[question] about flashing a ROM from SD-Card - HTC Vox

first of all thnx very much for making this awesome and easy tutorial
http: // wiki. xda-developers .com/index.php?pagename=vox_sdcardflashing
but i wanna be sure that i don't make mistakes as been said and brick my phone
so... 1- if I am going to copy just the *.nbh file to my MicroSD-Card, why do I have to get all the files like flash.exe etc.???
2- that restarting process "Turn it off - Hold down the Camera button - Plug in the power cord" is that one after one or all together??? and the power cord would be the charger right???
3- I don't know a single tip about these stuff (flashing ROMs and etc.) so is there any thing else should I know before I follow that tutorial???
those could be silly questions but I'm so sorry I just got my phone and I don't wanna brick it :S
thanks alot for all of U guys and please excuse me for my bad English

1) The Rest is for flashing from a PC, they are included, because most people don't flash from SD.
2) The power cord is the charger and it's one after the other...
3) You have to do USPL first (to unlock custom ROMS), there is a Wiki article about that too.

thnx for replying.. but why most people don't flash from SD??? it seems very easy.. I just wanna know what could make them prefer other ways????
and isn't there a way to do USPL from SD too???

I'm flashing my vox by sd - allways, just because i'm on linux and other ways are inaccessible.
Bricking phone ? - i's possible, but very hard to get, when phone boots in tricolour then flashing is possible with any rom.
m32

I also always flash from SD, it's a lot faster
BTW: I need Windows for cooking anyway, so that is not the problem

Did you flash USPL? If you did, you can get into bootloader and flash another rom.
thanks for the answer!!! what I did was that I flashed the phone with a rom from another model!!!
so the phone power up and stays in the first screen HTC and the legend OS 4.0.0.0 and I try to use the uspl again and the computer cannot see the phone in freeze state but when the phone is in boot mode the computer can see it but in boot mode I cannot run the uspl but I can run the rom updater but I get an error all the time !!!

What error? Did you flash USPL before you flashed the wrong rom? If so and if the rom doesn't contain IPL or SPL you should be able to just flash from bootloader (try big storage and pdaviet). USPL can't be flashed from bootloader.

If it doesn't help. Can you still answer the questions (error message and did you flash USPL already)?
the thin is in boot mode I can run the ROM updater but I have the error .....and then I put it in boot mode again but the USPL doesn't recognize the phone ?????so there is no way to unlock the cid to run the ROM because the phone only stays in boot mode
so my question is is possible maybe to run the OS from the memory card???
thanks
best regards
linterna
If you don't answer my questions I have no idea sorry! You tried flashing those two roms from bootloader? Didn't work? Well then I think it's bricked!
ok I already tryed those ROM's from boot mode ( because is the only mode that the PC recognize the phone) and I have the error (207)all the time and the USPL DOS program cannot see the phone in boot mode ....
nothing I can do with this ???? that's it????
come on!!!
thanks
best regards
linterna
Never heard of error 207, but did hear of "270 Update Error". Remove micro SD card and SIM and try again! Does it start flashing at all and then gives an error or is it at 0%? What's the error message? Be specific!

True, you can't flash USPL anymore (like said before), that's why I ask if you succesfully flashed in the past.... still waiting for an answer tho
sorry my mistake the error is 270 update error
and the process started untill 3% and it goes off and start in the main screen and freeze ...........and once again in boot mode the USPL canoot see the phone and when it freezes there is nothing in the usb!!!

This is reported to solve the error 270 problem for other people.
linterna, Have you tried to flash one of these ROM's but first remove you micro SD card? It is hard to follow what you said you did to get into this problem. Perhaps you could repost with specifics of every step you made starting with the OEM ROM.
(sorry vippie, looks like we posted the same advice at nearly the same time!)
thank you guy for your answers
ok let's start from the beginning
I flashed the phone with the wrong ROM so the phone now is freezes in the first screen with OS 4.0.0.0 and then I have this problems the phone power up and freezes in the first screen and it doesn't connect thru usb .but when I put it in boot mode the usb can detect it ( there is no sim or memory card on the phone) and I can run the ROM updater but I have the 270 error all the time and then I try to run the USPL but I cannot do it because the usb doesn't detect the phone!!!!!
so it's like I'm stack!!!!!
what should I do??
any help will be appreciated
thanks

I'm out of options sorry.... removing cards is to me the only known solution for error 270.
literna,
Did you run the CID unlock patch prior to flashing the wrong ROM? What ROM did you try to flash and why? What were you trying to accomplish? Have you tried to hard reset you phone? If so what happened? If you did not CID patch your phone, then it may not be over written and a hard reset may recover it.
General advice: In your last post, you only stated the same things from your earlier posts which were somewhat lacking. If you are newer to this forum or to this type of phone, it will help you greatly to read everything two or three times before flashing, write or print out a step by step script of what you need to do to flash it, then re-read and compare your script against the posted instructions to make sure they agree. Then think about flashing your phone.
p.s. - The very fist post by the moderator on the Elf Upgrading page is a step by step script for flashing any (ELF) ROM to the ELF. Compare what it says and report what your did relative to that post so we can fully understand how to help you further. You may need to run the enable RAPI script to re-establsih communication, but this depends on what you may have already done.

What ROM did you try to flash and why?I tryed to put spanish on my ELF and I don't know what ROM I flashed it aparently a bad one!!! What were you trying to accomplish? spanish Have you tried to hard reset you phone?yes I already try (if you talking about the reset boton near to the mic on the bottom of my device) If so what happened? If you did not CID patch your phone, then it may not be over written and a hard reset may recover it.

Things that will help others help you:
1. where are you located?
2. who is your provider
3. what ROM WERE you on?
4. ok - you had a phone that was working - and you did:
a. what did you do first?
b. second?
c. etc.
Your message KINDA indicates that you flashed a ROM and had issues - so you THEN flash HARDSPL? was that successful?

OK - I do not think that you got the HARDSPL installed on your phone correctly - BECAUSE - I believe that it would say OLIPOF or JOCKY on it and it does not.
I have not seen the new HARDSPL 328 and 329 but it LOOKS like to me that you did not successfully get the HARDSPL on your phone.
Personally - I would scan the message boards for GSLEON3 (user name) and send him a private message - there are many others that can help you and he or others MAY come trolling by and take pity on you - but at the moment he is the one that helps people in your situation the most from what I have seen.
I would NOT continue to work on it myself as you can definitely mess your phone up permanently. Does your phone still go into boot loader mode? If so - can you flash the required HARDSPL onto your phone?
Find a message that GSLEON3 has left and then lik on his name and send him a private message - he is very nice - BUT - he is VERY busy - continue to be nice and he will most likely get you back and running.

first of all thank u for the help
but, wich one i need? 28 or 29?
and how do i do this spl if i cant copy them to my device.

Danny -
Deep cleansing breaths here ok?
1. personally - I would PUT BACK what ever you had on your phone and get it running again - trying at this point to get ot to go to a different ROM is not a good idea right at this minute.
2. 28 and 29 from what I read makes no difference - users try each one to see which one works better on THEIR flashed ROM.
3. What I would do is look for the HARDSPL that goes with what you had loaded to begin with - or the actual SPL that came with your original ROM and put that one back.
I would be stuck here because I have to use JUMPSPL on my phone because I get the white screen - but I THINK that (don't quote me because I do not do it this way) if you don't get the white screen you can just flash the HARDSPL to your phone without JUMPSPL (having to be able to copy something to your phone.
HOWEVER - if you cannot or do not know how to continue from reading the WIKI - you MUST request help from a professional - I have already recommended one. (GSLEON3)

Based on your current track record, I wouldn't suggest you use MTTY as you have a VERY HIGH probability of bricking your phone (ie: it won't ever be usable again).
so im fu--.
Can you get the phone into the bootloader mode? Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) then press and hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You should get to a tri-color screen (this is the boot loader). Now plug in the USB cord and see if it switches from saying Serial to USB. If so, you can try flashing AN OFFICIAL ROM THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE (ie: Don't try to put an offical AT&T rom on an Orange). When you run the RUU program it will tell you that you need to have ActiveSync working, but don't worry about that. If your phone in bootloader shows USB, you can continue on.
BUT AGAIN... You need the Official rom that was meant for your device. Since you are not HardSPL'd you have to do it this way.
If you don't understand any of that, or have questions, don't just try it hoping you get it right...
As stated previously, it would be well worth you time to get someone like GSLEON to assist if you can.

Not to be mean but if you have red Wiki and looked at threads here and they "don't make sense to you". You really have no business flashing a rom. If you don't understand what you are doing sooner or later you will brick your phone from your lack of knowledge and it will be no ones fault but your own.
I am really surprised people were willing to repeat what has been typed out hundreds and hundreds of times on these forums.

Look at the Wiki article on SD-Card flashing, that should be the easiest way to flash the ROM again!
Flash ROM/Radio from SD-Card
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_sdcardflashing
1) Once you have all the files you need, either from the kitchen or from prepackaged ROMs (they can be extracted with WinRAR),
What Files do they mean? + where do i get these files?
=(
That just means that you have to have the ROM, either from the forum or self made through the kitchen! In your ROM there is a *.nbh file. Just follow the steps from there. The nbh is the only file you will need!

[REF] China Clone (SKU 12811 from DealExtreme - DX)

Hi dudes.
Here's the deal: I have read the entire forum seeking information on how to flash ROMs on the china clone for HTC Touch (also know as Dopod S1, Elf, P3450, etc.), especially the one sold by DealExtreme ([U]www.dealextreme.com[/U]), under SKU 12811, and, after tried ALL the ones available, did not find any working method so far.
So, this thread is meant to solve this problem only.
Let's work together and (finally) find out how to do it!
Hello,
I have also create this post today.
I have the exactly same problem.
I have tried this but I always come to the penguin and then the phone reboots. I have done a hard reset several times, but I am not been able to go to the bootloader. Does anyone went far then this?
i try, but me don´t open the bootloader

Its not a real ELF, so dont upgrade, the hardware is else and i will brick youre phone i think. This only works for the real Elf's and Elfin's not for clone's.
If you want to upgrade and more, then buy a real elf.
Sorry for this, BUT DONT TRY TO UPDATE IT WITH ELF OR ELFIN IMAGES.

ROM provided by DealExtreme
Hi dudes.
I'm still working on a valid method to flash ROMs on that phone/PDA (china elf clone)...
We all probably have find the same posts (even on DX Forum) teaching how to do it from the SD card (see http://www.gsmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36578 and DX Forum too, with an image they provide).
Have anyone tried this?
I've done it but stopped on that bootloader problem...
My phone appears to enter on it by pressing VOLUME UP while do a soft reset ("stylus in the hole" ), but the screen gone black and don't show anything, forcing me to do a new soft reset to restart the phone.
Comments, please...
ok, i have one of them elf clones, the rom updates from the SD.
you put the (update.img) file in the Micro-SD card and press and hold the Vol-up key and reset.
that works for me.
why do you want to flash it anyhow?
I saw in the elf forum, someone managed to do it on the clones.
Not sure whether he is using Dealextreme phones.
But you can check out the threads i replied on the elf forum.
I remembered that its on the first page.

Hi fat_fat,
Answering your question, I do not want to flash the update image provided by DX. What I want is to flash any (other) Elf ROMs to the device, such as Onyx, Blue Elves, Shadow, etc...
Know any working method, please share with us.

Go ahead, if you want to have a lovely desk ornament. If you want to flash ROMs written for Elf, you buy an Elf.

ahmm actually. you would have to get the original rom, extract it mod it and pack it.
you will not be able to flash it with an HTC rom. the hardware is similar, it uses the omap850 and all, but things like the LCD and the cam are different. so you would have to edit the image you have.
on the battery, does it say HTG ?
i have the same problem. also i bought an 4 gb micro sd and it doesnt recognize it. doew any one else have the same probem?
Hi Every one
The clones looks like ELFs but they are not and all chinese clones run a modified WM based on WIN CE6 including even iphone clones
They had their specific hardware (not as ELFs) so they need their own drivers to run meaning you cannot upgrade it with elf roms UNLESS one of the developers cooks a special roms to it based on their own rom
my cloned phone was in portugese and to have it sent back to the seller i had to spend almost the same amount as i bought it so i took the risk with the DX rom and it was successful thank God
what i did was:
*downloaded the image
*formatted a micro SD card
*copied the image to the card
*inserted the card
*did the volume up + power key thingy
*the device showed it was downloading the image (heart thumping now)
*took about 10 minutes the device rebooted
*now i have an english speaking china cloned HTC Touch
update rom
To enter rom update on my clone i discovored that the correct combination is: volume up + red button and sof reset it!

I'm quite new to xda-developers (*collective groaning at the newbie, I'm sure*); what happens to phones here is rather astounding, though, and I'd certainly be willing to make a small donation to anyone that can help .
My problem is as follows: I have an HTC Touch (an Elfin; I can post my device info if necessary), and I'd like to try upgrading the ROM (I've gotten Onyx 5.01 from the forums; it looks excellent). This alone isn't (shouldn't) be a problem for me, but my Touch has, I believe, lost a few pins in it's extUSB port over the years, and will not connect to Mobile Device Centre/ActiveSync through the USB port. I can connect through Bluetooth just fine... but certain expected problems arise from flashing a ROM over Bluetooth . So, what I really need to know, in fairly well explained steps, is: how can I (safely) flash my ROM using the microSD card?
I apologize in advance for any incorrect/misplaced terminology; feel free to correct/rebuke

Search the stickeys. There are step by step instructions available
Can you give me a link to an appropriate thread/section of a thread? I've been rooting around all day, and I can't find anything that describes my situation; every guide I've found gets to a certain point and then tells you to "connect your device via USB..." - is there no way around a broken USB connection?

Soon, I will flashing my Elfin with this method. And I'm asking me if I must let the same name for the rom (ELF0IMG.nbh) or an other name. Can someone tell me if I must change or if it'sd OK with this name ?
Thanks.
PS : Sorry for eventually write error, I'm french.

Ok, thanks, I'd seen that before, but it tells me about an "Invalid Certificate" when I get to the rebooting part... which means my device is not CID unlocked, correct? Is there any way to CID unlock my Elfin without a USB connection?
Thanks again for the help

yes, the name must be that one, or the flash process wont start.

mmm... thats a problem because to cid unlock u must follow the white screen method. im pretty sure u might be able to get to the white screen by hand but not sure how u will flash it then.
another posibility is flashing the unbricker rom (by sd) and then i guess u can re-flash the spl by sd too.
anyway, im not sure. maybe aman or cmonex can help u with this.
Invalid Certificate too
Does the data in the SD card get deleted after flashin the ROM via SD card..???
no, it doesn't
