After flashing from sd card with a german big Storage rom and a soft reset, the phone doesn't switch on anymore.
I can't go into the bootload either.
What can i do now to bring back my rom bachup?
thanks!
When you can't go into bootloader you've probably killed it. Pls try once more & connect it with usb or ac to charge.
You need to be in bootloader to rescue it, a shipped-rom works best in this situation.
Still got warrenty, use it claiming it's cause by regular TMO update.
Cheers, M
the phone, doesn't react at all.. so if i can't get into the bootload, i will have to change it?
Is there any other possibility to reactivate it, or to boot the broken rom?
The bootloader is the most important part of the rom, so when even that's part is corrupt I see no repair possibilities other than chip swapping.
You'll have to send it back. Try out the warrenty issue, when the rom is this much damaged I can hardly belief that a service engineer can see what caused it.
Hope the best for you, M
You don't know someone in your neighborhood with a magician too? Or Live close to Arnheim. So you can try another battery, it might be empty & not charging.
No, the battary is fine, i've just got a new one on friday form Warrenty-Service, because of a broken speaker, so i'll send it away again..
I've read about some others that had same problems with that rom, and surprisingly there were people, where that rom is working well, i just don't belive that, because i did erverything right and it should've worked...
now i'm worried weather i should try it again with an other rom when i recive a new phone, or leave it as it is! :lol:
P.S: Thank you very much for your help!!!
Is the Bootloader a part of the rom, or is it an independent prog. on the phone?
The bootloader is a special part of the rom. Pls visit the wiki for complete explanation http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician
There's a bootloader section & a section about BS from a shipped-rom which is in my opinion the safest way to achieve BIG Storage.
Hope they fix your magician soon.
Cheers, M
Since morning i'm trying to find the link where i can download the WM6 undergroud version. Actually i tried installing WM6 Most beautiful, but i'm getting Update error [302] after 95% of installation. Mine is a G3 phone with IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26

The dreaded 95% error... He's right. Your Wizard is still CID locked.
Follow this thread to get your device CID unlocked and then try flashing WM6 again.

If only we were all so rich... When I first started, I downloaded a WM6 Rom I found on this forum but read nothing... Tried to flash it, phone went to bootloader immediately afterwards and would do nothing else. I called T-Mobile and they sent me to the place on T-Mobile.com where I could get the official Rom download and was able to restore my MDA to life again but not until I had read about 20 different threads, did I attempt it again.
Thats the problem with some people here. They don't read and just assume that because they're a Software Dev that they automatically know everything or think that because they're pretty computer savvy that they know what they're doing or think that because they had their device for a few months that they're automatically an expert... It's annoying to tell you the truth because the only real way to learn is through a lot of reading, or trial and error and thats how everyone here has to learn.
I read this forum for a few MONTHS before I flashed my device, and I'm glad I did. Not only do you have to READ the information, but you also have give it time to SINK IN so that it is fully understood.
There are some people who automatically cry out for help without expending any effort (NOOBE needs help! give me a link, fix this, WAA WAA). And then there are the ones who make this a great forum, they READ READ and REREAD, TEST and RETEST and generally provide knowledge, information and assistance.
All of us are riding on the backs of the mostly unsung developers Like Faria, Bepe and all the others.

Dan I'M BACK!! MY WIZARD IS FIXED THANKS TO SOME GOOD OLD FASHION SOLDERING SKILLS...
Hey buddy I'm so pleased you got it done,CONGRATS man
Why the hell do you want Underground????!!!!!!!!
It's old, unstable and has soooo many bugs that have all been resolved in recent ROMs. Have you just had the forum on pda view then jumped at the first WM6 ROM post from the early days?
I'm not interested with the Underground WM6 but when MB_WM6 did not work, i thought of trying that.
I have a question here, i tried installing MB_WM6 and it stopped at 95%, later i tried to install Faria's kitchen ROM and it was successful. I tried unlocking the CID with lokowiz03. Do u people still feel that my phone is still CID locked.

Download WST tool and run it,it'll give all the info about your phone to determine the present status of your phone,only than it can be confirmed if it's cid locked or unlocked.
btw,faria's kitchen is for cooking the custom rom according to your own needs,it contains the Base Rom,OEM,RUU... and tools to build a rom.Did you cook your own Rom and flashed ?

Well said my friend... This is is how it should be. I think there should be a rule that have to be a member for so many weeks before you can even post and access download links on the forum... This should give you time to read before you make a mistake and brick your phone...
Thanks....i will surely search for WST tool. If u could post the link of the WST tool that will be of great help.
Thanks

Hey........i found the link and also downloaded it.......thanks for the info

do a soft reset of your phone , tap with stylus the soft reset button on the phone.the phone will reboot,see if it changes the spl,otherwise flash button's rom 1.05 a couple of more times and then do the soft reset,hope it'll change
Sorry...for posting the same info in a new thread......one more question here how to do a soft reset...is it by using ur WST tool. By keeping the power button pressed it will ask that device will be turned off....is this soft reset...or is there any other way to do

To perform a soft reset,use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the left side of your device,it's a small hole type just underneath Infrared port,you just can't miss it,ok
I simply tried unlocking CID from lokowiz even though my IPL/SPL was 1.05/2.21. I got the below results .....in the result it says CID unlocked, can any senior person have a look at the output say was CID really unlocked

for starters wrong thread .. secondly problem could have been completely avoided if you did the basic reading i.e. first hardspl .. if white screen than follow thread on white screen fix .. got hardspl? flash rom ... simple as that.
now u need help .. and instead of posting under the right thread you create a new redundant thread asking about a problem that quite a few people run into. in order for us to help we need info from your phone .. what does bootloader say? can u boot to operating system?

Before you get too upset, have you tried posting in the correct thread? Just like was suggested over a week ago? Have you tried a hard reset? I don't see that anywhere in your steps you took. What about flashing a stock rom?

You download the stock kaiser rom (searching is fun!), then you unrar, and click on the phone like button and follow the instructions. Then again, theres a thread on returning your phone to its original config. More searching fun!

Tried to flash my wizard from the sd card, computers down. Renamed the nbf file to the name of cingulars stock rom.Went into bootloader, it asked download sd image, hit voice call, got BINFS success, then checksum error. Now my baby won't come out of bootloader. How can I fix this? Will card flash with the tmob stock rom work? Does anyone have a cingular 2.25, 2.25 rom? Is it totally FUBAR? Please help, can't get to a computer.
Sometimes I will get the splash screen, showing ipl/spl 2.25. It is cid unlocked.
As long as you can get to the boot loader you haven’t bricked your phone.
However I would use a computer to flash the ROM, I haven’t read about any success from SD.

Hi dudes.
Here's the deal: I have read the entire forum seeking information on how to flash ROMs on the china clone for HTC Touch (also know as Dopod S1, Elf, P3450, etc.), especially the one sold by DealExtreme ([U]www.dealextreme.com[/U]), under SKU 12811, and, after tried ALL the ones available, did not find any working method so far.
So, this thread is meant to solve this problem only.
Let's work together and (finally) find out how to do it!
Hello,
I have also create this post today.
I have the exactly same problem.
I have tried this but I always come to the penguin and then the phone reboots. I have done a hard reset several times, but I am not been able to go to the bootloader. Does anyone went far then this?

Its not a real ELF, so dont upgrade, the hardware is else and i will brick youre phone i think. This only works for the real Elf's and Elfin's not for clone's.
If you want to upgrade and more, then buy a real elf.
Sorry for this, BUT DONT TRY TO UPDATE IT WITH ELF OR ELFIN IMAGES.

DX already provided a ROM here, that is why I think is possible to upgade it. The question is how?

ROM provided by DealExtreme
Hi dudes.
I'm still working on a valid method to flash ROMs on that phone/PDA (china elf clone)...
We all probably have find the same posts (even on DX Forum) teaching how to do it from the SD card (see http://www.gsmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36578 and DX Forum too, with an image they provide).
Have anyone tried this?
I've done it but stopped on that bootloader problem...
My phone appears to enter on it by pressing VOLUME UP while do a soft reset ("stylus in the hole" ), but the screen gone black and don't show anything, forcing me to do a new soft reset to restart the phone.
Comments, please...
ok, i have one of them elf clones, the rom updates from the SD.
you put the (update.img) file in the Micro-SD card and press and hold the Vol-up key and reset.
that works for me.
why do you want to flash it anyhow?
I saw in the elf forum, someone managed to do it on the clones.
Not sure whether he is using Dealextreme phones.
But you can check out the threads i replied on the elf forum.
I remembered that its on the first page.

Hi fat_fat,
Answering your question, I do not want to flash the update image provided by DX. What I want is to flash any (other) Elf ROMs to the device, such as Onyx, Blue Elves, Shadow, etc...
Know any working method, please share with us.

Go ahead, if you want to have a lovely desk ornament. If you want to flash ROMs written for Elf, you buy an Elf.

ahmm actually. you would have to get the original rom, extract it mod it and pack it.
you will not be able to flash it with an HTC rom. the hardware is similar, it uses the omap850 and all, but things like the LCD and the cam are different. so you would have to edit the image you have.
on the battery, does it say HTG ?
i have the same problem. also i bought an 4 gb micro sd and it doesnt recognize it. doew any one else have the same probem?
Hi Every one
The clones looks like ELFs but they are not and all chinese clones run a modified WM based on WIN CE6 including even iphone clones
They had their specific hardware (not as ELFs) so they need their own drivers to run meaning you cannot upgrade it with elf roms UNLESS one of the developers cooks a special roms to it based on their own rom
my cloned phone was in portugese and to have it sent back to the seller i had to spend almost the same amount as i bought it so i took the risk with the DX rom and it was successful thank God
what i did was:
*downloaded the image
*formatted a micro SD card
*copied the image to the card
*inserted the card
*did the volume up + power key thingy
*the device showed it was downloading the image (heart thumping now)
*took about 10 minutes the device rebooted
*now i have an english speaking china cloned HTC Touch
update rom
To enter rom update on my clone i discovored that the correct combination is: volume up + red button and sof reset it!
