Windows Mobile 6.1 Lock in to Beta Massage

[esojrod]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to all this, I bought my HTC Touch ELF0100 HTC P3452 and after a week of use it start showing the Beta test release software massage, I been reading over the forums without any success on how to solve this issue, I can't use my new phone now, please any help would be appreciate it, I forget to mention that I bought it on Ebay and it came from china, I been trying to contact the vendor with no response from his part. Again, please help me or point me to the right direction on my search for a solution of this issue.

Thanks

It might be an unoriginal HTC device.
Take out your battery and check around whether you see a HTC logo, or some other words.

Thanks for replying,

If I take the battery out I can see the HTC logo on the lower right corner of the battery housing.

This maybe relevant or not, but I noticed that when I connect the device to my laptop and try to sync it, a massage pop out saying that the " device is a prototype and remember to change the vendor ID".

Is there any way I can reinstall windows mobile on it. At this time I do not have any information on the device.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Thanks for all the valuable information and posting you send me, unfortunately I'm not able to sync my elf with activesync and I cant either hard reset or neither of the buttons seems to be working beside the one to control the volume, when I press the power button and this one the phone display a " Enter bootloader / updated from SD Card? " message on the screen.
Something that I can do with this little brick now?

Thanks for your help.

Hi
Did you by your device new or seond hand as this message may be displayed after flashing the unbricker test rom
so if it is second hand this device maybe was bricked and you will need to CID unlock and flash a new rom or search for an official rom for it

I buy it on ebay and supposedly was new, when I receive it it work fine but I noticed that the date was wrong and corrected it after that all I can see is the Beta test message when it load windows mobile 6.1.
Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Make sure you leave negative feedback, so others do not get duped! if you cannot hard reset like normal Touch instructions, it is a Clone Elf or Elfin.. FAKE! Let others know!
the beta thing does not really mean its a fake, just could be installed incorrectly the OS, but if you caanot Hard Reset, that is a sign of a fake..... REPORT, NEG HIM!

Thanks guys,
I just found out that this is a fake ELF, I hard reset it following this link [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500408"], now it it out of the Beta message, but if I try to correct the date again goes back to the same screen with it.
I know that you guys do not support fake ELF, but can I flash the rom on it to a new one, or does anybody know how to get rid of the message and use to current date and time?.

Thanks for your help.

Usually flashing a genuine HTC rom will brick a unoriginal phone.
You may want to try and there is a thread on it.

See how it goes.

NOT ADVISABLE.
