You have to read the Wiki and search the threads. The answers are there. Just a note, if you're not sure how to format the SD card, maybe you shouldn't be flashing a new ROM onto your device ... Just a thought
Good Luck ...

is there any way i can get my start menu like this without flashing

1. HardSPL goes on your phone. Please read this thread and make sure you understand the directions for flashing HardSPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
2. If you are planning on flashing Dutty's ROM, why are you running nbhexctract?
3. rom tool is also for cooking your own ROMs (which with all due respect, you are clearly NOT ready for, in my humble opinion)
To cook your own ROM, read this wiki entry http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
If you just want to flash Dutty's ROM, select the one you like, download it and run it from your PC.
Thats it.

first off, it doesn't sound like you've read enough... you have a lot of information but not much comprehension (yet, at least).
second, you should understand that nothing you download or do based on advice from this site is "guaranteed"... you assume all risk for what you do to your phone.
now that that stuff is out of the way, you should install HardSPL before you do anything else ROM related... if you can't install HardSPL following the instructions in that sticky thread, you should stop and figure out why and read about how to fix it (don't try to flash ROMs without HardSPL).
After you get HardSPL installed you can experiment with some of the packaged ROMs developed by the excellent cooks on this site (Kyphur, helmi_c, Sleuth255, Duttythory, Alex etc etc...no offense to the other cooks, I just haven't tried your ROMs yet ).
After you get very familiar with the whole flashing process you might want to dabble in cooking for yourself. When you get to this point the Wiki will make MUCH more sense.
Good Luck

I have installed HardSPL on my tilt, copied the Kaiser_RUU.exe and Ruu_Signed.nbh to my SD card but it gives an error when I run the exe, after reading here, looks like I need to just copy the .nbh to my tilt and run the exe from the pc?
I will try that when I am home later on if this is the case otherwise can a kind guru direct me to the correct way?
Thank you

Hi,
I'm not shure if I understand your doubt... If you want to flash a cooked Rom into your device, there are two ways, from SD card and from your PC...
FIRST YOU MUST HAVE HARD-SPL INSTALLED (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679)
I think you should read this if you want to flash your device from SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158
But, the easy way is to flash with your PC, using Activesync 4.5. in that case, all you have to do is plug your device to the PC (wait until activesync gets green), the pick a Cooked Rom of your preference (just search in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378 you have dutty's, shap's, quentin, alex, and many others), download it into your PC, extract it and then run the Kaiser_RUU.exe and follow the instructions on the screen...
You can also read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332246
Read all the information in the links above first, because it is a delicate process and, as pof said: "This software is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused by this unlocking procedure.
No warranties of any kind are given, any commercial use is prohibited."...
Good luck
cheers

Hi shadowlabs9;
you did answer my question I have already done the hard spl. The thing I have done wrong, IMO, was copying the exe to my tilt, too much reading, mixed it with SD card flashing, I should have excuted it from my PC, I will try that later. Thank you for your help

ok i just flashed a rom...
after the update finish what do i do? it reset it self and its going back how i had it before i flashed it

[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

1. What is rom on mobile device?
- is read only memory flash which include the operating system of the device

- 6.1 is a newer version which have new features like threaded sms
Answer provided by: Rudegar

- in wm world bios == bootloader and rom == os
Answer provided by: Rudegar
4. If I want to delete my 6.0 and install 6.1 do i need to delete my rom?
- roms are a image like an cd iso image it will replace the old rom before putting the new rom on the flash tool does this automaticly
Answer provided by: Rudegar
***5. There is no tutorial how to do a backup of you windows so that later you can turn it back if i want sale a phone.

Great.
Can you plz say me what is the software for installing wm6.1

What is HardSPL or SPL?

ROMs are like your OS. While there is only Windows Mobile available, changing (flashing) ROMs allow you to get a different language, more features (via custom ROMs) and more recent versions of Windows Mobile on your device.
It's not an easy process the first time you do it and takes a lot of research so you don't brick your device.

and if you try flash tools and roms from devices
not being the type you own you can kill your device

and read posts in the forum for your SPC! device
there are a lot of people here who killed their devices
because they tried to take on more then they could handle

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.

[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.

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".

"Data chrashes..." fix method

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.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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

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.
