Need urgent help

Hi everyone,

I have downloaded many available roms to be flashed on my HTC TOUCH ELF0100(P3450), but unfortunately none worked.

It either says Invalid Model No. or

ROM Utility did not open or

sometimes it does start to upload, but the phone restarts after 3% and it cancels the upload.

Can anyone kindly guide me on a step by step procedure to upgrade my P3450 with a WM6.1 or 6.5 (even Khatri's or Made in India V2) ROM.

I have downloaded the following ROMs:

ELF SX 2.0 / ELF SX 4.1 / Elf-in-Shadow 2.1 CE / Miky 6682_ful_WWE / Onxy_ult_4.6 / RUU_Elfin_hTc_Asia_WWE_30770702_411371_033490_Blue .exe / Made_in_India V2

Your immediate response with step wise procedure and possible links would help..

Akshay

I've try to flash several times, try to flash with SD but nothing happen. I need my phone...please HELP ME

Make sure your sd card is less than 2 gig, and it has to be formatted fat32 (

not

fat or fat 16!!!)!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] samsonmirah:
I've did it and still got same problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] samsonmirah:
I've resolve this problem by flashing official ROM : 838Pro_SEA_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712 then I flash official strip AT&T finally I flash Langit 6.D and my device work normally

Thanks for your support:):):):):):):):)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
If the rom image is corrupt, ALWAYS try a different rom. It could be the download was interrupted and isn't complete. Hard SPL WON'T let you install something that will brick your device, romwise, it issues these warning to let you know the rom isn't compatible.

Cheers...:D

Hi,

been looking for Hero ROM update on HTC, and run into this: http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=270&cat=2&dl_id=653. Thought you might be interested.

I apologize if this is not news for you, but I couldn't find any threads on this specific recent ROM here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pegaz:
I Don't know why but somebody without a reason closed my thread in development section...

I was looking everywhere and didn't find it ..Does anybody could be so kind and give me an original htc magic splash screen or boot screen whatever you call it? Because I've a branded version and this drives me crazy. I wanna make my device just like it come straight from HTC distribution not from an operator. Big thanks in advance!

I think that's the original one and that's what I'm looking for:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nxt:
Bump, I'd like this too
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lpasq:
just wondering if you want a totally unbranded device, wouldn't the htc sapphire prefer to not sport a magic label?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yschandra:
You can find it as part of the recent firmware update issued by HTC. If you are unable to find it, post it here I will see how I can upload it for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pegaz:
It would be great but will it be in mysplash.rgb565 file ready to flash just the splash screen? Or it is whole bundle with other updates? If yes I wanna stay with my hero rom and don't have any exp in stripping roms apart so any advices how to do that are highly appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Bump.

I would second that motion to shoot that **** my way. ;)

I have been trying to track down a simplistic "hTC" branded splash screen. I am quite pleased with my boot image, so I don't mind that.

I like the look of the one you have displayed for us. MINUS the "Magic" thrown in there randomly. I'm so tired of hTC renaming their devices every five minutes to adhere to the distributors and consumers.

If anyone comes across a sexy looking splash screen file, POST THAT STUFF!

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pegaz:
I made something for you. One of them I found ,another is a little modification of the first one. If you like it and wanna have it on splash screen find a tool for splash screen that converts this image to *.rgb file which is flashable. I haven't changed my splash yet so you have to look around how to do that. Remember there are two splashes If you want to have just one kind you have to flash every with the same picture. Greetings
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Thanks Pegaz!

That first one is drop-dead-gorgeous! :eek:

Very nice. I'm trying to find some creative "hTC" splash screens. I know about that program or software you're referring to that allows you to format and create your own splash screen image based from any picture you see fit...as long as it's sized properly.

I'll have to look into flashing a new splash image onto my device. I don't want to use ADB. Hopefully there is an alternative to this. I have heard that folks have done this in fastboot mode. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blunden:
If you could post it, that would be awesome. It looks very clean. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yschandra:
Here you go splash1_HTC_Magic.zip

Unzip it and flash the file using fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
thanks for the upload

whats the fastboot methord for installing??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] elite_is3:
bump, whats the install procedure??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pegaz:
As far as I know to flash boot image in Dream/Magic we change it using this commands:

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565	- change first boot img

fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 - change second boot img

fastboot reboot

so... we need *.rgb565 files but in your zip is *.NB0 ... so..? how to flash it with your file ?,have you done it on your MAGIC ? and are you 100% sure that won't damage the device?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yschandra:
*.NB0 is the extension used by HTC, the contents is RGB565, I have verified it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
so how do you extract the 565 file winrar won't open the .nb0 file so is there any more help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yschandra:
You don't extract NB0 file, it is RGB565 file so you just flash that file. If you are not comfortable rename it to .rgb565 !
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
i've flashed rom with success so why when i fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

cmd console just says waiting for device??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lpasq:
which image is my splash2? after startup splash1 image myhero rom shows the cool hero animation image with the word hero and two little droids peeking. then it loads a shimmering htc logo that is simply the htc letters. is the htc image the splash2???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pegaz:
For example in my magic from orange: first is Orange logo= splash1 , next is HTC MAGIC (the same as on a picture)=splash2, next are screens that come from rom - as you said : cool hero animation and after that lettering HTC shining. So basically to remove operator logo you flash splash1 with the same image from splash2 and it looks like one splash
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lpasq:
i had previously flashed a new splash1 and just now flashed the "htc magic" image with no problem. i cannot flash a splash2 though. my boot image sequence now looks as follows:

"htc magic" image > blank screen > "hero" animated image with two peeking droids > "htc" animated image that has a shimmering effect.

Is the blank screen the space where my splash2 image would appear? when attempting to flash splash2 i get an error that partition does not exist.

any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

***reading a bit through the dream posts, i see that certain spl do not have a splash2. is mine one of them? is the dark screen after splash1 and the hero image normal?***
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] myx4ever:
Given the fact that I myself was looking on how to change my splash screen I will ask my questions in this thread.

1) I have a vodafone branded 32A magic.

2) boot sequence : vodafone splash (takes verrrry long) and then directly the rom sequence( I have cursordroid 0.7 which has a problem here, it shows google nexus splash - see here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAfC1dHJgl0 ) -

So, I would like to change my splash1 screen (the vodafone branded screen) ;

- how can I make a backup of this splash screen (with vodafone logo)

- beside the archive posted here, do we have any other splash screen models? (I for instance thought" htc magic" splash was pretty nice).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thechaoticstu:
I was also wondering, is there any way to back up the splash screen. Trying to backup Vodafone splash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] linuxluver:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Zeus:
And installed Modaco's ROM ( nice work fella ) - a few questions ( I'm new to this so bear with me).

1) Where do I get the new 'radio' - and how do I install it? ( If you say 'push' it to the phone, can you explain that.

2) Does BlueX make te Bluetooth work on the Hero ( send & recieve files ). Yes I did a search!

3) Is there a simplistic way to partition my SD card? I'm on a Mac with no access to PC / Linux machines

4) I did ( and glad did :) ) a Nandroid backup which I used once effectively - where s the backup file, is it on the phones computer. If so can I transfer it to the SD card ( and still use it )..I want to save space as I'm down to 97mb.

5) Finally, still to save space, can I et the various program cache files to use the SD card instead of the phones memory.

Thanks all :):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shluggity:
1) The most recent radio can be found at MoDaCo here. It's packaged as a *.zip so installation is as easy as copying it to /sdcard as update.zip and then applying it as before from the recovery screen.

2) Dunno.... haven't pursued BT xfers myself yet.

3) I've no experience with Macs so dunno what partitioning software is available for them, but you can partition your card non-destructively (shrink the FAT32 partition and create a new ext3 in the resulting free space) using the GParted LiveCD. Boot from the LiveCD with the card in a reader and it will be recognised. Just be very careful that you select the correct volume before making any changes.... repartitioning your HDD by mistake can cause raised blood pressure! :eek:

4) /sdcard/nandroid/HT*/ contains the backups. I generally keep my most recent on-card but save various others on a PC for testing purposes.

5) Search the Market for TA Utility. It does exactly that.

HTH

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaoptimus:
Speaking of the radios, my generic hero came with baseband 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25 and I downloaded modaco's update (didn't apply it yet) and I'm unclear as to the version number of this baseband update since it is marked identical to mine with the exception of the "U".
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
but the new radio is 63.18.55.06_6.35.05.15.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
My UK Orange Radio version number has the U as well. It it customised by Orange perhaps ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shluggity:
I'm seeing no difference between 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25 and 63.18.55.06_6.35.05.15 on an Orange Hero running MoDaCo v1.1. I updated the radio after reflashing the ROM so that I could compare before with after, and my untrained eye sees nothing unexpected. No issues previously, and none afterwards.

/Al
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
my UK sim-free Hero had the U in the version before I upgraded the radio, and it still has the U in the version now, even though it wasn't shown in the version string at MoDaCo, whence I got the upgrade.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shluggity:
Well I'll be.... so has mine! I'd never noticed, probably 'cos I only glanced at it brieflyto check the update had worked. Thanks for the heads-up, sir.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] trystlore:
I recently flashed to Shav3d on my wing camera worked 1 time then neither the button or shortcuts would work thinking some how i might have corrupted a file or the rom just didn't like me i went over to numb3rs .. still no camera so i jumped back to shav3d again at this time i still have no camera and was wondering if anyone had had this particuler problem and if so if you might be able to reccommend a fix. Thanks ahead of time for your advice and input.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] illconcepts:
have you tried anybody elses WM6.5 Roms? All the ones listed were made by Ace who isn't doing any updates (Atleast i don't believe he is) but i don't think anyone else had those problems with his ROMs :confused:
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] trystlore:
Good point i'll try another this evening. Open to suggestions on which. didn't figure was a common. Problem as didn't see mention of anthing about it posted. Thanks for the respond.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] illconcepts:
they are all good... really just depends what you want M2D or titanium or niether.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Yea, that's weird. I would hazard to guess that the phone's hardware is having a problem somewhere. I don't have that problem at all.

As to updates to my ROM's, well, if these TP2 people would stop freakin releasing soooo many ROM's, then I could work on mine! I'm trying to tweak up the visuals, and fix some minor bugs. But there's nothing that really needs a major update, just some very minor things.

But there's millions of ROM's out there now. You can try everything. It's impossible to say which is good now.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] trystlore:
Thanks guys ill keep chasing the issue except for that one minor matter i love your ROM's Ace so keep it up :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] holylove02:
I'm still a noob, but whenever I've done something or tried a ROM that jacked up my wing, I revert back to stock ROM, and try again from scratch. I know it's probobly a long way about the problem, but it works for me. lol! like I said, still a noob. lol.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] nonsoundFlux:
Sorry to have to resurrect this thread. I'd really like to stick with the numb3rs ROM, there has to be a way to fix the camera; I'm hoping someone knows how.

I also noticed the home screen & tmail randomly crashes when I open a message & it halts on "loading". grr.

Unless anyone knows of a cleaner ROM with a similar UI?

[Mogul, XV6800 General] milesius:
Ok, so... forgive my being a noob and all that.

I followed the instructions at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

to get my GPS going. some where along the way I read that my WIFI would be disabled in order to get gps working.

Well, I decided I want my WIFI back, and GPS is not so important anymore.

How do I undo the edit that disabled my GPS? I tried flashing several times.

I noticed many other settings are retained, even after a reset.

Please help, I could find no stickies on this.

:o
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
aGPS or GPS does not disable wifi. So you did something wrong. I say reflash the rom because you might have a bad flash. If a reflash isnt the problem maybe your wifi is bad.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] milesius:
thanks for your response. I have tried reflashing ROMs a few times now. I even tried reloading stock verizon, programmed my phone with *228

Currently my radio is 3.42.50 and my rom is 3.5X

bad wifi? how does that happen? :eek:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] milesius:
so, what rom should I flash to fix this? are we talking the carrier rom, radio or something else?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
No all roms have good wifi. I say a possible bad wifi chip or antenna.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] okisfdoc:
Wifi Problems

I had a similar problem but I believe it was relative to WMWifiRouter. Currently my switch is essentially useless but you can still enable Wifi via softswitch with an app such as Wifi Monster (www.wifimonster.net). I believe it is a free program and actually provides a lot of great feedback...just not as easy as the flick of the switch.

[G1 Android Development] Icebergxx:
I understand that this probably will get moved and placed elsewhere under some long post but I'd like to make an individual thread and catch the eyes of people who wouldn't go through those threads to find this.

Any who can we partition the Ram like we did the sd card for apps?

Why?

To set and limit core apps and fix force closings [possibly] and making space for third party apps to run smoothly.

I don't know if it is possible but I do think it is a beautiful idea.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
No, there's no way to accomplish anything like that(at least nothing I've ever heard of and I'm a software engineer)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm glad that you feel your idea is more important than everyone elses.

No, you can't partition RAM.
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
i don't know about android OS but ram drives can be created in linux

ram drive is important for ssd users and is created with tmpfs in fstab
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
There already are memory usage limits set for different types of applications. You can see this in init.rc. But it's not practical to "partition" the memory or limit the memory used by backgroud apps. As you can see the default policy is actually biased towards background services, etc.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes, they can be created in Android. That is what compcache uses. But from what I read in the OP, that isn't what he is looking for. Maybe I misunderstood him but it sounded like he wanted to limit certain applications from being able to use too much memory. A RAM drive is available to the OS to manage, right? I don't know of any way to stop a specific application from using a RAM drive.
[G1 Android Development] david1171:
could he be talking about like how the spl partitions data cache and system?
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
you mount the ram drive like a normal disk and copy whatever files you want on that partition but sadly everything is lost when you reboot :p

i would like to try it but i don't want to brick my phone by messing up with my fstab
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
I think i understand he's question. Would it be possible to use g1 internal memory only for hungry tasks and swap partition for the rest ?

I wish it was but sadly it not possible. I hate it too when some silly task take internal memory space with is way faster then sd swap speed

and now that i think about it , ram drive would'nt really help simply because android applications take very low space on drive
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I was trying to do it based on some stuff I googled. I can't get it to work. It may not have support for it by default. It could be that Compcache loads what it needs to so that it can create a Ramdisk.

Post the steps that you would use and I will try it. It won't brick my phone, I'll just have to wipe and reload which is no big deal.
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
not gonna mess with fstab for the moment but you can try this

create a dir somewhere, mkdir -p /system/ram

and then

mount -t tmpfs -o size=5M,mode=0744 tmpfs /system/ram

you now have a 5mb ram drive

copy something on it to test
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It might have to wait until I get off Hero but I will try it.
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
i'm using hero

funny thing is , i created a 100 mb ram drive, copy something on it and umount it. swap is almost full and 35mb free on internal ram

then tried to start hero browser and it started in about less then 2 secs :D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Interesting. Try setting it as a swap device. Are you sure it created it from RAM? Is there really 100Mb of RAM free?
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
yup my hero is a lot faster now

create ram partition, copy big ass file ( 80 mb hero file ) phone is very slow

ram and swap are used up to 100%

umount the ram partition , 50 mb free on internal ram and 50 mb used on swap partition

internal ram goes down to 1-2 mb free space after a few seconds but phone is very damn fast and swap is still filled up to 50 mb
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You are basically just forcing the phone to use all swap instead of RAM. Some people set their swapiness to 100, which makes the phone use swap whenver possible. It's strange that swap would perform better than internal RAM. I have some ideas for making Hero run better but I can't get Compcache running on JACxHEROski. Which Hero are you running?
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
You need to do it via rzstool ;)
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
And her I thought I was an idiot for not being able to get get compcache running thru the userinit....
[G1 Android Development] Icebergxx:
I'm sorry to hear that this seams like it can't be done currently but I'm glad I at least created some good conversation amongst everyone.

My whole idea for this was to partition the core apps and limit them/section them to only a certain amount of space to avoid them from force closing since they could have an appropriate amount of dedicated ram to keep them going clean and strong then after all that was taken care of third party apps could have a little space left to run a lot better.

I guess I'm more so just thinking about sectioning off the ram to apps then third party apps.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
First off, don't get compcache running through userint.sh edit the user.conf file.
[G1 General] augix:
Hi,

I have a mac mini sharing its internet connection on Ethernet to almost all the wireless devices.

I enable "Internet sharing" on the mac to send out a wireless signal. Basically all the devices with a wifi card could connect to the mac and get internet access. I had a ipod touch, it can access to internet through the mac. I had a white English G1, it also works.

But now, a German HTC dream (DREA110 PVT 32B) can connect to the shared network, it gets IP, no problem, but it can not access to internet, web browsing does not work, PING doesn't work. Interestingly, this German G1 can access to internet through the AP in the library and at my home.

What is the problem with this G1, do you guys have any idea? Thanks in advance.
[G1 General] augix:
No idea?

Does anyone else have this problem?
