[Q] Please Help! HTC Touch elf wont turn on. - Touch GSM General

I updated the original ROM to wm 6.1, cause the old one was Spanish. After this it worked for 30 minutes, but then it made re-start every 5 minutes. Turned it off, but cannot turn it on again. The first screen with Vodafone comes up, then it shuts down again. I can enter bootloader tricolor mode, but there is no RUU on the right corner, just two version numbers on the left side. Please help! Tried soft and hard reset, didnt work.

what it shows on boot loader mode ???????
don't worry just unlock and update spl , ipl
and then flash with any good rom ( not official rom )
i would suggest u to flash with onyx_6_release13 .
best of luck .

How do I unlock it, if it wont turn on, a cannot connect it to my PC?
I will make a screeshot from the bootloader screen.
Thank you in advance.

Ok, now it works. Used the method of dsixda. Worked fine.

wizard g3 stuck in spl/ipl screen

hello everyone. i just bought a g3 wich remains stuck in the ipl/spl screen. i tried VIPPIE 's tutorial (many thanks man for ur work) and flash button rom 1.05 to revive the phone. it flashed without any error , but same result. phone doesnt pass the ipl/spl screen. next i tried to flash Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102, flashed ok but nothing happend. i m just stuck on the ipl/spl screen. the phone isnt bricked but i can not start it to do a soft spl and flash it. any ideas ?
because it s an o2 xda mini s , i thought an original o2 rom would do the trick (start the phone) but i couldnt find an original rom (tried the xda dev ftp page and the o2 one).
many thanks
ps:sorry for the double posting(wizard+wm6) but now i figured out that since my phone doesnt start and hasnt a wm6 rom on it , the place for this thread is here

Is it the Bootloaders screen(Tricolor) with IPL/SPL or initial loading screen with ipl/spl ?
What ipl/spl...? it displays at the moment ?
You can try to get into Bootloaders mode (tricolor screen) by pressing and holding down the camera button and press the Soft Reset button at the same time with the stylus or turn off the phone and while pressing and keeping holding down the camera button,Power On the phone,it'll wake up and go into Bootloaders (tricolor screen).if it goes into bootloaders,connect your phone to the pc via usb and check if small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders screen,if its there run the Ruu to flash,But first post your present ipl/spl..? here.
Cheers
hmm , this is from XDADeveloperWiki
Once the flash is done and your Wizard is rebooted, it will display an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 2.xx.

well, in my case , after button rom flashes wizard displays IPL 1.01 SPL 1.03 and after i flash the xda_mini_launch_rom it displays IPL 1.03 SPL 1.05 . NOT SPL 2.xx as mentioned in the tutorial . why ?
zabardast_1 - many thanks for the quick reply mate. it starts with the ipl spl screen. i wrote the values above.
i get it into bootloader with the camera + on button , bot the active sync on the systray , doesnt activate, it remains grey (like no device is connected). weird stuff.
yesterday i just upgraded a g4 wizard to wm6 and everything went smooth , an now

ok,after flashing button's rom or xda_mini you'll certainly have an ipl/spl 1.xx,cuz these roms have actually ipl/spl 1.xx,they are aku 1.xx roms,it's required to have ipl/spl 1.xx to use lokiwiz02b tool to SIM/CID unlock the phone,only then it can be upgraded to any wm6 roms.But to upgrade to wm6 its essential to have ipl/spl 2.xx,so to get to ipl/spl 2.xx,you have to flash your phone with T-mobile 2.26,then it'll show an ipl/spl 2.xx as required,ok
Cheers
thanks mate , but in order to do the lokiwiz soft spl i need to have a working phone (i need to write the cab into my phone and execute). by doing so , my phone needs to work after flashing the button rom or the xda mini launch rom (right?). but mine , after flashing, remains in the ipl/spl screen (not the bootloader).
if i flash an o2 xda mini original rom , do i have a chance to revive the phone and to start it in order to apply the lokiwiz soft spl ?
Activesync will not work in bootloaders mode,bootloaders cut off the activesync,you can only verify the connectivity between your phone and pc,if in bootloaders,connect the phone to the pc via usb cable and check if small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders,if its there then just flash the rom,there's no need to establish connection through activesync,ok

YES ! first of all you got to have a working OS on the phone to activesync,only the you can perform with lokiwiz02b,ok
ok , so what should i do in order to start it succesfully and use lokiwiz. i cant find an original o2 rom and button rom or launch rom doesnt start my phone. what can i do ?
the o2 roms were deleted from xda dev ftp
ps : mate , if u r kind , log in to yahoo or msn , i m trying to contact u . ty
after a lot of searching and digging, i found the missing xda dev ftp O2 original roms . i flashed Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 , everything went ok , same result. doesnt pass the ipl spl screen. tried RUU_Wizard_1050402_101_11210_O2_ENG and same thing. im getting really confused. my pc responses when i connect the wizard, it flashes with no errors , but it wont start. what can i try more ?
ohh, i have made a new nasty descovery: when i keep pressed down the comm button and the voice button and press the reset with stylus, the phone turns off and restarts in spl/ipl screen instead of hard resseting. is it really messed up ?
I'm afraid m8,it has most probably some hardware issues,better get it checked by some techy or mobile repair shop.
Cheers !
thanks mate. you are most probably right. do you have any idea what should be checked and how ? i ask this because the software part is clearly damaged.
can i revive it using mtty program ? as a last resort. some mtty commands ? ty

ELFIN FROZEN... Hard/Soft Reset does not work ... Issue not listed

Hi,
Following are my Device details:
-------------------------------------------
Touch version : Elfin
Device ID : ELF010050
CID : DOPOD001
IPL : 2.20.0002
SPL : 2.20.0000
ROM version : 2.20.720.2
ExtROM version : 2.20.720.103
Operator version : None
AKU version : 0.4.2
Page Pool (MB) : 12
RAM Size (MB) : 128
ROM Size (MB) : 256
-------------------------------------------
The problem i am facing is unlike any other, i have searched the forum and googled it for sometime but to not much benefit. The problem is:
My elfin suddenly started to hang and hence i powered it off, on powering back on I can see only this message: " This operation will delete all your persoanal data, and reset all settings to manufacture default....."
The problem is the device is frozen, no damn key works. I was using my phone normally and was not trying to upgrade the ROM.
Then I removed my simcard and msd card and pressed the powerkey+Camera then pressed reset then while holding Power+camera+left+Enter key I am able to restart my device.
As soon as I put back the sim back in, the device restarts and shows the same msg.
When I remove the battery and tried the same key combination I am able to go to the 3 color bootloader screen using my usb cable. which shows IPL, SPL and USB.
But the problem does not end here, its not everytime i can load the 3 colour screen or load windows back in phone using the key combination I mentioned, I dont know when it will work, it works sometimes, sometimes it dont....strange!!!
Also one more thing, my ROM type 2.20.720 was not there on the threads for original ROM(this is the ROM version for most of the HTC ELFIN in INDIA).
I am sure someone must have a solution.
All Apologies for creating a new thread but none of the previous threads had any mention for such a problem.
Did you flashed your ROM?
If yes,you have to re-flashed your ROM to original one.i think it should to fix your problem.
I dont have the original ROM, and cant find it on XDA either can someone help. Thanks.
Firstly you have to know your Original ROM!
There is a link
http://www.htc-support.ru/forum/index.php?act=imei_
you should get information about your original ROM in Russian htc support forum,just set translator,below the page you have two textInput boxes ,second textInput it for check your IMEI,insert your IMEI no' into box and click enter,you will get all original information about your elfin,then you copy the information about your ROM to google then start to search for your original ROM,i had some problem,so i found my original rom in some Chinese forum.
Good Luck

Hi
You can flash using the memory card, no need for a pc connection. Look in the stickies in Touch GSM ROM Development http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374 but you still need to get into bootloader (tricolour screen)
Good luck

[Q] Help Needed HTC ELF doesn't turn on.

HTC ELF doesn't turn on.
I was flashing my Elf with Micro-SD method and when it get to flashing BINFS the phone just turned off . No Orange Led, no boot-loader mode, no hard reset can be done with it...
What could be the problem??? Can anyone give an advice
Best Regards VeNtilY.

Problem? Sounds like you didn't have full battery when flashing, and now your phone is bricked.
If you have some interest in doing so, you can always try JTAGing (check my sig) and that should help. Fairly complex i guess though. The thread is a bit messy, but I wanted to keep it so people could track through the thought process of what I was doing, and then when help came from another member (bombom81) how we got it to work on his phone.

[Q] HTC Touch Problem Remedy

Hello everybody, with the risk of opening an already discussed thread, I am asking for your help regarding my HTC Elf (or Elfin?).
Initially I tried to change the language from Spanish to English, with the aid of some programs like ELF USPL. The first thing that appeared on the screen when my phone turned on was an Orange(TM) logo and it did not go further than that (it shut back off). After several tries with that program and other .nbh files, I even installed an Onyx release.
Now the phone has the same attitude as with the Orange(TM) logo, but now it appears "smart mobility" and then shuts back off. When I enter the boot screen: on the red colour it says IPL 1.14.0002 and SPL 1.14.0000 followed by green, blue and a little white on which states if the USB is connected.
Can you guide me to the solution, please?

You need to find your original Rom then cid unlock. Don't forget to click on the last link too.
Good luck

Thank you for the directions. I've followed some of them and I am in this stage: I know my device ID: ELF010050 ORANG309, got the original ROM but the same 270 problem which pops up at 2% when the phone resets and then shuts down. My CID is locked and saw in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320155 a program called enable-rapi but requires the phone to be on to install the files. Can you help me further, please?
To the best of my knowledge, if you really had Your original Rom it'd have successfully flashed. Any other one will meet the 270 or 2% error. Enable Rapi and the rest is valid before you flash a Rom, so my best advice is to try to find the appropriate one.
After countless tries to flash that ROM, I'm still getting the 2% error. But I've noticed that I can make the tricolor screen display RUU in the top right corner by removing the battery while 0% - 2% flashed and turning the phone back on. But it doesn't work this way either, error 270 still pops up.
At this stage, I'd try other Roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Elf_Upgrades
I have tried all of them but with no success. Should I start with these ones now? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379034
Try find your cid and device using the same link first and then flash
ELF010050 and ORANG309 are the CID and device, I've downloaded two seemingly original ROMs but I still get the 2% error. They were in Spanish like the original one but still didn't work.
Sorry, running out of ideas...
try creating a goldcard, it should work

Thank you for the idea. Could you give me a link for a tutorial? I downloaded the Axe Box program and didn't install properly, maybe because of its version (5.0) that I got from some FTP server.
