Please before you start yet another thread about when the update is coming, follow the link in your reference article. If you would have, then you would have seen that this was referring to the hero in the UK and not the sprint hero.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i just wanted to make this thread to warn people. my phone just broke. wont turn on. and i have tried everything!!! the same thing happened to mssmison's old phone. and we think its just from flashing so many times that we just wore out the rom. i have probably (no lie) flashed my phone 60 times if not more. so i just wanna let everone know to go easy on the flashing as you may eventually break your phone!!!

i honestly dont think android messed it up i just wore the phone out.

android is not the cause of my phone crashing. so you can flash android to your phone, just dont go all buckwild on it and flash it like a fat guy at dunken donuts
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Wow...

Sorry to hear about that.

Thanks for the heads up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
Sorry to hear that :( So it won't turn on at all, nothing? reboot button does nothing? Stinks man =/

I've noticed my phone sputter a few times when I was flashing, or rebooting, like I'll have to press reboot a few times before it responds. I always wonder how long this thing can possibly endure.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
thanks. yeah its my own fault for flashing like crazy. i do have ord so thats my excuse lol but i think that this thread and tatnai's faqs thread need to be stickied
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yeah its completely dead. wont turn on to save its own life. i just want to help everyone by posting this thread and warning them about flashing to many times. this is by no means warning people about android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
pull the battery, push the power button, put in battery, power button?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Anyway that you can reflash to have it serviced or replaced?

Or if you just take it in and let them know that it died. :)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] j8971:
Please, I am in need of help! I flashed the rom with my 1gb sd card, but when I took it out after booting into the rom, I put my 4gb sd card back in and the phone will not recognize it.:eek: All my apps are on there and that is where I want them to stay. Please help me.:confused:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
im going into sprint on monday and gonna see about getting a replacement. thanks though :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MarkkInNj:
I'lltake it!! How much!? :p

ANd dude.. iwas going to flash today lol but i'm so nervous.. i dont want to screw anything up! and i'm completely stupid with compters and stuff... and i ant to install 1.6 on mysd, but it asks to wipe my system.. so i dont know what to do!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
you can install it to sd. when it asks to wipe system that just means your previous android system. running off of sdcard will in no way mess up windows mobile. and there is nothing wrong with flashing android. i just flashed to much. it was all complicated to me to and i was scared to death aswell. just do some research and read carefully
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MarkkInNj:
Okkk.. i am gonna try running it off the sd.. i got 1.5 working, but wanted 1.6. and okk, i've been reading. i bookmarked some threads too. so hopefully i can fully commit! thank you dude!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
no problem man. myn's build is the best 1.6 build if your looking to move to 1.6. and i should be getting my new replacement phone here in a few weeks and guess what the first thing im gonna do is?......yep, flash android lol but im gonna go light on the flashing this time lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i remember reading awhile back that there carrier had replaced there phone with a new one. cant for life of figure out who. but i was wondering how long it took for it to come in?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MarkkInNj:
Yeahh.. i have myns on my sd! i'm doing it now!

And when i sent mine in (i have verizon) it took 3 days.. lol idk if that helps since your on sprit! haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
no that actually does help. im sure it'll be similar on my end. i was thinking it would be a few weeks atleast!!! but 3 days? i feel a hell of alot better lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MarkkInNj:
Hahah thats good! did you call them? i like calling them better then going into the store, since they are morel likely willing to work with you.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
no im just gonna go in the store on monday. and they will say yes. or else i get a free htc hero or evo lololol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Last November, my Vogue needed repairs.

Went to the Sprint store and the technician said they could not repair it.

So, they ordered another one for me.

Came back to the store 2 days later and got a new (well.. assuming refurbished) unit. But it looked good as new!

Sprint has been really good to me.

Course I've been a customer since 1998.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yeah ive been a customer since 99.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
There use to be a thread over at ppcgeeks that would tell you what phone sprint/verizon were replacing for vogues if they didnt have them.

EDIT: I see a user had got a replacement vogue just 3 weeks or so ago from sprint.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
:O:( but i want a vogue!! lol if they dont give me a vogue then they better give me a hero. do you have a link to that thread?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
you'll get a vogue man!!! lol

[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
There still given people vogues one of my vogues died while i was charging it i took it to the store on Wednesday morning and had another one Thursday night if they can't cut the phone on sprint just sends you another one I did the same thing with my girls Pre when she dropped it in water I just made sure I removed the water sticker before i took it in
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
ok good lol i mean if i can talk them into giving me a hero i'll do it. its getting a 2.1 update sometime soon this year. or i can just root it. but that probably wont happen lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
You still under contract? The hero is $149 w/ contract extension and the samsung moment is also $149 @ wirefly. If you have to pay a discounted price for a replacement vogue you might want to consider just renewing.Too bad you don't have VZW. Eris is free for VWZ and the moto droid is 49.99 w/ contract extension through wirefly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yeah just renewed it about 6 months ago.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
hey guys i have a quick question. when i take my phone in and they say they can fix it(which im sure they cant). once they turn the phone on they will see that i dont have windows mobile on it. will they say anything?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Depends on who it is. I doubt they will be able to fix it tho. Some ppl care some dont. If they want to they can void your warranty if they see anything other than wm 6.0/6.1 They will try to turn it on, switch the battery. If it dont turn on they will replace it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yeah ive tried everything i could think of. pressing power 1000x. trying a new battery. mssmison gave me the idea to stick it in the freezer but that didnt work lol leaving it pluged in. i could go on. but thanks for the reply man :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
No problem. If you can't turn it on I'm sure they won't be able to either. SO why are you waiting until Monday? I would have been down @ VZW the next day :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
lol just a little tight on money and there closed on sundays. i know i know its only $50 lol but i sell insurance and my insurance license expired and i renewed it but its taking forever to come back. so im just really tight on money at the moment
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
just looked and the hero went down to 99.99
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
You shouldn't have to pay for the replacement if they can't turn it on they will just order another phone
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
really? why not?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
Which insurance do you have the $3 or the $7 I never paid for a replacement
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
im not sure. im on the family plan and i was just told that i have insurance and its gonna cost $50 to replace
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
I have the $7 and I don't pay for replacement take it to the store like you was and tell them your phone won't cut on and they will try to cut the phone on and then should replace the phone because if it can't cut on they can't troubleshoot they will automatically replace it no questions asked this has worked for me on my touch in January and my girls Pre in February both wouldn't cut on I had to take her water sticker off
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
oh ok thanks man :) i'll find out which one i have
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
No problem I always like to help when I can
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi,

Not the same problem because my phone works but can not enter bootloader mode. Leaves on each reset view only first bootscreen... And nothing else.

Impossible to flash therefore I can use it...

Maybe someone have an idea ?

Thanks.

Cheers
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
just got back from sprint :) lets see how long it takes to get my phone
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
Did you have to pay?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] egzthunder1:
If I am not mistaken the NAND is supposed to have enough life for 100000 flashes (or so I read). Always sad to hear about a good phone die... :(

Maybe you can keep it for spares (always usefull). I have flashed most of my phones much, much more than that I they have never died on me (thankfully), but you might have just found a cure for ORD :D. I still think it might have something to do with messing with the NAND (going back and forth from WM to Android), but that is only an assumption.

Again, sorry to hear that.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yeah a $50 deductable
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
no still no cure for ORD lol as soon as i get it back im flashing to android haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
You will be up and flashing soon glad to here they are sending you another one
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
thanks man :)well i'm just assuming there going to send me another. the phone would not come on no matter what. so i'm just guessing there gonna say they cant fix it and send me a new one. at least i hop so cause if they turn it on and see that android id flashed to it then i'm screwed. but then again i had to pay $50 so they better take care of it lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
yeah they should but don't worry when one of my vogues died they couldn't get it back on
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
as long as you pay the deductible they could honestly care less

ive returned a phone with android running and i didnt hear a peep from them

all i saw was 50 dollars removed from my bank account -___- lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i do have another question. since im more than likely getting a new vogue, will it come with a new screen protector?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
im on verizon and they shipped a brand new vogue and everything that came in the box

if they ship you a brand new one, then whatever came in the box should also be present

verizon excluded a screen protector :mad:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
lol i need the screen protector and thats it. mine got all messed up last year so i had to take it off. since then my stylus has royally f'd up my screen
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
you use the stylus with android??
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
for the keyboard. the keyboard in android is still to small for me. but before android is when my screen started to get scratches
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
oh wow

i got really used to using my fingers

all i use the stylus for is soft resets and switching it into bootloader mode lol

(suddenly gets self-conscious about girl fingers >____<)

Asurion's the insurance company. He's asking whether you'll be getting a new/refurb vogue, or whether you'd be getting another model... ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
I've never used a screen protector and my screen is scratchless. I do keep it in the cheap htc pouch it came with when not in use. Although I did switch to my spare stylus a while ago

Possible replacement

A month or so ago, I went into my fav Sprint store, a corporate store, with gps problems on my Touch. My fav Sprint tech, after consulting with his manager, offered me a Diamond. I said, "no." I wanted a phone that I could put an SD card into. So, he ordered me another Touch. (Mind you, I had had a couple of previous problems. That's why they offered me the Diamond.) When the refurbed Touch came in, I couldn't boot Android from Haret. Some people say that you just can't run Android on some Touches. I took it back and got my old Touch back. Somehow the gps started to work again. I have had gps problems on and off, not only with my Touch, but just this week with my Hero. (Yeah, I jumped ship to a Hero. It was all because of the work on Android on this forum.) So, I'm thinking it is a Sprint problem, or maybe weather-related, or it's that brown, dwarf star that people are worried about on the internet, or?

So, maybe you'll be offered a Diamond. I'd stay with the Touch, if you can. Development continues for the Diamond. Check out the threads for the Touch Pro for Android, both here and at PPCGeeks, as the Diamond uses the same builds. I have a TP and I can tell you that Android is running MUCH better on our old Touches. There are a ton of devs working on the Touch, not so many on the TP/Diamond. Also, part of the problem with the TP/Diamond is that there are about 6 or more models that they have to make things work on. They also have only Eclair, no Donut. Last I heard, BT didn't work, nor camera. Also, last I knew, they didn't have any NAND build for the Diamond/TP. Things might have improved by now, though.

I would also suggest going into a Corporate store vs working with Assurion. I've never been charged at the store. Assurion will probably charge you...Sorry to have been so long-winded. Just telling you my story. YMMV.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cbaty08:
Wow, that is some great info there Sally, Thank you!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sak211l:
This is the truth you can also talk to advance tech support for sprint they always send me free phones and they actually sent me a new in the box phone with every accessory touch and told me to just send back what I didn't need and i never paid for a phone and for the record I have dropped to phones in liquid one in the toilet and the other in some juice while driving
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
I think I bricked it.

I flashed the latest dzo nbh and it was just a black screen with the hardware button lights on. I tried several times even with different nbhs. Now it wont even finish installing the nbh's. Gets stuck at 33%. I also tried flashing a windows mobile nbh and it gets stuck at 1%. Now What???

This sucks. I had alot of stuff i was working on:(:(:(

I'm not sure i want to get a replacement. My contract is up in a couple months.

Looks like all my stuff will either be put on hold or will no longer be updated by me:(

this xp driver allowed me to install the android nbh successfully but it was still nothing but a black screen and hardware button lights. It still gets stuck on 1% when i try to flash wm nbh. But the driver does allow usb to show up on the list.

After i open up the mtty program and choose usb, i just put in the cmd right? After i do it says cmd underneith it, so i typed the cmd again next to cmd line. It doesnt look like its doing anything. Tried a couple times.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I think the #1 reason that bad flashes occur is because the phone maybe in a unstable state.

For example, when GPS freezes on my Kaiser using Android, the crash can carry itself even when the phone is off. Turning off the phone and then turning it back on will still have problems, due to the frozen GPS device.

The only safe way to flash a device is to unplug the battery all together and drain the power by holding the power button. Only at this point is the phone safe to flash. If I tried flashing my device while the GPS hardware was still hanging, there's no telling what could happen.

I've had a bad flash before too, and I thought I was boned. Was flashing a bunch of radios, to try and see which is the best. Suddenly, it couldn't flash past a percent and the phone wouldn't boot.

The only way I fixed it was reverted my phone back to it original rom from T-Mobile. Extracting the T-Mobile rom with 7zip, and then renaming it's .nbh file so I could flash it with my SD card.

I also seriously doubt flashing the phone 140X times could cause it as well. More then likely the phone hardware went dead from all the stress from unclean power sources. Like plugging it into your PC, then power outlet, and then your car could wear the hardware really fast.

If your PCs power supply is struggling, you maybe causing power spikes to your phone. On top of that, your home power could have spikes as well. Car adapters are the worse, cause if the car isn't 100% working correctly, it can cause massive power spikes.

Then all of the sudden you're flashing the phone and it dies cause the hardware wore out too much, but certainly not from flashing. It would take nearly a thousand flashes to do that kind of harm.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Hi Incubus26jc,

I just flashed for the first time a few days ago.

I did not use my PC via USB.

Instead I used other option:

1) get an SD card that is 1GB or less.

2) Format it to FAT32

3) Drop the "voguimg-240x320-eclair-21-05-10.nbh" file onto the SD card and rename it the file to "VOGUIMG.nbh".

4) Put device into Bootloader mode (Power + Camera + Stylus in reset hole)

5) Once in bootloader mode, the bootloader will see the .nbh file and will prompt you to proceed with the install. During the install, you will see a progress bar.

At the end, you will see a message "Update Complete" "Update Successfull".

or something to that effect.

No need for USB drivers or connecting to a PC.

Hope this works for you.
