Happy XMAS :
Go and get your WM7 or Android goldcard for free :
(The goldcard generator works currently for all WM7 HTC phones, including Mozart, Trophy, Gold and Schubert)
Link to the goldcard generator
In order to use the WM7 goldcard, just use an OTG USB Cable with power connector (Y-Cable, see below)
and connect a sdcard reader to it.
Steps to do :
1. Use any FAT32 formatted sdcard and a wm5 or android device to generate the goldcard (Yet we do not know how to read the cid
using WM7)
2. Store the needed firmware file ruu_shipped.nbh to the sdcard (goldcard) with the right filename :
MOZAIMG.nbh for Mozart
SPARIMG.nbh for Trophy
SCHUIMG.nbh for Schubert
GOLDIMG.nbh for Gold
MONDIMG.nbh for Mondrian
3. Insert the sdcard into an sdcard reader (SDcard slot, not microsd-slot for multi readers), connect the y-cable with usb power and
then to the mobile.
4. Press camera+volume down+power on to enter the bootloader in host mode, firmware update will start then.
For OTG cable, you can buy an usb-to-mini-usb otg cable and a power usb adapter,
OR you can build it by yourself, see attachment.

Is there a way to do it replacing directly the card in the slot of the device?
I create a goldcard using goldcard tool, the device see the card but when I update, I have "invalid vender ID". I have a HTC Trophy SFR branded.
Can you help me please?
Thank you in advance
Jean-Philippe
Yes, internal sdcard should also be fine. However, the goldcard generator is only for htc mozart right now. I'll have a look if HTC Trophy can be also added.

Hi Jean, Please can you let me know how to get know CID for mozart on Orange UK. I downloaded the tool and selected both mmco, mmc1 options but always get Failed to get CID message.?
Goldcard tool find the CID only when using a linked device. I used my HTC Desire to find it. It did not work when I try with the SDHC in the PC.

In order to use the WM7 goldcard, just use an Host USB Cable (Developer Y-Cable) and connect a sdcard reader to it.
Edit :
For those who do not understand how to use the goldcard :
- Use any sdcard and a wm5 or android device to make the goldcard (Yet we do not know how to read the cid using WM7)
- Buy a Mini USB On the go Y-Cable like this one :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DeLOCK-USB-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1292614709&sr=8-1
Also buy a converter from standard usb to micro usb.
OR build a usb otg host cable by yourself.
- Get an external usb sdcard reader
- Connect the cable this way : Phone is connected to 1x usb sdcard reader and 1x usb port for power.
Then you can use your newly generated goldcard for flashing any HTC OEM Rom

I just tested this on a hd7 but it isn't seeing the sd card (I used the card for flashing on wm6.*) I tried all the connections on a Y-cable (the same as what you posted)
It should work fine using an sd cardreader and y-cable.
You might have problems with read-only sd cardreader
OR
if the sd cardreader isn't powered externally (means no sd card reader will work without dc power).
For the latter, be sure that you power the sd cardreader using an external power source.

How can I test/see that ?
I can write on it (I used it to put the .img and .nbh on it)

I did all this (I used the charger for that )
Maybe i'm just stupid, but what can i do with a goldcard on wp7? mozart doesn't even have a microsd card slot. yeah internally for the main sotorage, but i'm not planning on swapping that one very soon.
Thank you very much for the description, though some points are still not clear.
The black end of the Y cable goes to the device, the other black one goes to the SD card reader, the third one which is red colour gets power from the PC.
Through this there is no sync to the PC.
The question is which SD card should be the ROM copy, and under what name the ROM file?
Whoever done such thing before would be highly appreciated to hear the experiecnes!
Thank you in advance, Lifeforce
Just to clear things up :
1. The goldcard generator works currently for all WM7 HTC phones, including Mozart, Gold and Schubert.
2. Connect the y-cable with sdcard reader and inserted goldcard, connect power usb to notebook or charger.
3. Press camera+volume down+power on to enter the bootloader in host mode.
If you haven't got a y-cable (otg), you can build it by yourself, see attachment.

What you wrote is all clear!
The question was, how the ROM will be on the device?
As the PC gives only power to the card reader, ROM cannot be installed from there. (there is no data connection with the PC)
So it seems only solution is that RUU_signed.nbh file should be renamed to something
eg. MOZIMG.NBH (it is a make up word, do not try it )
So the question remains, what should be the name of RUU_signed.nbh, and if it should be copied to the built-in SD card or to the GOLD card?
I expect this upon the connection Schematic and the cable which you sent a link of.
The ruu_signed.nbh should be stored on the goldcard with the filename :
- SCHUIMG.nbh for Schubert
- MONDIMG.nbh for Mondrian
- MOZAIMG.nbh for Mozart
And the goldcard should be in the sdcard reader connected to usb cable.

in jeff's kitchen it's mentioned next to the 4.00.10 an 16 roms that u can write a new rom to your sd-card for bootloading "usind the sd-card slot in the device"
is that true? from what i found in the forum u need a sd-card adapter. or is there a way for XDArit or any other software to get the rom onto the sd-card without having to use an adapter (which i dont have right now)
:roll: thx!!!
Just use the cradle the phone comes with and connect with ActiveSync. Then you just go into Windows Explorer on your PC and you can copy and paste to the device just like on your PC.
really? but XDArit only recognizes the hard disk, not the XDA on USB as a drive.So I dont see a chance to create a rom image and write it to the SD card. 'And writing it first to my harddisk would screw the disk, right??
use XDATools...it can do that
ok, sorry for not realizing that in the first place. I never noticed there there is a new tool. :?
thanks!!
I was trying to install ROM update from http://www.yorch.net/
But (( I was waiting 60 min when installation finished.....and my Phone is doen't work...I can't used it, i can't turn it on ...there is only screen
-----------------------------
Upgrading.....
It will take about 5 minutes
Warrning : Do not remove the usb/serial cable
bla bla bla....
-----------------------------
Misters Proffesionals, if I didn't backup my previuos ROM what can I do?
-----------------------------
OK, here's what you do:
Get these tools and an SD-card reader for your PC (either as an SD-card or as a USB device). Use them to write the NK.nbf file contained in your upgrade package to an SD-card (64 MB or larger, all data will be erased). Then insert the SD-card in the device and put the device in 'bootloader mode' by holding the power button while soft-resetting. When prompted to press 'Action', press the center of the rocker keys. Wait for flashing process to finish. Cold boot (small hole). Presto.

Why are you running 'fixbootloader'? That's for people that have a running WinCE and no bootloader anymore, or for people that wnat to get rid of their 5.17 bootloader. This is not your problem.
You need to write the OS image to a card using OSImageTool, selecting the .nbf or .nb1 file as the source, and the SD-card as the destination. You can only use an SD-card reader attached directly to the PC, you cannot use the one in your XDA because the OS isn't running there.
...Hmm
When I triyng run this app [OSImageTool] I got error message [see scrennshots].
I already create from Yochi nb1 file, if I put this file on SD card and then put SD card into my Pocket PC, then make reset it helps???
-----------------------------
Trying
Ok I put NB file to SD using this application....what next?
I am confused...
So I got Card Reader and SD card for 128 MB
I put NBF file using application XDAtools-Jeff Image on SD card,
than put SD card inside Pocket PC, made soft reset and........
Everytnig the same nothing happened.......
I still have the same [image see first image on topic]
Also If i am using this tools I can't access to Device using Active Sync....
so see my screenshoots...... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
It's not that difficult JUST READ

Insert your SD Card into your device and reset (soft reset while holding down the Power button) to enter your Bootloader.
When you do this, the Bootloader will automatically detect that you have a CE ROM in your SD Card and will ask you to press the Action button to flash the device with this ROM. Press the Action button and wait for the flashing process to complete.
That link to zensay.com doesn't work anymore
What was that link for ? All it says is that the QTEK site is closed indefinitely.

Hello,
i have an mda compact III with an broken usb port. i use active sync via bluetooth without problems.
is it possible to change the rom of my device without a working usb port?
perhaps directly from memory card?
many thanks in advance,
joa
yeah
you need to format your card(not sdhc) to fat32, and copy there a rom file( rename it to arteimg.nbh). After that enter bootloader mode, and slide a volume button.
sd card flashing will work but make sure your device is CID unlocked (in case you are flashing cooked ROM)
Does anyone know why when I plug the phone in that the computer says USB Device Not Recognized?? I have done all the trouble shooting that HTC and HTC wiki states. I just need to get some sort of connection so I can load a ROM into it and without an activesync connection i'm screwed! Please help!!
activesync isn't needed if you flash from the phones bootloader using sd card or usb.
ok here's the stupid question, bootloader meaning the rainbow screen? also do i just load the RUU onto a sd card and open it up from the phones file explorer?
I just bought a computer that has windows 7 on it and I cant get it to recognize my 6800 also. Any suggestions to correct this?

if you put the rom in on a card and go to bootloader it should find it for you.
Hi,
I have a Vario II that i have flashed many's a ROM on to. However i can no longer do so.
I can get as far as the confirmation screen, click Next, the progress bar appears but remains at zero then a few seconds later activesync crashes.
Flashing the ROM then fails (obviously)
Any idea's?
I have tried searching but found nothing helpful.
p.s. i am flashing via USB
I have expirienced this on the PC at my work. Our PC there has a restriction for USB Drives. The ActiveSync detects my device but when starts to flash the connection is cut. Having an error on the RRU that my USB is disconnected or remove.
Maybe you can check your PC if it can detect your device even without ActiveSync. You can go to your control panel and check if there is no undetected hardwares.
BTW, what is the OS of your PC.?
i'm using XP.
I will try to flash my Kaiser... see if that works.
i can flash my Kaiser so no issues with detection etc.
Still the same issue with my Hermes tho.
Any help appreciated.
Use the SD card flashing method. No need activesync/cable. Read wiki : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
i had considered that but don't have a card reader. They cost pennies these days so i guess, no excuses!
Cheers.

If you still have a working WM, you can install WM5storage and make your phone act as a card reader/usb thumbdrive. You can then format and copy files normally like using a usb card reader/thumbdrive
Thats odd. Do you use the same connector on your kaiser?
Also may i ask what's your HardSPL Version..?
