Hi,

Since you are running the 1.8x firmware. You need to downgrade it first. Check this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003 follow the steps carefully (create goldcard etc)

Hi limkoksoon

Visionary will not work with version 1.84.

You need to try a get good copy of pd98img.zip installed before you are able to use Visionary.

Try that link again or you could try under Files at

or

i've tried creating a goldcard using an empty 8gb card. loaded the goldcard.img into the card and i've downloaded twice the pd98img.zip.

i boot up into bootloader and it runs automatically. the first blue bar runs perfectly. but the second is gold bar in the end i got CID incorrect.

i followed the steps given and still can't get it right. still got s-off.

ok guys. i wipe everything from my mind now and start all over again.

i'm downloading 1.72.405.3 R2 now. can i just run it with my DHD plugged on my PC?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
It has to be the PD98IMG from downgrade thread. It is not corrupted, it is a signed file so you cannot open it.

I think i know whats ur problem....

I got 2 X 16G, 1X 8G and 1X 1G sdcard

i tried creating gold card on my 8G it failed, i mean all progress done with no errors but

it wasnt a goldcard after all

only my 1G sdcard was a real goldcard. So in my opinion not all sdcards works to be goldcard

try 2G and 1G or maybe 512mb scard!!!!

SD HC Cards don´t work pretty good for Goldcards. ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekrem:
The guide you are reading does not always work. Please follow the steps listed here CLEARLY and CAREFULLY. It will work if you do this as I have done this with many Desire HD phones from across the world including Malaysia.

This guide explains how to create a GoldCard. A GoldCard is a special SD card which, when inserted into your device, allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example, if you own a T-Mobile branded device, this will allow you to flash a generic ROM.

Please note, I am not responsible if you damage your phone in anyway because of this, this is a guide written by someone else that I have extracted to share with you. This has worked for me and I have succesfuly used this method to de-brand over 5 Desire HDs

Requirements

•Spare microSD card

•Windows PC (recommended)

•ADB (part of the tools folder of the SDK, available for download here

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

•HxD Hex Editor, available for download here http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD

Step by step instructions

•Format the microSD card to FAT32 format.

•Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.

•Ensure you have unzipped the SDK (you can Google this to find the link to download it), then open a command prompt to the extract location (where you extracted the SDK Files). Change to the 'tools directory.

•Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.

•Visit this http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , paste in your number and reverse it. In our example the result would be 00544d5107943247039c7d22bd002653.

•Visit this http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard , enter your reversed number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.

•Open the HxD hex editor. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must run the application as administrator.

•Go to the 'Extra' menu and select 'Open Disk'. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!

•Go to the 'Extra' menu again and select 'Open Disk Image'. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.

•You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image. Press OK when prompted for 'Sector Size' (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.

•Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the 'Edit' menu, choose 'Select All' then select the 'Edit' menu again and select 'Copy'.

•Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'.

•Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Save', accepting the warning.

If you have troubles installing the SKD because it requires something to work hit next, back and then next again and it should install.

GOOD LUCK!

[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
I'll start off with background: I'm 16 and recently started driving. My parents are kinda paranoid and want me to text them every time I leave or arrive somewhere. I'm lazy and forgetful and they think I'm dead if I don't text them. See my dilemma?

I wanted to try and help myself out. I downloaded Ulysses speedometer thing and tasker. My idea is to have it so that tasker will catch when Ulysses is open and send my mom an sms saying I'm leaving and then when it closes say I have arrived. It would also be cool if it could enable/disable GPS and awesome if iit would tell her my location.

I tried just the basic part but couldn't get it to send the message when I opened Ulysses. My question is, can somebody who knows more about tasker than me (I know how it works but it gets confusing) help me get this working? It would be awesome and if my driving led to me getting a job I might be able to donate you some moneys or something. In the least I can give you a virtual cookie and/or hug.

Thanks!

Bump, I could really use some help with this.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
Bump again, this is my last try. I got everything figured out to have it start GPS, get location and everything... I just can't get it to send SMS which is the main idea. Even making another profile whose only function is to send an SMS doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidSteff:
I dont know Ulysses, but if you combine the "App" context with a GPS location context this could cause problems because the App context only becomes active in the instant where the app is started. So if you start the app and you are not at the location from where you want to send the SMS, then the profile does not become active and no SMS will be sent (clear ? :confused:)

I would not use the App context and GPS Location for this, but rather the "cell near" context. This context can be calibrated to a specific location by scanning the cell towers in range and it does not eat as much battery as the GPS. I use this for setting my phone to silent when I am at work, or switching of the keylock when I am at home.

With the cell near context it should be possible to use the "send SMS" action.

You can also try to combine it with a timer or set a flag to avoid multiple SMS in case you come close to some other cell tower for a short time and the profile switches on and off.

If you want your position to be included in the SMS you can use the "Get Location" action. It uses either GPS or net based location.

For GPS: When your profile becomes active (activated by cell near), set the GPS to be switched on, and use the "Get Location" action (which has to be set to GPS). Allow some timeout to get the fix, then your position should be stored in the variable %LOC, which you can use in your SMS text. Then send SMS and switch off GPS.

For net location: also use the "Get Location", but set it to "Net". You have to have Internet connection to get a location that way, and in your location settings (phone settings) "use wireles networks" (or something like this) has to be activated. Net Location is not as accurate as GPS, but normally its not as much of a hazzle to get a fix. I think the net location is stored in %LOCN afterwards...

Hope I didnt get anything wrong, just wrote that from the top of my head.. :p Just use the help buttons in the different action tabs to get the detailed info.
[General Questions and Answers] k818mn1:
While I applaud the effort you are making to try and automate the process of letting your parents know that you are safe, I am sure that they would appreciate it more if the SMS came from you personally and not from a machine. Make an effort to consider their feelings of anxiety while you are a young driver, and take the time to text (or maybe even call them). Drive safely!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro6128:
I recently got a gtab last week and have been looking to use it to stream line my grad school and work life. I'm running vegan 5.1.1. So far I use

Documents to Go

(Reading/editing/creating docs)

Drop Box

(synching my work/school files)

Gtasks

(to do list that syncs with google tasks)

Handwrite & Genial Handwriting

(for use with a stylus to hand write notes, style trying to decide which one to go with)

Repligo Reader

(to annotate pdf files)

Thinking Space

(to make mind maps, haven't really used it much but could be useful)

Sketchbook Mobile

(for drawings, mostly for fun haha, but could be good to draw up a quick diagram)

Thumb Keyboard

(alternate Keyboard with lots of customizations for better use on tablets)

iDisplay Wow this app is amazing, allows you to wirelessly use your gtab (or any android device) as a second monitor for your comp. If you have a case with a stand, or an independent stand, you'll really be amazed at how useful it is

How do you guys use your tab for Business or School?

What are some other useful or productive apps you guys use for business or school?

Also, can anyone recommend a good solution for handwriting notes on the gtab? Genial Handwriting and Handrite both work pretty well. MaplePaint seems alright, but not good for longer sessions. Most of the paint apps fail for this reason.

Anyway, I just thought this thread could be really useful for the Enterprise and Educational users. I'm trying to get to the point where I can use my laptop less and less, that way I don't have to carry it with me to class or meetings.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revned911:
You hit a lot of the good ones I like. Checkout Springpad for an on the fly catchall note/reminder/organizer app. I really like Business Calendar. its a paid app but looks great on the gtablet. I sometimes use mNote for the quickest possible text cloud notes (like stuff i dont need in a word doc or springpad).

Titanium Media Sync is a great app for syncing a folder to your Dropbox account. Its the app dropbox should have been. careful on the first sync though - make a new folder in dropbox jus for this because it will erase the folder and make it identical to the one on your gtab on the first try. i lost a whole day if shoulder notes that way.

I think thats the stuff i go to daily. Thumb Keyboard is a great keyboard that is optimized r tablet use. you can customize where the break is, and how tall the keys are.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro6128:
Oh yea I forgot to put thumb keyboard on there. I completely agree, makes typing on the tab way more bearable. I'll check out the other ones you mentioned too

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro6128:
Yea the gtab can't replace a laptop (no tablet as of now can). Like you I still need my laptop for the more intensive tasks. I guess a better way to think about it is rather than replace a laptop, I'm looking to better incorporate the gtab into my workflows that way I can use it for the tasks that don't require a laptop.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro6128:
Another app to add to the list "Idisplay", it allows you to use your gtab as a second monitor and works insanely well. No chords needed. Its been incredibly useful when typing while having another document open to reference.

If you had the Malata dock, you could just use an hdmi cable to connect your Gtab to a tv. I'm not sure about other adapters, but you might be able to plug an RCA via the headphone jack. I haven't tried that, I might when I get home because I have one of those for my vibrant phone and that works.

I agree. I commute everyday for work and don't want to bring with me corporate laptop. What I do is leave the laptop in my office and bring home/clients my gtab. It works fine if you only need mailing, browsing, reading,... (simple tasks). Office productivity is limited. I have tried all office suites for android. Powerpoint will only allow to read, it's impossible to edit. As for excel yesterday it took me 1 hour to make some easy spreadsheet calculations.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
I have been using mine since February and can't live without it. For my human Bio class I was able to load all the lecture powerpoins from the teacher and view them in docs to go. The lab study guides were all in PDF so I used adobe and I was able to study on the go.

With my chemistry classes I use the free app chemistry helper which has conversion calculators , atomic mass calculator and full periodic table that when you touch an element it takes you to the wiki.

With other classes I can use docs to go and dropbox to rough type a paper on my tab and then format it properly when I get home.

In all the gtab has helped me be more productive in smaller amounts of time. Having my lecture notes on me all the time is amazing. Having the ability to do research on my tab and send the links to my home PC for deeper review is awesome. In all I am so much happier with my tab than I would have been with a laptop.

I use the table to read and annotate PDFs.

Foxit reader (available from official website) allows pdf annotation and is a pretty good reader overall.

Sugarsync is a free service to do true file sync between an Android directory and a PC directory (unlike the dropbox app which doesn't sync at all). I actually use sugarsync to sync a "school" dropbox folder to my gtab. I open the pdf on the gtab, edit, save and when sugarsync runs the annotated pdf is pushed back to my desktop. Once sugarsync updates the file on my computer, dropbox sees the new file and updates as well.

Titanium sync does this directly to dropbox, but sugar sync is free and has other great features.
