Hi everybody,
I made up a new version of pof's USPL for ELFIN based on SPL 2.20.0000. You should be able to flash SPL in the third step now.
Why a new version? Because USPL v1 is only for ELF (64/128MB), but not for ELFIN (128/256MB). Flashing the old ELF SPL in step three on a new ELFIN used to brick your device.
EDIT:
You can find the working release in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1964159#post1964159
Thanks to everybody who was willing to test this!
Tempting, tempting.
I still haven't reproduced that weird blue screen i once had on my ELF.
But like i just wrote i got's me an ELF.
Good luck finding resourcefull Gamblers.
If there's no luck just start a Donation round for a Bricked Device Garantee

This is the kind of brave people we need ;-) Please test it and tell us if it's working as soon as you can. Thank you in advance!
Uploaded new version, please redownload in first post.
Nobody has tested this yet?
I think that a Elfin dopod owner can test this without problems, because if don't work he can flash the complete (and signed) dopod rom from bootloader to restore the original SPL...

i have a elfin locked on bootloader screen....can change my spl with this??
what ??? the UPSL 1.0 is for Elf only and not Elfin ??? what i dont understand is what do you guys mean quit at step 3 ??? I flashed my Elfin with UPSL 1.0 with all steps for more than 6 times so far and nothing has happen so far ... my SPL is the 2.20.2000 one ...
@jamezco:
that´s wrong.
You flashed those roms containing the USPL (start.bat). They automaticly quit the 3rd step and go directly to the Rom Utility to flash the new ROM.
If you use POF´s USPL v1 and you don´t quit after step 3, the patched Bootloader will be flashed from your devices RAM to the ROM, and this wil brick your ELFin. If you have done this, your actual IPL or SPL would be 1.11.xxx...
Sorry: could someone explain me whether it is strictly needed to use the USPL unlock (the one are treated in this post) to flash the PDA?
I mean: the bootloader in the rom package is not able to do that?
we need some thing to unloack direct from boot loader and no need to active sync
as far as i know this is not possible, cause you can´t access bootloader files...in bootloader mode.
same on pc, you can´t delete or replace files, which are open/inuse by another program...

The Rom Packages u can get here don´t contain a bootloader...and even if they would, the bootloader or the rom would have to match your model ID for flashing it to your device....so yes, it´s stricktly needed to CID unlock to flash Custom ROMs or ROMs with other vendor IDs.
Could someone help me? The USPL is needed for the flashing of ROM, or is it enough the bootloader of the ROM?
Sorry, I missed the answer of the post before
My eyes are crossing after 12 hours in front of the pc
Anyone tested already???
Come on guys,
somebody who can get official Roms from his provider should give this a try...
Hi all, not that i think myself insane but i have tried the USPL for my Elfin 128/256 Touch a few days ago . I have followed the steps and the screen turned white as mentioned by the installer after that it booted up fine again.
Everything seems to be working fine!
However, i have not seen any change to the device..

You don't see any change in the device.... but if USPL works you can flash ANY rom from bootloader directly executing RomUpdateUyility, you don`t need to boot windows, activesync and white screen (temporary SuperCID) to flash, try.....
Go to RUU directory and execute RomUpdateUtlity instead of RUN.bat and see if you can flash any rom without 3% (corrupted) error....
The screen remains black, blank, and does not light up, even though activesync knows the device has booted because the icon becomes green. I can't navigate any controls, though the keys do light up when I slide it, or press buttons. Screen remains blank/black.
Here is what I did to get to this state:
1) I first hard reset my Kaiser, to reset all user preferences. This I accouplished by pressing both soft keys while pressing power (if I recall correctly), then hitting the green call button. It then installed Windows Mobile fresh.
2) I then followed the HardSPL instructions, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Everything went fine.
3) I then followed the Kaiser Sim Unlocker instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
After completing step 5, the device rebooted, the AT&T icon displayed, then the screen goes blank and stays that way.
What should I do? Did I miss something? Is this recoverable?
It also does not have any sound. Does this mean I can't unlock?
How do I flash back to the original rom?
Ok, looks like have version 1.27.12.11 rom, during boot.... according to this page it isn't ok for my AT&T Tilt device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
So does this mean I have to pay to unlock? Or is there some way to do it still? Thanks.

I guess you didn't read step 10
I have a problem... it wont go green now, I can't get activesync to go green. I wont be able to load the rom... what can I do?

A reboot fixed this *sigh of releif*. Goes green now.

Ok, question: Will I use the file in Step 3 to put that on the phone? It is saying there is a file open...? I can't disable USB on the device, as the screen is blank.
[EDIT] Looks like everything I needed was in the download. I put the other ROM back on. However, I'm having a problem with activesync... When I click on Connection Settings active sync freezes up. Any ideas what to do to fix ActiveSync so I can turn off USB, without crashing ActiveSync?
Okay, I got the screen with the unlock code... only it gave me this readout:
Your Unlockcode = ........
just like that, with dots.
Is there any way to unlock a phone, if the screen goes black? I can go back to the old firmware, but this special firmware is needed I think to do the unlock, and this special firmware makes the screen go black on my model.
EDIT: On page 33 of the Kaiser unlocker topic, I found what looks like my answer. I need the AT&T 1.57 ROM, as it is compatible with this patched radio so the display will work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it on this forum yet. EDIT 2: Found it, loading it on now: http://www.4shared.com/file/3857459...ULAR_WWE_157_-_Originaly_Shipped_ATT_ROM.html
Unlock worked, once I had the AT&T 1.57 version of the ROM on there. ActiveSync still freezes, but I uninstalled it for the section where I was supposed to disable USB. Installed the 1.27.12.11 radio after completing the unlock, replacing the patched radio. All finished.
Mine still showsup Blank screen

I still get the blank screen..I am now downloading the AT&T 1.57 version .. I am hoping if I install this I will get the display and I can proceed to step 8a, 8b,..
Sorry to be short,
But did you even bother reading through the other threads with the exact same problem as you?
the problem you have is that you flashed an incompatible radio with the ROM that you are runing on the phone. You need to reflash the ROM with a rom that is compatible with the radio or reflash the radio rom to what came with the phone rom that you are running.
You should have upgraded to a 6.1 cooked rom prior to doing the SIM/CID unlock.
Flash your phone with a cooked 6.1 rom that INCLUDES the radio, and then try the CID/SIM unlocker.
my two bit.
I am trying with http://www.4shared.com/file/38574592...d_ATT_ROM.html, which is the ROM that comes with this phone. Do u think this helps? Do u want me to flash 6.1 ROM instead of this?
No,
Unless you know the stock ROM comes with a compatible radio, it will not work. The problem you are having is because you loaded a radio that is not compatible with the stock rom.
If you already have hardspl loaded, then load a cooked 6.1 ROM that includes a compatible radio (for example L26 v9 rom or Sleuth 3.0 rom).
ok..am a BIG novice here..may be a bad question..I have Windows 6.0 on the mobile..so the Cooked 6.1 ROM L26 that I found http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26925 fits into this? Do I need to upgrade to 6.1 before this? sorry if its a wrong question ..

It's not a wrong question
1. Yes, that fits in
2. No, you do not need to upgrade to 6.1 before this, flashing the ROM will take care of it
hope this helps
Thanks mbarvian!!
So I am Installing the upgrade to 6.1 ROM, but do I still need to install the correct AT&T ROM that you gave me in the other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2452022#post2452022?

Yeah anyone? I have a SNAP with SPL 1.24 running WINDOWS Mobile 6.5 but I cannot for the life of me get any of the JockyW SPL's to work 1.17 or 1.19.

SNAP with 1.22 Telefonica
Hi ther,
I´m running with a SNAP from Telefonica with SPL 1.22 and WM6.1 which doesn´t let me install any of the ROMS here. Not even upgrade to 6.5 of original ROM from HTC. It says 294 invalid vender ID.
I have also tried aplication unlocker.. and nothing seems to work.
A few questions... has HardSPL 1.24 been released?
Any ideas to be able to flash a new rom onto this baby...
Thanks

I have MAPL110 with SPL-1.24.0000. Successfully flashed by hspl 1.17 and
this ROM - 3VOLUTION SERIES *][WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.2.50.112509.
succesfully flashed spl 1.25. used hard spl 1.19 through activesync. stuck on tmo load up page then used bootloader then flashed 11.25.09 rom from there.
all went well and my wife has a newish dash for $100
hi guys i installed the 3vloution series rom and when i wish to change it back to the original htc rom it gets disconnected and connected at 14%.. however it hangs at 27%..
help appreciated
Hi @ll,
yes, that behaivior can I confirm. My Snap do the same. A reflash to the EVO rom afterwards works fine...
Any Ideas...how to get the orginal 6.5 back to the Snap?
Thx and regards
Frank
same here
Any solutions in the meantime???
Got it!
Hi,
I found a woking way to go back to the original ROM (and SPL) . But I'm quite sure, that it isn't the easiest way to do that - it killed my nerves and pushed me into desperation in the meantime
Before I was on SPL 1.17 and the flash of original ROM hung at 26%
Sounds crazy, but that's what I did:
1) flashing Hard SPL 1.19
2) flashing Original SPL 1.19 (TriColor Screen showed 1.19 0000)
3) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER
=> flash hung at 17%
4) tried to flash 3VO Evolution
=> Error, because of Original SPL
=> not possible to flash Hard SPL, because ActiveSync-Connection is required
At that time desperation grew to panic. NOTHING worked, so I thought I broke it and can't get it to life anymore
5) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER again
=> flash hung at 17%
=> at next start I realized that SPL-Version had changed to SPL 1.23 0000
6) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER again
=> flash worked and the Snap is back to delivery status
maybe it will work for you too
confused

I've flashed my palm pre with ease. I've also done the same to my Samsung Transform. There have always been guides on how to do so. I'm having trouble finding any guide on how to flash a custom rom to my Arrive. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
first: you are going to need to install HSPL. when you reboot with holding down the "volume - " button, what shows up as the SPL? 1.x? good, install the HSPL, anything higher? you'll have to downgrade.
Once you install the HSPL, it is as simple are running the RUU updater from ansar or the DFT rom
here is the HSPL

in my opinion the DFT rom is a bit better. Ansar's would not allow updating the PRL, and would also throw an error on reboot. DFT is running smoothly on mine for the past week.

I'm running the "DFT Freedom Gold_C V1 for Sprint"
if I am reading things right I need to run the rom upgrade utility to downgrade my spl to version 1.xx from the current 4.xx but I can't get the ruu to work, I keep getting error 260 connection. Any idea what I am doing wrong? The readme file says to reset the device and or the computer, which I've tried but still get the error.
Also, if I restore my phone to nodo will that accomplish the same thing (downgrade to spl 1.xx)?

you should only have to run the utility to downgrade the SPL. When you boot up the phone into the bootloader by holding down "Volume -" on boot, do you get the "Serial" at the bottom?
When you plug into your PC, does it change to "Usb" for that same line?
It does say serial at the bottom but it doesnt change when I connect it to the pc, if it is already connected to my pc when I boot into bootloader mode it does say usb though.
edit: I figured it out, apparently the driver didnt install
so, I've successfully flashed my arrive to the dft freedom rom and I love it (especially enabled internet sharing) but now I have a noobish question. Is the rom updateable? (through Zune or otherwise) or will I have to flash again and reload all my apps and contacts in order to apply an update?
This is why I've been holding off flashing. I haven't NEEDED the ICS yet and I was worried whether or not it would take updates. So I was going to wait until an update started pushing and see what everyone else experienced.......

Honestly, I'm not sure. But the chances of sprint pushing out any more updates is pretty low. 7720 is a very old build, you'd think that they would have done an update since then.
I currently have the stock Rom on the HTC Arrive on Sprint. For those of you that have done it, is it worth putting in a custom ROM?
I just finished flashing dft gold_c v1 rom on my arrive that I got today. I'm liking it a lot so far and it seems faster than stock rom. I like the additional apps and being fully unlocked for loading whatever I want. I'm brand new to the arrive but the flash went smoothly.

Awesome! I want to be able to backup all of my SMS messages before I do it though. Is that possible without the custom ROM?
Was unable to save my SMS without a custom ROM so I did it anyway. so far everything is working great. I'm using DFT Freedom Gold_C V1.
Anyone know the differences between the DFT Freedom Gold and Ansar's ROM ?
I haven't tried Ansar's rom yet since there were issues with the prl and network update functions. Now that he has a new tango version out that fixes it, I may try it soon. It will be hard to leave the dft rom because it works perfectly for me and I have it all set up the way I want it. The few added features of tango may make me switch though...like video mms.
