ELF GOLD CARD WIKI PAGE:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard
P.S. Please don't PM me about how to unbrick for other devices... I didn't create the Gold Card concept and I only have an Elf!

I have 010050 and there are signed ROMs, but my prob i do not have another wince, and mine is dead. Can not get SD card SN....
Have only Nokia S40, and have to write some code to get SN there may be.
If you can give soem ideas how to get SD Card SN without another Wince will be appreciated very much...
Thanks.

Hmm.. does your Nokia have a microSD slot? Maybe there are utilities to get the card ID? I read that you can't get it with a regular card reader.
Why not use a friend's Windows Mobile device to make the card?

yes, i have Nokia with just same SD card in it.. Heh i have to start calling friends and asking who has Wince ;-) not my style..
If you have any chance to make simple app for Symbian S40 with this function:
RFs.GetMediaSerialNumber()
You will save me hours of learning how to prog symbian, i can c# but not simbian c++....

Bro, I haven't done C/C++ coding in a few years. Maybe someone here can help us. Or do a Google search for the Symbian app. I am sure there are people who made something like this.
If the goldcard is tested by someone else and works, then you can send your SD card to someone who lives close by and they can make one for you.

Wow.. no interest from anyone?
Come on, this is the unbricker we are waiting for!

---yo estoy interesado pero no se ingles, yo tengo una elfin 101050 muerta cid bstar301 voy a ver si intento repararla con esta informacion.. despues les comento........
---I'm interested but not English, I have an Elfin 101,050 dead cid bstar301 I will see if they attempt to repair it with this information .. then they said....

Only with the device?
Can i make a gold card only with a working device? (Elfin?)
Can you not post the files, that wi can copy to the sd card?
When this is working, thats a great aplication!!!

Backup
Is this a backup option when you bricked your device? when this works is this great! i am testing... (with Vista)

I have a briked elfin it boot only a green screen it was cid locked
Device ID = ELF010050
CID = HTC__405
but now mtty give me GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder when getdevinfo command was typed at MTTY console.
i could try the only problem is the memory stick creation.
Sorry for my bad english!!!

I would be happy to test this out if you send me your bricked Elf/Elfin (as a last resort!), but you must have a Model ID (Device ID) that exists in the shipped ROMs thread.
I'm waiting for someone to test this out successfully though. I can't test it on mine because my Elfin doesn't have any shipped ROMs with my Device ID.

People should make a gold card before they try anything risky with their device. But it will not work with everyone of course, because not all Model IDs have the appropriate shipped ROMs.

dsixda seems that you need ELF0DIAG.nbh only if SD update failed and you will have to use ELF0DIAG.nbh file to enter special menu during the start of the bootloader mode !!
mmm .. ok i will try tomorow i have my second phone ( HTC S710 ) at work , i pray only that my device it`s ELFIN and not ELF
If someone have that file ELF0DIAG.nbh , pls upload it here , it may help some ppl.

All is working!!!
Elfin alive!
Step by step:
1. Make the goldcard, as described here
2. Insert card and boot into tricolor mode.
3. Connect to USB than execute original ROM installer.
For my device (ELF010050 HTC__102) is siutable RUU_Elfin_CHT_OPEN_2.20.753.1B_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_ BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe
I was try to install more other ROMS.
After that You can install any wishable ROM with USPL.

GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!
You have a MODEL ID of ELF010050 and used a shipped ROM with ELF0100*0 (which is equivalent). This proves our theory that the Model ID has to be the same!
This is great news for people with bricked Elfs.
However, the requirements are these:
1) You need another Windows Mobile device that can create the gold card with your microSD (if you did not make one already with your Elf before it got bricked)
2) You need to find a shipped ROM with your Model ID (not all devices are supported)
We could try to re-write those instructions into a Wiki page so that it would fit the requirements for our Elfs.
Now we need to get this working for ALL Elfs ;-)

tonight i will try myself !
think i need all the luck in the world

when run command:

to make elf SuperCid is not better set seclevel to 00 or is the same?

}
Instructions:
first, this is for CDMA treo pro (SPRINT/VERIZON/TELUS), PANT200.
steps:
0) if you have Vista or Windows 7, make sure you have latest WMDC.
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty local folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL exe from the folder
4) follow steps in the program!
5) it should go to tricolour screen now, i.e. SSPL mode, and show 0.32.SSPL. now follow steps in the RUU that's launched by now.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done. if you get any errors, follow the instructions offered by the program.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.36.CMONEX.
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned on, press and hold the Camera button along with the Power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the Camera and Power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically or problems with USB connection after SSPL was loaded, please copy SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL, run CustomRUU on the PC, and flash HardSPL NBH from attachment.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package will soon be posted.
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the HardSPL.
[SIZE=+2]finally, if you wish to thank me with a donation[/SIZE], you can do so by clicking the link the HardSPL program offers, or here: http://hpcmonex.net/htc/pantc/panther.htm
enjoy

Troubleshooting tips:
- read the instructions
- read the instructions
- read the instructions
- if you have USB issues:
1. anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically or problems with USB connection after SSPL was loaded, please copy SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it (make sure USB is plugged in). then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.
2. if it still has connection error in SSPL screen, try unplugging and replugging the USB
3. try different USB port, PC, etc.
4. when there are sync issues, the program also suggests installing this file on the phone: http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab, just making a note here too.
4. it's been verified that you can flash HardSPL from SD in SSPL, see instructions below.
Updates:
HardSPL NBH file is now downloadable from 1st post! you can flash this from SD now; rename this NBH to PANTIMG.NBH, put it on a fat32 formatted SD, and then run SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe on the phone.
steps for stock SPL restore:
0. only use this for warranty service! for no other purpose!!! also before flashing this, make sure you already have stock ROM flashed.
1. download Stock_SPL_Restore_036.zip attachment from 1st post, extract it.
2. get customRUU and flash this file. can also do SD flash (PANTIMG.NBH).

thanks cmonex,
Your hard-spl works fine on my treo pro.
After replacing original hspl with yours, immediately i just try to flash a new custom rom into my treo pro, but this time failed, ether usb-way or storage-way.
Then after a big searching job, finally i found a treo pro kitchen which can given custom rom automatically, also this custom rom could be write into treo pro,
Things goes pretty sweet till now, BUT, BUT, BUT.......................
After rom writing job finish, treo pro restart, system is stopped at splash screen, i am jammed!
Later i find out that damned kitchen is only used for producing 'panther200' roms
and my treo pro tri-color screen is displaying 'panther100', does this mean that kitchen is used for any other treo pro? for example, sprint, cdma?
right now only one thing i am pretty sure-----my treo pro is poisoned!
once again, please, cmonex, any ideas for solve this problem?
online waitting!

yea, panther 100 is GSM afaik... but this thread is CDMA hardspl. or do you mean you flashed the GSM hardspl I released in another thread? (it would be 0.59.CMONEX)
the problem is really just that you need to flash a GSM panther rom, so just flash the shipped RUU for *GSM* treo pro.

thanks cmonex,
my hp is GSM device, sorry for posting problem on this CDMA thread,
problems fixed!
yes, after hspl hacking, it displays 0.59.CMONEX on my treo pro tri-color screen,
The reason for failed loading GSM rom to treo pro is because of wrong format of my TF card, previously i was using TF card for U drive with WINPE system, and i think i messed up with memory format since that moment.
So right now one thing is clear, windows default format function won't help, i mean after windows formatting, TF card properties shows FAT32, but still something wrong with it.
Later on i found an app called [usboot] can doing the proper formatting job, then everything goes fine.
currently i am back on track & WWE 6.1 custom rom works fine, thank you very much for your kindly help!

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
Louis
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
_vin_

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.

[Q] data crashes

please help! Does anybody know what massage "data crashes, Contact your Service Center"? it happened when i put SIM card to my phone - supposed its locked but i dont how to unlock it, ive tried free onffline unlocker but it didnt help! (i have czech t-mobile SIM)...

Did you bother to search the forum? Just 10 post below we had discussed it.

i read that but it seems to me that only solution is to pay for some code! Ive already tried mention programs to unlock it but it didnt help - at least it shows signal now but there is still "data crashes" massage....

Unfortunately the procedure from IMEI-CHECK.UK is the only available working one - at least there IS a procedure (more than just a "code") to revive your device. Up to you what to do - if you find an alternate way to handle this (gutek85 is investigating), let us know.

ok - strange thing is that i havent used my Tornado for a long time and i think it worked before without any problems!?! ....

You messed it sometime with an SIM-unlock/super-CID procedure. You will only notice with a SIM card - so if you played around with flashing long time back already without a SIM, you may not even have noticed the problem.

but what is the solution?

The solution is pay IMEI-CHECK.UK or wait for effects of my work (if this works)

no no, im not gonna pay anything for this especialy when there is no certain result. i tried several programs but nothing worked. i find it strange that i can lock phone but cant unlock it back....also found out this: when i tried to flash new ROM everything looks normal during procedure (on the screen there is 100 %) but after restart there is still the same one ROM...:-(

Report in detail what did not work and how you prepared your device for successful flashing. Make sure you understood what the following terms mean:
- application unlocking
- SIM unlocking
- CID unlocking
and how you can check each of these are successfully executed.

i know what - SIM unlocking and CID unlocking means but dont know how to unlock them. i also have artemis which is in fact tornado with touchscreen and gps and i could CID unlock it easily and than tried many ROMS(SIM unlocking wasnt necessary), but i havent found solution for this yet....if there would be 100 % (at least 99 % ) guide for this it would be great....

Plenty has been told, in this thread and others. Lokiwiz tooling is 100% if you execute all steps carefully and don't leave trash of previous unlocks behind in the directory. It worked for all of my devices since spv-services is no more available. It has SIM unlocked a Hurricane and a Tornado and CID unlocked about 10 Tornados, 2 Hurricanes and 3 Typhoon - without any error.
Look at the batch, analyse what it does and take action accordingly. A safety precaution is to rename the pdocwrite.exe in the tools directory for the first run, so it will not actually write the unlocked encrypted block. Then compare the two .bin files to see if they are different. If they are identical then your device was probably already CID unlocked. Access the SPL in bootmode with TTerm (command "info 2") then the bottom line should tell "HTC superCID" or similar.
The latter is discussed and told in most kitchen and ROM threads - so nothing new. Just look at my signature and follow the link after "WM6+SDHC cooked ROM".

Probably I found method to reconstruct encrypted block after "Data crashes..." message I write modified CID block from Tornado1 to Tornado2 and phone still works ok. Send PM to sunny_morning and he(she) can be my beta tester (if wants). If this works, write full instruction on this forum Now waiting for answer from sunny_morning...

Oh, well - this can be good news
What I know from my old investigations was that the encrypted block needs to be encrypted with the DOC-ID of the "new" device and that another key is required (one of 100 possible - depending on the DOC-ID) to do so. It is a quite complicated process, I think.
With your suggested procedure would it be mandatory to change the IMEI of the device (to the one of the old device - hence "cloning" the device) or will it be the original IMEI?
What did you verify already with your spare device?
I also have some spare Tornados (with encrypted block backups) to assist in testing if you like.

It's wird, because after write into MTTY "info 2" comand it displays:
info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder
HTCS ´í•6HTCE
Cmd>
but i can flash nev ROM and GSM works... I know it should show SiperCID information, but it still works...
And screen from Wizard Service Tool:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Any idea???

I think that only works with a WM6.5 - not with original shipped ROMs. This seems special in some ways, possibly some checks have been patched, so bypassing conditions that make other ROMs fail with GSM access.
How do you know that GSM "works"?
Could you make normal calls with the changed encrypted block?
Mind that "data crashes" only affects GSM use - all other functions of the device work unchanged even under this condition.
What you described was also happening to AlainL and he did not succeed in getting it resolved - neither did I when receiving the broken device. After getting the IMEI-check.uk procedure done everything is back to normal.

1. Yes, you're right. It works only witch cooked WM 6.5 rom (I tried this only on this ROM), doesnt work on shipped ROM.
2. I'm sure, because I can call from this phone I'll try working on WM5 shipped ROM...
3. I'm workin hard to fix all this damage for free
P.S. I have a backup copy of my original encrypted block, so there is no risc...
Edit:
You have right once again... After flashing to Shipped Qtek ROM I have message "Data crashes..." Maybe solution to the problem is upgrading to Gregory WM6.5 ROM... Or there is any patch for shipped ROMs...
This is getting harder than I thought
Edit2:
After downgrade to shipped WM5 Qtek ROM I can't upgrade back to WM6.5 Gregory ROM. Progress bar goes to 100%, but after reboot I have the same WM5 Qtek ROM My (alternative) SPV C600 is sentenced to WM5 Qtek Shipped ROM...

You should copy back the original encrypted block (with the real HTC SuperCID) then the normal flashing should work again.
Get in contact with the originator of the WM6.5 ROM on what he did to the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) to skip the check on the encrypted block. Probably the ROM would also not care about an active SIM lock in the encrypted block.
In that case, probably a ROM cook could insert the "robust" RIL to any Tornado ROM?

I have backup copy of original SuperCID encrypted block, but i can't flash it back (it's created from WST), because i can't now connect with Wizard Service Tool (Qtek WM5 ROM)
I think you're right. WM6.5 by SGregory is more CID-block problems proof. That's why Tornado still could make calls, despite a damaged CID block
My next step is find informations how to convert CID-block backup from .fls to .bin file. Then I'll try to flash it back by lokiwiz02b

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just make a copy of the block with lokiwiz. They both use the itsutils for doing the job and it should be a straight binary copy only. Probably you can right away rename the WST backup to the name required for the lokiwiz.

Help me please

hello friends I have a question
my htc s710 flashed everything perfect
but because when I put it to charge my battery
show with color screen and I can not turn it off
my screen

You have to flash new ROM. It should be Shipped ROM, if your phone is CID locked.
Don't worry ActiveSync isn't connested. Just power off device, press Camera button and plug-in usb cable until three collor screen. Then run ROM upgrade utillity.
It's important to use correct ROM version (the same language ver.), otherwise it will show you an error message.

tell me I should install some file?
or just do the procedures outlined in the post
Shipped ROM file, I can not download

You just have to run ROM Update Utility. That's all. Here you can find some Vox shipped ROMs. If you can't find your language version, I can upload it for you
What is writen on red box? 1.34.???

for the moment I have my htc near me
and can not remember informaction
Only I remember this
vox Hitachi

cpdl .1.31.00000
to the end
show me

I'm using the rom
HTC S710 WM 6.5 "Official" v1.0 [XIP/SYS 21854]
is very beautifull
SURE you can upload more files for me roms kitchen v0x htc s710
windows 5.6 please

You used SSPL, I think... This number, I asked, could choose you right version.
Anyway, that link let you find somethink for you All available shipped ROMs I found...

yes now using SSPL
you know I'm new at this and some days ago
I decided to flash my htc install the first thing I
and was the rom that I show up windows 6.5
for me is pretty far
can you tell me what is the best cooked rom for now?
can you tell me any rom to use?

HTC S710 WM 6.5 "Official" v1.0 [XIP/SYS 21854] is very good ROM. I used it You can use Lite version too. I'm using HTC Typhoon now, Vox has an accident

he he
I have it installed this rom and is very good now
I see you know more than htc phones
and so wonder if you have any other cooked rom
to use
you are the expert on this
what is the version lite?

1. I'm not an expert, I only know a little more than you
2. I can't cook ROMs. There are people who really can do it...
3. Lite version has more storage and uses less RAM. It also has less programs inside the ROM. For more info look here

Very refreshing to see members helping each other....good jobs mates

Have you tried a Hard Reset already? IF the flashing (or some procedures to prepare it) did not succeed then you get back to the bootloader screen. Nothing lost yet, but you must get back to the OS level to continue.
Suspecting that the flash went ok (did you ever use the custom ROM on this device?) - then probably the imgfs is corrupted which prevents a clean boot into the OS. A hard-reset will fix this. It requires a little finger juggling though:
1.) remove battery to switch off device
2.) reinsert battery
3.) press and hold (!) L+R (both) softkeys
4.) switch on device (briefly press power button), but keep 3.) pressed
5.) wait until a white screen comes up and asks about the hard reset
6.) confirm with the green/call button

@ gutek85
yeah I know
I can see now than you know more hehe is great..
I have my htc 710 now
now go to flash the shiped rom
Edit...
the instalation is finished
but when finished the instalation
my htc 710 is againg to screen colors
i must be press key off and now press key on
is strange
@ tobbie:
I must say that I did the hard reset many times
but my phone still displays the same problem
when I turn it off and start to charge the battery
screen is placed in three colors
is very strange for me

So does the device work when the USB cable is not connected?
- what when the the charger is connected?
- what when the PC is connected?
- what when you take another USB cable?
It could be that the USB socket has a HW problem that triggers the fallback to the boot.

Did you use any program to CID or SIM unlock your Vox device? If not, tobbbie can be right...

@ gutek85
@ tobbie
I think this must be the problem
when I connect my htc to give the battery charge
lights and pulls the color screen
From that point I can not charge the battery
I have to turn to see that the battery is charging
Also my battery is damaged only lasts 15 minutes and discharged
you think this will be the problem?
and forget this
I have a htc s621 too
yesterday I flash a rom files
but now not show nothing signal

Try to replace the battery first, and see what changes
What ROM did you flash S621? Shipped or cooked?

@ gutek85
I using this rom now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
[Release 3.50 3-30-2010]
but my htc s621 not have nothign signal
and when go to insert the Sim card show
sim unregistrer is strange for me because is sim original
can help me ?

But it's HTC Excalibur ROM Try using any VOX ROM i.e. WM 6.5 "Official" v1.0 [XIP/SYS 21854]
Or any shipped...

@gutek85: He has two devices - a Vox and an Excalibur.
@chinitopex: You should discuss the problems in either forum separately.
Please tell in each thread then more about the background of the devices, especially if they have ever proven to operate normally (with shipped ROM). If you did not check the original behavior first and miss to describe the exact circumstances under which the problem appeared, a suitable advice is hard to give.
It it is impossible (for me at least) to read your mind and base good advice on missing information, speculation and guess work.
