Hi all,
I have a MDA TOUCH XL (Elfin) from T-Mobile.
However when i got this Unit from a private Person iwould have real bad Signal, to mostly no Signal.
After some research i came across this Radio Update under the following Link:
http://gsmfreeboard.com/showthread.php?t=147057
However i did not read that this was NOT for the ELFIN but only for the ELF.
After 2 hrs of only having the Bootimage of T-Mobile for about 10 seconds and then a black screen i finally got back into the Bootloader to upload the O2 ROM that is also mentioned in the above Link (page 4 or 5).
Since then I can not flash, as i always get an Error about corrupted File or incompatible Device.
Same Error with the official T-Mobile Rom
Here my Units Info:
MDA TOUCH XL
WM 6 Professional
Installed Rom: O2 4.1.100.1332
IPL 2.21.0002
SPL 2.23.0000
Mostly i get an Error 270.
Can anyone please tell me what exactly i would have to get to update Roms again and how to update IPL and SPL (if needed) ???
I have read for days on different sites and either ia m to stupid to find the right answer or i am the 1st with this Issue.
English is not my Homelanguage, so maybe thats why i am to stupid i guess.
So if anyone could please help me?
I would be very thankful.
Thank you in advance:
Wolfgang

It might be a duplicated topic but I do search on the forum and need some or your kindly help, xda-developers members.
I bought my HTC P3300 from ebay and it was already in English. A strange thing that it had French Extended ROM : 1.12.406.101. The rest is exact to the ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship ROM (ROM : 1.12.405.1 9/12/06, Bootloader : 1.12.0000, Radio : 02.67.90)
Yesterday, when upgrading to PDAMobiz lite version, I accidentally unplug the device then now it turns to brick. No futher going except HTC boot screen with IPL 1.12.0001, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 02.67.90, OS 1.28.0.0.
I try to put my phone into bootloader mode (triple color screen) and update with the Ship ROM downloaded from xda FTP. Unfortunately, all these ROMs result in "Invalid Model ID" or "Invalid Vendor ID" after 2% of progress then automatically reboot.
I understand that my phone is not unlocked, that procedure I have to do beforehand with the help of IMEICHECK. But now it is no use because my phone is a brick. That supprise me is why can not I go back with the WWE Ship ROM version that I already seen on my phone.
So I suspect that
1. My phone is HTC P3300 French version then the ebay buyer change to English UI before selling it to me
2. Because of unplug the phone while upgrading, part of bootloader of my phone was corrupted.
My solution can be
1. Send the phone to IMEICHECK because they have ability to open the hardware and re-flash the ROM directly. But it costs a lot of money and time because I have to pay for the fee, tax, and shipping.
2. Waiting for some kind people to share their French ROM of HTC P3300 so I can give a try on this. So please, if anyone owe a HTC P3300 French version please send me your dumped ROM ([email protected]) or let me know where can I get it. I will be appriciated that.
And to the xda-developers members, could you give me some more advices in this case, I was strugling with that for nearly 2 days. Thanks very much.

During the flash your security area on a device, including CID has been corrupted.
Actually none of image will flash on this device.
CID area must be restored in order to flash device. Yes, IMEI-CHECK recalculate all security area and flash it to device with help of modified spl loaded in a memory. But this is done from windows. In your case, you are in bootloader and you can not load modified spl.
Only one solution I see is to use jtag interface, but not sure that pins are known on artemis motherbord for jtag interface. With jtag you can load modified spl.
Simple way is just to send device to service center.
best regards,
Hic no choice. I am unable to open this device to access through jtag interface. Do you have any ideas ?

Send it cervice centre or Imecheck
@victoradjei: that's good idea. Could you please tell me which one is better ? Imeicheck or HTC service center ?
I live in Australia and I bought this phone from ebay, which service center (Europe, Taiwan ..) should I sent my device to?
I have talked with the guy in Imeicheck and he asure that this problem can be solved. However, have any one in xda-developers had experience with Imeicheck? Are they good at this kind of repair? How about their reputation?
Thanks very much

Hello,
I wanted to upgrade my MDA Compact 2 to AKU3.
I started the update tool, like described in the forum here. The progressbar
on my MDA screen appears and when 95% are reached the update tool give me the ERROR [302]: UPDATE ERROR.
The reset of my MDA gives me only the 3color Boot-Loader Screen with the following Numbers:
IPL 2.06.0001
SPL 3.08.0001
and RUU in the right top corner.
Has anyone an idea to solve this problem, an downgrade to the old AKU2 can also not be done, because i get always the error about an wrong vendor ID.
I read a thread, to unlock CID, but this is not possible in Bootloader Mode, or?
thanks
Michael

Hello,
I solved my problem!!
I installed the Radio ROM Upgrade:
ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/Radio_ROMs/Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.69.21.exe
and it works.
There is maybe at 95% the Radio ROM Upgrade, and this worked not with the AKU 3.3 Image.

Michael
I have the same issue. It's asking me for a password when I click on your link.
@optical, read the FAQ
@mwulz, thanks a lot ;-)
I got the same Problem. Does the link also work with the T-Mobile MDA Vario?
I don't want to crash my MDA Vario...
Thanks in advance
No, it won't help you. It's the radio rom, so it will not fit your wizard. You can try to flash any radio rom for wizard or any splash.
@mwulz
Thanks to you, I had the same problem (95% Error) and my mda compact II stoped working. With your tipp it works again!

Hello
I recently bought a htc touch but i think it was from uk, because he have the orange logo...
The seller told me that the htc was unlocked to portuguese card´s...
I put a vodafone, or TMN card, i can see the contacts, and the messages, but the phone does not comunicate with outside, don´t make calls, dont recieve call´s, don´t send messages, don´t receave messages, and after a wille, the phone start´s searching the wire of my card´s....
Can anyone help me please??
Sorry my bad english, i´m portuguesse lol.
Best regards
Tiago
Okay.
Are you sure its unlocked?
What is your spl / ipl ?
To check, soft reset the phone and press the power and camera key together.
Hi
Yes it´s unlocked,
The IPL is 2.27.0002
The SPL is 3.07.cmon
Update your radio.
Update your ipl and spl to 3.10CMON.
It's possible your phone has the same problem that some members (including myself) are seeing, a problem with the GSM radio. As far as anyone's been able to tell, it's a hardware problem. Try updating the radio and/or re-flashing a new rom, but if it still doesn't work after that you will need to get it repaired. I'm still waiting to hear back from the guy I bought mine from, to see if he can get it fixed under warranty, but most likely I'll have to get HTC to repair it themselves. Hopefully it won't cost too much...
Just one last note, if you bring your phone down for a warrenty repair, like I did.
Flash your phone to stock 6.1 ROM available at the Elf Upgrading forum (Which is right beside this forum)
Than flash your IPL and SPL to 2.x
help me to unlock a htc elf 100 today please
Please refer to the Elf Upgrading forum.
They have a thread of how to unlock a phone which is pretty good
Cheers!
Dear all,
I have a HTC Charmer (t-mobile, German) and I am trying to change the ROM to an english one. I already managed to unlock the phone with Lokiwiz 3.0a but I didn't have any success at all trying to get a WiMo 5 ROM. Does anyone know where can I get one? I found one in t-mobile website (uk) but when I'm installing it, it says "invalid vendor ID".
I read in other threads that Prophet ROM may work.
http : //forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-343356.html
However, I'm not sure if it's true and I'm afraid of obtaining a cool brick as an outcome.
Many thanks,

Next time just read and if you ask give more info. Which SPL and IPL do you have?
And to flash the English Aku3 to a German phone you need the NoID ruu. You can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
If your SPL is 2 or higher I would recommend you to use an English WM 6 6.1 or 6.5 instead as they can be found in Charmer Mobile 6 subforum.
Before you flash WM6 or higher please read how it works. (The CID unlock part of the one howto isn't needed to be done!!)
Hope that helps.
And next time please read first and ask then!!!

Hi!
You need 2.06 IPL,SPL to flash cooked ROMs.Downgrade is risky,I did it,but it needs some knowledge.
Before do anything with your Charmer,make a Goldcard,it can be useful!!!

Do you know if it Elf or Elfin (Elfin is double memory), it's important if you have to flash a rom. Here's a link for original roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Elf_Upgrades , none is Italian.

yes it's surely elf because on the box the name is htc p3450/3452 Ita S
so elf isn't S i think is the xl model
now i'm going out, but if you can help me to know what is the problem, tomorrow we can meet again
i want to remove tim's brand and i will put in a good rom with large buttons
see you bb and thanks
As far as I know xl is elfin, and if you flashed the wrong rom maybe that's why you got this problem. Anyway here's a link to a good friend who's probably more expert on Italian roms than me, Flaviopak, send him a pm http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=778494
