Got You...

Okay, Here we go.. First press and hold down the trackball, then while doing that press and hold the power button. Now, here you should see a white screen with android's on skateboards... Choose the one that says bootloader, by pressing the power key as that selection is highlighted.

Now, Here you should see your bootloader.. Go To Cyanogen Site and thread for 5.0.3 and download the 5.0.3 rom, the gappspassion ere36b 2 file, and I once your done your good to go...

So this is how it goes. Download Files... Press Trackball and hold power.. As soon as you see the screen come up, Press the power button but assure that Bootloader is highlited in blue so thats the direction you'll go. Now after that, use the vol- button and scroll to revovery, once in blue and highlighted, press the power and your on your way to the best part...

Once here, you'll see a black screen with green letters, here choose, usb-toggle, press the trackball and you should see it come up as a disk on your cpu.. From here copy the files i told you to download.. TO THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD, MEANING THE WHITE OPEN SPACE, NOT A FOLDER. Once your done with that, eject the device and on the device press the trackball, this will get you out of the usb toggle.Now, scroll with the trackball to flash from sd..

Okay In this order.. FOLLOW THE ORDER...

Flash The 5.0.3 rom first, first do a wipe, (scroll to wipe/factory restore, wipe dalvik cache) now flash the rom, it's easy you'll know.. Once thats done, it'll say done... Flash the gapps-ere36b file.. once that is done... it'll say done... it will land on "Reboot" if it dosn't press the vol- unitl you do see it. Once you reboot your good...

You probably deleted the boot by mistake. Remeber this is just as sensitive as a MAC so be sure to listen to what I said.. You have one more task which is to flash the Radio, but your ok with the one on Cyanogens rom.. When ready PM me and I will continue to help you...

When I highlight bootloader and click on it I get up top in red Fastboot USB and then I get an error sound. It seems that my phone is not being read by my computer when connected via USB. Is there any other way to fix this at all? There are no actions that happen, I am unable to do anything.
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Your Right.. On Your Way...

Okay, So you did the right thing.. Your not doing anything wrong.. Where it says fastboot usb in read it means your still in fastboot you haven't went to bootloader. Press the power button while bootloader is highlighted in blue, once you do that you should end up on the second screen whre you scroll down with the vol- button to highlight recovery.. once there press the power button.. From Here continue on where I left off above..

Don't worry buddy, almost there, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR NEXUS, so don't panic there little one. You'll be on your way showing everyone diff roms and riding the android wave like your stupid... LOL
[Nexus One General] baileymeadows1:
It is not working. Fastboot appears in Red. When ipress the power button when bootloader is in blue it just takes me back a screen.
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Huh?

Sorry, I was busy in the Modaco Section which i hope you get to it...

Alright.. Fastbootusb is suppose to be highlighted in red when first reach the fastboot screen i.e. skateboards... Here is where bootloader is highlighted in blue. Here is where you click the power button and it will take you to the next screen. *Here* if you just press the power button again it does take you back a screen to the start, but, YOUR suppose to use the vol- (down) button and scroll to recovery. Then press the power button up top. Then you'll see the screen wipe down and from there your on your way...

This section is recovery.. (the black screen Green letters) Here is where I told you flash the roms.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ovigt71:
Hi all, maybe is a dump question but I like to know where my apps goes in system and if is possible to copy from that directory in another one, in my computer in order next time after wiping to not download again. thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bajo76:
Your device have to be rooted. The app´s are in /data/app/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ovigt71:
yes. is already rooted, but I cant copy any apps from system.... i'm using androidscreencast....:mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bajo76:
try it with adb

adb pull /data/app/ /your_folder_on_c:/

a simple way is to use the app rootexplorer, there you can copy and paste the files to your sd card

root explorer
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
please elaborate on step 8. what are we extracting here
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MikeMurphy:
Great post. Just some clarifications I thought would be helpful.

1. reminder to all - you can use SDHC cards for this, those being greater than 2gb, but make sure you format them to FAT32.

5. in some instances there are androidupdate.tar files that go with the build too, in which case that too needs to be placed in the same andboot folder

8. clarification, you'll be replacing the RUU_signed.nbh file with the 320 nbh file you download. So, you'll have to delete the ruu_signed.nbh that came with the update utility, and rename your downloaded 320 nbh to ruu_signed.nbh and place it in the update utility folder so it uses that file instead.

9. to enter bootloader mode you have to press those 3 buttons down for about 2 seconds, not just a quick tap. This bootloader is your failsafe fallback to reinstall if your operating system goes funky.

13. If volume up isn't working for you, try holding down the button in the middle of the directional pad. The last nbh file I used required this instead of the awkward volume-up. Regardless, be sure to do this quickly as soon as the phone reboots itself.

16. After the install process is complete you'll be brought back to the same menu you arrived at by holding down the button on startup, you may then select "update" or "upgrade" from that same menu to activate the androidupdate.tar file you may have copied to your andboot folder. Once done, just select "exit" or reset.

17. He's not kidding, first boot can take a very long time.

If you run into problems and just need a functional phone for a bit, download the nfsfan rom (or any other custom roms), put phone into bootloader and run the nfsfan rom utility from your windows desktop. Don't reinstall a locked carrier-specific rom that you might have used to update your radios otherwise I understand your Coke bootloader gets wiped out and you'll have to do that again. Alternatively, there is an older, dummy-proof Android ION build that will install the entire ION build through the rom update utility to your nand at http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2009-12-17/androidinstall.zip/download

I'm no super-expert so if I have any misinformation in my post, or there are other shortcuts, please feel free to edit it or let me know and i'll modify it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
where is this file?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MikeMurphy:
You're looking for the vogue 320 files, not the vogue eclair 320 files unless you're installing an eclair (2.x) build.

The .nbh files are usually referenced on the build thread in the forums, but if they are not head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ and download the latest.

(NOTE: I suggest you run at least the Feb 23 build at http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D as it enables the openGL support)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
the latest isnt there its here

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
now now, gents, you're both right - dzo's latest are in one spot, vilord's latest are in the other, and they don't always contain everything the other does. :) vilord mentioned trying to get them in one spot but I don't know if there's been any progress on that.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] razorr69:
it keeps hanging up at the progress bar and both stay at 0% it looks like the active sync is gone once in bootloader it goes gray and then its gone from tray in bottom right corner. it seems like once in bootloader mode i have no active sync connection it just hangs Then the updater goes into its recovery any help please
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
go into bootloader before plugging your phone in by pressing and holding power button, camera button, and then use stylus to hit reset button.

once you get into bootloader, plug your phone in and then run the rom update
[Touch CDMA Android Development] razorr69:
that is the way that i have been doing it as per the instructions, Any other suggestions? I just did a hard reset and restored the phone to out of the box if that helps out any.

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
the only reason i said that is because active sync should have nothing to do with it. i dont think active sync should come up or shut down during this process. Do you have the RUU_signed.nbh named properly?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MikeMurphy:
Activesync has nothing to do with updates via the rainbow screen bootloader and will not sync.

You have already install the Coke bootloader? What OS are you running?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thehelios:
Thank you so much. Been needing something like this since the other NAND tutorials for Android didn't tell you what files to use or had outdated/non-working links.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] razorr69:
6.1. I followed the inst.

put the tar in andboot folder on sd

renamed the voug img file put it in the androidinstall folder on my desktop

put the rest of the files from myns donut into the androidinstall folder

then bootloader plug in usb then rom updater

everything goes fine intil it hangs on the progress bar at 0%
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MikeMurphy:
What OS are you running on your computer?

The ROM update utility really just installs the .nbh file which is somewhat of a front-end loader mechanism. Once that file is installed, then the phone resets, you hold down a button and you enter into the menu that lets you actually install android from the androidinstall.tar file in your andboot folder.

Here is a fail-proof method that I think will resolve your goofy androidinstall folder.

Download this

http://74.53.45.2/~evadmin/nfsfan/Public Releases/Vogue 6.5/ROMS/NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.rar

Then replace the .nbh file with the vogue 320 nbh. Then, run it when your phone is already in the bootloader screen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Excellent post :)

I'm linking this from Warm Donut on the first post.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] razorr69:
Thank you will try it now. Running xp pro on my desktop
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MikeMurphy:
XP Pro always worked well for me. I'm running Win7 x64 ultimate and recently my phone was recognized as a USB Sync Device in the bootloader mode which doesn't work for the rom update utility. This was occurring both with and without the installation of the MS Mobile Device Center app. To solve this I installed XP Mode and attached the usb device to the XP Mode and it recognized correctly as the Qualcomm MSM thing.

Just an FYI.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] razorr69:
when i go into my computer it just says mobile device
[Touch CDMA Android Development] razorr69:
same result error 262 update error. i dont get it this is so simple. 1 of the 4 steps is establish a connection with active sync dont know how to do that once im in bootloader mode it's like there is no connection but the phone shows the progress bar

Sprint HTC Touch (Vogue) Stock ROM file?

Hello,

I've been running Android 100% from my SD card since December. In the last month, I have added 2 EXT2 partitions and it runs smooth! Have not once had to go back to windows.

I have already unlocked my phone using "2.31 CoKe" HardSPL.

Now getting ready to flash Android into the Vogue's memory (known as running from NAND). However, if my phone breaks, Sprint will not cover the repairs if I have flashed a different ROM on the device.

My questions:

1) Where can I find the Stock ROM file (for Sprint Vogue) that I can flash back onto my Vogue? Just want to have a back-up/recovery plan before I flash Android.

2) Once I flash the Stock ROM, Do I need some other install to "RE-Lock" the phone?

Been loving Android on this device!

Not going back to WinMo.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
I've got the coke 2.31 too.

I've tried 5 computers at my house and I can't get any of them to even active sync - not sure if this is because I'm using NFSFans 6.1 rom - it shouldn't be though, right?

any ideas?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Might want to double check to make sure "Allow USB Connections" is checked under Connection Settings in ActiveSync.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Thanks, been there, done that. Also used the Win7 "windows device manager" or whatever they call it, which is by default USB... Tried Win7 64 bit, Win7 32 bit.. ugg. God, I want to get android on this phone so I can stop fargin with WinMo that don't want to talk to Windows... OH - Also unchecked the "advanced networking option" on the phone... made no diff.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] br125:
you do not need active sync, put your phone in bootloader (power + camera + hold reset hole) then plug into computer and run RUU to flash the .nbh...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Bootloader works, detects the connection - goes to "USB", running the RUU program gets ERROR 260.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
There is the other option where there is no need to connect a computer.

Just copy the .NBH file to the SD card and rename the .NBH file to voguimg.nbh. Put it on the root of the SD Card. BTW, I've heard that the SD card must be less than 2Gb.

Then put into BootLoader mode. The Bootloader will detect the NBH and ask you if you want to proceed with install.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] br125:
does your bootloader read coke 2.31 on it? I thought that error was from not being unlocked...

either way I would suggest running the 2.31 unlocker again and repeating the process
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
This will read the NBH and then install android from the SD card (myns warm doughnut - that's the thread that got me over to this one...)??

Yes, it reads 2.31. I never "relocked" the phone. Ran it for over a year with NFSFans 6.1 rom for windows....

I might have to try that nbh trick!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
your sdcard has to be completely empty except for the voguimg.nbh for it to work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
what about the andboot folder that you need in the top message of this folder? How will it get the TAR?

also - you say in your sig MMS does not work? Have you run Handcent? can you do threaded messaging? picturemail? The camera works, but not camcorder?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] br125:
the .nbh has nothing to do with the andboot folder

In fact, you could have a system installed and flashing a new .nbh would have no affect on the system or data.

After you flash the .nbh, on re-boot, about 2 seconds in it will say "hold down center pad" or something of the likes.. when you do that it will take you to the android menu where you can choose where to install your system and data from the andboot folder
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
False. I've done it with the andboot folder on the card and the androidinstall.tar file ready to go(although I wouldn't recommend you leave important files on the card) . Once you flash the nbh, your phone restarts and you have to hold down the d-pad to then install the system.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
are you sure??? cause ive been flashing the nbh files via sdcard since february and ive tried atleast 100 times with something else in the sdcard besides the nbh file and it will not read it. im just saying, ive tried just the nbh and ive tried the nbh with other files on the card and it would only work with just the nbh
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
Try not having any files on the root, only in the andboot folder. What do you do when installing a new ROM? Do you have to swap SD cards?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Racky:
I've tried to install Android via NAND using the

[Android] NAND Boot Method for Polaris: FLASH IT!

, but after flashing the .nbh file, the install screen won't apear. The phone vibrates twice and a full screen of colored points apear... after that it's "dead". After this I must remove the battery and place it back that the phone to start again. I have to mention that the .nbh file's name is " polaimg-panel3-320-22-03-10.nbh ". Some advices please !

L.E. SOLVED..I had to use POLAIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH..Stupid me :|
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yes i swap to my empty 512mb sdcard. so i just put the nbh file in the andboot folder?

edit... didn't work. tried it with the nbh file in the andboot folder, no go. then tried it with the nbh file in the root of my sdcard with nothing but folders, no go there either. it'll only work for me if the card is empty.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
No I mean make sure the .nbh is the only file outside of a folder on the root of the sdcard.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
So on my sprint HTC Touch (vogue), I put the renamed NBH, and a folder called andboot. In the andboot I put the warm doughnut TAR file.

I then boot the unit into "recovery" (coke downloader) and it loads the nbh.

then I reboot, and hold the dpad down?

does it then automatically load the android TAR?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
While the Linux screen is running numbers there will be a prompt to hold down the d-pad. Go ahead and hold it down as soon as it restarts as to not miss it. Then select to install system to nand or not. I don't know anything about the other options, I've only done NAND.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Thanks.

will try this later when he gets home from work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
didnt work
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slugsly:
I'm a newb for real but I'm pretty sure the .nbh file is meant to be used with the RomUpdateUtility connected to the phone with USB. It doesn't get put in the andboot directory. The only thing I've had to put in the andboot drectory is androidupdate.tar or androidinstall.tar.

Or the nbh file can be in te root of your sdcard:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] foolosophy:
I've been having an issue during the "Hold down the Volume Up or D Pad Button" part. No matter how long I hold either one, nothing happens. It just shows me typing ^@
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unit68:
just tried running the .nhb file from sd card cuz my usb doesnt always work and this method does infact work..heres what i did...

1. format 2gb or less sd card to fat32

2. create folder on sd named andboot

3. place androidinstall.tar inside folder

4. place voguimg-240x320...nbh file in root of sdcard * not in andboot folder

5. rename "voguimg-240x320...nbh" to "VOGUIMG.nbh"

6. enter bootloader mode and continue with install

appstosd. you nees to partition your sdcard to ext2 though
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unit68:
ok thanks i'll give it a go later today

* i tried the app2sd application and it keeps telling me that the sd card needs to be formatted and it makes me move a slider around to size the partitions. i click apply and it then has a button that says reboot. if i click the button nothing happens, if i manually reboot my phone the app2sd application loops and i have to format the card again....

i've also formatted the card on my pc using paragon partition manager. and created 7gb fat32 primary partition, 700mb ext2 primary part and 32 mb linux swap part...

but when i run the app2sd app it still tells me i need to format

:(

any ideas?

am i missing something?

Hi there, thank you so much for the tutorial, but I cannot figure out how the hell to navigate. I keep clicking into menus but then cant figure out how to get back to the main menu

Oddly enough the power button at the top of my touch is no longer the power button; but the red hangup button is now my screen off/power button

How do I exit out of a menu and go back! I can't even get out of my e-mails screen once I access it.. I'm so confused. And I'm getting stuck in screen calibration and cant figure out how the hell to exit the program!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] duckdown:
something must be wrong, i for the life of me can't figure out how to get out of these menu's. I've tried holding buttons, double pressing buttons, everything

You see the bottom right button to the right of the D-pad? That's supposed to be the "EXIT" button or "hangup call" or "cancel" button, but now its turning the bloody screen off. The power button brings up a keyboard, but how do I access the menu to get OUT of there
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
well, you two most likely figured it out right after you posted (or at least I hope you did), but if you didn't here is a picture that explains how Vogue buttons work in Android...

Also, pretty much any button wakes my phone in Android on the Vogue (but I think that is just the specific ROM I am using). I hope that clarifies it.
