[Touch GSM ROM Development] Chose:
Following to my first post, I worked a couple hours more and trying some other combination. I'm working on this problem for an entire day, so please do not reply to "correctly read the process".

First, i run the elf-uspl util whitout applying the cabs and accepting the risk when the notification comes up. Haret comes to the screen and freeze. I just soft reset after Touch frozen at the 15%.... and rerun the elf-uspl, now I'm getting the message "Unable to open the log file.... tiny_console_init done".

No problem, I'm still able to soft-reset this stupid pda box and rerun again elf-uspl, this time I received a brand new message under my new friend Haret the Penguin: VRAM 0x00700000. Cool! :eek: Something happened but I doesn't help anymore.

I applyed the cabs as mentionned and run the util whitout softressetting, jammed at 15%....; Soft-reset, run util, jammed at 15%.... The mobile connection icon (i checked the box in Network Properties) is frozen in blue like if something is tranferring but it's only cosmetic, counters are not doing anything. I leave it for 20 minutes, still the same situation.

I also try many utils like Elf_unlocker and Nikiv1aUnlock.exe, but they seems to do less job than the Pof's one... So, I decide to continue working with Pof's util because I have the impression to better understand what we're trying to do and how I can do something different. :confused:

I dunno what the hell BellMob (canada) putted in this f**** pda release of HTC Touch, is it because it's CDMA? Does CDMA or GSM impact something in this new generation of phone? I didn't see any forum talking about this difference in comparison with my previous phones, mostly motorolas where you can't mod it as you wish whitout keep this spec on mind. This carrier always seems to prefer to cut some features, makes you difficult to use it and restrict usage in their phones than giving us the liberty to do what I want with what I bought.

If I want to scrap my 400$ pda this is not the Bell's problem and they will sell me another one anyway, so WHAT DON'T YOU LET ME SCRAP ANYTHING as I wish? :mad:

So now, I'm not a programmer and some high-tech discussion between Pof and others Sr tech is hard to me to understand, but as I hate the leechers who just say "Hi, I want a next, next, next, finish solution for my mobile. Bye!" I'm trying to cooperate at the best as I can. You want my Touch to work on it? Let me know, I'm ready to risk anything!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] andygeerlings:
A question.

I have a Dutch T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus, which is the same as the Touch Enhanced/XL (the 256/128mb version).

I already SIM-unlocked it with a guide elswhere on XDA-dev.

My SPL/IPL version is the following:

IPL: 2.81.0002

SPL: 2.81.0000

How to do an SPL unlock with the Enhanced/XL? Afaik the USPL update mentioned in the FP only works on the 'regular' 64/128mb Touch, or am I wrong here?

Second: Is it possible to dump my original ROM etc. before updating to another ROM? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance.

but i tried it on my dopod s1 and not workinig

i cand see activesync green

i have only the bootloader 3 color screen and on the left down the word usb

please what shoul i do
[Touch GSM ROM Development] radarrrr:
I went successfully through 2 first steps. Then the screen of my HTC Touch went all white. I turned it off and on before proceeding with the step 3. (RUU requested that the phone must be re-connected and active sync icon must be green). After RUU started the update the progress bar in a minute went to 100% the screen of the device became three coloured and then I always get the same error - "[270] UPDATE ERROR" and "Image file is corrupted".

Why is that? I bought my HTC Touch in France with French version of WM6.

ROM 1.11.406.1B. FRE, ext ROM 1.11.406.101, protocol 4.1.13.42

Did you turn the device off and on after the step 2 to get the ActivSync connected again?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] PChaos:

Just run the CID Unlcker again from XP

And it Works for me :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fenderbender:
Sorry to annoy you with my newbie-questions but do I lose my warrenty if I unlock and flash my device?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] PChaos:
Yes ! :(

If they look it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] radarrrr:
Well, as far as I understand, you have to reboot and reconnect the phone with USB cord to the computer after step 2. This is what the rom installer says once it is started in the step 3. Have you done this?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] radarrrr:
So you are saying that after step 2, you just ran the unlocker once again?

But the instructions say "4. On some devices STEP 2 fails the first time, just hit CTRL+C, softreset your device and start over again." So the device has to be resetted.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] pof:
Hi guys, sorry for the delay in answering... have had a really busy days.

No, but you can flash a rom from a different provider or even a cooked rom.

You can't flash USPL on a device stuck in bootloader. You need to boot Windows Mobile to flash USPL.

Try to connect into bootloader using mtty, and issue these commands:

Cmd> ruurun 0
Cmd> ResetDevice

If it does return to bootloader after this, then you must flash original ROM matching your device's CID.

Good to know :)

Yes, with USPL you can flash unsigned NBH files.

This is because you are flashing in real bootloader, not in patched bootloader placed in RAM. The USPL nbh file is not signed with the proper signature, so in order to flash it you need to be running the patched bootloader that is placed on the device's RAM on step two. You must see a blank screen (not tri-color) after step 2.

1. Yes, after elf-uspl.exe places the patched SPL into RAM and jumps into it, activesync connection is disabled because the device is running in bootloader mode (not windows anymore). So after successful completion of step 2, activesync icon should turn gray, otherwise means something went wrong in step 2, in that case just softreset and try again.

During step 3, you must see activesync gray icon at the begining, but the RUU will kill activesync in order to communicate with the patched bootloader, so the icon will disappear when the RUU starts flashing. The flash process takes a few seconds, as it only flashes a SPL.

2. O2 Nova is HTC Elf, righ? then it should work.

See the answer I've given to smoothdvd above.

Wrong, you don't have to turn it off and on, it should stay on the white screen (which is the patched bootloader in ram). Don't believe what the RUU says. When the RUU starts the icon should be gray.

Because you are trying to flash a non signed file into the real bootloader. Follow the steps as described, do not reboot your device and it should be fine.

See answers given to beki and radarrrr.

Technically yes because USPL is not the official bootloader, and also you do lose it if you flash a non-official rom for your device. But:

a) USPL does not have the version number patched, so it is difficult to identify that it is a patched bootloader by only looking at the bootloader screen.

b) USPL can be replaced just by flashing an original rom, that would return your device to original state and don't loose the warranty.

Hope those answers help you :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] radarrrr:
Pof, thanks for the clarifications. I have sucessfully flashed the device :) This is thanks to your recommendations. I was also advised on one of the russian pda forums that I should extract ELF_USPL_v1.zip into the root directory of disk C:\, rather than in a separate /ELF_USPL_v1/ folder. Due to all this it has finally worked out on XP SP2. May be this will help the others.

... updated...

damn. I tried to flash my HTC Touch with new Russian firmware RUU_Elf_HTC_RUS_1.15.411.1B_4.1.13.42_02.93.90, but after 1% was done the updater returned the error "Error: 294. Incorrect identifier of the vendor. This updater may not be used for your phone. Check your updater". What does it mean exactly?

Well, so it seems that we are onyl guys having problem with newest touch and nobody find and answer. I just burst to mine yesterday and it freezing on the splash screen. No matter what the **** they have put on the recents versions of touch, when it will be back from warranty I'll put it on ebay.

Lost enough time with something that our carrier stripped of the good sutff like internet sharing, gps builtin and 256 meg instead of 128m.:mad:

Happy to eared you. Will buy another model.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kolobok01:

Hi Pof,

[Touch GSM ROM Development] kolobok01:
Yesterday I made my ELFin phone CID unlocked and accidentally flashed original Australian rom “RUU_Elf_DOPOD_AU_1.14.710.2_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship” The worked part is that My ELFin got CID locked to this rom. And it don’t boot any more. I can only got to Boot-loader screen. And my IPL became 1.14.0002 and SPL 1.14.0000 I think this is old IPL and it don’t support new ELFin version.

And now if I’m truing to flash any original rom on it I’m getting error 244. if I’m truing to flash any cooked rom I’m getting error 270

If any one knows how to CID unlock from Boot-loader screen that will be grate.

Of if any one knows how to fix it or flash any other version in this condition let me know.

I have an Elf sim unlocked. purcased on Hong Kong.

after using POF CID unlock with no problems, I am trying to flash the BlueElf V4 ROM, but after 3% it always shuts down. always..!! no matter what I do, the error is:

Genral info:

I make a big rom update under a older version of the ROM. Now I have a new HTC Touch with a up to date ROM version and it want and do not want working. I come not to the big rom solution :-(

The Hardware / Software information:

- SIM card and 4GB SD card are into the HTC Touch

- The ROM Version is 1.11.407.1B GER

My experience after the errors

1) I had the three colours (fixed with the mtty.exe (password BsaD5SeoA / ruurun 0 and the ResetDevice. The entries in the console not working with copy and past you must to type. Before you must delete the hock in the activesync setting by "allow USB connentions). For more info see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=347700!

2) I had the white display (fixed with a hard reset from the HTC Touch) How can you make the hard reset see --> http://www.pocketpc.ch/showthread.php?t=38938 (in german entry 8)

3) The HTC Touch goes not further after the pin code. The solution is also an hard reset

4) I had also three colours and i push the camera button, the on/off button and with the stylus in the hole right from the usb. After this I go further with 1)

Following steps has been carried out many time and have no solution:

a) Download the enable-rapi.zip with the two files (Cert_SPCS.cab und EnableRapi.cab)

- I store the files on the htc touch

- First I install the Cert_SPCS.cab

- and than the EnableRapi.cab

b) Soft reset

c) unzip the file "ELF_USPL-v1.zip" and start the file "elf-uspl.exe"

- Step 1 run to the end

- Step 2 also run to the end. The activesync icon is grey and the HTC touch screen is white

- I start the step 3 (i'm not sure is this correct)

No the step 3 goes not to the end and a new windows is displayed. The windows has a jpg from the HTC Touch. The activesync is disconnected and the dead end is reached. Now I have maybe the white HTC Touch display, the three colours, but never I have a big rom.

Wha is the solution?

* HTC without the SIM card

* HTC with a 1 or 2 GB SD card (without a SD card the three colours is the result)? With my solution I have a 4 GB SD card into the HTC!!!

* What is the right rom version for ROM 1.11.407.1B GER (Deutsch)?

* Is the step three necessary, if the HTC touch screen white?

* Is the procedure the right procedure?

* Are the unlook file in the right version?

Question over question, have one of you a answer?

I have read the complete entries but no complete description what is to do..

Thank

@pof

Thank you so much for this awesome piece of software!

BUT:

Could you please state in your first post of this thread, that people shouldn't use this version on their Touch Enhanced aka ELFin? Too many people bricked their devices by not knowing that this bootloader is not 100 percent compatible with their devices.

Or even better: Could you please make a version for ELFin? I would gladly offer you to provide you with an ELFin SPL.

Once and for (hopefully) all:

DEAR ELFIN USERS! PLEASE DO NOT FLASH USPL IN STEP 3, JUST CANCEL THIS STEP BY HITTING CTRL-C. IF YOU DON'T CANCEL YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
