Hi all,
I have just received a Touch HD (purchased in china) and it has a China Mobile shell software and it runs Win Mobile 6.5 (CE OS 5.2.21725).
I have NO Touchflo 3d, is there any way to flash this phone with another ROM?
Am i wrong to assume that the hardware should be identical to all other Touch HD's? The Phone itself is still full on HTC branding and the specs are all identical.
Please help if anyone can.
MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Cheers,
Pekingman.
If it is in fact a 100% blackstone device then just follow the stickies in the rom section for guides how to flash it perfectly. Be careful as there are plenty of fake devices out from Asia, but it sounds like you have checked quite thoroughly already.
thanks verymuch stuntdouble, i shall proceed with the flash....

I have read many posts here. Some have the same problem as I do. I have a well chinese cloned Elf0100. It has the HTC logo and everything but no name. It runs WM 6.0 PRO. Well I wanted to share with everyone who has this clone looking for answers. I have found the website to the manufacture/seller: DX
The reason why I joined this forum was to find out how I could flas my rom to WM 6.1. I never get past the 15% mark when using the uspl tool. When looking at this site, they have a image to download to upgrade the rom. And they made mention of someone maybe being able to alter it to WM 6.1. Any help would be great.
I also have one of these chinese HTC Touch knockoffs on my bookshelf. Never used it because I have an original HTC Touch, but would be great to be able to use this one too.
DX - Dealextreme - re-seller. I believe you cannot flash any of the ROMs to the clone.
These phones can be flashed. It's just not the same hardware spec as HTC. The software is stored at other locations - bricking the device if you try to flash an official HTC firmware onto it. We just need to customize the correct firmware.
so we can`t update it at all ?
is there a way to fix a briked device like with the original htc or it is bricked forever?

You have the HTC Elfin and there is no official WM 6.1 update available for your device and probably wont ever be one. On the HTC Website it shows the WM 6.1 update but probably says not available for your device when you try to install it. This is because the linked it to Elf by accident and fixed the problem in order to avoid people downloading to elf or elfin and bricking their devices. The WM 6.1 official ROM update is for the HTC touch Vogue. You can search this site; however, for custom cooked ROM's for the Elfin that has WM 6.1. Make sure you do plenty of reading and studying on how to flash a custom cooked ROM to your device and you will have to make sure that your device is unlocked. I am sorry I cannot help you more than this since I don't know much about flashing custom ROM's since I myself have not done it yet to my Elfin. There is lots of information available on this site though and several ROM's available for the Elfin.
Start by reading through the WIKI here to begin learning

Do you have the HTC OPAL otherwise known as the VIVA
You said "Stops the viva"? If you have the VIVA and not the Elfin stop flashing roms for Elfin to your device.
OPAL / VIVA look similar to Vogue and Elf and Elfin but is a different device
See links here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Opal
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=442
If you have the Opal/Viva - you need to post in that forum to try to get some help. You may have done a very bad thing flashing an elf or elfin ROM to the device if you do in fact have the VIVA.
You really need to do lots of reading. Make sure you know which device you do have, then proceed.
VIVA though is suppose to already have WM 6.1 so I am hoping I am wrong in this assumption for your sake.

I think he means he 's frustrated the viva was launched after he bought his elfin. There should be a dot after "stops" . Beside that your advice was very sound

Why are you giving this warning? I haven't upgraded to a custom ROM myself yet; however, have read that there are many members who are very happy with their custom ROM's and WM 6.1
Do you have a valid reason for this warning or is it just your personal choice / preference.
From what I have been reading, choosing to upgrade ROM is personal choice and one that you choose to do at your own risk and or benefits all depending on what your needs are. The reason I have not upgraded is that I have not yet felt that I needed to. I am very happy with my stock WM 6.0 ROM and the performance of my device. This is the only reason I havn't upgraded.
What are your reasons? It is not my intention to discredit you or attack you. I am legitimately curious as to what your reasons for this statement are.

Hi!!
Just bought my first windows mobile, htc touch hd, and I want to flash WM 6.5 on it.... I have several questions:
Is it safe to do that? or should I be worried about some complications?
what kind of knowlege I should have to do that? or does it as simple as having a new windows operating system on my laptop?
where can I find a step by step clear, simple english, instructions how to do that?
Is it different from the upcoming official windows mobile 6.5? am I going to be able to download applicatons from the upcoming offical windows mobile marketplace?
Thank you
Ayad
hello Ayad! and welcome to the HD forum. flashing is safe as long as you know and follow all the steps to prepare your device for flashing and then flash a ROM of your choice . click the links in my signature to get more info on flashing your HD with a WM 6.5 rom (especially the Dummies guide). next read the first post in the WM 6.5 ROM threads (in the ROM Development forum) to understand what each ROM includes, and finally, scan the recent posts in the ROM threads to get a feel for user experiences. it will take some time on your part, but you will be better prepared to flash your device now and in the future. take your time, be patient and you'll be successful! fyi, you will continue to get advice like mine because your questions have already been asked and answered. good luck and have fun!
Hello guys.
I have purchased a HTC clone also known as the HTY 3238 Model.
Basically as far as I am aware this is pretty much a clone of the 3232 Official design.
Now I have seen WM6.5 ROMS on this site for the Official 3232 model but I was wondering if anyone has successfuly put WM6.5 on the HTY 3238 Cloned model ?
Thanks very much.
Oh and if it is indeed possible could someone provide some links to what I will need/guides.
I have had a look round and I think I have found what I need but I just want to be sure just so that I dont brick my phone lol.
Btw sorry for the double post. I could not edit my post.
Thanks again.
I bought mine with 6.5. . .

While there is info about various 6.5 ROMs in that thread BUT the general feeling there is that Clones cannot flash from 6.1 to 6.5. I know because I asked the question there and in other Jade threads.
The thread about Sunno Clones has users who supposedly have flashed from 6.1 to 6.5.

I don't understand you. I bought this device with WM6.1 and I flashed on version 6.5. I haven't got any problems with this ROM. If you want link for download, I share (send) you...

I *think* he said, prior to your post that no one in that thread said that they were able to flash from 6.1 to 6.5.
Possible
I to hace the Clone and upgrades with the Smart.upr on my memory card. I did have to do a few things.
1. Small Memory card I used a 1 GIG card.
I took out the Sim card. and did it by holding down OK, Left Green Button then the power. it started working in a minute or so . IT took 10 Min to finish.
I tried all other ways and they DID NOT Work. Best of Luck...
I also updated my T3238 Clone from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 without any problems and it was working fine.
The only problem was that I could no longer define buttons with different programs. In WM 6.1
I used "AEButton Plus" and with that programm I could do that. Because I want to push only one button while I am driving in order to use Voice Speed Dial. Therefore I went back zu WM 6.1.
Now I only have to push the ok-button a little bit longer, tell my phone whom to call while IGO is still working.

When I had problems with the ROM I had, I realized how difficult it is to try to flash ROMs and end up with a working product. As a result of that incident, I also learned that there are differences between ROMs and that all versions are not created equal or fully functional.
As a result, I now believe it is best to stick with what you have. 6.1 supposedly is felt to be better than 6.5 which is buggy IMHO. Hopefully WM7 will be better but that is a year away.
I completely agree to you. I only try to flash a rom when I'm 100 % sure it's the right rom for my device and if I have the original rom to go back.
Hi,
I'm very new at this, I've searched the forums but find dead links to things, so I'm reposting.
I have a Touch Dual Neon400 from Bell Mobility. It's currently running Windows Mobile 6.1, I'd like to run Windows 6.5 (or better?). I don't want any fancy functionality just a better interface.
Is there a simple guide anywhere that will take someone through the whole process step by step. I don't know anything about ROMs, have never flashed the phone etc.
Thanks for your patience.
