hey, i just took a brief look in the elfin section. Go there and look at the stickies, there are guides for un bricking yoiur elfin and a good guide on how to correctly hardspl and flash....DO READ THEM :D (and you normally should flash a rom from bootloader in any case:) )

If you dont want to hardspl, then try the uspl way. You didnt say what rom you had tried to flash or wot you have done to get it stuck in bootloader.

Also are you using vista or xp on your computer?

Please have a look at post 3 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637

Is this what you have tried doing previously?

Did you unlock your elfin first if it is locked on orange network?

If you cant get it working after trying this, go back to first link above and flash back an original stock rom, at least ur device will be working again!!

ps when u hardspl and tried to flash, did u disable antivirus on PC, and disconnect all other non essential usb devices? This is an commen cause of bad flashes, also try other usb ports, 2 of mine i cant flash on, 2 i can (which is wierd) - (i have experienced this myself).

If any of this doesnt help, as for help in the elfin section, but DO describe all your steps properly and fully and enclose links of roms tried etc so someone with an elfin can see what you have donw and save unnecassary posts etc.

Have you resolved this?

Search and download a stock rom from HTC or from here, use the search and wiki, you will find one there.

When you plug in ur elfin into the computer and put it in bootloader, do you see "USB" on the screen along with ur ipl and spl?

You should, and if you do you should be able to flash the stock rom on.
