hey, i just took a brief look in the elfin section. Go there and look at the stickies, there are guides for un bricking yoiur elfin and a good guide on how to correctly hardspl and flash....DO READ THEM (and you normally should flash a rom from bootloader in any case )
If you dont want to hardspl, then try the uspl way. You didnt say what rom you had tried to flash or wot you have done to get it stuck in bootloader.
Also are you using vista or xp on your computer?

i'm using xp on my comp,i got to bootloader because i tried to flash some roms and when i tried last time flashing onyx one it showed me error message and then started the problem.

ok, did u hard-spl sucessfully? what is you ips/spl shown on bootloader?

IPL is 2.26.0002
SPL is 2.26.0000 and as i said in right top corner RUU,
i've tried to flash it from sd card,but it ain't worked andlooked at goldcard method and i haven't got another winmo devic and don't know somebody who has,please help me to unbrick my phone,it was both from orange uk.

Please have a look at post 3 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637
Is this what you have tried doing previously?
Did you unlock your elfin first if it is locked on orange network?
If you cant get it working after trying this, go back to first link above and flash back an original stock rom, at least ur device will be working again!!
ps when u hardspl and tried to flash, did u disable antivirus on PC, and disconnect all other non essential usb devices? This is an commen cause of bad flashes, also try other usb ports, 2 of mine i cant flash on, 2 i can (which is wierd) - (i have experienced this myself).
If any of this doesnt help, as for help in the elfin section, but DO describe all your steps properly and fully and enclose links of roms tried etc so someone with an elfin can see what you have donw and save unnecassary posts etc.

mate,the link you gave me is that when i upgraded my elfin when it was working, i don't know what you mean about unlocked it is sim unlocked what about cid i really don't have idea,because i couldn't connect to mtty,please can you give me the link for original stock rom for my elfin,because i haven't done backup and i downloaded one but i don't know how to put in when i got in bootloader only and can't connect acivesync please tell me how to this aswell,PLEASE HELP ME UNBRICK MY ELFIN!!

Have you resolved this?
Search and download a stock rom from HTC or from here, use the search and wiki, you will find one there.
When you plug in ur elfin into the computer and put it in bootloader, do you see "USB" on the screen along with ur ipl and spl?
You should, and if you do you should be able to flash the stock rom on.

Please change your topic title so it makes sense!
Second you should read before flashing your device... ...you havn't provide us with enough info, is your device CID unlocked? What SPL version do you have, do you have an G3 of G4 device?
Did you try to turn on your device and on the 3 color screen execute the PDAMobiz_Prophet_WM5AKU3.2_v3220 again?

Thanks for you
You had to CID unlock your phone first!
The only thing you can do I guess is install the NoVendorID Asia version for the Dopod.
You can't install the PDAMobiz ROM because there has to be an AS connection.
Try looking for: RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip on the XDA ftp.
Thanks
But Can you Tell me how to Unlock CID (What does mean CID?)

You should try to flash your device with the ROM mentioned before.
After that you can try to CID Unlock your phone:

Vox Update SPL (USPL) 1.16

Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Vox USPL which allows you to flash any Vox ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Vox 1.16 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Vox after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Vox ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW
The attachments:
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates, but if you wonna play with the bootloader commands you need it)
Vox-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL (Note: you must first run USPL from "Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip" before you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip !!!)
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Excalibur is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here
I think this is one of the most fantastic news of the century!!!
Finally some cooking can start on this little device.
Thanks again,
Ka.
noob question
what the difference between sim unlock and cid unlock?
This can be found in various threads around here, anyway.
SIM Lock - You can't use a SIM from a different provider than the one who sold you the phone.
CID-Lock - You can't flash your phone with a ROM which hasn't been cooked by your provider (or manufacturer for HTC unbranded phones).

jockyw2001 great but make one for htc oxygen pls.

anyone online right now wanna drop me a line about this... what do I do exactly with the ruu file. Do I place rom image in that folder while runnning update???
so i followed the instructions and executed the cid bypass(installed itsutils and haret). once i get to the end it says use mtty or flash with RUU. so I attempt to flash right after (am I supposed to flash while the screen is black) but its gives me a connections error. I figure its because the phone is off. So I turn it on and update with the RUU again but only make it to 3% before I get a invalid vendor id. Would anyone care to comment on how I can flash this vox to the dopod rom...

To the users who had the same problem as me I am currently flashing my phone and I managed to get past my problem by using the SDA Application unlocker on my vox. I always thought that HTC were already application unlocked. Was going crazy for a while but I guess I should've followed the instructions step-by-step regardless of what I thought.
Big up to jockyw2001(and of course pof for without him alot of us would still be using shipped rom) for this wicked tool.

I only got this phone so I could upgrade it for a friend to stop the boot loop. It seems to have fixed that problem so I guess it's better than the other roms. On the other hand I can't stand smartphone's so my suggestion is to ditch your SP and switch to PPC . Also I read before hand that this ROM doesn't include Windows Live Messenger but it is included in the rom. Just thought I'd let u guys know.
input please
Just ran into another problem and would appreciate some input. I understand that USPL only works for one flash...but I wasn't aware that a hard reset counted as a flash. Regardless my device hung at the dopod boot screen after a hard reset. Is this normal after using USPL on a device, and if so does this occur with all devices??? I would hate to give a phone back and have to tell the person that they can't perform a hard reset...

If you flash a full ROM the SPL is overwritten with the one in the ROM (Dopod = 1.19). Nothing to do with USPL. Booting can take a long time after hard reset. Unplug battery and try again.

Thanks, I got it to work eventually...Good to know USPL doesn't effect hard resets, I guess you learn something new everyday.
If I had to take a guess before hand I'd figure a SP would boot faster than a PPC, but I realize now that I'd be wrong...
thanks to all for the help, I can finally return this Vox back to its owner

Hi
I flashed my E650 in French with the swissrom (present on FTP), all works !
an idea to change the logo operator to HTC original ?
thanks
thought I fixed the problem. seems as if after a day it just hangs at the dopod screen. It was working fine everytime I had it. As soon as I give it back it seems to hang. Guess ima just flash it back to the HTC rom, too much hassle for just $20.
why SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip can't unlock my Orange SPV E650?

After WM 6.1 official ROM Upgrade ... system problems..

Hi,
I downloaded Official WM 6.1 Upgrade from HTC http://member.htc.com/downloadfiles....0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.zip
and after running that... My system is dead slow and also unable to install few program like Schap's Advance Configurator etc and other issues like
System Reboot time increases....
GPS taking too much time for a Fix
Menu Pop down slowly...
Stucks quite often
.... And after every hour or so the Message popup like that " Please Inform Microsoft about this issue ...... "
Since i am not a computer Geek... Please advice some simple solution ...
Though i also download the official RUU from HTC which released on 21-2-08 but when i run that it tells me that " THIS UPDATE IS NOT FOR YOUR DEVICE " after the SPL screen...
So, is there anyway that i revert back to original System dated 28-8-07
Ur help in this would be highly appreciated....
And PLEASE accept my appologies is this issue has already been raised here...
not sure what you mean by dead slow. First off, the warning that you get that the rom isn't for your device tells me you are not CID unlock. You can always CID unlock your phone and then put it back to the original SPL if you want to keep things back to normal.
Thanks for the reply.....

Well it takes time to respond to the command... e.g. if i click on the START then it took quite a time for a menu to pop down....... as far as CID unlock... i am not sure....
But i purchased my tytn II from UK as a sim free unit @ 455 pounds... and before that WM 6.1 upgrade, i never played with the ROM or firmware... no SPL nothing anysort run on my unit.... I just run the RUU directly from PC and follow the on screen instructions....

During copy it stays at 95 % !
Now every time i boot the device it shows only the bootloader

Hi,
Try re-flashing the stock ROM for the phone. You'll either find it on the wiki or on your carriers website.

A nightmare on Touch Pro street

This may be a little long winded but !!
I am the proud! owner of a Vodafone badged Touch Pro, now probably a brick.
I think you can see whats comming.
Having read through the info on flashing ROM, I followed the guide ie instal Hard SPL then radio then flash the rom.
The Hard SPL went fine and reported 1.40.OliNex on the boot loader screen.
I didn't upgrade the radio so went straight on to the ROM flash following the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
All appeared well until the reboot where the phoone freezes on the network logo screen.
I can get onto the boot loader screen and rightly or wrongly have managed to get the SPL back to 1.90.0000.
But that is it.
Is there any hope or do I now have a rather expencive paper weight
(I have searched the site but I can't find anything which quite matches my problem).
I thought it was supposed to be 1.90.OliNex
Can you flash any other om over it?

Why did you flash HardSPL for Diamond on your Touch Pro?
Very good question.
Must have had a brain dump, but whats done is done. The only question is there anyway back?
Have you tried to flash some ROM to the phone? You can do that from the bootloader.
I'm vary wary of flashing it again unless it is with a known good ROM that is for the Touch Pro.
Any examples or ideas would be welcome
Of course, the best ROM is latest official, you can get it here - http://www.genghis.be/_HTC Touch Pr...igned_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.rar, or on HTC official page - http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=140&cat=2&dl_id=501.
Can you get it into bootloader? I doubt it, but that may be your only hope. Flashing the wrong hard spl is a sure way to kill your phone.

Why are you posting that link? You want him to really brick his device or what? Can't you see that he has a GSM device, not CDMA? Do you know that flashing CDMA SPL on GSM device means bricked device? Don't post if you don't know basic things, please!

Yes, I forgot that your serial number indicates that you have a Vodafone branded phone, and that ROM is for non-branded phones. Try the other link, no need for serial numbers.
I just tried the other link but this returned the 249 error (Invalid Vendor ID)

I assume that your not Hard SPL-ed properly then.
I'd go along with that. At the mo the boot loader reads:
RAPH100
SPL-1-90-0000
MicroP Raph (LED) v13
MicroP Raph (KEY) v5
PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36
If thats of any help?
Well, since there's no mention of Olinex at the bootloader, you're not Hard SPL-ed. I don't know is it possible to flash Hard SPL from bootloader (think not), so I recommend that you first flash a Vodafone ROM from here - http://rapidshare.com/files/244098894/Vodafone_uk_5_10_161_1_WWE.7z.html (and here is the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518937&highlight=vodafone+rom), and then, with fully functional phone, you can do a Hard SPL by following instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150. After that you should be able to flash ROMs as you wish, but they have to be for Touch Pro GSM. Here is the thread you should read after flashing Hard SPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008.
Edit: found another Vodafone ROM, if you fail flashing the first one, you can try this - http://rapidshare.com/files/147978863/vodafone.rar.html.
I'll give it a go, the phone was HardSPL'd but reverted to the stock, which has probably compounded the problems.
