Chinnesse HTC Touch (ELF). GSM Phone

---

I have a Chinnesse HTC touch, it is working very good and has windows mobile 6.1. I would like to load it a new ROM but I am not sure if I can damaged it due to it is not the original HTC.
Please help.

Just run the Elf Device Info tool found in this forum to make sure you don't have an HTC clone. If it is not a real Elf it will say "Unknown" and you will not be able to flash.

Result "Unknown"

I have used this tool and my results are "Unknown".

Is there any chance of flashing, can't I just format the phone and install all new software?

No. The hardware is completely different (at a guess, you haven't posted what it has inside, but it will more then likely be cheap parts and some marvell processor). If you did, it will probabaly brick the device, if it even found it to flash to it.

Personally, I wouldn't try, you have a clone. You have stated it works. I wouldn't want to brick my phone if it was a clone just to try a new rom. Again, this just highlights the point to not be swayed by cheap clones, they're just not as fun to tinker with!

Processor 850AZVL

I just pulled phone apart using this forum HTTPforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407323

The processor is a OMAP 850AZVL

That guide is for the HTC Elf(in), not the ELF Clone, you even say in your signature yours is an Elf, not a clone? You're also not the OP, can you confirm if yours is the same as the OP, or you actually have a HTC Elfin?

I think we all know that the HTC Elf(in) is an TI OMAP 850 201Mhz.?

I don't mean to sound mean, I am more confused...

I'm not saying that guide doesn't help with a clone - I don't have one...

(I have also realised you highjacked this guys thread knowing yours is an ELF when this is in reference to a clone for a start...)
