This is how I've done it and it's my third rom in 5 days.

1. Format you micro SD to FAT32 using a USB card reader, not quick format preferably

2. Read CID from your SD with Qmat while connected with active sync

3. Get Gold Card using QMat with the CID obtained, you should have in 2 min

4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync

5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!

WORKS LIKE CHARM

RKS LIKE A

MY HD2 - east european unbranded

PS you can flash both your regional rom or any other rom

The OP has condensed & removed all the bumpf from the link, sometimes too much information is confusing to a LOT! of people. Cost? 2 cents!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] meptik:
There's a difference between condensed and incomplete. The post doesn't even mention where to get QMAT, or were to apply for the actual goldcard. The least OP could've done was post a link to the sticky thread.

Aside from that, I would personally advise easily confused people to stay away from QMAT, especially if all they have is half a tutorial.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] don_theo:
Thank you. Clear and simple. (Have to combine information from the sticky post

as well thought)

Will try it later on.

UPDATE

After trying unsuccessfully for more than two weeks to flash a different language ROM, and reading this post I have managed to flash the new 1.6x ROM in 5 minutes.

Notes

Used the same MicroSD card I have been using unsuccessfully the last two weeks, and the same goldgard I had for two weeks now.

The goldcard remains the same no matter how many times you format the SD, and immediately after the completion of the installation of the new ROM needs reformat. Can be reused as many times as we want I guess.

THANK YOU

Apparently i did something similar to your way, and it works. The way posted in the Guide is not working for many people, this might be a good option for those who are at the brink of giving up to flash their device to 1.61. :D

This works! I didn't even format my SD card! Thank you

does not work for me. I have tried all combination, all possible thing. still not working. :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ripnard:
Hi wmfreak.

Worked first time and so easy. Was going to try the long winded hex editor etc way but this was much easier.

No format of SD card required either as stated above!

THANK YOU!

TIP. I did not extract the new ROM package. I executed the Turkish ROM as it was from my desktop and worked fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
hum.. I did not extract the ROM file. I just start execute the ROM image I downloaded, it start to flash, the phone automatically turn into bootloader, then phone show the percentage, at 1%, it stopped, phone reboot, screen on pc, says ''invalid vendor ID".

I have tried 2 different SD card. all possible combinations. still not working. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] don_theo:
Hello, that is why I combined information from the sticky thread

Probably you have to

--a: install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit original PHM Site (offline at the moment)

--b: Run the regedit software

--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies

--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1

--e: Reboot the HTC LEO

and from this thread

4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync

5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!

This the the procedure that worked for me. (steps for obtaining a GoldCard not mentioned here).

Good Luck.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] waiting2lose:
sorry for being thick guys but....if i flash my rom do i have to use the same memory card as what im using now or can i use another just to flash??

obviously using the one i have now i will delete all of my apps when formatting??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xaddict:
Use another sd

Correct, or backup your current sd.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Prinz069:
Same here:

Got the goldcard.img from qmat directly saved onto SD card and tried to flash the official HTC_GER_1.48 onto my VDF device. Vendor error, can't flash :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
I did that. but did not work. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] don_theo:
Please describe the steps that you are performing in order to try and help if I can.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
I tried format SD card in phone, full format on pc, I tried 2 diferent cards.

I set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies 00001001 setting to 1

reboot phone

read SID in Qmat, then get goldcard.img from the Qmat site.

Write GoldCard image to SD

I tried put phone in bootloader, execute rom image file from desktop, also tried execute rom image in activesync, I tried extract rom image file, execute romupdateutility.

all of those did not work. :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] don_theo:
Full format on pc (FAT32) - success

I set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies 00001001 setting to 1 - success

reboot phone

read SID in Qmat, then get goldcard.img from the Qmat site (do not exit Qmat) - success in Activesync mode

Write GoldCard image to SD and SAVE - success in Activesync mode

While at this step go to your PC leaving the phone AS IS and run the executable of the desired ROM. Make sure that you have at least 50% of battery.

Just follow the steps and I believe it will flash, and at the end when it boots your SD card will not be recognised and will need reformat (for the next time that you will need it), but the task (flashing) is accomplished.

Do not try to extract any image as in my case I found it was not needed, neither the bootloader
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
yes. all of those steps came successful, and it start to flash, at at 1%, it stopped, pc screen says invalid vendor id, the phone reboot. i have tried numerous times.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] don_theo:
This is strange. It happens to you what was happening to me for two weeks before following this procedure. I did not change my SD nor my goldcard, and it worked without any problem.

Is your SIM card locked to a provider i.e. T-Mobile?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Overstear:
Amazingly enough the method in the first post worked for me as well. I have no idea why I wasn't able do do this before, and it couldn't have been lack of trying, but it worked! Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tubgirl:
The CID number I sent to get a goldcard was found using getsdsn1_leo.exe and I notice that all letters are lowercase. The QMAT program gives a CID number with all UPPERCASE letters. Will the Goldcard generated be the same regardless if lowercase or uppercase letters are used?

Also... can I backup my current ROM somehow so that I can roll back if I'm not happy with the version I try?

Right now I'm on Swedish 1.43.413.2 (70124) SVE.

Thank you for helping :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hawkn:
Hi everyone.

I'm really confused now, because several apps like pocket auctions and barcode scanner and a few more seems to be in a "cannot find it" mode, because after my factory reset on my hero, when I search the marlket it doesn't show up.

And yes, I've tried several approaches but still...nothing.

After several hours online searching, all I found was an old, buggy version of the app for ebay, wich didn't work properly, the barcode scanner seems to have vanished into thin air.

Does anyone know/experience the same?

Any solutions?

Can someone maybe post the apk file for the newest apk file?

Please reply to this, thank you.

Btw. I'm running the modaco 3.0 rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dblanc:
I too am using MCR 3.0 and I'm experiencing the same problem: can't see all apps, for example barcode scanner...

Does anyone have any suggestion?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hawkn:
Now I've tried downgrading my phone to MCR 2.8 without any changes to the market problem.

I installed the rooted version of the latest official htc hero software, and guess what...no luck.

I've even changed the recovery image from cyanogens 1.4 + jf to the RA-hero-v1.5.2, then installed the different roms after wiping every time.

I'm starting to think the apps has been removed from market, but since I find them on the android market website (from my puter without the download opportunity) I'm just confused.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] xsirhc6x:
hm no idea sorry, but you could try market enabler, which changes the country the market thinks your in! maybe they stopped showing those apps to your country or something idk but id try it! (need root which im assuming you have:P)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hawkn:
Hmmm....

I think it's the numbnuts at google that's the problem.

I have two gmail adresses, when I use nr 1 everything works fine, but with the other one the market problem really annoys me.

And even better, the second mail adress is the one I'm using on both phones and EEE puter.

The first mail adress where market shows everything, was not intended for my phones.

Yesyes, sounds like a stupid problem, but still, open source is open source, and if google somewhat had blocked my "phone's email adress" then they should call it partially random open source!

DAMMIT this pisses me off, I've used two whole days reading online to fix this.

I hope that it is another problem and not the email adress that's somewhat blocked partially from the market app.

Does anyone know if the barcode scanner and pkt auctions ebay are protected apps ?

EDIT 1:

Now I've tried using my HTC Touch Pro running the Android port lying around in here and another place ;)

On that phone, using both my email adresses works, wich even the one that doesn't work on my hero works on the android port on the touch pro.

This is just something that frustrates me more and more, and I'm getting more and more confused now, this is REALLY weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hawkn:
Another thing is, I cannot find Market Enabler anywhere unless I wipe the phone and use another gmail adress.

I'm starting to suspect some kind of conspiracy here now !
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hawkn:
So far I've created myself a new gmail for phone use, that is... for my android :P

Does any1 know if the G. guys register the mail adress in a database of some kind together with the uniqe android ID from the phone ?

I'm just trying to think outside the box here.

Since the problem with android market solves when I reset the google.apps in the settings->applications menu I guess there is some apple-like non-open source similar going on here, much like apple store and so on.

If this is not the case, please enlighten me.

And more important, please help us all with a solution to the problem.

For now whenever I want to look at apps, I have to change the gmail adress, reboot the phone and then search.

I can change the adress without booting the phone, find the "missing" apps in market but NOT install them.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gm112:
As the question asks, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and I fail to flash my device.. I'm guessing it's because I'm on 64-bit Windows 7, as when I was running a 32-bit OS, it ran fine.. Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cairnz:
It's not the OS. I've flashed from several computers running 64-bit Win 7, both build 7000, 7100 and RTM. Most likely you haven't let it set up the proper drivers first - first time you flash you can get a failed because the OS hasn't finished installing the HTC USB Sync-something before the flash application times out.

Also as I'm typing this, the official updater is running updating to the newest norwegian ROM. This is done on a Delll XPS 1530mm running Win 7 Enterprise x64. It took a while before it installed the HTC USB Sync-drivers, but it didn't timeout.

Hope this helps you figure out what's wrong with your flashing routines!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mancsoulja:
i use window 7 ultimate x64 and have no problem flashing roms, make sure u have the HTC USB Sync Drivers Installed, Also the Nessessary Quallcomm ones, put your device into bootloader and connect it to your pc, it should then retreve the nessessary drivers from windows update :)

If you still cant flash a rom after that, rename the .NBH file to RAPHIMG.NBH copy it tho the root of your storage card, then hold vol down while pressing the reset button, then just follow the instructions to flash the rom from your sd card :p

Hey guys, i've tried a search but nothings come up so far as how i can get my contacts off the phone.

Heres the story so maybe someone out there can help me.

Last week i put my phone to charge and realised the screen had just gone black.

I could still press the buttons and knew it worked because it still vibrated.

Took the battery out and left it overnight, in the morning put it back in and tried turning it on. Still black screen, but the phone still vibrated when i pressed buttons.

Took it to a mobile phone repair place a few days ago and they said the motherboard was gone (so i need to take it back in later and get this done).

I asked for it back hoping to be able to access the contacts off the phone but when i tried i can only get to the files (pictures, notes and music) but not the actual contacts saved on my hd.

Heres what i'm hoping to do.

Somehow get to my contacts via my computer and copy them off the phone. Since the phones screen is black, i can't install anything that requires use of the phone itself.

I've got everything i need so far except for the contacts.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!
[Touch HD General] chandalf:
Black Screen

If the phone still seems to be working but with no screen, you could try something like MyMobiler (http://www.mymobiler.com) which allows you to operate the phone from your PC desktop. Outside chance but maybe worth a quick try?

If you can still turn phone on, why not use Microsoft Outlook and activesync and save all your contacts, appointments, calendar entried etc this way

Hi.

I do not know if you use or not Microsoft MyPhone.

Open \windows and copy the user.hv to your desktop. Then open the file up with ceregeditor and see if you can find the error (the user.hv in rom has all the stock, pre-flash settings). It's possible you messed up something loaded post-flash (like, with a cab). Got no help for you there.

[Hero CDMA General] red250:
I'm wondering if maybe my battery is jacked up or something, but I've only noticed this a couple times.

About a week ago, I plugged my phone in before going to bed, next morning I had a green light and battery widget said 100%. I unplugged the phone and the screen went back off. Maybe 5 minutes later, I picked the phone back up and woke it up and the widget said it was already at 90%. Went into settings and it also already showed a bar missing from the battery bar as well. My phone hovers between 12-15% awake, but even at 100% it shouldn't pull the battery that much in 5 minutes.

So when fresh 1 came out, I had been wanting to ruu back and start from scratch so I went ahead and did that. Seemed to fixed the battery issue, until tonight. I got bored and was changing stuff around. I turned the phone off to do a nandroid backup at 51% battery. Shut down, nandroid and reboot, and when it came back on, it said it was down to 28%. I know rebooting the phone didn't pull almost a quarter of the battery. I plugged it into the computer for maybe 5 minutes to adb the htclockscreen out, when I pulled the usb, it said it was already back to 51%. Rebooted phone and when it came back up it said it was 41%. Screen turned off, and when I turned it back on, it said 43% and now seems to be holding steady there.

Again my first thought was maybe the widget, but i've tried 2 different ones, batterylife and the htc one and they both show the same and the bar under settings appears to validate the same.

Any ideas?
