[Q] Wildfire Debranding with OS X - Wildfire General

Hi,
I have a Vodafone Branded wildfire which I got unlocked from a small local shop.
However it still boots up with the nasty Vodafone logo and takes ages to boot.
I essentially want a method of removing this logo and make my wildfire brand free.
Now I have read from other forums that this is also called as debranding (correct me if i am wrong)
What i need is this.
I have a Mac. OS X. and do not have any windows or ubuntu at my disposal.
Can anyone help me with a guide on how to debrand my phone using a os x ??
I do have spare sd cards and sd card usb reader ( i guess this required for gold card)
Please let me know how to create everything from scratch.
Thanks in advance.

I debrandet my Wildfire with OSX ^^ and you dont need a spare sd cards or sd card usb reader for a gold card at all.
From mapleator.de/?p=19
1. The Goldcard
For most Android-devices you need a so called goldcard for downgrading your mobile. Downgrading is needed for rooting (at least for the G1 under 1.6). We will make our SD-Card to such a goldcard in the first step.
First you have to format the sd-card (backup all your loved data on your Mac/PC)
1. Click on Menu on your mobile
2. Go to Settings
3. Then SD Card & Phone Settings
4. Then Unmount SD card
5. And finally Format SD card
Now we need the SD's CID-Number. The easiest way is to use the ASTRO File-Manager:
1. Download the ASTRO File Manager from the Market (Just search for ASTRO)
2. Start the App
3. Navigate to sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:aaaa (instead of aaaa there could be something else as well)
4. Long press on the 'cid'-file
5. First select Open as, then Text
6. Then select File-Editor
7. Write down the number 1 to 1 onto your Mac/PC
Now we have the Cid-Number. With that cid-number we generate a goldcard-image:
1. Now we have to revert that Cid pairwise (for example 73829100 would get 00918273)
2. Register at psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard with your reverted Cid
3. You will recieve the file goldcard.img via E-Mail. Save that file to your user-directory.
4. Now connect your mobile to your PC/Mac
5. Pull down the mobiles notification-bar
6. Click on USB connected
7. Select Mount
Now we have the image-file that we have to apply to the SD-card:
1. Open your Mac's Terminal under Applications -> Utilities ->Terminal (Or your Linux-Terminal)
2. Enter diskutil list and confirm
3. You should be able to see your SD-Card now. You can recognize it from its size (mine is 2GB) and that its type is DOS_FAT_32. As IDENTIFIER it says disk2s1.Remember this identifier.
4. Now unmount the card the folowing way: If your identifier was disk2s1 enter diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 and confirm. If not, you have to replace the 2 with your value (the value that is written right after the word disk).
5. Now create your goldcard with sudo dd bs=512 if=~/goldcard.img of=/dev/disk2. If you need to, replace the 2 again. Confirm, wait, enter your users password (or under linux your roots password) and confirm again.
Now you are owner of a goldcard!

@Va.OS
Very detailed post. Will try it and tell you the results.

Mine dims the scren when I do the reset but then comes back on - still at the SERIAL and v1.01 - I tried taking battery etc out but still nothing - any more help most appreciated
If I let the battery run down then charge, the XDA comes back on to windows, goes thru all the calibrations, but then after a while - goes back to the boot screen
any help most appreciated
i'm sorry before, but...
very interesting this guide,
mine is HIMALAYA (O2-xda-II), and got same problem --> Stuck in BootLoader
unfortunatelly my xda-II can't connect to PC. when connected to PC detected as Unknown-Device.
maybe like This Methode can be applicable to my xda-II
but with firmware /ROM that have compatibility to my xda-II offcourse,,
i'll said thanks if some one can give me any suggestion
you could just try pluggin the phone back into the cradle and connect it to usb, then just run the update program again, its normal for the update to fail the frist time or even twice. this happened to my phone. the first update fails and its stuck in boot loader, ignore the "cannot id device" that windows puts up.
also remember not to update on a pc running VISTA it wont work 100%, only, i repeat ONLY update on xp

Is something on the screen or are there any lights on ?
Are the files on the memory card visible in windows after writing the image on it ?

PH 10D Alpine stuck in Simlock...HELP
HI mate, Please help me with this:
I have Alpine PH10D from Orange Uk
After I tried for weeks to buy the unlocking (sim) code from orange ,then I started trying all the software to unlock it. My laptop runs Vista ,so this could be the reason why,lots of programs from internet won,t work,xdadev,htcallunlock,xdasimlock,xdaunlock,htcmultiunlocker,lokiwiz,copier,etc...
so u can see I tried for weeks,and weeks
Finally, one of these got my HTC locked in Simlock mode ,I mean I kinda can restart, bootloader, reset etc ,and imediately after starting to boot-install,i get a screen saying,"Simlock,network locked,please enter network code"
In the background all the phone is normal but as soon as you try tapping"Start" or anything else, after 1 second that pop comes again ,again,again,again,again.....
The Interesting is The active sync (the active sync in vista is called"Windows mobile device manager" can connect to the phone...Obviousely U know u cannot delete those stupid files from the extended Rom ,they are REad Only, When u Right click on it, all what vista can get is, Run ,Run as Administrator,Properties"....no chance to delete or rename....them cab.
Again ,interesting, In bootloader, active sync cannot detect the phone ,but the phone does display "Serial V1.01" and then when u plug USB in laptop it says "USB"
Then press SOFTRESET again ,wait 10 sec..,ding...and STOP at that moment before it starts installing...! plug the USB into laptop ...active sync IS DETECTING it, The ROM is in a file called "Extended ROM"....OK .Is there a way to find the Simlock, file or cab, and delete it? the files are protected, cannot touch them,
If I cannot do anything ,I will try the old fashion...: stick it into the freezer a good 2-3 days.......ain't it funny?.... in fact the phone is now a vegetable, isn't it?
[email protected] for any further details ,pls mail

sounds great what about htc universal
Hi mike,
this sounds hopeful. Any idea about a HTC universal, will this work, are there differences?
Any reply would be greatly appreciated, as I am a bit getting desperate!
Greetings,
Curehead
Ok after an incident with a cup of coffee, my sound ceased working in phone, so, since everything else was working fine, and reading a load of threads on it I decided to downgrade back to the original ROM....
And I ended up stuck with that old 'Serial 1.01' message.
After reading more i downloaded mtty and got it to connect in USB, checked check the DOC, and as it was fine I was just going to download the restore files, when I noticed that the screen message had changed to 'USB'.....
So I started the Upgrade, and it found the Alpine, and worked fine!
So if you are stuck in bootloader, and you can connect with MTTY, run task 28 to check the DiskOnChip, if this is fine (no errors), then LEAVE IT IN THE CRADLE, check to see if 'USB' is showing on the screen, exit MTTY, and try upgrading again, hopefully it will work.
Happy New Year !!

Restore WM2003SE on Alpine; XDA IIi; qtek 2020i
I tried to upgrade my XDA IIi to WM6, being unaware that this was not possible, of course with the wrong updater, so I ended with cold brick.
After much pain and reading tons of nonsense and misleading or incomplete info written by people who have no idea of what they are talking about, I managed to revive it running the updater:

The device needs to be in BootLoader mode with the battery fully recharged.
How to Enter into BootLoader mode:
Press and hold the “Power” & “D” (navigation) buttons,
and then press the Reset Button until “Serial” shows on screen.
Plug device in the cradle. “Serial” will change to “USB”

Mega thanks guys!!! Legends! Woo

[TUT] How to change from one official ROM to another (including language)

OK there's a LOT of confusion between all the threads on exactly how to switch languages and official ROMS etc etc. The fix I have here (not entirely created by me, I believe Cmonex, Jesterz and the QMAT people are to be thanked) I'm just summarising to make it easy for any noobs here
This will enable you to replace your official ROM (any language) with another official ROM (any language etc). IT is NOT an SPL fix so no custom ROMs will work yet. It also won't SIM unlock your phone.
---
Note: There seems to be a problem flashing the Current Russian ROM to a WWE EU/US/Asia HTC Leo. I advise anyone NOT to flash the Russian ROM for the moment, until a fix has been found. (Its been guessed that the Russian ROM is either locked, non-official or written for a slightly different version of the HTC Leo (perhaps version 110)

Things we need:
-MicroSD card, anything over 512MB is good enough.
-HTC LEO...just in case you forgot
-QMAT 5.06 (other methods available but this is easiest) installed
-An Official HTC rom that you wish to write to your phone (any language). Some can be found here . The examples included here involve RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1...
-a zip utility eg the free 7zip installed.
-----
1: Format your SD card to FAT32.
--a: Plug your phone into your windows PC, select DISKDRIVE on your LEO
--b: The Drive should be visible in Windows as REMOVABLE DISK
--c: Right Click and Format > Format to FAT32 (best to untick quick format)
2:Allow non signed Software on the Leo
--a: install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit also original PHM Site (offline at the moment)
--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1
--e: Reboot the HTC LEO
3:Get the SD card's Serial number.
--a: Unplug your HD from the PC and Plug it back in select ACTIVESYNC on your LEO
--b: Run QMAT, Select Hardware Forensics>WINCE SD> Get serial
--c: It should give you a long Serial number, take note of this number for step 4:
--d(optional): Most people have better success by replacing the first 2 letters/numbers with 00 (zero zero) then use this number for the next step
4: Get your Gold Card.
--a: Goto the very generous people over at QMAT again. (NO LONGER FREE - alternative method coming soon)
--b: Input your email and in the CID box put your SD card Serial number from the step above
--c: Click continue and you should receive a goldcard.img file in your email.
5:Rewrite your SD card with the Goldcard
--a: Get yourself a HexEditer. Install and run it. (Win 7 & Vista users - run this as Administrator)
--b:Unplug and replug your HTC LEO select DISK DRIVE on the LEO
--c:Go to Extra Tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
--d:Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier. Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
--e:Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.

6 (normal): Put your Favourite OFFICIAL Rom on the Leo
--a:Right click on your exampleOFFICIALrom.exe and Extract it to a folder
--b:From the extracted file locate RUU_signed.nbh and rename it LEOIMG.nbh
--c:Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to your MicroSD card

--e: Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press POWER button
--f: A menu will appear select (usually the power button) to continue to write the ROM
--g:After 5-10 minutes the phone should tell you the ROM was successfully written and the bar is full. You can now press reset (the small Red button beside the battery, use a pen)

7: Your done
That's it, it should now boot up in the ROM and language of your choice.
If there's anything I left out or anything you'd like to add just let know on this thread. Also keep us up to date on how it worked for you.
Enjoy
If after using the Hex Editor you are asked for FORMAT your disk again (and unable to put LEOIMG.NBH on the SD card) you can follow on from these steps (from Sickboy6th)>
1. Format SD card from within WinMo
2. Place LEOIMG.NBH on the SD card
3. Read CID with QMAT
4. Request GoldCard.img with CID
5. Write the goldcard to the SD, by having ActiveSync active, and "Write Image" in QMAT.
6. Reboot to bootloader (I used some tool that is included with the homebrewed "Service Pack, update 4" available for LEO in these forums).
P.S.
Please be careful when selecting a ROM. Some ROMs are pre-release only and may contain a "timebomb". (e.g A previous release of ROM 1.48) If it is a pre-release with "timebomb", the device will lock at a specific date and you won't be able to access anything on your phone or go beyond a simple lockout screen. The only fix would be to flash a new ROM.
Sticking this tutorial for now!
THANKS !!!!!!
Works like a charm!
Thanks and BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
good job mate ! self explanatory tutorial ...!
Viperbjk - Thanks for LEO Goldcard & QMAT
Cmonex - Thanking you for HSPL's (for my Diamond and HD) and for any work you did on this.
Jagnet - Thanks for the tutorial
Have just flashed HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2 over the top of my UK edition 1.43
Comments on the tutorial - Step 3(d) - I'm not sure you need to replace the leading two characters of the SD CID with zero's as I didn't do this initially, then requested another (with the leading zero's) and the two .img's delivered back to me are identical.
Apart from that - the tutorial worked like a dream - thanks again everyone ...
cmonex - not sure I really want HSPL until 4th January or my wife will be upset at me constantly flashing (the HD2 that is) over the Xmas break so from my point of view take it slowly ...
jagnet said:
OK there's a LOT of confusion between all the threads on exactly how to switch languages and official ROMS etc etc. The fix I have here (not entirely created by me, I believe Cmonex, Jesterz and the QMAT people are to be thanked) I'm just summarising to make it easy for any noobs here
This will enable you to replace your official ROM (any language) with another official ROM (any language etc). IT is NOT an SPL fix so no custom ROMs will work yet.
---
Things we need:
-MicroSD card, anything over 512MB is good enough.
-HTC LEO...just in case you forgot
-QMAT 5.06 (other methods available but this is easiest) installed
-An Official HTC rom that you wish to write to your phone (any language). Some can be found here . The examples included here involve RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1...
-a zip utility eg the free 7zip installed.
-----
1: Format your SD card to FAT32.
--a: Plug your phone into your windows PC, select DISKDRIVE on your LEO
--b: The Drive should be visible in Windows as REMOVABLE DISK
--c: Right Click and Format > Format to FAT32 (best to untick quick format)
2:Allow non signed Software on the Leo
--a: install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit
--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1
--e: Reboot the HTC LEO
3:Get the SD card's Serial number.
--a: Unplug your HD from the PC and Plug it back in select ACTIVESYNC on your LEO
--b: Run QMAT, Select Hardware Forensics>WINCE SD> Get serial
--c: It should give you a long Serial number.
--d: Change the first 2 numbers or letters to 00 (2x zero the numbers not the O letter)
4: Get your Gold Card.
--a: Goto the very generous people over at QMAT again
--b: Input your email and in the CID box put your SD card Serial number from the step above
--c: Click continue and you should receive a goldcard.img file in your email.
5:Rewrite your SD card with the Goldcard
--a: Get yourself a HexEditer. Install and run it.
--b:Unplug and replug your HTC LEO select DISK DRIVE on the LEO
--c:Go to Extra Tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
--d:Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier. Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
--e:Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
--f:Click on the “removable disk” tab. Highlight the offset from 00000000 to offset 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.

After an "Update successful" and reboot i get a black screen with this message:

How long have you been waiting for the email (with the image file) to arrive? I've requested it about 4 hours ago (twice) and got nothing so far. Maybe I'm just unlucky

Nice tutorial.
So it should be able to flash an official ROM over a T-Mobile branded one?
I'm asking, because you say "original to original", but also that it's because "cannot flash custom ROMs". =)
Thanks!!!...
a lot for this very good step by step introduction!
Changed from NLD to GER very successfull!!
Nice work!

then reflash to WWE - all OK.
what's wrong?
Worked pretty well ... Thanks for the tutorial and thanks to viperbjk for the goldimage ...
Great work and thanks a lot for this tut, I was going crazy not knowing what to do with my goldcard image.
Thank you for your tut.
I didn't realize that and was going crazy on how to do this work!
Waiting for HSPL now
Thanks for the great tutorial and thanks to everyone else involved with the tools to make this possible. I now have my O2 HD2 running official WWE rom and sim unlocked.
Still have a problem with Orange voicemail icon on the notifications bar, and Orange sending me strange text messages when I try and remove voicemail messages.
Great tutorial, much appreciated, but a small request, Would it be possible to add to, or a separate guide on How to dump/backup our installed Rom ?
It maybe common knowledge for You old hands but I've searched and not found anything on "leo" Rom backup.
Besides it being a good policy to keep a safety backup, I'm sure some of Us may need to revert the Rom if the phone had to be returned for service
Thanks again

HTC Magic (proximus) stuck in RUU USB - MY SOLUTION with Goldcard

My HTC MAGIC (proximus) was semi-bricked after installing the wrong RUU.
- no reboot possible
- screen says RUU (when plugged in, RUU USB)
- can't find device with adb devices
- can find device with fastboot devices
- not possible to make goldcard, because no adb connection
- running new RUU didn't work either
Altough I think this method can be used for other phones I am still not responsible for damaging your phone!!
Because I'm a new member, I can't use links in my messages so change all hxxp to http.
Here is what I did:
- Pull out some hairs, bite your nails, use your father's old mobile for some days (this part is not needed if you follow my instructions below!)
1. Create a Goldcard.:
- Find or buy an extra SD-card (not all are usefull for creating a goldcard, Kingston 2GB works for sure!)
- put your SD-card into the adapter and format it FAT32
- Download the Ubuntu live CD iso (Google it)
- burn this as an image to a CDR
- put your formatted SD-card in the adapter before restarting, mount it in computer's card-reader (card reader attached with USB will probably not work!)
- put the Ubuntu CD in your computer and restart
- boot from CD (sometimes you need to press F11 on startup)
- computer will boot from Ubuntu-CD, choose your language and choose to try the software without installing it to your computer
- Ubuntu will start up, in Ubuntu choose Applications -> Accesoires -> Terminal
- In the terminal type hal-device | grep mmc.cid
- the terminal will show you the SD card's CID, write this number down and double check it! (long number!!)
- If the terminal didn't show you the CID, you should try on another computer, I think it depends on the card-readers type.
- Shut down Ubuntu (right-upper corner)
- take out the Ubuntu-CD and restart computer
- install PSAS free version hxxp://psas.revskills.de/?q=node/6
- install HxD Hex Editor hxxp://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352_4-10891068.html?tag=mncol
- Start PSAS and Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox.
- At the bottom of this window, there is a text box (next to the “Reverse String” button) enter the CID number you wrote down before
- Click on the “Reverse String” button, the number you just typed in will change
- select and copy the number it shows now
- go to this website hxxp://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html
- enter you emailadres
- paste the reversed number to the CID box and replace the first two digits with a zero "123456789" becomes "003456789"
- click Continue, the goldcard.img file will be send to your email
- go to your email, save this file to your computer
- start HxD Hex Editor as an administrator (right click, "Run as administrator")
- click on extras -> open disk
- under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (uncheck “Open as Readonly) click OK
- click again on extras -> open disk image
- open the goldcard.img which you’ve saved before, select ok if asked for "sector size 512 Hard disks/floppy disks)
- at the moment you have two tabs, your removable disk and the goldcard.img
- select the goldcard.img tab
- go to edit -> select all again edit -> copy
- select the removable disk tab
- select offset 00000000 till/including offset 00000170
- go to edit -> paste write
- click on file -> save and exit the program
At the moment your SD card is a Goldcard.
If Goldcard doesnt work, try another SDcard. (Kingston 2GB works!)
2. Download and run the correct RUU for your phone.
For my mobile I used RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver

this instrucktion doesn´t work.
has someone another idea, to repair our phones?
help me
just insert the SD card which is gold card done and run the RUU updater only?
It worked !
Hello All, i had the same problem than Radjagios: Semi bricked HTC magic after an official RUU update. The update failed because the Phone ID was not recognized as a valid one.
I used the goldcard solution from Radjagios (thanks again to him) but with some changes (which are here between ++++++++)

++++++++++++++++
Worked too with my sandisk 2 GB Card (included with the phone when bought)
++++++++++++++++
- put your SD-card into the adapter and format it FAT32
- Download the Ubuntu live CD iso (Google it)
- burn this as an image to a CDR
- put your formatted SD-card in the adapter before restarting, mount it in computer's card-reader (card reader attached with USB will probably not work!)
++++++++++++++++
Indeed, USB card reader didn't worked well for me, i used an old laptop with built in SD card reader to obtain SD CID
++++++++++++++++
- put the Ubuntu CD in your computer and restart
- boot from CD (sometimes you need to press F11 on startup)
- computer will boot from Ubuntu-CD, choose your language and choose to try the software without installing it to your computer
- Ubuntu will start up, in Ubuntu choose Applications -> Accesoires -> Terminal
- In the terminal type hal-device | grep mmc.cid
- the terminal will show you the SD card's CID, write this number down and double check it! (long number!!)
++++++++++++++++
you also can copy the CID into a txt file that you'll save on an usb stick.. So when back on windows you just copy it again from the stick
++++++++++++++++
- If the terminal didn't show you the CID, you should try on another computer, I think it depends on the card-readers type.
- Shut down Ubuntu (right-upper corner)
- take out the Ubuntu-CD and restart computer
++++++++++++++++
In place of below just go to hxxp://hexrev.soaa.me/ copy your CID and click submit
the new cid number is ready to use ( no need to change 2 first numbers to 00)
- install PSAS free version hxxp://psas.revskills.de/?q=node/6
- install HxD Hex Editor hxxp://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352_4-10891068.html?tag=mncol
- Start PSAS and Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox.

++++++++++++++++
Website have changed
hxxp://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
++++++++++++++++
- enter you emailadres
- paste the reversed number to the CID box and replace the first two digits with a zero "123456789" becomes "003456789"
++++++++++++++++
Just paste the number you obtained from site hxxp://hexrev.soaa.me/
++++++++++++++++
- click Continue, the goldcard.img file will be send to your email
- go to your email, save this file to your computer
- start HxD Hex Editor as an administrator (right click, "Run as administrator")
- click on extras -> open disk
- under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (uncheck “Open as Readonly) click OK
- click again on extras -> open disk image
- open the goldcard.img which you’ve saved before, select ok if asked for "sector size 512 Hard disks/floppy disks)
- at the moment you have two tabs, your removable disk and the goldcard.img
- select the goldcard.img tab
- go to edit -> select all again edit -> copy
- select the removable disk tab
- select offset 00000000 till/including offset 00000170
++++++++++++++++
You must have an 00000170 offset line on the sdcard. At first i didn't, i tried again and it appeared ???
++++++++++++++++
- go to edit -> paste write
- click on file -> save and exit the program
At the moment your SD card is a Goldcard.
If Goldcard doesnt work, try another SDcard. (Kingston 2GB works!)
++++++++++++++++
To use the goldcard:
put the sd into your HTC magic, connect it to your PC , boot the magic ( you still have the error "screen says RUU (when plugged in, RUU USB)"
Launch the RUU from your PC as usual and normally it will do the upgrade to the end without blocking.
++++++++++++++++
2. Download and run the correct RUU for your phone.
For my mobile I used RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver
++++++++++++++++
Sthis RUU: works fine for me too there is no french france or french belgium available but french suisse works fine and have an azerty keyboard (strangely not in the first tutorial but after well)

Easy way to create a goldcard
You can borrow a Samsung android phone (I test in Samsung Galaxy Y), place your SD Card (maybe 2Gb SD Card) into the phone - turn on USB DEBUGGING. (Do not mount the SD Card to the computer)
Download Goldcard Tool v0.05 (available in xda-developers - google searching) - Open Golcard Tool - Click Get CID - Copy the CID in the Get CID textbox - enter to the link in the Goldcard Tool - paste the CID - select goldcard type: Android - enter capcha - download/receive a Goldcard.img.
Mount the SD in the computer (USB connecting) - click refresh button in Goldcard Tool - Choose the SD Card
Click button "Load Goldcard.img" - choose the downloaded Goldcard.img - Click "Patch MMC" - Success!
My Goldcard was test with T-mobile Mytouch 3G 1,2, it worked like a charm and I could root it easily with Universal Androot.apk
A day, I changed Hboot SPL engineering ver 2010...Some thing wrong...My device turn into a dark screen...I still try to find a shop reparing it Hboot.
So, Using Goldcard sometimes is a Dangerous way! But it is the only way if you semi-brick your phone - no recovery, no fastboot

Htc 0300 in tri colour

I have a HTC ELF 0300 it is stucking in the tri colour screen with the following
IPL: 2.26.0002
SPL:2.28.0000
i have followed the advice i found on this forum of flashing the ROM but when i try the rom update utility it comes up with error 270 about the image also i tried the mtty process but it wont open the usb port
i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..
any help appricated
Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx

(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD

Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!

There is a way to use a card reader instead.
Using Ubuntu LiveCD and QMAT
ps:I wonder how did the wiki entry got erased?
Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.

Can´t update [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable] Rom

hi people!!
Today I install [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable] Rom, a clean install but when wp7 open I got a freeze screen.
After a lot of restarts with and without the phone link to pc it finally unfreeze. I google that problem and I found this tutorial:
1, Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
2. At PC, enter WP7-Update-Cab-Sender folder.
3. Go to ‘if needed install this tool’ folder.
4. Install Setup-UpdateWP (x64 for 64 bits Windows and x86 for 32 bits Windows).
5. Copy DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab to WP7-Update-Cab-Sender folder.
6. Run WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat.
7. Then type S – (S)end Cabs to device.
8. After finished installation, close WP7 Update Cab Sender.
9. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
10. At WP7, launch StorageLock. Click yes to unlock SD card. Shutdown your phone.
11. Put your SD card into card reader.
12 Launch Partition Wizard Home Edition (download it here)
13. You should see 2 partitions on SD card.
14. Delete both of them. Create a primary FAT32 file type partition.
Click ‘Apply’ to begin the process.
This works for me, no more freezes.
Now I'm try to do update but I can't get my phone synchronized with zune. And when I try WP7-Update-Cab-Sender I got a error (no phone found).
Another problems: I can´t login to facebook. Zune, google maps and marketplace don't open!
My phone ID is HD2 but I read somewhere It should be HD7 to registry the phone.
(I apolozies from my bad English )
FIXED
That's what I done:
1. Flash wm 6.5 rom
2. Format my sdcard with a old nokia (6110)
3. Flash magldr 113
4. Flash XBmod-yuki rom
5. Connect the phone to pc, and automatically it synchronized to the phone and do the upgrades..
But I have another problem, in wm 6.5 I used a app to block access to internet because I don't have unlimited internet (nodata.cab). Anyone know
something similiar to windows phone 7? I try to google it but nothing...
