First you read this guide completely.

I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07
Radio Version:03.07.90
Protocol Version:4.1.13.51
EXT ROM Version:2.20.707.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC

thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Upgrade to 6.5 Final Build 21234.

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!

Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.

thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...
btw...you really like writing in bold letters eh...kinda makes us feel we are blind...

Help Me Creating ROM for Magician....

Hey guys i have bought my new Touch Pro 2 mobile.. and so i am going to use my I-mate jam for making new ROM's for jam.. Request to all Magician ppl to help me to build rom what you want... you can tell me
1. Do you want a clean rom..
2. Rom with TouchFLO 2d..
3. Anyother..
will be waiting for your replys..
cant make the decision alone.. so thought of making a post..

Q: Do you know how to build magician ROMs?
If yes, please tell me how. (I was making few roms for friends kovsky, so i know what and how, but i have not found any way how to build for my magician)

A clean to the bone 6.5.3 ROM would be nice...
Or even Android!
P.S. I`m in for testing!

Android + 1, or 6.5.x with manila 2

I think andriod is to slow for the magician, and it would be to hard to make it for one person.
Windows mobile 6.5.5 is really nice. But I heard it is hard to unpack the magician roms. There is not any kitchen released. Only cotulla has succeeded making an magician rom so far..

Yes, but he is selfish and doesn't want to share his work with us. Lazy too. I respect his work but nothing new is posted since 2009... Like he is left this magician project...

Android sounds interesting.
I'd even like to help in any way possible, posted a message in the general > questions just today.
I'm doing a study informatica > software engineer, and for a schoolproject we have to write an android application ... don't have €500,- for some fancy HTC phone with android on it, so if we could kick my phone back to life (even if it is slow) it would be awesome.
Saying that, also like to add that i have enough sparetime to help you out with some testing, reading, writing/coding I'm not really experience with mobile phone OS ROMS so it is a good challenge and probly a nice sparetime project

I would that its a rom like htc touch 2,
The start button at the bottom

I fear also that Cotulla no longer is working on the Magician ROMs.
I hope I'm wrong...
A new ROM should be fingerfriendly and stable with all Radio-Software-Versions.
I love my Magician ! A solid Case , you became all Repair Parts for low Price and you can change them self . I would be happy , if someone could make a kitchen, with a chance to change the language . Good luck !

Mod. edit: as of now not dev related, moved to general

?
hey
i want to ask when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know

?
Does anywhone now when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know

A WM6.5.X, Android or WP7 is great.

info needed...
hello
does someone have any info on how to build rom
i managed to decrypt, extract, modify (oem and xip) and now i need some help to build rom back so that i can encrypt it and use RUU to flash...
any info is welcome

are you kidding me? what do YOU CAN MODIFY?

Tell me that you are not modifying Cotulla's roms, that is not cool dude.
Respect his work and wishes, either create your own rom or get permission from the big man himself before doing it.

DO NOT WORRY i DO NOT use Cotulla's rom!!!! i do respect his great work... at the moment im working on WM2003SE but i guess that same or similar procedure is used on WM6.1/WM6.5.... so i juct need to figure out way to build new rom form files that i have extracted...
any info is appreciated....
i havent found any kitchen for Magician, and kitchen for Himalaya or BlueAngel does not work on Magician... so sad...

ok that is great news, now I am sure there are guides for rom compiling available around here. I will have a look soon and report back

I cooked my own ROM based on Cotulla O5. but Cotulla doesn't allow it for the publication.

if you want you can publish your rom on www.techz.in

Using Search find HSPL2 or HPSL3 that is the first step
Then when you download the Energy rom i mentioned ....use Leo_SoftwareUpgrade.exe to install the rom.... in other roms it can be named as CustomRUU also....its usually .exe file(ROM installing program) and .nbh file(ROM itself)

Really interesting thing you have there, you know how to flash a custom rom but not how to flash a stock rom ?!?!?!
You do know that the procedure is the same for both, don't you?

i juzt got my HTC HD2.....previosly the ROM was flashed by my friend....
Thanks anyway guys...i need to do more research and experiment on it...cheers to all

They´re actually all "stable", "fast", and whatnot.
You´ll find some minor differences in graphics and language files, but that´s about it. The reason for this is that all those custom ROMs use the same basis.
Just take one of these from May/June, they´re "NoDo" ROMs, the older ones are the initial WP7 version without "copy/paste".

HD" WP7 update from first DFT release to some 7.5 ROM

Hi guys.. I know, this probably is a 1000-times-asked question, but I didn't find an easy answer...
I've got the first official DFT realease of WP7 on my HD2... never upgraded.
I'd like to put some 7.5 rom in my HD2... what should I do? Do I have to go back to WM6.5 and then flash WP7.5? Or can I just use a WP7.5 rom?
Could you point me to the correct threads, maybe?
