i have rogers htc touch, after trying unlocking using ELF USPL , when i power on only see HTC Logo and then it goes off, i try loading new rom but still same problem . Please help
What is your IPL and SPL?
IPL is 2.21.0002
and
SPL 1.11.0000
I had the same problem...took me 3 hours to figure it out..
1. on Bootloader, re-install a ROM that works (go back to WM6 or WM6.1)
2. when it working, install USLP 1.11
3. DO NOT RESET AFTER...
4. install USLP 3.14
5. then you can install any WM6.5 ROM
For some reasons, the Rogers Touch has some difficulties to upgrade directly, even if it's unlocked...
Good luck

Thats a great tip to the community, I will refer back to your guide if I met with anyone with troubles using Rogers.
...thanks...
But, after reading a lot yesterday, seems that the USLP 3.14 is a ''battery eater''...
I'm testing it now..I will see in a couple of days if it is the case!
So far, it looks like it's using approx 2% of the battery per hour...
Definitely, you should always use 3.10.
I had a bad experience with 3.14, it takes up half of my battery after 5 hours of almost no usage.
i'm confused. .... i also have a rogers htc touch as well and i want to flash a custom rom onto it.
(my IPL: 2.21.0002 and SPL: 2.21.0000)
First, i know it has to be CID unlocked... using >> Elf 1.11 USPL ?
Can i use HARDspl ?? What is the difference between USPL and Hard uspl ??
Because i read something about ..... " HardSPL : This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. "
After a CID unlock and soft reset, the phone will reboot into the old ROM (Rogers, in my case) if i have not began flashing a new rom ??
Some advice please... thanks!
Use the guide written on 4th post.
Its located on this thread
Cheers.

Always post vital data of the phone,untill it's not known which device you have,G3 or G4,it's hard to provide with any help.Post IPL SPL of your device.
If it's a G3 then its CID locked,you have not followed the correct unlocking procedure.Read the Guide and sticky by Dr.Puttingham and follow it correctly to CID unlock the phone.
If it's a G4,then you cannot straight away flash any Rom to it,to upgrade follow the method as Sticky 'SoftSPL or HardSPL' by equinox in G4 forum.
What error it gives while usung WST 4.2 Tool ?
Cheers !
i have a g3, and the ipl: 1.01 (becuase i downgraded because the instructions told me to) SPL : 2.16
and the wst tool give me a "in the rexx script named : at line number :2840"
and is there a way i can change me ipl back to 2.16? cause nothing is working for me =/
thank you for your response

ok, you got ipl 1.01 cuz you downgraded with Button's Rom 1.05 but your spl remained unchanged 2.16,its nothing to worry about,it sometimes take a little more tries to downgrade spl to 1.01,flash the Button's Rom 1.05 a couple of more times to make both ipl/spl 1.xx,only then you can CID unlock the phone with lokiwiz 02b.Follow the guide for downgrading and unlocking at the below link and do the method correct.Your phone is still CID locked,untill you get your phone CID unlocked you can not upgrade to any wm6 Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
But if you want to go back to your original wm5 Official k-jam Rom and have ipl/spl 2.16,then Download official k-jam Rom 'K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip' from official website of i-mate k-jam or from the following link below:-
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
1.unzip the Rom zipfile,get your phone into bootloaders screen (multicolored screen)by pressing and holding down the camera button and the Power ON button together,the phone will start in bootloaders(multicolored screen) it'll show you ipl 1.01/spl 2.16
2.when in bootloaders,connect your phone with pc via usb cable, a small usb written will appear at the bottom of the multicolored screen of your phone.confirm it.
3.open the unzipped folder of the downloaded Rom,run the RUU icon in it(double click Ruu.exe)
4. follow the instructions and flash the Rom,after completion,your phone will restart and start working.
Good luck !
thank you sooo soo much, im gonna try it again right now
i guess my phones SPL will not change. i must of flashed the ROM with buttons 1.05 about10 times but it still wont change .... oh well im just gonna go back to the stock rom my kjam is WEIRD haha

Hi i have 2 part question my phone is an htc 8125 cingular sim card unlocked phone it has windows mobile 5 on it and i have the IPL 1.05, SPL.3.08 on it.
I did this but installing the IPL_SPL_3.08 rom. Anyways Im trying to get it back to IPL 1.05, and SPL 1.05 by installing the button rom and i seen the beer screen and it loads up to windows mobile 5 but keeps staying at IPL 1.05, and SPL 3.08 is there away to get it back to 1.05,1.05. I tried a few methods but aint working. Would keep reflashing a few times with the button roms get it back to 1.05,1.05. I tried with, newromupdateutility_wizard_noid. and didnt work i tried with rom update and didnt work. When a rom loads up and gets stuck at 99% and then i get a message with activesync saying lost communication error message whats does that mean and it saying try restore.
Also can windows mobile 6 with touch flo install on this phone or no. I was tring to do that with but all i got was it going back to windows mobile 5 and doesnt upgrade to wm6. Do i first need it to get it back to 1.05,1.05 using the button rom then use ,lokiwiz02b to do the unlocking(mind you my phone is all ready sim unlocked). and then flash a t-mobile or cingualr rom and then do the update with a windows mobile6 rom.
Whats a good windows mobile 6 with touch flo that works good on this phone can u maybe post a link
thanks for the help
deleted for inaccurate information
First,you shud have CID unlocked the phone prior to upgrading to 3.08 bootloaders,cuz it becomes very difficult and frustrating to downgrade from 3.08 to 1.xx.Now the only way is to first try to downgrade to 2.xx by flashing the official carrier's rom and when completed downgrade to 1.xx through Button's 1.05.You can only CID unlock the phone,if its 1.xx,which you already know.
Secondly,it'll only upgrade to wm6 if its cid unlocked.Try to flash ipl/spl 3.08 again and make both ipl/spl 3.08 first and then downgrade to 2.xx by flashing the official stock rom,it might work.
Cheers!
I am trying to do the HardSPL upgrade on an orange spv m3100 as per http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26 I have the lates version of WMDC running on windows vist and can sync etc no problem
When i go through the process it shows current image as 1.23.61.4 When i carry on in brings upenter bl.exe on the phone. The phone then goes into the bootloader screen and the WMDC shows disconnected
The programme hows verifying the information on your hermes Then I get error 260 update error cant connect
The current bootloader says.
HERM100
1PL-SSPL by Des
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
Any ideas and help would be grately appreciated
thanks in advance....steve
Plz help
my phone shows following details
SPL-1.09.ds
when i upgrade to HardSPL 2.60, it does upgarde but when after restarting it again shows the same version of SPL
i am now unable to soft reset my phone
and one more problem i am facing is that my phone shows HERM200while before this problem it was HERM100
this problem arose after i tried to downgrade to MFG bootloader
before that i had SPL 2.30
plz help
fcwdadmin, as you have sspl.exe already running (known as soft SPL - 1.09 des) format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32, put the .nbh file of Hard SPL V7 on and rename to hermimg.nbh . Reset to bootloader - hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Follow the prompts. This should put Hard SPL V7 on your phone. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE Soft SPL INSTALLED...
Go to bootloader to check, it should read IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 2.10 oli.
You should now be able to put any rom on from the Hermes section. I recommend using the sd card method for that too.
Cheers...
the bootloader says:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.04
Is that the same thing again ??
Many thanks in advance
No, you don't have Hard SPL V7. I'd suggest going to the upgrade section and downloading the right Hard SPL. Its a sticky at the top.
Hard SPL V7 is the safest SPL to use as it offers a measure of safety that you don't otherwise have, making it at least possible to fix up your os if something goes wrong during a flash.
Read post 1160 on page 116 of the Hard SPL thread to find instructions on how to install it using the sd card method.
If you try to upgrade your os at the moment you stand a greater chance of ending up with a non recoverable brick or, at the very least, an agonizing amount of reading to just recover the os.
Hard SPL WON'T stop things going wrong but it offers a chance of recovery. V7 is the best for the person just interested in flashing roms occasionally (daily) so I'd suggest you get it.
It should read when you finish IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 2.10 oli.
No exceptions...
Cheers...

I've been trying to find help with this everywhere, but none of the steps seem to work for me. Should I consider the phone brick now cuz I can't get Hard SPL v7 on? I was able to go up to 1.40 using CID unlocker, but have been stuck since then.
Can you get the Hermes back into today screen?

No brick. I was able to get to SPL 1.40 and have been able to flash other ROMs. I've just read too many posts that says v7 is the way to go for stability sake.
Download Hard SPL V7 from the Hard SPL thread, go to page 116, post 1160 of the same thread for instructions on how to install using the sd card. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS EXACTLY... One thing wrong & it won't work.
Afterwards, you can use these steps, dropping the steps using SSPL.exe (Soft SPL) to install roms. I find it much easier & safer than using the pc.
Cheers...
Since then voila I install a rom for the first time I have a bug here is a picture to help you understand
It is an image that I have requests in the forum but am in all its images
More information please!
We need more information!
Are you using SPL or USPL?
What ROM did you flash?
Did you perform a hard reset after flashing the ROM?
If you're not sure about the above then read this for SPL:

Edit: And this post makes me a senior member - woohoo!
Here is how I do I install rom always full of the same problem
Olinex I install 1.56 and then the official 1.56 rom 2009
The picture you supply isn't from the official 1.56 HTC ROM because it is running Windows mobile 6.5 (I can tell from the user interface). The official ROM uses Windows Mobile 6.1.
I think you need to make sure that you flashed the correct ROM and then flash the device again. After doing this make sure you hard reset afterwards at least once, preferably twice by holding down both volume buttons while powering the device on.
Also unless you have a CID locked phone that is branded eg. Orange, you shouldn't have to use Olinex HSPL and can download the official ROM from here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
In any case you should confirm which SPL you have by holding down the lower volume button while booting (it will tell you either SPL or HSPL along with version number).
Let us know how you get on...
G
HSPL 156 OliNex and htc is a factory not orange or other
Okay, it sounds like you have successfully installed HSPL, but now you need to try flashing the ROM again (it appears to be the ROM that is causing the graphic corruption in your picture).
Make sure you perform two hard resets after flashing and hopefully this should solve your problem...
Cheers,
G
P.S. Make sure you back everything up prior to re-flashing as you will lose everything in phone memory (SD card should not be affected, but my advise would be to remove it anyway until you have re-flashed).
Hi All,
I need your help in urgent!!!
My ELF GSM infor:
- DeviceID: ELF011000
- CID : DOPOD701
My ELF worked fine before I tried to upgrade its IPL from 1.11.0002 to 2.26.0002, then this problem occur. Because a WM 6.1 ROM requires to have IPL 2.27.0002 and SPL 2.28.0000 so I kept continue upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.27.0002 and 2.28.0000.
I tried to flash my ELF, from bootloader mode, with these ROMs:
- RUU_Elf_DOPOD_chs_1.11.706.1B, this ROM I got from a China forum, it is my device original ROM
- RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.11.707.1B_4.1.13.42_02.93.90_Ship.exe
- RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.17.707.2B_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe
- RUU_Elf_HTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.15.721.3B_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe
- ESSential_4_5
- Onyx_jr_4_4_2_Light
They are all 100% successfull but the IPL/SPL unchanged (2.27.0002 and 2.28.0000) and the device still loop at smart mobility, can not jump into OS.
I did try to use unbricker ROM and goldcard (with original ROM or unbricker ROM inside) but the ELF still stuck at smart mobility...
Please give me your advices, what should I do (except buying a new phone)?
Thanks for your time!
Flash your Official ROM

Dear ELF341,
Thanks for your advice!
When I flash the original ROM, 100% successful, then my ELF loop at the China Mobile screen then reset... I don't have the IPL1.11.0002 and SPL 1.11.0000, the lowest I have is IPL1.17.0002 and SPL1.17.0000. I tried to flash back the 1.17 version, after 100% successful, enter bootloader, the IPL 2.27.0002 and SPL 2.28.0000 still remain!?
Please tell me how to do!

After flash back to official ROM , enter bootloader and check ipl/spl first.
Normally, if you flash ipl/spl (not hard spl) when you flash back to the official ROM the ipl/spl will back to original. S/R - wait for boot to WM if OK then do H/R again. And flash ipl/spl again - enter bootloader and check ipl/spl again (changed or not) if OK after that I recommended you flash Onyx ROM. I used it for long time and no trouble.
Hope, it's can help you.
Dear ELF341,
Thanks for your reply!
After 100% successful loading the original ROM, my ELF restart and loop at the China Mobile screen... When I enter bootloader, the IPL/SPL still remain as IPL 2.27.0002 SPL 2.28.0000
I understand that when we flash the original ROM, the IPL/SPL will roll back to its original version, but mine is so strange?! Does this mean that:
- My ELF's flash ROM is fail or locked at the region for IPL/SPL so that whatever ROM I flash (these ROM contain ILP,SPL,OS,radio..) the IPL/SPL unchaged?
- The original ROM is actually not match to my ELF?? But I already flashed the other ship WWE ROM and also the unbricker ROM, they all loop at smart mobility...

How you flashed ROM ? By RUU (PC) or used microSD card. I recommened you to use RUU (PC) follow step by step. Sometime when I used microSD card to flashed ROM , it's successful but cannot boot, after that I flashed Official ROM by RUU and unlocked the phone again it's back to normal. And your official ROM, you must check with your operator or distributor because in different zone it's use diferent ROM.
Dear ELF341,
I only can flash via PC RUU, I don't succeed in SD card way:
- When I copy the *.nbh file into SD card, then enter bootloader, I just can see the checking SD card content string displayed very fast, then the tri color screen.
- When I create a goldcard and copy *nbh file into it, enter bootloader, the brick ask for 'upgrading SD image', I press power button for it to start download but it hang at 'downloading from SD' with a blank download status bar.
Actually I bought this ELF from a man on my local site, so I don't know where is the distributor...I used the mtty and usb monitor to check for my device infor, then search internet for my original ROM, I only can find in a China forum that match my deviceID/CID....
For my case, I really don't know why I can not change its IPL/SPL version? Please help me!!!
Thanks for your time!
well u hav to rename the nbh file to ELF0IMG for SD card flashing to work.
