with the originally rom, wifi also dead .:(

[thyssen2k]

i too have a problem with wifi. i can't turn it on. somewhere here i've read something about the mac adress, can't find that thread anywhere.

i've updated to ipl 3.14.0002 spl 3.10.cmonex radio 03.18.90 currently with the stock firmware flash (wm6) but tried also onyx 4.6 ultimate and his 5.

nothing works. i got this elfin (elf030050) touch from a friend and i like it, but would love it, if i could get wifi to work. is there no one here at all who can help us who lost wifi?

oh btw. the CID is T-MOB101 with original 2.81.111.1 (ROM) 2.81.111.103 (ExtROM)

any help really would be appreciated. i've searched this forum for the last few days without any luck on this. :(

€dit: i must also add:
i started flashing the touch (without any problems) because of the lost wifi. it should work though :/

€dit2:
ok, another update: i've upgraded to radio 03.21.90
no change here either. i recon the radio has to do something with the wifi
well, lets see, i might take apart the mda tonight, maybe there is some loose wire or something like that.

[jeremy89632]

This sounds bad.
You tried reflashing to stock rom and issue persist?
Thats bad.

What did you still do?

[thyssen2k]

not only tried, but sucessfully reflashed to that what was on the elf before i started, except for now i have the new ipl/spl and radio roms still installed. the elf works though.

theoretically, as for i can flash it, it should be possible to fix this. cloning a working elf 1:1 and changing imei, mac and so on...

well, i haven't done anything with it since. i just use it, bluetooth works and i can make and get calls with it.

if only i knew what really happened with the elf before i had it.

if only i could find my torx screwdrivers, i'd be taking the elf apart and investigate if anything is wrong in the inside right now.

i also found here on this information rich forum a thread with which i could make a sd card with some check tools. before i try that, i need to get to know more about this, being afraid to render the elf to a heavy paper weight (if you know what i mean)

one shouldn't forget, the issue started with stock rom and still persists after updating ipl spl radios roms and even trying wm 6.1 and 6.5

the only thing which is left is AKU whatever that is. couldn't find appropiate information about that yet.

anyhow, i'd like to reflash the elf to 6.1 or 6.5 but would like to have an almost real stock like rom being complete. don't know how to cook roms atm and i'm in no rush to cook now. maybe, but only maybe, i could have a chance to revive the wifi now by reflashing to a newer wm but i don't think i could be lucky with that. or might this problem be solvable flashing to an even earlier version of the elf's roms

originally the elf had the following rom configuration:

ipl 2.81.0002
spl 2.81.0000
rom 2.81.111.1
extrom 2.81.111.103
aku 0.2.3

i'm not sure what to try next... :(

[jeremy89632]

Okay, I really dont have much idea.
Probably this can help you.

Yeah, so..
But your WIFI used to work last time right?
and you mentioned that you have hard-resetted your device before, right?

[thyssen2k]

well, the guy who gave me the elf said it worked before, he never used it though.
yes, i also hard-resetted the device.

in the mean time i've checked some threads on ppc-welt.de and htc-developers.de and found out, that there is a good chance in recovering this while flashing a very old rom onto the device.

this problem seems to be a touch hd problem too, after flashing specific roms (versions) wifi gets disabled

i'm starting to believe that my friend there did update the elf a very long time ago, and forgot about it and didn't notice that wifi got disabled, as he never needed it.

apart from that, i'll check out the google link you've posted.
thanks

[thyssen2k]

now i'm p*ss*d :( damn thing just shut off and won't start anymore. i'm gonna throw it out the window soon :/

[jeremy89632]

try other cooked roms?
Onyx?

[thyssen2k]

no, haven't tried any other cooked roms. the last rom i installed was the original stock rom of the mda.

anyhow, the mda worked except for wifi for a few days and last week it just shut off and stays off since then. no matter what i tried, it just doesn't react to anything. no charging led, no flashing, just nothing, black screen and no usb reacting when connected to the pc.

this weekend i received the receipt from the previous owner, as the mda still has about 6 months of warranty, and i'm going to send it in today. this is definetly a hardware fault as wifi broke earlier first. they better not try to tell me, that the mda suffered moisture damage, because that won't be true at all.

wish me luck in this :)

[jeremy89632]

Can you try to start thru bootloader mode by switching off the phone than pressing power + camera button together?

[thyssen2k]

as i said, the mda doesn't respond to anything. no button nadda.

anyway, i brought the mda to the store and in about 1 oder 2 weeks i can pick a brand new one. the guy at the service also thinks its a hardware fault after wifi died.

to this, there sure is no solution :(
at least i had no other option ^^

consider my problem done for now. thank you for your time.

[thyssen2k]

ok, 2,5 weeks passed and finally i got a call from the t-point where i gave up the mda.
i could come by and pick up my new one.

after getting there in a hurry, well, 300 meters aren't that much *G*, i came into the store and gave them my service note. the guy went into the back and gave me a bunch of papers, one to sign on, and a brand new MDA TOUCH BASIC AN 3130 (not sure, but could be a htc touch viva)

he said, they were sorry, but there was no chance fixing the mda and getting a new same model was merely impossible atm, so they figured, they'd give me the next best model ^^

absolutely the same features as the mda touch elfin 256/128mb with preinstalled windows mobile 6.1 :D :D

bluetooth, wifi, ah whatever, you name it, it works perfectly... touchflo is a bit slow, which was the first i turned off *G*

now i wonder, this model has a wm 6.1 pro german on it. doesn't disturb me at all, but could an image of it be of any use to anyone?

well, anyhow, i just wanted to let you know ;)

Congrats!
You got an elfin.

Cheers!

[thyssen2k]

are you really sure it's an elfin?

[jeremy89632]

Yup!
Definitely.

Unless you told the wrong figures to me.
I think your box should have a sticker that said HTC Touch Enhanced.

It varies from country to country!

[thyssen2k]

well, the box and the mda look like this one in the following ebay auction:

well the figures i posted above are correct.

[jeremy89632]

Yup, it should be correct.
The wifi is not working ... mmm.
