Hi Pof!

could i come back to the Original Touch SPL with your CID unlock, as i can do with the HSPL Olipro?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] catfishblues:
hi there,

i just bough my htc touch a few days ago, and got a lot of trouble to change the rom.

i have read a lot of thread about it but it's really confusing.

can anyone tell me how to cid unlock mine ?

i have the 128/256 version, black one

rom version : 2.20.707.1B WWE

rom date : 10/02/07

radio version : 03.07.90

protocol version : 4.1.13.51

extrom version : 2.20.707.101

model no: Elf0100

on the back of the box is p3452.

purchased in thailand so it's sim unlocked by default.

i'd like to be sure to have to exact original rom for this one, and the exact method to cid unlock it please.

i also need to know of one of you can give me the french version of this rom, or in a better way if it's possible to install a french version of the dictionary and handwriting recognizer.

thanks a lot.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Doctor Mick:
It means I hadn't CID unlocked it first.

Another TIP: Don't forget to undo any encryption on your storage card before flashing otherwise you will encrypt all your files and be unable to read them with your new ROM. Bugger!:mad:

hi there!

i've been trying pof's cid unlocker on an italian branded tim device...

all seems to work until a hard reset is performed... i managed to flash different roms (cloudyfa's shadow 2 and a tweaked italian rom) only to see them getting stuck at the "smart mobility" after turning off the device a few times... the only way to recover the touch is to flash the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345686 rom through bootloader...

my guess is that the cooked roms i've flashed don't replace the USPL... but probably is a noobish guess...

if what i'm saying makes sense, is there a way to replace the spl in the roms with the one contained in the dopodasia wwe?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] ivanmmj:
Hey pof, we really appreciate your work. There's a USPL for the Herald but it doesn't stay on the device, it's only jumped to the memory. This means that we have to reflash to the stock RUU every time we break a flash and run the USPL every time we want to flash again. (Unless we HardSPL but I don't want to HardSPL and then worry about the warranty. Currently, you can return from HardSPL to the stock ROM, but your phone has to be stable enough to boot into windows so that you can launch the USPL again...)

If it's at all possible, do you think you can help us out with an SPL that we CAN flash. And while you're at it, if it's possible, help us find whatever is causing flashes smaller than 51.2mb to fail?

Thanks!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] vol123:
Stupid me

Pof, I managed to get my elf cid unlocked (is it when SPL and IPL are 1.11?) but for some reason I cannot upload any rom. Believe me, I tried. At least 20 different once. Also tried the so-called original dutch once (my elf is a non-branded dutch elf0100). Also tried the so called "official" HTC variations. Nothing works.

The only thing it does is hang in the "smart mobility" screen. I can put it manually in bootloader to try to upload rom's but most of them give "wrong vender ID" (yes it is vender, not vendor :)) and some of them say the image is corrupted. This happened more than 10 times so I don't believe it anymore.

Can you help get my elf working again?

PS: I also tried about 8 different roms via the SD card method, invalid certificate error all the time.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] apljuc:
another bricked phone?

Hi there,

I am having the same problems that many others report. I am stuck in bootloader mode and no ROM I try works. I am wondering if anyone has an original T-Mobile MDA Touch German ROM that was linked with SPL/IPL 2.x.x? I tried the German ROM 2.20.707.1B and no luck.

Here's how I screwed up: I ran pof's elf-uspl.exe (unfortunately with SD and sim card in originally) and am stuck in bootloader. I have tried multiple different ROMs with those cards removed and still always get error messages. I never even got a chance to run enable-rapi.zip. I ran mtty once, and I was able to reset my device and "RUU" appeared on the upper right hand corner of my screen while in bootloader. I tried downloading one ROM version; it didn't work; I went back into bootloader screen; tried mtty again; but now nothing happens when I enter the password. I've rebooted everything multiple times. Thoughts? Thanks!!

My specs:

T-Mobile MDA touch Germany 128mb with 1gb microsd

Original IPL/SPL: 2.x.x

Current IPL/SPL:

IPL 1.14.0002

SPL 1.14.0000

[Touch GSM ROM Development] judged:
I am thinking about flashing my ROM and this guide is truly fantastic for a noobie like me, but I have a couple of questions.

I got my touch last September so am guessing it has the original ROM but am concerned that the figures don't match those in this table for the orange version http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_Versions. I have

Operator version 23.114.1.611

ROM version 1.14.61.1 WWE

ROM date 06/11/07 (guessing that is 11th June!)

radio and protocol the same.

Is this a different version than normal?

Also what's the best way of backing up everything before flashing? After flashing do I lose all the apps I have added?

Also I have had an intermittent fault when I swipe my finger up the screen for the cube, it sometimes flashes up then disappears taking away the top task bar. I have to then reset for it to come back. I kinda of solved it last time by inadvertently dropping it on the floor! Anybody else had the same? Will flashing completely solve it?

thanks in advance

[Touch GSM ROM Development] leondaphillips:
Hi

You probably just need to reset, reload CERT_SPCS and EnableRAPI cabs again before retrying with a different SPL unlock.

There are two different devices:

P3450 (64/128MB) and P3452 (128/256MB)

These come both in two basic different flavours: HTC and OEM.

The SPL unlock can be used on all but you need to use the right one.

Step one must be to determine your DeviceID and CID so you can build yourself a get-out-of-jail-free card by way of locating your original ROM.

You can do this here by following all the instructions on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=379034

This post also has links to all the ROMs we know about for your escape plan.

Before you think about SPL unlocking make sure you have run the CERT_SPCS and EnableRAPI cab files at this location!!!

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46098&d=1186268099

The ELF (P3450 64/128MB) uses this SPL unlock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=320155

The ELFIN (P3452 129/256MB) uses this SPL unlock

And you only run the first two stages, pressing Control-C at the end of stage 2 to load a custom Elfin ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366875

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1964159#post1964159

When you run either of these (assuming you have run your CERT_SPCS and EnableRAPI first) they go through three phases.

From memory

1. First phase transfers some communication and utility DLLS

2. Second phase loads and configures a boot loader which bypasses certification for a single reset.

3. Third phase patches the SPL ready to recieve any ROM.

If you hit a snag, you may have not been running the right SPL unlock for your device. If you have determined your Device ID and CID and have your correct base ROM then you're pretty safe.

Also if the SPL locked up on the Penguin Screen and didn't go grey then you are NOT ready to load another ROM. I suggest a thorough read of the two threads I posted above on SPL unlocks to CYA (Cover Your Arse).

Yours

Leon

PS Many people have come unstuck loading one particular ROM, make sure you check any ROM out you propose to load before you try to load it and make sure you have a way back!
