(htc elfin) bricked?

Hello,i got elfin and i think i bricked my phone, i mean when i press a power button it goes to bootloader mode,when i press cam and power it goes through searching sd card in white background to bootloader again and i try soft reset nothing happens and when hard reseting nothing too,so that exacly what my device do and i don't know what to do it it started turning off when it droped on the wooden floor from about 1.10m or when it charged the battery whole night(FORGOT TO TURN OF FROM CHARGER) or it was when i tried to flash it to wm 6.1 i don't know, so these are the possibilities why is not switching on,but what i think it is because it BRICKED and when i tried to flash last rom it showed me an error in 48% and that probably deleted my rom before flashing and flash nothing,so i think there isn't any rom and that why can't turn on,but what i want to ask is that any way to flash rom or spl without activesync and RUU,coz the RUU needs activesync.PPLEASE REALLY HELP ME,PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

I had same problem, your device is CID locked you need to unlock it then flash your ROM.
It worked for me!!

Yup, error 270 states that your phone is still CID Locked!

ok but how can i get cid unlocked maybe ay tool for that ?
thanks for your commments

Its available at the elf upgrading forum
Check whether your device is a Elf / Elfin and download accordingly.
Its called SPL and IPL, you should be getting 3.10.

Thanks for the reply's

Please help me!!!

hspl doesn't allow you to flash a rom containing spl.
Rename rom as Elf0img.nbh and start your phone from bootloader to flas it from sd or use haret to unlock and flash your phone

Thanks for the quick response but now the problem is not that i cant't flash the original rom, but that i can't downgrade my spl from 3.10 to the original one (i suppose it was 2.20.0002 or something similar).
I really don't now hot to downgrade!

I've done it!!!
I downgraded my elfin from HardSPL 3.10 to the original 2.20.000!!!
I made an update packet using the original SPL 2.20.000 downloaded from the xda wiki.
I attach it to this post if anyone will need to downgrade his Elfin from HardSPL to the original SPL 2.20.000.

Guessing you're trying to CID unlock.
ERROR 270 (Update Error - The image file is corrupted):
Your device is still CID locked while trying to flash a cooked/custom ROM. Flash the USPL or Hard SPL if you have not already done so! If you were using the temporary USPL (white screen) method when you encountered this, you have to wait for the screen to go completely white before flashing a ROM (reset and try again if the screen did not go white).
What SPL were you trying, was it a USPL?

Yes you are right.
I am using elf-uspl 2.27
Can you suggest me something. which uspl or spl i shld use?
Thanks in advance

Hi sachinsud. How did it go, any luck?

[Q] HTC Touch Elf / ROM Problem

Hi
I have just updated the ROM of my French HTC Elf
The new ROM is official ( HTC_Touch_FRA_2.20.406.1B) from HTC support site
The problem: after the installation, done successfully , the HTC does not boot !!!
It shows me "Smart Mobility" then restarts
PS:
IPL : 2.20.0002
SPL : 2.20.0000
Soft and HardReset gives nothing
I can not make CId Unloak because I am blocked in mode Bootloader (No. ActivSync) thus I can not install Cooked ( custom ) ROM
Any solution ?
Thank you

Just go there http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=372 , hit the Search this Forum button and write "stuck in smart mobility" and read the results, it will take time but you'll find your answer.
Good luck

I have already done a big research but no solution
I have 2 problems :
- I did'nt find an original ROM ( to my HTC_Touch_FRA )
- There is no way to CID Unlock from Bootloader ! I can't do a CID Unlock because my HTC stuck in "smart mobility"

PS :
Device: ELF0100
CID: HTC__203

Sorry to hear, did you also read the 1st sticky and especially this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721#7.
If nothing works and the device is unusable, I would try some shipped roms with equivalent cid, even another language, flash them from SD card and hope to find a working rom, then cid unlock. I'm not telling to do that, just what I would
Bonne chance!

Bizarrely there is no official ROM with the same CID ( HTC__203 )
I don't find the original ROM ( factory ROM ) which was installed in my HTC !!!
How can I install ROM from SDcard ?! I have already put the file .nbh in SDcard but nothing takes place

this is how http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing

when i am flashing from a usb it shows invalid certificate please tell me what to do
