HI, I am trying to root a Mytouch 3G that has a perfect SPL so I need to create a gold card for it.
Problem is when I try to get the cards CID i get an error:
cat/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid: not found
I know for sure the card is formatted FAT32 and I have tried with 3 different cards, one of them is the same card I used to root another Mytouch and it worked before but it doesn't work now.
Even tried a different phone and get the same errors. Any ideas what the problem could be?
Are you using the adb shell or are you using the terminal app?
I typically use adb shell (and yes the device is connected) but I did try the terminal app as well and got the same error.

you need a space between cat and /sys
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
not
cat/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

Also, make sure you format the sd card in your phone.

i think my card is fried or corrupted cuz i popped it in paragon and i had like 7000GB on a 4gb class 6 card?..any ideas on how i can fix??
If I were you, boot into linux on your computer if you have it and format it using fdisk. If you don't have linux, then get it Besides that, if that fails, then your SD card is f*ck*d, and you might be just better off getting a new one.

Might be a silly question but have you tried just formatting it in Android?
Settings > SD Card > Unmount SD then Format SD.
Worth a shot anyway.

Doesn't sound promising. What brand card is it? Did you ever fiddle with the partition table (i.e. to do apps-to-sd)?

damn there no way to bring it back??...i dnt think ill b able to get a new one.
The problem is, the phone or an SD card reader won't read it. IF somehow you can get it to recognize the card, you should be able to reformat. If not, why wouldn't you be able to get a new one? Staples has 2MB for 8 bucks.

When you plug into your PC, does it recognize the drive as E or F?

If it shows up as a device in windows it's not fried. Paragon should be able to fix it. I highly recommend downloading a Linux livecd or liveusb image that has gparted on it. That'll help you fix this in a jiffy.

It cant mount anything cos your partition table is jacked up. Open gparted and just clear out whatever is in there and create a new partition table.

Ok I get as far as the gold card part where it says put the sappimg.zip to memcard, but when i load up bootloader it doesnt pick it up? It says a whole bunch of things, i am asking is a card reader req? I used my G1 as the card reader. And it didnt say format? also im using 1Gig Kingston SD could that be the issue? does it have to be 2gigs?
Nvm, I figured it out! The video i was watching didn't say anything about formatting it to FAT32 that was my prob.
I also want to add that I used the adb shell command to get the cid #. I tried terminal and it gave me a different number then adb. I was getting pissed because I know how to make a gold card and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. It was just an incorrect cid.
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
i have a kingston 2gb SD card that i used to flash my magic with, for some reason the computer / me decided to format the card by mistake as i have another 2Gb card the same, ever since then i am unable use the card as a gold card as it keeps asking to format everytime i have followed the process, any ideas what would stop it from functioning???
problem i have is my phone is currently only able to boot to the 3 skateboard screen and not into android itself, i have got another 2 Kingston cards but cant acquire the CID from them (unless there is a way without the phone?)
any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Get a usb connector fr it fro radio shack they cost like 14 bucks then use it to connect to your compter thn follow the goldcard instructions in the link in my sig.

problem i have is that i cannot acces the OS only the HBoot or FastBoot screens, i accidently flashed the wrong verion of software after following someones advice on this site, so i am unable to format the card(s) with the phone,
i have bought 3x Kingston cards and none work with the gold cards, i have gotten the CID via linux which should work fine, but everytime i edit 00 -> 170 and remove / reinsert card it tells me i need to format again
still any ideas??

Try the Goldcard tool:
(replace hxxp with http to get the working link)
hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
Read this thread
Okay, my Magic has been resurrected from boot loop. Problem is, it will no longer recognize any SD cards. I've tried 4 different cards (3 different brands) and none work.
I'm told that I need to root the phone and load recovery, etc using the gold card method.
Now, I can tell you that Hboot does detect the SD card, as it sees SAPPIMG.ZIP if I put it on there. However, since I can't get my card's CID number because the phone won't detect the card, how can I create a gold card to get through this?
Please help, thanks
1. Wipe all phone, without memory card inside.
2. Use small capacity card and no SDHC type, for exp. 128-512MB.
3. Try to use fastboot mode by ADB, maybe PC cans read CID from card through your phone.

1. I've tried this, no luck
2. I'll have to dig around to try and find one of these. Going to be hard to find.
3. I've tried with my existing cards (smallest is 1GB. Nothing.
Thanks, I'll give #2 a try if I can find one.
And remember to format it by FAT32 !

Yup, I've done that.
The problem isn't with the cards, it's with the phone. These cards worked in the phone in the past.
You got a friend with an Android based phone? If so you can use that one to create the goldcard for your phone.

A couple of my coworkers do. I'll give it a shot in the office on Monday.
Thanks.
Problem solved!
All I had to do to get access to my SD card again was run this command in fastboot:
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
I'm back up and running, woohoo!!!
Hi all, I have Magic 32B (vodafone) and am following this rooting guide.
I got the "Incorrect Model ID" error, so made a goldcard using this guide, the 1st two sd cards i tried were not kingston ones so i wasnt that surprised when the pc said they needed formatting. Earlier i bought a 2gb kingston one and went through the process again, but the same thing happened, i tried again just incase i made a silly mistake but no joy
I followed the guide to the letter im pretty sure, what can i be doing wrong?
Any help very much appreciated.
Are you getting the new CID for each card when your swapping them out? Your apparently messing something up or it would be working.
I am yeah, i just tried a 4th time, the numbers i get (the kingston cards cid, reverse cid are the same each time so it cant be a typo etc.
I replace the 1st 2 chars with 0's to get the goldcard.img, format the kingston (using win7 format, fat32) then rewrite the *000 to *170 on the formatted card, and it wont read it.
Am i formatting it wrong?
Has that program to get the reverse cid changed at all? its called psas now.
Has anything changed about the .img's they email for free? does something else need to be done to it?
Are all kingston cards compatible?
I used a SanDisk when I made mine. Are you sure that your overwritimg the correct lines in HexEditor for the SD card? I ran into that problem ehen I made mine.

Is that correct?
If you are running ubuntu you can do this:
1) if you already have the CID, use these sites (h ttp://hexrev.soaa.me/ and h ttp://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard) to generate the goldcard image
2) insert the SD card into your ubuntu box and run "dmesg" to know were it is attached (something like /dev/sdb1)
3) unmount the SD card using "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" (replace sdb1 by the device you have identified in 2)). It is a good way to be sure that the device you have identified is the good one
4) send the goldcard.img to the SD card using "sudo dd bs=512 if=goldcard.img of=/dev/sdb" (launch it from the place were the goldcard.img is stored, no number here... just sdb)
That's it... you have your goldcard.
As you can see it is very easy... just 2 command line (no hex editor or so on)
To verify just unplug and replug it...
I hope it will help.
O-p
What if youre not running ubuntu?
I ended up rooting using the SuperOneClick method and im happily running ginger yoshi now
