What you need:
A charged up HTC Alpine thats stuck in the SERIAL v1.01 screen
A 512Mb SD Memory Card, can't see this working with any other size.
A USB card reader on your PC that gives you a drive letter in My Computer
A copy of NTRW v2.00 (in archive)
A ROM image (in archive)
Finding a friend who's happy with DOS will be a great help!
DOS commands are in Courier Font to help differate
Step 1:
Charge the phone!
Personally I'd charge the battery in the big slot on the USB base.
Step 2:
Make sure the small slide switch is NOT on Lock
(slide it down towards teh metal teeth)
Place the SD Card into your Card Reader
(Cancel any pop-ups XP throws at you)
Step 3:
In My Computer find the SD Card
Write down what drive letter teh SD Card is
Righthand button and format the SD Card
*** MAKESURE its the 512Mb SD Card***
Step 4:
Press the Start button
Click Run...
Type CMD
Click [ OK ]
Step 5:
You are now using a DOS Prompt
Navigate to the place you unpacked the archive using the CD command
for example:
if you unpacked this onto your desktop...
( C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Desktop )
then type the following
C:
CD "\Documents and Settings\Users\Desktop"
DIR
Step 6:
Remember in step 3 I said to write down the SD Card's drive letter?
Well in the next step I'm presuming it's drive F:
If it's not drive F: then change the F: to whatever the SD Card is!
Step 7:
type NTRW write ALPINEROM.NB1 F:
(the write bit has to be in lowercase, the F: must be your SD Readers drive letter)
Step 8:
Wait!
If you're lucky your Card Reader will have a small light which will now be flickering.

Mine dims the scren when I do the reset but then comes back on - still at the SERIAL and v1.01 - I tried taking battery etc out but still nothing - any more help most appreciated
If I let the battery run down then charge, the XDA comes back on to windows, goes thru all the calibrations, but then after a while - goes back to the boot screen
any help most appreciated

i'm sorry before, but...
very interesting this guide,
mine is HIMALAYA (O2-xda-II), and got same problem --> Stuck in BootLoader
unfortunatelly my xda-II can't connect to PC. when connected to PC detected as Unknown-Device.
maybe like This Methode can be applicable to my xda-II
but with firmware /ROM that have compatibility to my xda-II offcourse,,
i'll said thanks if some one can give me any suggestion

you could just try pluggin the phone back into the cradle and connect it to usb, then just run the update program again, its normal for the update to fail the frist time or even twice. this happened to my phone. the first update fails and its stuck in boot loader, ignore the "cannot id device" that windows puts up.
also remember not to update on a pc running VISTA it wont work 100%, only, i repeat ONLY update on xp

How long does it take ?
Is something on the screen or are there any lights on ?
Are the files on the memory card visible in windows after writing the image on it ?
And to what filesystem should I format the memory card ?
FAT or FAT32?
Im trying to recover my xda with this image but with no results

PH 10D Alpine stuck in Simlock...HELP
HI mate, Please help me with this:
I have Alpine PH10D from Orange Uk
After I tried for weeks to buy the unlocking (sim) code from orange ,then I started trying all the software to unlock it. My laptop runs Vista ,so this could be the reason why,lots of programs from internet won,t work,xdadev,htcallunlock,xdasimlock,xdaunlock,htcmultiunlocker,lokiwiz,copier,etc...
so u can see I tried for weeks,and weeks
Finally, one of these got my HTC locked in Simlock mode ,I mean I kinda can restart, bootloader, reset etc ,and imediately after starting to boot-install,i get a screen saying,"Simlock,network locked,please enter network code"
In the background all the phone is normal but as soon as you try tapping"Start" or anything else, after 1 second that pop comes again ,again,again,again,again.....
The Interesting is The active sync (the active sync in vista is called"Windows mobile device manager" can connect to the phone...Obviousely U know u cannot delete those stupid files from the extended Rom ,they are REad Only, When u Right click on it, all what vista can get is, Run ,Run as Administrator,Properties"....no chance to delete or rename....them cab.
Again ,interesting, In bootloader, active sync cannot detect the phone ,but the phone does display "Serial V1.01" and then when u plug USB in laptop it says "USB"
Then press SOFTRESET again ,wait 10 sec..,ding...and STOP at that moment before it starts installing...! plug the USB into laptop ...active sync IS DETECTING it, The ROM is in a file called "Extended ROM"....OK .Is there a way to find the Simlock, file or cab, and delete it? the files are protected, cannot touch them,
If I cannot do anything ,I will try the old fashion...: stick it into the freezer a good 2-3 days.......ain't it funny?.... in fact the phone is now a vegetable, isn't it?
[email protected] for any further details ,pls mail

sounds great what about htc universal
Hi mike,
this sounds hopeful. Any idea about a HTC universal, will this work, are there differences?
Any reply would be greatly appreciated, as I am a bit getting desperate!
Greetings,
Curehead

Ok after an incident with a cup of coffee, my sound ceased working in phone, so, since everything else was working fine, and reading a load of threads on it I decided to downgrade back to the original ROM....
And I ended up stuck with that old 'Serial 1.01' message.
After reading more i downloaded mtty and got it to connect in USB, checked check the DOC, and as it was fine I was just going to download the restore files, when I noticed that the screen message had changed to 'USB'.....
So I started the Upgrade, and it found the Alpine, and worked fine!
So if you are stuck in bootloader, and you can connect with MTTY, run task 28 to check the DiskOnChip, if this is fine (no errors), then LEAVE IT IN THE CRADLE, check to see if 'USB' is showing on the screen, exit MTTY, and try upgrading again, hopefully it will work.
Happy New Year !!

Restore WM2003SE on Alpine; XDA IIi; qtek 2020i
I tried to upgrade my XDA IIi to WM6, being unaware that this was not possible, of course with the wrong updater, so I ended with cold brick.
After much pain and reading tons of nonsense and misleading or incomplete info written by people who have no idea of what they are talking about, I managed to revive it running the updater:
http://www.maxishare.net/en/file/378/alpine-1-11-171-radio-1-04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed-rar.html"
(Mirror 2) posted by kevcal
The device needs to be in BootLoader mode with the battery fully recharged.
How to Enter into BootLoader mode:
Press and hold the “Power” & “D” (navigation) buttons,
and then press the Reset Button until “Serial” shows on screen.
Plug device in the cradle. “Serial” will change to “USB”
Execute the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the above *.RAR archive
Alternatively, you can download and run

I need help to repair my Qtek

Hello
I just did the following :
download the files from www.carrierdevices.com.au for Qtek 101 update
"Qtek 1010 Upgrade
(22102003-190723)-RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
File Contents
• CE Upgrade File : RUU_CEv3.18.04wwe_Qtek_SHIP.exe
• Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
"
When the process began there was an error asking to press OK for restart.
After restarting device in the boot sequence ( when logo is diplayed) there are no informations about the ROM. Just Radion version is diplayed and that is the new version one (3.25)
Also on the display there is no start icon and I cannot use the display because it seems to be decalibrated completly.
Very Important : When I try to connect to Activesync after a while it telling me that the device is not a smartphone or a pocket PC and cannot be connected. So I cant use any program to try to upgrade again.
What to do ?
Please try to give examples and link to download files in order to fix my device.
Thanks in advance

Hi ...
If you still can get to the boot loader screen (power button + soft reset) and it displays "GSM OK", that means there is a good chance that the flash ROM is not damaged.
You can either put the ROM and RSU files on SD card through a card reader (.nbf files) or to get a valid SD backup for CE + Radio from any working XDA and use the boot loader screen to flash your device again.
Good luck ...
thanks, where I can get some files?
Thank you for your replay,
It seems to be ok cause i can upload a new CE in SD format to the device. ROM was build in the kithcenROM from yorch.net.
It still not working cause perhaps I need the file containing Radio and CE as well in SD format.
Do you know where I can get it ?
I dont think I can get another device to read the files on the SD.
Many thanks,
Silviu C.
I 'm not sure which stage you are stuck with now ... if you can put CE image on SD card and flash it using the boot loader, that means you can boot your XDA and flash the RSU through a normal EXE file from yorch.net .... if this is not the case then you most propably have the wrong file format on the SD card.
Give more details plz
present situation
I am at the edge of disperation.
Steps of what I did :
1. Back up Boot and CE to SD and save them to HDD.
2. Build a CE from Yorch.net in nb1 format and write it to SD with an adaptor.
3. Flash the device with that specific file ( was just CE , not including bootloader)
Now, my pocket is like that:
It cannot been powered from the power button
It start when plug in the charger
I cannot go in bootstrap mode ( when procedure for activating is made I just got a small red flash from the LED)
I have to mention that I choose from the yorch options :" lock butons except power when the device is turned off "
So, now I cannot use the SD for try another flash image.
I cannot use activesync because it cannot recognize the device. Somthing is wrong in the header of the authorising string or something like that.
When I plug the USB cable, activesync is starting but after 10 secs a pop up telling me that the device cannot be recognize, it is not a smartphone or pocket pc.
I am stack.
Thank you
Silviu C.
another question
I have another question:
Is there anywhere - in situation that the problem with boostrap will be solved somehow - full flash containing both radio and CE ?
Thank you,
Silviu C.
some little success
I have suceded by entering in bootrap mode !!
It telling me that I have GSM ERROR
What to do?
IS there any way I can get a full flash for Qtek with radio and OS as well?
Thanks,
Silviu C.
In the boot loader screen, try to press the calendar button ... it should give you the GSM menu. Select "Reset" or "Turn off" and do a soft reset
Plz do NOT try band switching or "Calib/debug"!
It sounds like a failed radio stack upgrade, you can try copying the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file to your SD card then run it from there.
You can get the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file by using WinZip to extract it from the RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG)[1].exe file.

Bricked MY T Mobile Wing NEED HELP

I bricked the phone,,,,and not it wont go past the T-mobile screen that comes when you first start it....It got bricked while i was trying to put on touchflo...i guess i ****ed up somewhere! lol .....anyways I entered it into boot mode...so i can install the RUU the USA version, after doing everything it says congrats u have intalled the blah blah blah....even after that it wont work...it keeps going back to that screen and getting stuck....Also the
IPL= 4.10.0002

Do you have a sd card installed? I thought that I bricked my device a few times and then removed the sd card and was able to reload.

This worked great......
you were lucky..
i bircked my phone also, but it caused a motherboard change..
my lucky was the warranty and some nice people who helped me..
so be careful..
Try a SD card flash to unbrick your device
This is how:
MAKE SURE THE HERALD IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE STARTING THE PROCES
#01 Download your original RUU
#02 Download (if not yet installed) WinRar and install
#03 Copy your full sd micro card to your harddisk and format your card with FAT 32
#04 Rightclick the downloaded exe file with your original RUU, click Unpack here
#05 In the map the will be created you will find a file (or similar) called RUU_signed.nbh. Copy this file to your formated sd microcard.
#06 Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh
#07 Get your Herald into bootloader modus by pressing the comm manager button and the camera button and pressing the reset button at the same time. Do not release both buttons until your in bootloader.
#08 Once in bootloader pop in your sd micro card.
#09 As soon as your card is popped in the screen will say something like "Reading SD card". Wait it out till it says "Push button to start" and slide the indicated volume slider down.
#10 The Herald will start the flashing proces. Wait it out till it says "Press any button" and hit the send button.
#11 Perform a hard reset
#12 Voila! Your back in business
The download link doesnt work
Hey guys i bricked my phone as well. The links above dont work. Is there anyway anyone could email the file to me? Email is [email protected]. Thanks in Advance!
You need to download your original RUU from the europe.htc.com website and with this file follow the steps above. If downlaoding this file is for someway impossible to you search the forum for the different RUU's.
Keep in mind it depends on your version (country specifiek of not) and version (Herald, Wing, Vodafone, etc.) which RUU you need.
BTW the needed file is about 40 - 60 MB so it would be impossibel to e-mail it.
Thanks Japp i have the tmobile wing. Ive tried every link on the site. If anyone has it they can send it through yousendit.com for free.
Ok guys thanks for all your help I fanally got it done.

NEED HELP
i have a ppc6700 and wanted to update my rom (i messed up) so i download it from here the update, and updated my rom and next it wont start up at all...its a pocket pc not a wing... now nothing would work...i already tried hard reset and it does, but then nothin happens
Woah! You can put TouchFLO on the Wing?
Thanks for the SD Removal Tip
I Installed windows live on my wing (Running JustHome Windows Mobile 6.5 Alpha v1 ) and created a conflict with other apps), I re installed card and removed windows live.. cool
Help!
I try to install another rom because my phone don't starts, so i can't use ActiveSync, but when i do it from a microsd card, i get a code in red and then it goes back to the tri-color screen.. Help me please
EDIT: Fixed..
If you can get to the Tricolour screen you should be able (in my experience) to connect to ActiveSync and install a new ROM. (note: you can't browse the contents of your phone that way.)

read post #6 to do flash via SD Card

..::Tutorial for WM6.1/WM6.0/WM5.0 to WM2003se dowmgrade to orignal::..

its problem for many peoples after upgrading there Typhoon (i-mate sp3,o2 xphone2 ,etc) 2003 windows mobiles to windows 2005 phone started with 1.01.0109 before before u wanted to return to windows2003se, so if you have a 2.******xx version, read the tutorials on getting to a 1.***xx version
So, here we go:
1. Download a copy of the ROM you want to put on your phone,HERE
2. Download ISTUtils from here HERE
3. Put your SD card in your card reader on your computer and in command prompt in the istutils directory type in
psdwrite i: f:\image.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where "i" is the drive letter for your SD card, and "f:\image.img" is the location of the ROM you downloaded from step 1. Be patient and the ROM will be written to the SD card.
4. Once that is done, put the SD card back into your phone. Hold down the camera button and plug in the USB cable. It will ask you if you want to update the ROM and will say "<--- press this button", which is the volume down button, so press it.
5. Now you can sit back and watch as it updates your phone. Once its done, it will say "Process Complete" and to press any key to reboot. Once it has rebooted, it will take a while to start up because its the first boot, it will go through some stuff, ask you a couple of questions, and before you know it, you will be back!

HTC Magic (proximus) stuck in RUU USB - MY SOLUTION with Goldcard

My HTC MAGIC (proximus) was semi-bricked after installing the wrong RUU.
- no reboot possible
- screen says RUU (when plugged in, RUU USB)
- can't find device with adb devices
- can find device with fastboot devices
- not possible to make goldcard, because no adb connection
- running new RUU didn't work either
Altough I think this method can be used for other phones I am still not responsible for damaging your phone!!
Because I'm a new member, I can't use links in my messages so change all hxxp to http.
Here is what I did:
- Pull out some hairs, bite your nails, use your father's old mobile for some days (this part is not needed if you follow my instructions below!)
1. Create a Goldcard.:
- Find or buy an extra SD-card (not all are usefull for creating a goldcard, Kingston 2GB works for sure!)
- put your SD-card into the adapter and format it FAT32
- Download the Ubuntu live CD iso (Google it)
- burn this as an image to a CDR
- put your formatted SD-card in the adapter before restarting, mount it in computer's card-reader (card reader attached with USB will probably not work!)
- put the Ubuntu CD in your computer and restart
- boot from CD (sometimes you need to press F11 on startup)
- computer will boot from Ubuntu-CD, choose your language and choose to try the software without installing it to your computer
- Ubuntu will start up, in Ubuntu choose Applications -> Accesoires -> Terminal
- In the terminal type hal-device | grep mmc.cid
- the terminal will show you the SD card's CID, write this number down and double check it! (long number!!)
- If the terminal didn't show you the CID, you should try on another computer, I think it depends on the card-readers type.
- Shut down Ubuntu (right-upper corner)
- take out the Ubuntu-CD and restart computer
- install PSAS free version hxxp://psas.revskills.de/?q=node/6
- install HxD Hex Editor hxxp://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352_4-10891068.html?tag=mncol
- Start PSAS and Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox.
- At the bottom of this window, there is a text box (next to the “Reverse String” button) enter the CID number you wrote down before
- Click on the “Reverse String” button, the number you just typed in will change
- select and copy the number it shows now
- go to this website hxxp://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html
- enter you emailadres
- paste the reversed number to the CID box and replace the first two digits with a zero "123456789" becomes "003456789"
- click Continue, the goldcard.img file will be send to your email
- go to your email, save this file to your computer
- start HxD Hex Editor as an administrator (right click, "Run as administrator")
- click on extras -> open disk
- under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (uncheck “Open as Readonly) click OK
- click again on extras -> open disk image
- open the goldcard.img which you’ve saved before, select ok if asked for "sector size 512 Hard disks/floppy disks)
- at the moment you have two tabs, your removable disk and the goldcard.img
- select the goldcard.img tab
- go to edit -> select all again edit -> copy
- select the removable disk tab
- select offset 00000000 till/including offset 00000170
- go to edit -> paste write
- click on file -> save and exit the program
At the moment your SD card is a Goldcard.
If Goldcard doesnt work, try another SDcard. (Kingston 2GB works!)
2. Download and run the correct RUU for your phone.
For my mobile I used RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver

It worked !
Hello All, i had the same problem than Radjagios: Semi bricked HTC magic after an official RUU update. The update failed because the Phone ID was not recognized as a valid one.
I used the goldcard solution from Radjagios (thanks again to him) but with some changes (which are here between ++++++++)

Worked too with my sandisk 2 GB Card (included with the phone when bought)
++++++++++++++++
- put your SD-card into the adapter and format it FAT32
- Download the Ubuntu live CD iso (Google it)
- burn this as an image to a CDR
- put your formatted SD-card in the adapter before restarting, mount it in computer's card-reader (card reader attached with USB will probably not work!)
++++++++++++++++
Indeed, USB card reader didn't worked well for me, i used an old laptop with built in SD card reader to obtain SD CID
++++++++++++++++
- put the Ubuntu CD in your computer and restart
- boot from CD (sometimes you need to press F11 on startup)
- computer will boot from Ubuntu-CD, choose your language and choose to try the software without installing it to your computer
- Ubuntu will start up, in Ubuntu choose Applications -> Accesoires -> Terminal

- the terminal will show you the SD card's CID, write this number down and double check it! (long number!!)
++++++++++++++++
you also can copy the CID into a txt file that you'll save on an usb stick.. So when back on windows you just copy it again from the stick
++++++++++++++++
- If the terminal didn't show you the CID, you should try on another computer, I think it depends on the card-readers type.
- Shut down Ubuntu (right-upper corner)
- take out the Ubuntu-CD and restart computer
++++++++++++++++
In place of below just go to hxxp://hexrev.soaa.me/ copy your CID and click submit
the new cid number is ready to use ( no need to change 2 first numbers to 00)
- install PSAS free version hxxp://psas.revskills.de/?q=node/6

++++++++++++++++
Just paste the number you obtained from site hxxp://hexrev.soaa.me/
++++++++++++++++

- select the goldcard.img tab
- go to edit -> select all again edit -> copy
- select the removable disk tab
- select offset 00000000 till/including offset 00000170
++++++++++++++++
You must have an 00000170 offset line on the sdcard. At first i didn't, i tried again and it appeared ???
++++++++++++++++
- go to edit -> paste write
- click on file -> save and exit the program
At the moment your SD card is a Goldcard.
If Goldcard doesnt work, try another SDcard. (Kingston 2GB works!)
++++++++++++++++
To use the goldcard:
put the sd into your HTC magic, connect it to your PC , boot the magic ( you still have the error "screen says RUU (when plugged in, RUU USB)"
Launch the RUU from your PC as usual and normally it will do the upgrade to the end without blocking.
++++++++++++++++
2. Download and run the correct RUU for your phone.
For my mobile I used RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver
++++++++++++++++
Sthis RUU: works fine for me too there is no french france or french belgium available but french suisse works fine and have an azerty keyboard (strangely not in the first tutorial but after well)
you can find RUUs here

Easy way to create a goldcard
You can borrow a Samsung android phone (I test in Samsung Galaxy Y), place your SD Card (maybe 2Gb SD Card) into the phone - turn on USB DEBUGGING. (Do not mount the SD Card to the computer)
Download Goldcard Tool v0.05 (available in xda-developers - google searching) - Open Golcard Tool - Click Get CID - Copy the CID in the Get CID textbox - enter to the link in the Goldcard Tool - paste the CID - select goldcard type: Android - enter capcha - download/receive a Goldcard.img.
Mount the SD in the computer (USB connecting) - click refresh button in Goldcard Tool - Choose the SD Card
Click button "Load Goldcard.img" - choose the downloaded Goldcard.img - Click "Patch MMC" - Success!
My Goldcard was test with T-mobile Mytouch 3G 1,2, it worked like a charm and I could root it easily with Universal Androot.apk
A day, I changed Hboot SPL engineering ver 2010...Some thing wrong...My device turn into a dark screen...I still try to find a shop reparing it Hboot.
So, Using Goldcard sometimes is a Dangerous way! But it is the only way if you semi-brick your phone - no recovery, no fastboot

Htc 0300 in tri colour

I have a HTC ELF 0300 it is stucking in the tri colour screen with the following
IPL: 2.26.0002
SPL:2.28.0000
i have followed the advice i found on this forum of flashing the ROM but when i try the rom update utility it comes up with error 270 about the image also i tried the mtty process but it wont open the usb port
i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..
any help appricated
Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx
Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.xml
(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!
i don't have a working pda to use :-( the only pda i have is my bricked one :-(

There is a way to use a card reader instead.
Using Ubuntu LiveCD and QMAT
ps:I wonder how did the wiki entry got erased?
Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
