[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] BioGhosty:
I take no responsibility if you brick your Vogue

Right now I thought that I should put something like this up so that my fellow Linux users can flash their Vogues without having to try and resort to using WINE or installing Windows, like I tried and failed :)

For this guide I am using Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 so if things differ from your setup then I apologise.

Right on to the guide at hand.

1) Go to the following link and download HTCFlasher: Link

Now the it is a .deb file type so if you aren't using a Debain based Linux Distro then you can get the source code here and compile it from there

2) Now you also need the following file to get HTCFlasher to work properly: Link. Again this is a .deb file and I don't know if you can get the source for it or not but oh well.

3) Right, now that you have those two files you can now install them so to do this you need to go and launch the Terminal and do the following

cd Downloads (I'm assuming here that this is your default download directory)
sudo dpkg -i htcflasher_20080806-1_i386.deb

once you've done that enter your root password - you won't have to do it again

now for the gtkdialog - again do the same as above but with the gtkdialog

sudo dpkg -i gtkdialog_0.7.20-4_i386.deb

Right now after all that is all installed HTCFlasher will be able to be used properly now. Now on to the fun part, flashing your chosen ROM.

For this part I used NFSFAN's WM6.5 Custom ROM although you can use whatever ROM you want.

1) so once you have your ROM all nicely downloaded and un-RAR'd you need to to into Applications -> Accessories -> HTCFlasher

2) click on the little circle next to the option that says "Get Device Info", plug your Vogue in and click ok. Once it's done it's thing a new window will popup, close out of it and next to the Get Device info line will be soomething similar to this

CID : [TELNZ001] - ModelID: [VOGU001]

3) Put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing and holding the power+camera button while pushing in the soft reset button with your stylus. This can be awkward to hold but just find your own way to get it done.

4) Now click on the "Flash NBH file" little circle and click ok. Navigate your way to where you extracted your rom, double click it and a little message will pop up saying flash file '/home/user name/Downloads/RUU_signed.nbh'?

Click ok and let it rip. Should only take a couple of minutes. Once the ROM has been flashed click ok on the popup and then you are back to the main HTCFlasher menu do the next step BUT MAKE SURE YOUR VOGUE IS STILL PLUGGED IN!

5) Right so you are back to the main menu, click on the little circle next to Bootloader cmd prompt and click ok. MAKE SURE YOUR VOGUE IS STILL PLUGGED IN OR THIS WILL NOT WORK!

6) Once the Cmd Prompt has opened which is basically instantly type the following code. Please note that when I write {enter} you press the enter key.

set 16 0 {enter}

task 3 {enter}

Now soft reset your phone and VIOLA!! You have just flashed your Vogue on Linux :) Give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy your shiney new ROM!

A big thanks goes to mrkite38 who gave me that last bit of code. Without his help my Vogue would still be in bootloader mode
