Unbricker rom not working for me

Unbricker ROM didn't work for me.

after 2% device restarts and goes to Botloader back and gave model ID error

IPL 2.81.0002

SPL 2.28.0000

Device ID by snopypro:

ELF030050

CID: TMOB101
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sandman01:
Hi basha!

Have you also tried to combine the goldcard metohode with the unbricker rom?

Jus be sure to make a correct goldcard, and than try to flash your device via bootloader with the unbricker rom.

This combination let my ELF030050 T-MOB102 unbrick

Check your goldcard with mtty if it work. Mayby test other microSD cards (from other manufacturer) to get an positiv solution at mtty.

perl script error

Thanks you sandman01,

Now I am having another problem.

Everything done accordingly, but when I'm try to make Goldcard image, it gives me error says 'cant open perl script "typhoonnbfdecode.pl" : no such file or directory.

But "typhoonnbfdecode.pl" is there at 'itsutilsbin'.

See my screenshot.

Can someone help me to solve this?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sandman01:
You ar in the root of your Drive!!!! c:\

You have to go in the itsutilsbin directory to sart the perl script. c:\itsutilsbin\

comand: cd itsutilsbin

if you make the goldcard, go in the comand window to c:\itsutilsbin\ and there you have to enter all the comands mentioned in the WIKI
[Touch GSM ROM Development] basha:
It worked as 'dsixda' says

How stupid I am?

Sorry to bother you

Image done successfully and I already flashed unbricker rom since I couldnt find my original rom.

It worked like a miracle

Many Thanks to 'dsixda' an all others:):):)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zohrann:
A question,

how big should the goldcard be?? I can but a 512Mb Kingston for 5 euro's and make this my goldcard. Should work i think since roms for my HTC 3450 don't exceed 64Mb.....is this logic of mine true???

ThnX in advance, also for this small tool for big problems i hope i'll never have to use when experementing with roms....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] milani.ahmad:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] basha:
Hi milani.ahmad,

After flashing unbricker rom successfully, flash shipped rom exactly as your model ID.

If not do uspl 2.28 by pof and flash any shipped rom.

If you still having problem, do uspl, unzip any shipped rom and delete SPL.nbh and run ruu from extracted folder.

Else, It will gives you "MODEL ID ERROR"

This what my experience.

I have succesfully recovered my TMOB101 ELFIN 030050 (this is German Tmob and couldn't find shipped rom yet with same MID and CID)

Now I have RUU_Elfin_HTC_WWE_2.20.405.1R_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_RED_Ship.exe

Hope this info will help you.:):):)

Hi basha

im stuck in bootloader and i cant flush any rom , not unbraker not any other ...

how can i hard-spl within the 3color screen ????
[Touch GSM ROM Development] basha:
If you are not successful with unbricker ROM, you have to make Goldcard by your microsd and gold card can supercid your elf or elfin.

See goldcard wiki page in first post.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] milani.ahmad:
i had made the gold card

The problem is it dose not work even with goldcard

what should i do

Hi guys! I succesfully created gold card and used to flash the test rom..Everything went ok but when the phone restarted, it shows me the screen with "Smart mobility" and "not for sale", the after 4-5 seconds it's restarting again...What is the problem with my phone? Thank you, and all the people putting a lot of effort for us and the phones!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dolbyj:
hi

i've tried with your gold card method but nothing happened...

Still go to bootloader...

Ipl 2.20.0002

Spl 2.26.0000

elf 0100

what can i do?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] milani.ahmad:
If you R 100% sure that you made the gold card correctly (when u restarst you should see "checking SD content") then it means that the .nbh file you are useing is not the original one so try ununbriker or with usb sniffer find out your device info. Also check with mtty that the "g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0"
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Wow.. it's Xmas which means a lot of people have new HTC Touches... and I've received about 4 or 5 PMs today from people who have bricked their phones.

it tried to copy itsutils.dll and then said this :

could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?

try restarting your device or restart active sync

or maybe your device is application-locked.

i restarted reveral times but nothing. always the same thing.

and the psdread -l shows the same info

i have read it from beginning to end, but i cannot find solution for my problem.

i mean command psdread -l.

i don`t know why i can`t see the serial number.

please help
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sonblack:
Before you use the command line psdread -l, you have to connect PPC and PC by ActiveSync (Off course, your card have to be inserted to PPC in advance). When they connect, you perform above command line and wait a minute, you will see serial number.

I did successfully with my friend ELFIN (ID: ELF010050 and CID: DOPAS601) by this way (GOLD CARD). The ROM I use is

RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1B_4.1.13.51_03.0 7.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe

Hello!

I have the Elfin died. 2 weeks ago, I used USPL but previously not copy the 2 files *. CAB on first. Then I upgraded to version 6.1 ROM origin and died at the bootloader.

I have used MTTY and Snoopy Pro but can not find the ID / CID server. the error "Error: InitDecoder".

I have read and maked a GOLRCARD successful,when i check with MTTY the report "g_cardkey sercurity level = 0". Then inserted the card into died ELFIN and up to the original ROM. But the run failed, server report "invalid ID". I also run the "Unbricker" and no results.

Now I have to do? Thank you

[Touch GSM ROM Development] blackplatypus:
Hi I'm using an Elfin, HTC Touch, my "starting conditions were":

Unfortunately I experienced strange reception problems, so I tried different roms and radios. I tried to flash "Shipped rom Elfin 3.07.720.03 WWE + 3.07.707.02" becaue I was too stupid to read that its for cooking only :rolleyes: However I flashed ELFIN_HSPL_3.10, so I dont really understand why I was able to brick it.

Now, im stuck in the RUU bootloader, with IPL 3.1 and SPL 2.26

=> Tried to revive with mtty - did not work

=> Unbricker ROM on sd card - did not work

=> flashing original rom => there are only 2 with the same Device ID, but it seems CID must be equal too

Unfortunately I have no second PPC in order to retrieve get the SD card serial, is there really no other possibility ? Linux? and its an sandisk so probably wouldn't work.

Would it possible that somebody sells me a SD card + the id number?

Im really stuck for now, dont know what I could else try. In addition I have a SPB Backup, from my Elfin, does that help for something ? Maybe registry backup and there included is the SD serial ? dunno

FIXED, I was able to create the gold card using an navigator (most of them are modified pocketpcs) to get the SD card ID (a sandisk, funnily enough the only card vendor, with that the gold card shouldnt work

[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Hi guys,

There is a new and much easier way to generate the Gold Card. Using QMAT you can generate a Gold Card easily. I have updated the Wiki ... please see the last section for details. I have not tested this method yet however, but it should work.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blackplatypus:
Another method to get the sd card id which should be added to the wiki, if you have an inbuilt card reader (laptop), external usb card reader do not work. You can get the id using windows (http://jo0ls-dotnet-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/12/read-sd-card-cid-serial-number.html) or if u use linux, use this command

got it from http://vivien.chappelier.free.fr/typhoon/install.html.I can confirm both methods work great :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] lanyusa:
Thanks a lot for this...

My Elfin is alive!!!!!!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jaswick Cephas:
If sd card id can be secured by using laptop can someone please update WIKI with step by step instructions.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Thanks man, but the last link no longer works, as the file is no longer there.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blackplatypus:
Sry I misspelled the link: http://vivien.chappelier.free.fr/typhoon/install.html, you dont need the rest of the text as it explains only how to install linux on HTC phone, and it is out of date.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Hmm.. well, you still need a Windows PC to write the Card ID and the Gold Card image to the SD.

BTW, where is the actual program for reading the Card ID in Windows? I followed your first link but didn't find any software for it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blackplatypus:
Yeah probably, dunno how psdwrite works, maybe also "dd" is able to write the image on the disk, "dd if=goldcard.img of=/dev/mmc/disc0/blk0 seek=0 count=0x120" untested, dont know if it works, but "dd" should be able to do the job. The software is included as attachmet "JDMcF.SDCard.zip" you need to compile it, its .NET code, if someone needs it, I can compile it and post a link. The "linux way" to get the SID, is more fail-safe, as windows messes up a lot with different SDHC Host driver, or win32apis, for instance I had to modify the JDMcF code a bit in order to get my disk recognized. With linux u just use a boot cd (ubuntu live cd, knoppix,.. whatever) need a command shell with root rights (I think) copy paste the command and ur done, not much u can fail.

I did all the ways and still not working

I still get g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF

Here is my explanation.

My HTC elfin keeps on the Boot screen, the first one, the black one.

I've tried many roms form USB with color bars sreen and form SD.

I think that something happen with the IPL or SPL or anything.

So, Is there any way to CID unlock from SD card.

Here is my data

Ipl 2.20.002 Spl 2.20.0000

Inside the phone it is writen ELF0100

On the batery it is writen ELF0160.

It is a Spanish Vodafone called HTC Touch P3450.

Hey guys, I cannot seem to get the .img file written to my SD card. I am sure that it does not get written because the size of the card does not change. Is there an alternative method to write to the card. The one using the perl script does not work for me.

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Read the end of the Wiki..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rafiki6:
Thanks, unfortunately I don't have a working WM phone, otherwise I would have done it the original way. I meant a method to write to the SD card using the reader. The one in the wiki does not work for my card.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Check the previous page in this thread.. someone mentioned a way to do it without another WM device but i never tried it.

nothing written

I've used both ways to write the goldcard.imf file.

When i use psdwrite f: goldcard.img 0 0x120 nothing is wrtiten on the SD card, and when i use psdwrite -1 goldcard.img 0 0x120 say that i dont have permision to write.

affter that i try the mtty and still get FF

Cannot unbrick HTC ELF what so ever!

Hey guys!

I love the gold card idea and how hard you guys worked to make it.

I have a problem with my Elf though. Even the gold card didnt work.

K so i was trying to upgrade my ROM had everything unlocked btw...

And so I downloaded a rom which i had my eye on (which i didnt know was on the offical HTC Website)

After successfuly downloading the ROM I started updating... 3% later the HTC crashes and my RUU SPL went from 1.12.**** to 2.26.000 :confused:

Now I cannot install ANY roms and I tried the gold card.

The gold card was 100% completed except for one part. When I tried to transfer the goldcard.img to the SD Card

"

C:\itsutilsbin>psdwrite f: goldcard.img 0 0x120

f: - (

Drive geometry: 0x1 cyls, 255 t/cyl 63 s/t 512 b/s - 7.84 Mbyte

CopyFileToSDCard(goldcard.img:00000000, 1, 0x0, 00000120)

"

But Nothing went to my SD Card... :confused:

And No I do not have a extra WM Device nor any of my friends because they like their lame like that.

I have a Rogers ELF0101 HTC

And yes... i did get the OEM french ROM and still did not work.

any idea's?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] erklix:
The same to me

There is no rom i could update, no succes on bootloader screen,no success botting form SD card. I've tried all ROMs. Bricked rom didnt work, any arom any way i get the same 2% and out, 3% and out, directly out.

I've done the gold card, tha last step, write to SD, if i do it with a Card reader it seems ok, but nothing in the SD, when i try write with a WM device i get the write permission denied.

The only thing i did before crash was intalling Hinavigator today plugin. i was not playing with roms uploaders, anything.

I've read all post, ive done all things.

So i have one question to experts. The same way it is possible accessing the device by commnads with mty, Is there a way to access the flash memory where the F****** g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF registry is writen and modify it?, i mean, when a program a PIC, uControler, i can access any registry on the device and modify any flag. Can this be done on my ELFIN?

Thanks for your patience.
