble. sigh...any help would be appreciated. It seems to not be detecting my device via activesync. I tried this on both my laptop and dad's desktop and they both don't detect it. I hear the USB connect when I plug it in from the Serial -> USB part.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrstak:
Dwig, during the first step, after you first put the phone in bootloader mode...when it says to "connect your device via activsync before continuing. Press any key to continue" did you reset the phone and let it boot up to the home screen before going forward? That's where I'm confused about. Also from your video, I may have the same problem you do where the phone connected via USB isn't recognized. It'll keep searching for devices connected via USB but it'll never find the phone.
