I've been reading on the upgrade to 6.1 with various cooked rom, and decided to go with Tessa 4.5. Since it is required to go with IPL 3.10/SPL 3.10, i went from original ROM and upgrade one step at a time, to 1.17, 2.26 and 2.28, and 3.10 (both IPL and SPL). Then I noticed after 3.10, i cannot boot up. This is before I upgrade to Tessa, just upgrading IPL/SPL.
When in 2.26, everytime upgrade completed, reboot went fine. But after 3.10, it went wrong. I tried to fix it with upgrading IPL only to 3.14.
It still wont boot up after power down.
So I downgrade to IPL/SPL 2.28. The SPL went down, but IPL stays at 3.14, and the problem continues. I can upgrade to Onyx, but everytime I power down, i have to flash with IPL/SPL 2.28 to make the ELF boot up. When I get to the OS, i check my battery is 0%.
Is IPL 3.14 the culprit? If yes, how do I downgrade it? using elf-uspl and/or Rom Utility gives same result: IPL stays at 3.14.
Help?
Update:
i was able to flash with elf-uspl using ipl/spl 2.27/2.28.
Now i have onyx junior with the ipl/spl combination above.
But it is still having problem when I turned off the device. It won't go pass smart mobility, instead it just shut down again. I have to take out the battery, put it back in, then reflash with rom utility (with any spl/ipl below 3.0) then it would restart and go pass smart mobility and enter the OS.
What gives?
Update2:
After trying to downgrade and upgrade, I use the original HTC Touch ROM, Windows 6.0. Still the problem appear. So I decided to go with elf-uspl and get the SPL back to 1.11000 (which was the initial working setup). Then I flashed the IPL to 1.17002.
Now, with IPL 1.17002 and SPL 1.1100, everything went back to normal.
Is this mean I cannot use SPL above my initial setting? Obviously the newer cooked rom won't accept these number, as it needs to have 3.10 minimum?

I finally settled with IPL/SPL 1.19 since this is the only setting that would still boot to OS after I Power Off the device. Now looking for Win 6.1 coked rom that would accept these IPL/SPL setting...

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!

You can tried to reload your last ROM (WM6), for this :
-Start in bootloader mode ("Voice Command" + "Power" + Reset with Stylus)
-Start a new upgrade Rom (With the last ROM)
It's works ?
If yes, you can upgrade Radio and SPL.
i did that but the flash process stopped at 3% (i think CID locking problem). i tried USPL but the process could not be done. i also dont have my previous ROM but i noted the previous numbers which are
IPL 1.14.0001
SPL 1.14.0000
GSM 2.67.90
OS 1.14.0.0
tell me what to do now??
i dont have my previous ROM. nor i know what were the factory provided ROM
please help
You can :
-Flash your original ROM (Operator and langage)
-USPL and 1.11.cmon (verify that your phone is USPL before another action)
-Upgrade your new ROM.
i dont have the original ROM.
the phone is stuck at boot page. USPL not working.
what to do now
You must to download a rom from the Same Operator and same location.
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

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...
Please help me!

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.
Hello there xda community,
I have a problem regarding my HTC Blackstone. I have been flashing lots of ROMs and I know how it works. Once I decided to test an Android build for it by flashing a <1.56 Olinex SPL and I did downgrade it. But then I can`t flash it back to HSPL 1.56 Olinex, it gets stuck on 0%. I have tried the SSPL and it did succeed, so I continued my test. Did the Task 29 but it got stuck on 0% again when I tried the Task 32. I got into bootloader to see if 1.56 Olinex SPL was still installed on my phone but suddenly it changed to 1.15.0000 SPL stock. Now I don`t have WM installed, due to Task 29, I have the stock SPL on which I can` install the stock ROM for my HTC. I tried flashing a ROM with the SD card, but when it gets into the bootloader it gets stuck on the "Loading..." screen. I also tried the USPL GUI by crackwhore but it can`t detect the drivers even though I installed the drivers provided with the USPL GUI. Please, I am desperate in trying to fix this, help me out!
Same problem here, can't flash anything, neighter stock ROM, it goes to 4% and gives me Invalid vendor ID error.
I have SPL 1.56
Tried everything but no luck.
(flashed a new ROM,did a task29 after and from 1.56 Olinex SPL went to 1.56. I can't HSPL, USPL, flash back original ROM or any other Custom ROM, neighter downgrade SPL)
Hello,
there are a lot of similar topic but none of them answered my question.
General situation looks like this:
after flashing with MAGLDR device is stuck on htc splash screen and doesn't respond to any button
What was already done:
- initially, device had factory 3.14.x WWE ROM with 2.15.50.14 radio. SPL was changed with DFT tool to HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR was flashed with no problems (tried it few times)
Since that didn't worked, this is what I did:
- I recall reading that if someone has 3.14.x ROM then he/she must downgrade to ROM with 1.66.x or 1.72.xx. So I did that with factory ROM, (what struct me is that the SPL wasn't changed), flashed 2.15.50.14 radio, tried MAGLDR 1.13 once again. That didn't work
- since, SPL wasn't changed with official ROM I thought this is the issue here, so I've change it to SPL 3.03 back again and flashed 1.66.x official ROM. Flash procedure did change to SPL 1.42. I changed it to 2.08HSPL with DMT tool once again, 2.15.50.14 radio was flashed, then MAGLDR. It also gets stuck on splash screen.
- Next I've read that something called Task29 will probably fix my issue. So.. I've flashed with original 3.14.x ROM and then went with the process once again but I've run Task29 tool between changing SPL to HSPL 2.08 and flashing MAGLDR. That didn't work either
Additional observations:
- I've changed HSPL 2.08 to SPL 2.08, after that running any flash procedure (MAGLDR or official ROM), will effect with 0% progress
- changing to SPL 3.03 will cure above (at least for official ROM)
- in RUU tool the previous version is never seen (on the screen when you confirm update)
Every procedure was done according to newbie guides available on this forum, I've experience with flashing other OS on couple of HD2 devices, but that is the first one that gives me a hard time.
Any suggestion what I should do next?
forget about continually flashing various stock roms, its not necessary.
forget what's gone before, do this and report back.
Phone into bootloader
connect usb, When 'serial' becomes 'usb' continue.
run hspl4 and choose 2.08.hspl
when it completes go immediately back into bootloader
flash magldr
straight back into bootloader
flash radio 2.15.50
let the phone restart.
report back.

if what the friend above suggested doesnt work, then give us the details about your device. i have a Tmous and im in Europe and went through hell until i got it right...if you do it then flashing the rom you want is a piece of cake!

Did that, phone had initially SPL 1.42 and 1.66.x ROM. I didn't let him boot between steps, just went to bootloader each time... and I'm still stuck at splash screen with no response to any key.

that behavour is expected when either spl ISN'T 2.08.hspl and/or radio isn't correct. The only other reason for magldr not showing up must be a faulty device.
Well... I can flash it with every HTC official ROM, and it works, calls can be made, wifi works fine, no spontaneous reboots or freezes...
Made two other observations:
1. On the device that is stuck on splash screen there is an additional bar in boot loader saying "Security unlocked", just like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501745
2. I've started to look at different boot loader screens across the net, and it seems that majority of them has HX-BC (mine has different) version after the board PB81100 name. I've also compared bootloader screen after changing SPL to HSPL 2.08 on two different devices. The values before and after CotullaHSPL were different.
What should I do now? Searching for a method to remove that "Security unlocked" string or give up since the version of my board won't be able to run MAGLDR?
My device is not TMOUS, it is 512MB device.
Edit: after some research I think that my device has NAND-Flash ROM from Samsung not Hynix, so different flash algorithm should be used. I'm now going for a low-level research. If that is the case, than I think MAGLDR needs version 1.14 ... will report later.
