Is upgrading really that easy?

[jmack549]

Okay so I just bought a Sprint Vogue on eBay a few days ago, and I'm really liking NSFfan's 6.1 rom. I downloaded the zip, and in it is the RomUpdateUtility. Do I really just run that and it updates it?

It seems too easy, but I'm having trouble finding a proper tutorial, probably because the phone is a few years old. Any help is appreciated!

It is pretty easy...you do flash to custom roms lik NSFfan just lik a regular update.

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT

You cant do any of this without unlockin your phone first. it wont work unless u unlock ur phone first with the coke unlocker mentioned in the link above at ppcgeeks.

So all I have to do is run the unlocker, then open the RUU file, choose the nbh (or whatever) file, and that's it? It seems WAY too easy!

1. Put NFSFAN rom files into the same folder as the unlocker.
2. Run the unlocker and follow on-screen instructions
3. Once its all done, hard reset your phone to eliminate possible glitches
3. Done

Yes.



Unlock, flash.

Dang, I'm really having trouble pulling the trigger. I like HTC Home, how the weather is integrated and whatnot.

What are the major advantages of custom roms? Speedier maybe?

Well when I first got my phone, I was liking the cube and UI, but thought I would pull the trigger on unlocking and flashing a custom rom. I put on nfsfans rom v8 and love it. I'm having some minor issue with connecting to the internet while on roam, but it works great otherwise. You won't regret flashing. The wm6.5 UI took a little to get used to but I love it now. Much better then the cube. Try and see what u like, you can always flash back to your stock rom.

Yeah that was one of my questions, I can always go back to stock right? I don't like the look of 6.5 no offense, so I was just going to do the custom 6.1. I'm worried about having major issues on stuff I use regularly though.

I hate how people always link to other websites. It makes it seem that there aren't any good guides here. I need to unlock my phone but I can't seem to get ahold of the I'mcoke unlocker. I've found tons of posts for the Vogue in OUR forums leading to guides in OTHER peoples forums most of which have codes or downloads that you can't see unless you register. Regardless none of them show links to the coke unlocker.

Links to the unlockers are in the reply from the first post. You will see links beginning in ftp:// and http:/ .The first post of the ppcgeeks thread is pretty much a guide you just need to read it a few times. If some of you don't like the look of 6.5 then just flash a 6.5 rom with Manila 2D cooked in such as NFSFANS 6.5 V8
