mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do

1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know

2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)

3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series

4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....

btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC

One S (VilleC2) Android 4.1.1 Sense 4+
Desire X (ProtoU) Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1a
Wildfire S (Marvel) Android 2.3.5 Sense 2.1
HD2 (T-Mobile Leo) Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1

Additional HTC Widgets - Desire X (by ckpv5)
Index - Everything Desire X (by nlooooo)

thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!

PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!
Current: SGS II
ROM: Stock/Rooted

Previous: Nexus One & HTC Touch Elf

Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

are there official 6.1 rom from htc? or is it for elfin only because i can't find official 6.1 for elf..
Magician -> Elf -> Elfin -> Diamond -> Iolite -> Blackstone.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.

arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281

and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.
