First you read this guide completely.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721

I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07
Radio Version:03.07.90
Protocol Version:4.1.13.51
EXT ROM Version:2.20.707.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC

thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Upgrade to 6.5 Final Build 21234.

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!

Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.

thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...
btw...you really like writing in bold letters eh...kinda makes us feel we are blind...

hey guys...i found this update on htc web site http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=88&cat=2&dl_id=25
and i'm wondering if this update will only update the existing original rom or will completely install new windows on my phone..coz i installed 6.1 rom and i want to install the original one if that will install it?!!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379034&highlight=original+rom
Stock roms all here.
The update is pretty long back!
The update is basically like going back in time, thats windows mobile 6.0, we are using windows mobile 6.1

yea i know that but i need the original rom 4 the mob coz i faced problems when i installed win6.1
so if that's the original one i guess i'm gonna try my luck with it!

If there's the ROM you're lookin' for in the thread linked by jeremy, that'll be the original ROM
If not, you should CID unlock your device and flash one of these ROMs (WM 6.0) or you can even try other WM6.1 or 6.5 systems

Hey guys...i tried to install the software i told u about which i downloaded from htc website...but it didnt continue..it always breaks and give me connection error message...
but later i tried 2 install onyx again and it went fine...so am i now stuck with onyx and cooked roms?!!!

Connection error?
Can you flash using SD?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing
Make sure the original roms fits your phone.

well..i've read the SD flash, but the problem is that the rom file is exe file not nbh, and secondly what's the stylus, sorry to ask for many question but i'm very new to pocket pc's!

Stylus is that 'stick' or 'pen' where you use for the touchscreen.
I thought there was a nbh version, that someone has stripped from the original.

[Q] How to Upgrade Iolite to WinMo 6.5?

Hello dear Xda-Developers forum,
i came here because i want to upgrade my XDA Guide (HTC Iolite) to the new WinMo 6.5 from Iomega staff.
First things first,
i have already read quite a few "how-to's" but still cant solve this issue.
I wanted to dump my rom first before i start to install the new one, so i've dumped 4 .raw parts from my phone but as i wanted to merge them into a rom with ervius-kitchen it just deleted these parts and gave me an error.
Also when i dump my phone via an exe and not by typing it in a cmd window i only get 2 .raw files. Is this an error or is the rest just not needed?
Next i have some quite basic problems:
-What is a .nbh file and where do i get it to cook a rom?
-If possible is there already a Stock O2 German rom i could download? (Google gave me no results)
-I have no idea how to install a new rom
Thanks in advance,
Micha

Solved.
I've been able to install the rom but however am not able to form my dumps into 1 .nbh. Anyway since i don't seem to get an answer to that i see this thread as of no further use and would admit and Admin deleting it.
Merry Christmas
Micha

How to update ROM?

Hello,
I have been working mainly with HTC, but now I've switched to Samsung Omnia B7610. Since it has Windows Mobile 6.1, and there is WM 6.5, I would be most thankful for explanation how to do update safely.
Are there some risks for Rom updating? Is it only needed to plug the phone and do the update, or there are some pre actions to be done? What about a keyboard layout, how to update and to keep it's original layout?
Thank you.

Come on, it just can't be that anyone haven't done this before. I just need info how to do it right.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...w_Omnia_II_ROM#Flashing_your_new_Omnia_II_ROM
Check the link its the complte deal with all u need.
I used the Octans downloader 2.14
but before you flash, beware, i havent managed to find the original ROM at all after searching for almost a year. So if you can first save that and then flash.
P.S. I'd really appreciate if you could somehow pass over the Original ROM to me.

Did you search before asking this question? There are tons of guides and threads out there containing the answers you seek.

If you want any other help, feel free to PM me =D

Thanx Simon_WM...! I will check it out and try it out tonight.

Hi Simon,
I have read tiad8's guide on tiad8.com web site.
But it may be a little difficult to the newbies like me.
For example in the thread (build) NAND RHOD GSM (ROM FROYO BLUE) ETA: READY:
...
Install Directions V2 make sure battery is 80% on windows mobile...
*sync your phone (USB MUST BE PLUGGED IN)
*Flash your phone with the LK Bootloader NBH
*Open bash/command prompt and run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
...
How could I do the above jobs in WM or xdroid?
I try to register on it to ask him, but get denied.
Could you help me ask if he can release a more detail description with some picture?
Perhaps uploading the guideline video on the youtube is another good idea.
I do appreciate his great job.
Thanks.

Works
Hi!
Well...after few years from having MDA Compact II i bought HTC Touch HD. In meanwhile i had Nokia Symbian(6630,nGage etc...i was a kid in those times). Few days ago i still had old Nokia 5140i, and SE k550
(...just you to see what was my general opinion on newer phones)
I bought used HTC Touch HD for about 120€. Rom is same energy thing 6.5, which is actually prety sweet. In second moment i already instaled Foryo 2.2 on SD card and it is running excellent. Well, i cant watch youtube but sound is coming(that is one problem), and the second one is that it doesent recognize my SD card anymore.
Beside those "errors" it is quite nice. I had never thought that it would come to that, becouse i was struggling with MDA Compact. After it i started using old simple mobile phones...
Few programs which will make life easier and i am ready to go.
When i remember how i was moderator on symbian-mobile.org, fighting with symbian, small screens and clumsy controls...ihihihi

very easy: don't do anything!
the rom build you named "NAND RHOD GSM (ROM FROYO BLUE) ETA: READY" is clearly a rom for the rhodium and not the blackstone, which is why flashing it will brick your device.
you should wait for a suitable blackstone build, preferably one that was tested before and is sure to work and support all the hardware of the blackstone.
