I've got ELF010000 ORANG001 which is the rom which still seems unavailable for download anywhere. Tried to flash new HTC rom without CID unlocking. Learnt a lot the hard way since then!

Any help gratefully received
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
CardSecurityLevel shows "FF" which means CID locked. Your only hope is a shipped ROM with your device ID / CiD, or else asking Olipro to unbrick for you (not for free unfortunately).

I'm stuck. My elf was cid unlocked and i was running the diamond rom by gullum. Then I tried to flash my elf with a original rom. Bad idea. Now I'm stuck at the tricolor screen and can't flash other roms. I tried to follow the guide but I don't know how to install the USBAS drivers (I'm running vista). Tried mtty but it cannot connect. Is it possible that when I tried to flash my elf with an original rom the cid unlock got overwritten? I hope you guys can help me out.

Elfin Update

Hello,

I'm from brasil and I need some help

I tried to update my Elfin (3452)

In two times works fine, but I don't save the original Rom

Looking in his forum I found a Brazilian Rom

I save update this rom in my Elfin, after this my cell appears only the Initial screen from de Operator service ( CLARO )

After this fact I remenber my Elfin is GSM and the rom that used is CDMA

I think the problem is this diferent ROM.

In the 3 colors mode I cannot update any rom because my CID is locked (FF)

I've got backup rom from another Elfin Friend with the same Operator (claro)

But again don't work

With the flash card upgrade don't work too.... I created the ELF0IMG.NBH in the flash card but when I start the Elfin in 3 color, no appears any option...

Someone can help me ?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dare2know:
Thanks for all you Guys Valuable Info, i am able to re use my Touch Elf-In as after rom update it was Dead,

Thanks a lot once more
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Alcateam:
Guys

I found my ID and CID

ID - ELF010050

CID - BSTAR502

Please, someone have this rom to help me ?

My problem start when I update a ID - ELF010150. Now my device won't start. I think the tecnology is diferent.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Campello:
Device ID: ELF010050

CID : BSTAR502

This is the same information from my HTC (bought in Brazil)

When there are updating the ROM, these data are altered?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
No, your device's MODEL ID and CID are never altered. They're stored in an area of the memory (along with SIM unlock code, IMEI, serial number, etc) that cannot be overwritten with a regular way.

Interesting that you two both have different Device IDs but same CID.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Campello:
ok, tkx!

I did the backup of the ROM of my HTC.

Alcateam, do you want to try?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Alcateam:
Yes,

My cell is bricked

If you help

I will be been thankful

add me on the msn

alcateam@hotmail.com
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
If it's bricked (i.e. the IPL and SPL have been overwritten by a bad ROM), then his backup is not going to work.

You need a shipped (official) ROM for your specific CID and Model ID. A backup ROM does not have the electronic signature to flash anything onto a bricked device.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Alcateam:
So what can I do ?

I tried to find this rom

ID - ELF010050

CID - BSTAR502

But i don´t have sucess
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
You can wait for a 6.1 update (maybe in the fall, no one knows for sure).. Or PM a guy called Olipro who does it for 75 british pounds.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] killer22:

Help me, please!

My Elf, before, have an Original ROM(FRE, ORANGE). Last week, I've flashed an original ROM(WWE-2.20.456.1B), but it run only 1% then erro. Now, SPL: 2.28.0000 and it stop at tricolor. After i run MTTY and Reset device, its SPL still is 2.28.0000, while I used Snoopy Pro for many times but all the results have no ID Device and CID info.

Please, help me!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bytespider:
Well I killed my Orange UK, HTC Touch.

Accidently over wrote the USPL with a standard one, and then the damn thing died boot loader only....so

i bit the bullet and called orange and they offered me 2 options... £70 and get a replacement...or £30 and sign up for orange care at £6 pcm for a min of 4months....now most can see the second option adds up to £54 and im covered against any further damage to the phone...

clearly i'll read the terms and conditions...ie im not covered if i flash again.

So im a lil nervous about flashing new firmware to the new one when it arrives tomorrow. Shame theres no way to get a full firmware from the thing thats flashable when the device is CID locked. :( hence my reluctance to do it again...

But the tip here is be open and honest with your provider...tell them you were upgrading the software, they;ll assume its a legit one and do the best they can to help you....especially if its a cute sounding girl :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
after hours of reading i think this might be my problem, did the unlock and got the =0 so it must be CID unlocked but then it would only show the o2 loader screen for 5 seconds and then shut off. i can get it into tri-color mode...shows

IPL 2.21.0002

SPL 1.11.0000

im not sure if i need to the elfin_USPL which i thought i did or if i just need to flash the old ROM or a new ROM onto it....but if this is the case how do i flash a ROM from the tri-color screen? ive done tons of reading but nothing pops out at me as to how to do this. help please :)

tried running ResetDevice in mtty and all it does is shut off the phone and restart it with the O2 screen and then shut off again which is what it was already doing....dunno if this helps any, just trying to cover all the possible steps of recovery
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
I have problem, my ELF isn't turning on (is it bricked?). I've been able to flash to various cooked ROMS without problems during the weekend, but I noticed a weird line while using the camera and decided to flash my original ROM (with everything: original OS, IPL, SPL) to see if it still goes on with it. Now I have an ELF that doesn't turn on :( Is there any way to recover it or is it dead?

EDIT: @zac93218: You can use the ROMUpdateUtility from the bootloader, think it's like that, but I'm not entirely sure (I flashed mine like that with some cooked ROMS yesterday and it went fine, but with the original ROM it looks like a dead ELF)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Just install the USPL by htctouchp. It is found in my signature below. Go to bootloader mode and run the RuuUpdateUtlilty.exe. That's all. Good luck.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Doesn't turn on? Even in bootloader mode (reset it while holding down camera button)? If it's not turning on, your battery may be dead. Just let it charge on its own for 10 minutes, the hit the reset button at the bottom.

Another way is to take the battery out for 10 minutes, put it back in and recharge for a few minutes and press the reset.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
I've had it recharging all day and it doesn't do anything (the leds at the speaker don't turn on either). Could it be due to flashing with the original ROM? Can something like that happen? You can revert to older IPL/SPL?

I've taken the battery out, lets see if that works.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
You can revert to your original IPL/SPL, that's not a problem. I had a similar issue to what you described. I had to remove battery for a while.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rohithathie:
i have the same problem :S i have a tmobile version, it shows up for 5 seconds and then it shut downs :S i tried all the solutions, mtty. it shows SPL 1.11.0000, but before it was 2.26.0000 HELP PLEASE
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
OK! I thought I killed it by doing that. Hope this fixes it. Thanks for the help.

*crosses fingers*
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
I thought the ROMUpdateUtility was just something built into one of the programs i have...didnt know i could bring that up by itself...how would i got about doing that?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
Change the ROM file (extension nbh is in the same folder as ROMUpdateUtility) to the one you want to flash (rename it to RUU_Signed if you are using the one from dsixda's sig), and when you have your phone in bootloader run the application (you have to have an unlocked CID for this to work, I think you said you had it?).

Anyways, my ELF is still not turning on after changing the battery, etc. :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rohithathie:
Zac, i had the same problem as you, operator logo for 5 seconds then went off. my spl was 1.11.000 :S i reflashed it to 2.28.0000 and it worked finally after 4 hours of working on it :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
im still not sure im understanding....i dont know how to make my computer recognize the phone because its in tri-color boot mode...so therefor i dont know how to get the ROMUpdateUtility open either...can somebody explain it a little better for me?

think of it as flashing a bricked phone for dummies :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Connect your phone to the USB. Your PC won't recognize it.. that's fine.

Then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe. That program looks for an .NBH file in the RUU folder. So the ROM you want to use can be named my_rom.NBH or whatever. Just make sure it's the only NBH file in that folder. You can rename the old RUU_signed.nbh to RUU_singed.nbh.bak so that it's not seen by the RomUpdateUtility.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
oh ok now i think i understand a lil more...but where do i get the ROMUpdateUtility cause i dont think i have just that.

I previously had Swiftblade's Blue Elfin ROM on my phone and the only ROMUpdateUtility i can find is in there but i cant use that can i? i tried opening just that and nothing would happen...

[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Copy the NBH file that you want to flash into that RUU folder and remove the other NBH file that's already in there. Then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
ok so i understand the copying and pasting of files...i think but the one thing that keeps throwing me for a loop is i still dont know how to run the flash....after i copy over the different ROM and remove the old do i just run it like i did before? (click the start icon within the file and let it do its thing?) because before the phone had to be recognizable by the active sync before it would start....will it start without being actively connected?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Yes, if you are in bootloader.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
What happens if you have two NBH files in the folder?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Why don't you try it.

It will choose one of them.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
ok one last question before i give it a shot.

Since i used swiftblade's Blue Elfin rom that had a built in CID unlocker/cracker so that all i had to do was Flash his ROM to the phone without actualy doing a CID unlock prior....does my phone now recognize that ROM as being the original ROM and can i just re-flash that perticular ROM back on it?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
I don't understand your question.

I just flash USPL 2.28 from htctouchp (see my signature) and then flash Blue Elves straight from the RUU folder (running RomUpdateUtility.exe) rather than all the other stuff they mention. Plus their USPL is probably old.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zac93218:
well what i ment by that was back when i got the phone it had a german ROM on it and i had to flash an english ROM on it before i could even use it. Luckly it was already SIM unlocked but instead of going through the process of learning how to CID unlock it (i wanted to use it right away) so i flashed Swiftblade's Blue Elfin ROM which had the a CID unlocker built in it so that it was bypassed. What that means is after flashing the Blue Elfin ROM the phone was still CID locked but had the new ROM on it....make sence?

Well with a ROM program set up like that, could i just flash that ROM back on it? meaning since the phone is still CID locked does it recognize that ROM as being the original? it was a great ROM...only reason why i was CID unlocking it (which got to this point in the first place) is i wanted to change the text keyboard because the windows mobile keyboard was way to small to text as much as i do.

I know the Id : ELF010050 but not the CID... The device is Italian.

Other problem is that the bootlooader have IPL 1.17.0002 and SPL 1.17.0000 accidentaly flashed (this version of spl and ipl are for Elf).

I have a elf wich i tried to flash with another rom that a have dumped from another elf...

first: one elf is from UK orange.

the seconde elf is Portuguese original rom.

at the end of the process it did tell me all ok, but the elf did not ever responde, it had white screen and when i did a soft reset never again work as so ever....

is it realy dead?

nothing work, soft reset, hard reset, taking the batery off and wait..., try to charge it all night long... nothing...

is there anything i can do to revive it?

is doens´t even charge the batery.

can anyone help me?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
You installed the USPL first, right? If yes, then you are ok. Go to bootloader (hold down camera button while pressing reset) and flash a working ROM from there. You just need to run the RomUpdateUtility.exe from the RUU folder..

no signal at all, maybe if a put quiet for some days without batery... can it work?

does elf have an internal batery, that recordes some info in case of stay completely out of batery? if it is that...maybe for a while without batery work´s...no?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Um... are you sure you have an HTC Touch GSM (Elf/Elfin) and not an HTC Touch CDMA (Vogue)? You should be able to see the bootloader, which is the tri-colour screen.

Elf SD Card flashing

and not even in that way it reacted...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
Cant enter bootloader [Solved]

Device info:

Touch version : Elf

Device ID : ELF010000

CID : HTC__001

IPL : 2.27.0002

SPL : 2.28.0000

My device cant even enter the bootloader. I have tried all theseElf_Resets but nothing.

Even more concerning there charging light is not on (USB and wall charger)

I have already tried the Snoopy and Mtty thing but no luck there since my PC is not even picking up my device.

I have tried flashing my shipped ROM with no success..since there is no connection being picked up!

Help!:eek::eek:

EDIT: Some luck may be on my side. I still had Touch Essential 2.2CE on my Flash Card and tried this and it would seem that it flashed successfully..jst booting up now...YES it works:D

[TIP??]So as a tip that may be useful for recovering devices. The SD flash may worked provided your device is CID unlocked!!

Ok..now that i am breating mormally again..the question remains. Why did none of the Elf resets(link above) not work?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vagaroso:
can you tell me exactly what you did...all please...

even before you flash with sdcard, because mine is doing the same think, no response at all... neither the led of charging... and i have tried everifing... included what you said... maybe something with the snoop ou mtty makes some diference... and then the flash with the sdcard...

how did you reset you elf, to start with the flash sdcard?

Thank´s

ps: my breath still not yet good...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
I didn't do anything special. I followed the instructions for the snoopy and Mtty as described in the beginning.

As for the flashing from the sd card check out the Touch Essential thread for the rom and links for the instructions. remember your card must be fat32 format.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
A few month ago i got this problem in one of my devices, and the only solution was the warranty, and as even they could not enter the device and they don't notice that the device was flashed, the phone was replaced.

well but i bougth it in ebay... no warranty for that...

do you know any way to sending it to HTC, or other for repair?

Thank´s
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vagaroso:
it is in FAT32, but how did you get to do the soft or hard reset?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
posting from my phone socan't copy the links for you...but read the first post of the touch essential rom thread..the links are there. follow the link to the wiki...

is your device cid unlocked?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
Well i brought mine also online, but as HTC devices have 2 years of warranty, at least mine, in the past months before the upgrade of the HTC CLUB PAGE, when you registered a device you could check the warranty status, now you can´t so you can send a mail to HTC with your serial number asking for the warranty.

When i send my device they don't asked me for my pop (proof of purchace).
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vagaroso:
yes i think so.

if not is there a problem?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vagaroso:
And to where did you send?

Directly to HTC repair center?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
Yes, directly to the HTC repair center, i have to mention that its an unbranded phone. I don't know if they recive branded devices.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vagaroso:
and can you tell me here to (wich repair center) did you send, can you give me the contact?

because i searched here in Portugal and the autorized company that do the repaires...well they are not very good...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CyZeeK:
Well i wrote them asking for directions about my nearest HTC support center.

Look at here: Mail Support

[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] Zioward:
Hi, I've a rooted (SuperSU) P Smart. I'm struggling with the background app killing policy: lots of apps that should remain in background and send me notifications are costantly removed (the system is also randomly killing the superuser process too!). For instance, Pushbullet is not usable, Fabulous doesn't start its rituals and so on.

Searching the net it seems that I need to add the desired apps to a "protected apps" list, but there is no such section on my phone. The only similar thing I've managed to find is "ignore battery optimization" (per app) in settings -> apps and settings -> battery, but no way.

Any suggestions?
