You my friend have a CDMA HTC Touch which is NOT an Elf, but a Vogue.
Head over to the Vogue forums here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=389
or the forums at ppcgeeks has a nice community as well for the CDMA Touch -> http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

Hi,
I'm just wondering where you bought your vogue ? I live in Germany and I've never heard something like a htc vogue. There isn't one in ebay.de..
All I know is that there is a HTC Touch. But nothing else ?
Does it have another Name in Germany ?
Could the German Vogue also boot linux ?
HTC released the Touch, which is the official name, but was released in both CDMA and GSM models.
Vogue: CDMA
Elf: GSM
okay then, but is it possible to start linux like on the vogue, just on the touch ?
I really like the touch, maybe I'll get one..
It might work, not sure, check through the Linux thread.
Hey guys i need some help,
I'm looking for the latest original roms for my HTC Niki P500 (Touch Dual) on the UK Orange network.
Does anyone know where i can get the latest original debranded roms.
Also where can i get an unlocking code for the HTC Niki.
thanks in advance
Hi there, I used OliPro's Nike Unlocker (which I googled) to unlock my HTC Touch Dual on Orange UK. It cost £5.40 but is well worth it IMO. I now have an O2 sim card in it.
What network do you want to use on the phone? You'll have to let me know how the signal is when using a SIM from a new network.
How did unlocking it go?
Unfortunalty i didn't get it unlocked, but i'm still trying to find official Roms for the device to either debrand or upgrade to WinMo 6.1.
Tried contacting HTC and got no information what so ever and Orange customer services guided me through the process of finding the relevent Orange webpage but the Handset isn't listed.
so i'm back to square one!!
thanx anyway
Hi there Robbiejuk08
I am new to this forum and have never seen a forum like this before for people asking questions and not getting any reply. Anyway as far as I know you need to get phone unlocked first. Then you will need a serial number from a generic htc. In other words one that has came from htc and not orange or any other operators. Then you go to the htc site and you will be able to upgrade phone with the generic serial number. But as I have found out it is impossiable to get generic serial number in the forums as people just are not prepared to give you their serial number.
Hahaha, I pushed the thank you button for you,
First of all, welcome,
It's great that you are willing to help people, that is the spirit, but unfortunaly this post was more then two years old
But you did it with the right intention so thumbs up.
Have fun,
been searching for answers whether the bell touch dual can use the bell touch vogue roms?
Currently I have the bell touch and have been flashing my touch with various available roms.
Can we use the same bell vogue roms for the touch dual?
I had a Touch Dual, and tried flashing the OEM HTC Touch GPS ROM, and it didn't work. The ROM upgrade utility said that my device was incompatable. For all intents and purposes, they're the same phone, save for the keypad. But I guess the ROM is different enough to negate being able to cross-flash with the regular Touch. For this reason (and the cheaper data package), I exchanged my Dual for a Touch, and I hardly miss the keypad. Although I did prefer the dark grey/black colour scheme on the Dual.
Thanks MerkurMan....
I guess that it is it in a nutshell
1. no roms availability since most roms are for the touch vogue
2. bell mobility changes your $7 data plan to the $30 if you switch...
not worth the switch for just the keyboard......

use that area of site to get roms for the touch dual aka nike.
There is a reason each phone has its own section, roms are made for each phone. Touch Dual even though it appears the same the software that WE use on the Vogue wont work on it. Very similar options are available to you though so its not a big issue.
Ok ive had the P3050 Vogue 100 touch for a while now.
I bought a used Sprint MP6900SP Vogu100 and kinda working - broken touch screen - everything else seems to work.
But my question is can i flash it with a telus rom?
I bought it so i can mess with the windows without wrecking mine.
Or is there a generic rom?
And another question is that it doesnt seem to be able to have a sim card put in, does this mean its locked to Sprint?
CDMA phones are locked to the provider, there is no way around it as the carriers register the Serial numbers and if it isn't in their system they won't add it for you.
As for roms, just grab the telus rom from the htc website, otherwise check the upgrades forum.
Should have done your homework re: switching it onto Telus.
Thanx for the info, tried searching "switching it onto Telus" but could not find anything.
I also bought a new touch screen and its not as clear as the original, do you know if it will clear up or will it stay that way?
And I put my touch screen on the Sprint and everything works on it but the Sprint will not accept anything bigger that a 512 mb microsd card the 1 gb card from my telus doesnt work in the Sprint either but worked in the Telus, is there a problem with the Sprint phones (and i flashed the latest Sprint rom on it)?
I bought a 8 gb microsd for my Telus and works fine.
Thanx D
Ok i think I fixed the microsd problem. - posted a new thread for that.
And i tried searching for fuzzy touch screen and cloudy digitizer and no luck.

What happened is probably that by upgrading to stock, the phone got reprovisioned for the original carrier, which is Alltel. More than likely, your PRL got replaced by that of Alltel's so all you need to do is to flash the PRL for your carrier, which you will need to find.
Edit: I feel good today, so I will save you the google time. The following page is a fantastic repository of PRL files. search for your carrier in there and download the latest one that suits your needs:
