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?

hi all
anyone know how to install WM6 on an I-Mate SP5 ?
I've tried this but always run into problems.
1) SPV-Services errors with -2146893818
2) lokiwiz errors with "could not update itsutils.dll"
I have confirmed that i have an active connect to activesync and can sync if needed.
please help !
well, i have had the sp5 rom on my 2125, and i am now running the wm6 va alpha.
either way, i had a lot of slow down issues with the beta version. if you get past the CID unlocking, install the alpha version instead.
also, are you getting that error when you click the CID Tool option?

I-Mate WM6 Installation
Hi, I installed WM6 on my SP5 yesterday and so far all is working well. I followed the instructions as set out on the link below with the exception of item number 10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321408
Although i used the Perfect English version and not mobile 6 Beta, everything works as planned:
1. Flashed with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip
2. Used SPV-Sevices client and run the CID tool.
3. Disabled USB and entered bootload mode
4. Run TeraTermPro and edited as described in that post.
5. Flashed with Perfect English WM6 ROM
6. Downloaded the Short_AP1 ~ Short_AP4 and unzipped to /windows : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46839&d=1186790764
7. Soft Reset.
I had a problem with my contacts due to me not backing up correctly. DSF made a suggestion which has resolved the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323136

The problem is that the SPV-Sevices errors with -2146893818 so i can't superCID.
exactly what do i need to do with SPV-Sevices to SuperCID the phone ?
this is driving me nuts, i can't even update the ROM with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip, when i do, the ROM update utility goes through it's passes, the indicator progresses to 100% but when the phone reboots, it's still at ROM version 2.5.331.2.
nothing is working !

Hotsync your phone to your computer and run SDAUnlock. I hope it works for you.
After you upgrade to WM6 you will need to run one of the button fix files associated with the rom. Otherwise your contact and messaging buttons wont work.
whoops too slow tx karhoe
I got the same error when i tried to unlock using the application. Had to use the registry editor and set to entries, after that I could run the st servies app to super cix, then all worked well on my sp5. Bin running wm6 english since last week thursday.
Only prob i have is when my screen goes black, sometimes it actually goes white like when you activate the flashlight application. Also had to disable the light sensor as during the day it was making the screen so light that i couldnt see my screen.
application unlock, then supercid. that -2364527465 problem is the application unlock problem.

What gives ?
Weird. All I did to unlock my phone was to run the attached executable file and it was done. I also have an imate sp5 so I don't know why it is different for you. Just to make sure I am attaching my file. So you can try with it. By the way, I guess your activesync connection must be on when you run this tool. But I am no expert. Just try once more.
Did you reboot your phone anot ?

okay i think you are just hung after a bad flash and you can use mtty to reboot the os here are the instructions on how to do it:
gsleon3 said:
Use of MTTY to recover from these errors is usually simple. The basic outline of how to use MTTY to resolve these errors is as follows:
1. Right click on the quicklaunch activesync icon on the lower left quadrant of your pc. (You can also just open up the A/S program)
2. Select Connection Settings.
3. Uncheck the box labeled "Allow USB Connections" & then Click "OK".
4. Open MTTY & select "USB from the Port options drop down menu.
5. Select RTS/CTS from the Flow Control Settings & click "OK"
6. Pay attention, because for a brief mmoment MTTY wil report whether or not it could establish a port connection to USB. If you are successful, a Command window will open.
7. Hit the "Enter" key on your PC twice. You should then see a command prompt that looks like this "cmd>".
8. At the command prompt (cmd>) you should enter the command "boot".
This will reboot the device & report back about any errors or bad or erased blocks.
9. If your device was just hung, it should be fine after the reboot. If it returns to Boot Loader however, it means there was a problem with bad blocks.
10. If errors were reported & you end up back at the Boot Loader screen, then repeat the "Boot" Comand at the (cmd>) prompt.

Can't get it to work, where do i have to put the TOPAIMG.nbh file on my storage card?
I putted the file directly on my storage card and put the phone into boot loader but it said there was no image file?
I'm using the Energy Rom win mobile 6.5 maybe this is the problem?
I hope someone has the solution so i get rid of the last T-mobile s..t
Thanks
Did you unzipp the TOPAIMG.zip before copying to Storage Card? Put the File in the root from Storage Card, not in any folder. Maybe the Card must be formated (FAT32), some people have probs with wrong formated cards.
Hope this helps.
Still doesn't work
I unzipp the file an put it to a formatted (fat32) storage card.
I do all the things mentioned in the HOWTO but can't get it working.
What am I doing wrong?
Wich device do you own? Did you try the customRUU, look for it in ROM-development forum.
I got a diamond 2 only it's from t-mobile they call it a MDA compact 5.
I want to get rid of all the t-mobile things on my device and the ugly pink color
Yet tried the customruu but nothing happens so I give up

I've done it a few times myself, with succes, and I think this is the way I've managed it.
*This asumes you've installed
Follow this on the official LG site: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP920 , and go to the tab "software update".
But instead of just updating your phone do this: Click on User/Support (above) then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check
?
It didn't work i'm afraid. What's really odd is that the phone is on froyo 2.2.2 and the OTA update from the phone says there's no update available. Yet the lg update tool tells me an update is available yet after it has downloaded and about to 'install' it stops and says that the update cannot continue because a 'fatal error' has occured ?
Very odd. I'm guessing the orange bloatware is the problem. I HATE orange !
Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

I downloaded everything but there was no crack included for the flashtool and no .dll file to enter into the flashtool ? it certainly looks incomplete so did not help at all.
Do i really have to keep entering an image verification everytime i need to reply on my own thread ? Seems so daft.
If it is rooted you can delete almost anything you want.

I don't quite follow ? I don't need to delete anything. I'm trying to flash the phone to an updated version of android. I have a UK orange branded p920 3D but it's on froyo 2.2.2 and won't update any further.
I thought you were wanting to delete bloatware. If you want ICS you can try my tutorial

Funnily enough i tried your method first. The flashtool kept asking for an id and password so i could not continue. Where do i find the id and password ? that was with flashtool 1.1 running on win 7
Copy the indicated file over the original as instructed or use 1.2 if you want. You also have to run the installer before using it...It might be a good idea to run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode.
dll
The link for downloading the p920 .dll file is broken. Is it available anywhere else ?
Thanks for telling me, I'll repost it...
In the mean time you could try this. It's not my link, though

Thanks drastic00. I've downloaded the link :good:
not working
I've now tried all methods and nothing works. The furthest i have got so is to hit the yellow start button on the flash tool, but the port does not become ready. I have followed all instructions to the letter.
Recheck step 1 details carefully. Be sure antivirus and Defender are off when downloading and decompressing. It won't start until drivers are installed correctly.
You should see the devices in device manager with no 'blinking' of the omap device, and LG CDMA USB SERIAL, on which you change the port number to 41. Then you are ready to flash.
That part is fiddly.
UPDATE:
I managed to fix it by first running the ACDU fix and then installing the European RUU over it! It even updates now!!
ACDU.exe (click the button on the right to download)
Released RUUs for HTC 8X (make sure to get one that corresponds to your device!)
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME AND MY SECURITY UNLOCKED DEVICE,
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK FOR YOU
IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, IT'S ON YOU.
Steps:
Put your device in the bootloader screen by powering it off, and then turning it back on while holding the vol up + vol down buttons simultaneously.
Connect the device to your computer and let Windows locate and install the driver needed. Wait until the driver is fully installed and/or you can see the word USB written on the bootloader screen.
Run the ACDU.exe file and let it do its job (This supposedly unbrands your phone!). It should restart a couple of times showing a green screen and then eventually go into the bootloader menu. It might say something like "UEFI for Key Provision ONLY" in red letters, ignore that.
Run the RUU you've downloaded and if everything goes as planned it should flash correctly. If not, make sure you've downloaded the correct RUU for your device and that it's not corrupted.
Enjoy your (unbricked and) updatable security unlocked device.
I hope this helps!!

Hello,
I have an HTC 8X that appears to be security unlocked and therefore could not receive updates.
In my infinite wisdom, I decided to try to flash the European RUU that has been released in the internet, hoping it would allow me to update the phone further. I did not proceed unprepared and I did indeed check that the phone was European (it initially had the OS version: 2.00.401.03) so it looked as if everything matched.
However, after starting the update, RUU flashed some UEFI related files and then the phone restarted. It started up and resumed the main firmware flashing process, stopping at the 1% mark and restarting back the bootloader.
The error code reported by RUU is the following:
Error [340]: ENCSS_VERIFY_ERROR
SSD Error, please flash subsystem does not encrypted image
The error message is kinda incoherent and I can't find anything about it (except in a thread in XDA, where someone states that this might be because I need an American firmware?), what's worse is that I'm left with a soft-bricked device that I can do nothing with since it can only boot to the bootloader.
The device is unlocked, unbranded and security unlocked (CID: 11111111), yet I'm still stuck.
If I try to flash only the UEFI stuff (by removing the RUU .nbh from the directory), the device is then able to boot to the HTC logo and get into the dual gear screen, where it gets stuck. The hard reset option does not seem to work at all, the phone restarts at the HTC logo if I keep the vol down button pressed. Strangely, I can get into the lightning screen but I dunno what that might do.
Did I mention that the device cannot shutdown? Yeah... It only restarts...
Does anyone know any way to fix this? Or why this might be occuring?

I've managed to fix it and I've included the solution in my first post. I hope this helps.
This just skips the CID check.
You can also change the CID by command to like HTC__001 and get the OTA's and be able to install RUU's the normal way.

Well, after updating to GDR3, it seems that the bootloader messages have changed.
As of right now, it says
Security Unlocked
PM2320001 P S WP8 I (Before flashing ACDU, I think it used to be only "PM230001")
SBL1-1.0.21009.0
SBL2-1.0.21009.0
SBL3-1.0.21009.0
RPM-1.1.03078.0
TZ-303.000.241
UEFI-0.0.3030.0(175731) (Before updating, it used to be something like "15****", where * = numbers)
OS-4.12.401.01 (Before updating, it used to be 2.00.401.03)
CID-11111111
Radio-1.20b-32-19.04_15.67b.32.19 (Before flashing/updating, it used to be something like "1.11b.32.19.23")

Ah, that's unfortunate. I don't know of a way to bypass the version check. =/ I don't understand why they're making things so difficult for end users. If you're flashing a full ROM, then you don't care what the previous one was... The only thing I can think of is that maybe on each update they blow a fuse so that you can't go back, like on the Xbox360

Well, unless we can find a way to bypass the OS version check set by HTC (or MS?), I guess you're stuck. =(
I was thinking of updating to 8.1 but after the whole ordeal above, I said "**** it, I'll get it when it's updatable! I'm not taking the change of bricking it again.."
..This captcha thing is starting to get very annoying...

I think the OS version check set by htc.Because htc8s can still downgrade by reflashing ruu.I am very happy to update wp8.1,but bricked.
@Potis20 Can you re-upload the ACDU.exe file? The link says the file was removed...
Can someone upload ACDU.exe fix file again??
I have HTC wp 8x from O2 and i try to unlock with your instructions :good:

I don't have the ACDU file but I was able to unlock my phone using the ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY.nbh file.
1. Download ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY https://mega.co.nz/#!UlMS1CyQ!rX-5-U6mmBHncVw6etFYeuSuV-OLX1De-jgkgEGf6FU
2. Put the ACDU file in the same directory as the ROMUpdateUtility (move the other .nbh files to another folder)
3. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
4. Phone should flash and unlock
5. Delete the ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY file
6. Move the UEFI_signed.nbh and RUU_signed.nbh files back
7. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe again to flash ROM
Can someone upload ACDU.exe fix file again??
please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
