I have a Herald 100, wanted to upgrade to WM6.1, Originally had IPL 1.08.001 and SPL 1.08.001, did Hard-SPL 4.7 as per Instructions, Phone switched off and never restarted, went into Bootloader and showed me IPL 1.08.001 and SPL 4.7 Yan then I soft-reset and now its dead wont even go into Bootloader anymore. Any one can help ???
you aren't supposed to HardSPL with an spl less than 4. You may also need a higher IPL, but i'm not sure.
I've also heard reports that even with the 1.08.001 IPL and SPL, HardSPL still works.
So... to answer your question
1. try charging your battery
or
2. keep trying you might get lucky someday
or
3. you've utterly destroyed your phone and theres nothing else you can do
I get into the Bootloader again, IPL is 1.08.001 SPL is 4.7 Yang, tried with RUU 5.4 but Phone dies after 1% and i get Error 262. Do I have to install RUU 1.8 which was on originally now ??
i'd try it, but i don't know if it'll work
hardspl modifies the SPL, which is what controls the cid lock. my guess is that the lower spl doesnt quite accept the same instructions, which is why it doesnt work.
there are some threads about people who've made the same mistake and recovered their phones. look at those.
I can help you, contact me by PM
ps. Thanks for erase my last post
hey tramuyo, how exactly did you do it? There's been an increase in the amount of people that this happens to, and i'd very much like to have an answer and you seem to be the expert on this.
ps. whats that about erasing your last post?
Did you tried remove HardSPL?
Almost forgot, what model? Language? and make? You may need to restore the original rom to unbrick your phone
Try to do a hard reset. Hit both side buttons... and post results
Hard Reset shows me a Screen Canon Yang with Vodafone Logo and in the bottom right Corner: Now you're HardSPL. When i try and RUU with the original ROM i get no Connection.
On the RUU 5.4 the update starts and after 1% The Phone dies and the Update breaks off.
The Way i see it can either:
1. Remove Hard SPL or
2. Try this with the right Files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1848145&postcount=5
Problem solved, flashed with SD Card the Image from this Rom RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe according to this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2148052&postcount=27
Now I have IPL 5.04.0001 and SPL 4.70 Yang
Just wanted to mention, I have not been playing with WM for long, actually only since I own a WM Phone the last couple of month and this was my first Herald Experience, but therefore I have been flashing and fixing all other Cellphones for many years. The Herald Section in this Forum and the Wiki are not to well organised, could the Mods here maybe think of making a few Sticky Threads explaining the Basics to noobs in a Nutshell. I will post a new Thread later when I have a bit of time with my little Experience.

how did you uninstall hard spl in first place...
by putting back original spl
What error you get when you hard spl?
it stays on 0% and never move then it asks me to make a recover
1. Unlock your polaris
2. Than Hard-spl your device
PS: Only use the hard spl in the link provided. Disable your antivirus before procedure.
this might work.
thanks at first
but the first link cant be downloaded
and i think it is just an earlier version of hard spl 2.0
so i think it wont be usefull
From what I've read on a while ago on XDA, if your rom flash progress hangs in the middle of the process, it may be because of the fact that your current radio is too new for your 'old', original rom. You should try to flash an earlier radio before you flash the complete original (6.0?) rom.
And if you get it flash half of your rom, you probably didn't remove HardSPL, but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that familiar with it.

As I recall, the figures above indicate that you do have the original SPL. You should try to flash an original rom (if you don't have one, i have a dutch one here (wm6.0). If that doesn't work you should try to flash hardspl (hold the camera button while softresetting to enter bootloader) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964 ) and then try to flash a newer rom.
Where are you from?
Btw. I forgot to tell you that you need to flash an old radio too if you're going to flash the original rom. (if you don't have one already).
And when you have hardspl on your device, it'd be wise to flash a rom which include a radio.
I'll be away for a couple of hours, so I've put the original (dutch WM6.0) rom (incl. the original spl, but I think (dont know for sure) you need hardspl2.0 just to flash anything.) online here, let me know if your figured it out.
well thank you for all the help
but i am sadly informing it didnt work if the problem is the radio the i just need to flash another one .
it is just i cant or i dont know the right method to flash the necessary radio
would any one please tell how to flash radio from the boot loader when i dont have hard spl
Maybe a stupid question, but why can't you flash hardspl2? And do you have an unlocked device? You don't live in the Netherlands by any chance right?
why I can't flash hard spl 2 ?
actually I don't know
maybe because I am stuck in the boot loader
and sadly I am living in Saudi Arabia so we don't have much programmers around here nor people who have PDA
that's why I can't find someone to help
Can you describe exactly what you do step by step on your pc and pda and how your hardware is connected?
update: and tell me what messages are on your screen and if you get any errors
well first i connect usb so the pda directly starts boot loader (the screen with three colours)
after that whatever (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) i use the installing stops to give me this messege:
the rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process . the program will guide you step by step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.
this happens with every rom i tried including the har spl exept for the original rom it advance untill 38% then stops and give me the same messege.
if i try the (step by step ) process it ends up the same way .
anyway what i understand that my problem will end once i put (hard spl)
or if flashed another radio all i need to know is how to do either of them from the boot loader.
i have been so needy but sorry for that i am just sad about my pda i like it alot
I dont think it changes anything, but you do keep the camera button pressed while softresetting your device to get into the bootloader?
Usually your device only gets to the bootloader when you do that, but i can imagine that when your rom update failed and the device cannot boot a rom, it stays in the bootloader, but not in flash mode? Worth a try..
Tell me what appear in your PDA screen during boot. I want to know the information on the first screen like below:
R:
G:
D:
These information usually appear on the right bottom corner or your screen when you boot your device.
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).
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.
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!
Thanks for your time!

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.
