I actually have the same issue except it says invalid directory. Also for Qmat where you are supposed to type a number, where does this number come from?
i was having the same problem, try this : download better terminal emulator from the market , press menu , initial command and then type in that code cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid and then press ok and then press the back key and reboot the device once it boots back up run better terminal emulator again and it should run the script for you which will show you the gold card code that you need
awesome.. i so read that you can not use the qmat 4.46 and that you have to use 4.36 and it is not on the site does anyone have a link to that?
ok, im going to try to make it easy for you..
1 - doesnt matter what version of qmat you have - i used 4.46 and it worked fine
2 - you need a kingston sd card - i can confirm success with kingston and failure with sandisk
3 - make sure you have android sdk installed (newest one preferred) and configured - CONFIGURED IS IMPORTANT! if you dont know how to install/configure - READ!!!
4 - once all is setup - plug your mytouch into your computer - for windows: start-run-cmd / linux/mac - open terminal
5 - make sure that you have usb debugging enabled on your phones
6 - in the cmd prompt/terminal type:
adb shell press return and you should have $
type: cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
the result should be a long string of numbers.... copy this string....
7 - open qmat and click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox
8 - paste the number into the blank and click reverse string - copy that string
9 - go to http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html
10 - follow the instructions on that page - you will be emailed your gold card...
11 - save your goldcard to your desktop or wherever you can access it -
12 - install HxD Hex Editor from here:
http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Edi...=uo&tag=button
13 - once installed, open HxD and click on Extra > Open Disk.
Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk, uncheck “Open as Readonly, click ok
14 - next open goldcard img from Extra - open disk image
15 - ctrl A to select all in goldcard image
16 - go to sd card tab (first tab) and place the cursor at the very beginning
17 - paste and save - answer yes to the dialog box.
18 - DONE
The sandisk 4gb card that comes with the mytouch worked fine for the gold card
In Better Terminal Adapter, press "ball M" as enter. The enter key on the keyboard doesn't work. That is the trackball and M at the same time.
Reminder. In windows 7, probably Vista also, run HxD AS ADMINISTRATOR!
Edit: Posted some screen shots so you can see what it should look like when you open the file in HxD. Hope it helps.
i am getting device not found? i went thru the guide http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/installing.html all is good. i have eclipse downloaded but not installed does it need to be?
I will try the Ball +M and see how that works
tried on phone "not found" is what i got.. debugging is checked i don't know what i am doing wrong. i am following all directions i tried once with phone not connected to pc and tired again with it connected and mounted /// idk
well i feel like a noob now. i have adb, i get to adb shell. i type in the command..and i get "no such file or directory" did i miss a step?
issues with gold card
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'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:

downloaded HxD and went to open! this is what i got.almost nothing. your correct has some letters and i have maybe 3 not alot like the wrong pic. i can e-mail the pic
I can confirm success with the sandisk sd card that came with the mytouch 3g from t-mobile.
ugh i was hoping i wouldnt have to ask this, but here it goes...
ive been reading a lot over the past week since i got my mytouch 3g. pretty much in preparation of rooting and flashing roms. im a total noob when it comes to HTC/Android modding (tweaked a few iphones over the past 2 years) and some of this is still greek to me.
i dont use windows often so i guess thats another step back for me as well lol. anyway...i plugged my device into a pc and prepared to make a gold card. i knew i had to select "usb debugging" before making changes but i didnt do it before i plugged the phone in. i was also in the process of downloading the android sdk file when i plugged in and i let windows set up the drivers for my device. it looks like im already stuck before i started is there anyway to reverse this? the steps dont seem to complicated but i just got off on the wrong foot here and im stuck.
when i go to start, run, cmd & type adb shell i get an error message along the lines of "device not found....internal or external command" (i dont remember the exact message. i tried it about 2 hours ago and i dont recall the exact phrasing). i believe i found how i got here i just need some help back tracking and starting over.

you are in the same boat as me. although even though i we plugged in the phone before sdk was installed with driver i when to system settings and tried to update the driver with sdk and i got "driver is up to date" so i don't think that is a problem, although maybe deleting the device would help. go to device manager and uninstall the device, its will be under the disk drive.
is any of that going to help?
*** i can't type in numbers in better terminal emulator help please ***
tried again this morning. removed original drivers and installed the drivers that came with the sdk package. that went smoothly. now i plug in, go to start, run, cmd....try adb and adb shell and get the same error message "C:\documents and settings\new user>adb shell 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program batch or file."
i thought i had the android sdk installed correctly but maybe im wrong on that. any insight? i get the feeling im way off track here...

I retried on my 32 bit win xp and got the same thing as you. that is 3 diffrent systems that i have tried this on and no luck.. i am following all directions to the "t" and still nothing- what are we doing wrong?
anybody? im stranded here lol.
step 1 and im lost...modding iphones was sooooo much easier! oh well, i like the challenege.
Having an issue with step 2 of the re-rooting part of this guide. No real experience with ADB or rooting HTC devices (probably my biggest issue), but after typing in "adbbat" into the command prompt it tells me that "adbbat is not recognized as an internal or external command..." for a whole bunch of files that are being pushed. Am I supposed to be doing anything else at as this is going on? The MT4G is plugged into the phone and set to "charge only" mode. Any help with would be greatly appreciated! (and remember, massive noob here)
Hi to all here. i just want to ask anyone what to do with my phone. well first of all, my phone is a sky pantech vega racer im-a760s, not really a match for samsungs popularity but budget wise this is the model for me. it has a dual core. now my problem starts when i started editing the build.prop in its system (tweaked for some texting problem of limited character sending). of course i know what im doing on that part, but the only thing i didn't think that would happen was, i copied it in my computer, i edited it there, then i saved it as "all" in file type so it wont become a ".txt" format. but when i placed it in my phone. the file instantly disappeared, i think it was only hidden and the phone just cant identify it nor read it like something. now i restarted the phone, it booted up to its logo then it just went blank and it just stops there. i tried pushing recovery with adb in my pc cmd. but it cannot detect my device(no problem with my adb installation to eliminate this from the question), i also tried putting an sd card with a recovery file but there was no option for sd card path. but the phone can still function well, i know because it can still be loaded under flashboot, download screen and S / W upgrade menu and it can still perform wipes for all partition and caches and can reset for factory settings etc. but whenever i will reboot, its not going to complete. anyone please help me how to make my phone be detected by my pc. The usb drivers are just fine, updated it many times, read all procedure for making the driver connect perfectly. i reformatted the sd so it wont be a problem when i put it in. but in the recovery menu i just cant see my sd card, theres just the option for "update from external storage" but it doesn't have anything inside. what a mess. i cant make my phone reflashed cause its not responding with the connection with my pc. but when i am opening an odin (just used for connection monitoring) there are two yellow boxes with com port like these: 0:[com7] and 0:[com9], so i know it is still somehow communicating with my pc. please help any advice, i dont want to resort to jtag for im not sure if it will support my phone and it's already avialable for the model but definitely not going to send my phone for repair cause it will be costly. thanks to all who will respond. Please help thank you. additionally: OS was ics version 4.0.4 and rooted. already gone through rooting several times with no problem. just the editing part.
to edit Android files on Windows use only Notepad++ anyway do not use Windows notepad this is for Windows files formatting only
well, you have to get build.prop from your phone edit on PC then copy back
so enter recovery connect phone to PC create a folder say C:\tmp
to get build.prop from phone
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mount system
exit
that's to mount system partition then
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\tmp\build.prop
edit it and copy back to phone
Code:
adb push C:\tmp\build.prop /system/build.prop
maybe is not your case ? but I wanted to give you an idea
@ruscan.calin
Thanks, great. i will try this one once i get my phone recognized by my pc, adb seems not able to find my devcie have this message like this one:
"
c:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully *
list of devices attached "
and that's it nothing happens.
thanks for the advice i will definitely use this once i get my phone connected with my system. thanks a lot

start phone in recovery mode do not connect to PC at this time
open Device Manager now connect phone to PC
if you see ADB Interface connecting in Dev Manager it's ok if not you have a problem with phone drivers so install it again

Hi, cant still afford to make the adb component in my device manager to appear, but it's good to inform you that it helped me a bit because i was able to see the storage of my phone and i was also able to put some files in there without any hassle that alone was satisfying me that my phone is not really dead. sad to say i did everything i could to have my pc detect my phone via recovery menu, but still no devices found. it's really weird that some links are saying that i should make my phone's "usb debugging" enabled, wherein fact i cant even go beyond my original problem(bricked phone), i can't even see the inside of my phones directory, only the storage one that was activated just recently. i even did a reinstallation of my usb, uninstalled every other phone related usb installation to avoid conflicts reinstalled my phones proper usb installer then restart. no progress still to be called. it makes me feel that the phone was just trap in the state of booting and not knowing what to do because it cant see any command inside its system. i cant go into the systems directory as well. and that's the only way i think i could revive my phone in replacing a new build.prop, as you advised to be edited in a notepad++ which i recently acquired and installed. by the way how do i save the build.prop to its original file format, and what is the extension. thanks alot for helping out. im getting a little brighter each step of the way, im not loosing it to come to smashing my phone to pieces instead of keeping a very expensive paper weight.
usb debugging enabled is not useful in this case (you can't set it )
build.prop is a file with .prop extension save file with notepad++ name it build.prop then check location of file it should be build.prop notepad from Windows saves it as build.prop.txt that's not good also notepad adds some formatting characters inside file that's wrong so use only Notepad++ when working on Android files (or VIM for Windows editor etc anyway do not use Windows editors they are good for Windows files only)
-try these things on another computer (to install drivers etc)
-I advised somebody to send a mail to manufacturer and he got a reply with a link to stock rom... that's great !
-if you link me your build.prop file I can tell you if it's ok
-pc link - that's to be solved firstly check manufacturer site for sync software/ drivers even send mail

that's great news, you actually come to emailing the phones manufacturer? wow, im flattered. well you're a very nice guy to help me out on this. and i have good news too. i found out that i have a little conflicting usb drivers, as i have installed samsung for my previous phone(samsung galaxy 1) i had it liquidated for this new one. but a little hard on the support. you gave me a new idea about the usb. so i uninstalled all the related usb drivers and have it reinstalled. now i am able to communicate with OTA firmware server, and i got a reading that was not happening before(stucked in just detecting the phone) now i have a percentage reading of downloading or so. but i still have to wait if it will complete and have it repaired. so by now you can give me a little more help cause im still not at it in pushing through the use of adb programming. and the link you mentioned, i'll wait for the progress about it and see what really was it. and thanks a lot. really appreciate it.
fixed bricked phone via OTA by fixing link to pc.
Hi, i thank you for your help. i managed to fix the phone myself. i just missed the simple step that you advised me. fix the link first to pc. i have installed another model of the phone for the same manufacturer with different type so that was causing the mixed up for updating and recovering via the OTA site of the phone. so yey. you helped a lot. i thank you. i am now running at ics version 4.0.4 and now rooted. i will not commit the same mistake of saving the build.prop with another format. that was bad. so then i'll be very careful in editing the build.prop and first of all, i will keep a backup inside where i can access it even if it will be hard bricked. never forget that one from now on. so this is it. i thank you. of all the place ive been circling around for answer. here is where i found it. and just one person. hooray. thank you very much.

feedback is an invaluable resource ! (some just forget about that from my experience :laugh: NOT your case ! )
Okay. I have been trying to do other things with rooting other phones besides my HTC Rezound. I've rewritten a exploit so it will work on Mac. But this is a general problem. I deleted the Emulator and every single thing but the platform-tools on the windows side of my computer. So the only thing I have on my computer is the platform-tools folder (aka fastboot and adb) So I have tried what almost every forum has said. The adb kill-server. I restart it. Still there. I've tried to individually kill it still there. I've unplugged my device and ran adb still there. The Emulator is Port 5554 offline. I can't get it to come online, I have spent hours trying to kill it. This is one reason that stopped me from rooting on a windows because this stupid emulator won't go away and it never has. I've never ran eclipse on the windows side or to say that never anything but the adb and fastboot. Only the Mac side have I done other things. Please if anyone could help that would be nice. It'd save me time from having to take the .bat files and changing them to sh files and opening with text edit, editing the file to work with terminal, then sh run the file and it not work then back to the drawing board which after rewriting some stuff over and over is a miracle to see it finally execute the exploit. Thanks for any help. I would gratefully appreciate it. Thanks. This is the also what's from keeping me going s-off to. It's annoying and I would really love to fix the issue. I will take any advice. Just saying though the adb kill-server and a lot of other commands are not working and not doing the process. Please anyone who would like to help. Just put anything :$ Please and Thank you.

Recently I was playing around with my Samsung GT-P3110, having just rooted it.
I transferred a file using adb push, it appeared to work, the problem is now I can't get it off, nothing I do using root and command line on the tablet or root explorer makes it budge!
I did the transfer after an aborted rom install which left my tablet going straight to CWM recovery, I was trying to transfer a backup onto the tablet. Trouble is that I am now running low on space and this folder is about 2Gb.
I can't see an adb command to delete from the tablet, plus adb is no longer seeing the tablet either!
Any ideas?
Cheers,

I followed you on your little quest for an answer, and was saddened by the response. Not one helpful word, just a bunch of people telling you to go somewhere.
I don't own a Tab myself, but encountered the exact same problem on my G3. There was no way to edit the permissions, so Android considered it untouchable.
The solution is an easy one and I can't believe no one could spare the time to say "Delete it in Recovery" but that's what it'll take.
