This really is the key isn't it? I think the OP is trying to execute the upgrade program from his phone.
To the OP you must run the upgrade from a Windows PC.

I cannot use ActiveSync (any version) to upgrade my MDA. I have been all over this site and other sites. I have tried everything to get ActiveSync to work and connect to my phone. I have had a lot of people on this forum trying to get me operational. No Luck.
So, can I donwload a CAB file to upgrade my Phone ISP/SPL and OS to my MDA SD card and then install from the SD Card like I do other apps?
I believe the answer is no based on this thread. But, I will not give up hope.
Thank you in advance.

My 4 PCs recognize the MDA as a Windows Mobile device, but AS will not connect.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled all versions of AS from 4.1 - 4.5.

Please guys, I am asking nicely now. This is not a place to insult other people.
Just answer questions if you know the answer or don't bother at all if you don't want to help.
NOTES :
In order to upgrade a ROM, you'll need a PC with ActiveSync installed and an USB cable to connect them
There is the possibility to flash from SD card but that is only in emergency cases, and it's not recommended. Plus i don't know if it will work unless the SD Image isn't your own.

Help.. three questions

1. Awhile ago I used Hard-SPL on my phone. If I hard reset my phone. Will I have to Hard-SPL again?
2. About ROM's I remember when I flashed a rom awhile back ago, I did it through MiniSD card. Can all ROM's be flashed through minisd? I've only flashed it once, so I wouldn't know.
3. Do I need to plug my phone onto my computer to flash the radio?

How do I flash radio through SD card? I tried downloading one and it is a exe file that I open on my PC..

I've tried downloading a few ROMs too and they are .exes
Anyone know which ROMs and Radios I can install through SD card?

there is a procedure on how to do it...please search. It's somewhere around. Maybe even a sticky.

Okay.. got it.

I would reccomend you just use a computer. Safer and secure. But good luck on your journey thou of flashing.

The safer part is debatable. It may be safer if you ise a UPS device. Otherwise a laptop or MicroSD may be "safer"

There's some information in the Herald Goldcard page (check the link from the Elfin Goldcard wiki).
I haven't tried it yet.. but maybe it does some cool stuff like bypassing Model ID check?

Are you able to get the SDO file as mentioned in the service manual (page 35)? I assume this is an all-Elf unbricking image.
The HTC website requires login to obtain it.

Hi!
I test the file on my bricked Elfin.
Normal flashing via SD card is impossible because the bootloader doesn't start the flash process.
However the diagnostic file runs without any errors.
Only the last menue point of the screenshots "Change ColourID" isn't at my screen.
My ELFin is still bricked, maybe there is a special trick to unhide this menue entry

Hey bro, what does changing Color ID do?
EDIT: Booting from elf0diag.nbh makes it go into a DIAG> prompt in MTTY. I don't know what commands to use though.

I think it's no use whit the MTTY. Many official tools are the elf0diag.nbh format.

When this one starts, it says "Please Input Password".
Note: You cannot start any ELF0DIAG.nbh from SD if you have a USPL installed; you have to flash a signed SPL first.
PLUS IT WILL HARD RESET YOUR DEVICE IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT STARTS UP, WITHOUT ASKING....

Hi!
I testet the new diagnostic File, and now I can change the Color ID.
Black and Green are available.
Black change the MID to ELF030000
Green change the MID to ELF030001
The original MID can't be restored!?!?!?! (it was ELF030050)
Maybe there are more Versions of the diagnostic tool which change the device into other colors.

I make exactrly whatever is writen there but I get message:
Security level not cleared!
What I suppose to do to avoid this and to get into test?

Hi, dsixda!
Bro' I'm in trouble...
The device was in tricolor bootloader.
Untill i work with your onix 4.0 was OK! but I decide to go back. So I get in this state.

Really? I'm still at ELF010150 (I ran device_info.bat).. What does device_Info.bat say for you?

I dumped the USB port. (SnoopyPro + mtty)
There is also the change from ELF030050 to ELF030000

Are there any shipped ROMs with this Model ID (so that you can use Gold Card)?

Flashing A Custom Rom Via Bluetooth

Is it possible to flash a custom rom via bluetooth because thats the only way I can sync my phone to active sync

I highly doubt that it can be done, and if it were possible, there is a huge risk in flashing a ROM with an unstable wireless connection. You don't have any USB connections on your computer?

why not flash it via SD card??

Correct, it's not possible indeed. Have a look.

I do but my laptop doesnt recognize my phone at all so I sync through bluetooth.

Uncheck start>settings>connections>usb to pc.

It would be a disaster to do it over bluetooth...think about it. BT is only active in windows.
You can put it in boot loader mode and then flash--no active sync needed or you can use the sd card method which is the safest way to flash. Make sure you have hard spl on your phone first.

Do I absolutely have to unlock SIM & CID?

Not to flash a ROM; you just have to have hardspl to flash one.

So all I have to do is hardspl my device to add a custom rom?

yes but certain ROMs require SuperCID, so we recommend doing that. Follow the newbie guides on how.

Aight. Thanx a lot for your help.

Make sure you have Activesync / Mobile Device Center started for your phone to be recognized

Flashing via Bluetooth?
You can use bluetooth to transfer the needed files to SD, then flash from SD.
I have no working USB. But instead of bluetooth, I used sneakernet, and put the files for kaiserdiag.nbh (cmonex's kaisdiagSD) and kaiserimg.nbk to affect a flash of hardSPL onto my SD card and moved the card to my Kaiser.
Then I reset into bootloader mode using cmonex's kaisdiagSD. (Just for the hardSPL flash)
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
It worked. I now have hardSPL. I think you can do the same if you will load up your SD card via a bluetooth connection and keep your battery at 50% or better.
Now I think I can just use hardSPL to flash a custom ROM from SD.
Keep the battery charged!!!

[TOOL] [for CDMA ONLY] Task 29 (format internal Memory) without drivers, without mtty

i thought of re doing doloop's modd for CDMA TP2
and here it is fully tested to be working
confirmation thnx to ziggy471: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6052356&postcount=97
now we can mtty our TP2 without having the need of MTTY and its drivers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download and unzip
- put you favorite RADIO in the mix
- run then task29.exe and wait for it to finish.....
- device will reboot but will neva go past the bootscreen coz there is no OS to boot
- take our batti and then flash a rom using mSD card or by taking device into bootloader and using customRUU to load ur favorite ROM
DOWNLOAD:
View attachment task29.zip
CREDIT:
all credit goes to doloop for coming up with the idea
doloop said:
Hi,
I hex edited RomUpdateUtility.exe so it runs task 29 right after flashing ruu_signed.nbh
As every one understand this command format the rom,
Just unzip and run task29.exe . You may replace ruu_signed.nbh with the radio of your choice.
After the phone reset itself, your old rom will be gone, so it won't boot: binfs has been formated, your phone memory is clean.
You'll need to power up in bootloader mode (press vol down right after power key), then use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure.

Before you flash a new ROM, just to make sure all of the old files get deleted. If some old files are not deleted, they have a chance of creating hiccups with your freshly installed ROM (basically the new ROM cannot over-write, over-ride or remove the old files). This is meant to help with clearing your internal storage.

What's HSLP?
Is this the Hard SPL unlocker? (So many acronyms... I'm trying to figure things out before I leap )

I am not sim unlocked (do have HSPL), so I can't flash a radio, can I still use this?

It won't boot because there is probably no radio. Manually put your phone in bootloader. Connect to p/c and flash radio.

Question
I'm Hard SPL unlocked, but not SIM unlocked. Can I still run Task 29 and flash a stock Sprint radio? I've been reading that I can't flash a radio to my TP2 unless I'm SIM unlocked?

Do I need a radio if I use Task29 or can I use the radio I had already on my TP2 which was the stock Sprint CDMA radio?
if I need a radio, where can I get the stock Sprint CDMA radio? Then do I perfom the setup in this manner?
1. Run Task29
2. Enter Bootloader
3. Flash new radio
4. Enter Bootloader
5. Flash new ROM
Thanks
