Help with rooting/goldcard? - Desire HD General

hi,
total newby to rooting but not new to linux stuff so forgive me if i'm asking stupid questions but:
what the hell do you do after making a goldcard? i've inserted the new sd card into my phone but i see no change. this is a test sd card though, from what i figured out, i can root this phone with the test card of 1gb capacity and then insert my sd card with all my personal stuff in it that's 8gb. i'm not really sure what i'm supposed to be looking for neither to be honest.
if it helps, i'm on a stock 2.2 but i got it on release day so it was clean from "bloatware" but there have been a few updates. vodafone uk, software 1.72.405.3 and all the pretty things that go with that. I know I have to download a new rom at some point but can I do this to the current rom?
any help in this matter would be much appreciated.
regards,
ehababoud

You can easily Achieve root on the DHD in about 15 mins, have you googled/searched for a rooting guide

you only need a goldcard if your using a 1.71/1.75 based roms, thoes cant be rooted, so you use the goldcard to downgrade the version of android your using, if this is what your trying to do you need the relevent ruu or PB98IMG.zip, all the goldcard is for is to skip the CID check..... if your using an older version of android you can just use visionary to root

hi thanks for your help, i've tried rooting via visonary+ but it can't even do a temprary root because it just crashes the phone.
there are not many guides out there for rooting without visonary but i think after the updates, it's now at 1.75 so i guess i have to downgrade. i've created the goldcard on mine now and i found a great guide called "HTC DESIRE HD: FULL UPDATE GUIDE" (not allowed to stick any urls yet because i'm pretty new here)
but on stage 5 of downgrading its trying to create a backup file and finds an error. this is the exact result:
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.31.405.3
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening backup file.
this is racking my brain because i want to move on but i can't. the only guess i can make is that it can't find the backup file in question. i also found trouble making the goldcard when i was looking for the CID but i found a workaround on google. ah good old google!
once again, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hero rom problems

http://reviewstash.com/viewtopic.php?pid=3239#p3239
i'm trying to do this to my g1 but it's a little vauge for someone who has never attempted this. i.e: me ... couple of quick questions 1st:
-do i need to get a new sdcard to replace the stock 1?
-does the phone need to be in rc29 first?
step#5 at the bottom listed to wipe and flash the phone, so i looked up how to flash the g1 on this forum and it seemed to require going back to rc29, which i did.
only problem is, step#2 listed to extract step#1 in to the "ext2" partition, which no longer exists after i put my phone back to rc29.
i just installed jesusfreke's rc33 thinking maybe "ext2" was only on rc33 or something, and "ext2" still is not there. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. i used "SDSPLIT" to create a dual partitioned sdcard, & sdsplit says everything is partitioned and ready, only now when i mount it to my computer nothing shows up.
oh and i'm new, sorry if this has been posted...went through a ton of pages on this forum and didn't see any posts about it, might have overlooked it while scrolling through wall after wall after wall of posts
EDIT: i used to own an htc fuze and wizard, but this phone is a whole new ballgame for me!
Same here... do we need a replacement mircro sd card than the one given to us in the box?
Oh my goodness gracious, 1. Y would u follow a guide not in the forums [email protected] ur posting on? Have u even tried searching first? Why would you need to replace ur sd? It would be better to(not sure what class it is, but im sure its a 2), the phone needs to have root to install Hero, and the partitions on the SD card r not rom related
you can use any micro sd card.
use the search....
First you didn't read the very firs post on this forum.It should be deleted. Second flashing the hero rom in not for the average Joe. Third a little search goes a long way....i.e. there is a post on how to do it.
Delete this thread!
if you don't know what ext2 is you should forget about it since you didn't even bother reading the guides that are posted here...
Hmm sounds like a problem, what I recommend is that you go and call up TMobile and go ahead and pay another 400 dollars for another G1 and see what firmware it is, repeat as needed until you get one that has RC29 on it.
Alright, seriously, use the search button, and follow guides on THIS site if you plan on asking questions. You do not need a new SD card, however the stock card that comes with the G1 is a class 2 card, which is not sufficient for Apps2SD. Just type into the command prompt
adb push (location of app_s.zip) /system/sd/
adb shell
cd /system/sd/
unzip App_s.zip
You should be good now.
Also, do not mount the SD card. Just plug it in and do the ADB commands.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooow. I thought i was a noob. An i figured out how to install Haykuro's HERO ROM. Delete or be deleted
Please Search first.
Please post in the right thread/forum.
Thank you.
LOL should've known even an all-nerd forum would have jackasses on it. Good thing you guys are so helpful, i might never have gotten my hero rom to work on my g1!
ps, works like a charm, thanks for the warm wishes broskis. go out and get a couple drinks once in a while and socialize. weirdos
I don't get when this forum became so hostile.
If more than 3 individual people took time out of their lives and told him that he's a noob, that is ridiculous. This forum used to help people out so much.
The g1 community is just some flamers.

[Samsung Moment] Root Instructions

EDIT: This information is out dated now but visit the link below for updated info.
taken from here http://www.samsungmomentforum.com/rooting/root-access-(finally-achieved!)/
1) Partition your SD Card to have first partition as fat16 and second ext3 [this tutorial assumes you have this setup exactly as stated]
2) Boot in Test Mode with Call+Center+Power
3) copy root into your tools directory of the sdk
4) adb push root /system
5) adb shell chmod 0755 /system/root
6) adb shell /system/root
7) unplug usb, remove battery, reboot into test mode when instructed
8) adb shell
9) /system/bin/btld_testmode
10) /system/root
Excellent. It work!. Just do exatly the steps above. Thanks for putting all this info together.
FYI... Samsung post the source code of the samsung moment.
Is this temp or persistent root? For temp root I don't think partitioning the sd card is necessary or at least I didn't partition it when I temp rooted my Moment.
Was a long time WinMo user, I was stuck with a Moto Q9c on sprint for way to long. I'm still stuck with sprint, but got the Moment in hopes of having a badass Android to start with.
Night and Day compared to my Q, the root is key though, custom rom's were so easy on the Q.
soooo im a newb to android, same question as johnbarry3434.
does it stick?
I've got two Moment's(thanks sprint for shipping me 2 and charging me for neither) ?maybe one for test purposes?
Anything I can do to help the rooting process, please let me know
Sorry guys but I'm very new to this android. Only had my phone for a week now. Is rooting like flashing a custom ROM for the Touch Pro?
Does this require seperate adb drivers for the Samsung phone?? If so where can I get them and are there any avaliable for Ubuntu???
Hi guys,
I have just gotten myself a Samsung Spica. Can I use this guide as well? Is there a ROM-update tool for the Spica?
I'm really n00b, so any help is appreciated
I need someone with this rooted phone to contact me, I need to get some data from it so I can work on something for it.
Please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks
hey look i am brand new to this whole root thing i just got my moment two days ago i am used to the simple jailbreak iphone stuff but this is a whole new level
i am on windows vista and i do not understand any of this at all please someone email me some simpler instructions or make a video or something just to help me out in some way please and thank you
my email: [email protected]
use the search Service people
Now that moment is rooted?
Will there be any chance of us getting a custom rom of andorid using sense ui?
i dont really see any point in rooting my phone if there is no MAJOR thing you can do with it..
I cannot get my samsung to root
I have the updated cupcake cl14 and when I boot my phone with talk+center+power, I boot into a test mode that lets me test the screen, keyboard, and so on. I did copy the root file (supplied from the instructions ) to the main part of my card on both partitions, and partitioned it just as it stated in the 1st step. I don't understand what the "adb" is and how to use it. Can this only be down with windows because I'm am using Ubuntu. I know adb is advance debugging bridge but after some google searches I still don't know how to use it. I now a little about chmod 0755 because of Ubuntu but any "hand-holding" instructions would be great thankyou to everyone who is willing to help me and others out with this problem.
Is there still no "real" benefit for root access for the Moment? As in no good reason to root the phone? My girlfriend has one and I was hoping that it was at least close behind my Hero by now in terms of root access benefits....TIA

http://forum.samdroid.net/threads/13-How-to-get-Root-on-Samsung-i5700-EN-02-10-v-LK10
just got my phone and can't increase the size of the fonts was told rooting is the only way even with using spare parts.
first of what program can I use to partition the sd card I am running windows XP. and everything I have downloaded today would only see the internal drive.
For those of you still looking for how to root your Samsung Moment (you don't have to use your SDCard either) there are two HOW TOs posted at PPCGeeks under the NON-WM DEVICES>ANDRIOD>SAMSUNG MOMENT
One explains how to root phone with CJ05
The other explains how to root phones that have CL14 out-the-box or officially updated to CL14
I would post a link except I'm not permitted to post an outside link... just go to PPCGeeks(dot)com and click on their forum
So what Now!!!!
Okay I see you have this placed here.. I like... I have a Nexus and 2 Droids, wife and mine.. Nexus ALL mine.. HAHAHA..
My sister, wifes sister, she has the Moment.. I have always wanted to root this just cause of the 800mhz processor... This was the first device to almost meet up with the Nexus before it was even thought up..
Is there Roms, Themes, Kernels, etc.. I see nothing, but a root, useless, without an accommodation, thanks anyway, always good to have the key to the door first..
Somebody, PM me if not on, or reply here, I'll come back around...
cool that i made the front page but the info is out dated now.
yes this info is way outdated. just flash the kernel with speedyrabbit's or joeykrim's kernel and you'll have persistent root, plus a much faster phone.
also, speedyrabbit's kernel has wifi tether and flash_image support. you can download from www(dot)sdx-developers(dot)com.

root for Desire Z 1.72 with non standard CID's

Hi @all,
as my thread was closed but i still want to thank you and share my experiences, i'll create this new thread.
It belongs to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926835 but maybe also can help other guys to get root on theire updated unrooted phones.
this weekend i did the work and finaly i can say:
on my phone I AM root!!!
Just to thank you and maybe help some less experienced people here, i will give you a small overview and some hints for changes to be done for the tutorials to work with the desire z.
so thanks for your help, it worked like a charm.
For the backup i used myBackup as it doesnt require root for backing up and it restored my data as i wished. So myBackup is the product i can recomment. It is available as 30days-demo and so is enough for the process of down- and reupgrading.
Another thing to remind in the following steps is: at any time usb-debugging works with the htc-sync-mode, too. so use this mode, as usb-mode at any time, as in another case (harddisk-mode) the phone cant access the sdcard anymore.
After the backup i removed the card from the phone and worked on with a blank one.
The following both tutorials i used:
Goldcard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683&highlight=gold+card
Down-Reupgrade: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
You may also use this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
This one describes all the goldcard und down/upgrade-stuff explicitly for the desire z, but it looks a bit more hacky and seems to be good for people already experienced with hex-editors and rooting, also it doesnt mention, that the first 2 chars of the cardcode neet to be converted to "00", thats why i recommended the other tutorials.
I formated it to fat32 and put it into the phone, this step wasnt mentioned in the tutorial, so i tell it to all who dont know.
Then i read the card-ID with adb. Here is another problem with the tutorial. The DesireZ had no mmc1 with valid data, for the desire z you have to read the cid from mmc2!!! (just change the path from the tutorial) (so: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid)
After that remove the card from the phone and reinster into the cardreader and do the patching with the image and the hexeditor.
Then youre done with the first tutorial (in step 18) and can move on with the cyanogen one (as it seems more trustful )
So now reinsert into the phone and copy the firmwareimage and then "update" to the older version (was very nervouse while that, but succeeded finaly )
If you get an Error in "/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5" (i got one like "unable to backup") you have not inserted the sdcard or used the filetransfermode, so the card is not mounted into the phones filesystem.
If so, switch to htc-sync-mode and try the command again.
When in the firmwareupgrade-mode after the reboot, you can navigate with vol-up and vol-down and enter with the powerkey.
After permroot install the rom of your chioce, best one with allready permroot done, that saves work
i decided for the virtuous as it has sense, any other/better rom someone can recomment???
When done that, too, at first reinsert the original sdcard with your backup on and restore that backup, as it overwrites existing data, it would be best to avoid any sms or calls to arrive before you restored the data, as those calls and messages will be lost.
After that you can set up all things you want and finaly you are done with a new 1.72 rooted and unbranded phone.
Thanks all for your help especially to guhl for giving me those links and taking the fear from me of bricking my phone....
Yours TK

There's a Vision-specific Gold card guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503&highlight=debrand , which does uses mmc2, you might want to link that one up instead ?

I only use 1.34 because I haven't got round to trying anything else yet. But it works well enough not for me to want to get away from it as soon as possible. Virtuous is a popular Sense-based ROM, and I may well give that a try (it's based on 1.72 as well).
I use the 1.72 virtuous and feel good with it, as i have the impression that it is a bit smoother and the batteryusage seems to be a bit improved, but dunno if thats realy cuz of the new rom.
Only disadvantage, max volume doesnt seem to be bettered up, hope that gets solved soon
hoped to hear of any other rom with that solved and maybe packed with some nice gimmicks

Assalam aleikum,
Hi Iam using a german vodaphone 1.72 rom and want to downgrade to get permaroot and so on for a brother,
I Tried to get the downgrade working with this scripture but it dont works i ve done all the way down from goldcart with hexediting stuff and so on but when i reach the point to flash the 1.3 rom on hboot i get everytime a wrong cid error message and he wont install
is there a way to change the CID? for vodafone phones?
hi
i've been trying to downgrade my girlfriends new desire z (bought in a german store). but everytime i tried to flash the PC10IMG.zip in the bootloader via fastboot, it startet searching for it, found it, checked it and then brought up an error "incorrect CID", which i didn't quite understood. i checked the infocid and it's HTC__102, so i did not have to do the goldcard stuff. but i still did not get it working. solution was: not every PC10IMG.zip you can find in the various threads about downgrading the desire z seems to work, for me only the one found in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261 worked.
just wanted to let you know, in case anyone is searching for a solution for this problem

Cant boot anymore

Hi folks, i'm looking for 2 days a way to solve my DHD problem:
It can't boot anymore. It pop up the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, play the boot sound and, start this step again, and again, and again...
So I'm googling a LOT about how to solve this, if exist a way to restore the original rom. Because i'm thinking that was the problem, my original rom is gone.
That happens when i try to install 3 softwares from appbrain, my device got freeze and i hit the power button to reset. So, after that, my device is gone.
So i came here, to ask you folks: There is a way to recover the original rom ? Without send to warranty (because it spend something like 1 month here).
I'm not a mobile hacker or something, i'm just trying to be happy with my device.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english!!
Perhaps try booting to the bootloader, by holding Power + Volume down button. From there, you should be able to do a factory reset, which may or may not fix your problem. Worth a shot at least, imo
And if it does not work when you do a factory reset, you can use a rom.zip from HTC RUU to restore your phone.
Now the important thing is to know which HTC rom you are running. If it is unbranded, 1.72.405.3 is a sure shot. Download the RUU.exe from Stock roms thread in android development subforum, and run it. When the window pops up, open run prompt, and type: "%TEMP%". Then search for rom.zip, copy it to your desktop, rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it to your SD card (I hope that you have a card reader). Then just reboot to bootloader as tmh described, and watch the magic happen
Then if your phone is branded, you can still use the same technique to make PD98IMG.zip, but you have to get the RUU that matches your branding. There are lots of RUUs in android development subforum, just search.
Hi guys,
thanks a lot for quik reply!
I perform the procedure indicated by tmh, but without lucky ;\
I think it is unbranded. I buy it at Portugal and i'm using at Brazil right now.
I'll perform your tip jkoljo.
I'll post a repply to let people know if it works or not.
Thanks a lot!!
Hope the advice the last guy gave helps , a factory re set may work fine and fix the issue. Iv had 3 dhd since the day of release , the second one I had wouldn't switch on, had it replaced by Vodafone . Not sure weather or not they will give you a new one . Hope u get it fixed

I'm not sure if i got cover from warranty.
Right now, my "PROOF OF PURCHASE" is at europe, and i'm at america, so i must get this work again by myself, or pay (some expensive value, i think) for htc support.
I found those ROM version:

the different is just the radio version. just try flash one of them and see if that work.
WWE means World Wide English, which is an international release
Any one of those RUUs you linked is ok, as hedayat7 already said.
WWE is World wide English...so both are english Roms...try the RUU flash, it should work like a dream....

Sorry ask for your help again, but at Official thread (thread number 841207) for DHD files, both 1.72.405.3 links are broken.
So i search for another thread, and found another one, but when i run the .exe, it ask for a USB connection to device, so it appears wrong.
Could you gimme a hand to find the correct file?
PS: I can help with a web hosting to all correct files.
You probably found the correct RUU, now proceed to %TEMP% and copy rom.zip to desktop.
You can find RUUs here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
I am not completely sure if those zip files are actual rom.zips, you can check that. Open up the zip, and if it has a long list of hboot, system, android-info.txt etc, then it is rom.zip and you can just go ahead and rename it to PD98IMG.zip.

But i did that.
The "1.72.405.3" files at this URL are broken (Or need password to access it, because "You don't have permission to access" message pop up).
When i run the RRU i got two screens, first i must accept a advice, the second one ask if I have a USB connection to my device. Even when i proceed to next step, i got no .zip file on my %TEMP%.
Im lost because of that lol
UPDATE: OK I FOUND IT! haha ty
Thanks a lot my friends,
but it doesn't work.
I perform the process for 2 different roms, and it doesn't work.
Still can't boot.
I'll sent for warranty and wait a loooong time..
But thanks a lot for help me with this!!
Ok, then there is something wrong in the device itself. You have to send it to a service center.

Hi again,
i keep a little hope that i can restore my phone, so i found a possible solution:
OTA update.
At "showthread.php?t=667728&page=2", i found a guy with the same problem i think, here is the quote:
Kinma said:
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!

(thanks Kinma for the feedback)
So, i start a search for OTA update file here, and found at "showthread.php?t=885996".
But when i choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip", i got INVALID OPERATION.
Someone have a tip for me about this?
Thanks (its very sad, but i must keep hope).

You are welcome.
What happened was that after a reboot of the phone the phone started rebooting in the boot sequence, i.e. a boot loop.
I tried a lot of things and nothing worked.
Finally I suspected that the problem might be with the SD card. I had a backup, so I had no problem doing a factory reset.
Then I booted the phone without the SD card.
The phone booted fine.
That way I was certain that the problem was with the SD card.
I had 2 partitions on the SD card, an EXT3 part and the rest was a normal Fat part.
I could still read the card, so I made a backup of all the data on the card.
Then I reformatted the card using windows.
The phone booted fine with an empty, reformatted, SD card.
Since I use Apps 2 SD, I had to recreate the EXT3 partition.
If your rom does not use this, you do not have to do this.
After recreating the EXT partition, put back all files that I want on my SD card.
My advice would be to do a factory reset and after that boot the phone without the SD card.
If the phone boots, you know the problem is with the card.
Hope that helps; good luck!

thanks folks for all help.
Yeah, there must be something wrong in your device itself, for example a motherboard fault. Send it back to HTC.

Help! internal SD gone on my ideos7

can't seem to find any postings regarding the exact process on how to get my 8g internal SD back on my system that is why i ended up posting this. whenever i check it on the ideos, it is now disabled and it says unavailable. i also can't connect to my PC now via usb maybe because i don't have the internal SD. it happened when i try to partition my SD with Easyus Program in the hope that i may be able to install other programs into a more bigger space but then everything failed. I was already able to split it into 2 but i have slept over it and the next morning when i continued, i forgot where i have left last. i have tried to redo the whole thing all over again and started deleting the newly created partition and that was it. out of frustration and another hope that it might factory reset my unit in its original state and bring back my "unavailable SD". since then i can't get it back.
i have tried to browse all over here and also in other sites but there were no exact way how i will be able to get it available for use again. there are some that says i have to install the early android eclair version but there is just no place i can download that piece of os, not even on the huawei site. there are suggestions to use busybox and adb which i must admit that i have completely no knowledge of but willing to try if there will be guide to follow. the only problem on this way is my ideos7 can't communicate with my PC thru USB because of that missing internal SD card.
i hope somebody with a kind heart and knowledge can help me with this thing. i will surely appreciate it so much. this ideos is so dear to me and i just can't help to think the i ended up deleting its internal SD out of my stupidity.
thanks! you all have a nice day and continue enjoying your weekend.
details of my ideos7
it's a European Version, I guess this is the s7-104 with front camera only. It's running with the installed
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband: 504030
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-Ideos
Build Number: S7V100R001C98B021
I lost the rooting on the process and since then i can no longer have the way to root it back again because of the usb connection issue.
thanks again and hoping to get a big help from somebody out there.
UP
still hoping for anybody.
still hoping
for anybody who can help
Your problem, I think, has easy answer. You must to make a downgrade to android 2.1. In the huawei page you find the rom. in my case the problem is worse, my internal sd does not appear even as unavailable and i dont know to do.
regards
dead link
that's what i initially thought but all the links leading to this downgrade rom which is the 2.1 eclair, is already dead. i was lucky to find another but i see the fbi logo since it was the megaupload link. i have been looking for it even in the huawei site. everything is out already. i hope somebody out there has the Android 2.1 eclair that i can try. this i read from somewhere may be able to restore back my unavailable internal sd card.
thanks for reading and still hoping to get a copy or link for the android 2.1 eclair.
disregard all
i have found it already and it is back again. thanks a lot!
Same problem
I have the same problem as you. Can you send a link to the 2.1 eclair? I have searched for days...
1, the phone has root, and install better terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal simulation
2, in HyperTerminal, enter( su )
3, and so become the # sign, type ( dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 ). Other end of the run,maybe wait 5 minutes. Restart the phone.
4, into the "Settings" - "sdcard and storage", u can be formatted with the built-in sdcard
