Hi,
I have tried for hours looking through the forum and trying different methods with no avail so was hoping someone could help me and keep it as simple as possible.
My HTC magic branded vodafone with a 32B board randomly freezes and sometimes has problems ending calls. It appears to be a software problem so was hoping flashing it would solve it however I havent been able to find a simple guide on howto do this.
If someone could help me out with a dummys guid to flashing my phone I would be grateful
Thank you in advance
James
p.s the phone is not rooted, its just the standard spec you get when brought.

Hi everyone, my first time here, I have an HTC Touch from Rogers, I failed to upgrade the ROM version for my Elfin, by mistake I downloaded the CDMA version and try to upgrade my GSM Touch. As a result my HTC stays on the 3 color screen, and I've already tried all the possible solution that are recommended on this forum, I haven't tried the Gold Card, and I guess that I need the original ROM for this HTC. The point here is that following the procedure to obtain the model of the HTC with the MTTY software on the log it doesn't shows the Model or CID. So I can really know what ROM is the one to download. At the back of HTC it shows ELF0101.
I really don't know what else to do and trying to make a Gold Car is really complicated because I really don't know much about computers or cell phones.
Is there another way to find out the Model and the CID ?
Does anyone has the same model ELF0101 from ROGERS ?
Can you please help me ?
Sorry for my writting, havent been practicing my writting in english I'm from Monterrey, Mexico.
Thanks to everybody
And sorry if this post is not to be here...
Yours is ELF010150 and ROGER001, just like mine.
Search for a shipped ROM with ELF010150 as the Model ID.
There is a Quebec Rogers one (ELF010150 ROGER202).. search for that, and use it in your Gold Card.

Hello and welcome on board,
Can you post up the exact error message you are getting please?
Also read this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477 which you will fond useful and come back with any questions.
Incidentally you are not a fool for asking as long as you have searched first.

hi mate thanks for the reply,when i go to the htc offical rom download,i'm asked to enter my serial number,which i do but says my device is not suitable and won't let me proceed any further??
cheers phil
got a major problem now ive tried to update to 1.48 but it crashed now i get a warning traingle on start up,and can go into bootloader screen and it says upgrade rom code error please try again???someone please help.i hope i havent bricked my phone
Is your HD2 branded? (bought it in combination with a contract?)
hi mate its on vodafone contract buts its not branded.
Hi again,
Have you tried to hard reset your phone to see if the old rom boots up again?
If it does not then you might want to reflash your existing rom onto your phone using the SD card method (look at the threads at the top of the Rom Development page to find what you are looking for).
If it works and you are still keen to upgrade the rom you need to read the threads on using either the Goldcard or HardSPL methods to upgrade.
Come back and let us know how you got on.
WB
hi mate i was having the exact same probs as the chap in the hd2 bricked thread,same messages etc and stopping at 9% i took there advice and reflashed the hpsl again which has worked a treat,i'm now a little dubious bout trying to upgrade as i don't fancy bricking it.
ive emailed htc to see why i cant upgrade from 1.43 to 1.48 seems odd it says my phone isnt suitable.
p.s thanks for the help mate much appreciated
OK, wait until you hear back from them. However if you are now up and running and have installed HardSPL, I think you will find that flashing a new radio on its own might help solve your problems.
I think if you look at the thread you were referring to (this one...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084), IIRC, MysticGenius runs through a procedure for doing this that helped him sort out a similar problem.
Good luck with it.
WB
PS: Lesson learned here though is to read exhaustively on the topics on here BEFORE jumping in as fixing problems later can be both time consuming, if you are lucky, and a pain in the rear. As for that horrible sick feeling you get when you think you have bricked £500 worth of phone....wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!

A little help if anyone's willing
Have Vodafone branded Legend and just want to debrand.
Its on Firmware update 2.1 update 1 and software no is 2.05.161.1
Have created Goldcard, hopefully.
Stuck now on next part.
When i try to install RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.23.405.1_Radio_47.26.35.04_7. 05.35.26L_release_120393_signed.exe.htm i get error 131.
Done loads of reading and not sure if its goldcard problem or that i have to downgrade 1st.
Or was wondering if i could put on the HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3 without downgrading.
I have windows 7 and some of the roms ive tried say not compatable with 32 bit system.
Any pointer from here would be greatly appreciated.

Questions should be posted in general...
I just got a used HTC Universal. It had a generic WM5 install on it. I came here, looking for a WM6.x ROM. A couple years ago, I had great success doing this with an HTC Wizard (which I still have) -- I know how to flash a ROM. However, with the Universal, I am not having any luck.
The device comes up in bootloader mode just fine. But no ROM I have tried, ever boots up. I have tried the MTTY DOC format, I have tried using MaUpgradeUT, I have tried using the ROMUpgradeUT.exe that comes with the ROM's... nothing seems to work. If I understand the various posts here -- the device is acting like the Carrier ID is still set, and no ROM will work until I clear the CID and/or find a ROM that matches the CID. But, I thought that the MAUpgradeUT was supposed to clear out the CID? Is there another utlity for that?
I have spent basically 8 hours today, trying to get this to work... I am willing to ship this to someone in the US and pay $$$ to get it working again. It's a nice device (looks brand new) and I really want to use it. It was working just fine on WM5, until I got the bright idea to re-flash it.
Can anyone help?
hi again... found a copy of TML v8[1].7.1 21028 regular 64MB and IT WORKED!. My phone is no longer stuck in bootloader limbo.
however, this ROM seems to be hard-wired to look for a TMobile network? I have an AT&T GSM SIM... my phone isn't connecting to my provider, at the moment.
THanks to all for past and future help.

Hello, I have a small problem and it seems I can't find a way to fix it. I want to flash my HTC Touch2 from it's Orange Romania Custom ROM to the original HTC ROM but for the life of me I can't do it. I found a lot of threads on google all pointing out to different threads here on xda, I tried different options but none worked.
I am sure this issue is log solved by now so could someone tell me what to do?
My phone is Orange locked and when it boots this is what is on the screen:
R 3.54.25.25
G 61.55t.25.38H
D 1.37.95995
I have little clue what these are or what they represent, I presume the firmware and radio. Can someone direct me to a thread where there is a step by step tutorial on how to flash the original rom or at least a tutorial to get me to a point from where I can flash the original rom.
You can also post here the steps on how to flash this phone I won't mid
PS: While trying different methods of flashing the ROM I got different errors so I'm stuck.
Please help it will be much appreciated.
Cheers
Well?? Can someone help me pls?
did you HARD SPL your touch2 before flashing? just a precausion type question...
I have tried but I'm not sure if it worked or not. I presumed that by now there are some tools or tutorials out there that have all you need to flash the phone again. The ones I found didn't work, I got different errors while running the original ROM so I'm stuck and I don't know what to do.
i have used this process - it worked
