I think the problem is that the phone stays on SPL 1.

Giving the wrong memory information to the ROM

Reboots all the time until it won't simply start.

I had the same problem and solved it by installing a the original HTC ELFin Rom which reset my SPL to 2.20 and runs fine.

In my opinion (but i could be wrong) it would be better if the rom builders reset the SPL to 2.20 when the rom is installed (you will have to cidunlock everytime and they will have to make separated ELF and Elfin roms).

Then again some people seem to be running it just fine! (elf or elfin?)

For the moment I can't use this rom (shame) but I'm someone will come up with a solution!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wuub:
Anyone knows if it's possible to revert to SPL 2.20 without flashing the ROM ?

Otherwise it stays on SPL 1.11 and the ROM will only be effective for a fwe minutes then will not be able to boot
[Touch GSM ROM Development] X3n0n:
I have this problem, i did a Hard Reset, it worked again, but after some app installation, it didn't work anymore so where is the problem ?

When i open advanced config, location and city code are written in the today section, but i can't update.

Have a good day :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
The USPL 1.x works fine on an Elf, but it sounds like you have an ElfIN phone? Run the CID unlock after step 2 don't go to step 3 (flashing SPL), but run the rom update.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wuub:
cheers, I'm going to try like that

I'll let you know
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wuub:
So far, so good

Stopping at the end of step 2 and launching the update worked

Phone is now recognised properly.

I think this is the right solution for ELFIN's users

THANK YOU MAN

Blutooth file recieve

You can recieve files, you need to turn beam recieve on from the connections tab in settings, then it should work (note this is not the same as the one in the comm manager)

Hi benscso,

Thanks. It works when I perform a hard reset. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] NunoLuz:
Hi,

I have an Elfin, and when I try to update it reaches only 3% and then reboots and gives the following error:

"The image file is corrupt. Please check your update utility."

I have downloaded the ROM from several mirrors, but keep getting this error.

Can anyone help??

Thanks

You must remove the micro SDHC card before flashing any new rom.

Hi,

I have removed both the SDHC and SIM cards.

BTW I have a chinese ROM installed and IPL/SPL 2.20

Any other suggestion?

Here is how to do it for ELFin

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

Read the instructions and follow this steps (mine)

- Do as it's said in the instructions until you get to the end of phase 2 (when your screen is grey BUT DON'T REBOOT)

You may get a screen with a pingouin on it... don't worry just reset and start over.

When you are at you grey screen close the command window and simply launch the ROMUpdateUtility in the Shadow folder.

Follow instructions... the rom should upload (no indications on PDA only on PC)

After a couple of minutes you device will reboot and that's it

Worked fine for me ^^

Hey

Bluetooth file recieve will work, you need to enable it from the Beam applet in the Settings/Connection, and also from the comm manager, then it should be fine, im reciveing files with no trouble through this method.

PPPPlease help cause i am panicking
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rikurn:
Thanks Stephen! This solved my problem of sending file from my laptop to Touch with Shadow 2.0

I tried to send the other way around (Touch to Laptop) with no luck. Do you know if I need to activate something?

Thanks again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] NunoLuz:
Hi wuub, thank you for your help,

I have tried that, but when I run ROMUpdateUtility.exe, and it starts to update it only goes as far as 3% and the it gives the same error :( :(

I just dont know what to do..

Any more suggestions?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wuub:
What's your SPL version ?

Was the screen grey or did you have a pinguin on the screen ?

Did you run the enanblerapi and cert_spc ?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wuub:
You need to flash it back with a Elfin only rom

Flash the dopodasia rom first, then cid unlock and try another flash of the shadow 2.1 rom. I´m sure it will work again!! Good luck. ;)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] NunoLuz:
Hi wuub

My SPL version is 2.20.

Yes I saw a light gret screen after step two, than ran the shadow rom update, that went up until 3% and gave me the same error... :( :(

Where can I get the original Elfin ROM?

Thanks

Nuno
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wuub:
This is the dopodasia official rom

http://www.dopodasia.com/download/R...7.1B_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
I did the same yesterday. It's because this ROM doesn't have a newer SPL in it. You need to use the top sticky in the forum, there's a link to the original DOPOD rom - see if you can get into bootloader mode (reset with camera button held) and flash it. If you can't get into bootloader mode, follow the sticky's instructions to use mtty.exe to get into bootloader mode.

I then think that you should avoid updating a ROM unless it has a newer SPL included, otherwise this issue will reoccur.

Ever since the Shadow 2.0, the ROM pack only comes with its own RUU files, I was using SwiftBlade (and I have to admit that his ROM pack is more intuitive) Blue ROM, I simply copy over the Blue ROM files pack and rename some files and you can simply do a one-shot USPL + RUU for the Shadow.

2.0 and 2.1 works fine for my Touch v2 (128/256)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] steveapp:
Sorry I haven't got that working, my usual method for transferring files is via the cable, and Storage Reader, and since I use a Mac that seems to be the best method. That said, my daughter picked hers up (she as a 64mb running Elves 5.0 and she started sending files without even thinking, using Bluetooth Explorer I think - typical of a 12 year old - will talk to her about it tomorrow, find out how she did it, if she can remember -)

Weather update problem

Well, I finaly figured out what the issue is here. It seems that starting the advanced Config tool screws up the weather info download.

After a Hard reset, I installed all my apps again constantly checking if the weather was still updated. I repeated this 2 or three times, with one difference the last time I didn't run the advanced config tool...so looks like a bug in that app to me.

Shadow2.1 TE Use in ELFin

Hi~ every ELFin User

Do your ELFin used ShadoW2.1 TE ,Is the memory correctly(ROM 256Mb/ RAM 128MB) ?

My EFLin only have half memory?? (ROM: 128MB / RAM:64MB )
[Touch GSM ROM Development] lox-tt:
Chief? I´m lox-tt... :D But no problem. I´m glad to see you back using dopod asia´s rom. Helped till yet everybody i gave the tip... ;)

Now you can flash again. But don´t forget to abort the USPL.exe after step 2 of 3 and instead of step 3 you flash the rom you want while touch is in "blank white screen".
[Touch GSM ROM Development] lox-tt:
It´s a known problem. Flash back to one of the original rom like the dopod asia which is listed one page before and reflash shadiow rom. That should solve your problem.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] benscso:
I think it is not a bug. If you don't select your city of the weather on Today screen but active the Advance Config, the city selection of the Advance Config will be empty and you cannot download your weather. You can input the city code manully(if you know) in the Advance Config and it will work again. The easy way is to select the city on Today Screen before activate the Advance Config.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Casaboontha:
That is exactly what I did....after starting advance config I wasn't able to download the weather data anymore
[Touch GSM ROM Development] benscso:
You have 2 ways to fix it:

- Hard Reset your device and then select your city on Today before activing the Advanced Config.

or

- input the city code manually in the Advance Config. --- you can input manually as below (set the today weather to Hong Kong - because I am living there):

Weather location: Hong Kong, HK

Weather location code: ASI|HK|HK---|HONG KONG

Then say "DONE" the system will reboot and you may change back the weather city on Today screen to your city afterward..

I believe it should work.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Casaboontha:
What I actually did was the first option, thanks anyway.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] X3n0n:
Hard-Reset doesn't fix the probleme, i did that and after install some apps, it didn't work anymore.

The city and city code are in advanced config, but no update....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] grahamkdt:
I know exactly what you mean... it's supposed to be an arrow pointing right to 'More'. I think it's because this ROM doesn't use the same font supplied with OEM ROM's, so the system is just using whatever symbol is in the place where the arrow should be, if that makes sense? :confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikewchandler:
thanks for the reply....I was beginning to think it was me. It was driving me crazy. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] SamSan:
Hey CloudyFa please include bluetooth explorer with updated rom... anyways this rom is excellent... thnx :)

I've had issues with Advanced Config as well. My weather was set in the today plugin... and working fine for three days. Installed apps, un-installed apps - still worked fine... opened Advanced Config and changed nothing - then weather doesn't update anymore - for any location! Hard reset cleared mine up and it's working properly again now. I've removed the link to the affending application so I can't start it accidentally. Definitely seems to be related to that application :confused:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] grahamkdt:
Have you CID unlocked your device first, using Pof's USPL? See sticky posts at top of this forum... if you've already done this, go through the unlock steps again to make sure it's completed properly. Failure to complete the CID unlocking is the biggest reason why ROM's won't install :)

Weather update issues... an apology!

Firstly, I'd just like to apologise for blaming Shaps Advanced Config tool for buggering up my weather updates in HTC Home. It seems the issue has nothing to do with this, even though other users have experienced similar problems.

However, the issue still stands. My weather has failed to update now for a couple of days, even though I hadn't opened Advanced Config, so we can count that one out. Has anyone got any idea what might be causing this? Even using Advanced Config, I can't get the weather to update at all - for any location on the planet!

Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Casaboontha:
I concur...I had the same issue the past few days, and I do want my weather..so I reverted back to the latest T-Mobile rom untill this is fixed. And I am not happy to revert to a bloated rom since the other functions I use work great (and faster) in this rom.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] grahamkdt:
Hi Casaboontha... where did you get official T-Mobile ROM from? I'm with T-Mobile and I'm just curious in case I ever need a warranty repair. I don't think they'll want to offer much help if they find ShadoW 2.1 TE listed in the device info! :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Casaboontha:
From the Dutch t-mobile site...they are offering an upgrade rom for both the elf and elfin version of the MDA touch.

IPL:2.26.0000

SPL:2.26.0002

Rom version: 2.26.114.52 NLD

Radio Rom: 3.08.90

Entering the serial gives you access to the download (which comes from HTC directly, they have a t-mobile section). I guess the Britisch t-mobile site should have the update as well.

Weather?

Can anyone shed any light on this weather issue? I've checked in my registry settings for anything obviously, but without knowing what I'm looking for it's pretty pointless.

I have found one thing though, within the registry, all the information about the current weather, and the next four days is there... high / low temperature, current temperature, current day, upcoming days temperatures, etc. It seems to be retrieving the information, but cannot display it in the plugin for some reason. Anyone else having this issue?? :confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] X3n0n:
I made some verifications :

I did a Hard-Reset, then i configured the weather module and took à look in the registry.

I wrote the key and values in a file on my DesktopPC and i have restored with a save my touch, a save where the weather module isn't working.

I take a look again in the registry and the key and values are the sames, so i think the probleme isn't in the registry but somewhere else...

If someone want to do the same verification, maybe i made a mistake but i'm pretty sure the problem isn't in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Wheather.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] grahamkdt:
I think you're right. If you look at my post above, I checked registry settings also, and the information is there, it's just not being show in the weather plugin for some reason. I re-checked this a minute ago. When I tap update weather, my device connects to GPRS to do the update, but the plugin still says "Can't update info.... blah, blah, blah". However, the registry settings show the updated weather information.

This gets stranger by the minute :confused: Does anyone understand what's going on here? Surely, it has to be the Home plugin itself??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mcdull:
Right after I update my Radio ROM Module, my weather will not update. However, when I try to flash again with 2.1, it works again.. I don't know why.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] waison:
For the weather problem, I have found the cause!

When I just flash the Rom, I can update the weather by ActiveSync without any problem. Then I have set up the internet connection (thru Bluetooth connection to another phone), then the weather update will fail to work.

I am sure my internet connection is fine, as I can browse web pages and online with MSN.

Even I remove the internect connection setting, connect the Elfin with AciveSync again, the weather still failed to update.:mad:

So , it should be a bug related to GPRS setting ??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chopsueyrulez:
I don't think so, I think it's just a problem of update, everybody could make the first update, just because it was the first, not because of the connection settings I guess.

Anybody know what the "Status" in the weather register is?? I have 3, I noticed other people have 2..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] X3n0n:
3 is for "unable to update weather blablabla"

2 is for normal update, with sun or cloud

1 is for "Download wheather need data connection it's expensive blablabla"

you can try to change the value ;)

No weather problems...

I also have the same weather problem as (i think) everybody else.

But when I enter the location code and name (from accuweather.com) directly into the registry and soft-reset, it updates fine.

If I press update again it states "cound't receive info for your location ... bla bla" but I just press update again. and voila there is the updated info....

I somethimes have to press "update" 3 or 4 times but then it shows the right info...

So i think it's not any app or setting problem it's just the weather plugin that is crappy, it has the info only it doesn't display it right.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] NCFreezz:
Weather solution!!!

I found a workaround that works flawlessly for me:

Disable HTCHome (Settings -> Today )

Open regedit en delete all key's in:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather

and

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings

now both keys are completely empty you should have:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather (empty)

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Forecast0 (empty)

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings (empty)

close regeditor

enable HTCHome, on todayscreen goto weather tab and select your city.

It now should update only sets temp. in F not in C.

again open regeditor and add dword value to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings

DWORDNAME: Celsius VALUE: 1

and thats it, it should work!! Please comment if in trouble..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] X3n0n:
Okay, it's working perfectly ;)

But, we should see on some days, because the problem came, with a fresh install, after some hours.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
It is not true, start everything again will do, of course, make sure your device is CID unlocked.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] NCFreezz:
Yes thats true but the reg keys where there with the fresh install.

I think the reg keys should be empty on a fresh install.

They should be made empty before the rom is cooked, and then you don't have this problem.
