I was just trying to flas a new radio and when I connected my Polaris to my PC it was no longer recognized on my computer. Now I have tried several different computers where my other HTC phone works fine, but the Touch Cruise won't. Has anyone an idea what could be wrong or is there a way to flash a new radio from the bootloader? Would be thankful for any help.

Manny
i know somewhere in this forum is a topic about how to flash phone with sd card, ive seen it somewhere in the polaris upgrading i believe.... maybe an option?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384084 here is a guide howto
Instructions
Thank you so much for sending the link. I will try this now.
regards
np, hope it will work...
Tried to flash from micro sd car, but didn't work either, I guess it is because I don't have the proper bootloader /Hard-SPL installed. I wonder if there is a way to install the HARD-SPL.
that my friend, i dont know... maybe others can help ya... good luck with that!

Hi im sorry i had to post this as its probably been asked over and over but ive searched forum and cant seem to find a working solution for me.
I updated my HTC Touch ELF with Onyx ROM after updating SPL etc and everything went fine but couldnt get a signal etc on phone so decided to go back to old rom that i made a backup of untill i had done more research and found the ROM i wanted.
Reflashed the backup rom build i made everything looked good untill i went to boot and it just powered off after the orange brand logo.
I cant do the goldcard method as i have no other phone that can take the card i do however have a adapter for my pc for the card.
Ive treid the ubrick thread but cant get mtty.exe to use usb port.
Can somebody help me out to get this up and going again, Sorry for posting this i know its probably been asked many times but cant seem to get it going and am a n00b on this subject really.
thnx.
[EDIT]
Just managed to get that unbricking rom installed and booted so am gunna try and flash my original dump again.
[EDIE2]
Seems it some problem with my original backup as just doesnt boot after brand logo, When building with HTC Rom tool other files are green but OS file stays black does that mean the OS file is bad?
the adapter for ur card wont work, u need a WM device to make the goldcard method.

Cant seem to get my original dump back on though
I originally just wanted to update to windows 6.1 but there isnt a official update can you recommend the best/most stable unofficial one to use?
take a look at onyx, tess, touch hd or aether. and if u feel brave, u can try letama which is WM 6.5 beta
tried the onyx and another but cant find network just keeps "searching..."
what radio do u have? try with 3.34 or 3.39
Thnx, Just noticed the updates and are going to update and retry.
thnx for help, appreciate it
Do they have them updates for the ELF, can only find those versions for ELFIN.
[EDIT] nm Noticed they are for either
Still having trouble with signal always searching, Installed latest radio version aswell.
[EDIT] whoops what a dumbass, I missed the pin entry at beginning which sometimes pops up but then boots into today screen if not enetered in time, finds signal straight away now
Hi there guys,
i have i question/problem. Yesterday i wanted to flash my cruise with the dutch M-Amine-rom. I,ve done some flashes with my old wizard somewere like a year ago. Now I did read the polaris/cruise-wike, did succesfully install hardspl. I made an activesync-connection and brought my cruise in bootloader-mode. The problem (for me though) was that when te cruise comes in bootloader mode there was no more activesync-connection, there seems to be an usb-connection because in the tree-collored screen you can see 'usb'. My problem is that de second RUU-screen makes you clear that there has to be an active-sync-connection before you can flash/update your rom. So i didn't flash because i was affraid to brick my phone. Maybe it's normal and maybe the RUU will make the connection when running but i cant find the answer to that question. Can somebody help me? Is it normal that there's no active-sync-connection in bootloader-mode? Will the RUU make the connection and flash the device anyway?
Second strange thing: i secondly decided to flash with my sd instead according the discribed procedure. I ended up with an os with the number 1.28.00.00!!! So just an older version of wm6!!?? Afterwards I flashed back the official rom (3.13...) without being in bootloader but with an activesync connection because i thought with the official one you don't have to be in bootloader. Is this a right thought?? Anyway, I succeeded to replace original rom.
Sweat on the forehead!
Thanks in advance for great help.
Greetz!
Should I remove this tread after getting an answer?
Relax Ron - you have nothing to fear
The behaviour you describe in bootloader mode is normal - no need for activesync. You can click OK and away you'll go!
As for flashing from your sd card, only thing I can think of is that you somehow renamed an old nbh file, rather than the M-Amine nbh you were trying to flash.
I've used both methods (the sd card way has got me out of trouble a couple of times) and they both work fine.
Good luck!

Thanks for quick reply. I'll try to flash this day. In fact i'm quit sure it was the right nbh-file, so that part of the problem still remains a mystery. You're a great help, Thank you.

Thanks, i know that tread. I've spend lots of ours reading and searching before flashing because i want to prepare myself. I don't want to be some idiot that starts flashing before he knows what he is doing you know.
By the way. I downloaded the rom again to be really sure i have the right file.
Again thanks for your help!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I succeeded!
Thanks to you all! Long live xda!

Pretty much as the topic says; can you flash SPL via Memory Card like you can for ROMs? I'm trying to flash mine at work, never had an issue before as I'm an Tech so have Admin rights but the Network Manager has now decided to implement stricter security and so I can't flash the usual way.
Have tried searching for a solution but can't find anything about flashing SPL via SD so am assuming you can't but thought I'd ask just incase

Yep you can just name the .nbh file to BLACIMG.nbh like you would with a rom image and flash it it also works for radios 2 lol
Not working for me. Says the img is not recognised or something like that (flashes so fast I can barely read it).
Currently on 1.54 and trying to HardSPL to 1.6 as I'm fed up of using uspl. Going to have to do it at home I think Patience is a virtue I do not have Gutted!
Thanks for the help though; least I know it can be done now

Try another sd card. I have one that does the same thing but another that works fine.
You can flash both rom's and radio's from SD card using same method. However you cannot use HSPL or USPL on sd card. For both of these to work your HD must be connected to your pc, with your HD in bootloader
Hello!
I got an HTC HD2 from T-Mobile USA. Now I have got the problem, that I need German language for the phone.
Do some rom files exists which contains German and maybe no provider branding??
And where I can download it??
I used the search button but can't find a clear answer. Only some problems with German keyboard layout.
THX!!
Regards
Chris
No one can help me???
Regards!
You're in luck. NRG Energy Roms are now made in German. Linked below. You'll need to flash your phone and install the proper radio. It's very easy if you read up before flashing. In my sig you'll find a link with info on how to flash your phone. Follow it to a "T" and you'll be fine. Hit us up if you need any more help.
Good Luck.
2nd post, click on the German flag.

Thank you very much!
But before I have to unbrick the phone via Jtag. I'll do this this evening with my new box and will report if the flash works.
The Flashfiles are in normal HD2 section. They are compatible with 1024MB Leo?
THX!

I for one have never heard of Jtag. You don't have to unbrick the phone because if you phone was bricked it wouldn't be working ever again. You have to flash hardspl on the phone to allow you to change its rom. And because you already said that you have a T-Mobile USA phone it should already have the proper radio. Take a look below for instructions on how to flash your phone.

actually jtag is the one possibility for fixing the 51 radio meets tmous brick, but they're fairly expensive, and not many people have access to them. It allows you to write directly to the rom chips so no bootloader necessary.
@Chris021286, you have a brick? and you are going to jtag it? What type of jtag do you have?
We'd all be very interested in your results, please, if you would keep us posted on how you get on.

Yes, the phone is bricked. It was flashed with a Europe LEO flash (512MB). Phone won't start in bootloadermode anymore.
I'll try to reflash the BL via JTAG tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be a problem.
GSM repairing and flashing is my hobby since 8 Years so I have some experience
If you want to know more about JTAG and how to you can send me your ICQ Nr. as PN.
Regards
hehe, interesting. I've never had chance to play with one, but read a bit of theory.
Let us know how you get on, a lot of people have bricked them with the wrong radio, it would be good to know it can be done.
Most people just take them back to tmo and play dumb.
Finally I take the time to unbrick the HD2. I sucessfully flashed the bootloader.
Now the phone starts in Bootloader Mode again
But I don't know how to fix the rest.
If I start the phone normal it hangs at HTC Logo (There stands only HTC and nothing more) and the phone isn't recordnized via USB.
If I start it in BL Mode phone is recordnized from Win.
But active sync won't find it...so I can't do step 2
So I continued with step 3^^
Flashing worked ok. I flashed the files from: Energy.Leo.23127.Sense2.5.GER.Aug.28
And have done also an hardreset. But still the same. HTC Logo and Bootloader mode.
I guess I need to install any HSPL or Radio rom, right? But how???
So please tell me how to finish my work
THX!
Regards
Chris
PS: When I fixed the phone I'll introduce you how to unbrik any HTC device via JTAG. And will show you the 3 jtag boxes which are on marked.
It is nothing special, everyone can find it via google, but it seems that it isn't know in this great forum yet
EDIT
Phone starts now
HSPL flashing was starting after I reconnected the phone when the flasher was searching for phone (search takes about 15sek^^).
After that I repeated flashing ROM and it was still the same. But after flashing 2.07.50 Radio, as NRGZ28 wrote, phone boots as it shoud!
hi
I have got a bricked HTC ELF with a tri-colour screen.(red, green and blue). I did try matty.exe and found that cid is locked. g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF
I dont have the original firmaware backed up. and could not find anywhere on this site and internet.
device id: ELF010050
cid: HTC E11
IPL 1.17.002
SPL: 1.17.0000
Is there any way to find the original rom or is there any way to unlock the cid and then just put any rom on it? I dont have the working pda or wm device to do goldcard method. I know there is way to do the goldcard method without the WM device but then I need a desktop or laptop with a PCI or internal cardreader installed whereas I have got a usb card reader.
can usb card reader do the goldcard method without the wm device?
any suggestion will be appreciated since it has been almost 3 years for me to get my device back to life.
regards
plz suggest.
regards
Hi mate,
All info you need is in the stickies and /or using search function. You need to unlock cid and flash custom rom. BTW tri-colour screen is called Bootloader.
Ps: there was no reason to open a new thread for that ...
hi
thanx for the reply
I have been reading the stickies but could not find
the specific soultion for my problem. can u send me a link or step by step instruction?
regards
Moved to general as this does not belong in development.
There's no need for a step by step guide, all the information is in the wiki or stickies.
hi
I have runout of options and tried almost all. still no success. I was asked to
read stickies which I did but still no use.
no one seems to be answering the question. haha
anyway I have not given up hope.
regards
Yea!! That's the spirit
I can answer to the card reader: as far as I know it has to be an on board reader, otherwise it masks/hides something with the cardid.
hi
hmmm. so that means cardreader option has gone too. haha.
anyway thanx for letting me know that.
so the only option left for me is too wait for someone to send the original
rom so that I can download it and put on my HTC P3450.
regard
I wouldnt hand around for too long waiting for someone to upload the stock firmware, it may never happened to be honest.
Do you know the original operator for the phone? It is possible, at a push, that it may be lurking on a website still, just hard to find. That could possibly yeild a result, hopefully.
If you post, I may have a look - but again, I can't promise anything!

What's the damage if he tries all the roms, one after the other ? If there's none, gogagogi might get lucky
His phone is still CID locked. I guess it could potentially be a brick. I think, that or it won't let you flash the rom at all. I forget which - been a while!
gogagogi: Have you tried seeing if you can flash ipl/spl from SD card - never been in the position you're in so just curious.
Hi
yes it is cid locked. I did try to flash few stock roms which I thought similar to the rom I have got
on my device through usb data cable but no luck. after 2% or 3% is says invalid vendor ID. then I tried through micro sd card but same result.
then I tried unbricker rom through usb and micro sd card but same result.
even I tried to change the vendor id through a softerare called xvi32. that is
a hex reader. open the .nbh file and change the vendor id but the result was no good. it said " the file or image has been corrupted"
and I never tried to flash ipl and spl.
regards
can you give the IPL/USPL a go to see what happens? (its a link to it for you)
Also, whats was your opertor, not sure if i missed it.
hi
when I bought it, it was on T-mobile. but it was sim free. thanx for the link.
I will have a look.
regards
t-mobile uk sorry or something else?
hi
it was on T-mobile NL.(netherlands).
I did have a look at the link u sent it to me.
after reading it, I found out that Microsoft ActiveSYnc has to be green first.(connected).
whereas it can not be connected, if the device is stuck on bootloader so this option has gone too.
the only option so far is, either I find out the original rom or if I can find out some matty.exe commands which can help me unlock the CID so that I can put any rom.
matty.exe is working fine so far.
so what do u think?
regards
gogagogi:
I don't appreciate the message you have sent to my personal in box to be honest, You're lucky I am replying to you at all!
When in bootloader does it say RUU at the top right? And does it pick up USB connection? Have you tried to flash via SDCARD the IPL/SPL roms?
I have a job, a daughter, and a live out side of XDA. If I do not reply to a thread, it means I am thinking, have missed it by accident, or am simply just too busy. I do not get paid to be here, I am not a moderator, I am just a member like yourself, I do not expect to get private messages hassling me to reply to a thread.
The Elf isnt even my main device. I use a HTC Hero (Android), and have done for quite a long time now. I look in here simply to help out other people who are still using this device.
Thanks, Stu
well it does say ruu text at the right top corner and it does say usb at the bottom.
as I said it does connect through Matty.exe.
well I did not mean to disturb you. I was just wondering cuz u were replying me before and then just stopped.
so mate you just chill.
ignore any previous questions from me.
regards
OKay, as the ruu is there, you should still be able to flash a from that point - I have done this a fair few times.
Have you tried the IPL/SPL yet?
