[/b]

have to reflash it
how did it happen?
did you try puting any rom version in it or what?
more info is needed

hey
I was trying to upgrade the radio version of the phone, but the version i was installing was not desgined for the XDAIIi , so, instead of upgrading, it deleted of the rom of the device and now the operating system is gone
the only thing i still have is the backup copy that i made defore the upgrade
i don't know if there is a way to use that backup copy in order to restore the system
thanks

Recommendation
It is propably that the system ROM was erased during upgrade and the upgrade wasn't successfull. Try to download the Diamond 1.2 WM2003se(my recommendation) ROM images package(somewhere available at this forums(Himalaya Upgrade)) and aferwards to flash your device with these files. If u want,u can try also the WM05 system.

He said his device is an Xda IIi not the old II.. Well you can reinstall back ur old ROM, no worries.. Download from my-xda.com..

i or not i
I thing there's no matter if is it IIi or simple II. Or not?

How do I fash my device in order to install diamond 1.2?
I also was looking an upgrade for the XDA IIi but now there are not offering any updates, I have tried to install the upgrades for the XDAII but it gives me an errror telling me that the ROM version is different and it cannot be installed

...
If you mean the Country ID Error while attempting to flash the WM05 system,there's a problem of this OS. 2003se is without problem(for me). Simply download the Diamond ROM from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18287
or directly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=3739
This contains 4 files(maybe more,but these are important).
-HimaUpgradeUt.exe
-ms_.nbf (Extended ROM image)
-nk.nbf (System Image)
-Radio_.nbf (Radio stack)
Start the bootloader(probably you are there),put the Hima to cradle,Windows at your computer detects your device and then extract the downloaded file into one folder and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
This utility is writing what you should do.
As I have readed that the WM05 OS is a little bit buggy(some compatibility problems etc..) at this time to use in Hima. Therefore I am using the 2003se.

Thanks a lot!
Hey guys,

Of course it does matter.. Remember that the II and IIi is now a really different device even though both looks identical.. For example, u said he can upgrade to WM2005 (or ROMs that was meant only for Xda II), but of course this can't be done, this is bcos the difference in hardware specs, 4 example IIi has 1.3 MP cam (II = 0.3MP), 128MB RAM, 128MB ROM (II=128MB RAM, 64MB ROM) and so on..
JorgeGZC, I'm glad to be of help to you.. :wink:

Oh sorry.
I didn't know. I'll be well advised.

İ am a mda2 user. İve bought my device from Germany and after that i changed its ROM to an english one using a rom editor to change its country id .. This encouredged a close friend of mine and he bought a O2 XDA2i. And since both me and my friend have no idea about German language we immediately tried to convert it to an english ROM.
And using a wrong ROM (sinmerged 2003 se for himalaya) i killed his machine. It now only writes serial or usb (when connected to cradle). Someone told us that if we flash it with a original German ROM it can work again. But there is no German ROM downloadable . And even if we find a German Rom and install it , it wont solve our language problem. I am a dentist and i even cannot believe how much i've learned browsing these forums
If you can help me i will be very happy!
note : in the ftp server there is rom named german rom for xda2i.. But its a lie. its in english

The same?
That looks like the same problem as at the top of this topic. Just read all this posts once again and you'll get the right way to solve your problem. Hope that helps.

I also have the same problem. I tried to install the wrong upgrade. I've downloaded the new one but i keep getting a connection problem message because activesync can't find the XDA. Help please!!!!

...
When you are in bootloader then ActiveSync will not find the device to synchronise with(cause the WMOS is not running and therefore is any synchronisation disabled). When you put into the cradle,the computer should find new device(Microsoft USB Sync). Then is the device connected and ready to update.

Q : Which is The Lastest ROM for Magician ?

I wanna renew the ROM in my Magician, i looked into the xda-ftp but theres a lot version over there. Which of them is the official and all-in-one one ? The ROM version in my device now is 1.12.00 WWE and the new one should be similar characteristics with this one. Thanx for your help.

Hi, I'm also looking for the same...

And here's what I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=342042#342042.
Check the forum "Magician Upgrading" for more info on the topic.

By the way, I still haven't taken time to upgrade mine. Could you tell what the upgrade changed for you? Do you now have 1.13?

Yes i upgraded to 11300_550_11200 , its very nice , i mean no difference than the old one but its working like a clock, by the way it was a Qtek ROM and after i begin to use the device i realized that the ROM had Clearvue application package inside, it was a nice surprise for me. I installed it the classic way , namely non BigStorage. It was very easy to do, i can advise you to do.

It is indeed a whole lot easier to not BigStorage ROMs, but note that you can still have ClearVue Suite (or any Extended_ROM software that came with the ROM) so long as you back up the Extended_ROM before BigStoraging it. Then afterwards you can manually copy the Extended_ROM files back to your Magician and install them - hence you end up with the same thing as a non-BigStorage Magician + the bonus 20MB Storage.

That sounds good, although the extra work. I really must do that!

Hi aiyan11
Welcome to XDA-Dev.
It looks like no-one is speaking to you . I think it's because this problem has come up many many times before. Use the Search XDA-Dev using Google Sticky post near the top of the messages list.
Your problem is a known one. A quick snappy answer would be to hard reset, but certain cards can cause problems and certain devices may have dodgy contacts. - Time for a bit of reading.
Have fun.
Please use one of the existing SD card threads.
Mike
EDIT: Looks like someone has spoken and is not too happy. Oh well lesson learned hopefully. PM me if you need guidance.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Lock in to Beta Massage

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to all this, I bought my HTC Touch ELF0100 HTC P3452 and after a week of use it start showing the Beta test release software massage, I been reading over the forums without any success on how to solve this issue, I can't use my new phone now, please any help would be appreciate it, I forget to mention that I bought it on Ebay and it came from china, I been trying to contact the vendor with no response from his part. Again, please help me or point me to the right direction on my search for a solution of this issue.
Thanks

It might be an unoriginal HTC device.
Take out your battery and check around whether you see a HTC logo, or some other words.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Lock in to Beta Massage
Thanks for replying,
If I take the battery out I can see the HTC logo on the lower right corner of the battery housing.
This maybe relevant or not, but I noticed that when I connect the device to my laptop and try to sync it, a massage pop out saying that the " device is a prototype and remember to change the vendor ID".
Is there any way I can reinstall windows mobile on it. At this time I do not have any information on the device.
Thanks for your help.

Wait, if that dont work, go to the elf upgrading forum and Hard SPL your device.

Hello,
Thanks for all the valuable information and posting you send me, unfortunately I'm not able to sync my elf with activesync and I cant either hard reset or neither of the buttons seems to be working beside the one to control the volume, when I press the power button and this one the phone display a " Enter bootloader / updated from SD Card? " message on the screen.
Something that I can do with this little brick now?
Thanks for your help.

wait, im lost.
so what did you do to your device?

Hi
Did you by your device new or seond hand as this message may be displayed after flashing the unbricker test rom
so if it is second hand this device maybe was bricked and you will need to CID unlock and flash a new rom or search for an official rom for it

I buy it on ebay and supposedly was new, when I receive it it work fine but I noticed that the date was wrong and corrected it after that all I can see is the Beta test message when it load windows mobile 6.1.
Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Make sure you leave negative feedback, so others do not get duped! if you cannot hard reset like normal Touch instructions, it is a Clone Elf or Elfin.. FAKE! Let others know!
the beta thing does not really mean its a fake, just could be installed incorrectly the OS, but if you caanot Hard Reset, that is a sign of a fake..... REPORT, NEG HIM!

Thanks guys,
I just found out that this is a fake ELF, I hard reset it following this link , now it it out of the Beta message, but if I try to correct the date again goes back to the same screen with it.
I know that you guys do not support fake ELF, but can I flash the rom on it to a new one, or does anybody know how to get rid of the message and use to current date and time?.
Thanks for your help.

Usually flashing a genuine HTC rom will brick a unoriginal phone.
You may want to try and there is a thread on it.

hTC Touch Elfin Clone Help

Hi,
I got this hTC Touch, a clone one, as it doesn't recognized by the touch identificator (I found a software that can identify the spl of the phone). I really want to do some wicked tweaks like the original elfin owner does, like flashing the OS, but I really can't do it because the spl is unknown.
Really, you can't differ it from the original ones just by the physical appearance. I realize it is a clone after I can't enter bootloader by camera+reset method. Then I realize (by reading the forum) that my device is a clone.
So, for those who knows, can I flash this phone OS?
If it is possible, how can I do it?
Here are some technical infos:
ROM Ver: 1.11.706.1.B En
CPU: Omap850
RAM: 128
ROM: 256
Any help or tips will be very appreciated,
Thx before,
best regard,
Xue

anyone?????

first off, i have never seen a clone phone but i hope i can be of any use.
I want to rule out the possibility of it actually being a real elfin, as its 128/256. Have you checked internally to see if it is a clone? I'm guessing here but i thi k a clone would be slightly different i terms of components? Have you tried hard reset combiations?
I'm just a little confused as the processor is the same as a genuine elf(in).
In settings, system, device information, what does it say?

I think it's no clone, because there aren't any clones with the same Processor,The same Look, The same specifics, those clones would differ with something of the Real HTC Touch, have you checked/examined every single information about your phone and the HTC Touch like how many Megapixel the HTC Touch and Your phone has etc.?
Try to sync this phone of yours with (Microsoft's) Active Sync 4.5 and then run the software which gathers the device info(phone must be 'fully' connected to your pc, without the Syncing you won't get no information about your phone.)
- Did you get a box when purchasing this phone?
- Did you bought this phone from a Reseller (for e.a online: Ebay) or from a genuine shop?
- Did you got a CD whit your phone, and what 'Sync software' was on it? Microsoft's Active Sync or something different?
I would like to hear more about this issue. PM or post a reply at this topic whenever you want or need to
