Error 270

I really hate to make a bad first impression but...
No matter what I do I get this error. I was trying to HARDSPL the phone, I put it into boot loader mode, I installed all the .cab's . It starts the progress bar up gets to about 3% and the phone screen goes black and restarts and then ERROR 270 shows up in the RUU. I searched around but found nothing for the Herald about it. Just asking for any help as to what I can do.
Thank you in advance.

ok that was disabled. I enabled it, same problem.
Seems to be running Open Touch 5.0.
Just bought it off ebay.

Ok think I got it. Seems to be very hard to find a newbie guide for first timers of this sort of thing.
Found some files by ivanmmj and sifted through them. Found a USPL program that SID unlocked the phone, after that I was able to run HARD SPL, and everything was fine. Now my next step is to try to flash a ROM on it , wish me luck.
Think after all this work I'm going to try to write a guide for first timers like me to explain this stuff a little better.

If it had OpenTouch 5.0, it might have already been HardSPLed. Either way, I'm glad you found the answer yourself. It shows that you actually did your research.

That's really not a bad idea. I know I was EXTREMELY confused the first time I flashed my rom. It took me a lot of reading to finally understand RUU stood for rom update utility. You do know for some roms, it's not necessary to hard spl. I went from stock rom to open touch 3.0. What rom are you thinking about flashing to?

There's a walkthrough by me somewhere in the forums.

I assume you flashed another ROM and not just installed TouchFlo onto your stock ROM? How did you flash the ROM, what ROM did you flash? Has the freezing always been this way since you flashed?
Sorry I can't give a ton of answers without more information.

ok ok .... to start out i'm a mayor nub when it comes to this..
onward, I saw a video on youtube with directions on how to flash your device...ok i plugged my T-mobile usb to my my laptop i downloaded a .rar file named "flashing with rapi enabled" It told me to put this rapi folder that was in the .rar file in my t-mobile documents,i extracted the file in desktop, double clicked it and this black box appeared with and started to to its thing.. thats it i think i flashed it DID I? The freezing started ever since i got it.
thanks for your prompt reply man appreciate it!!

Okay... The method you used is called a USPL flash. Is the device you are using a T-Mobile Wing?
EDIT: Just read your first post, nevermind about that question.
You have two choices here. You can flash back to the stock ROM... You can do this by downloading the T-Mo Stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321717 . Put the phone in bootloader by holding the camera button while pressing the stylus into the reset hole. Maker sure the phone is connected to your computer. Run the installer.
or
You can flash another ROM like JustStable v2 or JustHome. You can find more info here: http://thewingster.com/ivanmmj.aspx This is what I recommend as they are great and fast ROMs. A lot faster than the stock ROM. TO flash these, you can follow the same directions you saw in the video. Just replace the nbh file in the RUU folder with the one you download from that site. Note: You cannot flash any of the ROMs marked with LZX or Micro with the method you followed before

Thanks man! I honestly thank you!
just one last question:
on your NOTE ABOUT LZX OR MICRO ROMS how would i tell which is which? are the ROMS that you are recommending LZX OR MICRO? i really dont understand.
Thanks man!!

alright man u came to da right place
first if u still have ur touchflo rom installed then good
now hard reset the touchflo if it freezes try as many time as you can get to the point where it restarts
then when it restart connect ur wing to pc and download the pagepool size
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JB2AC9FD
then open it (make sure active sync is enabled)
then open it there are couple of .nb and .bat files
open 6mb or 8mb (which changes the pagepool)
6mb is recommened
on ur wing it going to ask to open some file
(on custom roms it wont ask)
so after dat then it should exit itself
then disconnect usb from pc and reset ur wing (use a pen or something pointy to press the reset button on the left under volume button)
Well miltus, u just got ur wing back!!!!!!!!!!
trust me it wont freeze anymore on start up or anyway
it might freeze if you keep sliding it back and forth
it will freeze if TOO many programs running in backround example if 20 programs running then yes it will freeze.
oh yeah if u still have official rom (4.10.2.523 something like that)
then this will work, only it will be faster!!!
oh yeah say thinks!!!!!!!

thanks for the feed back man appreciate it!! but i changed the TouchFlo for another ROM named JUSTHOME WORKS GREAT!!!
Thank you for your help!!!

What have you tried? Have you pulled your USB out of Phone and PC?
Have you soft reset your phone?
Put a bit more detail and we can help

ok so first i used the Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex with ActiveSync and that worked fine. Then I moved the BLACIMG.nbh into the BlackstoneRUUWrapper to install the new ROM, and that worked fine too, 100%. Then I removed the USB cable and restarted the device. Now I am noticing that the device is working properly for maybe 10 secs, but then it freezez, and I have to resett it

Usually after a flash its recommended to Hard reset atleast 2 times did you do that?
Did you follow crackwhores instructions completely?
When I have flashed I wait till the finish screen on pc shows the phone should shut down and restart itself thats when i disconnect USB
when phone shows welcome screen i pull battery out and hard reset

oh so when everything is finished, and there is the FINISH screen on the PC, you should take the battery out and hard reset! Did not do this. New to all this. Managed to connect my device again by USB, and putting Miri's WM 6.5. Will hard reset after that

I have been help all through this site
its great bunch of people

Hi Ozmoran
I still have problems with my device, first it works for a number of minutes, then freezes, then after around 5 minutes comes back to normal. And secondly, cannot get my reception to work, ie cannot receive calls and messages at the moment. Its asking me, "Do you want to turn the phone on?" and when i click on yes, nothing happens.
This is the exact procedure I am following:-
1) Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex. After 100%, I click on Finish on the PC, and remove USB cable. I remove the battery off and on again and I hard reset (from the small button on the back right?)
2) I do the same procedure for BLACIMG.nbh and that works fine too, 100% finished.
After this, first I notice that the colours are not vivid colours, but like an old PC colours, so i turn off and on the device (from the button at the top). Then after loading, its asking me to click on the "+" to align the screen, which I do, follow the next screen, and the ROM is working.
However as I said, sometimes its unresponsive, and cannot get reception from my mobile provider.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help, I am a complete newbie

ok found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
will follow it this eve and see what happens

Reason you are experiencing this discolourization and not reception/signal is due to you most likely not following flashing procedure properly and possibly using wrong HSPL before flashing rom.
You need to use HSPL 1.56 to flash a 1.56+ based rom. Any previous version you need to use 1.14 HSPL.
I notice you have already found cRaCKwHoRe's guide. If you follow it, you will be fine. If you get stuck, just post a query inhis thread and someone will help you!!

great
i downloaded everything from that post and will do it this evening since the phone is at home.
Hopefully I can use my phone again very soon

If you also read this section in the wiki, it refers to your greenish discolourization as well and offers assistance. Though if you follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide you'll be fine

thanks guys
any preference on any particular ROMS that are popular?
I was going to try Miri's WM6.5

Good rom to start with if you want wm6.5, would also try EnergyROM HD by NRGZ28. Both excellent roms. As for wm6.1, IMHO Duttys is the best.
For you, I would try each and make your own opinion

Thanks
Will try Miri than and see how it goes
Last question (hopefully), once I will install the Hard SPL, there is no need to install it again if I want to flash the ROM again right? Just install the ROM i want
Thanks a lot for all your help!

Yes, once you install HSPL its permanent and you have no need to re-install it. You can restore default SPL at a later stage if you want.
USPL is temporary and needs to be re-used before every flash to new radio or rom
If I were you, I'd read up on both USPL & HSPL in the wiki for a better understanding before you jump in head first!!

yeah i will read more about it, just wanted to experiment.
Thanks for all your help!

Hey guys
managed to do it! Flashed the ROM and working perfectly now!
Thanks a lot for your help and time

Opp's messed up sisters BA

Hello All,
Ive just come over from the universal forum to update the rom in my sisters BA, I managed to flash with Gloomy 3.1b and all worked well. I then thought about flashing the radio to 1.10 off the wiki, but after doing that all I get is the four colour screen and R 1.10 at the bottom instead of the three sets as normal. So I thought no problem, I can flash a rom again but still no joy, just the four colour screen and R1.10. It will go into bootloader and mitty works on it, it just will not boot. can anyone steer me in the correct direction please. The BA is clearly different from the Universal I am used to.
Many thanks
Jay

Did you format with mtty? I had the same problem but that fixed it. Here are the instructions.

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I managed to sort it now. the radio rom I downloaded seemed to be corrupt in some way, so as soon as I loaded a new (1.15) it worked fine.
Thanks once again

Some help for beginner

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
