Tera Term for Windows XP?

Do any of you have a program that I could use to sync my phone to my Computer via usb? I've tried several versions of Tera Term with no success. I reached the point where I was ready to pull all of my hair out and then I remembered... I don't have anyway. Oh well. Please help I really want to upgrade my rom but I want to back up the old first. Thanks, Vern.

i think i don't understand what you're trying to do!?
Don't you use ActiveSync for Syncing with your PC?
And wtf is Tera Term???

This is what I'm trying to do:

1. Get a 128MB SD card. They're cheap - under $20.
2. Insert said card.
3. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386 and download the aWizard utility. CID-unlock your phone. (You only need to do this ONCE, even if reflash in the future.)
4. Get a terminal program that can speak over the USB port. There is a patched version of Terraterm out there, along with a few others. You need a way to connect to the device over the USB port as an ascii terminal.
5. Turn off the phone.
6. Holding the CAMERA key, press the power button for 2-3 seconds. Continue holding the CAMERA key until it comes up in the tri-color screen.
7. Connect the USB cable. Wait until ActiveSync tries to start. CTRL-ALT-DEL Windows and kill the process wcescomm.exe (ActiveSync's communication driver)
8. Now start your terminal program and point it at the USB port. Hit RETURN and you should get a command prompt. You are now talking to the phone's boot loader in terminal mode.
9. Type "r2sd all" and hit RETURN.
10. If you get a security level violation, you DID NOT CID-unlock the device. Go back to step #1.
11. The ROM image (all of it) will be written to the SD card. Several messages will be displayed while this is in progress. Note that this is NOT - I repeat - NOT - a filesystem-formatted dump - it is a RAW image of the ROM with some checksum information included. Anything on the SD card will be destroyed - don't do this with a card that has data on it you care about!
12. You can stick this card somewhere to be used for restoring. If you want to save the image off the card to your computer, stick the SD card in your computer and then dump 128MB of the card starting at the front (the actual dump is about 80mb but will always be less than 128MB, so that's "safe".) You will need a tool like "psdread" or any other tool that can do byte-level I/O to the SD card in your PC's reader for this.
To restore a SD-card image dump to the Wizard:
1. Write the image to the SD card. Again, this is NOT a filesystem - its a RAW image! Unless you saved the image to the card from the Wizard initially you will need a tool that can do a raw write to the SD card in your computer.
2. With the Wizard OFF, insert the card into the SD slot.
3. Hold BOTH the CAMERA and VOICE keys and press the power button for 3 seconds. Release POWER.
4. Look CAREFULLY at the Wizard screen. The backlight WILL NOT BE ON! It will tell you to press the VOICE button if you wish to restore the SD card image. This message only appears for a few seconds and the backlight is OFF! If you wait too long you will end up at the tri-color bootloader screen. Press the VOICE button (if you still have it down, let up on it then press again.)
5. The restore will run. Note that the backlight IS NOT ON during this process! You may need a flashlight (or very bright ambient light) to be able to read the progress meter.
6. When the process is complete it will tell you to press "any key". Do so and you're back in the tri-color bootloader screen.
7. Turn off the Wizard with the power button. When you turn it back on, it will hard reset just as if it was brand new off the firmware you just restored.
Note that this is the ONLY way to recover from a bricked phone if you try to load the wrong firmware file using one of the "forcible" methods (e.g. aWizard) on a non-CID-unlocked phone, and have bypassed the normal protection methods as ActiveSync cannot get back in there under these circumstances.
I strongly recommend that if you're going to futz with firmware, that you get yourself a 128MB card, make one of these dumps, and TEST the restore before you play around. This will recover from almost any botch - the only exception is loading a firmware file via some means (e.g. "aWizard") that the phone cannot execute at all.
Note that I do not know if this will get around the "boot loader version is too high" problem - I'm not willing to try it until I have an official T-Mobile update with a newer boot loader.
This same method for both dump and restore works on the SDA as well.
13. Overclocking the MDA (do so at your own risk!)

How fast you can clock it depends on your device, it's just a matter of trial and error. 240 seems to be safe for the majority of HTC Wizard owners. No need for extra tools to wake overclocking up after a soft reset or standby. I haven't noticed severy battery drain, I can easily use my device a whole day and come home with the batterie well over 50% charged.
It's just a great little program. The integrated overclocking comes as a bonus to the tweak that the program was actualy made for, remapping buttons so you can open the start menu without using your stylus and close programs without using the stylus.
Have a look around on the HTC Wizard Blog, there is lots of other stuff that you may find useful.
And Number 4 is WTF Tera Term is. Thanks.

Qns wrt SG Htc Dream and SDcard

Hi there,
I have a question regarding rooting HTC Dream.
For us SG users, we hav to go thru the tedious process of modifying and checking the compatibility of our sdcards before we can root the phone.
These are the steps we hav to go through inorder to flash RC7/29 and the HardSPL for root :
http://erlern.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/rooting-htc-dream-singtel/
Steps to Install other ROM versions on your HTC Dream (Singtel)
1. Download QMAT http://revskills.de/pages/download.html
It’s a demo version so will only can open for 10 minutes.
2. Format your memory card to fat32. Please keep in mind some card does not work.
3. Search in your android market for ‘Terminal Emulator’
4. type ‘ cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid ‘ without the quote sign.
5. Note that code down on a notepad or something. Make sure everything is noted correctly.
6) Go to QMAT site http://revskills.de/pages/download.html, download QMAT 4.36
7) Extract the file, double click on qmat.exe
8 ) Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox
9) Look way below, there is a text box (beside “Reverse String” button. Key in the cid number you’ve got earlier
Click on the “Reverse String” button, the result is reversed…
Example: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
10) Copy the reversed cid
11) Go to QMAT again http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html to generate your goldcard (this is free for G1 phone, Thanks to Viper!)
12) Enter your email. For the CID, enter the reversed cid you’ve got earlier. However you need to replace the first 2 characters to 00.
Example: From “532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402” to “002600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402”
13) click Continue and you will receive the goldcard.img via your email.
14) Go to your email, download the goldcard.img and save it to a directory first.
15) Now, download HxD Hex Editor for this site
http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352-10891068.html?part=dl-HxDHexEdi&subj=uo&tag=button
16) Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program
17) Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
18) Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved to a directory 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.
19) Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
20) Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset 00000000 till offset 00000170, click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
21) Click on File > Save. You may exit this program
Now, do a test to see if your SD card is “compatible”
Disconnect the USB cable connected to your SD card, then plug it back again. Go to My Computer, you will see your SD card (E.g. “Removable Disk ( F” ), double click and see if you can access it. If it prompted you to format, then forget about this SD card, don’t think it will work. After trying for days, I ended up buying a Kingston 2GB card.

Click to collapse
Hence i was wonder why do we hav to go through this process, and why are we not able to just flash RC images frm any sd cards ? And also, is this process only required for rooting? (ie. will a 'non compatible' card be able to flash new roms on an already rooted phone?)
With that, i hav some queries regarding SDcards. My current SDcard is a 2gb sdcard which has went through the whole process of rooting as it is 'compatible' for rooting.
However, i will be purchasing a new 8gb sdcard soon. Hence i was wondering if i will hav to modify the new SDcard too, and if SDcard partitioning will work for all sdcards and also, will i be able to flash new roms even if the new card is 'non compatible'?
any help is much appreciated
thank you ^^

issues with goldcard
Is anyone else having problems getting their gold card set up?
I have a class 4 4gb Kingston SD card, which I purchased specifically for this, that I've set up a gold card on SEVERAL times that is not working.
Every time I fast boot on my MyTouch it checks the .img file, then I get an error:
"Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!"
I know for a fact that my model ID is correct as I pulled it from adb, copied and pasted, and I've followed these instructions to the letter including using the hex editor.
I've also verified that the gold card is functioning by testing its ability to be written to.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? If this is not the place to post, please let me know and I apologize in advance as I haven't been able to find any one else with similar issues.
Feel free to get at me on gtalk:
[email protected]

same here man i have the same card and im getting the same problem. any help would be great guys

Creating GoldCard Problem
I have the same problem. But only the above given instructions to follow for HTC Magic also. But it does not work. Is any one to willing to guide us please. Thanks in advance.

try using the guide I made (link is in my sig)
Its what I did to root my G1 CRC1, worked like an charm

Any idea how to reverse the goldcard and make it back to a normal sdcard?
I tried format the card using window and that doesn't work completely.
I use a 8GB sdcard as a goldcard and now I don't need it anymore since the one-click root works. When I try partitioning on a goldcard, it return errrors like following. Also I try to use windows to format the entire card, the format is succesfully, however when i put the card in the phone to try to use it as one fat32, phone has trouble booting up.
error detail:

Has anyone tried using the 1 Click Root method? Does that work off a virgin SG HTC Dream set?

1a. Terminal Emulator on the phone.
You need terminal emulator to read CID of your SD card on your phone.
You can install ConnectBos - a terminal emulator from the development site.
- http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/
Starting ConnectBot, then connect to [local]. You will see the prompt.
$
1b. create your Gold Card
* Make sure, SD card for Gold card is in your phone when you check CID. I did not know and I need to do the process twice.
** The 2GB Sandisk one which comes in the box works just fine. **
You can get your CID by copy and paste this line on your phone terminal:
- cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid >/sdcard/CID.txt
Then from your pc, through USB external USB drive, you can see CID.txt.
follow the guide to create your Gold Card.
- Windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4289899
- Linux: http://www.android-devs.com/?p=21

Or to get the code from adb from your pc.
Install the android sdk from code.google.com.
adb.exe will be in the tools directory of the sdk.
then: click start run and type cmd
in the dos box type:
adb devices
If your phone shows up, your good to go. If the list is blank, you need to install the driver. control panel>system>hardware>device manager>right click on android phone then update driver. Point it to the usb_driver directory in the sdk directory.
Try adb devices again, if good now then proceed with:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
That will give you the code.
If you want to copy/paste it:
If your in a dos box (cmd) on xp, right click>select all. Then <cntrl>c to copy Open a new text file then <cntrl>v to paste. For some stupid fkn windows reason(insert moronic windows comment here) you can't select text in a cmd box with a mouse on all versions of win so thats a simple workaround.

The one that came with the Magic is a 2GB Sandisk, and it's formatted as FAT.
Are you sure it needs to be formatted to FAT32? Or can I just use the stock card as-is?

Successfully rooted 32A and flashed with the new radio SPL and rom in cursordroid`s guide, and discovered something in the process of doing so.(when trying to create goldcard) Maybe its been posted before or is common knowledge but I`m posting it anyway.
About the reverse CID procedure:
I found that when using the QMAT software to reverse CID for my mmc I got a reversed string of only 31 digits as opposed to the expected 32.Tried at first to add a leading "0" to get the 32 digits required in step 11.
(I didn`t screw up, got 32 digits with other mmc`s and also tried changing between HTC/samsung brands in QMAT software on the reverse string "page" but sill only 31 digits)
I found that reversing the string manually was possible by dividing the the CID into chucks of 2 and reversing the chunks starting from the back.
example:
exampleCID: A0B1C2D3E4F5G6H7I8J9KaLb (32 digits)
Chunking CID into 2`s: A0-B1-C2-D3-E4-F5-G6-H7-I8-J9-Ka-Lb
Reversed: Lb-Ka-J9-I8-H7-G6-F5-E4-D3-C2-B1-A0
removed dashes: LbKaJ9I8H7G6F5E4D3C2B1A0
->continue to step 11 after replacing 2 first digits with "00"
Maybe people who have mmc`s that dont work should give this "manual approach" a try and compare reversed CID`s before buying new mmc`s as there may be some flaws in the QMAT software in some cases/CID`s.
Btw I used the mmc that came with the phone (sandisk 2GB) and the phone had been RUU`ed with the latest official HTC update (Scandinavian/norway).
Used androidSDK and fastboot to flash everything.
Formatted goldcard using a cardreader because formatting using the phone apparently doesn`t set everything to "00". (phone does a "quick format"? and not a "low level" format)

Interesting. That might happen if the CID string contains spaces (which often happens when copy'n'pasting serials but not entering them manually. I will have a look for it in the next PSAS version, promised.

You need to root your phone.....Read the stickys at the top of this section to learn how

It has been rooted before. then I unrooted it gave it to someone to use, it got updated and I don't have a sim with data and now I can't do anything with it. I guess I will have to downgrade via SD stick somehow through the recovery menu and try and run the exploit again.

if your one of those one-click rooters....your out of luck
you will have to root the old fashion way.....hint: RC29 DREAIMG.nbh

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yup, I had the same issue, downgrade to RC29, then follow this:
**Originally Posted by dizzydevil111**
please make sure you have rc29 or lower by typer (enter)reboot(enter)
if the phone reboots then you have rc 29 or lower.
if not, follow this guide to downgrade to rc29
2. Mount your SD card in Windows and reformat it as FAT32. The HTC
bootloader won't be able to see the RC29 (or RC7) image otherwise. Make
sure you back up all your files first!
3. Download the appropriate image (RC29 for USA or RC7 for UK) from
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAIMG-RC29.zip or
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAIMG-RC7.zip . This is a DOWNGRADE
to the Android version that contains a root shell bug (this exploit just
seems too easy). I got these files from the forum thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 .
4. Extract the DREAIMG.nbh file from the downloaded zip archive and copy it
to your SD card (again, for me, this had to be formatted as FAT32, not just
regular FAT which is the default). Don't put it in a folder, just stick it
directly on there.
5. Disconnect the SD card the right way (eject, unmount, or otherwise tell
your OS you are unplugging it) to make sure the data gets written. If you
used an SD card reader, put the SD card back in your phone.
6. Make sure your phone has a full battery, then turn it off. Turn it back
on by holding down the CAMERA and POWER buttons. This should get you into
the HTC bootloader (the funky red, green, and blue screen).
7. If everything was done correctly, the bootloader will detect the image.
You'll be taken to a different screen that asks you to press the POWER
button to install the image. Do this, but beware, you will lose all your
saved data on your phone (with the exception of things that are synced with
Google's servers, like contacts, calendar, Gmail, etc.).
8. Wait for the update to complete. The progress bar will fill up, then
all the steps will say OK beside them, and finally, it will ask you to press
the "action key" (I think this means click the trackball). DO NOT do
anything until you see this message. The progress bar needs to DISAPPEAR,
not just fill up.
9. You now have the stock RC29 installed. Take out the battery, put it
back in, and turn on your phone. It should ask you to activate your Google
account again -
once you have this done type on the phone again (enter)setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1(enter)
your pc should now pick this up as an android adb device
point it to the correct drivers found in the file called androidusbwindows
once that installs, extract the adb file anywhere on your pc. (best place is root directory)
open up a dos command prompt and type (cd ..<enter>)
then type (cd ..<enter>)
then type adbshell
should look like this thereafter
$
referring to the dollar sign
then copy the following line into your dos command prompt and press enter
(am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings)
please make sure that you copy the contents of adbwin.zip in your ROOT FOLDER or else you will be going through hell
voila you should be able to access wifi
pm me if it worked for you

Yet another another WORKING How to root your Incredible

Thanks to everyone and all their post I was finally able to root my Incredible. Since I was having issues getting mine to root I tried pretty much everything that was said on these forums.
The secret to rooting is the timing of inserting your sdcard before the recovery screen is shown.
Here are the steps that I did to root 2 difficult incredibles.
1) Download the google SDK. You need the adb command for the rooting process.
2) Install HTC Sync or google SDK drivers. It doesn't matter which one you use. You just need the drivers installed and working.
3) Put your phone in USB Debugging mode under the applications config section.
4) Plug your usb in your phone while it is booted normally.
5) Select the disk drive option when prompted.
6) Make sure you can sucessfully connect to your phone using "adb shell" command. If this does not work you will not be able to go any further. This means drivers are not installed correctly.
7) Power off your phone. Doesn't matter how. Battery removal, press power off button etc...
8) Remove your SD card.
9) Press Volume down and power at the same time.
10) When the phone is at the Bootloader menu press Volume down and Highlight the Recovery option. Do not select it yet.
This is where the rooting process gets tricky.
11) Make sure your usb is plugged in.
12) Make sure you dont have your SD card in your phone.
You have to insert your SD card in your phone while the recovery mode is loading. There is a specific time window that you must do this. By using different SD cards they take certain time to initialize during the loading. This is why some SD cards work all the time and why others have to be inserted at a certain time
13) Go ahead and get your "adb shell" loop running. It should show "error: device not found"
14) Bring up a clock. You will need this to keep track of when you inserted your SD card during the recovery boot process.
15) Press the power button to select Recovery and start counting the second hand on the clock.
16) Start at 1 second and insert your SD card. You will wait until you hear windows beep when its loading the drivers for the USB device. After the 10 seconds your adb loop screen should show the following if it worked: "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)"
17) If it does NOT show this you will need to remove the battery and SD card and go back to step 14.
18) Increment your time by a second. So for the 2nd try insert the SD card after 2 seconds have past. So far on my walmart PNY 2gb SD card on 2 incredibles it takes around 5 to 6 seconds of waiting before I can insert my SD card. If you get to 10 seconds you need to restart and try again, but this time try half seconds increments.
When I select the Recovery option and the phone is loading I will see the white splash screen near the bottom kinda flicker a little bit and have a small horizontal line distort across the screen. That's about the same time I insert my SD card.
If you get the "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" message looping in your shell prompt, Congrats you have access to the recovery shell. You will need to follow these steps to fully root your phone.

Thanks to everyone in these forums offering their input. Without your input I wouldn't be able to root my phone.

At first I thought it was you reposting or someone poking fun at these types of threads.
You guys say like the same thing. Hopefully that means this is a good "update" to the process and people will have a slightly easier time.
I have Froyo on my Droid so am not too eager to get my Incredble rooted, but I have been following along.

I'm going to use an atomic clock to time and root my DI and report back on the decay rates of Polonium!
I appreciate users' attempts to refine this process, but I'm sticking with the old: insert the card right before white-switches-to-black . . . I tried timing and found myself slamming the sdcard card into the slot trying to make my targets, and that ain't not good for the DI.

Best bet is to grab the official RUU for your phone and try running it reset and restore your phone. The offical RUUs are in the Development section

i wish can get the answer on this thread..
later if i bricked my phone, so i know how to fix..

Thanks...

Yes, i meant that method in that thread.
No, the stock ruu .exe file will run from bootloader.
Also, very important, if you were s-off before this happened, do not flash anything lower than the version it shows in your above photo. The "2.12.720.5" is your mainversion.
So i would create a goldcard, and run this ruu...

This version is still rootable with latest revolutionary so no need to worry

No, although if you had s-off with revolutionary then you wouldn't need the goldcard, but because you are s-on you need the goldcard. You will s-off once you get your phone booting again.

Step by step instructions : For making the goldcard (Simplest Method - Tried and Tested Working) :
Connect the memory card via the Phone (Use data mode/Disk Drive Mode , Not sync mode ) . Or you can also use a Memory card Reader if you have the MMC SD Card adapter for the Micro SD Card .
Format the microSD card to FAT32 format (Do not format it in NTFS Format ).
Now open the Goldcard helper tool Which you have Already downloaded and installed it in your Mobile device . And click Goldcard Helper Icon In your Menu Screen .
The Goldcard Helper tool Will Automatically generate the Reverse CID Values for your MMC And The C drive of your System. Use the first MMC Card reversed CID Value , NOT the C: Drive Reverse CID Value .

Yes, you can make a goldcard on another phone and use it in your IncS.

a friend of mine sent me a goldcard he used this on his Incredible S
i did the following steps mention in this thread
The Downloaded Image from The Email Will Help you to Make your Goldcard For Flashing Your HTC Incredible-S S710E .
Now Open the HxD hex editor. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must run the application With administrator Previledges (Run as an Administrator).
Go to the 'Extra' menu and select 'Open Disk'. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card) , now uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk.
This is important (Choosing the Physical Disk NOT The Logical Disk) else you will not have a Goldcard And your Android Phone will not Load the Image File That you place on your Goldcard MMC !
Now Go to the 'Extra' menu again and select 'Open Disk Image'. Open the goldcard image that you received by email. When prompted for 'Sector Size' , select the option - "selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)" and then click OK.
You will see two tabs in the Hex editor window - One is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image. Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the 'Edit' menu and choose 'Select All' option then select the 'Edit' menu again and select - 'Copy' . The selected sectors will be selected .
Now Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 0000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (include the 0000170 line too), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'. It will copy Down on to your Mmc card .
Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Save', accepting the warning.

If he sent you a goldcard, then you shouldn't have to do anything to it. Just stick it in your phone. Your buddy has already done those steps. That's what makes it a goldcard.

Exactly, all you have to do is format it in windows and insert into your phone and run the ruu.

You should be set S-OFF for your phone and flash custom Rom (better ship Rom)....

Guys may be i was not clear enough my friend did not actually sent me SD card. He sent me GoldCard.img file
Now when i am trying to follow these steps & edit this Goldcard.img with HxD Hex Editor as mentioned in this thread
