I recently made a goldcard. I dint really use this goldcard, but i was wondering that if i wanted to. Could i put this goldcard into my unrooted wildfire and use it for normal use e.g listening to music ... If not or if their is side effects of using a goldcard, can i get it switched back to normal?
I know its a quite newby Question, bit im a n00n, what can you do about it?

I don't have the answer to your question, but I've always wondered what the hell a Goldcard is. Also, I thought that was just for Windows Mobile devices.

Unhelpful answer, but a goldcard is for running unsigned code. Its for unbradning a phone as far as i know.

I'm well aware it's unhelpful. As I said, I don't have the answer to your question. But thanks for at least answering mine.
I think the goldcard is no useful。just root and flash from recovery by SD card 。all ok！

Assuming you have a T-mobile usa MT3G , there is a one click root method, and you can skip all that gold card bs. Its in the development forum. I can't post the link but its not that hard to find it.

Thanks, that was MUCH easier, worked great.
I use Unrevoked,and I still got s-on,how can I solve that?I want to make s-off.And my WF is still unlocked(sim),This is my bigest problem,pls help
Both are not possible as of now on the Wildfire. The only way to unlock is to buy an unlock code, and, S-OFF is still no possible on the Wildfire. (AlphaREV is supposed to implement this, but, it there is no release yet)

Just flash WWE RUU with gold card or ..?
no
you cant unlock the wildfire by making gold card and flashing flashing does not access that part of the mobile device.

I thought that was unbranding, not unlocking? (The SIM Lock is still retained even if you do that, AFAIK) :/
Some other solution?any chance to make sim free?
maybe this work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444
any experience?
Is it possible?
Did you not read the other replys?
YOU CANNOT DO IT.
Also that link is not for the wildfire.

£100 for that!! if you are rooted, you can use clockwork mod to access /system and other system folders (similar to s-off, but you are responsible if you brick your device in doing so). to unlock your device, contact your carrier. they should be able to do it for between £0 and £20

To goldcard the phone to bypass Cid please search the forum. Xda does not need another novice adding more stuff to it. That is already there
Edit. This will not provide s-off just the ability to flash any buzz ruu

@cybertyk thanks man, I'll search for it, just one quick question.
If I bypass the CID and install a RUU my device will be sim unlocked?
Thanks again!
Figured it out myself...
Back in old days when i had a HTC Wildfire with a few clicks i rooted it and started installing new ROMS on to it
But since i got this New Xperia Play : R800i Build NO. 3.0.1.a.0.146 {UK}
I got no clue how to do anything on it. Let me be honest here... I updated my phone using the option under the settings menu in About my phone and seems to be on 2.3.3 and look all my friends have rooted their phones but i got no clue if its even possible . Mabey im not such a noob or something but i would be really greatfull if anyoen could point me atleast to the right direction. Mabey some helpfull links to help a fellow noob
Is your phone sim locked?

Mine was from vodafone and wasnt sim locked either. Ok you have two choices for root. You can either unlock your bootloader (there are many downsides and advantages to this so you should research it) or downgrade to 2.3.2, root using gingerbreak then OTA update to latest version. That way you will not loose root while updating.

Seems like ol' Freddy is right after all:

What OTA Update Means? And please can you give some links on how to downgrade and root it please?
And btw if i use the method of downgrading my phone first will i be able to flash custom ROMs?

Im on my phone so i can't really link. Look in the android development section, there is a thread all about rooting 2.3.3 with a locked bootloader. OTA means over the air. Basically thats when you download and install an update using just your phone.

No you need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom roms. But please read the pros and cons of unlocking your bootloader first. And understand what you can and can't do
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Ok mate just wanna say thanks a lot for your help and i really appreciate it. You really helped me out here. also just one more thing i need to know. By the looks of it the only cons in unlocking your bootloader seems to be that you will lose warranty and that your phone or your radio may get bricked which apparently can be fixed with restoring a backed up data using a program named omnius for se which i'm actually working on... however my only other concern is if there are any other disadvantages regarding the unblocking the bootloader that you happned to know of and be kind to share it with me Also just wanna say that i can see many tutorials as you said in the development section and i quite frankly i don't know which one applies to me since i realized one of the tutorials are for models with build number .184 where as mine is 3.0.1.a.0.145 AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHICH TUTORIAL TO FOLLOW. So i would be greatfull if you could lend me link to a right tutorial whenever you get free time on the PC
If all you want is root you can do that with a locked bootloader. You will have to downgrade to 2.3.2 (.184) then root then ota to get the latest firmware rooted. Follow the guide here. Or see this post i made here for easier instuctions on downgrading and rooting.
If you want to flash custom roms then you do need an unlocked bootloader like AndroHero has said. You dont need a specific guide to unlock your bootloader. Just go too the SE bootloader unlocking site (it gives you all the instructions you need) http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/. Then just flash doomlords kernel (which autoroots) or anything really from the development section (since i think anything can be rooted with one click with an unlocked bootloader) you will then have root and the ability to flash cutom roms.
Oh btw build number .184 = 2.3.2, build number 3.0.1.a.0.145 = 2.3.3 and build number 4.0.a = 2.3.3 (xloud version, the latest update)
+
If you unlock your bootloader OTA, Pc Companion + SEUS are off limits use any of them after unlocking your bootloader and you will brick your phone. Go to the dev section for the latest updates.

Hey, I am posting this since I have gone through some threads and they don't really seem to have the answer that I am looking for.
I have a HTC DEsire 816 a5-chl with Security_On.
I'd want to to
i) Get s-off
ii)Root the Device
iii)have custom ROM installed(or a stock one) currently on lollipop 5.0.2
iv)and Perhaps network unlock using CID
Is there anyone who may show me any of the above steps. Some may overlay others, for instance, getting s-off and rooting.(I hope I am right in saying this) Would flashing a new radio network unlock the device?
Kindly feel free to correct me and guide me on the above steps please. thanks.
Slightly confused guy.

I just now saw your post and if your still interested in getting help with gaining root, S off and flashing custom roms I'd be happy to walk you through it as I have done all 3 on the same device. As for the CID changing I did research on that but it's a niche reason as to why you would actually use it but I did a lot of research on it and would pass on what I've learned there as well. Just let me know.
Is there a way to get s-off for free?
S-off
S-No

Can you help me out how to S-OFF my phone, I'm Stuck at that part.
I paid the $25 for the Sunshine app and it gave me true S off. That's the only way to get it. There are write protection mod scripts that fool the system partition to allow root apps like Link2SD to run at boot up but I never messed with that particular hack as it's still not true S off.

Dude, if you can't do a little research, then i strongly suggest you avoid attempting to modify your phone. Sorry to sound rude, im having a bit of a face palm moment from your question.
You're not sounding rude. A lot of people on this forum wants to be spoon-fed, and that's not going to help them in the long run. They need a smack on the head and get taught how to search.
If you can find a way of unlocking the bootloader you could give it a try. Probably brick you phone yes.

How would you do that when the bootloader is locked?

I think he was trying to point out that it should go without saying that you shouldn't even think about flashing other firmware than the one designed for your actual model. It never ends well.
I think he just wants to root his phone, and thinks that somehow this process involves getting the single sim firmware.
To be able to root you first need to unlock the bootloader. Currently only allowed by LG on the unbranded US and EU versions. NOT possible on any other version, unless someone finds an unofficial way around it in the future.
I haven't tried it, but I doubt you will brick it, most likely it will just reject it, but I agree it's not a good idea to try it without knowing.
All those guys talking about spoon feeding people... if you know the answer to the question just answer it, if you don't know the answer shut up.
I reached this thread doing research and rather than finding information I find your rant.
