I have a DREAM, to use my DREAM!!! :'(

Reassuming:
1) Tried to Update to RC33 my new Gphone and Failed!
2) Tried to wipe and retry the update and fail again.
3) Repeat STEP 2 for some times
4) Try to flash from bootloader with RC29 (DREAIMG.nbh) but fail.
5) Use DREADIAG.NBH that say me: 00028002
6) Qmat 4.24 say me:
a) When I click "Get SD Card Serial from Wince Device" on Omnia i900 [Win Mobile 6.1] the Omnia say: "There was a problem with device.exe"
b) If I continue, then click "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD", Qmat show me an Error popup that say me: "Done writing SD card to WINCE Device"
Now my phone is still dead.
Any ideas???
Crying...(while wait your answers...)

when you power on the phone, does it go to bootloader or to recovery? did you have the HardSPL installed already? and do you have a micro SD card reader

The Phone goes ONLY in Bootloader mode.
I have the MicroSD USB reader.
I have the original SPL.

kinda sounds like a bad SD card to me -- did you try another one?

ok, go to the thread that gives you the walkthrough on rooting the phone, and get the RC29 or RC7 from there, if your phone was already on RC30 or above then get the 29, if you were on rc8 or above then get RC7. then you need to format your card in the reader to FAT32. then unzip the file you downloaded a minute ago and rename the .nbh file to DREAIMG.nbh and try again. from the looks of it you had a CID error, though i have never gotten one of those so i don't know exactly what they say. try again to flash the .nbh file in the bootloader

I have change 3 SD card...but the Flash don't work.
Say me:
____________
Update Terminated
UPDATE FAIL
____________

Tuba I have tried ALL the US DreaIMG that I found on the WEB! ALL!!!
But the results is the same...
I have tried to use QMAT but don't help me...

Are you using mac to format the sdcard? Sometimes, at least for me, if I format on my mac before putting dreaming.nbh on the card mac will add extra little files to the card that the phone does not like. Make sure to FORMAT the card to Fat32, then copy the file, then do NOTHING else with it before putting it back in your phone and flashing it. Also as stated above, re-download the file to make sure it isn't a corrupted one. If this isn't your case, sorry for wasting your time.

Have you had any luck?
I also have a bricked US G1 with original SPL. I was thinking of using QMAT to create a goldcard image so I could load DREADIAG.NBH since the one I have must be CID locked / for another CID (I get the 00028002).
Thanks.

I have successfully loaded a DREADIAG.nbh for a different CID using a goldcard image. Now, some stuff in there didn't work as expected, and the service manual if a bit short on info in that area. Also, it seems to work with RUU for some things. I'll have to grab a windows box tomorrow and see what I can do there.

[Help] Downgrading German G1

Hello Everyone,
For quiet some time now I've been trying to get root on my German G1 on RC9.
I've been trying to follow the guides that are on this forum, but everything on here is so scattered D:
Right now I'm having difficulties while trying to downgrade to RC7.
What I've done so far:
Get the SD Cards Serial.
Reverse it.
Zero the first two digits.
Make a goldcard image.
I then formatted the SD Card and copied the RC7 DREAIMG.NBH onto it.
After that, I went into linux to dd the goldcard on the card aswell.
Now...After I try to access the bootloader, it will Load the Image, Check the Image, and then give me the usual "not allow" error.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anyone able to help me out?

How exactly did you make the goldcard.img? Did you use qmat or the online generator? I don't think that you need to reverse or zero anything for the online tool...
PM me if you need further assistance in creating the goldcard.

Yes you need to reverse the serial and zero the first byte.
@Bavilo
We need more details to help you. So post everything you did so far. (CID, commands you used to format and to flash the img, ...)

Thanks for the responses!
Here's a little more info.
CID: 03534453553032478021452741008b8a
(could someone generate a correct goldcard.img for me?)
I formatted the card in windows. Fat32, 4096 allocation size.
I wasn't sure on the dd part, but this is what I used:
dd if=goldcard.img of=/dev/sdd
that gave me the correct response. Although the card is called sdc1. Maybe that was the problem?
Also I do not have a usb card reader, so the card is still plugged into the G1 while I'm doing all this. Will that make it not work?
Thanks in Advance

Finally I got it!
I used the wrong node for the sd card. It was sdc....not sdd...<_<
I will be performing the downgrade now. I'll report back if there are any further problems. Stay tuned ^^

Not good D:
"Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL"
now what...
Edit:
The SD card now seems to be dead...I can no longer format it. So I'll have to get a new one first and then attempt to update my G1 again...sighhhh

The sd card shouldnt die that easily. Try to put the card in your computer and open gparted on linux. You should see the card in the list.
If it doesnt show reinsert your card and post the output of "lsusb" and "dmesg |tail -30".
If you want i can help you in german. My jabber name is k[email protected].

Hmmm...
I'm there now too... I have a german G1 RC9 and struggle to downgrade it.
I used the 2GB card of the phone
Online generated the Goldcard.img
DD't it to the sde (thats the correct one) using a card reader
copied the DREAIMG.nbh (maybe capitalisation?) on the sd
reboot -> not allowed and a red number ->Bootloader ->nothing
Did I miss anything? maybe first copy and the dd? I thought I tried it.. but hard to remember at 2am and fixing the filesystem 'cause I dd't to sda Grrrrr

Ok I managed to root my phone now!
Turns out that the slot for the mircosd card on my card reader was busted...<_<
Also the reason the Update Failed in the first place, was because I copied the extracted DREAIMG.NBH file onto the sdcard using ubuntu. Which must have corrupted it.
The way that made it work was to go into windows, move the RC7.zip onto the sdcard, and extract it on the sdcard. The update passed the first time
Thanks to everyone who has helped me!

Using linux do a "dmesg" and check the node name of your sd card. Make sure you dded the goldcard onto the right sdcard. If you still get the "not allow" error, then you're goldcard is at fault. Maybe you didn't type the correct cid?

I finally managed it:
The mistake was:
Most howtos say, after reversing the CID you should add 00 at the beginning and use this to make the goldcard.
WRONG! I just used the reversed String and this finally made it possible.
Hope this helps

can someone genrate me please a correct goldcard?

i cant manage to do it.
please help.
thanks.

Read the guide for NOOBS.
You know, the one clearly marked, read this first.
I had the same error every time. I had to read the guide and install it from an SD Card.

Have you formatted the card appropriately ?

What's your memory card model?
I have two memory cars, one is Transcened which I can't update with that (no image found) and one is SanDisk which I update my device with that. So, check your memory card compatibility and be sure it is formatted to FAT32.

[Q] [Prob] Goldcard doesn't work - "not allow"

Hello,
I've decided to unlock and flash my HTC 7 Mozart. So, I have to downgrade SPL. I thought the method via goldcard would be best for this and so I tried it. Soldered a perfect USB cable for that according to the pictures shown on separate threads here.
First of all, my phone specs:
HTC 7 Mozart
Got it with Mango 7.5
Firmware version atm: 2250.21.51201.401
-> So I think Phone ROM version: 5.12.401.01
B/c of my CV I have a HTC_Europe operator.
To downgrade SPL, I downloaded this:
3.2 BR: RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_Radio_5.51.09.06 _22.30.50.09U_by_ansar
Right until here, or am I false?
I've put the .nbh (called MOZAIMG.nbh) to my SD card (also tried USB stick), used the GoldCardtool 0.0.5 and patched the GoldCard.img (a generic one) to my removable stick/sd card. Then I just put everything in and started my phone in USB host mode. Well, it worked flawlessly, but as it loads the data from my stick/sd card, it shows up:
"not allow"
...
and later: "serial"
I don't know why this happens. I think, the gold master patch wasn't done properly? Do I have to do the thing manual in a hex editor? I've read that, but is it truly the thing I have to do?
Thank you!
Keynot

why you dont use the ansar slspl rom?

Well, I just followed this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21054629&postcount=3
Thanks for your hint.
I've tried several ROMs and always get the same Errors...
When trying with goldcard, every ROM I tried shows "Not allow".
And every time I try with standard USB flashing, I get an Error: "invalid Vendor ID".
Is it possible, that my device is no "Europe device"?. I've found several threads about this topic, but none helped...:-(
Tried following ROMs:
RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_Radio_5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar
RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.01_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar
RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_Europe_5.13.401.01_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50_RELEASE - to upgrade SPL to 5.13. some claimed SLSPL could work then. but nothing changed. Error or "Not allow"...
Pls help!

Hey bro belive me this problem is very easy...
Me too have same phone and same operator(EUROPE)401 and i already flashed custom rom.
I also encounter this same problem my SDcard(2gb)didn worked not allow showing then i dont know how but i downgraded my mozart by patching my sd card's goldcard to my 4gb flashdrive its of sandisk.
This problem lies in Goldcard and wrong usb storage(pendrive,sd,etc) device.

For a rom you can check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858599 it worked for me.

[Q] Noob upgrading problem

Hi guys,
I have managed to root my samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 and have cwm on it too. Looking good so far!
I copied the zip files to my sd card but when i try to install the zip file i get the message of error in sd card, aborted! Status 7

My phone is firmware 2.2.1 fROYO

Any help greatly appreciated especially if in the simplest terms
Tried with a different file and got this
[Q] E:Can't open /sdcard/CM10-v9.4.zip (bad) Installation aborted
Thanks, Tim

At first, try a different SD card. Maybe you can borrow one for some experiments from a friend ? Zip files with OS images tend to be big, they have bigger probability of exposing a hardware card problem, which isn't exposed so frequently when handling smaller files like photos and MP3s.
