Hi spirosleon
To hard reset:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
I took this from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Elf
You should read all of it and slowly try to understand the basics.
For Greek you need to change MUI read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374677&highlight=greek+rom , the Greek cab is in post 92

I did it but nothing!!!!!
It just soft reset. I hold them for more than minute but nothing. Is it possible to be an mulfaction of the rom? Its the original one

HI
First Your touch should recognize 4GB Sd card check it is formated as Fat32 or not
Second ressing red and green buttons together with stylus soft reset the screen becomes blacck with several lines of words on it at this point press midlle action button for hard reset
If the device doesnot hard reset and cannot see all size of SD this may be a phake (clone) device
If it is a clone you cannot upgrade rom

I am sorry, it looks like a chinese clone
See if this works for hard reset: press and hold volume up button + camera and then use the stylus to do reset

This looks like a clone as the rom version is also strange to HTC roms try to return to the seller if you bought it as original also compare its price to original
if you by on net give them negative feedback

T-mobile Mda stuck on boot screen

I have a cid and sim unlocked T-mobile mda running Wm5. Problem is now when I boot up the device it hangs @ the T-mobile boot screen. I have
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
Gsm 02.25.11
os 2.26.10.2
Any help plz guys
EDIT... FIXED THE PROBLEM Found this in and it worked...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
The only Port Selections available are:
COM1
COM2
COM3
COM4
COM5
What am I doing wrong?
i got the same problem too
only com1 and com2 r there
pleace help me
Yes please someone help!
I want to try this, too, but my mtty tool only shows some com-ports and not WCEUSBSH001 ! what's wrong?
Does this work with mini sd cards bigger than 128 mb, too? is there a limit?
ok, I have the right port in mtty tool now, but...
when I enter "r2sd all" and press enter it says this:
r2sd all
***** user area size = 0x77F00000 Bytes
R2SDBackup() - Download type = 5
usTotalBlock = 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512
You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image
Cmd>
what can I do?
any help is greatly appreciated!

Someone explain, help...

Hello,
This is my first post on this forum.
Im new to the Pocket Pc's. I got this T-Mobile MDA II from my friend 2 days ago and that was the first time in my life when I touched the PPC.
I have a big problem.
MDA II is not reading the SMS (''the phone is not ready, try again in 15min'').
And another problem is GPRS. MDA says ''connecting'' or something like that, and nothing happens.
The PPC is from Germany, and I live in Croatia. And the language is in English-Germany.. Something is on English, something on Germany.
Can someone explain what's the problem ?
And another question
I download the WM6.1 AKU1.0(build 19199).
I can't get to the Bootscreen mod, I click the middle navigation button, then power button and nothing happens.
And where is the reset button ?
Sorry for my stupid questions and bad english.
But I need some help.. Please!
Please!
I need someone to explain how to install ROM on MDA II.
the reset button is on the left of the charging block ( tiny hole )
follow these instructions
Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
===========================================================================================
PS: Upgrade on your own risk
omg this is amazing...

This is also my 1st post here. But I'd been monitoring the xda-developer forums for a long time. I spend more time reviewing posts rather than posting in forums. Anyways I think I can help. Here's the answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderSdCardFlashing. You can also use the search function provided by this website to search for topics that you need.
Thanks for the link which lead me to bootloader info below
"you can connect to the bootloader, either via a serial cable, and use a terminal program like hyperterm. or via usb, and use mtty. make sure you have disabled the serial or usb connection in activesync, before trying to connect to the bootloader."
So i am guessing its both USB CABLE or USB CRADLE got i just purchase one on Amazon for 90 pence

Unidentified USB device problem

Hello everybody,
Does anyone can tell how to fix the error message "Unidentified USB device - Please enter the name of your device" etc.. + field to fill and Enter or Cancel buttons? Once it appears, most of functions of the device go frozen and all I can do is to soft - reset it which is very inconvenient of course.
To be precise the message is displayed at random, but more often when I type SMS (not necessarily the case however).
I know that only YOU guys may help me to find an issue. So I do trust in you all.
My Uni config, if it helps :
WM 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack
OS 5.1.465
ROM version 2.00.41 WWE
Radio version 1.17.00
ExtROM : 2.00.147 WWE
Thanks in advance ;-)
A fan of yours,
Rado Heriniaina

THANKS A LOT FOR ANY HELP INFO , solution....
The problem is a hardware failure and the module does not initialize TAPI. You can't solve this problem, if the guarantee is valid you can only send it in for service, otherwise I do not know if it agrees with the cost of repairs or cost for shipping a new phone.
ah ... ummm if yu got a cooked ROM ... jus take a backup n clear internal storage ... i mean d settings>system>clear storage ..
ur fone will reinstall d OS ...
n ur gud
factory reset
factory reset and it will be good

My P3450 is nackered. lol

My farther has asked me to sort his new phone for him, not sure where he got it from but it's a HTC Touch P3450...... I think, and the Windows is in Japanese.
I did some searching and found that I needed a English Windows Mobile Rom and thats where all the problems started.
1. I cant Hard Reset the phone. I hold the 'talk' and 'end' buttons while reseting and the phone just boots into the Windows. (I do hold the buttons down)
2. I cant get the Bootloader Screen, the TriColour screen. I downloaded 'enable-rapi' and followed the instructions but the phone always boots into the Windows.
3. I downloaded 'Touch3G_2.33.CO2.V33_host_by_mu' which I belive to be an original Rom, WM6.0. When I run 'ROMUpdateUtility' it goes through until it displays 'Verifying the information on your PDA phone' but the space on the next screen where the information about my phone should be, is blank. I click 'next' and the software says it going to copy to Rom over and to wait about 10 mins, and then the USB Connection drops. This happens EVERY time.
I also downloaded a 'device_info' program but I got these results

Any help with any of the above questions would be great, or maybe someone who has experienced the same problems.
Hi
There are 2 possibilities:
1 this is a chinese clone, do a search for these 2 words to understand. The clues are you can't hard reset with the normal combination and device info can't recognise it.
2 you bricked your device by not Cid unlocking before flashing the WRONG rom, Touch 3g is another device. If you can still use it normally then it's the first possibility.
BTW you also skipped the most important step before flashing: read carefully the wiki
Good luck
Many thanks Tito12, I have been looking into this a bit more but only managed to comfuss myself more. lol
I dont think its been 'bricked', if I switch the phone on normaly it loads in Windows and works fine - but in Japanese.
I have looked more into the idea of it being a 'cloned Jap WM' but nowhere seems to show any answers on being able to change the installed Rom to another one.
I have also found out that there is a difference between Elf and Elfin, I have been using the Elfin software, so I searched for Elf software and got redirected to the Elfin software.
I tried the CID Unlocking again, the info on the computer screen says its going to restart the phone into BootLoader but the phone resets and loads Windows - Aggghhhh
I also tried to Flash the Rom with a new WM I downloaded but the USB drops just before the Rom starts to install.
Also, you said 'BTW you also skipped the most important step before flashing: read carefully the wiki'. I hate to be a Noob but I have searched the XDA Forums for the answers and even tried the Wiki but still no luck. Is it something Im doing wrong.
Thanks all
Hi
This is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Elf.png
There's no japanese clone, chinese clone is a device that looks like the Elf/in but cannot be flashed with winmo tools. There are a couple threads dealing with it but AFAIK you have to find other ways to change the rom (if they exist).
Do you see IPL and SPL when you are in bootloader?
