Hello everybody,

¿Are there more people that tried this with success? I think this is a big step for elfin users and we can get rid of several problems.

It would be nice if all the people who tested this drop a message here.

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jzalapski:
Well, I used this and no problems so far... when I bricked my previous Elfin with v1 it would go to tha HTC screen and than nothing (wouldn't even charge), so it looks like this is it!!

Gonna find a ROM and flash it.... let ya know how it went....

What then...?

I did that stupid mistake, now what.. my SPL is shown as 1.11.0000 and its the one for an eLF. i have a Elfin btw. Now gets stuck on the Smart mobility page. What do u guys suggest??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Bimme:
@hanoop:

You can try to use mtty, but i think your only chance is to find an official rom matching your model ID...

The official Roms are containing a new Bootloader, so you have to flash an official one from within Bootloader via ActiveSync or via SD-Card...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] phat_cow:
Can someone plz post the steps on how to use this for elfins?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
This Is What I Did & Worked Great!

1.Hard Reset.

2.Unzip ELFIN_USPL.rar in your C:\ drive.

3.Unzip enable-rapi.zip on desktop.

4.Transfer Cert_SPCS.cab & EnableRapi.cab to your phone.

5.Run Cert_SPCS.cab FIRST & EnableRapi.cab SECOND (If there's a popup asking you to allow installation, select [YES]) and do a soft reset.

6.Turn off the phone and remove SIM and microSD cards.

7.Connect the phone to pc, turn it on and wait until activesync is completed(green icon).

8.Run elfin-uspl.exe on your computer (C:\ELFIN_USPL\elfin-uspl.exe) and follow instructions on screen:

*************************************************************

Please make sure Activesync is enabled (green icon in systray)
and hit ENTER to start...

STEP 1/3......50%......75%....100%

The next step will load a patched bootloader (SPL) on your device
it will make your device temporary SuperCID (seclevel=0), and will
avoid modelID and signature checking when flashing NBH files.

Hit ENTER to continue...

STEP 2/3.....15%.....25%...50%...75%.....100%

[B][U]Phone screen should now be blank WHITE and the activesync icon gray
if not, the loading procedure has failed and you'll have to repeat again.[/U][/B]

If all was OK hit ENTER and the standard "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility"
window will start, allowing you to flash patched SPL on your device.

Hit CTRL+C to Cancel or ENTER to continue...

Follow the steps on the wizard to flash the patched SPL, when this
step completes your device will reboot.

STEP 3/3 - Launching RUU, please wait...

Process is finished, congratulations!
If you find it useful don't forget to donate :)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] keshu15:
I'm still not able to do with this , i followed the below steps as per your instructions

"

This version is based on the ELFIN 2.20.0000 SPL and was patched the same way as USPL for ELF.

Download here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/94753943/ELFIN_USPL.rar

It has been tested by various users including myself and was verified to work without any problems.

Even though, I take no responsibility for any damages on your devices.

Thanks to pof for his great work!

If it doesn't work for you right away, follow the instructions in this file to enable RAPI prior to using USPL:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] LucasAHawkins:
So without getting too long winded, I've spent roughly 20 hours so far bringing my Galaxy Player back from the grave. Thinking that I was a rooting and ROM'ing expert (I had done it on other devices after all), I managed to royally screw up my YP-G70 to the point that it was at the black screen of death with no signs of life. Through hours of research on here and doing a crash course on Linux, I was able to use Adam's Unbrickable resurrector tool to breed new life into my device. Eventually I was able to get a few files in through Heimdall so I at least have working bootloaders. Unfortunately, the device is showing all the signs of partition problems that others like Meticulus helped people with. While I have read all the posts, I must admit I am totally getting lost at the actual order of commands to give to Fdisk to accomplish anything. For example, I have tried to run the command to change the number of heads to one, but it just gives me errors. I have been able to see that mine currently shows four, which I know is not correct based on seeing past pictures from Meticulus. If someone could help walk me through the order of commands, I am pretty confidant I can get this thing back up and running after being told there was no hope for it. I'd be glad to give a big thank you and a donation to the beer or significant other fund if someone can help me figure it out. I must admit I have ZERO experience with FDisk so that is probably half my problem and I am just doing something minor which is keeping me from having the partitions fixed. I also have entropy512's kernel installed for root.

Sticking points still- While it doesn't matter much with the partitions being a mess, the Galaxy Player is still not seen in Odin , unless it's in recovery. If it's in download mode, Odin will not see it at all. So for flashing, at the moment, my only real option seems to be Heimdall.

If fastboot does not progress ( keeps showing < waiting for any device >) , try using sudo to avoid permission issue.

Example:

sudo fastboot erase modemst1

sudo fastboot erase modemst2

sudo fastboot erase cache

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kevin uk:
Great article and worked for me on Moto G5

Great article and worked for me on Moto G5 (again stupidly set to USA Radio). Couple of bits of extra info. I had to download Motorola device drivers to get past the ''waiting for devices" issue (search for fastboot cedric s driver), sudo is a unix/linux command not available on windows systems. And lastly on the final reboot it took 2 or 3 mins to connect back to the 4G system so don't give up too quickly
