[Q]ELF Clone? - Touch GSM General

Hello everybody,
i have become a HTY Hantel Q5 Mobile from a friend.
On the Mobile is WinMobile 6.1. Is there a way to become a German WinMobile on The Phone. On The Back is a Cover with elf0100.
Is that Mobile a ELF Clone?
Thanks for your help
Greats
Jürgen

If it's oryginal HTC you will see "made in taiwan"

no, made in China.
Also the mobile have a another disign as a elf. Only in the Batterycover stand elf0100

This is not an ELF it even does not look the same and has very different specs as the flash , FM radio etc. So you cannot upgrade it by roms in this forum or you will brick
Chinese ELF clone look like this http://www.soundasia.com/china/WiFi-Cell-Phone-40/cect-S1-327.html
BTW : Not all htc original devices are made in Taiwan , mine is made in china and was bought from the main htc dealer and its serial is accepted online at htc site to download rom upgrades.

Samsung i617 (Blackjack II) ROM

Hello masters
I was wondering if there is any ROM/Firmware upgrade for the Samsung i617 - Blackjack 2
I couldn't find while searching
Thanks!!!
Might not have much luck on this site:
"Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names."
Samsung doesn't rebrand HTC phones I don't think. Not saying you won't, but I would try Modaco or something.
Will do,
thanks for the help

HTC or SonyEricsson ??

Hello
For the first time here, I´ve sold my HTC-touch and are asking your opinion what model will be my next phone?
I´m sure it will be a win-phone again, but what model?
HTC Diamond
HTC Pro
SonyEricsson X1
diamond is cheap,pro is about £300,xperia is over £500 inebay
i have xperia fully unlocked/de branded,i'm willing to sell it for ?£450.
but they all the same,diamond is smaller without keyboard and built in 4gb as well.
still non can come close to iphones touch screen and user interface!!
unfortunately xy_kolla is right. WM is the best but touch screen interface is zero compared with Iphone. I suggest to buy WM with Keyboard.

News: Is htc iolite... = htc touch find????? If so i upgraded the rom of a iolite !!!

Hello everybody...
I live in Italy and a little ago one of the greatest Italian telephone company called "TIM" was selling the HTC TOUCH FIND branded TIM that was almost equal (in terms of hardware) to the HTC TOUCH CRUISE (POLARIS or P3650).
A simple question:
Is this "IOLITE" the same phone of the TOUCH FIND?
I mean it looks identical from the pictures...and if so... the good news for you having the Iolite is that
...I used SPL OLIPRO v2.0 to unlock it and the 3LIT3 Rom to upgrade it and they worked very well without any problem!!
Goodbye to everybody
HTC Touch Find = Iolite
It´s right, the same device, you can read this here.
Greetings Mirko
edit: Was read not right, it is not the same device. Sorry for my bad italian ;-)
Nope
Nope, it's just a Polaris with rounded edges. Qualcomm MSM7200 with 400MHz CPU vs Iolite's 528MHz MSM7225, RAM/ROM 128/256MB vs Iolite's 256/512. Buttons on sides, front camera - definetely a Polaris.
Sweat styling though, we've inherited it's concept I guess.

When will Windows 6.5 upgrade be available?

Hi guys,
Anybody has any news about the ROM upgrade for our topaz? It's 6th of October here in Malaysia but so far, no news. I heard Windows Marketplace is opened! I have checked the Taiwan website but yet still no news. I know Orange UK has announced that their ROM will be available only on the 12th.
Anyone has any other news?
I am looking for that answer too.
I sent an email to HTC asking about it. So far no news.
It is 15.57 here in Sydney.
I'm waiting aswell. I want to try out a official release from HTC. But I'll probably stick with the coocked roms seeing that a lot of the wm 6.5 phones here in the US are shipping with the old touchflo3D.
Can I ask a question guys....if I install the official ROM that comes out later do I still have to HardSPL it?
If you are still on the stock ROM and have not HSPL's then technically no you do not have to HSPL. As long as HTC posts an update for your phones original country of origin on the tech area of that countries site than you're good to go.
If the serial does not work you might consider HSPLing your phone and using the official rom when someone uploads it in the ROM development section. Doing a HSPL is quick and painless. Cooked Roms rule.
Ok this is what I got.
"Thank you for contacting HTC Service Support. Regarding your inquiry, much as we would like to provide you with the information unfortunately we still do not have the details yet. No information has been provided to when will the WM 6.5 upgrade for HTC Touch Diamond 2 be available. However if there will be any, it will be for free and can be downloaded form the HTC site. For now we really can’t tell since before upgrade is being provided, our technical department has to do series of tests and research first. Also any upgrades for a particular handset model are based on the demand of the Telecom Provider."
So, I guess we have to wait.
The upgrade for German Vodafone devices are on the support page of HTC Germany if anyone is looking for it.
Can't be like that
HTC have had months to get this into place so I find it hard to believe that we will not get the updates today. If that is the case then HTC have done very poorly in that case. Whilst other phones are coming with 6.5 I cannot see why the Diamond 2 shouldn't have an update on the day of release.
Updating your phone to Windows Mobile 6.5
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx#phoneList
Your link didnt work!
Works fine for me but no mention of TD2, just 3 other HTC.
No phones have dates listed yet.
John
Just had an email from HTC and I quote... "we are awaiting confirmation from the software manufacture if the handset will receive an approved license or not"... I have a question.. why did HTC promise a wm6.5 upgrade if they are unsure if they can do it?!
I don't realy know if that is the problem. If you go to the Hong Kong windows phone webpage you will see that microsoft itself is promoting the upgrade.
So I can't see any reason why of why it is not out yet. Maybe they want to release it toguther with the American market. It is very early in the morning there yet.
I just checked on the Polish HTC site, but it looks like they do not know about that fact, that the upgrade should be today.
What is even better the customer service line number in Poland - when dialled - tells me "There is no such number!!"
This, I think, is outrageous & the HTC headquarters' guys should think with whom they cooperate in my beautiful country !!!!!!!
B-R-A-V-I-S-S-I-M-O HTC - worse can you not serve !!!

Polish 6.5 upgrade will be available on this page: http://sunnysoft.com/htc/
I don't get how there was a Vodafone branded 6.5 ROM listed on the German HTC site on the 4th and everyone else (who paid top dollar) with a network free phone has to wait indefinately for the official ROM......and I thought HTC were improving their customer support

That is what annoys me.. that we paid for our phones.. yet they have NO clue about what is going on with Windows Mobile 6.5! I should really buy out that firm and organise them properly!

[Q] Which ROM for my mobile?

Hi, My dad gifted me a PPC with WM6.1. The brand it's a weird one, no ones knows it and I can't find a ROM for it and I really want to change it. If you tell me what ROM to use, is better. Maybe a spanish or english ROM (because the phone have a portuguese one) and I want to change the language too.
I also don't know how to put the ROMs in the phone, but first I need it.
My phone have this specifications:
(IMAGES IN ATACHMENTS)
I dont know if I can change the OS, If I can please tell me. I'm really new to this.
Thanks for your time and maybe help

It's not an HTC or Samsung, the brand it's now known.
The phone is BAK, model BK-MP12GPS.
EDIT: If it's an HTC, Samsung, LG or whatever, I would search the rom for that phone, but it don't have a known brand, so I put the specificatios for you to tell me if some phone have the same and put the rom of that phone into mine.
I've been seaching on the internet and found that the LG Incite have the same screen resolution (WQVGA 240x400), same RAM and ROM (128mb - 256mb).
I will continue looking for some similar phones.Please tell me something: If I put the LG Incite ROM in my phone, will it work?
You won't get your phone to take an LG ROM. There is more to it than screen size and RAM/ROM.
Looks like your phone is a Brazilian made smartphone.
http://www.bakinternational.com/
At least, they make phones and have similar model #'s. I could not find your specific model # on their site though. Still, it might help you to know where your phone came from. Looks like you might be checking Brazilian forums???
If it is made in Brazil and they export it to other South American countries there MUST be Spanish language ROMs out there.
Good luck.

Thanks for your answers but when you turn on the phone it says BAK INTERNATIONAL JAPAN, so I dont really think they make them in Brazil. The phone was in the page, but with the last update, they deleted.
I've found another site - a Celular Varejista (Cell Phone Retailer) That is all in Portuguese and under BAK they list your device along with other models from the company I linked before.
http://celulares.mercadolivre.com.br/bak/bak-todos-os-modelos/mp12_Qshow_30
Does this look like your device?
If so it sems to belong to a series: MP 10, MP 12, MP 15... The 10 and 15 are still listed on the http://www.bakinternational.com/ site, but the MP 12 is not. Loks like there is no manufacturer's support for your specific model.
Maybe it is a Japanese import into Brazil (???), but I can't find any BAK in Japan.
