Newbie Questions.. My vogue will be here tomorrow!! - Touch CDMA General

Hello All,
I'm new to this forum but have been lurking for about 3 weeks. My current Plan was up (Verizon) So I was in the market for a new phone. I wanted to get a smart phone as I could really use the PIM features. After Looking around alot, I decided to go with the xv6900 (Vogue) because it was free!
Now, This will be my first windows mobile phone, but I'm very tech savy and computer literate. I want some opinions on 6.5 roms and the like, as I've never flashed a phone before (Flashed multiple BIOS) and I was wondering if I should try registry tweaks first. I just want to make it "snappy". I plan on installing that iphone like slider (what's it called?) and a different keyboard (any reccomendations?)
thanks for all your help in advance & keep up the great work w/ android!

I got mine a month ago. After using 6.1 for two weeks, I updated to NFSFAN's 6.5 rom because it was more finger friendly, some new and better features, and I would definitely recommend doing the same.
If not, you can keep 6.1 and there's plenty of interfaces to mess around with. I like in the following order: Winterface w/ funcontact and SMS-Chat, PointUI 1.5, M2D/Manilla 2D (bit it definitely slows down the games), PointUI 2, SPB Shell, and there's some other ones but not as user friendly and takes a fair amount of tweaking and reading. If you intend to keep 6.1, I would also install Fingersuite 1.1 to make the menus finger friendly and FingerKeyB keyboard.
I just switched to 6.5 to keep it simple and mostly integrated well.
How to switch to 6.5 (~20min):
1. Update official 6.1 Verizon update to get latest radio. Try making a call. If it doesn't work, dial *228 (i think, if not search), then press 1, and it should re program the phone to work.
2. Use 2.31 unlocker to unlock the phone. Follow this FAQ but DON'T extract the unlocker file like the FAQ says. I kept trying to and the unlocker ROM wouldn't even start. This part was the most confusing and time consuming t figure out.
3. Once done unlocking, download NFSFAN's 6.5 v10 rom, extract and run the RUU exe update utility file. The picture on the left won't be the Vogue but it's ok.
4. It'll restart and you should a brand new htc/6.5 screen. Do a hard reset by pressing red and green button while using your stylus to poke the hole on the bottom. Tweak as necessary using this FAQ
As an FYI, you don't have to do the SMS160 tweak because it was changed in v10.

Wow man,
Thank you very much for the tips. So to get the newest radio i need to dial *228 (or whatever the code is) and press 1? or your saying, Get the newest radio, and if it doesn't call, do that? Where can I get the latest radio? In this forum? I don't see it on verizons site or HTCs.
One question, IF I upgrade to 6.5 and Decide to return the phone, I can reflash to the stock rom but can I relock it? I just want to make sure if I need to return it, They won't give me flack.

Official xv6900 6.1 update available here. It will upgrade the firmware on the phone plus the antenna software (radio). Everytime you upgrade the radio, you may have to dial *228 for the radio to sync with the wireless towers again. You can always test a call before dialing *228 if anything. Or if it still doesn't work, giving a call to Verizon and they'll be able to help, just tell them you updated your phone.

Yes, you can always re-lock your phone. Don't know too much about the process though, if its possible to brick your phone, or if Verizon even cares when you send it back. A search for "relock warranty" should do it.
Also, here's a Rewrite up of the instructions above since I just did my friend's phone, it's still fresh in my head:
How to switch to 6.5 on HTC Touch/Vogue/xv6900 Verizon specific (~20min):
1. Install Activesync to your computer here. Not sure if it's installed by default. If not, just download. Plug in your phone and you should be able to tell because some green thing pops up.
2. Download official 6.1 Verizon update to get latest radio. Plug your phone in, run the file, and it's self explanatory. When done, try making a call. If it doesn't work, dial *228, then press 1, and it should re program your phone to work with the cell towers.
3. Download 2.31 unlocker to unlock the phone, available on the first two links. Run the file. It'll tell you to plug your phone in so plug it in and hit enter. The phone screen changes to a rainbow color now. Computer will tell you to disconnect and reconnect the phone. Do so. Then follow the instructions on computer, check the box, keep hitting next. You'll see a 0% go to 100% pretty quick on the computer and your phone, and your phone will restart. Unplug phone. It'll load into 6.1 as normal. Hold down power+camera+stylus hole button on phone, you should see a rainbow screen, and the words 2.31 unlocker which indicates you've successfully unlocked it.
4. Disable activesync by going to activesync, File>Connection Settings> uncheck the checkbox "Allow USB connections". (I forget if this step is necessary if it's even during this part, but just to be safe).
5. Download NFSFAN's 6.5 v10 rom. Plug your phone (with rainbow and 2.31 unlocker still on screen). Bottom display should change from serial to USB. Run the RUU exe update utility file from NFSFAN's file. In the program, the picture on the left won't be the Vogue but it's ok. Then follow the instructions, check the box, keep hitting next, you'll see a 0% go to 100% on the computer and phone, but now takes about 5 minutes since it's a large file.
6. Phone will restart itself and you should a brand new htc/6.5 screen. Just be patient as it loads. Do a hard reset anytime by pressing red and green button while using your stylus to poke the hole on the bottom. Hit the center big button, then the green button. You'll see a status bar and once it's done will reset it self. Let it load and follow on screen instructions. First time loading always takes a bit of time but after that it's fairly quick on any reset. Note, when calibrating the stylus, try to tap as lightly as you can even though it says to press firm. Windows uses this to calibrate how hard you should press your screen so if you press it too hard, your fingers will have to smash to screen to pick up anything. Tap it as lightly as you can and it would be easier to navigate with your finger. You can always recalibrate in settings.
7. (Optional) Do stpe 5 and 6 again. Codybear, a very experienced user on this forum, says he's never had any bugs/problems others seems to get because he flashes the ROM 2-3 times. He'll flash it, go through the customizations, flash it, go through the customizations, flash it, go through the customizations.
8. Tweak as necessary using this FAQ.
As an FYI, you don't have to do the SMS160 tweak because it was changed in v10.
If anybody wants to copy this to a sticky/wiki/faq anywhere, please feel free to do so. I hate when go to valuable information gets lost.

XDA II: Phone not working anymore and where to repair in US?

Not quite sure what the issue is with this one. Back in the beginning of the year my XDA II fell from waist height when the carry case snap popped open (notebook bag brush across the front catching on the flap). The only noticeable problem after that was that the power button no longer works, so I have to power it on by pressing the phone or address book buttons etc.
About a month and a half after that incident the phone suddenly just stopped getting signal. I was using the standard shipping firmware with a few apps. Soft reset, hard reset both failed to fix the issue, the phone simply will not pick up the network. Interestingly enough if I play with the phone settings and go through the process of manually selecting a network the phone WILL pick up available networks in the area (this kills my idea that the GSM radio failed altogether). For now I've had to switch back to a junk phone as I've been unable to figure this one out. Anyone have any ideas on this one? I'm using T-Mobile for a service provider and I'm based out of California.
Also, does anyone know of a place that can do diagnostic/repairs here in the U.S.? So far my searches have come up empty.
Thanks in advance.
Give this a try:
Reflash the phone with any version of ROM and it should start working fine again. I think the problem is that you're radio firmware somehow got corrupt.
Ok, guess I'll have to give it a try. I've been avoiding trying the slightly riskier stuff as I got this thing via an independant third party, so warranty/support are iffy.
Is there a general release ROM that I should be looking for (using T-Mo in U.S.)? Or should I look to cooking my own (which I'd rather not)?
You can try upgrading the ROM with the same branded one. That shouldn't void the warranty.
I.e. If you've got an O2 device, get the new O2 ROM
Reflashing
I have had a simular problem with hard locking. Finally my phone quit working all together. I went into boot loader mode and flashed it. It's like having a new phone again. So yeah.. I think the ROM's can get corrupt.
Brandon
NeoCole: Looks like you are using T-Mo in the U.S. Mind if I asked what you flashed yours with? Did you use a specific ROM, Radio Stack version etc.?
I'm running an unlocked i-mate (contradictory to my subj title, I know).
Flash it with the T-mobile 1.72 ROM
ROM Version
Well.. I flashed it with the IMATE 1.72 ROM and used most of it's extended ROM. I used the battery Meeter from the Qtek extended rom. I built most of my extended ROM Myself.
I look at T-Mobile's Beta 1.72 ROM like I look at Windows ME. Both should have never happend. I can't count how many times I had a hard reset with the T-Mobile ROM. I'm not sure if it was a combination of the programs I was useing or not. I saw a post that said SBP was possibly causing the problem. So I quit using SBP products. Later I still had to HARD RESET from time to time. Now that I'm running differently, My device has never been so smooth.
Let me know if this helps,
Brandon
Looks like I'm pretty much screwed. Without a working power button I can't do a hard reset into bootloader mode. When I try using a utility app that allows me to do a hard reset I can't hold down the jog dial at the same time. Good times.
*edit: yeah, that would be 'can't' hold down the jog dial.
You don't need to boot into the bootload to perform an upgrade... the upgrade software takes care of everything for you (except the hard reset at the end)
All you need to do is sync through Activesync and then run the upgrade program.
I would (and have!) flash the imate 1.72 ROM. It is very stable for me and HAS improved the battery life of my imate.
As stated above, just start the flash process and it will put the device into bootloader mode and perform the flash. It will need a HR at the end, but since your power button is not working, maybe you could remove the battery, slide the red slide/switch back into place for a few seconds as if the battery were there, then slide it back, put in the battery, slide it back into place and press one of the puttons to turn it on.
Hey . . . it might just work!
imate 1.72 ROM did the trick. After I actually READ all the posts regarding the ROM I realized it came with an installer and got that done. So far so good. Now if I could only find my missing tomtom 3 cd key that went MIA during my last move
Hey, that's fabulous! Welcome back to the world of convergence.

WM5 vs. WM6 for 8525?

I read that there's lots of tweaks for WM5 for the 8525, but then I seen mention of a WM6 available, too. I presume it's a free upgrade on the AT&T website, or elsewhere online.
Now for the questions. Which OS works best for this device? Do the tweaks made for WM5 work with WM6 as well? Should I upgrade to WM6, or stay with WM5? For the GPS (maps), does it work with both or just one of the options?
Now for other (off-topic) experiences I have with my new [reconditioned] device.
a) After inserting my SIM card, about an half hour later, I attempted to call an 800 number (to activate a new bank debit card), which it didn't fully connect the call, although the call timer was running. It wouldn't let me end the attempted call, either, so I removed the battery and reinserted it.
b) Exploring the device further, I noticed that some menus didn't close when I tap the "red X" in the corner. I even tried to expand (pull out the keyboard on) the device, but it shows the "red X" of the location from portrait. as well as from the landscape! For example, it wouldn't close the "selecting which size to send photos" option screen. After waiting about a minute, I had to remove the battery to get rid of those screens, which is a major pain to keep removing the battery!
c) Later on, the last phone call that I made wouldn't hang up (end call) -- I even tapped 'End Call' about 5 times, not to mention pressed the red phone icon on the main navigation keys about 3 times. I haven't used the device since, except to place my old Samsung Sync's memory card with pictures, songs, and videos inside it.
The device seems very slow to close/end programs, and I've just received it yesterday! [I have not hacked, tweaked, or done anything else to it, either; I've only set the time, date, and owner's info.] Is this normal for the 8525? Would installing the WM5 tweaks [HTweakC 2.1b] -- or updating to WM6 -- increase the device's response time and overall performance? Or do I have a still faulty, reconditioned 8525?
Sorry for the long questions, I just wanted to give background into the device. Thanks in advance for all help in this matter!
You seem to be way behind as you use WM5. First thing you do after reading this: UPGRADE TO WM6.1
Most tweaks of WM5 will ofcourse work on WM6. WM6 is faster and much much better.
Do you know about soft-reset? No need to take out the battery! Just soft-reset.
And most of your problems of hang-ing can be solved by newer version of Windows Mobile! WM6.1
In case if your new to upgrading, you may read my small guide. If your completely new to Pocket PC, this might help you too. Also, consider using a free taskmanager such as wkTaskMan to close applications completely.
Regards,
Carty..
Carty, thanks for the quick reply!
As a brief background, for about the past 6 months, I was infatuated with the HTC Tilt [8925], because of the built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, 3-MP camera, & media player. Later, from reading other opinions on the 8525 on this board and discovering that it was compatible with GPS services, I decided to "sacrifice" the 3-MP camera, as the 8525 was about $100 cheaper on eBay.
I am pretty new to the Pocket PC, as my cellular device; I have used computers since 1996, though. That being said, it's not even been 24 hours since I've tinkered with the 8525 (as the eBay one never worked at all). I take it that the 8525 is an older device, as I've seen posts dating back to 2006. I just bought one on eBay 2 weeks ago, and had it replaced at an AT&T repair/replace shop yesterday.
I see the reset button on the bottom of the device; I just didn't know when to use it. I presumed it could only be used if the device wouldn't turn on at all. [As you can tell, I'm overly cautious with my new cellular equipment.] Also, I read about the "hard reset" -- holding down the 2 option buttons on the front and then the reset on the bottom of the device; however, I didn't know when to use the hard reset, either.
I will read your tutorials, then will install WM6 ASAP. Then, I will return with my findings. Wish me luck!!
Now I'm having issues with the update of WM6! The device stalls at 11%, then the software returns with the following:
"ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update."
I tried the [Recovery] button 2 more times, following the screens to the letter, but with the same result . . . the software stalls at 11%.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating!!
Man, I finally got it to install WM6! I had to literally remove every single program that was running under my "name" with the XP-MC OS. I even had to "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" the Explorer program and then "open" it (via Task Manager) again! [I didn't restart Windows, though.]
So far, it's back to the align screen, so I'll hope all goes well from there! Be back with more later!
I've made one phone call so far, and it actually did the end call promptly! Thank goodness for small favors! I thought having to do the "flash" about 6 times would have fried the device!
Now that I have the WM6, how do I install the tweaks? Do I copy them to a memory card, to the cell ROM, or something else? I already downloaded "HTweakC 2.1b" but haven't done anything with it yet. What would be my next step to correctly hack the WM6 8525 that I have now? I am a novice at hacking, so talk in layman's terms and please bear with me!

Vogue is locking up

My Vogue is only about 3 months old, but is already showing signs of age. Recently, when ever I try to access Messaging, it locks up, as in nothing works. I'm currently waiting for the battery to die down and see if that helps. Also, I have yet to have been able to get to Haret to boot into Android, so has anyone else had a similar issue? If I can avoid it, I would not like to flash the ROM on the phone. I'm using the Official Alltel 6.1 ROM.
Try SK Tools

Or Memmaid
http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/
If all else fails then try a hard reset.

Man, I know you prolly got a lot of stuff saved on there but you would be so much happier with a custom ROM! and if you dont like the Manilla then check out Conflippers last HTC home ROM. its still much faster than the stock Alltel ROM. Especially if you change the PagePool to 24 before you flash. His HTC Home Rom is in the 2nd post on this thread.

Working on it
Trying to use Memmaid, as soon as my machine recognizes that the phone is connected.
Nope, ActiveSync cannot even reach the device, so there's no way to Flash it or install Memmaid. So, Im out of options, except for the whole "brick" option.

Will it not go into bootloader? you can flash from that screen. In fact its reccomended.
Also you can hard restart you phone by holding the "send" and "end" keys then poking your stylus reset button.
Well this is just great

Funny Story about that. Those ignorant twats at Alltel told me this was a soft reset, not wanting to appear arrogant and rude, I did it, this was over the phone, and she then wanted me to add extras to my plan. Also is there any way I can get old programs to show up from my SD card?

New to this...any help appreciated

Alright...so here goes. I have been out of the smartphone market for some time now and am getting this awesome phone tomorrow. I am friggin excited! Feels like Christmas in the summer! Verizon tells me that it will already come with the 6.1 update installed. Anyone gotten one recently to verify this, and how do I tell when I get it...also how can I tell the radio that it has? I also already wanna mod this machine, and although I am selfproclaimed computer savvy, I am a little nervous about bricking the phone. I think I def want either an iCRAP setup to piss off everyone at work, or nfsfans 6.5....although I would like to have someone walk me through it. I have to say, everyone on this forum has done an excellent job with their machines and I am impressed. Also, I don't know that this will even be an issue, but it will still need to function as a phone and pda...as I have read in a few different places that some cant use their phone function anymore, etc. And I definitely wanna get the GPS running ASAP, due to travel on the job. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I will def help out anyone on here if I can. I also am not sure about when and when not to let customizations run...any help with that would be awesome too
i am also getting this phone from vzw thursday, they told me it comes standard with wm6.0 idk or care. as soon as i get it im gonna flash a custom rom.
Hey there, I'm a fellow Verizon user. It was kind of nerve-wracking flashing the ROM for the first time, but its really NBD once you get into it (be sure and try android too!).
Do your reading first, there are tutorials all over the place. Something to remember about customizations - Don't let them run on any official Verizon updates you see floating around the internet, as they will cripple your GPS. Don't let them run on any ROM designed for another carrier. If you're flashing a generic or Verizon-specific CUSTOM ROM, let them run.
And you can check in settings to see your radio and OS version and all that (under "about" I think, correct me if I'm wrong)
Have fun!
so if i run mr1 from verizon to get to wm6.1, then I SHOULD NOT not run customizations. What buttons do I press to do a hard reset before that comes up? But, if I were to do NFSFAN's 6.5 rom, then I SHOULD let customizations run. Also, could someone point me to a set of CLEAR directions on doing the flashes? I have read a bunch of them, and it seems they are all missing little parts.....probably something so familiar to the editor, they just forget to include in the steps.
Yes, the lack of CLEAR instructions as a stickey is a real problem on a lot of boards. I've read threads over 300 posts in order to get solid info. I don't mind searching for info, but jeesh, guys it is unbearable. Granted some of this stuff is not for the faint of heart, but there can be so much info, and sometimes it is often confusing and contradictory. The SR. members and the Admins need to get their heads together and take a month to provide the community some solid resources, and weed out some of the erroneous info here. We want to make having this phone FUN and Practical. A Case in point is trying to get GPS working. Have you guys looked at all the info on here about this. Granted there is variety of carriers, but it shouldn't be brain surgery.
Also chevyspd,you want to do a SOFT reset before the customizations. Use your stylus to depress the small hole in the bottom of the phone before they run. Should be golden. A HARD reset will restart the flashing process from scratch.
10-4....so only do a soft reset by only pressing the button in the hole on the bottom before customizations runs. That is very contradictory from about 50 other posts I've read so far. A whole bunch of them say to do a HARD reset, but I will remember not to. But, when I do a custom rom like NFSFANS, I don't have to do a reset at all....correct?
You wouldn't believe how many times I got flamed for that same kinda comment on other forums.....interestingly though....Also...if I flash to NFSFANs 6.5, are the cubes still active, or is that something from HTC that gets written over with a new rom?
So, my new phone already has 6.1 right outta the box. Interestingly enough, it went to the customizations screen as soon as I powered the phone up, so I immediately hit the soft reset. How can I tell if what I did worked, and if it didn't, how can I fix it so I can use 3rd party gps programs?
Wow; a lot of questions. I'm not sure about NFSFAN's rom. To see if the gps works, make sure you have the Settings>phone>services>location is set to on. Then make sure the external gps setting is set to Comm4, then hardware NONE, baud 4800, and allow Windows to manage gps. Do a Google search for HTC QuickGPS if it's not already on your phone (varies from carrier to carrier) and Install it; Run it, outside and allow it 10 minutes to get a lock. If gps is working, then you should be golden. You will probably need to turn the radio on after every re-boot; and be aware that leaving the radio going WILL drain you battery faster than usual. All this assumes you are using the stock rom, and not one of the custom ones; each to those varies, some work out of the box so to speak, some of them require tweaking.
Funny i just got the phone yesterday to, but i actually already had it for about a year lol, just replaced the one i broke on saturday. But honestly the first thing i did with the phone is put in my SD card and boot up Android....
I really want my GPS back again but i dont really want to go through the hassle of unlocking, flashing, unlocking, and flashing, but if you deem it neccessary. and maybe i will to one day soon. lol heres the link

The cube is way back when man, sorry but those things are old school already. lol so when you flash to the 6.5 NFSFAN rom it will not have the cube, but it will have titanium and manilla 2d, which in my opinion are awesome replacements

reflashing blind?

My still under warranty 6900 has a totally black screen. I can see that the backlight is on- it is the actual lcd that is black and the phone will receive calls. (I can't see if it goes to bootloader since the screen is black) Presumably, this has nothing to do with the nsfan6.5 ROM on it.
Verizon CS told me on the phone that if they sent me a warranty replacement then found it to be water (or physically) damaged, they would "have to" bill me for the RETAIL value of the phone. She gave me the option to take it into a verizon store to have a tech first OK the replacement to avoid this possibility. He OK'd it and is should be here shortly.
Is there a way to get it back to stock rom while not being able to read what is on the screen? For that matter, is this even worth doing or will VZW not notice?
PS- I'm trying to decide what ROM to put on the replacement phone- Android is tempting but I think I'm going to wait for the smart people to finish getting stereo bluetooth and standalone GPS all sorted out. I'm sure I'll play with it on the SD card in the meanwhile. Thoughts?
I realized I should add:
On the phone I need to send back, I have the bell (complete with ugly blue start up screen) 3.42.50 radio and whatever nsfan 6.5 build was most recent back then.
To accomplish the flash, I also have a 2gb microsd card (with reader) and have downloaded the stock verizon rom.
Also, the touch screen appears to work (vibrates on touch) however, no amount of guesses with random screen touches could get the phone to connect with activesync or tether (sadly, the last type of connection I made was as a removable drive). In other words, things might not be where they are supposed to be on the screen so telling me to tap at pixel 120x200 (or wherever the "next" or "ok" button might invisibly be) may or may not work.
thanks again!
Enter bootloader - Hold Camera and Power and soft reset.
Connect to usb
Run RUU from stock rom.

LOL, thanks. I just logged on to say I'd figured it out. It finally dawned on me that 10 months ago i'd noticed (or heard or something) that you didn't need the active sync connection going if you entered bootloader first.
Fantastic. Many thanks.
Just in case someone reads this trying to do the same thing: I saw elsewhere that you need to run imcoke.41 before reflashing with stock ROM so that's what I did.
Correct?
I think you need to run the .40 unlocker, not the .41
.40 is supposed to be overwritable, .41 is not
I've been using .40 before I send back my phones. When I flash the VZW ROM it usually errors out the first time, then you follow the instructions on the screen(pc) and it takes the second time.

You're right. I'm hoping it was .40 that I used and just wrote .41 here. Regardless, I already sent it off.
