Hi every one
I flashed a Pdamobiz rom and i didnot like it much so i flashed my touch again with other manilla based rom(s).
The problem is : PDAMOBIZ rom replaced the smartmobility screen that apper after soft/hard reset with a green screen with a sord(i guess) in the middle with with Pdamobiz.com on it and i hate this screen .
Can any one of XDA experts guide me how to remove it and restore smart mobility screen again
You'll need to flash the 'smart mobility' RUU_signed.nbh file onto your phone. Make sure it is CID unlocked first. Refer to this thread....it has the entire solution as well as the file you need:

thank you for your response but i cant download the file attached in this link it says that my account doesnot have this previleage (may be because i am a junior member) any ideas
Hmmm...sorry bout that. Yeah...you cant download from that thread because its closed. Well...if you cant get the main splash screen from there...you can refer to dsixda's posts on how to restore your elf or elfin's rom. Its in the wiki. There's a detailed breakup. I think you need to extract Mainsplash.nb out of the original shipped rom. It's all there on the wiki......a little bit of reading required. Make sure you flash the correct version of the splash screen....i.e there's different ones for the elf and the elfin.
Good Luck.
thank you you were a great help
have a nice day

I'm going to upgrade my Trinity to WM6 but I'd like to retain the original device branding splash screens of HTC and Vodafone.
Is it possible to extract these images from my installed ROM before upgrade.

Yes it is possible.
The tool you will need is Olipro's Custom RUU Updater, which can be found here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Trinity/Tools_and_Programs/ModifiedRUUUpdater-V2-TRIN.rar
You can extract the splashes with either ROMBaker or NBHExtract.
Also check in DEVICE\Windows for a file called welcomehead.96.jpg or welcomehead.96.png. You might want to save that too.
In case you want to dump your actual ROM, use the guide described here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
For flashing a custom splash, check here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SplashScreen

Great...great help there.
Thankyou.
Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm completely lost now. Here's the basic facts:
Hard-SPL install was unsuccessful, but I didn't notice. So I'm still with original SPL.
I started upgrading the ROM with original SPL, which of course crashes at 3 percent.
Now I can't get back into WM. It's stuck at the 'smart mobility screen'.
So the problem is: it won't let me install any ROMs because original SPL is still on there. I can't change to hard-SPL anymore either. The ROM that's on the machine doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to install an original ROM it says I can't use this utility. I think I need to download an official ROM + installer, but I can't find any from HTC.
Alright, so skip all the noob and idiot comments please, I already know. But where do I go from here?
Please help!

Okay, so I did the hard reset as described here. No luck.
So I went back to the bootloader screen (original SPL) and tried the original rom and installer from the download link. Again, no luck. It says "Error [294] Invalid Vender ID. This utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility." The phone was unlocked when I bought it, it's HTC branded. Is there another installer out there?
I've also tried loading several roms by putting them on SD, renamed as POLAIMG.nbh. (including the orginal rom, extracted from the downloaded installer). For the original Rom, it will say 'loading...', then 'checking...' and then it will tell me: "00028002 - not allow". Then it goes back to the three colour spl screen.
There's also a link here on the forum which I'm not sure is good advice.

Hi
Ths info I posted relates to the Kaiser (kaiser [nearly] equals Polaris in terms of hardware) and the MTTY is from the ELF forum.
"set 16 0" to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
"task 8" to get your device formatted
I suggest the set 16 0 and a reset to see if that helps, I do advocate you searching for these commands and checking they are applicable.
The info was from this KAISER thread

Thanks for your advice guys.
I tried the "set 16 0" command + reset. Still same situation.
Any other tips anyone?

No more reponses?
It is probably bricked then.
So what's my next move...trash it?

I think he wrote already that he tried to flash some ROMS using SD card... (POLAIMG.NBH). Not sure though if he tried re Hard-SPL'ing using the SD flash method...
So I would suggest to retry the HardSPL using the POLAIMG.NBH method (just as if the HardSPL's .NBH file was a normal ROM) if this hasn't been tried yet...
Hey you must careffuly read mtty in kaiser thread.....mtty can brick your device for entire life.....my advice to you is pm GSLEON3
he's the master of using mtty and lot of kaiser user saved by him...
Hope this can help you

The Facts
When I try to hard-spl through the SD-card, it just says "Loading..." and that's where it stays - Even if I leave it till the battery dies. I tried the 2.10 and 1.10 versions on this page.

Hard-SPL through SD
You're right; I did notice that - however
I had to take an nbh from this page. The reason is that the HTC Cruise Hard-SPL program I found on this page won't let me extract the rom.
I need the rom file to put in on SD!
The Hermes one probably wouldn't work anyway though, thats a good point Where to get the Polaris separate rom nbh? I haven't found it on the forums. Maybe I'm going blind...

1. You can not flash hard-spl with microSD method! (hard-spl flash use jumpspl to ignore cid-lock. But with microSD card method you will not use jumpspl, so you can not flash hard-spl! (and to use microSD method you have to have hard-spl on your pda)
2. If you unzip hard-spl on your pc will be an RUU_signed.nbh. This is the rom file, but you can not to flash it with microSD.
3. Your device is bricked, I think. Take it to repair!
after an unsuccessful flash, u shud never try to flash again, high chance of permanently bricking your pda. go contact GSLEON3, he saved my kaiser from bricking when i made the same mistake as u. helpful fellow. make sure u donate lol
Accepted Defeat
Hi
I accepted defeat and exchanged the unit.
Thanks for all the help.

Dear all,
First of all, many congratulations for the great forum and thanks for all the support given here.
Now, I recognise that problems similar to mine have been discussed elsewhere, so I apologise for opening a new post, however with all the material that I could find, I got a little bit lost, so here is the story.
Some 5 days ago, the screen on my HTC Elf stopped responding to any sort of touch. The green, red and action buttons were working but no touch screen.
I have read several posts, and concluded that one possible problem was a corrupted ROM, so I downloaded latest Onyx ROM and installed it. Phone was upgraded successfully and screen started to work again.
However, the first time I switched it off and then turned it on again, it did not boot up. It gets to the point where it displays Smart Mobility and then switches itself off. The orange light then comes on for about 6-7 seconds, then off for 1-2 seconds, and then on again......
Now it does not seem to be able to charge, but if I switch it on with the camera button on I am able to get to the ROM screen (the 'rainbow screen'), so I have hope that it is not dead.
What can I do to attempt to revive the phone please? Is there a sort of 'format' that can be given so that one can start flashing ROM, etc. from scratch?
Many thanks.
PS: Except for the above, I consider myself as a total beginner in this area.
Hearing that the touchscreen started working again after flashing the ROM, I would conclude it's a software-issue.
In the rainbow-screen, what SPL does your phone run? If it ends with 'cmon', you've installed HardSPL. That means you can flash your phone from the rainbow-screen. Given that your phone won't boot, you should try to flash a new ROM from the rainbow-screen. But first, you have to confirm that you've installed HardSPL.
Good luck!
@mrqips - many thanks for your reply.
The screen says that:
IPL 2.20.0002
SPL 1.11.0000

Sorry Buddy.. It seems that you didn't use HardSPL, unfortunately you won't be able to flash any other ROMs..
Yet.. You might be able to use the Gold Card Method.. Give it a try and see what would happen..
Another point is.. I'm very interested to know how did you flash Onyx ROM.. without using HardSPL nor USPL (as obvious from your IPL), I would say that you used the "White Screen Method" which is by the way.. the least safest way..
Hope That Helped...
Thanks for your feedback.
Actually, I happened to be reading the post by @sbettencourt in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595856&highlight=smart+mobility
Here, a step-by-step approach is given to recover the phone:
"1º [PRJ] Unbricker ROM discovered (wildcard CID and Model ID)
2º Pick any shipped ROM from this thread:
If you have one P3450 -> here
If you have one P3452 -> here
After this, with luck and good work you recover the phone...
3º Then you must do CID_Unlock... You can search how to do it on Wiki or if you want i got one steps how to do it right here and you can see one video with cid_unlock on my signature..." (pasted from the thread)
I did Step 1, and updated it with the unbricker ROM using romupdateutility, and the phone was recovered! It could load, get to Windows Mobile, etc.
Then, unfortunately, when I did Step 2 (mine is a P3450) so I downloaded a ROM from the page indicated, I tried to update the shipped ROM using romupdateutility, but as soon as it got to 2% it failed saying that the vender ID is invalid.
Now, I don't seem to be able to update it with anything - not even the unbrick ROM. What a shame I almost go there.....

You put the shipped ROM in the same folder with RUU??? Why??? You don't need to do that...
You only need to double click on shipped ROM and the installation process begins...
@sbettencourt,
actually yes what I did was to click on the update directly.
I downloaded the file RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1R_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_RED_Ship_Reduced.exe and executed that directly.
However, now, even this one is stopping at 2%.
Is there any hope, or have I destroyed the phone?
Thanks.
If you can't flash the Shipped ROM, you have now to try the Gold Card... Follow the steps in that Gold Card thread...
Hello everyone,
I finally managed to revive the device, by flashing it with a 'correct' shipped ROM, which did not give any errors on updating. Big thanks for all your support - you are the best!
As this starts to get addictive, and because I am now running a ROM version which dates to 12/11/2007 (2.27.468.1B WWE), what are the suggestions for upgrading the ROM please? My device is an ELF0100.
Thanks again.
Coool Now try to keep him alive
Very true
I managed to flash it with Onyx Ultimate 4.8 (10/07/2009) and it seems to be performing splendidly.
Thanks for all your help.
Good Job
Hi...i wanted to flash my rom....got around the hspl thing...My touch2 shows hard spl while booting up with the tricolor band..but where do I go from here....What do I do now to flash my ROM....could someone please help me with this thanks....!!
You need to find the ROM you like from all cooked roms here in this section, put it on your computer in a new folder (it will be .nbu file), download the custom RUU, connect your phone via active sync, start the RUU and follow the instructions.

My mistake, it must be nbh sorry Find the custom RUU if its not in the zip with the ROM and follow what i said earlier
can anyone explain me this..?? I flashed my ROM to a glass one yesterday.....liked the dusk too ..so i flashed my phone to dusk...then i thought that it was all getting a bit heavy so i flashed my phone to the mega lite rom....then i noticed that all the programs that were installed with glass and dusk were there in the lite rom too....just to confirm i flashed my phone to glass back and when it was booting up i saw the mega lite bootscreen!! Do i have to do something after i flash my phone to get rid of all the stuff that was installed during a previous flash????
Nope, every new flash deletes everything from the previous one.
Ok i think in needed to hard reset my phone after flashing...that did solve the problem anyways...thanks

did you flash a custom rom before this happened? If so, it is likely that you forgot to update to a compatible radi. Look through the thread for the rom you downloaded for details.
