Hi,
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

helping me out guys
hello guys i hav HTC ELF 100 in spanish version and i want to change in english but whenever i update my RAM with onyx_5.1.2 ...after 2% of updating following error occur [ Attachment]
what about hard spl? have you done that?
Without HardSPL it shouldn't even go until 2%.
Re-download your ROM, and also take out any SD and SIM cards before you start upgrading.
DOMy

Put ur phone into bootloader and tell me what it says.
Did you hardspl correctly? Your device does not boot normally?
Try this wiki page first and read up before going any further : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_UpgradeProblems
You may have to try the goldcold method if hardspl messed up ur elf, see this wiki page for a "how to" : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard
You can also flash a rom from your sd once it is working, see here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing
Appreciate your having problems but please do not double post. I have merged both your threads together.
Many thanks.
hello every one,
please please some one help me with this, i am trying to install magldr to use nand rom types for past 1 month but it is not going through, i posted my problem in some similar question and answer thread but no one ever answered so i decided to create thread finally,
my phone software details
HTC HD2 TMOUS
OS version - 5.2.21913(21913.5.0.94)
ROM - 3.14.531.1(04666) WWE
ROM DATE- sep 29 2010
Radio version - 2.15.50.14
Flash memory size - 1024 mb
i am attaching the images which showed on my phone during bootload.
when i try to update Magldr rom it shows me my rom image as 3.14.531.1 and Magldr image as 2.00.000.0 seems like lower version than mine i think this is the problem but i am not sure it turns up into boot-loader which is colored screen of red, green and blue and turns to improvement screen which is a percentage indicator and that is the end of process it never moves forward i cannot see any improvement in updating not even 1%, it just stops at 0% every time i wait for some 15 mins and i disconnect from usb.
please some one help my old sd version drains my battery just in stand my mode itself i need to charge 3 times every day. i hate wm 6.5 i dont even have any contacts in it.
i at least have tried 20 time updating, please guys some one save me from this hell.
poke me as many suggestions as possible.
thank you for reading my post,
Best regards,
Vin

Have u performed a HARDSPL?...Put ur phone in bootloader mode n type out wat it show there...

4give me but i must 1st scold u for not using the site's search function or even taking out the time 2 read instructions carefully...I believe u got MAGLDR from here..If so then good, but did u not notice the clear instructions written in bold "You need HardSPL 2.08 before installation!"....Your not following basic instructions is wats giving u all d headache u r experiencing...U r truly lucky u haven't damaged (bricked) ur phone from playing wit it without performing a HARDSPL which can be read abt & found in dis thread...
Just download the "HSPL3_PKG.zip" in post number 2, unzip, load ur fone up in bootloader mode & connect 2 pc via usb...Run the HSPL3_PKG.exe and get ur device HSPL 2.08 unlocked....
After successful installation...reboot ur device 2 confirm ur spl now reads "2.08.HSPL" and d words CotullaHSPL are present.....Then flash try flashing MAGLDR 1.13 again...u should be successful..
Next time visit threads which contain stickies like "abt NAND"...Making sure u fully understand instructions already written...ROM devs and others have taken massive time out 2 write stuffs like this out, u should honor em by reading first....Also there are tons of videos out there + if ever in doubt? Google is ur friend.

No i did not download magldr from this source and i followed mdj Cyanogen rom video because i was about to try that in the video no where it showed about installing HSPL2.08 so i did not know that any ways u dont have to be sorry i believe u have rite to scold as ur helping me out with this, i believe thts a part of it. i went through ur thread i don't understand y it says 1024LEOs (from T-Mobile with 1024ROM) ARE NOT SUPPORTED becs in some other threads it said TMOUS with 1024 rom is compatable with all roms. this is so confusing im not a geek but trying to learn more.

thx yoo
as far as I know HSPL3 is compatible with TMo too. as your SPL is 2.10.

Hey, its alryt...We both have the same device (TMobile HTC HD2 with 1024ROM) and so wateva has worked for me, should surely work for u as well..The thread on the ROM i use says its TMous compatible cuz it was made with our TMobile hd2's in mind and so if u would like 2 use it ...i could help u set it up safely on ur device as well....Hweva the steps r pretty str8 4ward.

You don't have 2 be a pro 2 get android on ur device...all u have 2 be is an observant reader & instructions (by devs) follower...Perform a HARDSPL on ur device first n let me know ur progress...After that, its all a matter of following the instructions present in CMYLXGO's ROM thread
P.S. u can download Hardspl.exe from the link i posted above.

tell me the basics of HBOOT, NAND PARTITION, SECURITY FLAG, BOOT & RECOVERY PARTITION
Let us think we are discussing related to a NAND locked htc android device.
I forgot to mention, including RADIO also. And what is NVRAM RADIO.
What are HBOOT, NAND PARTITION, SECURITY FLAG, BOOT & RECOVERY PARTITION. pls define
what are the uses of all these things. And how are they related to each other.
All these are definately located in the phone memory. Are there any seperate drives for each of these. Can we see these things from a file manager, even on a rooted s-off device.
Recently, devices like desire s have signed boot / recovery partitions. What is the difference between normal boot partition and a signed boot partition.
If a hacker wants to permaroot a NAND locked device, what is his target. Is it hboot or nand partition or both. And what is the way of approach actually. If someone knows how unrevoked roots the nand locked device, pls describe the process. Im not asking about source codes. Just asking the basic way of approach for rooting
The only thing i know from the above is, "hboot is comparable to the bios of computer".
SORRY for so many questions. But atleast if u know a single answer to a single question above, pls post and let me know. Even if ur device is not a nand locked device, pls post the answers if u know. U will make a great favour to me if u let me know those things. Im very confused with those and didnt found the answers anywhere.
Thanks in advance...
anyone pls
any answers or any useful links.....

Hi there.
I have a problem with my ChaCha. - Android 2.3.5
When i'm charging it, it takes so long to get 100% Charged. After few minutes of using it, the phone shuts down. When i turn it on, it says 20% battery, or less. If someone calls me, it dies! ( I've made Hard Reset but same story ).
I've read that it may be the software and i've unlocked bootloader so i can install RUU_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.57.415.3_Radio_47.23.35.3033H_7.51.35.19_release_228130_signed.exe . My actual Image version is 2.14 and this RUU tries to make it 1.57 . It's sending data for 20-30 min, even more, but it ends with an error. So, i think this is not what should i do.
I've read here threads with rom's , root etc.
I don't know exactly in what order to do the steps.
Rom is something.
After that, i need to chose one op.system like android, cm ... ? (this is root ? )
If someone can tell me a good ROM + System that works fine , it will be great.
I'm sorry for the post, if i've lost myself in details ) , but it's a big 'party' in my head, with all the info i've read last 5-6 hours .
[A] change your battery
