[Q]ELF will not Hard Reset or go to BOOTLOADER - Touch GSM General

Ok, here's my situation:
I just bought a HTC Touch/Elf and I wanted to upgrade a couple of things in it.
FYI, it's not the first time I'm playing around with some HTC Smartphone...I upgraded a 8125 & 8525 from WM5 to WM6.5...anyway..
So, I tried to get to the Bootloader by pressing POWER+CAMERA+RESET ...nothing happened, except that the phone just restarted normally.
I tried to upgrade the USPL...nothing either...
I tried to Hard Reset the phone (maybe this could help...)...nothing there too...
All the things I tried came to the same conclusion = the phone just restarted normally...???
Here's what I could find :
ROM 1.11.706.1B CHS
ROM DATE 05/24/07
Ril VERSION 03.07.90
Protocol 4.1.13.51
WM 6.1 Professional
What can be wrong? Can it be the phone itself?
Is there another way to enter the Bootloader?
Am I missing something...or doing something wrong?
I need your help guys...I've been reading all around the forum for the last 2 days, and I'm going now a bit crazy...LOL
Thanks
Michel

Is your phone stuck ??.. or it's just that it's not going to bootloader??... if your phone is going to today screen ,.. connect to activesync and use the device_info tool from dsixda... and let us know the results

Now the phone is frozen...it boots, then I get a blue screen. The touch screen does not work anymore, the only thing I can do is reset (soft)...and that's it!
I cannot even see it on my PC when I connect it vis USB....
Darn....

to go to bootloader without the reset button(that can be damaged in most models)
take out your battery and hold the power and the camera button
that will get you in the bootloader
if you have unlocked your device then you are lucky if not then you are out of luck

i thought to enter the bootloader it was just the camera button and the soft reset,
hmmm... u learn something new everyday

Yes the phone is unlocked, but NO, it is not working ...again...
Everytime I try to get to the Bootloader, the phone just ''soft-reset'' itself.
I'm guessing that the WM installed is probably corrupted, it freezes on the Start Screen...darn...

Ok...I figured out how to Hard Reset the phone:
POWER + LEFT KEY (green) + MIDDLE BUTTON
Strange???...I never saw this combination anywhere...
Now, I need to figure out the Bootloader combination...

Yes and No....
I was told, before getting the phone that it was an ''original'' HTC, but when I got it, I could clearly see that it was a clone. For the price, I though it would not be a ''real'' one...but I read a lot online about the copies, and except the bootloader thing, it does work like a real HTC.
As far as I'm concern, if the phone works fine, and don't see a problem using a clone, but the clone has to work...
If I can get to the Bootloader, then I can play with it a bit...now I can only installed stuff in it, as a regular WM Smartphone...no challenge here

Can Work - Can't Upgrade

Indeed Elf clones run the same as original but it use modified OS and may contain different hardware so it needs its own drivers and cannot be upgraded by original or cooked HTC roms

Thanks for the reply.
I understand the ''modified OS'', but what if I want to upgrade the RADIO ROM?
Can I use a ''regular'' Touch Radio ROM to do this?

Dont Know about that, look for radio version on your device and see if it is similar to that of touch but search well first or my may get a brick

The Radio ROM now is 03.07.90, which seems to be a ''real'' Touch ROM, as per the WiKi here.
So I'm guessing that I can upgrade the Radio Rom with a more recent one...

Help with my Bricked 8125

I think my 8125 is bricked. I've never had a problem flashing roms until yesterday I tried Farias Kitchen ROM. I flashing went through ok like normal, but when it restarted, it gets a little bit after the second splash screen. The green windows mobile with farias names at the bottom loads, then the topbar of windows mobile loads with the start button, but then nothing else.
I've tried reflashing it in forced bootload mode as well as doing a hard reset. no luck. The update utility keeps telling me that it is an invalid update tool, please get a newer update utility. I've tried taking the battery out for a while and from there doing forced bootloader. Still no luck
Any suggestions?

Thanks, I'm gonna download it right now and try it. What is different about this ROM than any of the cooked roms I have already as well as and official one. All of them in past have worked for me without a problem until now.

Well, it sounds like it may have just been a bad casserole you cooked.
But, you could probably even re-flash using your carrier ROM. This one is just a fool-proof way to get you back on your feet. This ROM is just G3/G4 independent and doesn't include a radio, ipl/spl, or extrom.

Nope, just tried flashing that ROM mentioned above, and still the same answer. It keeps telling me that I need to get a new update utility. That is so weird because I never had that problem. I have already tried flashing the official as well with no luck.

I put the phone in bootload mode by pressing and holding the camera button, then resetting by pushing the reset hole which then loads it to a colorful screen which I assume is the bootloader screen. Then I just connect it and try to flash it using one of the ROMS i have. Thats how I did it the past couple of times.
What upgrade utility are you using? You might wanna try the one attached! It is the 'NO_ID' version and up to now it flashed everything! Simply extract the zip file to a folder on your desktop, then copy your nbf file in to it too and run the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
hello
im having the same problem, i just tried it, didnt work for me
Did you CID unlock your phone before trying to flash it? Did you also try to flash it with your shipped ROM again?
My phone also appears to be bricked. It locked at 99%, and after trying the steps indicated in the core2.0 installer, it closed, and I'm having difficulty figuring out the next step. As is, I get ERROR [264] CONNECTION. Is there a way to get the phone functional enough to load an OS? I've been searching these forums for about 30 minutes and haven't found what I'm looking for. There should be a recovery wiki.

First thing you could try is to flash it with your shipped ROM again (the one you had on there originally). If that does not work you might want to search the forum for the LOVE ROM ??? I never tried that one but people say it should worke on any device (G3 /G4).

A mda vario tmobile from germany...

Okay! I'm completely lost!

I just got a Qtek 9100 from a friend.. He said it was an old test version of the device...
I only got the device and the charger.. Now, when i plug it into my PC, it can't recognize the device.. and the firmware is from 08/2005... so I kinda feel obligated to update them..
1. Is there some place where I could retrive some drivers or something for my computer to recognize my device?
2. I checked out the thread to see wether it's Q3 or Q4.. but my IPL is 0.34 and my SPL is also 0.34 (that's it!).. so i have no idea what upgrades to use.
3. Also the keyboard (I'm not talking about the on-screen keyboard.. I mean the one that you pull out..) on the device is swedish (scandinavian) but when i try pressing the button that says like Ä it acts as an english keyboard and a "/" appears... I'm swedish so i'd love if i could get some help fixing that
Thx~ kryX
Since you own the QTEK now you can sign up at the QTEK's homepage and download the latest ROM update for your device (even in swedish) http://www.myqtek.com/
The connection problem might be another one: maybe your friend installed a USER CREATED ROM - you still should be able to enter the boatloader mode!
There are plenty of threads in here about connection problems but finally it depends on your OS and the ROM version used! If you're running VISTA then you can forget flashing your device for the time being ... !
Go to wiki.xda-developers.com and studdy the WIZARD UPGRADE and UNLOCK section. This should get you started!

you need to install Microsoft 'active sync' to get your ppc and pc communicating.
I just like to warn you to make BACKUP of your phone's firmware in case things go wrong. Don't become another 'cry baby' asking for 'urgent help' because the phone got bricked...
Do a search around to see what you need to make a backup and if your phone allows a full backup (must be CID unlocked)
good luck and welcome to forum
cheers

Take a look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Versions - to find out whether it is g3 or g4. then i suggest you start with a vanilla rom, Win 6 Pro 3.0 seems to be good now.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309078. the download link for that is there along with the password

I flashed it with that Win 6 pro thing.. (it was an OS ROM, right?) and now it doesn't boot anymore.. now my bootscreen shows
Wizard DVT
IPL 0.34
SPL 0.34
OS 4.0.0.0
it stays like that for quite a while then the screen goes white and it starts all over again.. should i just assume i flashed it incorrectly? because i dont know if that was a G3 flash or a G4 flash or what ever..
EDIT: wait.. third time the screen went white the bootscreen changed to the new one.. it kinda seems to have started now.. GREAT
You guys must be careful with the new WM6 ROMs since they are packed without IPL/SPL so that they can be used by people with CID locked G4 devices.
That means that people with IPL/SPL bellow 2.x must first upgrade the boot loaders to 2.xx/3.xx otherwise the new ROMs will most probably not work
you need an ipl/spl of 2.xx or higher to flash ANY WM6 rom
from the bootloader (hold down camera button while starting), flash the tmobile 2.26 factory rom to get a proper ipl/spl.

just reading back, if you didn't know the answer to this question (above), you probably were not cid unlocked.
if the battery is dead (you left it on overnight?) you will need to charge it outside of the ppc, then try to get into bootloader, then flash the original operator's rom.
i wouldn't give up on anything that sells used for over £100 on ebay

no it hasn't, (this is a forum, not a help desk) i was just looking at it and trying to decide what, if anything to write, when my email showed another reply.
to be really honest, any question you can think of will already have been asked and answered several times in this forum - you just need to read (use Google to search this site). And that doesn't even cover the questions which you will want to ask when you begin to realize what your wizard is capable of
Swedish roms? - absolutely no idea. and so many people here are English speakers and i assume many non English/non Americans use an English language rom anyway
active sync? - try uninstalling and reinstalling, check the options, do they allow usb connections? i find AS sometimes changes options itself

active sync is what should recognize your wizard. if your pc doesn't recognize your ppc, the only reason that I know of is because active sync is not installed or not working - have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

My HD2 is broken (?)

Than few days ago I installed new version of ROM and then the problems started...after every soft reset, ROM "restarted" (every tweak or installed program disappeared nad the phone looks like after installing new ROM) and after few resets it is stucked on the first screen (with numbers of radio etc.) and wont move further.

I know it's a pain, but have you tried a hard reset since this started? If not, give that a go. If you're still having problems then I'd recommend not using the ROM that you currently have.

Wish I could, but all I can see is only white logging screen...phone doesnt react at all.
You can flash from the memory card without the need to start the device up and connect to a PC. That's what he's suggesting. I don't know how to do this myself, having only done it via ActiveSync, so I can't tell you how to do it. I do know that you put a ROM image in the root of your storage card and reboot the device, but there's more to it than that. Have a look in the ROM forum for more advice (unless someone can help you here, of course).

can you still get in to the bootloader, turn the phone on while holding volume down, get the 3 coloured screen, you can do the ROM and Radio from there

you dont have to have a booted phone to flash roms over usb. Just boot to bootloader and wait for the 'serial' to change to 'usb' then run your flash.

From the thread for your rom:

*This ROM require at least radio v2.07. v208 is highly recommended.

There would be a radio on your device from your original rom, it's probably just the wrong version. As stated, for that rom you require either the 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio. Follow the link in my signature and flash the radio exactly the same way as you flashed your rom.
OKay i got all that but i cant flash it because the phone is stuck at the white htc boot screen so the customRuu doesnt recognize it.
what do i do now? im stumped.. is there a manual hard reset key press or something?
EDIT: I figured out how to get into bootloader and im now putting the right radio on it, lets see if this works

Just pot your phone in bootloader mode by reseting while presing volume down button and after that flash the proper radio.

I sugest you to flash back your original rom by sd card and restart the whole proces once again by flashing the radio first and after that the desired rom.
By flashing the original rom trought sd card metod you will have to reinstall HSPL.

okay thanks will try that !

One more advice...before flashing anything read as much as you can and ask as many questions there will be someone to answer no mather how silly( no offence) is the question.

Me

a Rom Canot Work Without Radio Thats Why wont get thrue
try this and see....
try to hold both up/dowm volume keys and thn hold power button.
one message will appear tht,if u want to restore ur phone or not, press the upper volume button, ur phone will restore on its original settings.......try it out.....
mine got stuck on the white screen last week... i removed the SD card, restarted it again and then it worked...then i retried with the sd card and it was ok... don't know why
i have nothing to say apart from
Jeez!!!

Is this called Bricked?

Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.
The "little button" is the same as pulling the battery.....a soft reset.
You should try a hard reset, and failing that a fresh flash.

thank you, now when you do that, does it reset the phone to factory settings?
or keep those as I set them?
it will set the phone to factory settings.
Sounds like you're using stock. Stock never boded well with me either, so maybe you should try a custom rom. Search on the how to's, you'll learn something.

Been using the stock ROM on my old phone for a while never had any one of the many problems that ppl have listed on this forum, but I cracked the screen and got a new one, and just ran into that problem.
Took the battery off and let it sit for a few, put it back in and now it loads and works, just odd, how that happen, haven't put my card back in yet but well test again hopefully it wont do it again.
don't mean to hijack but im facing the same problem
but mine is a world wide hd2. it freezes on the HTC screen
when i try flashing a rom from the bootloader (using RUU), it always gives me a image corrupted error message.
i also can't flash a new radio. error 00018003 occurs when trying to flash a new radio.
currently i have ENERGY rom loaded into it but won't start. stuck on the NRG loading screen

Have you had your HD2 flashed with HSPL?
K so its happening more and more now, some times it gets to the Launching HTC Sense part of the boot and then shuts off and tries to reboot.
Any one seen this before or know a fix?
Or just doomed?

the original HD2 came with defected sdcards so if your using the one it came with then that's why it might freeze...
custom roms are better at using the phones resources... just cuz the old one worked fine with stock doesn't mean this one would

No using a diff 16 gig sd card, and even when i take it out it still does it,
The problem with the custom roms, I dont like how most of them look and dont want to spend all the time installing diff ones to see if I like it or not, dont have the knowledge or the time for it.
I am fine with the standard HTC sense, just want to figure out why this one keeps crashing on load, what the conflict is.

maybe u can download the TMobile HD2 rom from their website. you need to put in your IMEI to download. after that, from what i did with my tmous before, was enter bootloader then run the utility and it should work perfectly.
if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

Bricked is when you flash the wrong radio, like I did, and your power button will not work. Phone will not power up at all.
