Please Help Me Out here~~ Tyvm
p.s: I can still boot the phone to bootloader 3 Color Screen

please help me

Your device is okay. You can already proceed to flashing any ROM that is desgined for SPL 1.2. If you want just a good looking ROM, you might want to try PK3.0 ROM. If you want WM6.1, try irus ROM.
If I'm you, I'll skip any rom that uses SPL3.5 for the time being until you're sure there is a mean to come back to SPL 1.2. This mean you should skip AP4.0 for the time being.
To flash one of the SPL1.2 based ROM, remove your storage cards and SIM cards, and ensure your battery is close to full. Then get into Bootloader mode (by pressing down the Camera and poke into the reset hole - hold it down for a good few seconds until you see the tr-colored screen). Then connect your cable until you see USB on the device screen. Then on your PC, start the RomUpdateUtility program and follow the instruction on the PC.
Good luck.

Thx, man! U Rock!!
Just flash the phone with PK3.0 Rom~

P4350 quite dead after USPL'ing

Hi,
I tried to USPL my P4350 (SPL & IPL 4.xx.xxxx) in order to update to WM6.1, using Herald-USPL-Beta3. Everything went OK until ROMUpdateUtility kicked in, and gave me an error: FILE IN USE.
So I started the ROMUpdateUtility again, with the screen still blank, and suddenly the P4350 turned off. I'm 100% sure the battery was at least 90% full during USPL'ing, so why it turned off; I have no idea.
Problem is: I can't power up the device anymore. No LED's, even when attaching it to the power adapter.
Any tips on how to fix this, or is it fair to say my device is now really DEAD?
Thanks!

Some suggestions of a Junior Member.
1st. Try a soft reset. Didn't work? Go to Step 2
2nd. Try a hard reset. Didn't work? Go to Step 3
3rd. Pull the battery off. Put it again. Try to turn it on. Didn't work? Go to Step 4
4rd. Wait replies from advanced user. End.

Thank you for replying
However none of the options you mentioned worked out.
I'm stuck waiting for some expert guidance here

Hi, it's been a while, but today I finally made -sure hope so- some progress..
I purchased a HTC Touch HD two weeks ago, from which I plugged in the power adaptor to see what my P4350 would do. (specs are the same btw as the P4350 power adaptor; output 5V, 1A) On this attempt however, the left LED on the front of the device turned RED for about 5 seconds before turning off again. I plugged in the adaptor again, and it lit up RED again. However, the device did not respond to an attempt to power it up.
What does this mean? Is it not dead after all?
Any tips on what to do?
Thanks again.

Wow man, I'm getting somewhere now!
I got the device powered on holding the RESET+POWER+CAMERA and it now hangs on the IPL + SPL screen.
What is very strange is the following:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
as to where these were above 4.xx.xxxx before I did the USPL'ing. I am a 100% sure.. (not so sure anymore now to be honest.. )
The screen displays USB in the left bottom corner, because it is connected to the USB power supply.
I'm afraid to turn it off because it might not turn on again...
Where do I go from here?

Well, I finally got my P4350 to work again
I noticed I was able to start into bootloader mode using CAMERA+RESET, unlike previous attempts to do so. I don't know what caused the device to boot after 6 weeks, but I guess attaching the Touch HD power adapter did the trick.
At first I followed the instructions at topic "Goldcard for Herald", but somehow I wasn't able to make the MicroSD card bootable using my HTC Touch HD for the formatting.
Instead I went to page 5 of the topic and discovered this comment by leptir79, who stated the creation of the Goldcard could easily be done from a DOS-prompt in Windows, with the MicroSD card in the SD-cardreader on a PC or notebook. And this is what did the trick for me:
- I put the SD-card in my notebook cardreader (drive W: ), opened a DOS-prompt, and ran the following command to format the SD-card with the correct priviliges: FORMAT w: /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
- After that I copied heradiag.nbh to the blank MicroSD card to see if my P4350 would boot from the MicroSD card. And it did. From this tool I ran some diagnostics tools to see whether my device was fully functioning, and I got no errors. I noticed that among the diagnostics tools there was a tool to Flash the device with a new ROM
- So I downloaded HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe, extracted RUU_signed.nbh to the root of my MicroSD card (along with heradiag.nbh), and renamed RUU_signed.nbh to heraimg.nbh.
- I started the P4350 into bootloader mode, booting from the MicroSD card. Heradiag.nbh booted up, and I chose to use the Flash ROM utility that came with heradiag. The device automatically found heraimg.nbh, and started the flashing procedure for my device. After confirming, the flashing started.
After a few minutes my P4350 rebooted, and my device is now running Windows Mobile 6.0. Everything seems to work just fine now.
So, if you don't have a second (working) WM device, but do have an cardreader on your PC or notebook, this really is the best option to create the Goldcard imho.. (even if you do have another WM-phone, really, try this procedure first before installing ActivePerl and all the perl-scripts)
Thanks everyone for all the procedures and help. You all did a great job, but most credits in this case go out to leptir79 who gave me the breakthrough in getting my -left for dead- device to work again.

This is a gold trick thats what i'm waiting for...
I have my heralds bricked since 2 months ago... Yup....really bricked...means cant do bootloader mode or hard reseting on device...
And already sent it to the HTC care center, and they ask for mainboard replacing...which is too expensive for me...400US...later cancelling it...
Searching out this forum, and didn't find a solution to reprogramming OMAP via JTAG...then my research suspended...
Untill I found this...
All I need...just to enter to the bootloader...powering up the brick
Can't wait to try this method @home...ASAP...
For now...just looking for 5V, 1A Charger first....
TIA frummel...

Fully Dead Elf after flashing ONYX

I flashed my htc elf (t-mobile touch) with onyx ultimate, just over halway it froze, then my whole pc froze and crashed, the phone turned off and i havent been able to get it on since, no lights, no screen, nothing
PLEASE HELP
I have tried:
power button
soft reset
hard reset
bootloader mode
plugging it into my pc and my mac to charge it but still no power
tried plugging it into my pc without the battery to see if the orange light comes on
Any Ideas??

I'm not exactly an expert but I'd have thought attempting to flashing a ROM shouldn't break its power supply. It doesn't add up. You mention the orange light, but does it actually come on or not?
I'll assume you flashed a USPL or you probably wouldn't be getting past 3% in the first place lol.

strange one
yea, it was all ready to be flashed, it was previously on a geniric htc rom that i put on it.
there is no orange light at all, no nothing, i cant seam to work it out, i mate has the same phone and im gonna try his charger and battery when i see him tomorrow but i still cant see how flashing it would affect the power, unless the device is blank now and it doesnt even know what the buttons do e.g the power button is not assigned to do anything.

try with another fully charged battery... and ELF/ELFin Golcard method, with a suitable flash file (like a Original one)
Just my 2 cents...

Try put the battery with the camera button pressed..

i have had the same problem
pres start button and fotos together
will appear 4 colors and ipl ..... and spl ........
if its appear: ipl 2....... and spl 1.11.000 you must upgrade your spl

Help.
I have a Wizard G4 and I tried to install a WM6.5 ROM (TechTeamup Mega Wizard rom) from the default WM5. I did not put in the hard-spl (as I now read) before I tried to flash. Now when it boots, I go strait to the flash screen (tri-color) screen. I tried ot run the hard-spl-G4 and it says it cannot find a device. I have tried to re-flash back to WM5 ROMs that I have found, however it says it cannont complete "ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY, which makes me belive I need a G4 Wizard ROM that is a full (not upgrade). What steps should I take now to revert back to a WM5 so I can re-try the "unlock" hard-spl proceedure to make the phone WM6 compatible?
Anyone have any suggestions?
IPL 2.28.0001
SPL 2.28.0001

Download the original ship ROM for your phone.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the Camera key, now insert the USB cable, Keep holding the camera key until you get the boot loader screen.
Now run the ROM update to flash back to WM5.

[Q]My P3450 Totally Dead After downgrade to its original dumpedROM

Hi,
I really need help seriously
Today I upgraded my P3450 to Onnyx Ultimate 4.8 and it was successfull.
Then I think again, I want to go back to original shipped ROM that I've backup before.
I do as mentioned on this page :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
I used the complete backup to restore the ROM. ( I made 2 backup files, first only OS and Ext ROM, 2nd All of them).
It run success until 100%, then the device reset, and after that it never power ON again.
What should I do?
Please, HELP, it is about one week I bought this PDA (
Thanks
Please Note the condition for the device :
1. With the battery inside, I plug in the charger, the orange light never ON. Completely dead.
2. There's no problem with the battery. I have friend who has ELF , I put my battery on his ELF, his ELF run normally.

Try removing battery than boot your phone in bootloader.
If it starts try flashing a shipped rom.

thanks for your reply, I've tried but nothing happened.
What was my mistake?
Before I upgraded, I've dumped my ROM. using the utilities as mentioned here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
I made two backup :
* One backup with the OS and ExtROM only (for others to use)
* And another backup with everything included (for yourself only, for warranty or selling purposes).
After that, seems everything to be Okay, and then I did as mentioned in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
and then I flash Onyx Ultimate 4.8. And, I did it!!!
But then, when the device reboot, I saw a thin horisontal line on the top of the LCD. As I worried about my device, then I decided to go back to original ROM.
I did again this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
this is to flash any SPL: either update to hardspl this way or flash another spl over hardspl. (copied from other post)
0. make sure your device is synced to activesync!!
1. Run the elf-uspl.exe from ELF_USPL_2.26.0000.zip
2. Watch Screen and Press Enter When Asked.
3. Screen should Jump to White on Phone and on PC Flashing Loading Bar will Show.
4. Stuck in Black Ducky Loading Screen?, check Active Sync Connection or Do a hard reset on Phone first. But be sure to do the last Actual Flashing in White Screen. Sometimes this needs a few tries to go through white screen.
5. Done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I overwrite the .nbh file with the Complete ROM that I have dumped before.
Everything seems to be Okay, it uploaded 100%, then the disaster happened !!!!
The device went off, and it never get on again. Until now. I've tried many ways to make it On :
1. Remove the battery, and then plug it again, turn the power ON, and it still go off.
2. Remove the battery, plug in charger with no battery, try to power ON, still off.
3 Remove the battery, plug in the charger with no battery, push the camera button and reset button on the same time, nothing happened.
Please help me, I really frustated here What was my activity that could cause a damage to my Elf?
I've tried a repair man and he said that there's no J-Tag to turn on my P3450, I must change the machine to the new one....

Hi, I had same problem the other day just I could not power up my device after down grading, my device just rejected to work and went dead.
So I made the following steps then I was able to get it work in bootloader option only:
- Take the battry out
- Take the sim card out
- Take the memory card out
- wait for 1 to 3 minutes
- replace the battry back
- hold on the camera botton then press the power botton and hold it.
if it did not work, bring the battery out then replace it back then try press
the camera botton and press the power botton while keep on clicking the
camer botton, it should come to bootloader status. Wish you good luck.

Hi..thanks for your answer. I've done it but nothing happened. I really start to worry that my device really..really death.
When you're in that condition, did you plug the charger to the PDA while the battery still on it? Was the LED light up, green or orange? My problem is, there's no light up at all...no response

Could you make what happened clearer?
Did you flash an entire NBH image, SPL & IPL included, while using HardSPL?
Trying to replace HardSPL with a stock SPL has caused issues before.
HardSPL cannot be simply overwrited by a stock SPL.
Check out this thread to remove HSPL.

I think you're right on this one : Did you flash an entire NBH image, SPL & IPL included, while using HardSPL?
I thought I wanted to get back to factory default by flashing the complete NBH file, which include :OS, Ext. ROM, Radio, Splash, SPL, and IPL H3.
I run the "elf-uspl.exe" in the folder named "USPL_2.28.0000 with IPL_2.27", which I downloaded from this thread : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
(it was extracted from TOOLS).
after that I uploaded the complete ROM that I have backed up before. Actually I made two backups, one complete, the other only OS & Ext ROM.
guess my mistake is I restore the complete one.
If my device can not power ON at all (even when I plug in the charger, the light indicator not ON), can I still repair this?

htc will nt accept it ..but u can try with service centers..

There's one new fact I just found out today.
I have a friend with the same ELF as mine.
When I put my battery on his ELF, his ELF also can not power ON. But I still can charge my battery on his ELF and it shows 0% !!!!
I firmly believe that yesterday when I downgraded my ELF from Onnyx to its backup original ROM, the battery is still more than 90%, as I've checked it before.
Is it possible that teh conflict of Hard SPL and my original backup ROM drain the battery so fast? I am now holding my friend's battery, but I scare to put it on my ELF as I don't want to damage his battery, worry that there's some short circuit.
The other problem :
1. When I put my battery on my friend's ELF and plug in the charger, the light indicator shows orange light, sign that it is being charged.
2. When I put my battery on my friend's ELF and plug in the charger, the light indicator shows nothing, it is definitely OFF.
Any suggestion for my case?

Charge your battery in your friend's phone and try it in your phone ... and tell us....

I'm sorry if I'm not getting it right.. but you are contradicting yourself..
I mean when you put your battery in your friend's elf and plug in the charger.. does the indicator show orange light or not???!!

Yes, it is charged and shows orange light on my friend's ELF.
But when I put on mine, the light doesn't turn ON at all. Seems that mine can not charge the battery.
I've tried this way :
1. removed the battery and left the device alone for a few hours - no luck
2. charged the battery using a wall charger - no luck
3. removed sd card and sim card and tried the alternative reset at this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Elf_Resets using a wall charger. device booted into tricolor mode.
4. did the same alternative reset with a usb charger. once the device was in tricolor mode, flashed a cooked rom.
But unfortunately, there's nothing happened

sorry if i'm asking too many questions but what does the tricolor boot screen show?? (IPL/SPL) cause if the SPL is x.xx.cmon .. then HardSPL is still there and you would (probably) be able to flash another ROM..
is there a small "RUU" written the top write corner of the screen?? (written in white)

NOP, I am glad if somebody ask, means that there's someone who watching my thread.
The problem is, my Touch is not ON at all. totally dead. No light indicator, no power ON, just dead.
updated :
I have charged my battery until full 100%.
I did put on my device, holding the camera button while power ON, and still nothing happened. just dead.

did u try a hard reset ?? you can do it by holding the Call & End buttons and reseting with the stylus.. a confirmation msg will appear press the OK button (the large one in the middle)..
hope that will do you any good :S

I did hard reset, many times, but still can not work
I almost desperate thinking my dead ELF need some miraculuous to make it ON

hey bro i sent you my e-mail in a private msg so we can try solving this together in a better way..

Did you at least read the sticky thread entitled "Unbricker"??
If you cannot get to bootloader it usually means your battery is dead... or the device is fried. Try charging it on the wall charger for at least 20 minutes again.

only soln is to replace the entire motherboard
i did the same thing to my friend's mobile and it got totally dead
then i read that never to reinstall the original rom n never to downgrade your spl or roms
only soln is to get it repaired or replaced if under warranty by htc no one in the market can help u even htc will replace it they wont b able to boot it up hence if under waranty ur board will b changed for free
else buy a new one simple buddy ....
