Where are the rom flashing guides? And does it need to unlocked?

Hi All,
I have just bought a hima off of eBay, and spent the last few hours reading this forum for it.
I have successfully removed the sim lock but, when it comes to rom flashing I think I am more confused than when I started
I have a wizard which I upgraded and my intention was to do the same to the hima as soon as I got it home. With the wiz, I had to remove the cid lock and the only thing which looks similar for the hima is a thread about the country id, which says it can't be done with a 1.06 bootloader (which i have). So I carry on reading... I find the poll about working buttons with wm5 and one of the poll options is bootloader 1.06... I must be mixing things up?
So my question is what must i do (or what is it called so I can look for it and read myself) to flash wm5 without bricking my device? I am assuming it's not as simple as - plug into usb - run upgrade - finished
r 1.10.00
g 1337.18
d 1.66.00wwe
Thanks for any help (And I really thought my noob days were behind me)

nobody says it better then the readme file in the zip
The Step-by-Step Install or Upgrade Procedures:
1. Extract the decrypted versions of the nbf files
by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba 0x20040306
2. Modify the operator ID in the nbfs to the value you require by entering the following commands at the command prompt substituting <operator> with the required value:
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE NK.nba
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE Radio_.nba
3. Update the crc values for each of the decrypted files
by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
xda2nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda2nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba (optional, only if you are installing radio ROM)
4. Encrypt the files back into the nbf files by entering
the following commands at the command prompt:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nba Radio_.nbf 0x20040306
5. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top and the bootloader Version 1.0x (x = 3, 6, etc.) below the screen.
You are in bootloader mode now.
6. Place your device in the cradle (or plug in USB cable), ensuring that the cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
7. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (or HimaUpgradeUt.exe if you changed operator ID & language using xda2nbftool.exe)
8. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait', but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
9. Detach your device from the cradle (or unplug USB cable).
10. Now you have to hard reset your device.
Press simultaneously: Reset Button + CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(to select items use Record Button, to change values use Camera Button)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
You now have a Himalaya running the WM 5 with a 14 Mb persistent storage, 128 Mb Program storage & 16 Mb Extended ROM. Test drive the device, run your favorite applications & get the feel for a while.
Next: Increase your "Persistent Storage" from 14Mb to 30 Mb by Merging the Extended ROM with the Device Storage: Get More Persistent Storage Using Hima_DOC_Tool.
**RAMdisk: Newer ROM's like TofClock's 2.03aWWE do not need setup & modification of RAMdisk. All you need to do is to download the ROM with the preconfigured RAMdisk size you require.
A good choice is to select the 64Mb RAMdisk to give you 64Mb Program Storagfe & 64Mb RAMdisk.

- I never expected to find flashing instructions packaged with the rom
Welcome back V (I'll edit the title)
EDIT - seeing as there was no definitive reply to my actual questions, i'm writing them here for anyone else who reads this.
No unlocking is required to flash any rom (but if it's not o2 branded you must flash the no id version).
The guides are included in the rom package read me file. (enter bootloader, run ruu, hard reset, done - it is that simple).

Downgrade WWE 2.03 to 1.12 problem?

I already enter to bootloader and connect the USB cable to PC and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to downgrade but not detect any Rom file. the log file show :
14:29:16:375 [msg] : Version : [1.5.0-1.0.0.1].

I tried for a long time but problem still.Quaere how to do?

Downgrade!
The way i do a down grade is by booting up the phone into the operating systems, and run MaUpgradeUt_noID whilst uder windows, it shows the rom at first and sometimes it states there is a country error, don't worry, run MaUpgradeUt_noID again and then it will not show the rom on the phone, but it shows the new one you're uploading, click upgrade and it will do it for you.
I hope this helps

Stuck on Booloader Screen *Solution*

After 2 days of messing with this and learning more about flashing ROMS than I ever wanted to it finally worked!!!
If you messed up by not SuperCID(ing) your phone before you flashed it because you didn't follow directions like me, here is a solution that i had to dig up from various forums and threads to get your phone back to WM5.
1. Downloaded the imate wm5 from here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/smartphones/Tornado/Shipped_Complete_Updates/I-mate
2. Downloaded the Typhoonnbftool...just google it. I used version .4.
3. Find out what your original CID id is by using the Ttermpro. (make sure the Allow USB Connections is unchecked in Activesync...i spent an hour trying to get ttermpro to work)
refer to this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319588
4. Now run the typhoonnbf tool. File > Open the .nbf file you downloaded in step 1. (imate wm5)
Tools > Edit Data Header
Change the Operator to match what your SuperCID id is (Step 3) and type in 99.99.99.99 (i'm sure any high number will work here) in the "Image Version" field as well as the "Secondary Version" in the header of the .nbf. (i'm not sure if the Secondary version is necessary, but i did it anyway to be safe)
Sample of what it should look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Save the file under a different name in the same directory. Move the orignal .nbf file to a safe location. Rename the edited version to nk.nbf
6. Run the ROM update utility and it should work
Good Luck and don't give up hope.

Hi All... I didnt notice and i tried to run ((Artemis_Touch_Vanilla_4.02.zip)) this ROM on HTC touch and its got stuck on HTC logo screen and says OS 3.13.0.0 ....

512k nbf
Hi
After I edit the nk.nbf file the resulting file is only 512k so the rom updater won't load it.
What do I do?

try using another version of typhoonnbftools

1. Downloaded the imate wm5 from here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/smartph...Updates/I-mate
The link doesn't seem to work for me. It poped up "error 503: permission denied".
Does anyone have the same problem. Where else can I get an imate wm5? Thanks a lot

Use ftp://[email protected]
you should be asked for login details, use xda as user + password
then navigate the folders starting with the smartphone then Tornado links, you should be able to find it from there.

New problem
I got another version of Typhoonnbftools and successfully edited the header of the file. Flash seemed to go fine right up until reboot. It restarted and displayed o2 splash screen (which should have been overwritten by the imate rom) and continues to bootloader.
Any more suggestions anyone?

wat i still dnt understand is that wen i run tera term pro i dnt no where to type the info 2

[ROM][WWE]HTC Elf Clone - Rom Dumped[ONLINE]

Hey there!
At first I'd like to intruduce myself as I'm around here not too long.
Well I'm a gagdet lover and got my self accidentaly a Touch-Clone, and the worst is that the OS (WM6) is in Chinese ...
First I was pissed off, but then I got trough the Wikis and managed to make a rom-dump of the device, so if anybody is interested, I'd be glad to share the dump with you ...
Actually I'm looking for some possibility to get rid of the chinese interface as I understand nothing and was wondering if it's possible just to exchange language-critical files with adequate english- or german ones?
And is it possible to flash the changed image back to the device with pdocwrite (Filesystem is MSFLASH) or am I confusing something?
Any suggestions or recomendations?
Cheers, Max

You will have to disclose your device's model so that ppl here can confirm if it is a ELF / ELFin Clone. After updating the USPL you should be able to flash any recent rom in any language.

thanks for your reply!
Unlocking the phone with CERT_SPCS and Enable Rapi worked fine, attached some pics:

I hope you didn't get me wrong, this is not an original htc as it seems, as the filesystem is different? But any hints appreciated!
Cheers, Max

This is HTC ELF S1 from China.
It is the first version of Elf.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320155
Flash the USPL and you are good to go for any Elf ROM.
2.20 Elfin ROM is also compatible with your device. But you may want to try those Elf ROM first. You may try the touch surface rom or Shadow CE 2.1.

BTW, this is the same as other HTC ELF .. No different at all, except it uses Chinese Language ROM.

thanks for the identification, your help is very appreciated!
but just to be sure: the device goes into bootloader when pressing "volume up" and soft reset. Also the bootloader screen is white and shows "Enter bootloader updated from SD card?" written in green.
Isn't the bootloader usualy in three colors? Sorry for my doubts but I just want to make sure I don't brick the device ;o)
cheers, Max

Hey where did you buy your phone?

same as you civilized ;o) already solved your problem?

china clone...
@baustromverteiler
did you manage to extract the bootloader? and if yes: what tool did you use?
i´m trying to do the same thing on another clone from china running a strange kind of wm6... and it is a msflash-device, too!

chuckbert

hi chuckbert,
use this command to geht the exact size of partition you want to dump (first use pdo Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi on the phone to unlock your device if not done already)
1. pdocread -w -d MSFLASH -p Part00 -b 0x800 -t
output is something like this:
real nr of sectors: 638 - 1.25Mbyte (0x13f000)
then use
2. pdocread -w -d MSFLASH -p Part00 0 -b 0x800 0x13f000 part00.raw
to dump the rom to disk, you must change the 0x13f000 to in value 1. displays, then do this for all your partitions you want to dump, part02 is the OS (at least on my device) and I suspect part00 or part01 to be the bootloader but I don't know how to extract it from the dump, maybe someone could help?
I got in contact with the seller today and they're trying to get a english rom from the manufacturer ...

@baustromverteiler:
that´s exactly what i did *bg*
no problem to extract the os (part02.raw) but in the other files there is no booltoader
any further suggestions?
seems like the devices are kind of "related"...
regards
chuckbert

hm ... did you find any hints on how to extract the bootloader?
i searched the forums and googled but couldn't find any information ...
cheers, max

bootloader
try "safebootloader.exe or pmemdump...
hope you are more lucky, than i was!
regards
chuckbert

Hi, stumbling into Elf territory here, but is this a clone?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....PageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005#ebayphotohosting
TOMTOP PS381 with WifI, 2GB max microSD (what's Elf max?), same TI OMAP chip, same ram/rom, just curious, as i keep looking at this and thinking it might be a good purchase for fun, but if anyone has any infos, would be good.
thanks, and sorry to hijack thread
/hijack

most certainly by looking at the ebay page
wrong dialer, extra weird softwares (GSmart?), 200-400 hours standby is ungoldy for ppc

No man and there customer service is horrible I'm just going to exchange it and hopefully I get one that lasts

According to the forum in China, S1 is just the same as other Elf, once it is Super CID, you can flash any rom.
try this after you have unlocked.. this is copied from another thread from this forum but I don't know the actual source..
Elf SD Card flashing
This page describes how to upgrade your Elf ROM using an SD Card. This is useful for:
Linux and Mac users: you don't need windows to upgrade the ROM
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem
1、Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
2、Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3、Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4、With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5、confirm flashing on screen by pressing the volume slider down.
6、Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
SuperCID devices are able to flash any NBH image using this method.

So and what can you do when your OS on this clone doesn't boot, hard-reset is not working and CID is locked of course? I tryed classic hard-reset method what is working on original Elf but not on this Elf-clone? I only can get into bootloader... so I think I need original Elf-clone ROM... I haven't any
EDIT: My forum-friend had looked to the manual and find how to Hard-Reset DOPOD S1 so there it is:
press volume up + press camera button + put your stylus into reset hole for 1.5 second then release stylus but keep pressed buttons "volume up" and "camera" until bootloader screen appears.

I've also bought a Touch Clone from China, but now its stuck at the windows splash screen...
Can someone point to a ROM file for these clones?
TIA

Help T mobile Sda
both of the methods dont work on my T mobile sda (US)...anyone knows how to crack it from bootload??? thanks

The lokiwiz method works for sure if you do all steps right. Be careful however as it is just a batch file around some very powerful tools from itsme. You better first investigate with the lokiwiz where you comment out the pdocwrite part to see if the pdocread worked ok.
Or better use the tools directly as they are called from the batch from the commandline. Take great care that you do not mess up different lock_back.bin files with devices. pdocwrite will write anything to the encrypted block area - if you write the wrong file there your device will be unusable for any GSM radio operation. When the SIM is inserted it tells you "Data crashes, please contact your service center". It almost sure that you killed the GSM use this way.

You can try by always this method. It worked for me a lot of times. WARNING! THIS METHOD IS ONLY WORKING FOR SIM UNLOCK!!
1- Download this HTC 2125 Offline Unlocker.zip to your PC
2- Unzip it! of course
3- Sync your device with activesync
4- MANUALLY COPY THE CERT.CAB TO YOUR 2125 AND INSTAL IT FROM YOUR DEVICE
5- Restart your device and sync with activesync
6- Run file named "Autounlock.bat" and just follow the instructions.
7- (ONLY FOR CID UNLOCK)Phone will reboot. then you have to hard reset. cuz some winmo files are gonna lost.
After its work is done, your device will reboot. Now you are ready for going in any services
I hope help you and to anyone!!!

Hi,
could you check if the file is not corrupted: when I unzip it with 7-zip (winzip is not working), it gives me only a _setup.xml of only 1.4kB
on Linux unzip, tells me that the end-of-control-directory signature is missing
Thanks for your help

PS: I downloaded many times but still the files are not correctly handled

My aplologizes.
While Zipping file I use RAR. you can try with winrar or can try changing the path to file .rar and then unrar it.
anything you can contact me and get this via email.

Thanks for your answer: it worked like a charm
Louis

The zip contains a set of useful and several not needed files. It is basically the lokiwiz batch file and tools with some deployment of security via RAPI to the device wrapped before.
@Crowleycator: will you clean up the zip and relink this version?
It seems that the rapi deployment of security and certificates should work for all Tornado devices, not only for the Cingular 2125.
- why the hazzle of renaming the config.dll to .exe and vice versa?

hosed
I followed the exact steps and even I am getting "Data crash, please contact your service center" error.
I ran the batch file from elevated command prompt from my Windows 7 OS. I don't have activesync, but have Windows mobile device center.
I don't have winxp else I would love to upgrade to winmo6: karhoe DOT net/guide-upgrading-htc-tornado-to-windows-mobile-65-updated-june-18-2009.html
At this point, I don't mind reverting back to original locked version, but even after pdocwrite'ing lock_backup back to the device, I am getting same error. And "left softkey + right softkey + power button" doesn't hardware reset the phone anymore.
Any and all help appreciated

Did you CID-Unlock (to be able to load another ROM) or SIM-Unlock (to have another SIM working)?
CID-Unlock:
Did you check if there is a difference in the lock_backup.bin and the cidunlocked.bin file? At offset x'160 32 bytes should differ and as well at offset x'ffff8 for 8 bytes (checksum).
SIM-Unlock:
Did you check if there is a difference in the lock_backup.bin and the unlocked.bin file? At offset x'1c80 8 bytes should differ and as well at offset x'ffff8 for 8 bytes (checksum).
Mind that the lokiwiz tooling will overwrite an existing lock_backup.bin without warning if it exists. So in case anything goes wrong (and is written to the device) and then you retry a second time - your old lock_backup.bin is gone forever.
Also be aware that the original ZIP some posts earlier already contains 2 *.bin files that belong to a device that is surely not yours. YOU MUST NOT WRITE THESE BACK TO YOUR DEVICE!
Lookup other threads dealing with the "data crashes" topic. Hardly any chance to recover from that without paying.

Hi,
I am a complete newbie at this, but I tried your instructions to unlock an old cingular 2125 so that we can use it overseas. I was doing really well until item #6...where it says to run the autolock.bat file. When I tried to run it, it came up with a list of exe files and told me to choose one to associate the bat file with. I tried several and couldn't figure it out...looked online and am such a newb that I really don't even know what I'm looking for! Anyway, if you are available, could you please help me get past this spot? Thanks so much!

First try should be to get the unlock code from AT&T. You give them the IMEI (enter *#06# and note down the result), they give you the code to enter. So easy - no complicated tooling.
Manually unlocking with hacking tools requires basic skills of computing, e.g. to understand what happens in your case. Mind that things can go so wrong that you cannot use the device any longer at all (data crashes message). If on executing the batchfile (*.bat) the computer (you executed this on the PC, did you?) asks about what to associate it with, then something is wrong with your PC - or it is running an operating system that cannot execute *.bat files.
