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 :

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.

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:

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

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

[GUIDE] HOW to downgrade HTC Legend 2.2 to 2.1 to enable root

Hey guys, it took me 3 whole days to find the right way to downgrade.
Note: This is to be done at your own risk; I am not responsible for any damage or harm caused by this process.
Note: Information in this guide is taken from the works of following Authors:
1. wag3slav3: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430)
2. Paul (http://android.modaco.com/content/ht...rom-froyo-ota/)
3. TheDeadCpu: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746454)
Please Follow the Instructions Carefully; to ensure success!
Items Required:
1. HTC Legend
2. 1 MicroSD Card (Gold Card)
3. 1 Micro USB Cable
4. Full Charge Recommended
5. Windows OS (I used W7)
Other Stuff:
1. Android SDK
2. hack4legend-v5.zip
3. RUU 1.31 for Legend
Common Errors Faced in the Process:
1. c---rw---- INSTEAD OF crwxrwxrwx
2. ADB Server timed out
3. Various RUU Errors
4. Visionary Not Working/Opening
Troubleshoot:
When you attempt to root you may face ADB timed out errors, it can be very annoying – there are various reasons for this, for me it was HTC Sync that was conflicting with ADB, shutting it down allowed me to boot into the custom recovery (step2 in the root process).
If you run into various other RUU errors (such as: unable to load boot loader, which was fixed by following step 3 correctly.) while trying to downgrade, most likely you didn’t do it correctly. Try doing it again and it should work.
Visionary Not Working/Opening (Solution: Download from phone browser: http://content.modaco.net/dropzone/c...ryplus.r13.apk)
Recommended to Back up Data:
1. Contacts:
You can save you’re contacts from you’re legend by clicking contacts, menu, import/export and export to SD Card.
2. SMS:
Get the SMS Backup and Restore App form Market, Install and Save it on to the SD Card.
3. Backup Complete SD Card:
Copy all the contents of the SD Card and save it onto the PC.
We start now;
Step 1:
Install Android SDK
Extract hack4legend-v5.zip to C Drive
Step 2:
Have adb in your path, or move the files contained in hack4legend-v5.zip into your sdk/tools directory so your pushes will work properly.
FOR ALL OS's Make sure your phone has Applications->Development->USB Debugging turned on.
Do NOT have your phone in Disk Drive Mode, have it in Charge Only.
Open a terminal window in your /tools/ directory. Type this at the prompt.
Code:
crackin.sh
or in Windows
Code:
crackin.bat
Your phone will reboot 5 times.
You WILL see several error messages.
it looks like this c---rw----
c---rw---- 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0
You’re done with this.
Step 3:
- Temproot with VISIONary r13 (install the downloaded file as per a normal APK)
- Once you are temprooted, connect via 'adb' and do 'su' (to get root) then '/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img'
Step 4:
RUN RUU to downgrade to 2.1 – it should be possible to do so now.
Hence, you will be downgraded to 2.1 and you can use the normal way to root your legend.
All I can say is that the CM7 Mod is so fast on the Legend, no lag whatsoever, it's beyond! (will post a video 4 you guys)
End.

Forgive me if i seem rude.Hasn't this been covered in many other threads before?

I searched the site but never found this same method, is a combination of 2 or more guides at one place, also touching on some of the common errors faced when downgrading.

after this command '/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img'
it says "flash_image not found"....

So? Find it and put it there via adb.

but this is what i try...
i have both files in c:/hack4/ and in c:/android-sdk-windows/tools/
i wright in command " /c/hack4/flash_image misc /c/hack4/misc1-2.img"
and i have the message "flash_image not found"
am i doing something wrong?
i have also tried "/c/android-sdk-windows/tools/flash_image misc /c/android-sdk-windows/tools/misc1-2.img" the same problem...

Nooooooooo dammit! You have just pushed both those files to your phone!!!!!!!!! Go to your phone shell via adb, execute su to gain root privileges and then execute flash_image on your phone not on your PC!!!!! It doesn't really matter where on the phone do you have both as long as they are both in /data dir and don't prepend anything!!!

i am very confused now , can yoy help me step by step?
i run on my phone visionairy and then i click on temproot.
then i run on my pc cmd and i give the comand "adb shell" and then i type su and it says #...
after that should i give the next command on the pc again or on my phone, and with what should i replace the /data/local/ ...?

Pay attention dude!
Open two command prompts. Name them ONE and TWO. You gonna use ONE for copying files from your PC to your phone using adb push. You gonna use TWO for connecting from your PC to your phone using adb shell and execute all commands meant to be executed on your phone there. Now use ONE to copy (adb push) a program called flash_image to your phone's directory /data/local. After you do that use TWO to connect to your phone (adb shell), execute su to gain root privileges (you get # prompt) now in the same commnd prompt (that's TWO) change permissions of program flash_image you have just copied to your phone in ONE. Then also on TWO execute flash_image program with parameters from above.
If you don't understand what I'm saying you better sell that phone and instead use phone booth. In fact sell all your hi-tech stuff including your PC. It would be much safer for you and even for us.

my friend i pretty sure that you know much than i do...
but for your information i am 48 and i am the last 20 years involved with computers and mobile phones.... over that 20 years i have learned at least to follow instructions (if they are clear), so once again thanks for your help.
my problem was that after unistalling sync 3.0 and installing sync 2.033 i have not uninstalled the drivers so i had problem.
after fixing that everything went smooth.

So after 20 years in computers, you actually found out that the problem was on your side and not in the instructions. Too bad. My mom is also been using computers for more than 20 years. She knows what is monitor and that she can move cursor around with the mouse.
BTW what has version of sync to do with your confusion? You are trying to say that "flash_image not found" error had something to do with sync version? Ohh, give me a break...
And as far as clear instructions are concerned... I guess they are pretty clear if 99 ppl find them OK and one (that's you) doesn't.
Don't want to be rude but maybe 20 years was too much and it is time to start something completely different.

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

in order to create GoldCard do i have to S OFF cell phone ? If yes then how?

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

[Q] Boot loop and ADB push problems. Please help.

Ok there is a lot info about this however I have a few issues that makes it difficult for me to get past.
I unlocked and rooted just fine. No issues.
I flashed the elemental kernel as I wanted the knock on feature. That was when I ran into problems and my backup doesn't work.
I started getting the "com.htc.htcdailer" isn't responding issue. Then the phone reboots. I am not up long enough to load a rom to flash either.
When I try to sideload anything it doesn't work. I did update all the SDK files like I found in some searches. No go.
I am at a loss now what to do. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Boot into TWRP, download this driver:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
Connect it to your PC in TWRP mode to your computer and Windows Device Manager, update the driver pointing to the one downloaded.
It should install with out an issue and the device should be detected thru ADB. Now all you need to do is push the rom via ADB. I recommend Cyanogenmod as its very small to push. I cannot quite remember the command to push a file as it can be complicated in the folder parts, but use this to push easily:
http://skipsoft.net/download/toolkit/nexus7toolkit/Google_Nexus_7_ToolKit_v5.0.0.exe
Ignore the fact that it's for the Nexus 7. Once it's installed, navigate to My Computer, click your hard drive and you should see a folder called Nexus 7 toolkit or similar (if not there check in Program Files). Look for an exe called "tkmain" and create a shortcut of it on your desktop. Keep that folder section open for now. Double click it. MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEE YOUR DEVICE SERIAL ON TOP TO ASSURE ITS CONNECTED. Now go to the same folder you saw the tkmain.exe and you should see a folder that says "Put Files to Push here". Drop the rom in there. I recommend naming it something short like "cyanogen.zip" for example. Now back on the toolkit, select the option that says Push file (I think it's option 13), answer Yes to the insecure boot image question, when it says select a file to push you should see the name of the rom zip , type it exactly as its name/you renamed it. When it says select a location, select /sdcard/ and proceed with the rest. It may seem like nothing is going on, and it may say something about "failed: success" beforehand, but trust me it's pushing, once it says complete, your ready to flash the rom.
Remember that if your S-Off, you need to flash the boot.img seperately via fastboot.

Thank you very much for the help.
When I get to the point of typing which file to push the application cannot find the file.
I have been flashing roms for a while since the OG Droid and I can't understand why this has happened. I'm close to being beat.

The ROM must be in the folder that says "put files to push here" (make sure its that folder as I remember that another one seems similarly worded) from the toolkit program directory. You have to manually place your file there. If anything, close the toolkit and reopen it (remember, tkmain, the other section of the program is all Nexus related) and try again. Remember also to shorten the name so you don't have to type it in completely. Somewhere above where your supposed to type the file name you should see your ROM file. That's when you type it in exactly as you see it, for example, "rom.zip" you will type it in exactly like that.

Yessir I double and triple checked that, I can't get it to find the file. I did rename a couple of different ways and tried with and without the".zip" part. No luck. I do appreciate the help.

Do you have an adb/fastboot folder set up? If so, time for some manual method. Grab the ROM zip and put it in the same folder as your ADB and fastboot folder. Start adb thru command prompt then type in:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /storage/sdcard
Hopefully I remembered it correctly. Should be that way.

I finally got the RUU to work. What a week and seems fine now.
Last piece of advice hopefully. All I want is the tap to wake feature. Stock is fine.
What is the best way to do that? When I tried using other kernals is when I ran into problems.
Thanks for the help.

Lol i misread that disregard the rest. What custom kernel are you trying to use? Remember each device is the same but also different. I had 2 LG G2s that would not double tap to wake, but would double tap to sleep. All the rest of them worked perfectly. Have also came across friends with G2s that wouldnt work

Best way is to flash the kernel in my signature. After you flash it, double tap to wake should be working automatically.
