You have to have the following:

a. The phone must be registered to your account. The way most CDMA carriers work (afaik) is by comparing certain parameters in your phone (EPST settings), your phone number, and the ESN/MEID of your device. Particularly, if the ESN doesn't match, then you can't use it. They have to add it to your account.

b. MSID and MIN are the two most important programming parameters in the EPST configuration. MSID is usually your phone number.

c. HomeSID and PRL (preferred roaming list). The PRL is a file that contains information about towers. I am not certain about HomeSID, but it becomes important sometimes.

d. Internet settings if you have data plan on your account.

Honestly, both a and b are the most important ones (and really the crucial ones to get the device working) and since you will have to get in touch with Sprint anyways, you might as well ask them to help you program it (they will add the ESN to your account, and provide you with the MSID and MIN).

Word of the wise, if you have already unlocked the device, flash it with a Sprint official rom since you will need it for them to program the device. You can always flash back to whatever it is that you are doing afterwards.

Best of luck!

HTC Touch Weird setup/Working/Roaming?

Ok so after much help from the forum I have switched to my Vogue and I have installed Android to my SD for fun :p So far so good send and recieve is 100%!

First off unless I dial my area code it literally says "Verizon number not actived" something to that effect.. Its a sprint phone O_O If I use my area code first it dials out just fine! not a biggie just a small annoyance...

Ive also noticed that whether im in WinMo or AndroidOS its always in "Digital Roaming". I have a Sprint Unlimited data plan.. Should I be worried about this? I just dont want a $1000 bill for roaming charges when im not actually roaming >.<

After a long search I havent turned up many reults even with my buddy google..

Thanks as always!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
Go in your EPST menu and verify that your Home SID/NID #1 are set properly.

Sprint can provide you with the right numbers.

That should take care of the roaming.

Sleep of Death - Vogue

My vogue keeps locking up in sleep, pushing the power button does nothing, no lights, nothing. Have to soft reset everytime it does it. Any suggestions as to the problem, and would a new rom help?

thanks

Vogue

Verizon Wireless

Radio: 3.37.78

NFSFAN V1.0 rom

Known as the Screen of Death (SOD)...

You will need to Do a hard rest of flash the ROM again to fix.

It is probably caused by a CAB that you installed.

Happy Flashing! ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Either that or your power button is busted. But likely SOD :rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hexalot:
Not to throw down so aggressively, but I had the same issue with my screen going to sleep and not waking up. It required a soft reset to work again. A reflash didnt solve it and hard reset was doing nothing either. I upgraded the radio (needed 3.42.50 might be diff for you since youre with verizon?) and flashed Miller_V16.0_23568 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=638905 . Havent had the problem since and for reference after I flash I ONLY install the proper provision cabs and test fully before installing anything else third party =D

I will give it a try with Miller_v16. Did you flash back to stock before changing over?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
If you are already on a custom rom, there is no need to flash to stock. Just make sure that you hard reset after you flash.

Radio?

1) How do I check what version of the Radio I have?

2) Is it any more risky to upgrade the radio than flashing the ROM in general?

3) Is there an FAQ / step-by-step guide for upgrading the radio?

4) Lots of people have different radio versions - is there a comparison, are there benefits, is it true that one of the most recent ones out there bork's the GPS?

THANKS! :)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Hey NuAngel,

1. If you are on WM, Start>Settings>System>Device Information (not sure about Android)

2. Technically no, but it has been reported that if you are on 3.xx.xxx and above, you shouldn't flash to a radio below 3.xx.xxx or else you may end up damaging the device.

3. See my FAQ :)

4. No comparison really and the gain from one to the next is minimal (if any). At least, that is in my experience.

Hope this helps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NuAngel:
egzthunder1, thanks a ton!

Was able to check my radio version, thanks to your instruction. It reports as 3.42.30, which is "high enough" for the ROMs I have been looking at, which was my main concern.

Advice?

Chefs, have any advice for a first time cook?

I noticed a lot of people using build '25xxx' - but there's some way different build '28xxx' files on PPCKitchen - why are "we" using the older ones, what's so 'bad' about the newer builds (in the process of downloading, haven't checked them all out, yet)?

When everyone wants "Manila" (I prefer Titanium), where would I grab the installer to cook in to my ROM?

Thanks, I'm sure I'll have more questions... is there a Chef's FAQ thread somewhere I should be reading? ;)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Does it not work at all or you simply can't get a lock?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Don't go by version numbers. There are what are known as COM branches for 6.5.x development. In this case, 25xxx and 28xxx are parallel developments (COM5 and WMD respectively). One of them focuses more on IE development, while the other focuses more on the UI. 21xxx roms are COM2, and it's biggest thing is that they still have the Start button on the top left corner.

Head over to Chef Central in the main forums. you will certainly get help over there.

Last thing, what you said about Manila vs Titanium is the sole reason why I don't cook it in and rather leave it for the end user to add it to the UC installer (post flashing). People have different tastes, and you can't really please everyone :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Egz. It just won't lock. I tried 3.43.50 bell radio. everything. i guess I got vogue GPS working over a year ago on verizon and i must be missing the step to get GPS to lock. i checked the aGPS settings in registry and PPST. should i flash back to MR1 or something? dunno what the issue might be.

radio 3.37.78 vs 3.42.30

Noobie asking a question about compatible roms.

I've successfully unlocked my phone and am debating on which 6.5 rom I want to flash (still running stock 6.1 verizon).

I currently have the verizon 3.37.78 radio. I've seen posts that state any 3.xx.xx radios should be fine but most of the newer roms state you must have 3.42.30+. I would assume that these are not compatible with my current radio or will they run?

Any recommendations on 6.5 roms that are compatible with the 3.37.78 radio?

Thanks for any help with this.

Is this User/Pass the login info for PPCGeeks forums?

Or do you need to request access for a new user/pass?

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
There really is no correlation here between roms and radios. 3.42.30-50 are compatible with all roms (and so is 3.37.78 for that matter). Just flash whichever one you think it will suit you better :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I think that you may have to manually input these codes via Titanium customizer or CHome 1.6. Go to a website like accuweather or even yahoo weather and get the codes from there. Also, you can google something like this: "weather code" +Hangzhou. Hope this helps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
Titanium customizer is cooked into the rom, I use Home Screen Customizer though. They are only good for adding/removing panels and reordering them, some of the panels can be setup though them, but not Titanium weather.

Titanium weather has a place to enter 'ZIP or Location Code'. It updates through accuweather. US zip codes work fine, but I have no idea how to get international codes. I tried the accuweather site and a bunch of others. I found alot of different 'codes' all result in an invalid location.

Is anybody not located on North America using the Titanium weather panel? If so could you tell me how you got your code, or even post your code so I know what format I'm looking for.

edit: I sort of found a solution. The 'Titanium weather' panel came with nfsfans rom, when i installed Home Sceen Customizer it also included a 'weather' panel. The 'weather' panel that came with Home Screen Customizer has a search location feature and Hangzhou, CHN is found and I can see a limited 5 day forcast.

I'd still like to know how to make 'Titanium weather' work internationaly. The 'weather' panel lacks many of the options and functions that the 'Titanium weather' panel has. In the meantime I've added the 'weather' panel and moved the 'Titanium weather' panel to the bottom of the screen.

Adding icons to start menu

How do we add icons to the start menu? I am currently using B-Rom's rom, but it seems he's been AFK forever and I could really use the help and since this is really a general issue, I thought I'd post here.

Basically, some of my original icons have been removed in the start menu, but I need them to be able to access the calculator, notes, file explorer, etc. I believe the 2 main folders I've lost are the 'tools' and the 'advanced' icons. Inside them are other icons such as the applications listed above.

Let me know how I can add them back or if I'll have to flash a new rom.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:

As far as changing the icons, you can use JWD Icon Changer, which will allow you to manipulate the icons in the start menu.

__tp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78560

I checked my PRI version and it is the correct version: 1.46 which is less than 2.02 for GPS to work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
You are lucky that you did not get to flash 1.xx radio or else you may end up with a brick (that is if you are on a 3.xx radio or above). Besides, the tut says that you need 1.37 and not 1.46 for the PRI...

Try it again, but be careful as going down in radio can kill your phone.

Load WinMo again without power button and on Android?

Android does not work without the power button. Even turning screen timeout off, it will still at random go back to the screen saver screen, where the only way to get rid of is either clicking the power button, or calling up the phone. Since calling it every time I want to use it is impractical, I opened up the device, and saw that the 2 small latches holding onto this sort of brown paper cushioning was bent. i bent them back to where they were, and the button clicks. It still doesn't work, and I'm sure I have to solder something into the motherboard. Fact is, I've never soldered anything in my life, and I'm not even sure where I'm supposed to solder.

So I just give up. WinMo never really needed the power button (red turned it on/off so it was pretty useless).

I don't have ActiveSync because I have a macbook (just bought it after my dell died) and my phone's running Android.

I can't go to bootloader because all the various codes to enter all require the goddamn power button.

So I don't know how to get rid of andriod and put back WinMo. Suggestions?

Thank you so much for any help!

I have transferred your question to the Q&A section. Please do not open new threads with questions.

Now, I am not sure if you will be able to flash as you cannot access bootloader (not even via MTTY as you are in Android). I think there is a way to remap the buttons of the Vogue for Android and you can remap the power (Menu in Android) to the camera button. That's what I would do. But without a power button... not much you can do, not even flash from SD since you need to put the device in bootloader for this...

Droid, HTC Incredible, Droid X upgrade debate...

Hi, , my current phone (an HTC Vogue Touch CDMA)

Please dont hurt me for asking here, but egzthunder1 I know you have upgraded, I'm sure others too ... I figured there would be better insight coming from people that have actually had the phone I have...

I have been an Alltel / Verizon user for 10+- years like the coverage areas, although I may go with the Page Plus plan to try and help keep costs down.

I am not a texter or a big Data user but I would like to be able to get/find directions or a place to eat, cheap diesel, etc on occasion while I am out on the road.

so the page plus 5mb might do me fine, BUT, phone features is playing a bigger role right now...I think...

HTC Vogue Likes:

1) Fully customizable - thanks all xda'ers

2) I don't have to have a Data Plan !!

3) WinMo 6.5.x

4) CDMA

5) Titanium interface

6) bluetooth

7) Not in a contract

HTC Vogue Dislikes:

1) Indoor cell signal reception [ walk 3 feet look out window... see my tower ] [ stand sideways on one leg with hand over head pointing elbow holding aluminum foil,.. still spotty signal...!!!] [dang tin can building I work in?!?!? ]

2) Manila interface

3) No wireless

So what do I want? .. ...In a phone that is...:D

1) Wifi, bluetooth, and GPS

2) Signal Reception indoors

3) 6.5 or Android , as long as my clock doesn't look like it's from the 70's

4) No Keyboard preferred - thinner is better ... not a texter

5) Customizable interface/ apps

6) prefer no Contract term

I just heard about the Droid X,

but I have been thinking about the HTC Incredible for a while now..

Also the:

Motorola Droid

HTC Imagio Whitestone

Samsung SCH-i920 Omnia II

Am I over-thinking it since I am not a big net/video/text user?

I'm kind of leaning toward the Motorola Droid and a Page Plus Plan

Verizon has the Motorola Droid: buy one get one for $150 with agreement...

but I'm sure I could find some if I needed to.

It looks like there are some good mods for the Droid which will help keep overall costs down as I will be buying 2 phones ?:(? .. and then go with the Page Plus Plan

Any recommendations would be cool... THANKS ...

If you want a keyboard (which you stated you didn't) go with the Touch Pro 2... If you don't want a keyboard go for the HTC Incredible.

I'm not a fan of the Motorola Droid, mainly the keyboard and the older version of Android. :rolleyes: Over priced...IMO.

HTC Incredible

Pros:

FAST AS HELL!

Many Apps...

Cons:

No Keyboard

Android OS (Not a fan, sorry)

Touch Pro 2

Pros:

Great Keyboard

WM 6.5.x

Cons:

Feels like a brick (Which you get used too ;))

Not as many apps as the Android OS

I stuck with windows mobile and went with the Touch Pro 2 and LOVE it! ;) Coming from the Vogue myself I do not regret the choice at all!

Yeah I dont care to have a keyboard, but my wife will ... the only reason I am potentially swayed is the BOGO deal for $150...which I figure If I dont like mine after upgrading I'll sell it and choose another...

I do like windows mobile as I'm familiar with it... and have not tried android , which is a reason for looking to xda'rs

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
If you are gonna stay with your carrier, then... hmm...

The TP2 (at least the Sprint branded one) has the World-Wide capabilities, which means if at any given time you wish to switch to a GSM carrier, you can use that phone.

I heard good things about the Incredible, but you have to like Android for this to even be an option...

There aren't that many new WM devices out there that are thin (not running Android), but I think that the Whitestone (aka Imagio) might just be your best bet for now...

Any Bell Mobilty tetherers still around...?

I haven’t tethered in a long time, not since Nfsfan’s roms were current. I’m a Bell Mobility user with the insanely great $10 unlimited mobile browser, and have never been hit with an overage charge for tethering.

I’ve installed some of the newer roms (brandonledski, Lmiller1708, Barogi44, and egzthunder1 come to mind), but have yet to tether for fear of getting a $1000 phone bill.

Have any Bell Mobility users tethered on any of these awesome new roms? If so which roms? What kind of traffic (browsing, newsgroup binaries, torrents, streaming video...)? How much data did you pull down? And the all important, did you cry and plead with Bell Mobility to remove the data charges?
