[Q]Dutch Elfin (ELF030050) got bricked although CID Unlock was performed - Touch GSM General

Hi,
I do not know why my first post got moved, maybe because I did not use a [q] in front of my question? I did use the search function but couldn't find a proper answer to my problem...
Yesterday I have flashed my Dutch Elfin. It was originally working on a Dutch T-Mobile branded ROM which I have successfully flashed to a German modified ROM.I performed the CID unlock as described in several tutorials before flashing the rom and everything went as it should.
However I tried flashing another English ROM which bricked my phone (dunno why). I am now in the red-gree-blue Screen with showing my IPL: 2.81.0002
and my SPL: 2.26.0000
Here are the device details before I bricked the phone:
Touch version : Elfin
Device ID : ELF030050
CID : T-MOB003
IPL : 2.81.0002
SPL : 2.20.0000pof
ROM Version : EPS.3.30.000.1
ExtROM Version : @ EPS GERMANY
Operator Version: None
AKU Version : By Piranha
Page Pool : 12 MB
RAM Size : 128 MB
ROM Size : 256 MB
Model No. : ELF0300
Part Number : 99HEL011-00
MCC+MNC : Not found
I have tried several original roms with most of them giving me a ERROR 270.
I managed to download a Dutch original Rom from the T-Mobile website (http://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/h...ch-update.aspx) This ROM gave me a ERROR 294 Invalid Vendor ID...
I have no idea what to do now and I hope you guys can help me out to save my phone.
Thanks a lot for your help!

You searched? There is a link to the troubleshooting thread, located in the Sticky at the top.. entitled "Avoid Confusion". Flash a Hard SPL from the bootloader and update your IPL.

Thank you for your reply dsixda,
UPDATE: I went through the whole tutoria. I do know my Device ID (ELF030050) and CID (T-MOB003) now and I have found the correct Rom:
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship_SPL2.26.exe
Device: ELF030050
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD
IPL/SPL: 2.26
I have downloaded that rom and tried to flash it onto the device. Now I get an error ERROR 294 (Invalid Vendor ID). The Wiki tells me that I have probably flashed an old USPL onto my device, somehow causing the device to be "half" CID-locked. Flash a newer IPL and Hard SPL onto your device is the advice that is given. My question is HOW? can I flash a newer ILS and Hard SPL onto my device, how does that work?

I think he means this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666 , read all what you can, don't panic and eventually you'll be fine
Good luck

Okay, I followed this manual. The update process came to 100% but in the end I got a Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR. I know that the tutorial says that I have to establish an Active Sync connection. My Active Sync tray icon is gray so I assume that there is no connection established. Is there a way to get the connection established even from the rgb bootloader screen?

How should I continue because the Hard SPL update process of came to 100% but in the end I got a Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR. What should I do next?

OK, lets try from the beginning, are you familiar with the procedure in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2415645&postcount=3 did you observe all the steps ?

Yes, for my first ROM update that went through successfully:
- I did install EnableRapi.Cab & Cert_SPC.Cab.
- no MicroSD Card was inserted
- Active Sync connection was established when I flashed
- then I ran flashed a German Modded ROM
The phone was working fine but I didn't like the Rom. So I flashed an English ROM that didn't go through and bricked my phone...

So try to cid unlock using this uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2416770&postcount=5 and don't forget sometimes it takes 2 or 3 shots

I can encourage his reply, you need to try several times before it will take effect. Also if you are able to use multiple computers, try some different computers as that also helped for me to unbrick my phone.

Okay,
I have actually done this once already (will try tonight again with different computers) and it didn't go through.
The update process came to 100% but in the end I got a Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR. As I said above already I know that I have to establish an Active Sync connection. However, my Active Sync tray icon is gray so I assume that there is no connection established. Is this important for my bricked device?
Also, does it matter which version I use? IPL_USPL_3.07.zip, IPL_3.10.zip or ELFIN_USPL_310.zip?

Offtopic: are you dutch ?

Is the update process showing on your computer or on your elfin ? if it's the latter it shows there's some kind of connection even if the icon is grey. 2nd question: on the bootloader do you see "usb" when you are connected ?

The update process is showing on my computer (going to 102%) as well as on my device (going to 100%).
I also see "USB" in my device when it is connected and the usual windows ding-dong.
How do you flash when you only have a single IPL310.nbh or ELFIN_USPL_310.nbh file? (And which one is the right one?)
So far I just copied the file into an old folder that I still have with the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Then I start ROMUpdateUtility.exe and the update process starts. However I always receive an Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR...

Try a new RUU, flash the uspl and after that the ipl (I have read ipl is less important or not at all ) and make sure in the ruu folder to have only one nbh file : yours

Okay, I have used an RUU from the [ROLLUP]AVOID cOnFuSiOn... Thread. I tried to flash ELFIN_USPL_310.nbh. The process starts an my PC Screen as well as on the phone. it goes to 100% on both devices but then I get an Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR. I have tried this now 5 times in a row but every time I get the same Error.
Then I also tried the IPL310.nbh with the same result (Error 270)... What am I doing wrong
My rgb bootloader screen still says IPL 2.81.0002 and SPL 2.26.0000

Try this, this was my first unlock attempt and it worked well the 2nd time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1964159&postcount=1
Don't loose hope

Or just flash the Unbricker ROM - have you tried that?

Dead P3300 Artemis...

Hi,
Does anyone knows a method for repairing my old P3300.
The problem is i've tried to upgrade to wm6 and something went wrong,
ATM i only have a screen with the Tmobile logo,
I can open the bootloader, but if i load the bootloader and try to run the official rom update i get the error 122 cannot connect to device.
If i'm in the bootloader and try to start mtty, it all goes as it is supposed to go
I can see the phone in mtty and can get it into flash mode when i enter the bootloader password.
Even when the phone is in this mode the official upgrade won't see the device.
So my question: is there a way to flash/upgrade the rom from mtty?
If yes what are the commands for it in mtty.
If not does anybody know an other solution?
Btw it's a sim unlocked and Cid unlocked P3300 From the Netherlands Tmobile.
IPL 1.13.0001
SPL 1.13.0000

sounds like you did't run the USPL before you burned your Rom, try and do a search on this in the forum, there are plenty of fixes to get your phones up and running again.
another tip, look at the wiki and download Tmobile UK/Ger version, that should do the trick at least to get your phone running, then make sure you do the USPL before you brick it again.

I did ran the USPL.
I took a look @ the wiki, but I think those files (all of them are less then 100k) are theme files.
"T-Mobile_NL_MDA_Compact_III_1.13.114.1_NLD_ExtROM"
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.0000
The USB is working
With the "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.6.3.1." from HTC I tried to get the MDA functional again.
In the Verify the ROM you want to update window it says this:
From:
Image version: -blank-
To
Image version 3.13.405.1
But after 2% sometimes 7%, it says this: "Error [244]:Invaild model ID".
So maybe the USPL didn't went well.
At the Artemis_Upgrades section of the wiki there isn't a T-Mobile file to download. The language doesn't matter to me.
Which device are you guys trying to flash with a new ROM, if its a UK T-Mobile device its not got the WiFi hardware so don't go putting a ROM on the device that expects WiFi support, T-Mobile Artemis units from Holland did have WiFi built in as does the true HTC P3300 unit, the UK T-Mobile device does not - Mike

ok hear'd this one many times before, your running vista >?
try and search the forum, there is a fix for this then your phone.
@Mike it's the "Dutch" version with indeed WiFi
@Neilhhardy
No, I'm not running Windows Vista at the moment.
Me too have the same problem - flash allways stop at 2% , also can`t flash radio - stop at 73-75% - any idea?
the phone is original HTC (have Wi-Fi and not branded) - never CID locked go to bootloader without any problems but can`t flasing - I think case problem is standart HTC flasher exe - for early models have different flasher software - I have Jaf WM but Jaf WM do not support Artemis - did have released other soft that alow flashing Artemis?
P.S - I thing cause right solution is to flash your device with original version - the OEM version that was instaled by factory will fix the problem
this worked for me on a unlocked mda compact 3
format your memory card first with your pc then copy the rom file (nbh)to your memorycard and rename it to ARTEIMG.nbh
start bootloader and follow the instructions.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._Card_Flashing
rom i used http://makus.folijka.pl/OrbitO2UK.rar
I found the right solution and fix my phone stop at 2% is hapenind when the phone was flashed before cid unlock (bricked) and can be restored ONLY with ORIGINAL version for that phone
1. go to www.htc.com then go to support area and register your headset by they own htc serial number!!! this is most important step!
2. download update soft - the supportsite know what exactly is rirgt version and language for your pda
3. Flash your phone and will be alive
4. USPL and make after that what you want with your headset
TESTED and WORKED for dead phones(but phone must go to the bootloader)
I did a reset with the rec, pwrbutton and resetbutton. And now he's up and running agian with WM6 Haha
I tried to unlock the device with the AthenaUnlocker, but I got this error:
0x0, 0x100000, SPL-verify.nb
I think I killed him lol

Artemis USPL v.01 upgrade error with 270 code, Please HEPL

Hi Profs,
there are some problems with a Artemis Update SPL (USPL) v.01. I've found this problem is several topic but there was no solution for it.

The problem:
use USPL to get rid of the CID....count goes up to 100% screen shows black with green text, then pops to white. I need to do a soft reset to get it running again.
Then i use ROM Update Utility to update my p3300....and it still keeps hanging on 3%....damn. i get mad...!! Have read almost all here online...no virusscanner, no firewall....I use win XP.
i even tried without memory card and phone card....and nothing seems to work.......
ipl 1.14.0001
spl 1.14.0000
gsm 02.07.90
os 1.14.0.0
Who has any clue...?
With other words:
I've just got back my P3300 from repair, they changed the main board. With the previous main board I was able to upgrade the device and I was using the B&B versions.
But with this new board I'm not able to upgade the SPL. When I try to upgade the device after and start the start_uspl .exe the 10...20... ....100 my device become an interresting "blue screen" status and only the reset help to get out from this status. If I start the RomUpdateUtility.exe after the upgrade I got the error message #270
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.000
GSM: 02.94.90
ROM version: 3.13.405.1.WWE
ROM date: 8/28/07
ExtROM version: 3.12.405.102
This is not the solution for the problem. I've tried it:
Plug in USB cable. Hold voice recorder button and press reset button. Bootloader will appear (Three color stripes). Then you may flash up ROM. (This works only for RUU installation types, not for PDAmobiz modified installator) Original english HTC P3300 ROM you may download form here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...temis_Upgrades ....
Please help us to solve this problem....
Probably the same problem
This should be the same:
Hello POF,
I was directed to this link by Rudegar because I want to change the french ROM to English ROM.
The relevant data of my PDA is:
The version of the ROM: 1.14.406.1 FRE
Date of ROM: 9/27/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ROM extension version: 1.14.406.101
I tried exactly the way you described in the USPL_manual and everything went well till I got to a stage where I was asked to click the update button which I did. After then there was a window which showed "updating from current version to version 9.99". I was confused at this point but clicked "continue" and after this stage I got an error message and there was no longer a connection bw my PDA and my computer.
Thanks,
Jonat

Problem "lost connection PDA-PC"
Hi,
first I would like to thank you for goooood job to many people here !
Back to my problem. I have HTC Artemis (T-Mobile MDA Compact III), OS WM6 T-Mobile Czech version.
I ran start_uspl.exe on my computer. The part in DOS based screen seems to finish everytime OK, but finally the connection with PC is lost. Therefore when the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility starts cheking version the error "lost connection with PC" appears . PDA stay in "black screen" mode and only hard reset start it again as usual.
Does anybody have the same problem? Any idea, how to solve it ?
Thanks

When the screen goes white, don't restart. Just start flashing to the new ROM. Worked for me
Unfortunately it not a white screen, it a black one, connenction lost with the PC, and only the reset PDA helps to restart the unit again....

Same situation as above. Depending on the Artemis, the screen might go white or black. Just don't freak out and keep on flashing the USPL. It WILL work and then reboot. Then you can flash the actual ROM you want.
Hello from an absolut newbie trying his first upgrade,
And I have just experienced the same problem than lenocs.
I have run start_uspl.exe, but when the screen is suposed to become white or dark, it becomes dark and the artemis is in fact totally off and connection is lost.
Anyway I supossed that it was because the scrren got black and I tried to run the update utility, but I´ve got an error (the terminal is disconnected or similar) and nothing happens.
I have had to soft reset the terminal and fortunatelly it seems that I still have my previous ROM and it seems that it works. But, do you know if there could be some "side effect" because the first step of start_uspl script?
Anyway I would like to move to WM6, so, any suggestion would be really appreciated.
Thank's a lot
When you restart, what is the USPL number?
Ooopppssss!
I didn't pay attention.
As I've said, I'm a newbie, so I was just woried because I thought I had "bricked" my new atemis.
How can I know now the USPL number?
Anyway I tried the star_uspl again (I'm a crazy newbie) and it failed. The artemis went off almost inmediately.
Thank you very much for your help

I think the problem is in SPL version 3.13 (or maybe anyone newer than 1.11).
Try different Artemis USPL - for me worked version from this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms
It's very confusional, because file sizes and also dates are the same as in unfunctional version, but this one worked.
Hope it'll help you as it helped to me.
Maybe this can help you
I bought a 8gb card the week before, so I needed to update the rom in order to have my new SDHC working. But whn I was trying to update the rom, through UPSL 1.1, I had an error. This was the first time I had an error because I have modified the room many times before. My error was about a CMD.EXE issue, something like Error code line 26 "can´t spawn cmd.exe" so I was not able to change my rom. What I did was to copy CMD.EXE from Windows/System32 and put in the same folder where I had the start_uspl file, and finally works!
Do not ask me why, but this was the only way I could make works the update process.
Just try.

do u have ur card in the phone while updating
you are suppose to remove the card
Problem solved (for me)
Hi,
i had the same problem error 270, 3% and lost connection with Activesync.
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.000
GSM: 02.94.90
ROM version: 3.13.405.1.WWE
ROM date: 8/28/07
any way to upgrade was wrong ->> error 270
My good way was:
1. Downgrade to WM5 - original shipped ROM 1.12.405.1(link found on Wiki pages)
2. Under WM5 run USPL to unlock CID (now without any errors)
3. Final STEP - Upgrade to new ROM Artemis Touch 3.01 (without any errors by upgrade)
))
Now my Artemis seems to be OK.
I ran USPL with storage card inside the device...
no problem
switch SD card back to 2GB or smaller before USPL
Hi,
for me USPL did not work with my SDHC 8GB card but then I switched back to my previous 2GB SD card and then it works.
Perhaps the SDHC driver blocks USPL in some way.
Cheers,
Markus
i have been trying for 3 months
once i have upgraded my artemis to wm 6.0 everything seemed to be OK for two days... then the screen started to go black when i restart... şi downgraded to 5.0 but nothing changed... when i remove battery for a while, my arte works... when i try to do anything with it, the screen slowly goes black as if it is broken... please DO HELP ME! i am going to go mad... i have a new iphone, ihave i kaiser as well... but i miss my artemis very much...
Hello:
I have the same problem and realized hundereds have too. I have been checking in all forums and no asolution to it
The issue that happens to me is that I used USPL for upgrading to WM6 and worked, but now for the Touchflo it does not. Tried with all USB ports, tried with different computers and no good news.
The USPL msdos screen indicates that there is no connection at all in all percentage levels, then it bocomes dark and the 260 error whne installing the rom.
please help us soon !!!
we are in trouble!!
Same Problem : Screen shut down
Anybody can help us on this point ?
The only way to solve it is to remove the batterie during 30 min., then put it back and pray...
Then, for no reason, the screen shut down, a few minutes or days after
I've upgrade from WM5 to WM6 with the original Rom of HTC, it seems a little more stable but it shut down every 2 days when i'm lucky

I think I killed my elf0100, Help ?

I don't mind paying someone who would help me revive this device
The device is a HTC ELF0100 locked to movistar spain
I tried to unlock it with the following files
Cert_SPCS.cab
EnableRapi.cab
Touch_Unlock.zip
I got a 8 digit code that would not work.
I then tried unlocking with ELF_USPL-v1.zip. This is where things went wrong. The device did not upgrade ok.
Now the device just shows the operator logo for a few seconds then switches off.
It sometimes goes into booloader mode. And I could gather the following information

Thanks bro for their contact details. Normally they are very unco-operative with phones that have been tampered with or if they know you tried to unlock it. Also we are near the weekend and I need this phone working before monday.
Now I really do not want to unlock it, just wanna revive it.
I cannot even go a hard reset now

I don't mind paying someone who would help me revive this device
The device is a HTC ELF0100 locked to movistar spain
I tried to unlock it with the following files
Cert_SPCS.cab
EnableRapi.cab
Touch_Unlock.zip
I got a 8 digit code that would not work.
I then tried unlocking with ELF_USPL-v1.zip. This is where things went wrong. The device did not upgrade ok.
Now the device just shows the operator logo for a few seconds then switches off.
It sometimes goes into booloader mode. And I could gather the following information
IPL 2.20.0002
SPL 1.11.0000
Please help, I just want to revive this device now. I don't care about unlocking !

This should help.
Ok bro, I'll try this and before that let me just thank you !
you have flashed wrong spl and ipl, let me know you want an english rom or spanish rom. you will have to flash original rom, in order to revive your device, is it with 64 mb RAM or 128 MB ram, then i will let you know what to do.

Thanks bro. I need a spanish rom. I really do not know if it's 64 or 128 ram. Do I have to open the device?
go to following forum- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379034 and download following rom--RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1B_4.1.13.51_03.0 7.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe, connect device to computer via usb cable and press camera button and power button together, a tricolor bootloader will appear on device screen, now run the downloaded rom. This is english rom, you can search any original spanish rom if available in above post and flash it afterwards, but initially bring your device to life with the rom i have mentioned above.
Ok, gagandeepbains. I'll be back with the results. Thanks bro!

Thanks bro that worked like a charm! Any idea how I get the spanish language back? Now the device is in english
I regret not reading before doing what I did and going through the entire mess.
Thanks again mate
you can try ROM 2.20.214.1 ESN (Windows Mobile 6.1 - SO CE 19214 - Build 19214 aku 1.0.4) or any other you like at -- http://www.htcspain.com/foro-f30/guia-de-roms-para-htc-equot-touch-sequot-t4576.html , but you must cid unlock device before flashing.
Thanks for the quick reply bro. I tried Cert_SPCS.cab, EnableRapi.cab, and Touch_Unlock.zip files which gave me an incorrect code.
Any other way to unlock this? Any way to change language if I cannot unlock the device ?
go to following page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637, and download file-USPL_2.28.0000.zip . Unzip this file in a folder on desktop and replace RUU_Signed.nbh file in RUU folder with that of downloaded rom's RUU_Signed.nbh file. install enable_rapi and cert_spc files already with you to device memory, soft reset device and remove its sim card and memory card. Run the elf-uspl.exe file extracted in folder on your desktop after connecting the powered on device to computer, and follow on screen instructions.
Hey I followed your instructions, I got errors on the first two occassions. Process completed successfully the third time. The handset is still locked with language english.

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

I doubt that you tried all the possibilities mentioned in post 7 from the link I gave you before, but if you did and nothing worked then I can't see what will...Sorry mate but before you call it dead, try a 2nd time and 3rd,
Good luck.

If you are able to enter the bootloader tricolor screen and you see that you have indeed USPL 2.26 installed, then you should be able to flash anything you want!
Fully charge your pda
Remove your memory card and SIM card
Connect via usb, enter bootloader and flash the Rom you want with the RomUpdateUtility.exe
WARNING
Since you don't have HardSPL but USPL be extra careful NOT to flash a Rom that includes SPL cause then your device mightwill get CID locked.
If the above steps don't get you with a working device, then better check if the USPL really worked.
A safe way to find out if your CID unlocking worked is following this method & check the line:
Code:
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = ?
;If ?=0 => Touch=CID_Unlocked => Able to flash any ROM or Radio Update through Bootloader
;If ?=FF => Touch=CID_Locked => Try CID_Unlocking again BEFORE flashing anything
