I have a dump of wim6 that I want to transfer off the transflash card. I have been doing a lot of reading around the entire forum regarding this. Most people say once you backup using the r2sd method your windows machine will no longer read the sd card. True, sorta. There's a hex editor out there that can read the disk and this is the method you can use to extract content. The information I have found is vague and sparce but it does seem possible. Does anyone have any experience with this and can you guide me?
Thanks much!
I am in a bad situation with my rooted, now semi-bricked G1 =[
I had cyanogenmod and RA recov. I installed a new theme directly from the CM updater app; then on reboot, my phone would not boot into the OS (stuck on logo, before loading screen). So I tried to overwrite the phone with cyan again. It wouldn't work so then I was left to flash the phone and start over. Upon flashing, I got that b#$6h of an error. Then the "RUUNBH".
Now upon turning on my phone (In any way) it comes to the colured screen. When I try to flash a nbh, I get the "not allow" because my SD card needs to be a gold card.
The only method now is to gold card my SD. Which I cannot figure out anymore because all the methods I would need a WinMo phone or an working Android phone, neither I have access to.
In short, does anyone know how I can get a SD card's CID without a phone. I DO have a laptop with a sd card reader and CAN get access to a external USB sd card reader.
Any help?

Buy a cheap winmo phone? Something that has whats required. There has to be an old one that can do it for like 20 - 30 dollars. I don't think it's possible otherwise.
I think it may be possible to get the CID with a sdcard slot (not USB), usually within a laptop. Recently, I found this: jo0ls-dotnet-stuff.blogspot.com/search/label/SD%20Card%20CID
I used his source and threw in a couple lines to debug why it wasn't working, but it seems the laptop I own doesn't have a support SD card slot, so I will have to go see someone who has a internal SD slot on their laptop.
A winmo phone for $30?... By any chance of pointing me in the direction of such item(s)? (I am Australian)
SuperCID
Though this thread is for the Topaz, IMO pt 5.1 and especially pt 5.2 are interesting for you;

Thanks for your suggestion. But it is possible that you would still need to get her a CID. I am wondering if it is possible to overwrite the whole SD card through the tool that is used to edit your SD card and into a 'goldcard'.
I PMed the person who was recommended in that thread, fingers crossed.
SD card reader that can read SD/MMC 32 bit CID
Hi There
I think this might be useful to anyone that sits with the problem of reading the 32 bit serial number/CID of a SD/MMC card.
I have managed to get firmware written for the Addonics eSata/USB multi-card reader model AEPDDESU with a small application that will read and display the CID number.
There is no other way to read the CID number through USB on PC other than having the the chip set inside the reader relay the information back to the host when it receives an application defined command,like for instance DeviceIoControl.
If anyone is interested drop me a mail and i will gladly mail u the firmware + utillity .One will need to buy this drive though.

Dear friend.
I am looking for solution to read Serial No from SD card. I made special software which is runing on every pc on out company an check all inserted USB memory keys. Then compare serial no with database and if not registered is used we get warnings on IT section that not registered usb key was used.
Unfortunatelly i have problem with sd cards because i always get serial number of card reader and not serial no od SD card.
Is there some way to get serial no from SD card via Card reader? Can you send me the model of card reader which is possible to read this SN + Software?
Is there some dll or component for reading usable for .net visual basic?
Thank you for informations.

Write or modified Cid of sd card ?
Translated with google translation
Hello you know how to modify the cid of a card sd ??
thank you in advance
About to get the Inspire and get right on with rooting, although I've been reading and not understanding how this goldcard works completely. I guess my concern is the errors some users are getting? Where they need to use another HTC device to get the right cid code or something? I dont have another HTC device, can I actually lock my device out? Please advise as I'll risk rooting only so far. Thanks, maybe I'm just blowing this out of proportion.
if you follow the instructions in the hack kit, you shouldn't have any issues. this was my first experience with creating a gold card and it went smoothly. just be patient and persistent.
I am also about to buy the Inspire. So can we use the bundled SD card for the gold card? or do we have to have a spare card for emergency restore and stuff?
You can use the card it comes with.

Good question as I was going to use a spare one. I might as well use the one it came with. I'm about to begin. whats the worst that can happen?

I will probably keep a spare one around. Would you recommend that?

use whatever works. just keep in mind you can't use the goldcard.img file you get from the email on any card other than the one you got the serial number from. I bought a 16 GB card to use with my phone anyway, so I used the 8 GB it came with and put it in a drawer in case I ever need it again.

Oh okay. I have 1 8GB with me right now and I will get the one with Inspire. So is 8GB enough for the gold card so that I will keep it for .img file?
I will keep the spare in my phone.
Sorry I am a total noob in this. I come from iPod family
It will work with a 2 GB card minimum from what I read.
what does that mean? i have a 8 gig myself so just process for a goldcard.img? then save then use if needed?

The goldcard was only necessary to get past the very first stage of rooting. A goldcard is used to force the device into accepting a ROM that was not designed for the particular device (in the case of Inspire, you must install a DesireHD ROM to be able to continue with the rooting process).
Once you're rooted, the rooting process sets SuperCID in hardware so a gold card is no longer needed, even if you want to install a ROM not designated for your device.
In short, use your 16GB card just as you normally would (maybe save the 4G in case you ever need to root a different device).
Thank you for your fast reply.,
i understand the idea behind the goldcard beter now,.
hi
I've received my bigger sd card today
just wondering what's the best way to get this working ?
do I need to format it ? With what ? Anything special
also copying the stuff across can I just use windows ? Or a special prog better
thanks in advance
It'll most likely work as it is, you should be able to copy your files across within Windows. Any important missing Android files should be replaced after you boot up your phone with the card in place.

^^^^^^absolutely right
After doing as much research as possible and having all the necessary tools to root my phone and flash the ROM I want.....I was wondering if it's encouraged to have a micro SD card in the phone before doing so. Is it safer to have one?
Thanks

It shouldn't really be safer but I used an SD Card to store all my Roms, gapps, etc, just in case I have to use a cleaner which formats the Internal SD (G2x Scrubber I think)
Appreciate the replies. I think i'm going to go ahead and root my phone and install hellfire without an SD card..
It is possible for me to go ahead and buy one after the fact and use it for future purposes in case I decide to flash a different rom?
Also, for rooting the G2X I have been given 2 ways of doing so. One is to use superoneclick. The other, is to simply manually flash CWM on my PC and from there install a custom rom that is already rooted. The second method was given to me because superoneclick does not work for the G2x if it's on 2.3.4 which is the current update that I am on.
