I have read many posts here. Some have the same problem as I do. I have a well chinese cloned Elf0100. It has the HTC logo and everything but no name. It runs WM 6.0 PRO. Well I wanted to share with everyone who has this clone looking for answers. I have found the website to the manufacture/seller: DX
The reason why I joined this forum was to find out how I could flas my rom to WM 6.1. I never get past the 15% mark when using the uspl tool. When looking at this site, they have a image to download to upgrade the rom. And they made mention of someone maybe being able to alter it to WM 6.1. Any help would be great.
I also have one of these chinese HTC Touch knockoffs on my bookshelf. Never used it because I have an original HTC Touch, but would be great to be able to use this one too.
DX - Dealextreme - re-seller. I believe you cannot flash any of the ROMs to the clone.
These phones can be flashed. It's just not the same hardware spec as HTC. The software is stored at other locations - bricking the device if you try to flash an official HTC firmware onto it. We just need to customize the correct firmware.
so we can`t update it at all ?
is there a way to fix a briked device like with the original htc or it is bricked forever?

Hello,
I am new to this site, I've read and read about the cooked ROMS for the HTC phones. I'm anxious for the 6.1 update to come out for AT&T, anyone know when this will come out? I know that the TyTn II update came out, but when I log into HTC's website, it's nowhere to be found. However, if I decide to go with a Cooked ROM, can someone direct me to what I first need to do to prepare my phone for it, and where I can load the latest Cooked ROM?
Also, anyone who was scared to brick their phone and did the Cooked ROM how is it and what do you recommend?
One last thing, if I do load a cooked ROM on my phone, and AT&T releases the 6.1 update, I could easily update it with that correct?
Any help is appreciated.
There is a dedicated Kaiser (AKA Tilt) forum
And the stickies there (mainly the Wiki) got it all.

You have the HTC Elfin and there is no official WM 6.1 update available for your device and probably wont ever be one. On the HTC Website it shows the WM 6.1 update but probably says not available for your device when you try to install it. This is because the linked it to Elf by accident and fixed the problem in order to avoid people downloading to elf or elfin and bricking their devices. The WM 6.1 official ROM update is for the HTC touch Vogue. You can search this site; however, for custom cooked ROM's for the Elfin that has WM 6.1. Make sure you do plenty of reading and studying on how to flash a custom cooked ROM to your device and you will have to make sure that your device is unlocked. I am sorry I cannot help you more than this since I don't know much about flashing custom ROM's since I myself have not done it yet to my Elfin. There is lots of information available on this site though and several ROM's available for the Elfin.
Start by reading through the WIKI here to begin learning

Do you have the HTC OPAL otherwise known as the VIVA
You said "Stops the viva"? If you have the VIVA and not the Elfin stop flashing roms for Elfin to your device.
OPAL / VIVA look similar to Vogue and Elf and Elfin but is a different device
See links here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Opal
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=442
If you have the Opal/Viva - you need to post in that forum to try to get some help. You may have done a very bad thing flashing an elf or elfin ROM to the device if you do in fact have the VIVA.
You really need to do lots of reading. Make sure you know which device you do have, then proceed.
VIVA though is suppose to already have WM 6.1 so I am hoping I am wrong in this assumption for your sake.

I think he means he 's frustrated the viva was launched after he bought his elfin. There should be a dot after "stops" . Beside that your advice was very sound

Why are you giving this warning? I haven't upgraded to a custom ROM myself yet; however, have read that there are many members who are very happy with their custom ROM's and WM 6.1
Do you have a valid reason for this warning or is it just your personal choice / preference.
From what I have been reading, choosing to upgrade ROM is personal choice and one that you choose to do at your own risk and or benefits all depending on what your needs are. The reason I have not upgraded is that I have not yet felt that I needed to. I am very happy with my stock WM 6.0 ROM and the performance of my device. This is the only reason I havn't upgraded.
What are your reasons? It is not my intention to discredit you or attack you. I am legitimately curious as to what your reasons for this statement are.

I've just got my brand new Unbranded Palm Treo Pro and it came with Windows Mobile 6.1 pt-BR and I want to update to 6.5.
As a software developer veteran the first thing I want is to do a backup of the whole thing in case of anything goes wrong.
Reading the older posts at this forum I've managed to dump the whole ROM, following the steps I've found on this thread.
Reading further I found a Kitchen along with the ROM with WM6.5 which I believe is what I want.
However, before I flash my phone I want to convert the ROM dump into something that I can flash back in case something bad happens... you never know.
How do I do this? I couldn't find among the plethora of information on this site a way to convert from the RAW files to an usable flashing mechanism.
Regards
Same question here...
I've rebuild the ROM and posted it here, but I need a brave enough person to see if the ROM is OK because I admit I'm too scared to try it myself and brick my phone.
flashing a rom wont brick your phone.
Hello!
One of my friends brought me an old Yakumo delta 300 GPS 2L PDA from Germany, to install a new WinMo on it.
Does anybody know how to do it? I really know nothing about doing such things, and all I could find about updating such a device was a german forum, with outdated links.
It would be very important for me! Thanks!
to build a 6.5rom for those devices u should make many files
one of the most importantes is NK.EXE that u can easily put that in ur rom with new Ervius kitchen
Problem is that I don't know how to do so. I have no experience in Windows Mobile, that's why I am asking for your help.

Its not so simple since you aren't exprenced with Windows Mobile devices. Its highly possible to brick the device easily if something goes wrong.
First the device should be CID unlocked so that you can flash custom ROMs.
Second you will need to find custom ROMs for it or else if you want to cook, you either need to get a stock ROM of it so that you can dump it, replace its files (i.e SYS and XIP), recook it using suitable kitchens, finally flash it but its not over. There are many thing to do. And I say again its possible to brick the device if something goes wrong.
I would better suggest to stay with what ever it has.
Since HTC is very popular, we research lot and minimize risks before doing anything but your device seems very old and not known much so its risky job.
As Mr.zeus said, NK.EXE is just a part or file of/in the kernel aka XIP. You will need many things to cook a ROM. Stock ROM of your device would be good for start.
Thanks...
Best Regards
Well, thank you very much.
Then looks like, I am shot here :S
Can you please give me any navigation system what should work on this device, and has maps for Hungary, Germany, Austria?
i can tell u one thing...my htc wizard is running wm6.5.3...so it is quite possible to hav new os on old fone.....
Hi guys,
I have HTC HD2 Dual Sim. I have updated system for update.zip and after that touch panel doesn't work. I don't have orjinal file to make update.zip . İ think my device is Tops HD2/HD9. Does anyone know a way to work touch screen?
Thanks...
HD2 clone has different hardware structure. Its a DIFFERENT being
You shouldnot upgrade ANY of the files in XDA HD2 subforum, which was mean for original HD2. Sorry to say, I think your devices is semi brick

Congratulations. This is your prize for been a dumbass and flashing software to a device it was never meant for.
A HD2 clone is NOT a HD2, It just "looks" like one.
there's no such thing as HD2 dual sim. it's a clone. do you seee anything about it on the HTC official site? no! why do you think that is?
the Clone is just a different device disguised as an HD2. so it has different hardware and software specs. meaning it also needs different drivers. Flashing anything that's meant to be for HD2 is like somehow managing to install windows drivers on a mac OS, it won't work.
if you took a little time around the forum you'd have seen threads started by users with a clone, and all were told not to use anything that was meant for the HD2.
in your case it might be too late.
I know it isn't orginal HTC and it has different hardware. I didn't upgrade any orginal rom. I have used it's update files from this page bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.c*m
I just want to learn that does the touch panel need a driver or file for android?
I don't know, and I'm sure lots don't as well.
you have to look for people who actually got it working and see how they did it.
it probably needs some file in the kernel. but I don't recommend you start trying them out. I'm pretty baffled how you got android running in the first place.. unless it came with your device which means you shouldn't have tried updating anything.
if you can't get it back to what it was before, does it return to "original android" when hard reset? because that's what I think you should do.
