I created a gold card a few days ago to root my MyTouch and all went well. Phone got rooted, had Hero rom installed.. but now I cannot read any other SD card in the system aside from the Goldcard. Any device I plug in that is considered "Drive 1" is unreadable.
Is it now fubar or is there a way to un-do this crap?

could you elaborate more? is this a built in memory card reader? USB Reader? phone plugged in over usb?
have you try to reformat your card ?
I created the gold card with an external USB card reader.
XP cannot read the drive anymore, let alone format it. I have tried with multiple cards, card readers, etc.
I plug in my new Hero via USB and I get the "Please insert a disk" popup.
If I load up the HeX editor used in the gold card creation, it shows the Hero phone as Disk 1, which was the disk I did the Hex editing to.
As stated though, if I plug in any USB card reader and place the gold card inside, it reads that SD card just fine. Any other card says please insert disk. I have tried with 5 different SD cards.
it sounds to me like you need to uninstall drivers and reinstall. are you using windows xp or vista or what?
XP, but it looks like it's any device that ends up becoming "Drive 1" I have tried uninstalling drivers.
What does the HeX program actually do when you paste the goldcard.img values in?
Try booting your machine up with an Ubuntu livecd to see if it can read it
I had a similar issue to this and i solved it by inserting the card you want to format in the Mytouch, Mount the SD card through USB mode on the phone, and if it mounts as a drive through the phone, go ahead and format it there from windows.
Did that fix your other issues? I did the goldcard through an external flash reader, not through the MyTouch.. and as it would be, I do not have the MyTouch anymore, I have a Hero.
If I try and format the card on the hero it says please insert a disk.
The reason this is an issue is I cannot use HTC Sync nor the CoPilot Central software because it cant mount the phones SD card.
i created the goldcard through a reader and not the mytouch. once i realized that it stopped reading my micro sd cards, it tried to get it mounted on the mytouch running a hero rom which it was able to and i formatted it on windows while it was mounted. I think the issue now is that your micro sd adapter might be corrupted from the goldcard creation. do you have a spare micro sd adapter and reader available? try and see if you can see the card from there.
I should be able to mount the SD card from my Hero in windows correct? If so, this is a brand new device, brand new USB cable, brand new SD card plugged into a totally different USB port. Still doesn't work.
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)

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.
Take Care

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
hello there.I have a rooted(unrevoked) htc wildfire with a 2gb sd card.I want to change the 2gb card with a 8gb one.I have several questions about this:
1)Does unrevoked have anything to do with my sd card,i mean if i change the sd card will i have to root it again or will i somehow brick my wildfire?I dont really know how i rooted it...i just connected my htc with my pc and ran unrevoked...i remember i didnt do anything i just let it that way and after several reboots it was good to go.(is there unrevoked documentation available...for example i need to know what an hboot is...)
2)my 8gb sd card is formatted as FAT32...what types of format does android 2.1 support?and which is the best?
3)and one more dump question...will using a higher capacity sd card make my phone run slower than before...?although i think i already know the answer
thanks in advance
I'm trying to make a goldcard so I can root my phone. But I always get an error that supposedly has to do with the goldcard I attempted to make from a 8gb Sandisk class 4 microsd that AT&T gave with my phone.
You're picking the wrong device when you create the gold card.
Try picking the logical partition and not the physical device.
Have you tried the one click gold card maker in the developer section, with the the phone on disk drive while putting the goldcard img on it?
edit: it also depends on which method you use, for some reason the hack kit wouldn't let me make my scan disk into a gold card but it let me make my Kingston into one. I finally got my scan disk working using a one click to place the image on the SD card.
Desire HD
When I installed LeeDroid 3.21 I followed instructions and I formatted SD and made partition.
Today I downgraded my phone to stock 1.32 in order to use easy radio tool and to det super cid, sim unlock and radio s-off
i did it
now i wanna give a try to revolutionary hd 5.21 and decide should i use it or continue with leedroid.
In clockworkmod i formatted sd card and when I mount it on my PC I se external disk with 6.44GB capacity only.
Does it should be like that?
I doubt that partition which I made before has not been deleted when I format sd and i cannot see it now
i have no sd-ext option in clockwordmod
thanks
