Guide to Elf:

(1) Versions of the Elf:

The Elf is the GSM version of the touch. For the CDMA2000 version of the touch please visit the Vogue Forum. There are currently two variations.

-The first and original is the ROM128/RAM64 version or the Elf / Touch or the P3450

FYI Code names are actually not an indication of the model at all. Code names will only tell you the manufacturing cycle / revision or regional information. Currently there is the:

Elf010xx Elf020xx Elf030xx

200 and 300 is coming from Europe mostly.

The next sections will cover basic operations that can be done to the phone. Visit http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FAQ, for descriptions of what the terms I use mean.

(2) SIM Unlocking Phone

In order to use the phone universally across different carriers it must be SIM unlocked. This is different from CID unlocking which is what allows you to flash the phone with different ROMS. SIM unlocking was greatfully provided by rishi, and can be found here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328221.

The instructions are easy to follow and can be done in minutes across all versions of the Elf(in). If the unlock code generated doesn't work for you try the commercial unlocker available here which is known to work in all versions.

(3a) CID Unlocking

This is necessary to flash an unsigned or no-vendor ROM to your phone, a.k.a cooked ROMS. Some cooked ROMS provide their own CID unlocking and I recommend you use those. Otherwise there is a general CID unlocking greatfully provided by Pof here at this link:

Elf_USPL:

Elfin_USPL:

Latest USPL & IPL releases for both Elf and Elfin are available in htctouchp's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637

(3b) Checking if CID Unlocking worked

A safe way to find out if your CID unlocking worked is following this method and check the line:

g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel ?

  • If ?0> TouchCID_Unlocked> Able to flash any ROM or Radio Update through Bootloader
  • If ?FF> TouchCID_Locked> Try CID_Unlocking again BEFORE flashing anything

(4) Flashing ROMS

Flashing is a generally easy and painless process thanks to the hardworking developers here at XDA_Developers. There are many different cooked ROMS available and of course official ROMS.

Information about ROMS:

Now a full ROM code has SPL, IPL, EXT_ROM & RADIO and the actual ROM Code itself. These components can be installed in one package or seperatley.

For new users ROMS come in three flavours:

a)Original, non-cooked ROMS straight from the manufacturer. These ROMS are fully packed and contain all necessary parts to function. Comes with you phone and is generally more restricted then custom ROMS.

b)Vanilla which is a clean basic and nearly empty ROM. These ROMS tend not to include most of the above mentioned components, but some do.

c) customised ROMs by users who use a "Kitchen". They provide you with the IPL, SPL, Radio(usually standard across device), and Ext_Rom.

Currently a WM 6.1 is being developed for the Elf(in) (eventhough it will never be published officially), but a version has already been leaked (A kaiser version) and many developers here have Roms based off of this.

(5) Tips for Flashing:

1) Remove Sim Card and Memory Card inorder to avoid mishaps and possible interruptions to the flashing process or damage to the cards.

2) Follow step by step instructions. Although most flashing is standard across WM phones some different things have to be done for different ROMS and phones.

3) Make a back up of your original ROM, using one of the many utilities provided around. I will post up links to some of those soon.

4) Make up a back up of all your contents, and contacts because a flash erases everything stored to the phone's ROM memory.

5) Make sure nothing distrubs the flash process and it is being done from a computer with an uninterruptable power supply, so you do not damage or brick your phone.
