argh, i tried to unlock a elf a friend of mine bought,

sim and cid unlocked it(uspl=, all seemed normal,

rebooted entered pin and fetched a coffee.

When i came back the device was off,

tried to restart it didn't work,

the orange led is flashing about 8 sec on, 2 sec off,

i am able to enter bootstrap loader, but if i start the device the boot splash screen occours and after 5 sec the power turns off.

bricked or fault battery?

able to revive with this guide?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
can u tell the IPL/SPL version that u see in the boot loader?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] open_source:
IPL 2.81.0002

SPL 1.11.0000

mtty says it's still unlocked, but i simply cannot start it

My Problem is that i didn't even flash a new rom, only unlocked it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
seems like u've flashed the Elf's USPL onto ur Elfin. download the Elfin_USPL and flash it in bootloader mode (directly run the romupdateutility in RUU folder after unzipping).

GUIDE << Recover / Revive your dead / bricked HTC ELF or ELFIN

Ok read thru all the 4 pages but it doesn't explain a single thing about how to revive a DEAD elf. My elf doesn't turn on and before it died, symptoms were 1) In bootloader mode when connect to pc via usb, the tri color changes colour to some ****ty color. 2) Auto shut and hangs at the smart mobility black screen. Been trying to power up since last evening but no success.

Anybody with this problems!!!

Half Dead htc elf..

Pls help me.....

I'm having a HTC elf 3450 device...I updated it to wm 6.5 with the help of XDA-Developers site. After some time later it started to increase & decrease volume automatically. The it start restarting automatically. Now it shows this message every time when I'm starting the mobile."This Operation will Delete all your data , and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Action to restore Manufacturer default". But I pressed all the keys nothings happen. So I have to remove the battery and keep it for some time. Then I have to hold the call while pressing power button. The it start normally. I can get to the boot loader through CID unlock thing. The problem is my call key, End key, Camera key and the volume keys are not working. If the mobile switch off the I have to keep it for a long time after removing the battery to restart it back. Other wise it's showing the same message again & again. Active Sync and other functions are working properly.

What am I suppose to do pls help meeeeeee..... is this a problem with hardware or software? is there are any way to update boot loader?

Pls help me there is no way to use this device any more..........

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yes i'm crossposting and Double Posting.

But again i have not seen the trying of....

1. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)

kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe

2. put your device into the cradle

3. Run mtty and Choose WCEUSBSH001 in 'PORT' (if it doesn't show then you didn't stop all active sync processes above!)

4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset. (for some devices it can also be "set 14 0")

5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted

6. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

7. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

Method is for Kaiser.

But a big change that Bootloader Accepts the same commands.

Original thread:

It might be that this had been suggested in another long "I'm stuck thread" But haven't seen it yet, but will check.

Being stuck at 3% and bootloader does not mean the whole Rom in Bootloader is corrupted?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
'task' command is not supported by Elf(in) bootloader. even 'set 16 0' wont make any difference.

first find out the CID status of the phone following the instructions on first page. also find out the CID/DID of the phone.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
Have you CID unlocked the Elf? From your details it looks like you have flashed the ElfIn USPL to Elf. Try to flash a shipped ROM t your device, that may be the only way to revive your device. Check the other threads in this forum which mentions different recovery methods

[Touch GSM ROM Development] littld:
Hi, I just had to follow these instructions and finally found the model number and the right original rom. It's great that someone spent the time putting these instructions down or I'd have had a brick for life.

Just an aside, it is not obvious from a lot of the rom guides that the CID unlock thing appears to need to be done EACH TIME you install a new rom. I've updated the rom maybe 10 times and needed to CID unlock each time.

Thanks again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
Ok, so if you found your original rom obviusly i guess, you know your DEVICE ID and CID, can you post them plz.?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
Yes i know but its relatively easy to find.

Most of the names for "DEVICE ID" begins with:

ELF01

ELF02

ELF03

So just do a search with one of those strings.

I hope it helps you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
Your welcome bud.

But there is 2 ways.... one is do de USPL process before flash a rom... or with the MTTY process just check for the "g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 00" line.

Most of the time you dont need the USPL process to flash a cooked or dumped rom.

We don't recomend, if its not necesary, the flash of shipped roms. because cooked roms are better. Shipped rom are useful for warranty process or if you want to sell device as it comes out of the box.

You are so lucky. Because most of the time "NOT ALWAYS" ELFIN roms asesinate ELF devices, and that was what you did. This does not happen on ELFIN devices flashed with ELF roms, it wil shows only the half of memory.

So take care... and try to find your original rom ONLY for ELF.

So you flashed an Elfin ROM on an Elf, looks like.

Hello,

My Elf stuck yesterday on the Hard reset screen, while switching it on at the morning.

I have tried:

2. hard reseting it

3. tried all 3 method for accessing the bootloader (from the wiki), for installing a new rom, but failed as well.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Maybe your two front buttons are stuck?

Because, to hard reset you normally need to press reset while holding the two buttons. Maybe they got stuck somehow, so everytime you reset they get pressed.

See if you can tap those buttons a few times to get it out of that state.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hey!

Better check what dsixda suggested...this s**t happens!

Beside that, I have some questions for you:

1)Do you know your CID&DID? Is there any shipped ROM that matches them?

2)Does the phone charges normally?

2.1)Have you tried fully charging it-then removing the battery for 10min & then try turning it on without microSD & SIM cards?

2.2)If you remove the battery while it is turned off, connect it via the usb cable to the pc (without the battery) and push power button while holding camera button does it show the tricolour screen?

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mgsolidsnak3:
The buttons are fine.

I got the phone from tmobile uk.

I have tried charging it the removing the battery for 30+ minutes.

I tried the usb method, it doesnt work.

Actually today morning, I have tried again to switch it on, and miraculously it did, like nothing happened at all. I took the chance to backup everything and then flashed the latest spl, ipl and radio and then flashed the HTCTOUCHP 1.2 rom. Everything was working fine for the last 15hours until a few minutes ago when my phone just froze, I have removed the battery and switch it on only to find out that i am stuck again at the hard reset screen unable to do anything at all.

Thanks guys for your help, I hope my device is not totally dead, although I am really tempted these last days since my device breakdown to move on and get an iphone 3G.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mgsolidsnak3:
After my last post I have done the following:

Removed sim & SD cards then:

I have removed the battery for 30 min. Switched it on = nothing.

Then removed the battery for 40-50 min. switched it on = nothing.

Removed battery for 1.5 hours, switched it on = success.

Uninstalled battery status, PCM keyboard and changed back PP to 4mb (was set to 8mb).

Switched off the phone, inserted SIM & SD cards.

Switched ON = failure. Again the same thing happened, the device is stuck yet again in the hard reset screen. I'll have to wait for another 1.5 hours for being able to try something.
