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. I've bought HTC Magic recently. It is version 32a, as it has 288 MB of RAM.
Currently the build version is 2.16.*
So I wanted to download and upgrade to latest rom version 2.20.401.2 from HTC.
After putting my S/N HT97******** it shows me Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is here anyone who could help me please?
If you **** around too much on the htc home pages you do not get to download any update. I do not know why it is so but so it was with me,
So turn off your browser to try again. or get a new IP address
Or **** in the slow updates and root your phone it takes five minutes. Then your phone will be double as fast .???????????
OK, I've tried changing the browser, deleting browser's cache, reconnecting to the other wifi (so other IP), but all without success.. Thanks anyway Any other suggestions please?
Try to morrow.
Kk, but I don't think it's the reason because it didn't work already when I visited HTC website for the very first time and as I wrote, I tried it with different IPs, browsers etc.. but anyway, I'll give it a try
Is the update for your phone, ie the country its from? Otherwize sn will be wrong

Please help!!!
My hd2 be came a stone after I flash this Asia version 1.48.707.2_Radio
the phone can not turn on, can not do the hard reset, volume + power, no help,
15 day warranty is over!!! when I connect the phone to computer, it need the Qualcomm cdma technologies msm Driver, but still can not turn on and I can not find the driver.
sounds like you have a tmous. (t mobile us) in which case the radio in that ROM you flashed has killed it. bad luck.
Yes, it was the tmobile version, anyone can help

you need to be able to enter bootloader for that.
you could try the thread called "qualcomm drivers" but i wouldn't hold out much hope, that thread has been there ages, i would have thought it would have been outed as a solution by now. lots of people have killed their tmous with the wrong radio, no ones fixed one.
sorry my friend but your phone is dead as no solution for this has been found. there is a sticky on the tmous hd forum all about flashing radios and it clearly states not to flash any radio other than x.50.xxx.xx radios the one you flashed is a .48

(( .48 is the rom version, the radio in that rom is 2.05.51.05, , OP didnt give the whole filename ,,,, effect is still the same tho, , dead tmous ))
I have no Idea for now, except ship it back to HTC repair
Since it's only 15 days out of warranty, maybe you can talk to a manager or somebody at TMO and see if they can work something out for you. Just play dumb (shouldn't be too tough considering you flashed a .51 instead of .50... just kidding ), and say you're not thrilled about the device not turning on just 15 days after the warranty period. You can also tell em you might be forced to switch over to AT&T / Sprint if they don't fix it for free / for a subsidized price .
Somehow I get the felling that you don't use TMO and you don't live in the States, in which case, my sincerest condolences.
thanks for all the suggestions and posting

如果你是自己刷机造成的话，违反了保修条款的，所以只能收费维修。在深圳原来卖的店铺检查后说是字库坏了。但是可以换新的。我付了450元，现在变成了HTC新加坡版，就是IMEI和SN都变成新加坡认可的。取回来之后，还是先解锁成1.42.0000，然后解锁成2.08。这时去新加坡HTC官网，用新的SN验证后下载亚洲版英文ROM。刷了以后，中文都可以看。中文输入法包括拼音、注音、仓吉等。东南亚有很多华人，另外新加坡是唯一官方使用简体中文的国家，所以选择新加坡比较好。现在一切都正常，中英文都可以，只是系统菜单都是英文，对我来说没有问题。你在美国的话，我想可能还是恢复T-Mobile的美洲版英文。解决的方法一个是不要解锁，安装中文字库和输入法，例如网上流传的雅黑等。我已下载，如果找不到我设法传给你。但是我现在的办法是，先解锁成SPL-1.42.0000，如果不是而是SPL-1.42.***也不行。有软件可以改的。如需要我可以把我用过成功的传给你。解成SPL-2.08后，T版和非T版都可以刷ROM了。我的刷完之后，并没有重新锁上，而还是保持在SPL-2.08。我的经验如此。英文我可以看，但是像这长篇大论我是写不出来的。

You can send back to your HTC service center, and you have to pay for changing mainboard of the HTC HD2. But I think you still get a tmous back. So you have to unlock first using HSPL 2 or some tools. If you need I will send to you.
Now I got back my "dead brick", but it is a real HTC HD2 Asia version, and I download every thing from HTC Singapore using my new SN(new IMEI). I don't think they are real official version but directly downloaded from HTC official website.

thanks tvman;
yeah, I hope they wont charge me any penny on that.
I know there are lots of people have Problem with the T-mobile HD2, if you have your story, please share here.
Yes, but I think my experince is not suitable to here. My Leo now becomes real HD2, I still flash the rom with Tmous official version for testing about one week. Everything is OK. I add Chinese fonts and IME. But I don't like so many useless application in mainland to take about 100M memory. Finally, I flashed a cooked rom in Chinese, no useless applications in it. I have to install my favorite applications and patches. I don't think flash rom frequently is good idea. We are not experts or enthusiasts but cellular users only. It's my opinion.
Hi!
I'm completely new to WP7. I bought a HTC Trophy last week that unfortunately is branded with Vodafone. I live in Sweden and bought it from a company here in Sweden who take the devices from Europe. I don't know the exact country. I guess it is a Vodafone device from German since the pdf manual on the CD is German.
My questions:
1. How can I be sure that I choose the correct ROM?
2. If I choose wrong, will I brick my device?
3. Debranding. I guess it's a one time procedure? If I debrand it I will get the updates directly from Microsoft and the device is still debranded after a update?
By the way. Great forum! Developers, keep up the excellent work!
Regards
-- Daniel

1. Go to Settings -> System -> About -> More info
Find your operator here from this thread
Then you need to find appropriate ROM for your device.
2. It should not let you flash wrong ROM even if you try. Update utility check your phone model and CID. So it should be safe.
3. If you unbrand your device, you will still get updates from MS, and from HTC. If you for some reason want to install branded ROM later, you can do that at any time (if there is a branded ROM for your device), check here.
i am going to use this thread to post a question. After battling with wm 6.5 for more than an year i went to wp 7. I am new to the operating system and i wan't to know if there is any real need to go for a different Rom than the one that came with my device. Is there a need to unbrand the phone?

Well, for me personally I unbranded my phone mostly for two things.
1. The annoying Vodafone page that I came to when pressing search button in Internet Explorer.
2. In the future I hopefully get the updates as soon as Microsoft releases it. When branded I had to wait for Vodafone to test the update.

I'm actually planning to buy a WP7.. wondering does it same as winmo which we dont nid Rooting ? or it is like Android or iOS tat we nid rooting/JailB ? thanks..
Debranding has nothing with jailbreak to do. I'm not sure if jailbreak is possible on latest WP7 release. For me jailbreak isn't an option. Just wanted to get rid of all Vodafone stuff in my device.
Dear HTC J One users,

I am not experienced so muchg with bricks unfortunately. Seems to be hard brick from what you said. Can you take it to AU shop? or are you outside Japan?
Try to look for info about normal (non-japanese) HTC One brick problems - they are 99% same phones - so it might help
Hi people. Nice to see some information about this phone.

What ROM did you use from the list in your first post? Can you confirm, that sd-card working.

Hi. I am now visiting relatives in Japan, and was thinking of changing my old Samsung Nexus S...
I like the quality of service here, and I guess I can buy a used keitai with much confidence.
So I was thinking about this one,as I can find it here for about 25.000 yens, but I am wondering if I will be able to use it normally abroad, with almost all the features.
For example, can you run the 4.2 rom in english ? is it convenient ? One-seg feature is exclusively for japan I guess, right ?
If you think there is another high quality phone that can be bought here, please advise :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

hello,
I have this phone HTC J One (htll 22) and I use it everywhere in Europe witout problem. To answer your questions:
1) You can Run 4.2 Rom in English, French, German, Ukrainian and many other languages. You can swith to English easily via Menu>Language and Locale > English, to swith to other languages, you need MoreLocale app and root.
2) One-seg is Japan only. No other country has this type of waves.
3) You can wait for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is coming in 3-4 month (it will be quite expensive at first). Otherwise, i beleive HTC J One is the best phone on Japanese market right now. Maybe Nexus is worth a look.
4) Yes, you can buy a used phone from Yahoo auctions for about 25000 or you can buy from http://www.Zenmarket.jp, even if you are abroad. Also, I have a slightly used rooted and sim-unlocked spare phone (PM me if you are interested)
5) to use the phone abroad, you need S-OFF, Root, and Sim-unlock. it is a pain, but it can be done if you are familiar with ADB and other stuff.
6) Is it convenient? I did not like the BlinkFeed thing. So I installed another launcher. Otherwise, it is a great, durable, very good looking phone. I am not going to change it for now.
HTL22 Sim Card Not Detected
I have HTL22 (HTC J ONE) and I've followed this forum to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install custom mods, S-Off and all, but I've had problem with phone not detecting a sim card.
I've tried many custom roms, and none have worked and i even bought a sim unlock code from one of the websites, however I couldn't figure out how to put that in as the roms do not ask me to enter a code.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you in Japan? Did you buy your phone from auctions?
if answer to both questions is yes - you might be a victim of IMEI - lock by AU. This happense when the first owner of the phone is not paying for the phone, and thus phone becomes locked.
Your phone will work ust fine outside of Japan, but in Japan IMEI number is blacklisted. Changig IMEI in Japan is legal (unlike in many countries) but there is no easy way to change it. And it is not allowed to discuss methods for changing IMEI on this board
How to root HBOOT 1.54

wow.. this is news to me.. i was planning to buy HTL22 or Sc-01F from Amazon.. After reading abt IMEI lock, i am rethinking again..
how can anyone know beforehand if the phone is IMEI locked or not??
1) ask the seller what is IMEI number. If they do not give you the number, most likely it is blocked already
2) when you have the number go to

3) input your IMEI in the search field and clik on CHECK (KAKUNIN)
4) if the result is ○ then no problem, if the result is △ There is a possiblility the phone will be blocked if the user stops paying the fees, and if the result is × - the phone is already blocked.
