BIG problem!

Hi!
Im new here in the HTC forum and I really love all the upgradings you can do with the Elf. But I've now bumped into a big problem.
I first fallowed all the steps about how to flash 6.1 roms on the phone. It worked great but because of the lack of special letter (for my country) I wanted to flash back to the original rom that I dumped. I used the used the ROM update utility to flash it back and it worked. But when the phone reboots it just shows the smart mobility screen for some seconds and then shuts off, so I started to think that I've bricked the phone. So I read all the recovery threads and tested the methods without success... I try to flash to different roms but still get the same result; the smart mobility text and then it shuts off. What should I do? Is this a known problem?
And I just want to att that ut dosn't say "RUU" in the top right corner of my screen when I boot into the tri color bootloader. Is this maybe the problem?
Sorry if this is a repost but I've used the search function without success. Don't really know what to look for, need a hint.
Thanks in advance!

This is the result of the last device info test I ran:

You bricked the HTC... Now you must recover him...
Follow this steps and with luck you will be fine:
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...
Remember, read all stuff in the thread's i point to you!!!
good luck
Ps: After you CID_Unlock your device, after and only after you can flash cooked ROM's

do as sbettencourt said.
but 1st.. try to find ur original shipped ROM. and flash it through SD card method.
u can find it from official HTC website.

well i got my original ROM but its .nbh file. How do i install or flash an .nbh file.... How do i open it... wat do i do of it

You need the RUU (Rom update utility), just put the ".nbh" file in the same folder of RUU and then run the RUU executable file.
RUU comes with most of the roms, but you can also download it from here http://www.mediafire.com/?bdwsdandzyd
hope this helps.

What exactly did you do to end up stuck at bootscreen?
Was this the result of trying to CID-unlock?

Given the fact that you have an Elfin and your IPL is 1.71.0002, my guess is that you flashed a rom meant for the Elf(128/64).

oops i see my problem ... holy sh...
i have used this here - first post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637
have i bricked the phone?
because the "unbrick" firmware dont help me and give error invalid vender id 294

can anyone help me? what can i do now? goldcard is at the moment not possible, because i dont have a compatible card reader or phone...

answer
try spl 3.10 and ipl 3.10
your problem may be resolved

i used this here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637&highlight=ipl+3.10
update error 270

i think ur phone is not cid unlocked try hardspl3.10 and ipl 3.10 again.
After that try to flash with onyx 6.14 rom
I think your phone will come alive,because my phone also hav the same problem when i unlocked the different spl and ipl.

i have post it, that the phone is not cid unlocked,
i tryed hardspl 3.10 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666&highlight=hardspl
see picture for my problem
he dont know the image from my phone, normal?

Are you able to boot into windows (on your pda)?
YES
Then you can use SoftSPL (aka "white screen method") to flash a HardSPL (or a USPL) in order to CID-Unlock your pda.
NO
Then you CAN NOT use SoftSPL (aka "white screen method") to flash a HardSPL (or a USPL) in order to CID-Unlock your pda.
Is there any other solution?
Flash an Official Shipped ROM with CID & MID that match your pda's
Flash the "Unbricker rom"(try both via usb and from sd-card)
Use the "GoldCard" method (which requires an Official Shipped ROM with MID that matches your pda's)
Good luck!
PS: I'm not posting ANY links in order to make you search on your own.
Sorry, but I feel that I have posted the same things over and over again...

thx for your answer, anyone read my post here?
1. im not able to boot into windows on my pda ...
2. i have read a lot of threads here in this forum
3. i dont find a shipped rom with my cid and mid .... when you have one for me, post the link please!
4. with the unbricker rom per usb i get the message error 270 (see post 6)
and flash with sd-card .. no error .. no flash .. i see the bootloader (i tried 2 micro sd cards)
5. goldcard method (see post 4) i dont have the hardware here and nobody has a windows or android pone ^^
and now?
other question:
i need for the goldcard exactly my original rom? i have think i can use any rom with this method ... damn it

so now i have it ... i have read the sd card cid with my gps device ... that run on win ce ...
then i have great a goldcard image and then i used the o2 rom update and now its fully functional
48h working and nothing happend and only what i need is a goldcard -.-

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

Very strange, try mobiler to input from desktop... But maybe it won't connect in locked mode.

Sounds like your digitizer may be damaged to me. Try my mobiler as suggested above. But I think he it right, it may not work when locked.

If you tried to flash rom before you unlocked the cid, then you are in trouble. Does your device boot normally? If yes use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418892 to let us know more about it.

CID is unlocked and am using a custom rom...will sure check the link and give it a try....thanks for the info....

I asked you to post info so we can tell you what to do next... And obviously you're Cid locked, trying to install rom can brick your device! Can you boot normally? if not your only option is to find your original stock rom .

hi tito
yeah my phone is HTC P-3450
n other info which i got from that device info file i posted in the earlier post, yes my phone is still booting in normal mode, it just that when i try to install the onyx it gives me error of image corrupt n then it reboot n start in normal window. thx for guiding me

Ok, go to this thread and follow instructions for cid unlock and Rom flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402104&page=2 especially from post 12.

thx for the help
hi bro thanks for helping me
just one question is that i download this ELF_USPL_1.17.0000 ver as u give me the link. there are few others ver also, so which u prefer i used this one first n then in future i can upgrade others.
and one another question is that before running this patch of uspl does i have to put onyx 6.0 in the same folder of this uspl or first i have to install this verson only n it has its customer rom
then i can update to onyx 6.0
thx in advance
plz guide me for this. as i dnt want to mess my mobile before i get ur proper guide lines thx once again.

I think you should read at least 10 pages so you feel comfortable with uspl procedure, last time I did it was 2 years ago... After you get 2.28 or 3.10 you can flash hspl and only then flash onyx.

hi bro
hi tito bro thanks for your guide lines i really appreciate for ur all the help you have given me, yeaterday first i install the uspl 1.17.0000 n then it went to update rom utility itself n then i could see it was showing version spl 1.17.0001 something n ipl 1.17.0002. then i see it reboot n went like the windows i had same one. then i flash the onyx n it took n install it completely. but i still want to know that can i still update to like 2.28 spl buz i have read ur comment n then i went to few pages of those n i see that most are saying to use 2.26 n then update to 2.28 spl n 2.26 ipl to get better speed and to have fast application run, so now can i do that spl 2.28 n ipl 2.26 update ?
and after i do that update does i have to flash onyx 6.0 again ?
thanks for your time

You are running too fast mate, you have to get higher SPL then upgrade to corresponding Hspl and only then install Onyx. Read the FAQ in Onyx thread!
Ps: you can directly upgrade to 2.28 SPL

hi
hi bro
well as u said i upgrade the spl to 2.28 but i dnt know still ipl is showing 1.17.0002 only, does that i have to install in another way, buz last time when i install spl 1.17.000 after update i see the ipl was showing 1.17.0002 but now when i update it to 2.28 spl. still ipl is showing the older ver only n not showing 2.27, or does its like i have to copy that .nbh file to that rom utility n replace with the one inside have n then update it?
n another problem is that b4 doing spl first time i forgot to take the backup of my original rom, so now i am afraid that if i do anything wrong maybe phone will stop completely working.

When using ruu make sure there's only one nbh, and as for backup, well it's too late to worry, think positive

thx
Hi bro
thx for your guide lines, ok now today i have updated ipl and now the version is showing
IPL : 2.27.0002
SPL : 2.28.0000
so now what next time i should do.
ok but one thing i want to tell u is that the windows my mobile boot is onyx only,
as i dint had back i dint took risk of formating n start to install all from first, so i am just doing updating as u guiding, so now as the ipl & spl is update, what step i have to do, pls let me know. so i will go n read n then take ur more guide lines to move ahead
thx alot in advance to helping me
