ELF IPL 1.17.0002 & USPL 1.17.0000
This is a newer version of USPL for Elf (based on SPL 1.17.0000) for CID unlocking on similar lines of pof's Elf_USPL based on Elf SPL 1.11.0000.
Credits:
1. pof: for the 1st Elf USPL 1.11.0000.
2. ayyu3m: first person to test new USPL 1.17.0000 for me coz i dont have an Elf.
Note:
1. Should be used only on Elf with IPL 1.1X.XXX2. Some Elf owners have been using USPL 1.11.0000 with IPL 2.2X.XXX2 already without any problem. If that is the case, this USPL should work for those IPLs as well, but i can not guarantee.
2. Keep a shipped ROM for your phone in case of emergency.
3. If you are already using patched SPL 1.11.0000, then you can just run the romupdateutility.exe inside RUU folder to flash this SPL.
4. As it is based upon Elf_USPL, 'rapi' should be enabled before using it.
5. Check post 2 for USPL 1.19.0000, post 3 for USPL 2.26.0000 and post 4 for USPL 2.28.0000.
Another new USPL 1.19.0000 based on Elf original SPL 1.19.0000 has been patched by kokotas for CID unlocking. The nbh file of this USPL ready to be flashed can be downloaded here.
The procedure of flashing it is similar to previous USPLs and the instructions in post 1 apply to this USPL as well.
EDIT 06/09/08: Directly upgrading IPL/USPL in one go may or may not work for all of Elf owners (if the Elf is pre-release or old one). If your phone (Elf only) is stuck at Smart mobility screen with IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26, try downgrading the IPL to 1.19 or 1.17.
For users that already have IPL 2.2X series
First make sure your device is application Unlocked. By installing EnableRapi.Cab & Cert_SPC.Cab on your device, then reboot the phone.
Screen should Jump to White on Phone and on PC Flashing Loading Bar will Show.
Stuck in Black Ducky Loading Screen?, check Active Sync Connection or Do a hard reset on Phone first. But be sure to do the last Actual Flashing in White Screen. Sometimes this needs a few tries to go through white screen.
Done.
For users that have IPL 1.1X series
Steps below are all recommended to remove Micro SD card.
After you have rebooted you can confirm your SPL & IPL versions by pressing Reset Button With Stylus and Pressing and Holding the Camera Button to get into TriColour Bootloader.
Reset Phone Back into the OS And follow instrcutions above for Flashing Patched 2.26 SPL.
At this point you do not to install CertSPC.cab & EnableRapi.Cab
Done
Unless you are familiar with these processes do not try them, and wait for more confirms.
Flashing is done at own Risk and might Void your Warantee.
Note:
You can also update the IPL&USPL to 2.26 together in one go if you are already using the USPL 1.17.0000 or USPL 1.19.0000. This has been tested by ChiemY(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=44). So,if you are willing to upgrade together, download the ELF_IPL-USPL_2.26.0000.zip file and run the romupdateutility.exe.
Guys/gals, the USPL 2.28.0000 based on original SPL 2.28.0000 is ready for both Elf and Elfin
It wouldn't have been possible without the help of cmonex.

1. cmonex : For helping me to solve problem of phone stuck in bootloader with original SPL 2.28 and checking the other patches.
2. pof : For the CID unlocking patch etc.
3. marchese : For the IPL 2.27.0002.
Procedure: the procedure remains the same as the prvious versions.
EDIT 06/09/08: Directly upgrading IPL/USPL in one go may or may not work for all of Elf owners (if the Elf is pre-release or old one). If your phone (Elf only) is stuck at Smart mobility screen with IPL 2.27, SPL 2.28, try downgrading the IPL to 1.19 or 1.17.
Those who want to upgrade to IPL 2.27.0002 and USPL 2.28.0000 together in one go, can download IPL_2.27_USPL_2.28.zip, the ready to flash RUU_Signed.nbh file.
EDIT 28/10/2008: New released USPL28_V2 which has an extra feature (apart from the normal CID unlocking features etc) that you can flash ROM of any size now even below 50 MB using RUU. Yes, this USPL V2 removes the restriction of 50 MB size of ROM for normal RUU and that means the OS.NB doesn't need to be hexed if it is below 50 MB and one doesn't need to flash using SD card in order to gain the extra space.
BIG thanks to cmonex for enabling this feature. Enjoy!
This is the latest version of the IPL/USPL based on the original WM 6.1 WWE ROM 3.07.720.03. This USPL will:
1. CID unlock the device for flashing any ROM
2. Remove the restriction on minimum size (previous limit was 50 MB) of the ROM.
PS: the procedure to flash the USPL is same as before. If you are already using some USPL (USPL 1.17, 2.26, 2.28 etc), then you just have to flash the new NBH with RUU. Enjoy !
EDIT (17-11-08): New IPL 3.10.0002 and USPL 3.10.0000 attached
07/08/2009: I don't have Elfin anymore, so please DO NOT PM me asking how to CID unlock/USPL related questions. if you have any difficulty, post in this thread and wait for your fellow members to reply. thank you!
Those who are interested in dumping their SPL from the phone, please follow the steps below:
1. Download the attached archive (thanks to kokotas).
2. Unzip it somewhere (preferably to the root of a drive).
3. Connect your phone to PC with USB cable.
4. Make sure that ActiveSync is working.
5. Run the DSPL.bat file and follow on-screen instructions.
After the SPL dump is finished, you will get a new file named SPL.nbx in the unzipped folder. But this will be a 512 KB dump file and CAN NOT be flashed to Elf/Elfin as such. Therefore, if someone wants to make a working SPL of the dump, please PM me the link of the dumped SPL.nbx file and i'll make a flashable SPL of the same.
EDIT: there is an easier method posted by dsixda to dump the SPL in this thread, i recommend to use that instead of this one.
Here is newest IPL and USPL 3.14 . thanks to GPRS for sharing the original source of this IPL and SPL. The features and procedure to flash this USPL are same to that of previous USPLs. I've tested it on my Elfin and it works well
Unlocks the CID (country ID) so that you can flash any Elf ROM to your phone.
Instead of flashing the USPL you can also run the temporary USPL (white screen method), but if you flash a bad ROM (bricks your phone) then you are in trouble, as the temporary USPL makes your phone back to CID locked afterwards.
The temporary USPL method also is annoying because it requires you to remove your sim/memory cards and may take several attempts to get it finally working... The flashed USPL, on the other hand, will let you run just the Update Utility and nothing extra... plus it works the first time always.
1.Download the attached archive & extract on Desktop.
2.Go inside the folder DumpIPL & run the DIPL.bat
3.If everything went ok, you'll find your dumped IPL.nb in that folder soon
4.Do not use the generated file for flashing untill you post it in this thread & someone check that it's a "good" IPL!
