After Flashing a Rom, cannot turn on the device

After flashing this rom : [Rom][WM6.5][27 Aug'09]New Elfin ROM With Latest build 23034 Xip/Sys
The device stay in the 'smart mobility' screen,
I can't even boot it up first time
I can't turn it on so how can flash back other rom?
Can someone tell me what can I do?
Please Help me. thank you

You can use this Unbricker ROM ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2913636#post2913636. It's the easyest way, without using other WM devices. It worked for me.
You can also use the Elf/Elfin Unbricker (Gold Card) ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437996. Hadn't tried this one though.
Hope that I helped.

A user of this forum, 911sniper, provided us with an HTC test-only ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=735
Alternate download link:
http://www.neufgiga.com/n/50-17/shar...492127a54134b/
Alternate download link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/82315205/ea440324/RUU.html
IMPORTANT: Read the steps below before flashing!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a ROM that can potentially overwrite and/or unbrick a device with an original (non-patched) SPL. It has a wildcard for Model ID (ELF0*****) and CID (11111111).
I don't have a bricked Elf but I tested it with an original CID-locked SPL and it overwrote it and flashed a new generic HTC ROM with the following:
IPL 2.11.1002
SPL 2.11.1000 MFG
ROM version: 2.11.0. WWE
ROM date: 08/14/07
Radio: 02.98.90
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Here are the steps to make it work:
Quote:
Download this ROM from the link above
Two ways to flash:
Rename the file to ELF0IMG.nbh if you want to flash from SD card (you must format the card to FAT32 first)
Put the ROM in a RUU folder that contains the RomUpdateUtility.exe. You must remove any other .NBH files in that folder first.
Start your bricked Elf in bootloader mode (hold down camera button and reset). If you are using the SD card, it should flash right away.
NOTE: If the device flashed successfully but is now stuck at the new boot screen, you are still ok. Now you can flash ANY shipped ROM at the bootloader (if you have an Elfin, flash only an Elfin shipped ROM) and your device will be running again. If you can't flash a shipped ROM after successfully flashing the Unbricker ROM, then make a Gold Card and follow the steps in that thread.
NOTE: If the Unbricker ROM doesn't work then make a Gold Card and use it again on that card.
NOTE:
One thing I noticed is that you cannot use the white screen method (elf-uspl.exe) after you flash this ROM. If you try that, then the message "Not in use" pops up under the penguin. However, you can flash ANY shipped ROM from bootloader after this unbricker ROM has been flashed. From there, you can do white screen method and then flash the Hard-SPL/USPL/cooked ROM.

Telstra Nodo Rom for Telstra HD7???
Hi Ansar....Loving your work mate.
I noticed you have used the Telstra HD7 'nodo' rom as a base for a few variants.
Is there any chance your could sign one so it can actually load on to the Telstra HD7. I a demo Telstra HD7 in need of an update to nodo.
I tried the SEA releases using the CV 841 but to no avail and was hoping you could realse a signed one that will owrk on a the 841 variant.
Cheer.

NoDo ROM SEA_2.20.841.02
I was able to use DFT's RSPL & HSPL successfully and I by coincidence reflashed my HD7 with RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
Now, my SPL version is 1.57 (not available in DFT's RSPL list) so I want to change it to 2.20 (which is available in DFT's RSPL list) by using these two ROMs but was unsuccessful (followed your instructions correctly)
I got ERROR [244] Invalid Model ID
Why is that?

Hi there. how can I install this coming from deepshining rom?

[ROM][RECOVERY] HTC Desire 820q Dual Sim

Here is the STOCK ROM and STOCK RECOVERY for HTC DESIRE 820q Dual Sim
For those guys who have flashed custom recovery on their D820q dual sim and are searching for stock one, here I provide you the links for both the Stock Recovery and the Stock Rom.
Credits :
* EZN-74 for the Recovery he had provided me and I have flashed it on my D820q and it worked.
* fergy for providing the Stock Rom/Firmware. However I didn't test the Rom and I don't know if it will work with other than the Indian Variant of D820q Dual Sim. (BTW I don't know much about flashing this Rom)
Downloads :
* STOCK RECOVERY
(Before flashing, I suggest you to rename the recovery from recovery 820q.img to just recovery.img)
* STOCK ROM
* I think most of you know how to flash the recovery as you have already flashed the custom ones. And for the Noobs who don't know how to flash, can flash the recovery provided by me by using the commands as provided HERE
** Do at your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your device or void your warranty **
HOW TO GET INTO STOCK RECOVERY
1. Flash the stock recovery
2. Turn on device and untick Fast boot from Settings >Power and then Power off
3. Hold Vol Down + Power to get into HBOOT menu
4. Scroll to Recovery option using volume keys and use power button to select
5. The device will display the Recovery icon with an Exclamation mark
6. Wait 10 seconds and Hold Vol Up and then press Power button
7. And Boom, you get into recovery.:good:
Don't forget to Hit that Thanks button
CURRENTLY I DON'T OWN THIS DEVICE, SO THIS THREAD IS PROBABLY CLOSED.

this post should not be in original android developement. This thread is for posting something that u developed urself. Kindly ask mods to move it so that people are not mislead. When i saw this post i thought it contains a custom recovery for 820q. :sad:

bro the stock rom you posted is not flashable by any recovery. It doesnt contain updater script at all. It contains boot.img, and some .hdr files. but not even system.img. Frankly speaking, i dont know how to flash this. If you know it please help me out

I think it should be flashed through Recovery Mode.

How to Flash RUU(for HTC Desire 820q Dual SIM):
1- Download the *.zip(RUU) file from here:
ir-file.com/portal/index.php?dir=Firmware/HTC/HTC_Android/A50_DTUL
Note: The zip will not extract, you have to use it directly without extracting. So don't bother trying to extract the zip, it will always give you error.
2- Rename the file to "0PF6IMG.zip"
3- Put the file on SD card and insert it into mobile!
4- Reboot into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to update.
Note: Turn off your phone, press and hold POWER and VOL DOWN.
5- Press VOL UP to say yes.
6- Wait about 20-30 minutes!
7- Done! You've flashed RUU file successfully!
BTW I tested this RIGHT NOW on my phone and it works!
I used this: 0PF6IMG_A50_DTUL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_hTC_Asia_India_1.01.720.2_Radio_01.01.010_U1030433_08.01.1017_release_398545_combined_signed.zip

yup it works, but will this work on a bricked Htc? One guy told me you can flash this after renaming it to firmware.zip using-
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Can you try this and post back? I want to build a rom for this device but i dont have the official firmware which i can use to unbrick it (if it the phone bricks). Official Rom files like system.img, boot.img and recovery.img are not available for this device anywhere on internet, i have been searching since 2 months but i got only this 0PXXIMG which you and OP posted. (i got the same file on other websites after searching a LOT)

bro,
I have locked htc desire 820 dual sim with off debugging option. Its boatloader has been corrupted and it cant show boater options. Any help??

yeah I also tried that but didn't work! (The problem is our "*.zip" RUU file is to large to be transferred through fastboot USB! the error was something like this: the file is to large!)
And also, if a device is bricked(hard bricked; not soft bricked), you cannot use fastboot commands! Because you can't access bootloader to use fastboot and "fastboot oem rebootRUU"!

i mean, if bootloader is accessible, does this work on a device which has a custom rom installed (or in general, on a modified system).

If you access bootloader, you can use both ways!(either you have stock or custom ROM) But I guess the "fastboot" method does not work with 1.0 GB files or larger!

And you are right regarding file size limit, fastboot allows only files upto 256mb on moto e. I dont know if this is an issue with fastboot our with device under consideratron.

Well, it is good to now that someone finally tested this rom and it worked.

[ GUIDE ] [ Marshmallow Firmware Upgrade ROM install including ViperOneM9 4.x.x ]

Dummy friendly guide how to upgrade, flash and install the latest Marshmallow Firmware and the latest ROM’s such as the ViperOne ROM 4.x.x, this guide is intended for those who are already slightly familiar with the flashing process and have previously managed to flash a ROM on their HTC One M9 device…
CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING:
1) Phone is S-OFF
2) Unlocked Bootloader
3) Rooted
4) Latest TWRP recovery
5) SUPER CID changed to 11111111
6) External SD Card
7) NANDROID Backup and any or every other form of backup
8) Device drivers, Android SDK Platform Tools including ADB & FASTBOOT.
9) USB Debugging enabled.
10) BACK UP OF ALL YOUR DATA !!!
Before we begin make sure you back up all your data on both the internal and external SD card.
For the purpose of this tutorial we will be installing the latest ViperOneM9 ROM…
a) Downloaded and place the latest ViperOne ROM - ViperOneM9_4.x.x.zip on your External SD card,
Main Thread by j to the 4n is found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-viperonem9-1-0-0-tweaks-hub-t3072773
Latest ViperOne ROM for download is here:
http://venomroms.com/htc-one-m9/
b) If you are currently on ViperOneM9 3.5.0 or older and wish to upgrade to the latest 4.x.x than the latest Marshmallow firmware is required (3.35.401.12 or 3.35.617.12 firmware)… This can be found here and within Sneakyghost original thread.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZaiJ3F_f76sVa4daU5H62OYi5Bj23LEBBv4xDTQ8y-M/pubhtml
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-t3068243
Now download the latest version of either:
NO WIPE ZIP
or
FULL STOCK WIPE ZIP
For this tutorial we will use the FULL STOCK WIPE ZIP (to archive a clean install – this will wipe everything on your phone excluding the External SD card)
c) Place the downloaded M9_3.35.401.12_FullStock_wipe.zip into your Android SDK Platform Tools Folder (for example C:\Android\ if this is where all your tools are found)
d) Download the latest version of TWRP recovery from
http://www.teamw.in/devices/htconem9.html
Place the downloaded twrp-2.8.7.0-hima.img in your Android SDK Platform Tools Folder
e) Once you are 101% ready to begin the process start by connecting your device and launching the command window (hold shift, right click in window with all the required ADB/FASTBOOT aps and select "open command window here) once the black terminal window appears start by typing in
adb devices
if your phone appears in the list we can continue by typing:
adb reboot download
wait a few seconds for the screen to appear and type:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
your phone should now be in the RUU mode with a silver HTC logo, now type
(if you renamed the original file type its current name, by default it is as follows)
fastboot flash zip M9_3.35.401.12_FullStock_wipe.zip
f) you will most likely receive something like this towards the end after running the above command...
FAIL90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediate
FAILED (remote: FAIL90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediate)
For "hboot-preupdate" response, restart the same procedure for device...
just type the above command again and phone will flash the update again and hopefully it will take at least a minute or more to complete, hopefully there will be no more errors, just in case repeat the above command... Just in case you do see errors try looking them on Sneakyghost's thread found here
g) Once this is done and everything passed than we have successfully upgraded our firmware to Marshmallow... Since we selected the FULL STOCK WIPE option we need to flash TWRP once again (as it was wiped) and don't bother resetting or hoping for the phone to boot normally as it won’t...
(if you renamed the original file type its current name, by default it is as follows)
Type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-hima.img
and once it’s done
adb reboot-bootloader
*if for any reason you need to reset your phone and gain access to the bootloader menu, download mode, recovery etc. you can always do this manually by holding vol up, vol down and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds to reset the device, to get into the bootloader, recovery, download mode etc. After the phone resets continue holding the vol down and power button until you reach the bootloader menu.
*if you type adb devices and you see multiple devices or emulators that prevent the commands from working I suggest running the following:
adb kill-server
adb devices
Now only your connected device should appear…
h) It is now time to enter our recently flashed recovery to finally install our latest ROM.
Enter the recovery manually or by typing
adb reboot recovery
From there you may select the wipe option (swipe to factory Reset) and proceed to the Install section, browse for your ROM file and select it.
i) Within Aroma installer select all your preferred options and begin to install, once the flashing completes your device should reboot and now you keep your fingers crossed and wait (will take several minutes so just be patient…. And DONE!!! You now have the latest Marshmallow firmware and ViperOneM9 ROM installed.
#Please note that I’m no expert when it comes to these matters, this guide is here to help anyone who is unsure what to do, I tried to write it up the best way possible (sorry that there are no fancy pictures) if there any errors or issues with my methods please feel free to correct them but so far they worked for me and hopefully will also work for you. (This guide will also help you flash other ROM's) If you need more help please feel free to ask, there is always someone here on xda who knows the answers 

Excellent write up !!
Many thanks !!!....g

Very nice writeup. Just got an M9 for the wife. I've been around the block so I get everything, but I've been away from HTC since the One X...well, there's the N9 but it's a nexus. What are the RUU mode and Download mode. If I remember correctly there was only the bootloader to go to on the One X. If it's complicated is there somewhere I can read about the modes?

Can you write instructions for s-on and unlocked boatloader? Thanks.

Excellent write-up! For extra-completeness, could you please cover changing the mid in android-info and dealing with error 22 (stuff about headers). I'm still fighting that one...
Thanks for your time.

Have you received the official Marshmallow OTA yet on your device? the S-OFF method is available for those who don't want to wait for official updates, I will gladly write up a S-ON method once more people receive the official update...

Also try the following as error 22 was not covered in the error handling section...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59783531&postcount=3
Download 7zip, open the zip inside of the program, right click on the Android text file and open within. Change the mid to yours hit save. It will ask if you want to update the zip, hit yes. Then try and flash.
SneakyGhosts post explains this:
Error 22 is new to me too but the string is kind of self explanatory: every archive has a header where the archive-program finds info about what type of archive and what compression. If the error says anything about this header, the logical conclusion is either a corrupted, broken archive or an unsupported archive type.
I suspect the latter simply due to the fact that the zip was unpacked and repacked, which then easily creates an incompatible zip.

because you need the latest firmware in order to install 4.x.x and the only way to get the latest firmware is via the OTA or by flashing it with the s-off method.

I'm still kind of "fuzzy" on this whole firmware thing.... IF I don't want to wait (on ATT) and IF I go S-OFF, which firmware can I/should I use for Marshmallow?

this is too not resut

Hello and thank you very much for this useful download link
During the rooting method, my phone (nova 2 plus) became soft brick!
I tried to solve it!
I've done following steps but they didn't work (with your full rom - was linked):
1.
1.1. extract .zip file with winrar
1.2. extract update.app file using HuaweiUpdateExtractor
1.3. Put all extracted file to sd-card
1.4. power+volume up + volume down to update it but after 5 percent, appears "update fail"
2.
2.1. extract .zip file with winrar
2.2. extract update.app file using HuaweiUpdateExtractor
2.3. Flash the rom via fastboot (it completed successfully without any errors but phone reboot loop till huawei logo)
Now my questions:
1. The extracted file doesn't have "cust.img" is it OK or it should have it?
2. What can I do to solve my problem? (I've access fastboot and custom recovery)
Thanks for your patience and your answering.

Well.. If u wipedbsystem thats mean there is no system files in your mobile...
There is 2bways tonsolve this
1.send it to repair it will cost you money.
2. The way i used.
A. Download a full firmware its in here someone shared it.
B.u need at least 8 giga sdcard and formated.
D. Move firmware to sdcard and reboot to huawei recovery.
E. Everything in your mobile will be wiped and restored to stuck
Hope your problem will be solved

dont extract update.app , just make dload folder in your sd card and put update.app in it .
