Are you able to boot normal? In that case, what ROM are you using?
I saw this in the forum he first posted (www.androidin.net) it's a chinese forum for discussing android devices..
the original post was in chinese, I think he is using some kind of translator to translate it into english therefore the strange grammar..
let me add on a bit, he said (in the original post) that he has a TIM G2 32A. and he first flashed HBoot to 1.76.2007 then radio to 6.35, and then downgraded radio to 3.22.23.18. and results in what we see now..(he doesn't know what he was doing then.. therefore did not downgrade his SPL to 1.33)
he has flashed the official G3 and CM-mod and was successful at booting into the system and and use his phone normally.
yeah....Well, I have poor English skills. . Therefore, the use Google translation. . Do not mind.
I just want to clarify an issue
i have already seen it in chinese android forum. i also test this way to flash the radio and spl. it is no problem until flash rom into device(TIM 32a). phone was unable to reboot into system. so i think it may have some issue about what recovery you use.because i used ra-sapphire-1.5.2 recovery and fail flash in the end.
oh no，It is not a fake，I am also from China a forum to see, and then placed on this, see if he can explain what the problem
Because this is not my own。I would also like to know whether it is true.

"the OP's question "
what's the meaning of OP?
(chinese users call HTC Magic as G2, HTC HERO as G3, that's not correct)
phones with old radio may boot with htc-kernel-2.6.27 (with new SPL) or its mod which's source was released with SenseUI 1.5 of HTC HERO. but this combination won't be fully functional, since the user-space libs from HERO have different conventions with old radio.
phones with old radio won't boot with htc-kernel-2.6.29, because there are no HTC MAGIC support at all in this release of kernel ( the source is not released).
and yes, if he has an old radio and it could boot, he could use CyanogenMod. since libs in CyanogenMod have same conventions with the old radio. but don't try it, it is not confirmed, and there are no advantages you can take from this combination.

I have been reading around the forums. As always when a device gets popular, alot of stuff for it surfaces and it becomes a little cluttered. I wanted to create one thread with general information regarding flashing and the many different versions of the Elf(in), inorder to minimize frustration and make it easy for all ELF(in) users. Please, input would be wonderful. I will post what I know, and links and information in the first post.
1) Versions of the Elf(in):
The Elf is the GSM version of the touch. For the CDMA2000 version of the touch please visit the VOGUE Forum. There are currently two variations.
-The first and original is the ROM128/RAM64 version or the Elf/Touch or the P3450
-The second or "enhanced" is the ROM256/RAM128 verison or Elfin/Touch XL or the P3452
FYI Code names are actually not an indication of the model at all. Code names will only tell you the manufacturing cycle/revision or regional information.
Currently there is the:
Elf010xx
Elf020xx
Elf030xx
200 and 300 seem to be coming from Europe mostly.
NOTElease correct me if I am wrong.
The next sections will cover basic operations that can be done to the phone. Visit http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FAQ, for descriptions of what the terms I use mean.
2) SIM Unlocking Phone
In order to use the phone universally across different carriers it must be SIM unlocked. This is different from CID unlocking which is what allows you to flash the phone with different ROMS. SIM unlocking was greatfully provided by rishi, and can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328221.
The instructions are easy to follow and can be done in minutes without any problems across all versions of the Elf(in).
3) CID Unlocking
This is necessary to flash an unsigned or no-vendor ROM to your phone, a.k.a cooked ROMS. Some cooked ROMS provide their own CID unlocking and I recommend you use those. Otherwise there is a general CID unlocking greatfully provided by POF here at this link:
For both Elf and Elfin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320155
Note: For the elfin, you should place Cert and EnabeRapi files on your phone. Run the cabs. Install them and you should cancel on step 3 !!!of the process inorder for it to work.
Update: Just for Elfin. DJVW has made another USPL,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366875
4) Flashing ROMS
Flashing is a generally easy and painless process thanks to the hardworking developers here at XDA_Developers. There are many different cooked ROMS available and of course official ROMS.
Information about ROMS:
Now a full ROM code has SPL, IPL, EXT_ROM & RADIO and the actual ROM Code itself. These components can be installed in one package or seperatley.
For new users ROMS come in three flavours:
a)Original, non-cooked ROMS straight from the manufacturer. These ROMS are fully packed and contain all necessary parts to function. Comes with you phone and is generally more restricted then custom ROMS.
b)Vanilla which is a clean basic and nearly empty ROM. These ROMS tend not to include most of the above mentioned components, but some do.
c) customised ROMs by users who use a "Kitchen". They provide you with the IPL, SPL, Radio(usually standard across device), and Ext_Rom.
currently there are two popular ones in this forum for the Elf(in), WM 6.1 (not sure which build):
-Elves 5.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364901
- ShadowS 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363637
Currently a WM 6.1 is being developed for the Elf(in), but a version has already been leaked and many developers here have Roms based off of this.
For ORIGINAL OEM ROMS please visit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1676118#post1676118
Tips for Flashing:
1) Remove Sim Card and Memory Card inorder to avoid mishaps and possible interruptions to the flashing process or damage to the cards.
2) Follow step by step instructions. Although most flashing is standard across WM phones some different things have to be done for different ROMS and phones.
3) Make a back up of your original ROM, using one of the many utilities provided around. I will post up links to some of those soon.
4) Make up a back up of all your contents, and contacts because a flash erases everything stored to the phone's ROM memory.
5) Make sure nothing distrubs the flash process and it is being done from a computer with an uninterruptable power supply, so you do not damage or brick your phone.
Please tell me any thing else to add, correct my mistakes, as well as provide me links to ROMs here and from other sites.
UPDATES:
This section has officially been moved to the Wiki, but this thread is still open for questions. Please ask any general questions you have as I am compiling an FAQ. Remember its just like your teacher says in school, "There is no stupid questions. Ask because some one else might have the same question". That crap doesn't fly here though. Use the search function first, then ask away!
Thanks!
although i already know what im doing. this thread is a great post and highly recommend it to be stickied.
Yup sticky this please so all the new guys who don't know what to do can read this manual!!
Great work Rafiki6
gr. bram
thanks please post suggestions, comments and links to roms and rom sites or pm me. if this could be stickied that would be great but I think moderator has to do so right? btw i am posting from me elfin pcm keyboard rocks!
maybe you should update the cid unlocking part to highlight the need to cancel on step three if you have an elfin
saves confusion once they get to the thread itself
Rory
Very clear, please Mod make it sticky...
Please any Mods, if you see this thread as useful, sticky it,
1) to help new people to the phone like I was about a week ago
2) inorder for me to not search for it every time I want to update. I know I made a subscription to the thread, but it would nice to just come on and find it.

Thank you for your post which I honestly believe is very useful to many people.
I am just not sure if the P3452 is Elf0101 because the label on my device (under the battery) indicate Elf0100 - P3452.
May be some other members can confirm that as well.
Best regards.

Stange, cos my says: ELF010050
Yep, I already found out that the number "Elf0xxx" is a production phase number or a regional number, and has nothing to do with the version of the phone. I have the Touch XL and I am in NA, and I have an Elf101. Someone else may have the Touch XL in another part of the world with another number. So these numbers don't indicate anything.
PLEASE MAKE THIS A STICKY...It will solve alot of questions and save people alot of headaches!!!

Hi, first of all I tell you I'm new in this forum. Afterward I tell you that before posting this thread I read the different FAQs and guides posted hera and I search for my following question but I didn,t find any answer.
I want to change my original ROM that came with my phone but I have few things I want to know before beginning the process. These are:
1- Any ROM will work with my phone? I brought my phone from US and it was unblocked, so I can use it with any SIM from any company here, in Argentina.
The problem is that in the page where all the ROMs are described I don't find my ROM version. My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE and the Radio Version is 1.27.15.32. The protocol version is 22.51.88.13W and the ROM date is 11/03/07. In the Model No it says "Kaiser". The most aproximate version I found in that page is 1.81.707.0 and the Radio associated with it is 1.27.12.11. What I want is to change my ROM to beging using WM6.1 cause the version of my WM is 6.0, but I don't know if I chose any of the ROM that are available or I have to take care of something I don't know.
2- Suposing I can chose any ROM available, is it convenient to use it with the radio that is associated with it or I have to continue using my radio version (1.27.15.32)?
3- If I change the ROM following all the steps that are described in other FAQs or threads, the phone will continue unblocked in order to be useable with any company or it will be blocked for a certain one, for example AT&T? Remember I am in Argentina.
4- How can I do to backup my current ROM and Radio so, if I have any problem I could restore it to my phone? It is supposed that if I do so (restoring the original ROM) the phone will operate as it's doing now, insn't it?
Well, that all for now.
Thanks a lot.
Guido.
My dear friend all the questions you ask have been asked many times and answered many times. I have a hard time believing when you say you have read everything .. because your post makes it obvious you haven't. Nonetheless i'll answer these questions here for you:

Yes "any kaiser rom" will work with your phone. But first you need to get Hardspl than you can flash any rom that is available here to your phone. Looks like you have a wm6 rom and wm6 radio. When you upgrade to wm6.1 you will need a wm6.1 radio. Most roms come with radios so you don't need to worry about this. If a rom doesn't have a radio the cook will specify that and most will often suggest which radios work best with their rom. To see a list of different radios available please check link in my sig for Alltheway's thread on radios.

i already answered this in my above answer. But to reiterate wm6 rom will work with a wm6 radio i.e what you already have; a wm6.1 rom WILL NEED a wm6.1 radio so it won't work with your current radio.

umm okay you don't wana do this yourself as i don't think so you know how to. Most of the stock kaiser roms are available in the wiki and have links to download them. In the even that you want to return your phone back to its original rom you can download from kaiser wiki.
Secondly please do extensive reading... your post shows that you really haven't done your homework. A kaiser is a expensive piece of equipment and you definitely don't want to mess it up just because you were lazy and didn't want to first understand exactly what you were doing.
Having said that i wish you good luck and happy flashing.
Thesire...first of all I really appreciate your quick answers tomy questions. I have to confess I didn't think to get an answer so quickly.
Anyway, I have to tell you that I didn't write anywhere I had read "everything" as you say. Of course I didn't, all the time in the universe life would be enough to do it. But you can be sure I followed all the instructions that are posted to do before posting a new thread, and those include reading the FAQ of ROM Developing, seeing the charming video of "what to do before posting a new thread", search my questions, and I tell you I spent all the last thursday looking for any answer to my questions, but I didn,t find them. I am not saying that they are not, of course they may be, but I didn't find them. Perhaps, of course, it's almost sure is because I didn't know how to search. But I did it. I read about the different SPLs that I have to download, the different version of them I have to try if I have for ie. the blank display, etc.
Another thing, when you say that always I can have the posibility to restore my original ROM downloading it, I told that in the thread that appears all the ROMs my actual version is not there. So, I wonder where my ROM is comming from and who cooked it.
At last, but not for that less important, I want to really thank you for your and for the time you spent answering my questions. Just remember I'm a newbie and perhaps, someday I'll be answering a question from you in this theme or another, ie. communications!!! Also remember that for us, the people who don't have the english as our natural languaje, sometimes reading the posts can be a little difficult and can be reading something that is answering our question and don't actually realize it or don't understand it at all.
Thanks.
Guido.

Closing Thread.
Been trying to get used to flashing from SD card but can't seem to find a Stock ROM that is suitable. They all seem to come as exe files. I found a good list of reconstructed 6.0 ROMs but can't find any 6.1 ones.
Does this mean everyone flashes to Stock via USB first? Or am I missing something ?
I would like to know this too!
I pulled the nbh from the exe on at&ts website but when I tried flashing from my sd card it only changed my spl and radio back to stock but not the rom.
try to unrar .exe file with winrar
Take this, Shipped 6.1 ROm, no Radio, no SPL

Thanks for those . Any particular difference between the two versions? Is the Cingular one onlt for AT&T maybe? I have a UK Orange Tytnii.
Just thought maybe I shouldn't be keeping recommended radio when I reflash ROM? Is it best to reflash original radio first too or doesn't it make any difference?

No I'm not.

Or maybe you are saying it doesn't matter which stock rom? And there is definitely no mention of stripped rom on TCP's page - I know that by heart now lol.
Anyway I have 2 now so I will have a go next time. Thanks again.

How dare you jump in here with that attack. I really object to this. Where have I been impolite? Have you read my OP?
For the record I not only read the instructions. I devour them! Then I learnt them parrot fashion before I began. I have been a lurker round here for years but only started flashing last week. And for the last several weeks I have been trawling through literally thousands of posts to be sure of getting it right.
Now please show me on those instruction pages where it tells you how you can find a stock HTC ROM without radio that can be flashed from an SD card!
ai6908 kindly referred me to his page where there is only a link to a stripped AT&T stock rom and to TCP's page where there is no mention either. I was also asking if it was necessary to reflash the same radio every time as none of the instructions mention if you have the radio you need already. Still not had an answer on this so maybe it's just a stupid question - just wish I knew the answer lol.
Thankfully more helpful souls than you have provided me with the file I need. Thanks again F1ip and Pisca.
Some of you people on here can be arrogant so and so's. I belong to many forums and have never come across anything like it. Look at all the space you wasted flaming me and now me having to defend myself! No wonder the kids on here post the way they do if this is the example they get set by senior members. I would wager well over half the posts on this forum are pointless flaming. And just ask yourself how many questions are really new and have not already been answered by someone somewhere here. And look how much space would have been saved if you hadn't butted in here on your high horse without reading my question properly .
Rant over.

Stock ROM is the same, it doesnt matter much for it being HTC or AT&T. Base ROM is the same on both of them.
Actually in my opinion, you dont even need to flash to stock ROM. I never flash stock ROM when I flash, and I flash about 10 times a day sometimes.
Sometimes occational hard reset might help. So in my opinion, just flash to any ROM, and do a hard reset after flash and when it prompts for screen alignment. That should solve all your flash issues.

Interesting, thanks. Certainly would save time not having to go through the whole rigmarole every time. That's one of the main reasons I was asking about the cut-down roms. As least I wouldn't have to keep doing the radio as well. Now whether with my lack of experience I should be going against what the 6.5 chefs seem to all be advising ....... .
On the other hand I may never flash again since TCP's latest seems to tick all my boxes. But having summoned up the courage to get going in the first place and it opens up a whole new lease of life for your phone, you kinda get a bit hooked. So maybe when I find one where MotoHome runs fast and smooth on my old Kaiser ........

Apologies accepted . As you might be abe able to tell, the flaming that goes on verywhere around here really gets to me and you certainly hit a nerve. I sometimes wonder if I've wandered onto some Fight Club site by mistake lol .
Yes I do know the exe files can be uncompressed but the radio is still in the nbh file - and one guy who tried using the nbz file on its own said it flashed the radio part ok but not the rom itself .
What I will do is delve a little more into what makes up the unzipped nbh file. Might be a good way to start getting into this kitchen stuff .
hello all, i have succesfully flashed and rooted my htc magic. But alot of these ROMs in here requries some kind of Radio and SPL i dont really know what it is and how to install it. Can someone explain to me please?
I'm bumping this cuz I just got my android phone and would like to know as well
Post in "general" and you'll have a better chance of getting a helpful reply.

That's crazy talk.
you rooted without knowing what Radio and SPL you had?
what kind of phone you got anyway?
Ordinarily I'd consider adding fuel to the flaming you're about to get, but I'm in a good mood today. Here.

I too suggest that this thread be moved to General.
However, if it should be of any use in searches afterwards, there might as well be some answers
Radio refers to the piece of software that runs the radio hardware.
The SPL - to quote a wiki: "Secondary Program Loader, typically, a second stage bootloader."
There's much information around the net
android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Android_FAQ might get you started.
some time ago I followed a thread in this forum about upgrading my 32b. Basically the thread explained that with a particular radio rom, SPL and kernel, you'd get an extra 15mb of memory. I cannot seem to find this thread. It was quite lengthy and detailed. if someone has an idea of where this is kindly post the link as i need it to upgrade a friend's phone. it was very useful.
thanks

Bear in mind that most G1 roms work fine in 32B (i.e. you'll find more stuff in that forum than in the dedicated mt3g forum)
