GoldCard sources for "small" halfbrick repair

Hi friends. There are links to HTC7Pro "small" halfbrick (only bottom USB/Serial line miss on tricolore) repairing by GoldCard. "Big" halfbrick you can restore (or restore to "small" halbrick) by my older posts in this thread.

O2 DE

http://htc7pro.howto.cz/O2ODE/goldimg.nbh ... success confirmed

T-Mobile DE

http://htc7pro.howto.cz/TMobileDE/goldimg.nbh ... success confirmed

Europe version

http://htc7pro.howto.cz/Europe/goldimg.nbh ... success confirmed

Please, send your models/brands SPL nbh file links (something is preparable from Ansar ROMs) and its confirmations about unbrick success.

Probably all brands are usable for valid model unbrick, but I have not all confirmations, use rather your correct brand, which is probably working also in nbh form only (not necessary to make GoldCard img file, see http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=284123 discussion). Be sure to use valid model version! Attention: GoldC=Arrive is not the same as Gold=7Pro.

You can use simple feature USB A/F-A/F adapter (price only one Euro) to working with GoldCard without bastling, with cables, which everybody have at home - see picture here, external power (2,5 harddisc Y-cable) is better to prevent flashing crash. MicroSD Nokia is not necessary, may be used any card, but you must code goldcard image (see XDA WP7 GoldCard threads), if your brand/region is not equal to nbh file.

For GoldCard making (if no nbh file is working) you need additional Android/WM6/Symbian device, able to read SD Card CID, or Linux (may be Ubuntu >= 9.xx only) with PCI(express on Laptops = from side) card reader. I have start working on application able to read CID from card reader, but only a few of card reader types will supported (any features must be present), may be no one will have success (longer time needed for discovery).

EDIT: For equal brand/region SPL flashing you can use SD (not SDHC) card with ANY goldcard.img (not necessary CID corresponding)! One is downloadable from http://HTC7Pro.HowTo.cz/goldcard.img . Their CID corresponds to 1/5 chip SD cards (full GoldCard) and usable for all others to equal brand/region SPL flashing. But, you must use old card reader (for me it is working with very old AllInOne reader, my new readers have probably better CID security firmwares).

I am working on HTC unbrick manual from partial posts, but I must wait to more confirmations. Are you somebody able to make language correction for it? My English is very bad :(

SIMPLE UNBRICK SUMMARY:

1. "Big" halfbrick (one line on tricolore) -> Force HTC OEM Update (3 possible ways, by my posts, if not occured itself).

2. If success, you can downgrade SPL (by my posts or by GoldCard).

3. If not fully unbricked ("small" halfbrick = only Serial/USB miss on tricolore), use GoldCard (in small halfbrick is possible to force USB mode by power+volume down+shot pressing after restart).

after flashing hspl my touchscreen doesnt response. in spl it shows the message "TOUCH NONE". im using a htc trophy with swisscom branding

after reflashing to old spl the touch is not working anymore also maybe its an hardware problem
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
Yeah, found it. RSPL text got two Schuberts and HSPL doesn't at all.

LOL. seems noone reading instructions :D

ok we will fix it in the next release ;)

strange, maybe really hardware problem, because SPL operations doesn't touch TOUCH at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] M1cky:
@cotulla Should we be expecting a magldr release soon? ;-) I heart dual booting!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
i have (stupid) promotional HTC 7 Pro (Gold) device from T-mobile Croatia (not officially sold yet) with software 7003 and CID0...

when enter in OSPL mode on screen show this:

PC92100 MFG SS-BC (4K)

SPL-082.2250.0(107257)

tried run RSPL but nothing...

P.S.

in last few month tried to flash this stupid device but nothing worked, also gold card not worked
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DaveShaw:
You've been around long enough to know that no-one reads instructions on this site :p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
for LEO - yes. about WP7F, we have some experiments and runnning some MAGLDR version on Gold and Mozart, but not sure how deep it will go.

because this devices are not so lucky as LEO, some things make stuffs difficult, like external audio codec and other ril interface. Last thing can stop porting for a long time. time will show truth ;) but I can't promise anything. LEO is still The King. haha.

thanks so much for the beautiful work but I get this error:

[Error Description]:

Please make sure that your device connected to computer.

also make sure that right drivers are installed (they comes with WMDC / AS usually)

Try to connect device to different USB port and also you can try to reboot PC.

[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (184)

I have a hd7 with PD29100 with mango
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
Do you enter SPL mode on the device? Are there "USB" at the bottom?

Which error program give you? Copy info please.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Happyman:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] florinet4:
many thanks Cotulla.

i have one question. My Htc Mozart displayed "Security Unlocked" Can do HSPL on this phone? and what represent Security Unlocked?

Thanks and have a nice day
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Wind Dancer:
So here's the million dollar question - will the device be unlocked after running this?

Also just to clarify, will all settings be lost?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sutt359:
My HD7 is security unlocked and i installed the HSPL without a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
nothing else that unlocked spl with the tools?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] samson291:
How did you get your phone security unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KooTee:
I can confirm that above linked Europe version GOLDIMG.nbh works fine in my "small" half bricked HTC 7 Pro.

Thank you :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
Thanks for confirmation.

By post link, you have used "full" GoldCard (with img file). Have you anybody success with only GOLDIMG.nbh on the card? I have only one confirmation this is working when equal brand, for me no one nbh (only) is working. M.

______________________

News: By next research, any flashing MBR (not necessary CID equal) must be present on this "simplified GoldCard". Formatting in WM device changes MBR itself. If somebody has only PC, must format to Fat32/4096 sector size and change MBR by HxD or GoldCardUtils. Any usable goldcard.img (which is CID equal to very much SD cards and usable also for correct brand/region SPL from not equal SD cards, but only with old NOSDHC card reader) is downloadable from http://HTC7Pro.HowTo.cz/goldcard.img
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Speadge:
hi martin,

sorry, but its quite hard for me to follow ur posts.

Your are always reffering to "my older posts in this thread" of which i can find hundreds...

is there a chance u can make one big post where u explain the recover of small-halfbricked and big-halfbricked (mine) phones?

I just found tons of rom-links, ppl tried, had success and so an, but there is no "red line" to find what rom works on which phone and so on..

would u mind spending some time for a good step-by-step explanation?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
"Big" halfbrick -> force OEM Update. I repeat older posts:

When you have dev-unlocked Pre-Mango backup, STORE YOUR BACKUP FIRST (OEM Update rewrites backup to locked Mango version), install U2M7720, push "DoNotU2B2", "OK", "Done", "Chevron unlock", install Mango by Zune and HTC update will occure itself. Second possibility is registry values changing in any registry application.

When you have only locked Mango, try UpdateCabSender or UpdateWP to send Your model valid HTC OEM Update (links are above). If no success, buy ChevronWP7 unlock and OEM update will occure itself, if you have not phone halfbricked after last OEM Update (this is not solutable now, if UpdateCabSender or UpdateWP not works. I am working on next way to force OEM REUPDATE, but it seems to be very long way...).

Yes, I will do it next weak. I am waiting for any next success confirmations. Possibility of fullbrick must be 0%! Are you able to make English language corrections?

And, I must first finish and try my own GoldCard (I am now after "Big"->"Small" halfbrick point on my phone only). I have only very old 64MB SD card and very old USB card reader (not able my SDHC cards reading) and no Android/WM/Symbian device. My goldcard creating is more difficult, but possible. I want write also this way to manual, becouse much people include me have not Linux/Android/WM/Symbian as a few of people, which have total unbrick confirmed in this and other posts. If it will too much work, I will use any lent friend's device and will recommend the same to developed manual. Martin

______________

2nd December 2011: I have got valid SPL-1.22.2250.0 now (HSPL x Mango brick -> Big halfbrick SPL 3.xx -> force HTC OEM Update -> small halfbrick 5.xx -> downgrade by GoldCard -> SPL 1.07 OK -> unbrand -> SPL 1.22 OK :)). I am going to finish full unbrick (and SPL downgrading) manual. Look for my post on the weekend. M.

thanks, but it will be godsend if u can figure out how to downgrade SPL 5 without the goldcard thing
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
It is very simply way, read my old post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195647&page=76#755 (find MS Word doc manual on first forum page, translate from Czech, I will do it on weekend as part of unbrick manual), or simplified version is here http://translate.google.cz/translat...nizsi-verz-spl-do-zarizeni-s-windows-phone-7/. But I prefer simplified GC, becouse its creating is very easy now (for me two minutes, for any simple using is not full working GC necessary). But, I must try more, may be it is wrong info and I have got full GC by little mistake. M.

Edit: For all next readers - please, do not use ROMUpdateUtility method way from this post. This is one point only, which had not success on my own phone. But, I have repeatly success confirmed in PM from many people. Do not believe it anybody, for SPL 5.xx and any devices it is danger and stupid operation! Again - DO NOT USE ANYBODY!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
i have read it but there are no official guide.

can u come up with one??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
Sorry, I do not understand your post (I am not able to read natural English, only technical or Google translated). What do you mean in term "official guide"? Microsoft guide? I mean MS or HTC will never make it. My link is to Czech language pages similar to XDA. I have got message from author to use this link on XDA forum, but I must ask him if translating to English is possible. I mean English is accepted on XDA only, then I have used Google translating link of this site now. I have got mentioned method success confirmation from any people, but all have HD2 device, I am waiting for more devices confirmation now.

CDMA support

I really cant wait for CDMA support because Right now it sucks that I cant unlock my phone
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 5ft24:
I can confirm this works great on HD7 with the SPL 5.1!!

I muddled my way through the Google translation, and got the basic idea.

so here is what it needs:

1. Download a STOCK ROMfor your phone from the proper region, ie: TMOUS download a stock TMOUS ROM with a 3.1 or before bootloader.

2. Format a 1G SD card as FAT32 under windows.

3. Use 7zip etc to extract the files from the stock ROM file.

4. rename RUU_signed.nbh to SCHUIMG.nbh

5. Copy SCHUIMG.nbh to the SD card.

7. Use the same "Y" cable arrangement you use for the Goldcard. Power side to your PC, SD card reader into one end, Phone to the other.

8. Power on the phone while holding Volume down and Camera buttons

You will see the activity light on the SD card reader blink, and the phone should go to a new screen showing "SCHUIMG.nbh ---" at the top, then showing

Load RADIO

Load Bootloader

LOAD OS

LOAD TOUCH

The phone will reboot several times, and shows OK in turn after each item, then shows "TOUCH OK" 4 times. Finally says it's done successfully and you can power cycle the phone.

When you do, re-insert your MicroSD card you took out of the phone, back in.

It's now at the Bootloader version and firmware of the STOCK ROM you used... load RSPL/HSPL and you are good to go!!!

I used http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc87524/n/RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_3.01.531.02_Radio_5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE.exe and my bootloader went to 3.1!

I just loaded DFT 7740 V3 ROM and it's working GREAT!

This method ONLY works if you use the ROM for the region the phone was branded in!! that is why the SD card CID and goldcard aren't needed!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ariey:
Sorry, but what the number 7 means? do you mean install it into card reader?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
is there any way to do it without gold card??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
Yes, it exists. By my still research, 3 ways are possible:

1. For all brands: Make "full" GoldCard. Read CID by WM/Android phone, or by PC/laptop with PCI(micro) card reader and reading from Ubuntu (may be only LiveCD). Next as point 2.

2. For equal brand: Make "like" GoldCard. Use 4 GB chip SD and any old AllInOne USB reader (new SD/SDHC reader does not function for me), format card in any WM/Android device, or format in PC with Fat32/4096 sector size and from PC is needed any (not necessary CID equal, when brand equal SPL is flashed and when old, probably CID ignoring, card reader is used) goldcard.img MBR writed (easy from PC Windows using GoldCardTools.exe). Both 1st and 2nd ways need Y-cable, but it is very easy with USB A/F-A/F Junction (see my picture).

3. For equal brand/region: .....

Edit: For all next readers - please, do not use my 3rd point from this post. This is one point only, which had not success on my own phone. But, I have repeatly confirmed in PM from many people. Do not believe it, for SPL 5.xx and any devices it is danger and stupid operation! Again - DO NOT USE ANYBODY!

I mean it can, and also it may not help him, probably 50:50 by any confirmations. I have had this "small" halfbrick after unlock and update. Any next SPL updates was everytime finished in this not fully unbricked state. In this situation only GC SPL downgrading helped me (becouse USB mode is not present on tricolore, but is present after Volume down+Camera+Pover pushing, it is better then full halbrick with one line only on tricolore). See my older post or wait to just prepared full unbrick manual. Again - can you somebody do English language correction of it? Czech version will presented today or tomorow on WMMania.cz and HTC7Pro.HowTo.cz sites. M.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

I have the same result on my HTC7Pro as you. But, I had halfbricked SPL in time of trying it. And, much people with Schubert (tried any SPL_signed.nbh from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876451), Gold and somebody with flashed HD2 confirmed me this way success (read HD7 confirmation for example here http://translate.google.cz/translat...=http://wmmania.cz/forum/193/36398/?&start=20). But, much people with other device (especially Trophy) confirmed flash error.

Little note: MS SQL Server, Skype, Apache etc have wrong influence to ROMUpdateUtility using on my computer, I must stop much programs and services. M.
