[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Ok, I will make this short,

A Gold Card, is like a signature verification for a ROM you are going to install,

HTC, in all their infinate wisdom, decided to put a safeguard, to verify, that if you install a stock ROM from an SD card, it's signature would match an acceptible update.

Unfortunately, they made it the SD card's responsibility. Not the stock ROM file or update.

As insult to injury, HTC, once again in their infinate wisdom, decided,,, F....K the Gold cards, nobody will every update besides our own authorized method of "pushed" updates through the OS.

Bottom line, as most users discovered, you have to follow the link I gave you, to create a gold card on your SD card.

Basically, you can google and find a couple ways to do this.

In a nutshell, you use a little program to generate a CID for your SD card. Send it online through their website, and they e-mail you back a file.

Open the file in a hex editor, copy and paste what "they" sent you (lines of code), pasting exactly where they tell you to paste, Save, and voila!! You have your gold card.

Without it, on amost Desires' you aint doing squat...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
so can i make a goldcard even if i cant access the phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
Ok i tried this rom again (RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed)

and it installed ok right to the end were it says congratulations your phone is now ready to use...great so i thought :(

but it still wont switch on :(

I pressed the power button and all the lights on the buttons lit up but thats all it did
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Well, blow me down and call me shorty.

Usually, if I remember correctly, and bear with me because I've had 6 ltrs of ale.... Usually we access the SD from the phone. Don't quote me, you may be able to do it from a PC. Check with the instructions for making a gold card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Also, before installing any ROM (and I know I will get blasted here), boot into recovery, if you can. Wipe all memory, User Data, and Devlik if applicable. That's,,,, if you can boot to recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just use the newest unrEVOked to reflash the recovery. Then flash another custom rom.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
But... considering you can run an RUU, I will bet the Gold card will fix it.

Just wish you could wipe your cache memory.

I would guess, it might take 2 or 3 times...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
He can't even barely get into recovery, and USB connection, is intermittant at best.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
i installed revoked but it wont find my phone :(

I am hoping if i can make a goldcard on my pc that will work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
I didn't think Unrevoked would find your phone...... And what's it going to root? Place it's sysploit file on a corrupted OS???

Gold Card, then try a stock Froyo RUU or image.

If you could boot to recovery, Vol- hold, the press power (with ph off of course), would make it a lot easier.

The fact your Ruu ran, tells me a gold card will fix it.... (I hope)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
Well ive looked everywhere to find if you can make a goldcard from your pc but no luck :(

I guess its time to give up and accept defeat :(

Will make a great paper weight though :)

I really appreciate all the help you have given and will read all tutorials before hand in future

Thanks mimic

So I have a new SD card im going to put in my phone today. I guess i need to reinstall WP7

So do i need to format the SD card, and jsut reinstall WP7?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
This wont work for me. When I orginally installed WP7 my Scandisk microSD card did not format, so I have no memory left on my phone. Its running the software with SD card right now. So I need to reinstall it, and I just want to see if all i need to do is put it in USB flasher and reinstall, or do i need to back all the way to the orginal rom and start from the begining
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] aghnokneemoose:
No you shouldn't have to start all the way over. Just take batt out and back in and turn on then hold end key (red) untill the magldr menu shows up then select option 5 I think it is. Then connect phone to computer and click on the DAF file from your ROM file.

make sure your SD Card is in before doing this. WP7 formats it automatically.

Does this help?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CharlesG70:
quick change

Have you tried the simple method...

go to settings > about

click [reset your phone]

when the phone powers off, swap the SD cards

the phone will reboot and format the new card.

your OS is on NAND, but is using the card as part of the opperatign space.

Good luck.

When the nook is connected via usb and you are looking at on your computer you need to put your nook books in the 'Nook->my documents' folders to have them show up in the nook app.

I use Titanium Root Backup but its a pain to have to click "install" and "done" for each app restore.

Isn't there a way to do a 1 click no-prompt restore of all apps/data?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
The paid version of titanium does just that, it is well worth the money to purchase the full license, especially if you flash something new every other day like I do.

Edit*

It also adds some nice features such as repairing broken market links (also deutsch from market) which is nice if you don't want an asp to update and hate the popups like me. You can also clean unneeded files from your dalvik cache with it...etc.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Hey all,

I've been perusing these and "other" forums trying to decide if I should perform the stock update and reflash one of the new roms.

I'm currently running Vegan 5.1.1 and loving it. Everything works like I want it to, it's very stable, and I've spent a lot of time "making it mine."

With the new update, and subsequent new roms released by our dear friend Roebeet, I was wondering if there would be much of a benefit for me to Nvflash to stock, perform the stock update, then reflash one of the newer roms, ie Brilliant Corners, Mountain Laurel, or his newest Adam based rom?

I've always been of the school that if it's not broken, don't fix it. I figured that these new roms were intended for those that received their gtablet with the already updated 1.2 bootloader, but I've read people on forums going from 1.1 custom roms, back ot stock, then to 1.2 then reflashing a newer rom. Most of them only report on bugs etc in the new rom, but I've not seen anyone comment on whether it was actually better than their 1.1 rom, or what, if any benefits they saw from it.

I planned on using my current setup until it's outdated significantly. For instance, if Nvidea provides drivers, and VS creates a GB update, then the wonderful devs that are working on gtablet make a true working, supported gingerbread rom, THAT'S when I'll update.

so, bottom line, would it be worth it to nvflash to stock, update to 1.2 bootloader, then install Brilliant Corners? or an I best just not fixing what isn't broken?

thanks for the replies, and I apologizse if this was addressed in another thread. I've searched, read, and couldn't find anything this specific. I've read what the update contains, and what it does, and the problems with it, but I have not read anyone adress a direct comparison betweeen the options that are currently available.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkymark75:
I got an Omnia 7 on Virgin Mobile. Once I got it connected to Zune it updated to 7008 (pre-NoDo). Since then there have been no further updates.

I then put my Vodafone sim in it as this is my main account so I'd rather use that. The phone must be sim/network unlocked as it worked straight away with my Vodafone sim. I notice that Vodafone have released the latest update but my phone still isn't picking up any updates.

So, even though Vodafone don't currently sell the Omnia 7 (the do have a couple of other Windows 7 phones), will I still get the update or will I only get it if I put my Virgin sim back in?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
You'll still be able to update even without a SIM. Microsoft is currently holding back the update for Samsung phones (again) to fix issues with updating.

Ok even though I've been a nexus one owner for over a year now and have flashed various roms, and know how to use adb, I have not a clue how to do that. Tell me step by step and I'll do it.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Install alogcat or a logcat logger from the market and then do a checkin (call *#*#2432546#*#*) then filter the logcat (Menu - Filter from within alogcat) and search for http or .zip :)
[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
I don't think it worked. I installed alogcat, opened it, then went to my dialer and typed that in...and then now my notification bar no longer shows the update, but shows "Checkin succeeded"..so went back to alogcat, hit filter and typed in http and none of these look like the right links. it's the link that goes along the lines of //android.clients.google.com/checkin (1 requests sent).

filtering by zip comes up with nothing.

also as i said above now my update message is not in my notification bar.

Okay. got the update thing back. went into settings>about phone>system updates and now it's showing there again.
[Nexus One General] georgemv:
Connect the phone with your computer.

Run adb logcat and make sure your phone's logs

Download the Update

Send us the complete output of adb logcat after downloading has started :)
[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
Just to be clear once again, I don't WANT the update..so by trying to install it, it should fail as I have a custom recovery and ROM right? I don't want to screw up my setup.

EDIT: F$ck. Sorry guys I think I might have screwed it up. I ran adb logcat, and instead of going into settings>about>system updates and hitting download I hit install now from the notification bar thing. The phone rebooted and then the installation cancelled. And looking through the logcat I didn't see any links so I decided to try it again, but now when I go to settings>about>system update it says my phone is up to date. I've heard that people who don't want the update try that and let it fail so that it doesn't bother them again, but also heard that it doesn't work as the message comes back after a little while. Hopefully it's the latter for me so I can get it right this time. If and when it does come back, am I correct in assuming that what I should do is go to settings>about>system update and try to download it there rather than hitting the install now option from the notification bar?
[Nexus One General] georgemv:
It should fail with a custom recovery, but do take a backup just in case.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Flash FOTAKill and don't bother yourself with build.prop and such.
[Nexus One General] georgemv:
Would you mind then sending me a PM with your IMEI and SN so I can fake them to Google and get the download link?

it says not enough memory.is it same for you too?
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
I haven't had this on the SGS2 as it has 16GB of internal memory but if you're having trouble then download something like this which will allow you to move all apps to sd.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result

Failing that use the ADB script that is floating around on the forum.

Just make sure you don't move widgets or live wallpapers to the SD card or they won't work at startup.
[Galaxy S II General] cCeT:
app2sd didnt work.it is still same.and when i checked my phones storage it shows:

total space: 11.50gb

why not 16gb?
[Galaxy S II General] DVC1985:
Some space is reserved for System data, some space is reserved for Personal data, and some space is reserved for Application data, so you only end up with about 11GB of usable space. I know this to be the case for the Tab so I presume it'll be the same for the SGS2.

I also believe you need root access to use stuff like app2sd?
[Galaxy S II General] Death666Angel:
Because there is space reserved for the ROM/OS and for Apps. 11.50GB is the internal SD. You also have about 2GB of space for apps. And some space is for the OS I believe.
[Galaxy S II General] cCeT:
i see.maybe that not enough error because of,system doesnt see the 11gb phone storage as an external storage and it means you dont have an sdcard so you dont have enough space?
[Galaxy S II General] Shanakin:
I don't have an SGS2, but as I believe it is pretty much the same as the SGS1 which I do have.

apps2SD is for moving apps to a removable SD card. If you don't have an SD card in how do you expect to move to it?

The internal SD card is partitioned into several drives, for the rom, cache and includes a 2GB drive for installing applications to. After this it has about 11.5GB left for personal use, eg music, pictures, whatever. None of these partitions are considered the external SD.

Personally, I have never found a need to actually use apps2sd on the original and I can't see much need on the S2.
