Newbie To The Touch World

Recently, purchased a Sprint HTC Touch. It has no sim card as far as I can tell. Tried to unlock the unit using two post I read on this forum.
One was using the Qualcomm's QPST method. For some reason Windows wouldn't recognize the unit's drivers when in diagonistic mode. As a result, QPST can't find the phone.
The other method I used was involving Cert_SPCS, EnableRapi, and Touch_Unlock. When notepad popped-up, nothing appeared. No unlock code. Nothing.
Please tell me what it is I'm doing wrong. Also, is it possible to get GPS on my unit? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey man,
Welcome.
Sprint and Verizon wireless use CDMA technology for their wireless radio; while AT&T and T-mobile use GSM. CDMA does not use SIM cards, but instead has an embedded serial number to identify the phone to "the carrier" called an ESN (you got it "electronic serial number"). SIM cars are not exactly equal to an ESN, but carriers use the two to identify the subscriber.
What is your goal? The Sprint Touch aka HTC Vogue ("HTC Vogue" = CDMA version of the "HTC Touch") is already application unlocked.

First Attempt At Flashing
After posting, I asked myself that very same thing. Been doing a lot reading of various post and decided flash my rom for GPS/Rev a using what i've learned involving the the work done by ImCoKeMan. Appears to be a safe thing to do as a newbie without seriously damaging my unit. I have the files necessary to do the flash. Will try later in the day when I have time to devote to the process.
Are there any last minute tips I should be aware of before getting started? Every little bit helps.

If you are using Sprint, all you need to do is download and run the ROM found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403016) in Windows XP, or extract the 2.NBH and rename to VOGUIMG.nbh and run it from your FAT32 microSD card (2GB OR LESS, do this by holding down power/camera/soft reset). If on a Mac, do NOT run it in a virtual machine! (Parallels, VMWare)

Agreed, but keep in mind he has to use a windows machine to initially unlock the phone. Preferably a windows xp machine.
Now using a sprint rom, you don't have to unlock the phone, so the above method should work fine and dandy. Make sure you have atleast 50% charge on the battery.
If you want to use a custom ROM, i suggest you unlock the phone using a windows PC. (u only need to unlock once)

First Time Flasher
Thanks for your replies. Believe it or not the responses I've been getting are the answers to the very questions I've been searching the forums for. I've decided to not use a custom rom for now. I'm just going to upgrade my Vogue to Rev. A/ GPS. I am running on Windows XP. That should help.
I was reading ImCoKeMaN's post on PPCGeeks. Step 1 says to download and flash the your carrier's official rom. Then in step 8 download the RUU. So I guess I still need to learn more about flashing the unit as described in step 1. I have the rom to do it with, but hestitant to do it just yet. Am I making too much of this? How do I flash the stock rom onto the unit before proceeding to step 8?

1) Hook up phone.
2) Let activesync/windows mobile device center load.
3) Run ImCokeMan's Unlocker (follow instructions closely... you'll need to stop before the last step).
4) Load the new Sprint ROM (unsure if this ROM has the GPS active).
5) Either stop or load another ROM
To load another ROM, if it comes as only an NBH (basically a rom file), you can download ImCokeMan's RUU (HTC ROM Update Utility)
Custom ROMs really bother me. They're loaded with garbage (which I can load myself thanks ). I just loaded SBR_L3GION's Stock v2 ROM last night. OMJ is another popular ROM "cooker" (I'd load Sprint Clean) (i've sure you've seen "cooking," "kitchen" etc thrown around now, "chef" is also used).
Just a quick note, I load edup TomTom6 (although 7 is leaked, it won't load on the Vogue) and it didn't find the GPS. In order to use the GPS with some programs, you need to "prime" it (wake it up); which you can do with Google Maps or other software (the COM port is 4 and the baud rate of the GPS is 4800; note that the GPS works through the Windows Mobile GPSID). I'm searching right now for a good primer that is a primer only not a full blow program.
Here's what else I've got going:
1) TomTom6
2) Google Maps
3) Pocket Player
4) S2U2
5) Cube Config Tool
I might load NinoGPSPlot, which is pretty cool.
I came across a GPS Primer called AstroGPSLauncher, but it doesn't seem to work for TomTom6. I'm checking out the GPS - How To right now.
[edit]
I found GPSToggle.

bigflavor put it very simply for you! When I first decided to flash I had all sorts of worries, and then when I finished, I thought, man that was simple! So, as a personal suggestion to you, make sure you read so much info you need tylonel!!! For the most part, as long as you follow the steps, you will be good, even if you think you messed up, there is about a 95% chance you can recover. If you have any questions about what your doing, feel free to post, we are all here to help! Trust me, I know it can look confusing at first with all the different terms used.

HTC Touch Sprint for U.S Cellular
I am able to get the spc code by getspc. But how do I load the PRL for U.S Cellular on the HTC Touch? I am new, it took me two days to get the spc.

hey thanks TheChampJT for those encouraging words
I recently purchased a HTC Touch Sprint only for $90 in very clean condition and with some accessories too isn't that a deal to mention....
So now I am in India where CDMA service providers (eg. Reliance, Tata) also have sim cards and handsets without sim cards also.
can you please guide me how could I use this handset (first unlock offcourse) with my service provider.
Thanks

I hope this rom can hlep us make the DVP best!

From opening up the rar, the file mentions:
"US_TMO_SIGNED"
Is there a different ROM for each US carrier?
In other words, the Venue Pro appears to be sold in the US only as an unlocked device, but there is a version for AT&T bands and a version for T-Mobile bands. Is the ROM the same for both, so this would work for both?

ALL DVP can use this rom

So is this ROM the missing link we needed to hack the DVP or do we gain nothing lol

We need a full image dump and not a backup file. And yeah. This is likely the only way to hack the phone.

From what I saw, it's an .ffu file, which it's my understanding that this is a full firmware image.

I would need the link again to verify but last time it was a backup.

Hey guys, does this mean I can unbrick my dvp ?
It's been sitting there for ages and I have went out to buy a omnia 7 but I really love the phone.... .... please keep me posted and tell me how to upload the image onto the phone so I have a working firmware again ^_^.
PM me or whatever ^_^
I'm so excited, DVP is no longer a dead phone and can have developments ^^

does anyone have the image file and can post it to a standard upload service (mediafire, fileserve, etc.). webseraph where did the link go?

I've got it saved on my computer at home, I can reupload it later tonight if people still need it by the time I get home. It came with a bunch of Eastern-language files, Chinese or Japanese I believe, old versions of x86 Zune software, old versions of x86 drivers, and the .ffu file.
Since I believe the .ffu is the ROM itself (hopefully not a backup, I don't know much about this stuff and my Dell Venue Pro that I decided to order is still with Fedex), I'll just upload that, and anything else can be sourced at a million other locations.

Thanks ! !

I updated my previous post, I've got no idea. The instructions weren't in English and I don't even have a WP7 device (yet). I believe it would involve using UpdateWP.exe though.

cheers ^^

It'll be nice to have a look at it anyways, thank you sooooo much !

Can you upload the file somewhere? I would like to disect it.

Here's a repost of only the .ffu from the original post:
http://www.multiupload.com/5YT27EHLZV
The original rar also contained instructions in Chinese, plus other folders:
1 start, which included the VC redist files
2 Zune 4.7, (x86 only)
3 ZuneDesktop UpdateTool 1404, (x86 only)
4 Tool FFU _FinalCheck_CheckPVK, which I believe is just a wrapper to run the UpdateWP.exe command I mention below. If anyone wants this folder too, let me know.
5 FFU-Deploy, which contained only the .ffu file I zipped up and reposted.
From my brief research into the matter, it appears that you can use Zune 4.7 with an older UpdateWP.exe with the following command:
UpdateWP.exe /ffu <filename>
Zune 4.7 and the older UpdateWP.exe are available all over so I didn't bother uploading those.
Machine translation of instruction file:
Brush process
Computer system XP SP3 (win7 system similar)
By folder order in 1234 to install
A: Click the folder to install the three files in 1 start
B: Download and install this zune4.7 me
C: install about 3 ZuneDesktop UpdateTool 1404 folder in the Setup-UpdateWP-x86.exe
D: Open the folder 4 Tool FFU _FinalCheck_CheckPVK in the file FFUDownload_ShareU.exe,
Tap Browse, find the 5 FFU-Deploy folder of the Rom file
Then began to brush machine,
1 cell phone off, remove the battery
2 believe the key to holding down the data cable to the computer
3 Wait a moment, the computer will automatically find the drivers. (Note to zune off, preferably in the Task Manager in the zune process off)
4 drive automatically installed after the point about brush machine software in the download, and then will begin to brush machine, brush machine program into the background of green.
After a good brush, the phone will automatically restart, like, Brush some tips that appear on the software window, all the way to determine the fine.
Brush, do not pull the data line.

Again though, this isn't my file, and I haven't tested it, so don't blame me if something goes wrong.

ACE will try it out ^^
Actually, can you upload the whole original .rar cause I can read chinese and want to flash my phone anyways cause its bricked so I just want to see if this will help and it looks like i need the whole package in order to do so ^^

The FFU works. It is 7704 and it is amazing how much Windows Phone 7 has advanced. Now the trick is to find a way to install an exploit before Mango that sets the interop unlock at every boot or something and then find a way to restore a backup. I am not really sure how the backup/restore process works. It did require me have the latest updates before restoring so it is possible it just restores non /windows files and folders. So if we can find something in the system that can provision the provxml files then we are golden. The problem is I have no idea what would do that in the system. If you dare to do what I just did, make sure you have a back up and a backup of that backup stored elsewhere as you never know if zune will delete your backup.

1. Stock roms. Custom ROMs: DFT+Magldr, mi7rom, CleanDFT
2. Dev unlocking through WindowsBreak project
3. To deploy XAPs you need Winco's mini WP7 SDK and Winco's deployer wXapAssistant
4. Deploy these 2 apps immediately: Samsung tools (to prevent relock) and WP7 Root tools (file explorer, registry editor etc)
I also suggest you read this thread, it's a bit oudated but it contains all the needed tools today.
This is what you need to start with, good luck!

Nice, concise post, EnderPsp.

Thanks! This steps seem simple enough for me to follow.
I am in a dilemma, help me out guys. I bought a used phone for $90 and its in a pretty good condition overall except for the demo mode issue. I have the option of opting for a replacement, but I am not sure whether the replacement would be as good as this one.
The phone is scratch-less and cosmetically in pretty good shape. I also checked the diagnostic menu and there was no issue found to my noobie eyes. The usual burn in problem with demo units is also not present. I could not check the calling features as its in demo mode. Is there anything else I should look for?
So what should I do? Keep this and flash with a stock ROM (which I am sure inputs by you all will definitely get me through) or I should just go ahead and take a replacement?
EDIT: Any inputs guys???

So I have decided to keep this phone and flash it to a stock ROM.
I was going through the posts referred by you (very helpful) and can figure that the bootloader is working fine. Will start the flashing when I get home from work.
One of the points mentioned in the tutorial says that the battery should be 80% charged before starting with the flashing process - which makes sense. BUT, I am having some issues here. The demo mode seems to be a battery hog, so even if I have plugged the phone to the charger, the battery is getting charged really slow (probably the battery is bad as well). Its been a few hours since I have plugged it in and its still probably at 20% and the phone is getting pretty warm at the back and the front. Is this going to be a problem???

Flashing implies some risk, so having more battery definitely helps. By my experience, 40% is enough but I recommended 80% for the general case (to cover all possibilities). But considering your battery is slow charging, I would do 2 things to charge faster:
- set airplane mode
- turn screen off
So when you reach 40% you should be fine for flashing stock ROM. But I don't know all the particular details so you need to consider all. Normally, flashing a stock ROM takes about 10 mins, so it doesn't require a lot of battery.
And just to be clear, for demo phones I first recommend you return the phone, since these aren't normally sold to users. But that is your choice and again, I don't know all the particularities (for demo phones) or even if flashing a stock rom actually works, for that matter.

All the posts were really helpful. Now I can confirm that the demo version phones can be fixed by this method!

Registry Editor
Guys, I see a lot posts about editing the registry entries to tweak stuff. I need to change my default live ID and found a suggested way to change that through registry edit. BUT how do I do it? I am not having enough posts, so cant post in the dev threads.

My bad, the answer was right in this thread! I gotta windowbreak and then install WP7Roottools to edit the registry!

Kill every program you've opened. Skype messes up the connection. If you're able to sync in Zune, it should work. Also
- don't close Zune while you do that
- make sure you're synced fully in Zune, not in Guest mode

That's good, you don't have KK2 and if Root Tools works, it's a problem with your PC, your phone is fine! Make sure you close all programs that may use https connection. I also recommend the reading here (pasting some relevant bits):
Steps for unlocking:
...
6. Open TCPView. (tcpview.exe inside of the downloaded archive) Click on the heading marked "Local Port" until the arrow next to it is pointing up.
7. Look on the Local Port column for any entries labeled "HTTPS". These programs MUST be closed for Chevron to work properly. Common culprits are Skype, and XAMPP. Use Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+Delete) to ensure they are closed if you run into issues.

[Expired]Get WP 10 for every Windows Phone and everyone with 3 easy steps

-------------------------------------
This method doesn't work any more on the latest version of Windows Insider app, Microsoft has fixed the vulnerability.
-------------------------------------
I post this method several hours after the release of Windows 10 for phone.
It original wrote in Chinese, I decided not to post on XDA, because I'm lazy to translate, I posted it on Chinese WP forum WPXAP.com and wish someone will translate it.
Today I noticed that there only a complicated method was posted here, so finally I decided to post an English version of my method.
What you need to do is: Download a file, Set a proxy and Get update.
No PC needed, you can done it within 2 minutes.
Details step for noobs (Read notice below before you really follow the steps) :
0.Open http://upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777 in IE on your phone (My server is in China, maybe slow)
1.Tap 'Open', then 'Install'
2.Open Wifi Settings
3.Tap Wifi network you connected
4.Turn on Proxy
5.Server: upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
6.Port: 7777, and save
7.Open Windows Insider
8.Tap 'Get preview builds'
9.Two or three options will show up (1st time you use this method, you'll get only 2 options. Otherwise, you will see 'Restore' additional)
10.Long-press Back key, back to Wifi settings, turn off proxy, then back to Windows Insider
11.Tap 'Insider Fast', then tap 'Accept' (Ignore any Chinese text you see)
12.You will get update
Notice:
Use at your own risk. Strongly recommend you test it on your second phone, do not update your primary phone.
Your token information(not password) of Live ID may be sent to my server automatically by phone, if you don't trust me, don't trust this method.
You can't use my proxy server to access internet, so don't forget to turn it off.
Make Backup, you may need Rest or Reflash your phone.
Huawei and Duo-SIM phone are not supported according to Microsoft.
Your phone model infomation will be changed to Lumia 636 after using this method. If you want to revert to your phone's original model, tap the 3rd option in step 9 and apply.
Check your 'Sys free space' in 'about' in Windows Insider. You need at least 250MB to install WP 10, or you will get 0x80188308 error (Sys free space show in Bytes, you need devide 1024 twice to get MB value. e.g. 556,646,400=530.86MB).
The only way to enlarge 'Sys free space' is Reset Phone or Reflash ROM. Reset only enlarge a little space usually, so I recommend Reflash ROM using Windows Phone Recovery Tool by Microsoft.
You will need about 500-700MB Phone free space (not Sys free space) to download the update, or you'll get 8018830f error.
DO NOT reset your phone if failed to update WP10, Windows Insider will broken(crash), it's a bug of Microsoft.
If you didn't join Preview for Developers program before (Means your OS version is below 341, usually 200), you will get WP8.1/341 update first, reboot twice follow the tips of Windows Insider, finally you'll receive WP10 update.
A lot of users repotered that OS version higher than 341(like 359 on new Lumias), you'll not receive WP10 update.

Damn. I thought I needed more system space, so I did a hard reset. Damn it I'm screwed. Anyway to fix it?

Thank u work grate
Thank u work grate in l 720

If you own a Nokia pone, you can try following this tutorial and reflash with Nokia Care Suite your original, or some generic firmware, if you need help getting your product code, you can get it looking under your battery there should be an RM-XXX code followed by another code of some 17 numbers (not your IMEI) and then you put on the "Data PAckage Manager" your Product Type (RM-SOMETHING) and your Product Code that are the first 7 numbers from that long code... Hope this helps to you

Help me :c

Reker,
I couldn't understand this part. I need to hard reset my phone via Windows Phone Recovery Tool, but I can't do it if i fail to update my phone to WP10? And my Windows Insider app will break?
Can you please clarify that part to me and send me some screenshots of your device too?
Thanks

Factory resetting your phone will break the windows insider app, as per Reker's instructions. Reflashing your ROM is the only way to increase your system space if you're below the minimum required system space. It's a pain in the ass, another step to make you think twice about it.

So, has anyone tried this on a Lumia 521?
If not I will try it.
EDIT: Not enough System free space, about 124MB.
EDIT #2: Trying a clean flash of the ROM, as suggested.

So far so good, will post when install of Windows 10 is completed.

Nice tip, but when I want go back to my original settings:
Your phone model infomation will be changed to Lumia 636 after using this method. If you want to change it back, tap the 3rd option in step 9.

Changed my settings to 1040_1021 (for Lumia 730). I have Lumia 930 RM-1045. How to change it to original ?

Changing back means having the registry information back as your phone originally had? the manufacturermodelname: RM-1045_1006 for eg. instead of the information this patch is applying.

Work with Lumia 920? If i do this how to back to 8.1?

Work. And you can go back with Lumia Software Recovery Tool or Nokia Care Suite.

And the Software Recovery tool back to 920 firmware not 636?

Windows Phone Recovery Tool will 100% return your phone to the correct OS
I had mine set to the L635, used the Windows Phone Recovery Tool and it recovered my phone back to the L625 100% working as it should

Some information is incorrect in the OP of this thread. You don't need at least 700 Mb, you only need at least 510-520mb for the wp10 update to install.
Also, as a reminder to users. When you set a phonemanufacturername, the mobile operator that the phone model appears on MUST ALSO match for you to receive the updates

Thanks loads. This worked perfectly on my Lumia 1320. Far simpler than that other method posted. This is in desperate need of a sticky.

I have followed the steps to the dot.. but my 930 keeps rebooting and receiving nothing.. I turn off the proxy, tap Insider (Fast).. I get "configuring your device..." screen, ajfnajksnfk in chinese, tap accept.. your device will reboot and so far it has rebooted 5 times, but no update yet.. what am I doing wrong?

Same to me

Now lets suppose, I successfully get W10 without resetting my phone. Will my 920 be known as 635 forever or will it get the right 920 software once W10 preview will be available for every phone??
Will I be forced to do the rollback to WP8.1???
Thanks!

VOYO vbook V3, image disk for restore

Hello all! you're awesome!
I have this pc/tablet. I try to put a spanish language, and was impossible.
I decided to put a clean install of windows 10, and I crash it...
Now, all is in spanish, but there are some things that not work now: wifi, audio, touchscreen...
I know that it's a drivers problem. But there are not drivers for this product.
I hope that some of you can share with us (and me) an image of the original windows10 that come with the tablet, and maybe I can install.
Now...I lose 350$ in a few hours...

I want them too
i think the original Windows 10 installation image from Voyo with the drivers is here
Code:
https://9896df.lt.yunpan.cn/lk/cxxWj6pRmPTRi#/-0
but i cant make a account there to download it .....
can anyone help to upload it somewhere else?

This is for Voyo v3 mini PC as I can see not for Voyo V3 Vbook

do you manage to repair Windows dude
hire is all files from Voyo vbook V3 drivers,you can also with google translate use 4pda forum find many answers

I managed to get the drivers from their website after a lot of struggle. I uploaded them to mega just in case others need them:
http s://me ga.nz/#!hVB0Ea6Y (apparently I need a min number of posts to put links)
The decryption key is the following: !9fQTHbIb-H812jw2MwVOAPZoZvDGKuywgiRBkjkOwEE
The wifi driver is giving some security warning when you try to install it. I already had it working yesterday (using other drivers I found) so I decided to not install it when I saw the warning. The rest of them made my camera and touchscreen work properly though so they are good.

Thanks, worked fine

Hi, I've recently bought the core m3 version off Gearbest, but ran into a ton of issues out of the box. As with all chinese tablets/laptops/convertibles I buy, the first thing I did was do a Windows reset (to get rid of any potential bloatware/localization issues/ etc/). However, since the reset, I have been unable to charge the device beyond 80%, the pen that came with it is not registering any input, and the touch screen input is waaaaay off (closer to my finger at the top left corner, then deviates further off the further I get from that point).
Now, I'm unsure whether these issues existed prior to the reset, or whether they were caused by it (since I didn't really use the device long enough before the reset). The easiest way would probably be to send it back to claim warranty, but the whole claim procedure through Gearbest is a nightmare at best. I would prefer to try everything possible before actually attempting that ordeal.
I would like to try installing a fresh copy of windows over the "reset" version to see if the potential driver issues are resolved, but am unable to find the proper installer for this device from the myvoyo website. The one available is apparently for the atom x5-Z8300 version of the device, not for the core M version. I did try the drivers from the link above in this thread, but it caused a WDF_VIOLATION bsod.
tl:dr Does anyone have ANY suggestions as to what I can try to fix these issues, or potentially have a link pointing to the correct drivers/windows installer I will need to get the device back to the factory settings? (I speak neither Chinese nor Russian so the company's website and the apparently thorough 4pda forum was of limited use to me - google translate is wonky at best)
Thanks and sorry for the long rant.

WooHoo!! Thanks that fixed my touch and wifi issues!

Do not hesitate to contact them directly via e-mail (the voyo manufacturer). I just did and they seem very helpful (or I am just lucky). I am currently trying to install Android on the machine with their help. If I get all the drivers to work I will post here everything needed + instructions in case anyone wants to do it as well.

[email protected] . Contact them directly. I just did and they sent me the drivers for the cherrytrail version (though that's not exactly what I asked for). Keep your english simple and concise so they understand you. Theirs is quite bad.

Hi guys
The drivers doesn't work anymore.. someone has them?

i recently bought the voyo v3 ultrabook from gearbest and it constantly just shuts off without warning. this kills windows after a while so have reset it multiple times.
tried to return it to gearbest but the cost was like £60 and then the post office wouldnt touch it because it contained a lithium battery.
basically gave up and accepted £15 compensation from gearbest - would like to try android on this as i have some suspicion that the device could be ok. it can go for hours when windows is not fully booted ie when restoring windows so this could well be on OS thing. trying android would be a good test of this.
big waste of money and time really, note to self is only buy from local stores in the future! doh.

Voyo stays in blackscreen
Hi together,
I need your help. I have the v3 flagship with m3-6y30 and it stays in blackscreen.
I changed the win10 boot options to safe mode and now the screen stays black only. The 'caps lock' led is working. I tried to enter bios or uefi, but it does not work, or at least the screen stays black.
Next I will try to connect micro hdmi to a monitor and I hope that it will work. Another solution would be to write a new originial voyo win10 image to the m2 ssd. Could anyone provide me his ssd image? Maybe someone saved it after resetting win10? I asked voyo for that image, but they did not answer..
It would be great if someone could help me.
Regards

Could solve it. I can enter Uefi by pressing Esc and I had to use an external monitor.

hi dschingi86
i have a similar problem - I did a clean re-install of windows 10 pro and the screen stopped working. The backlight is definitely working - i can see it come on, but nothing is displayed on the screen. the screen still works for touch though.
It only displays when connected to an external monitor via hdmi.
i've tried reinstalling drivers etc, but nothing works - how do i get the screen to start working again?

How do you enter BIOS?
please help

What type of m.2 ssd drive does the Voyo v3 Pro use sata iii or pcie? What is the maximum size in gigabytes that the Voyo V3 Pro can use? Do you happen to have a image file of Windows 10 for the Voyo v3 Pro? The link to the image file on the Voyo web site no longer works.
