please help with gold card. any thoughts are appreciated. - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Is anyone else having problems getting their gold card set up?
I have a class 4 4gb Kingston SD card, which I purchased specifically for this, that I've set up a gold card on SEVERAL times that is not working.
Every time I fast boot on my MyTouch it checks the .img file, then I get an error:
"Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!"
I know for a fact that my model ID is correct as I pulled it from adb, copied and pasted, and I've followed these instructions to the letter including using the hex editor. I do run windows 7, and I did run the hexed program as admin.
I've also verified that the gold card is functioning by testing its ability to be written to.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? If this is not the place to post, please let me know and I apologize in advance as I haven't been able to find any one else with similar issues.
Feel free to get at me on gtalk:

just because you can write to it doesnt mean its working properly, go over the gold card instructs again and make sure you completed all the steps, from here it sounds like you did something wrong somewhere between step 6-10.

I am 100% positive I have not followed these steps incorrectly. I do exactly as they say.
My Steps:
1. Get CID. I do so using ADB. This is an incredibly easy task.
2. Format SD card.
See shot 1.
3. Reverse the CID using the Qmat script you actually wrote here:
http://www.andyappz.com/cid.html
This gives me the reversed CID plus the replacement of the first two characters with "00". Easy as well.
See shot 2.
4. Submit to gold card generation site here:
Then download to my downloads folder and place on my desktop.
See shot 3.
5. Use hexed run as administrator(as I run Windows 7 currently) to replace lines 0-17 in the hex ed program.
See shots 4, 5, and 6.
6. Place sappimg.zip on gold card after ensuring the gold card (seems to be working fine and) is recognized properly.
See shot 7.
After that its on to attempting to flash img zip file in fast boot on the phone. Which fails with the error message shown in my first post.
Any suggestions at all...please?

nothing. wow. well, thanks for all the help everyone. really appreciate it.
i got it figured out. anyone else who's having issues feel free to message me on gtalk([email protected]) as i'm actually more than happy to help someone in need.

Couple things you might have gotten wrong. I got that error a couple times.
reformat your sd card and reget cid id. but this time get it through terminal instead of adb.
then triple check your cid id. make sure when your reverse it, you replace the 1st 2 numbers with 00.
when your in hex editor, make sure you edit>paste write instead of ctrl+p, when your copying the goldcard img into the sdcard. You'll know when your doing this part right when you paste write and a pop up comes up.
if you do al of this, you should be set.

im in the same boat... and have followed EVERY DIRECTION

WM 2005 installation -> SD IMAGE - or whats better?

Ok, for the last time, i'll be lame and ask once again where the hell can i find out how to install WM2005 in my device?first of all, if i have an SD image from buzz lightyears site named:
Code:
WM5_SDimage_1.60c.00WWE_PS_128RAM_nocert_Hima.rar
which is the newest one from what i know, how do i install it? the files in it are:
1. SDimage_OS_1.60c.00_PS_128RAM_nocert_.bin
2. PostInstallFixes_WM5_1.60cWWE_Himalaya.cab
3. READ.txt --> which has this written in it:
3a.
1.60c.00WWE
128MB RAM
Persistent Storage
Removed certification.
Improved caching.
You MUST replace SD header with your own!
Replace everything between "REPLACE START" to "REPLACE END".
Please make sure you also install PostInstallFixes.
my questions:
1. what do they mean by saying SD header? which header?what the hell? the name of the SD image file? or my SD card? or what?
2. this install is different from the other classical installs, .bin should be easier, but at this moment in time its just confusing, therefore i'm wondering, what where and how?
3. copy these files first onto my SD card on himalaya and then what? or open file on pc?
4. cant emulate bin since no cue file and just doesn't wanna do that. exlpanation or solution?
5. please help me out guys. its important. or should i stick with the other file i have?:::
***** WM2k5_1.60c.00WWE_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar *****
--> i do not understand the first 5 steps, atleast how to do them. here is attached the txt file. please read and explain.

Stick with it! It's the easier method to install.
The SD image version is just the same with the one you have, they just differ with the METHOD to install to your PPC.

ORIGINAL POST:
"I've noticed that the tutorial for making a gold card is not as intuitive as it should be. A lot of people are having issues making a gold card for a few simple reasons:
1. You need to have the SD card that you want to make in to a gold card in your phone when you get your CID. You need the serial number off of the SD card you're making in to the gold card, and not the ID of your phone it self.
2. Make sure you are following the hexED modification directions correctly. If you run Windows 7 or Windows Vista, be sure to Right click on the program before opening it and select "Run as administrator..."
3. You can use this site to replace steps 6 through 9 of this process thanks to mr_black03:
mr_black03 said:
Ok well here is my site --> http://www.andyappz.com/cid.html
It replaces Steps 6-9 in Gold Card Instuctions Hope this helps some ppl...enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. When using the hexED program make sure you are copying ALL the gold card data, then placing your cursor at the front of the first line(0000000) and click on Edit > Paste Write. Then save. This should replace lines 00000 to 00170 with the data from the gold card.
Here are the directions again for everyone(ease and comfort):
1. Download QMAT http://revskills.de/pages/download.html
It’s a demo version so will only can open for 10 minutes.
2. Format your memory card to fat32. Please keep in mind some card does not work.
3. Search in your android market for ‘Terminal Emulator’
4. type ‘ cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid ‘ without the quote sign.
5. Note that code down on a notepad or something. Make sure everything is noted correctly.
6) Go to QMAT site http://revskills.de/pages/download.html, download QMAT 4.36
7) Extract the file, double click on qmat.exe
8 ) Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox
9) Look way below, there is a text box (beside “Reverse String” button. Key in the cid number you’ve got earlier
Click on the “Reverse String” button, the result is reversed…
Example: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
10) Copy the reversed cid
11) Go to QMAT again http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html to generate your goldcard (this is free for G1 phone, Thanks to Viper!)
12) Enter your email. For the CID, enter the reversed cid you’ve got earlier. However you need to replace the first 2 characters to 00.
Example: From “532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402” to “002600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402”
13) click Continue and you will receive the goldcard.img via your email.
14) Go to your email, download the goldcard.img and save it to a directory first.
15) Now, download HxD Hex Editor for this site
http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Edi...=uo&tag=button
16) Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program
17) Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
18) Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved to a directory earlier.
Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
19) Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
20) Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset 00000000 till offset 00000170, click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
21) Click on File > Save. You may exit this program
Now, do a test to see if your SD card is “compatible”
Disconnect the USB cable connected to your SD card, then plug it back again. Go to My Computer, you will see your SD card (E.g. “Removable Disk ( F” ), double click and see if you can access it. If it prompted you to format, then forget about this SD card, don’t think it will work. After trying for days, I ended up buying a Kingston 2GB card.

I have a MyTouch 3g rooted, running Cyanogens 4.1.11.1 rom. Any questions let me know as I know the process practically by heart now.

Big thanks to Geahboi for fixing my hours of frustration making the damn gold card. KUDOS!
Can I suggest that this be added to the wiki - then it will last longer than this post will. Ideally you would create a new wiki page with all the instructions, then anyone else can update them and improve them if they see corrections or simplifications.
See: XDADeveloperWiki - HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
Please help me keep our wiki up to date - I can't do it alone (and I know nothing about any of this as I did not need to create a gold card to root my phone)
Also add how to do the gold card with Linux?
I followed these basic instructions that I found on this originally here to make this work with ubuntu jaunty 9.04 linux:
download QMAT from the site above and either install wine packages or get the codeweaver wine package or use the website above to get the correct reversed numbers after adding zeros up front as it instructs.
visit the website to get the goldcard.img sent to you and save the goldcard.img file on your system
after getting the CID from the same card, I use a cheap USB card reader and not the phone to do the creation.
insert the card reader and create a fat file system. if your system auto mounts the disk, you need to unmount it but leave it plugged in and accessible. Now make a file system by doing sudo fstab /dev/sd? where the question mark is the disk drive that linux gave it. You can easily find it by doing a dmesg in the same terminal and look for the card information at the very bottom. Now create a file system using all the disk space on the card and change its type to vfat. Make sure you do this part!
Now format the card you just created by using the command "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1" as an example. This creates the vfat file system you need.
DD the goldcard.img to the card by doing "dd if=goldcard.img of=/dev/sd? where the ? is the drive designation linux gives it.
copy the sappimg.zip to the drive after formatting and dd'ing the image. very important and forgot this one when initially compiling this. sorry.
now remove it and test to see if linux will mount it as a vfat disk. If not, the card is most likely not suitable and you need another one or you did a step wrong. You can either mount it manually or let linux attempt to automount it. I don't like automounting so I turn it off.
place the card in the phone and go on with the steps.
I followed these steps twice and the only place that got me was with the actual card itself making a stupid mistake of using a different card for the CID and to make the goldcard.
If you see an error its operator derived and all mine. Just important I think to have a variety of the howto for folks on Linux only.
sorry but what's gold card ? ..

not sure of the exact definition, but essentially its an sd card specifically set up to be used on a cell phone for rooting purposes. the SD cards serial ID as recognized by the phone gets bound to it manually(per the instructions above) and allows the user to get past certain security practices on the phone which would other wise restrict your access to flash image files which is what you need to do in order to root your phone.
any one with more knowledge than myself care to elaborate?
p.s. before mods say it, these types of questions should go in the general section.
i type in the line to get the cid, but i never get the code. what am I doing wrong?

try doing this from your computer using adb. (you might have to research a bit to get adb set up on your pc as i will not go over it here)
otherwise, if you're lazy and like me...
1. Download Astro File Manager from the Market.
2. Open up Astro, and browse to /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1
NOTE: Press the green UP arrow in Astro to get back to the main (/) directory.
3. There will be another mmc1 folder with a colin and about 4 numbers in the directory name. Mines like this:
"mmc1:b368"
Open that folder.
4. LONG press on the "cid" file in this directory and click on "Open As".
5. Select "Text" from the list that pops up.
6. If you get a pop up for what program you want to use to view the file you can either use a text editor you have already installed, or the HTML viewer works too.
7. Enjoy.
Let me know if you have questions.
One other HUGE thing that messed me up. You need the sim card in the phone to get the correct cid #. With one phone i had 3 different cid #'s and was like what the hell?! I have done this with the wing many times. But i for got that you need the sim card. So please please keep that bad boy in there. I usually have a back up phone and use that while rooting or anything. Also i believe ADB is so much more accurate and easier to copy the numbers to be sure. In terminal after you have the cid go to file(for windows xp) select all, then while all is selected put the cursor over the very last number of the cid and drag to the first, then go to file again and select copy. If you have vista or win7 instead of going to file just right click at the top bar on the window to get menu options. fosho. . . .
Thank you ^_^
I keep getting "Error – Wrong Model ID". I have tried recreating the goldcard several times. I have a kingston 2gb SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
*nvm, I figured out the problem I think... after checking in the mmc1 folder for the cid instead of using the adb i found that i messed up on of the numbers in there so all is good i think

Creating a GoldCard

I know this documentation exist in several other forms. Just to make it easier for the nob like me here are the instructions.
DISCLAIMER: This guide and package are provided as-is. I do not accept any responsibility for damage caused by following the guide or using the programs.
Requirements :-
Spare microSD card
Windows PC (recommended)
ADB (part of the tools folder of the SDK, available for download here
HxD Hex Editor, available for download here
Creating a Gold Card Option 1:-
Step by step instructions
Install GoldCard Helper from the Android Market,
Run it and make note of the value listed after Card:mmc2, Reverse CID. It should be a long series of numbers and letters. (make sure to use mmc2, the default copy to clipboard copies mmc1 ..)
Visit this page enter the new copied number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Save the file attached in the email to your PC.
Install HxD Hex Editor on your computer, from the "Step 4 - Gold Card" folder.
Run HxD Hex Editor. ("Run as Administrator" under Vista and Windows 7).
Go to the Extra menu and select Open Disk. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck Open as Read only and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!
Go to the Extra menu again and select Open Disk Image. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.
Press OK when prompted for Sector Size (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.
You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image.
Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the Edit menu, choose Select All then select the Edit menu again and select Copy.
Click on the Removable Disk tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the Edit menu and select Paste Write.
Click on the File menu and select Save, accepting the warning.
Creating a Gold Card Option 2:-
Step by step instructions
Format the microSD card to FAT32 format.
Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.
Ensure you have unzipped the SDK, then open a command prompt to the extract location. Change to the 'tools directory.
Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.
Visit this page, paste in your number and reverse it. In our example the result would be 00544d5107943247039c7d22bd002653.
Visit this page, enter your reversed number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Open the HxD hex editor. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must run the application as administrator.
Go to the 'Extra' menu and select 'Open Disk'. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!
Go to the 'Extra' menu again and select 'Open Disk Image'. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.
You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image. Press OK when prompted for 'Sector Size' (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.
Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the 'Edit' menu, choose 'Select All' then select the 'Edit' menu again and select 'Copy'.

Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Save', accepting the warning.
You now have a goldcard!
Thanks to MiSSigNNo!
Thanks to Paul O'brien
Once you are done creating the Gold Card Please look at the following Post called HTC Inspire Hack Kit on rooting your phone.
just wondering, i've been a mac user for awhile now, and all that i really have at my disposal is an XP machine. will that work, or do I need Vista/7?

Alternative method?
I might have found an alternative method...havent been home to root the phone (my job locks the computers down, so i can only do so much right now). i backed up all my stuff, formatted my sd card, downloaded goldcard helper from the market, got the reverse number for mmc2 and entered it into http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and recieved the email with the goldcard.img. I then downloaded GoldCardTool to my PC (http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/) and clicked load goldcard.img and clicked patch mmc. it said success and my sd card booted fine. Did it work? is it a gold card? lol

morganblackstone,
Thank you for the alternate method. I will update the post once confirm if the gold card worked or not.BTW making a gold card is the first step of rooting until a one click root is available for Inspire. Good Luck.
great! hope i can contribute any way i can... i will post up tomorrow if it worked or not if no one else tries it...tomorrow is my day off so its rooting time lol thanks again! p.s. im coming from a captivate so any way i can find that is easier than the posted method, thats the shortcut im taking!

[Q] Need original ROM for HTC Snep S520 Mobilicity

Erased the firmware. Now I can not find the original.
yes, a bunch of us are still waiting for a kind soul to dump the rom of a mobilicity snap.
If you are stuck, you can install the official (signed) firmware for the HTC Maple from Wind at w w w.htc.com /ca/support/maple-wind/downloads/ but you need to make a goldcard to do that.
That's how I unbricked mine, but I want to get back to the mobilicity ROM to start it as a base for tweaking and I can't find it.
Not making a backup was not a very bright move from my part :-(

I do not have a donor.
It is possible to have someone send GoldCard realties in Ukraine.
Accordingly, for the money.
For earlier thanks!
You don't need a donor device, you just need a laptop with an SD card reader.

Thank you, do not get. Wrote that not registered.
I do not want to buy, suddenly will not work.
Made by this method:
Code:
So lets jump straight into the guide:
Format your spare microSD card to FAT32 format.
Put the microSD card in your phone and turn it on, once turned on attach your phone to your PC.
Download an app called GoldCard Helper from the market. Use this to get your mmc cards long number by following the app instructions.
Download the Android SDK
Unzip the sdk to any folder you like (eg My Documents).
Go to start menu > select run and type cmd followed by pressing Enter.
Replacing with the address you unzipped the file to, type >cd \android-sdk-windows\tools. eg cd C:\Users\Home\Documents\android-sdk-windows\tools
Type >adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid and press Enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.
Go to this page http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , paste in your number and click Submit. Copy this new number.
Visit this page, enter the new copied number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Save the file attached in the email to your PC.
Download and open the HxD Hex Editor, available for download here ("Run as Administrator" under Vista and win 7).
Go to the Extra menu and select Open Disk. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck Open as Read only and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!
Go to the Extra menu again and select Open Disk Image. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.
Press OK when prompted for Sector Size (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.
You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image.
Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the Edit menu, choose Select All then select the Edit menu again and select Copy.
Click on the Removable Disk tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the Edit menu and select Paste Write.
Click on the File menu and select Save, accepting the warning.
And there you have your new GoldCard. You are now ready to continue onto rooting your phone!

[Q] task rpcrouter:15 blocked (CDMA)

Same as posted here "I have an HTC [differing: Touch Pro (Alltel CDMA)]. I followed the instruction on forum.xda-developers.com for [FRX*] but it [enters an endless loop] at "task rpcrouter:15 blocked for more than 120 sec". The solution that worked in that link does not solve the same problem with a CDMA RAPH800.
The solution given there (paraphrased from that thread):
Link to the fix. The issue is caused by not having a data plan; the install gets stuck in a loop looking for a signal.
The solution that worked for a GSM phone
download RIL file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1302817139 and place in the root of microsd.
download rootfs file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1NGCVCTT and place in the root of microso.
add to the end of /conf/froyo.user.conf file "/sdcard/libhtcgeneric-ril.so /lib/froyo/libhtcgeneric-ril.so" before the last "}"
Please help me find a solution for a CDMA phone - next month I'd like to take a dozen of these phones and use them as learning aids in a construction course for laborers, but I cannot start testing construction applications since I cannot get the OS to work.
I'm curious as to what happens when you format your microSD and run FRX7.1MR without anything additional. Could I get you to try this method without the additional stuff?
To be explicit, I'd like you to format your microSD with something other than the Windows method and I'd like you to download THIS (if you haven't already) and THIS. Extract the contents of both files to the root of your microSD. You should see a folder called "FRX07.1" and under that folder, you should see 3 folders and 7 files. Move the contents of that folder up to the root of the microSD. Look under the folder called "STARTUPS" and locate your device type (ie RAPH800) and copy over to the root of your microSD. Once done, run Haret on your phone and let me know what happens.
do you have an application you suggest for "format your microSD with something other than the Windows method"; sourceforge did not turn up anything.

use SDFormatter
wow that SDformatter link has a lot of popups - this link feels less like I just found a date at the bus-stop sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3 ; but it will not install on either Server2008R2 x64 or Server2003 R2 SP2 x32.
I reformatted the microSd with the format tool in Server2008R2 as FAT format. Installed the files, and boom - I see little green guys swirling around the screen. After awhile a dialog appeared "Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"; the dialog closed and it seems like it works! Thank you. I will try again with the HPtool and as FAT32.
Now I just need to learn how to use Android - and the screen calibration seems off? Deleting ts-calibration and rebooting to calibrate.
Glad to hear using the latest bundle works for you! Yeah, that might be a slight issue with an outdated kernel. The main thing I wanted to do is get you booted up first!
Before we continue, make sure you make a backup of your current configuration by copying the contents of the microSD and either moving it to your computer or some other storage device. This way you know you have a "working" bundle.
Next we update the kernel package from HERE; might I suggest using THIS kernel package. Be sure to delete the old files (should be located under root of the microSD and called modules-xxx and zImage) first! Extract till you see two files then rename zImage-xxx to just zImage and feel free to delete the files you extracted from. I've always created my own ts-calibration file but just wanted you to have it, "just in case".
Additionally, you may also need to update the rootfs by deleting the file called rootfs and downloading THIS file. Extract the file and rename to just rootfs and be sure to place it where the file called Haret is (default location is root of the microSD).
files are downloaded and installed - everything seems to work
