Other than Gold Card? (PLEASE ANSWER) - myTouch 3G, Magic General

ok so i just hacked a g1 from scratch yesterday and started on my mytouch today...only to find that i get stopped on the sappimg stage. It does the update fail/ image to old or what ever....PLEASE HELP idk how to create a gold card...i am trying to avoid this at all point! I tried on 3 2g sd cards and still nothing...please help

Did you try flashrec? If that doesnt work, then goldcard it is!
I'm confused though, you don't know how to make a gold card yet you did it on 3 sd cards? What?
Thanks to unlockr, he just put this up!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645373
According to unlockr, you should try a 2gb kingston if everything else fails.
Lucky you, I stumbled upon this!
If you really wanna avoid the goldcard, then you MAY have to avoid rooting ^^

ok cool thanks alot (not rooting not an option lol)

o and what do you mean about flash rec....ima noob even though i got two hacked devices under my belt (familys g1's) ...all i know is im at 1.6 and i guess from their i have to go to 1.5 no matter what right? ionly found one way to do tht online and that was through the skateboard android screen and the sapppimg
am i wrong?

well I have no idea how to root a g1 as I don't use or read up about it at all, but to root a magic/mytouch, luckily I didn't have to downgrade or anything. All I did was go to the unlockr and it taught me how to root. They use flashrec there, take a look. You run an app and load up recovery and you're basically good to go. (I also flashed an eng spl after) I'm not sure if it'd work for you though, I don't have any info about your phone.

im 32b..fat32...android 1.6 what else do you need n how can i get it?
o and go to itsandroidsworld vid on youtube n it easy....
how did you root from 1.6 when the first step says go bak to 1.5?

I'm having the same problem, but it has nothing to do with the fact you have a 32B board. My last MT3G was a 32B, rooted with ease. However, T-mobile just sent me a replacement under warranty. Still a 32B, but with a different SPL. Its a perfected SPL 1.33.0007. I have not been able to root this yet and I've tried every method possible. The goldcard method is supposed to be the only way to root this as of right now, but it didn't work for me. I tried multiple SD cards and converted them to goldcards. I tried multiple SAPPimg files. Both zip and nbh files. No go. Some have claimed to have rooted this SPL but never seem to give much information as to how they did it, which makes me wonder. Anyway, check your SPL, post your specs on here and I'll let you know what can be done.
I have rooted that spl
if you want help PM me.

I PMed you, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
here is the sappimg i used(since no1 ever posts it)..aslo when makin ur gold card go 4rm line 0000 to 0170 that is what really messes up the card if done wrong!! if u need a link to the post let me know..i will help as much as i can
P.S. sdcard must be inside phone to get the info you need to make the goldcard.
Edit: where should i upload it?
check theunlockr.com
they have step by step instruction as to how root and flash your phone. They also have videos in case you are not sure if you are doing it right or wrong.

Holy hell... a lot of work

Alright, I have an HTC Magic which essentially acts as my backup phone since I have a Desire. I figured I would try my hand out at flashing a rom on the Magic. Am I missing something, because it seems like a LOT of work. For something that people make out to be so simple, it sure is a pain. Every step I take, I run into issues. At this point I need to:
- Make a Goldcard. (Actually done, I think...?)
- "Fix" my SPL as it's "perfected.
- Update the Radio since the "fix" will apparently mess it up.
- Update the recovery using a customer recovery image.
- Then maybe flash a ROM to it and hope it works.
Am I missing something...or is this WAY more work then people make it out to be. Looking through the forums before starting this... people made it seem like all you had to do was make a Goldcare, copy the rom .zip to it, and use the fastboot method to flash it. I have flashed ROMs on WinMo several times, and it's never been nearly this much run around...even when things mess up. I thought doing this on Android was easier then on WinMo...
So... am I missing something? Is there an easier way that doesn't involve all this run around? Even so, hopefully I have almost everything I need at this point. Is there anything else I am going to run into that is going to cause a need for even MORE work? Any tips here? Thanks.
UPDATE: On trying to flash the SPL "fix" it goes through the installation then tells me that the CID is incorrect. I have tried it 4 or 5 times, using two different cards. It shouldn't be wrong. Any help? Don't understand why it keeps telling me the CID is incorrect. I have noticed though, for some reason, every time I restart the Magic, it gives me a different number when trying to get the CID. Is there a way to bypass this? Have been trying for 4 hours and have gotten no where at all...

I guess that I should be moving this to General since this is a Q&A and not a means to simplify what you are trying to accomplish.
Moving to:

Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
Wow, do I know how you feel.... I recently got a Vibrant (galaxy s). So sine I got a new phone I unrooted my MT3g and sent it in on warranty since it was kinda scratched, so I can give it to my wife. Well with my first phone I was able to do the on click root since it came originally loaded with cupcake.... Well as it turns out if it comes pre loaded with donut you can't downgrade any more...lol So I had to do the gold card method.....it sucked.....
I can't even get stuff to work with the Goldcard. It keeps telling me the CID is incorrect... which it may be, since it gives me a new number every time I restart the damned thing. It can't be this hard to root all Android devices I hope... this is just ridiculous.

No, its not.... A good example is to root the vibrant you just flash a update.zip file...lol. But the sapphire/magic/mytouch is a great phone with allot of development support. But from what I understand one of the hardest roots..
Well that sucks. Kinda wanted to see how Froyo would run on it, and wanted to get a feel of how it was done before attempting it on the Desire. How did you manage to get the thing flashed?

the CID error tells me your gold card creation failed.
Check the process description at theunlockr.com. that worked for me.
My first mistake was formatting FAT and NOT FAT32. It must be formatted FAT32.
I used a 2GB PNY and it works great.
yes, our phone (the sapphire, magic, MT3G, whatever the carrier calls it) is one of the craziest to root. I have the 1.2 version that came out after the fender, so by default i need to do the goldcard method. I made the goldcard, but then my daughter dropped my phone, and i had to get it replaced, someone is currently borrowing my card reader, so i have to wait to root the new one.
one step from reading the forums that alot of people miss, is replacing the first two digits of the "gold card id" to 00.. you have to do this, or the thing wont work. at least if you're having issues on the gold card step you're not close enough to the steps that can BRICK your phone...
all i can say is make sure you follow the directions STEP BY STEP, i've seen a number of people who flash the wrong image first and it totally bricks the phone. in my case that would suck, as being on the non-contract plan, i get no discount for new phones.
hope that helps a little.
Yes, the zeros are critical but as I recall theunlockr link above (paste and cut) takes care of that for you. The gold card is the hard part to get right.. The rest is very straightforward.
Thanks for the input guys. Going to try a few more things.
Alright. Following the instructions. Step by step, I am still getting "CID Incorrect! Update Fail!"
This is very frustrating as there isn't any reason it shouldn't be working...

Not to thread jack, you know you can use any GoldCard with any phone, as long as it was made properly.
Any ideas on why this one isn't working then? Saying "Incorrect CID" when I try to flash anything with it.
Not sure. I know it took me 3 tries to get mine working right.

[Q] Bricked Wildfire after attempted Froyo Update, Please help!

First of all, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Im pretty new to all this and don't really know how things work here.
I think im pretty buggered, and im pretty far out of my depth now. Im just posting to see if anything can be done or if it's already too late. Sorry if im missing something obvious that can fix this, however after 3 days of messing with this stuff my brain is starting to blur lol. Ok so here it is:
Tried updating to froyo via the OTA update pushed out recently. That failed and ive tried various ways of getting froyo to install over the last few days using Clockworkmod recovery. I ended up pushing a load of system files onto my phone via adb just to let the updater-script get past assert's. The point is, this was obviously a bad idea as I now have some kind of messed up copy of froyo installed which will not boot up past the HTC splash screen. Problem: the half-cocked update replaced the Clockworkmod recovery with the stock recovery so I now cannot use nandroid to push a backup back onto the phone
To make things worse when I boot into the stock recovery I also can't get into adb/shell, it detects the device but just says offline. Tried a lot of things to get round this but nothing has worked. So as ive got stock recovery and can't seem to get into adb anymore it would appear ive pretty much run out of options unless something can be done with fastboot... I don't know what im doing with that though so any help would be appreciated.
HTC Wildfire T-Mobile UK
S-ON
HBoot - 1.01.0001
Radio - 3.35.20.10
Recovery - Stock
Im at the end of the road here. If anyone has any ideas to try I would be very very grateful, otherwise il have to go see how much T-Mobile wants to repair it
Thanks in advance !

You'll need a goldcard and an RUU. Look up how to make a goldcard and let me know when you have one
Wow, thanks for the quick reply
I did try creating a goldcard yesterday (using android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/). So assume I DO have one for the time being...
however if it doesn't work and I need to create a new goldcard:
Since I can't get into adb or boot up android and therefore can't access my sd card through my phone I presume il have to go out and buy a cheap card reader tomorrow.
Also, I have to run this command again:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
But if I can't get into adb how would I go about doing this, can I get the CID of the sd card from a card reader?
As for the RUU, there's many to choose from on shipped-roms.com, does this sound about right?
RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_130442_signed.exe
Thank you so much for your help.
This this a decent guide from Paul over at MoDaCo.
Ok disregard my last post about a card reader... I managed to borrow a friends android phone since it appears goldcard's are specific to the sd card, not the phone. So after following the instructions I now definitely have a goldcard.
Also have the RUU mentioned in the previous post.
RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35. 15.19_release_130442_signed.exe
Is this right, and what do I do with these now to get them on my phone? Ive tried running the RUU whilst in Hboot and in recovery but it wont recognise my phone, presumably because adb isn't working.
Thanks again for the help.
There is another way to do it when it can only get into hboot. I'll look today for the method and let you know.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Ah I did manage to get round it in the end. Using the PC49IMG.zip hboot method. Tried pulling the rom.zip from the temporary files that are made when running the 1.14.110.1 RUU. But obviously as I had a newer hboot or bootloader or whatever it was and it wouldn't let me downgrade back to this version. So I went for the newest one, 2.22.405.1 I think it was. With that in the root of the sdcard everything was up and running again after it had finished installing over the top of the messed up system.
Only worked because T-Mobile's OTA was a slightly older version 2.21.110.2, thank god there was a newer version available on the interwebs.
Probably not the best way of doing it but im just glad ive got a working phone again.
Thanks for replying though.
Just on a side note... its bloody ridiculous that its so hard to downgrade android!!! It causes people like me, who don't really know what they're doing, large quantities of banging-head-against-wall sessions

Yeah that's the method I was going to suggest, glad you sorted it out.
It's the fact that they lock out fastboot and stuff. If we had S-OFF from the factory, fixing these things would be so much easier
Hi,
how were you able to do this?

[Q] HTC Legend Unroot Problem (Warranty Purposes)

Before I get started, I have already tried whitetigerdk's guide. It didn't work, I keep getting update fail. I have also tried the Unlockr.com's guide. Didn't work.
I have also tried a bunch of different ways, like flashing a rom, or trying to get my nandroid.md5 backup to work, I just keep getting errors. I'm sure I've tried a couple other ways, and maybe a mix of two ways but nothing has worked so far, and I'm out of ideas. I'm 0 for like.. 8. EDIT: I've also tried using the clockwork recovery by flashing update.zip, does everything and seems like its back to stock, but I check phone info and it's still Rodriguez Style.
So here's the deal. My HTC Legend is running off of.. the Rodriguez Style with vivid sense rom, and just recently (couple days ago) a strip, up and down my screen, does not react to touch. Tried restarting, cleaning, whatever, it's ****ed. So then I knew I wanted to bring it in for warranty but i need to get the orginal rom back on, like how it was when I opened up the box.
I'm sure I need some more detail, so let me know and I'll provide all the info I can.
I appreciate the help! Thanks

That error I got for the RUU's was this "ERROR [130]: MODEL ID ERROR" when I used the LEGEIMG.zip way, I also got model Id error
I'm not exactly an expert, but when I had to unroot my Legend, I've used RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160328_signed from shipped-roms. Just plugged my Legend, ran the installer and all done.

OMG!!!!! I have the exact same problem on my legend. The vertical line region of the "C" key does not respond any more
Im sending my legend for repair tomorow
I had to un-root and return to stock too. Heres how i did it:
Download HTC sync and install
Go here and download your RUU shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Legend
Then, connect phone with usb debugging enabled and run the RUU
DONE!!!!!
Hey thanks guys but I've actually tried three different RUU's .
I've tried your froyo one, a 1.23 whatever, then one that was the exact same build number 1.31.xxx.4 or whatever, and non worked. I followed the instructions exactly but I get that error that I posted above!
I have no idea what to do, I've tried so many different ways..
And oh yeah, the vertical strip doesn't let me hit e, d, or x.. and I use e in every text at least 173509712365092 times aha...
Hm...have you tried with a goldcard? If not, make yourself one, then copy LEGEIMG.zip on it and run the bootloader.
You can also try the RUU with the goldcard inserted if LEGEIMG fails.
Both failed, I have had the goldcard in, tried LEGEIMG on bootload or w/e, and it loads the progress bar all the way then says Model Image incorrect or something.. and same with the RUU.. I've tried soo many ways .
EDIT: I've tried using other sd cards (not goldcarded) with LEGEIMG with no luck. Should I try making a new goldcard?
EDIT 2: Nevermind.. a) My other sd's dont work and even if I found one, the goldcard code/hex generator (or whatever) is down.
I don't know where I got it, it was probably some rooting/debranding guide here on XDA, but there's a GoldCardTool.exe goldcard maker that you just fill in the info and it makes the goldcard for you.
Thinking more deeply, that tool was for download somewhere on some HTC Hero dev site, and applies to all Android phones.

Thanks man, i found it and converted two cards to gold cards, then tried putting LEGEIMG on the card and doing the volumedown + pwr, but no luck, worse than my original gold card.. tried the RUU's again, and same error, 130 model error.
Think all the ways are spent.. my phones just apparently the devil phone..

Did the two sdcard you converted into a GC were from different manufacturers?
I had problems with RUU installation (had sandisk microsd as GC), but when I made a kingstone microsd GC - it worked (and no, it's not an indirect advertising )

Yup, one is SanDisk 2GB, then ones a no name sd, and the other is something different. None are kingston tho.. but like I said I swear my phone is the devil phone...
I'm thinking about trying to get the warranty if its rooted anyway (I have warranty with Virgin and Wireless Wave) so idk.. and if not.. I'm just gunna buy the Incredible on a 3 year contract aha..
Please tell me,if you made a goldcard,flashed,and then formated it again to use normally with the phone,does it still remain a goldcard?

Pretty sure once a goldcard, always a goldcard. But yeah I guess what I'm left with now is that I should try to bring it in for warranty, just don't tell em it's rooted and see what happens? Idk.
I should reformulate my question, i had a rooted phone with costume rom,but then went back to stock and updated to android 2.2 build 3.15,(the device is not branded)basically what you are saying,i can skip the goldcards process and proceed with rooting my phone?(mind you the previous owner of the phone had done the rooting and i have absolutley no xp in that stuff)

Ohhhhhhhhh, ok. The reason you were able to have a root done without a goldcard is because your phone is debranded, I've read that if your phone is debranded you do not need a goldcard!
Did you even search? I have made a thread in development on easiest way to unroot the Legend..

Before I get started, I have already tried whitetigerdk's guide. It didn't work, I keep getting update fail. I have also tried the Unlockr.com's guide. Didn't work.

Yeah.. I did search. Did you even read my post? I ask for help on forums as a last resort aha.
EDIT: It was either update fail, or model ID fail
I have the same problem with a Legend I got with Bell. I tried all the RUU in version 1.31 on the Shipped Rom website and always got the error 130. Just for fun I tried the one from bell mobility (version 2.02) and that one worked perfectly.

[Q] HBOOT wont flash ... HELP!!!

i am trying to root and put jellybean on my My-touch 4g. i know all the processes and i have gone through a great deal of time reading and watching videos. the first thing i was supposed to do was to downgrade my My-touch 4g to 2.2.1 since you can't root the version 2.3.4. well i downloaded the files necessary and put them on the root of the SD card and booted into H Boot.
so my problem is that the H Boot doesn't recognized the PD15IMG.zip ( hence me not being able to do anything). please help ....
i was also wondering if i could flash a Custom Rom through recovery without having to root or downgrade?
If the HBOOT doesn't recognize your PD15IMG, you might be either naming it wrongly or using an unrecognized SD card.
Grab another SD card or reformat yours, and try again. And again. And next time please use search for questions that have been already asked zillion times.
And if there was a simpler way, tell me, do you think that people would use more complicated ways for 2 years now?? Some basic logic.
And you posted in the wrong section.
thanks
thanks for the help.... but it didn't work ...
nothing works...
and the reason i decided to post my own thread was because i have tried almost everything on other threads and nothing worked i have also tried to use a different SD card and that also failed. and thanks for the advises but i already knew that ....
Did Ty check to see if the file is PD15IMG.zip.zip? If so, delete a .zip.Also make sure it isn't in a folder on your sd card.
If nothing works - then you're doing something wrong. Plain and simple.
Your MT4G isn't different from any other MT4G.
Look for what you're doing wrong. There are very few options.
