Hi all,
I've read the threads, read the stickys, so I realise to read them is the first advice everyone gives and it's logical, but I've ended up with 20+ tabs open in my browser where threads/stickys link to others and I'm totally lost... would someone please help a novice with a 'walk thru'.
I have a Touch P3450 (unmodified, so far) with Spanish OS which I would like to change to English. I assume the procedure is to backup the existing system and then flash a new. I am so confused that I would be happy if anyone could explain the procedure and even recommend which files to flash, is it just one file or multiple (radio etc).
Any help would be really appreciated. I have got as far as running the device info program, this is the results (I don't know if this is locked or not):-

Hi tito12, thanks for the reply and the welcome
I've managed to backup the ROM, so one more step forward.
Sorry, but I'm stuck on #2 (cid unlock). I went to the link you provided and found the message headed :- "IPL 3.07, 3.10 & USPL 3.07, 3.10"... is this correct?. If so there are 3 possible attachments to download:-
IPL_USPL_3.07.zip
IPL_3.10.zip
ELFIN_USPL_310.zip
Do I need to run all three and can you tell me do I just run them from an extracted .exe file? (I saw a ref to running with 'prof' or something which I didn't understand).
Thanks
PS: Sorry the forum wouldn't let a newb retain your links in the quote.
sorry double post
Hi
It's been a long time since I did this and I don't remember if you can go directly to 3.10. So first flash the uspl 2.28 then if everything ok flash 3.10

Is this correct and can I now try moving onto flashing Onyx?
Great
Try to change the ipl too but I think it's not essential.
You can flash any cooked rom now, I use Onyx for more than a year
tito12,
Thanks for your help.
I'm not 100% sure how, but I've done it... now running Onyx
From reading the stickys and threads, it isn't apparent to a newb (me anyway) that some of these utilities have a GUI (menu system) and it seemed a bit under explained when people just said... install this, flash that etc. Not too daunting when you actually get stuck in.
I didn't do anything with the IPL (seems to work as is) nor the radio... is it worth updating the radio and/or anything else???
Thanks again.
Glad I could help
You're right about too much information getting in the way but let's not forget this is a developers forum and we are not
As for radio you can experiment, as a rule the later the better but not always...

Hi, someone gave me a Dopod S1 on T-Mobile, it is from China Mobile and I think it is an ELF 0300 and is on Windows Mobile 6.0.... I think
It is in Chinese and I want to change it to English.
Now I have no clue where to even begin, but I was told to check this forum out. so can someone please help me before I smash this thing up lol
Thanks

Hey thanks for the prompt response. I had a wee hunt about and managed to find some info about it. I have now managed to get it on english with onyx 6.5 which is looking pretty damn class!
Thanks dsixda for this!!!
OK, new problem, once I installed the onyx 6.5, it worked for about an hour although it kept restarting itself, then it went off and now it wont go on. I can turn it on and it will go to the manufacturers screen (china mobile) then when it should start loading the OS it just cuts off. I can get it to go to the RGB screen by pressing the power and camera button and if I press the call and end call buttons i can hard reboot. have tried reinstalling the onyx but it installs and just cuts off. any ideas???
on the RGB screen it says
IPL 2.24.0002
SPL 1.11.0000 if that helps any, like I said im a windows mobile virgin lol....
This says you've bricked your device, maybe there's a chance to recover and this time you will have to stop a moment and read what others experienced and what solution they found. Good luck
Bricked it????
Sounds painfully interesting, I'm looking through the wiki now but if you have any pointers on where to look, it would be very appreciated.

i wud suggest you to upgrade your ipl and spl to 3.10.
Don't make the mistake to jump again to rom flashing. As srgudhka tells you, you should upgrade IPL and SPL this is called CID unlock so you can install a new rom, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
( not SIM unlock that refers to opening device to other networks !!!see http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374&order=desc&page=2 )
Hi guys,
just wondering, I changed the CID so I could install the new Oxygen ROM.
After using the HARD SPL, I coud succesfully install the Oxyen 6.5:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
But, after I tunred off the phone and introduced the sim card the elf wont start any more.
It just shows "smart mobility" for a couple of seconds and that's it, display goes back to blank.
The only thing I can do is press start button + camera and the phone goes in the RGB mode, writing the SPL & IPL
IPL 2.20.0002
SPL 1.11.0000
Any Idees how can I put the phone back on the feet.
Any input is very much apreciated.
Thanks
Are you sure Oxigen is a rom for elf ?

Obviously your device isn't cid unlocked any more, try the procedure again, and if it doesn't work, go to elf upgrading forum and search for stuck in smart mobility.
that's exactley what it was...thank you so much for your Help!
Hi, I've just recently acquired my HTC ELF.
What I would like to do is to be able to flash cooked ROMs on it.
As what I have read, the first thing you need to do is to get the Device ID and CID. So I used Device Info and my Device ID is ELF01001 & CID is DOPOD001.
By the way my IPL is 1.17.0002 and SPL is 1.17.0000.
Then I downloaded my original shipped ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379034
RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.17.707.2G_4.1.13.46_02.97. 90_GREEN_Ship.exe
Device: ELF010001
CID: DOPOD001
Version: 1.17.707.2G
Language: USA
I also downloaded my Radio version 02.97.90
Then I started reading about CID unlocking. I read these 2 threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320155
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637
So what I did first was install and enable Rapi on my phone, after that I used USPL 1.17.0000 (which I got from the 2nd thread) and as far as I know it went well because my device rebooted after the process.
Here is my problem I wanted to check to be sure if the CID unlocking I did work so I followed this 2 threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379318
I followed the steps very carefully.
-disable usb on WMDC
-put phone on Bootloader then connect to PC
-open SnoopyPro.exe, use toggle bar and 'Install & Reset' pocket pc and window mobile based-device (the thing with this on my toggle bar it doesn't say that, instead it says windows mobile remote adapter) I don't know why.
-closed snoopypro and opened it again.
-then I ran mtty.exe, chose usb and RTS/CTS then clicked ok then it says 'usb port can not open'. Now I'm stumped.
I've tried this several times over and it always goes to 'usb port can not open'.
Can anybody tell me which part I went wrong?
I don't really want to risk flashing a cooked ROM when I really haven't CID unlocked my phone.
A few more questions, in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
It says real HardSPL. Do I still need to do this even if the USPL was successful? And if yes, which one is the best version should I put on my device?
When I have successfully CID unlocked my phone, does it mean that I would be able to flash ROMs using the SD card method?
I used to have a Hermes before and the SD card was much more easier and safer to do that's why I would like to use that method if I could.
In flashing between ROMs do I still need to flash a shipped ROM prior to flashing a cooked ROM everytime. Or can flash cooked ROM after cooked ROM?
By the way the cooked ROM that I would like to try out first is Onyx Ultimate 4.9, hopefully I'd be able to try it out soon. Please suggest other cooked ROMs as well.
Please I would really appreciate some help, I just don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks! ^_^

you should use hardspl coz it avoid bricking device if your are gonna flash roms. i would suggest you to go for 3.10 as 3.14 is heavy on battery.
regarding if you wanna check whether your device is cid unlocked or not then follow this.
use device info by dsixda found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418892&highlight=cid+locked
if your device is cid unlocked then the spl will end in cmon or pof
@srgudhka
thanks, I did the device info.bat and my spl now is SPL: 1.17.0000pof (USPL) so CID unlocking was successful.

I followed what you said.
After installing IPL 3.10 I flashed Onyx WM6.1, it's so much better than wm6.
I'm still on the fence if I want to try 6.5, titanium apps are a bit of work when I was using my hermes before.
Can anyone clarify for me if I have to flash a shipped ROM prior to flashing a cooked ROM? Or is it okay if I flash a cooked ROM after cooked ROM?

No, you can flash cooked to cooked. In fact i recommend you to stay away from shipped roms, lots of ppl brick their devices when playing with those.
@crapula512
thanks
I think it's a good thing that I don't have to always revert back to a shipped ROM. It was very time consuming when I used to have a hermes.
I'm really liking my HTC Elf but it seems my battery is draining a lot faster than I'm used to. I'm not sure if it's the Onyx WM6.1 ROM or the battery that came with my phone. I'll try a new ROM in the next few days to see if there will be any difference.
Thanks to everyone!!!^_^

@Fa7my
I've downloaded the 3.34.90 Radio version in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527048&highlight=radio
but when I extracted it says 'Elfin', would that be okay to use for the Elf?
Would it still be compatible?
My battery is only good for 32 hours depending on usage, if I use wifi or make calls it will only last less than 18 hours. I'm thinking maybe if I change my Radio version it might make it last little longer.
Thanks.
yup, u can upgrade the radio as well. only u can find out which one suits u the best. same goes for cooked ROMs. try them all and use the one which suits u best.

Okay thanks! ^_^
I'll try 3.34.90 first and see if it makes any difference.
Hi, my name is Akash and I am new here.I have an Htc elf. Recently i tried upgrading it to win 6.5.
