I've created....... (drum roll please...)

ELF GOLD CARD WIKI PAGE:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard


P.S. Please don't PM me about how to unbrick for other devices... I didn't create the Gold Card concept and I only have an Elf!

 

[noname_sp]

I have 010050 and there are signed ROMs, but my prob i do not have another wince, and mine is dead. Can not get SD card SN....
Have only Nokia S40, and have to write some code to get SN there may be.
If you can give soem ideas how to get SD Card SN without another Wince will be appreciated very much...

Thanks.

Hmm.. does your Nokia have a microSD slot? Maybe there are utilities to get the card ID? I read that you can't get it with a regular card reader.

Why not use a friend's Windows Mobile device to make the card?

 

[noname_sp]

yes, i have Nokia with just same SD card in it.. Heh i have to start calling friends and asking who has Wince ;-) not my style..

If you have any chance to make simple app for Symbian S40 with this function:
RFs.GetMediaSerialNumber()

You will save me hours of learning how to prog symbian, i can c# but not simbian c++....

Bro, I haven't done C/C++ coding in a few years. Maybe someone here can help us. Or do a Google search for the Symbian app. I am sure there are people who made something like this.

If the goldcard is tested by someone else and works, then you can send your SD card to someone who lives close by and they can make one for you.

Wow.. no interest from anyone?

Come on, this is the unbricker we are waiting for!

---I'm interested but not English, I have an Elfin 101,050 dead cid bstar301 I will see if they attempt to repair it with this information .. then they said....

 

[gbverhoeven]

Only with the device?

Can i make a gold card only with a working device? (Elfin?)

Can you not post the files, that wi can copy to the sd card?

When this is working, thats a great aplication!!!

 

[gbverhoeven]

Backup

Is this a backup option when you bricked your device? when this works is this great! i am testing... (with Vista)

 

[miky6682]

I have a briked elfin it boot only a green screen it was cid locked
Device ID = ELF010050
CID = HTC__405
but now mtty give me GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder when getdevinfo command was typed at MTTY console.
i could try the only problem is the memory stick creation.
Sorry for my bad english!!!

 

[dsixda]

I would be happy to test this out if you send me your bricked Elf/Elfin (as a last resort!), but you must have a Model ID (Device ID) that exists in the shipped ROMs thread.

I'm waiting for someone to test this out successfully though. I can't test it on mine because my Elfin doesn't have any shipped ROMs with my Device ID.

People should make a gold card before they try anything risky with their device. But it will not work with everyone of course, because not all Model IDs have the appropriate shipped ROMs.

 

[bydaimon]

dsixda seems that you need ELF0DIAG.nbh only if SD update failed and you will have to use ELF0DIAG.nbh file to enter special menu during the start of the bootloader mode !!
mmm .. ok i will try tomorow i have my second phone ( HTC S710 ) at work , i pray only that my device it`s ELFIN and not ELF


If someone have that file ELF0DIAG.nbh , pls upload it here , it may help some ppl.

 

[hghghghghghghgh]

All is working!!!
Elfin alive!

Step by step:

1. Make the goldcard, as described here
2. Insert card and boot into tricolor mode.
3. Connect to USB than execute original ROM installer.
For my device (ELF010050 HTC__102) is siutable RUU_Elfin_CHT_OPEN_2.20.753.1B_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_ BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe
I was try to install more other ROMS.



After that You can install any wishable ROM with USPL.

 

[dsixda]

GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!

You have a MODEL ID of ELF010050 and used a shipped ROM with ELF0100*0 (which is equivalent). This proves our theory that the Model ID has to be the same!

This is great news for people with bricked Elfs.

However, the requirements are these:

1) You need another Windows Mobile device that can create the gold card with your microSD (if you did not make one already with your Elf before it got bricked)
2) You need to find a shipped ROM with your Model ID (not all devices are supported)

We could try to re-write those instructions into a Wiki page so that it would fit the requirements for our Elfs.


Now we need to get this working for ALL Elfs ;-)

All is working!!!

Theory = Fact, no? BTW .. thanks to you and jocky for the tip!

 

[bydaimon]

hehehe ... i am glad to here that it`s realy works !!!!
hghghghghghghgh congratulations!

dsixda hehehe .... look where is the unbricker

tonight i will try myself !

[miky6682]

when run command:
perl typhoonnbfdecode.pl -p cardid=<cardid> -p keys=tornado -p seclevel=0 -d goldcard.img

to make elf SuperCid is not better set seclevel to 00 or is the same?
