Hi there Gents any input

Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] joshmxpx:
Great idea for a faq page!

I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.

I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...

Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?

Thanks

I have a question:

I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).

Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).

Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Edit: Here you go

i just flash my vogue with the latest NFSFAN rom. can someone tell me the setting to get my gps to work? whenever i start googlemap it keeps on trying to connect through the data connection. (i did do that one step that NFSFAN asked for the gps dL that verizon cab)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Question from mac+htc

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?

Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).

Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.

As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like yourphonenumber@verizonwireless.com or something like that)

Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Question from pasdabeer

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] pasdabeer:
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] pasdabeer:
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.

With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?

Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
True, you should, but at least you are not opening a new thread for questions and are posting in the right place, so I will answer :)

There are skins out there, but you gotta be careful because skinning for 6.5.x messes up a lot of things (like radio buttons, scrollbars, menus, etc). Now search and have fund (hint: go to development and hacking section and look for QVGA skins for 6.5.x... enjoy :))

Question from interframe

You did not unlock it properly. Flash back to stock and follow my guide on unlocking (follow every step of it). Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] nuttyprof:
I've got a couple issues:

I did the flashing process to turn on GPS. Now my radio is a 3.37.77, and I have some weird reception with Verizon. Is the radio my problem? Which one should I be on?

Also, my GPS still isnt working either. If I dont see SUPL_GPS and only SUPL_AGPS, does that mean I did it wrong?

This phone is going to be the death of me. I'm a med student and I've spent all my studying time getting this thing to work. Hopefully I dont ever get a renal failure patient cause I'll have no idea what to do!

Thanks for the help, btw.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
AGPS is fine. Unfortunately, the GPS on the Vogue takes an eternity and a half to get a lock. Try to use Visual GPS or HTC GPS Tool to make sure that the GPS is working. Also, follow scotttr's link for Verizon's GPS fix. The radio you are on is more than enough (although you could take it to 3.42.30, 40, or 50.

As far as the renal patient, you can always flash his/her kidneys to the latest WM build :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Question from Stellarex

I can think of a few things:

1. Your battery is dying.

2. You have a faulty USB connector

3. You have to Hard Reset

Now, to the explanation. Since Android is detecting it (at least according to your post), that rules out #2. The fact that you can charge the device in Android, also rules out #1. I know that you said that you are on stock, but I am not certain what it was before that, so my advice would be for you to hard reset the device since the USB driver might have gotten corrupted for some reason. If you put the device in bootloader, can you connect it to the PC? If it does, the text in bootloader will change from serial to USB.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
I have been playing with Android a bit off sd card, but I would like to try a WinMo 6.5 as see how I like it , I am still using V6.1.

I have never flashed before and am quite leery, but have been reading the guides. I have a Vogue MP6900 on Bell CDMA.

Would I be better off to use NFS rom or some other newer one?

I understand I need to Unlock and then flash rom
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
You are correct. Unlock before flashing.

NFS is good and stable (but has had its development stopped by the chef), but it isn't the latest. Barogi just released the latest build (actually it isn't the absolute latest since there already are a few newer builds out there) and his roms are usually fast and stable. Lmiller and brandolensky's roms are also quite good. And last but not least, mine... (but it has been taken down from the server for some reason, I have to re-upload it sometime later today).

Don't forget, unlock and then flash. Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
Verizon is on 3.37.78, the vzw rom listed in egz tutorial has it. I'm on vzw with 3.42.50 and everything is working. I have also been on 3.37.77 and 3.37.78 with working gps.

If you followed all the directions in that other post and did not let customizations run, your gps should work. Like egz said load a viewer and have patience. If you see satellites with the viewer, whether you get a lock or not, your gps is working.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks you egzthunder, I will look for your rom later on.

I am quite hesitant about the whole process but I should try it sometime soon here. What is the worst, I brick my phone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
In essence... there is also a chance that you can permanently brick your device if you were to flash... say a Blue Angel rom in a Vogue. For the most part, what will happen is that the device will be able to go into bootloader and then you can flash back to stock (safety, if you will), so the risk even though low, is still there.

Your device can also permanently die if the device is flashed many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times (the NAND will die after a certain number of flashes, but this number is usually around the thousands, so you don't have to worry :)

Have confidence, we are all here to help :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Okay thanks, I'll wait for you to get your rom back up.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:

I have a Telus Vogue with 3.41.0 radio.

Can I use the Bell 3.42.50 radio upgrade then reflash with LMiller's latest rom followed by the Telus provisioning CAB?

All the latest ROM's say I need Radio 3.42.50

Or am I going to have problems?:confused:

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbirky:
Verizon GPS Activation

OK, so here's what I have as received from VZW 08/2009:

ROM: 3.14.605.1

Radio: 3.37.78

PRL: 51776

PRI: 2.03_002

So I have some questions:

1) Shouldn't I use 0.41.coke unlocker as it is "safer" than 0.40.coke?

2) If running customizations is what turns off the GPS, can I just stop after Step4 using the stock VZW ROM?

3) My radio is already 3.37.78, and the stock ROM has 3.37.77 - is that a concern?

4) If I have to flash some other ROM, I'm not sure which one you mean by "the verizon one that egzthunder1 has posted in his tutorial." Do you mean NFSFan?

5) Does the flash pause before running customizations? Or do I have to watch closely and catch it b4 it starts?

6) After this process is complete, what exactly will I have lost? I know I'll need to reprogram with *228, and restore contacts and any files with Activesync. Will I need to edit a bunch of EPST stuff, etc? (I did record all of the EPST data just in case.) Will I need a new A-Key?

7) The post scotttr referenced also has a link to a Verizon GPS setting Cab which is apparently broken. Is this something I need? There is also a Verizon Provisioning Cab link that is also broken - what does that do?

Just a comment - it took me some time to realize that "Flash a ROM" means to run ROMUpdateUtility.exe on the PC from a folder with the RUU_signed.nbh file you want to use as the ROM. Just for us noobies, you might want to specify how exactly you "Flash a ROM".

Also, just an aside - the *228 is not a given because I don't live in a Verizon primary coverage area. I'm always on Extended Network - long story - but I have to drive about 15 minutes to get somewhere that I can program a phone or use any of the #MIN, etc stuff.

Sorry for all the Q's, but I really want to understand what I am doing.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Yes, you can do that. Just make sure that your phone is unlocked before doing any of that. Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SJMouse:
Yes it is unlocked, let's see what happens :eek:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Here are your answers:

1. Probably a good idea :)

2. Not to sure about what Step4 is since I haven't had the need to follow that guide.

3. No, it isn't. Again, any radio 3.xx.xxx and above will work.

4. He meant stock.

5. Customizations start upon first boot (you will get a pop up saying "customizations will start in 3 seconds" or something like that. The safest way to stop it is to soft reset the device as soon as you see the "Today Screen"

6. *228 should take care of all the EPST programming. As far as what you will lose, it will be any Verizon's preinstalled apps.

7. I am not certain about the GPS cab, but the provisioning cab will configure your device to be used with Verizon (so, you will need this one for sure)

I have a full guide (stickied on this forum) for the flashing process, which I monitor constantly for questions.

An alternative to using the *228 is to do EPST by hand. It isn't nearly as bad as you think. Just copy the ones that you have now to a piece of paper and after flash, you can copy those back on EPST. Usually, these settings do survive flash since they are not part of WM. But just in case, you can write them down and simply complete the fields afterwards.

Hope this helps...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SJMouse:
OK now I've got a silly question, I downloaded the VOGUE radios file.

Where do I put the unzipped 3.42.50 file?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Rename the radio that you want to VOGUIMG.nbh, put it in the root of your sd card (has to be clean, 2GB or less, and be formatted for FAT32), go to bootloader, and the device will do the rest.

Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Okay, I am getting more confused the more I read.

To flash a custom rom, unlock phone, then rename the rom to 'RUU_Signed.nbk'?

Then I also need to flash a radio rom named VOGUIMG.nbk?

Then I require fixes for Weather, provisioning cab Bell carrier cab blah blah (I can't remember now LOL)

How do I get GPS enabled, or it is built-in to some roms?

Perhaps I should just use NFS rom, it is older but does it include or do all the extra stuff for me, considering I am on Bell?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
*The extension is nbh and not nbk

*Same goes for the radio rom

*Yup all those fixes... and then some ;)

*GPS is built into any rom that has 3.xx.xxx and above radio on them.

*NFS is always a safe bet. Good, fast, and stable.

I hope this helps clarify things up.

Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Yes, sorry for the mistake on file extentions.

Well, I am still awaiting your new version egzthunder. But I might try NFS for first time unlock/flash

You guys are the best here, coffee and donut for you:cool:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbirky:
Man, thanks for the quick response. Here are the first 4 steps in the process to which scotttr sent me:

So it looks like all I need to do is stop after Step4 and then try to find the Verizon provisioning cab (some links in the post I quoted above are broken - two of which are this provisioning cab, and the Verizon GPS setting Cab.)

Can anybody provide a working link? I'll PM scotttr to see if he knows where I can find these.

Thanks...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Well, since you are offering... donations are always welcome :cool:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Look in my rom thread. There is a link to codybear's collection of provisioning cabs (verizon included)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SJMouse:
Thanks egzthunder, I'm now running Radio 3.42.50.

But I still get an error when I goto location settings:

It says "The wireless radio is currently off. Please turn it on" when I click on "get settings" for anything under personal/phone/services?

I was hoping the newer radio would fix this. :(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbirky:
Thanks again - found it. But I'm still missing the "Verizon GPS setting cab". Just for clarification - what do these cabs do? Specifically what does the GPS cab do?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I am not certain, but my guess is that the GPS cab modifies a few parameters in the registry (this is what most of these cabs do anyways) that will allow for faster lock-on and stuff like that.

The provisioning cab will set up your connection settings, will pop in a prl for your carrier, and may tweak the registry a bit, but that is essentially it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Which rom are you using? Also, what is the exact issue that you are having?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbirky:
And yet another question...I have copied all of the EPST information so I can make sure to get it all back in correctly, but I have seen a few references to QPST - what is QPST?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SJMouse:
I'm using LMiller's V15 currently, but it also happened with his other ROM's and Barogi44's and B-Rom's. That's why I wanted to update the radio. Because they do say use 3.42.30+, I thought it was the 3.41.00 radio.

The first time I go to the setting to check if Location Setting is on it shows that it is. After the first time then I can't get to any of the other settings either and I get the error message.

Hard Reset, Flash, Retry, 1st time OK, then error again.

So now the location setting is always set to 'on' which is fine if I want to use the GPS, which will connect after about 10min., but it is also draining the battery :(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
QPST is a software that is used for diagnostics and programming of CDMA cellphones with Qualcomm chips on them. You really don't need to get involved with QPST unless you know what you are doing... you can really mess things up if you are not careful (particularly if you are planning on playing with the NV files).
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
There is one thing in common with all of our roms (all the cooks you mentioned and mine as well). We all use PPCKitchen to make them. It could be that the HTC location package that is being used either has an issue or that we are not cooking it in properly (in fact, I don't even think I have it in my rom)...

I will ask the other chefs to look at this post and see if we can come up with a collective solution.

In the meantime, try to see if you get the same issues with vin's rom and with NFS's (both of them discontinued), but really stable nevertheless. If this works correctly, then that will point to us doing something wrong.

Thanks for pointing it out and let me know if my suggestion works.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I doubt it... it sounds rather new. Have you checked the PRL? I am not certain if it would do anything, but at this point it seems to be something that is not related to WM or the radio anymore (as you have already flashed several radios already. Also, it could be related to something in the EPST programming (I remember there is something that deals with location in there, but I cannot remember the exact setting)
