Ok, found the problem, I believe I might be updating the process for Win 7 users (and maybe vista users).

The problem is about Drivers.

There are two type of drivers:

1. ADB/Bootloader interfaces (usb_drivers we download from Android SDK). This are useful in the first part of the HOWTO since we need to run some ADB commands. This might be also useful during the rooting process

2. MyHTC drivers (both boot and standard). This are the basic HTC drivers for using with several software like HTC Sync AND for flashing phone.

How to know which driver is using at each time?

Under Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> We might find a driver called Android Phone.

1. With the phone in the Start menu into it we might see either:

a) ADB Interface

b) My HTC

2. If we go into the bootloader (rebooting device, volume down + power button) we might see

a) Bootloader

b) My HTC

If we need to FLASH, the we need in both parts My HTC

If we see anything else, we need to update the driver. Just by going into properties of the driver, Controller, Updating Controller -> Find Controller into the PC -> Select from the list of controllers of this PC -> Use Disk and we must look for the HTC Driver that is installed during the HTC Sync Installation process (Normally this is into Program Files-> HTC -> HTC Driver).

Finally we can update the driver by selecting the My HTC one from the list.

After like 3 hours going back and fourth to find the solution, this worked perfectly for me, and make me discover this issue that may help some people.

it worked!

when i was doing the goldcard i wasn't selecting "removable..." because i was conecting in debug mode and this mistake made my windows crash cause i was modifying the hard-disk...

Ps: should specify in the HOW TO...

[Click Android Development] MiSSigNNo:
You check this in Windows, Start-> Control Panel (change view to small icons)-> System -> Device Manager and then you look for section where you find your Android Phone
[Click Android Development] elban:
Doing it on linux

For linux, the only different thing is using the hex editor to paste the goldcard image on the sdcard. But it's very simple.

Just run:

dd if=goldcard.img of=/dev/sdd bs=512

you may need to change the sdd part (device name). To check the correct name, run:

fdisk -l

You may need to be root to run those two commands.
[Click Android Development] liqn7:
Thanks for the guide. It worked.

As a noobie it took me about 3 hours- hopefully these tips will help anyone else to do it quicker.

1) You HAVE to set up ADB correctly. I cannot emphasise this enough. The guide assumes you know how... Before using the adb commands, you need to make sure your device is recognised first with: Type "adb devices" into the command to see if your serial number is listed (this is all in the guide below).

More info here:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

Because I had mucked around with the device previously, I had to start afresh using the process outlined in Step 3 (Optional) and the USBdeview program.

2) When using the Hex editor, you need to take the microsd card out of the phone and put in in the reader, or else the program won't pick it up. This wasn't emphasised in the guide.

3) You need to install HTC sync bit for the last part in order to get the drivers for the ROM update to flash.

Hope this helps someone :)

OOoopppss ! I think I have found my mistake as in step 12, I picked LOGICAL DISK instead of Physical disk and (as clearly indicated) THIS MISTAKE MADE ME BIG PROBLEMS...

trying again... It works ! :D

However, after rebooting, the phone is still sim-locked :confused:

SIM network unlock PIN

To make an emergency call,

enter the emergency number

and tap Emergency call

What can I do now to remove simlock ?

My understanding is that this is not possible yet, is this correct ?

Thanks for your help :)

EDIT: mentioned issue related to SIM network unlock PIN
[Click Android Development] liqn7:
Rooting and flashing will not remove the sim lock. It will only remove the proprietary firmware.

You need to get the unlock code from your network provider, online via 3rd party (just google).

Otherwise you could use a physical sim card modifier like isim (check out on dealxtreme.com).

Is this an orange by any chance?

device not found & ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERRORs (solved)

Hello All,

Thank you very much for posting the guidelines for flashing, it worked like a charm.

Couple of tips that i found useful: (apologies if reposting these)

1). To get CID of SD card after formating the card, connect to PC via htc sync but not through disk drive.

This makes adb to access SD card cid.

Over comes the error no device detected

2). Again before starting HxD Hex connect phone SD card as disk drive not as HTC sync.

This makes the HxD acces the SD card as removable disk under Physical disks; so you can write goldcard image to the SD card parameters.

This over comes ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.

All the best

all tattoos can be rooted and flashed...

Second, will root/flash make my mobile faster? and will it free more ram?

WWE doesn't work on phones with same version number?

Hi all,

I have a somewhat pressing question that may affect data gathering in remote countries until we can get this figured out:

On a Tattoo dev phone that I've been using, I've successfully upgraded from 1.65 that came on the phone to 1.67 WWE and was able to select Portuguese - it worked beautifully. Therefore, we ordered a new batch of phones to flash to the WWE ROM. Trouble is, they come with 1.67 non-WWE.

I flashed a phone as per the guidelines, but when the phone rebooted, NONE of the WWE languages were pesent - just the standard English, Spanish, French, German, etc. European language packs.

I flashed again. And again. Each time, it completes successfully, but none of the times are the new WWE languages available. I tried multiple phones that all have 1.67.405.6 non-WWE, and none of them are able to update correctly to 1.67.405.6 WWE. I'm assuming that rather than doing a full flash, the phone is doing a restore instead because it thinks a full flash to be unnecessary across the same version number.

I've tried downgrading, but this doesn't work, despite generating the correct gold card - it just says that the bootloader version is too old. We *really* need to get this working, and very soon, as some of the phones are already in the field in Mozambique. Anyone have ideas? It'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I was able to get a Vodaphone ROM on there, and here the languages look different. However, when I flash BACK to the WWE ROM, it says "Please select language" *twice* and then only displays the 5 or 6 primary ones. Something's not working right in the WWE ROM...
[Click Android Development] Illium:
Many, many thanks!

MiSSigNNo,

I go through many, many PDAs & don't hang on to them for too long. I gave my Tattoo to my wife which I had sourced I believe from Asia Pacific somewhere.

When I received it it didn't have Android Market & was well & truly running an Asia Pacific ROM!

Obviously I tried some of the official RUUs as listed elsewhere here but none of them worked. I read your post several times but thought (each time) it looked too hard & too convoluted!

In frustration, today, I resigned myself to work through your post & finally ROOT my damned Tattoo.

Well I'm not exactly sure what I was doing for most of it & when I saved (from within Hexeditor) the gold.img to the SD card I couldn't see anything in it. Nevertheless I persevered & hey it worked!

So thank you very, very much, if there's a donate option let me know!

Regards, Fernando.

Hi all,

I got everything to work after more research, thanks for this amazing guide :)

I have tried a few custom ROMs etc. which all work fine.

However, it seems that Simlock is still not removed.

I have done a search and looked around a lot of threads and I just cannot find any other option apart from i-SIM or unlock codes. Is that truly all that can be done to unlock the thing from Orange properly?

BTW: If I try the Simlock option in HBoot, I get two red errors flashing up very quickly, followed by a few green and purple messages like posted in this thread before once I hit SimLock (image attached).

While I am a real fan of this "Let's not reply"-game, I would really like to know a definitive answer to unlocking the HTC Tattoo via flashing. It seems no-one actually knows whether it can be done or not?

Any of my research just brings up results indicating it is both possible and impossible. So I would like to know which one it is please.

I realise this question might have been asked a million times, but using the search function etc. does not help me for the reasons stated above.
[Click Android Development] TheSSJ:
Well dude, that wouldn't have happened if you have chosen the "All Tattoo Questions" Thread sticky :P

As to your question: It is possible to flash an unbranded HTC ROM to your Orange locked phone (via goldcard)...maybe then the SIM lock is broken, but I can recall that SIM lock cannot be removed just like this...just try to flash an unbranded ROM and look if you can use other SIM cards, otherwise you have to buy an unlock code...

Sorry for the bad news
[Click Android Development] mister_r:
Nah, tried that already, I managed to get an unbranded rom onto there and also a few different froyo ones etc.

This SIMlock seems to be rock solid.

Thanks very much for the answer, I am perfectly fine with bad news, it was getting no news at all that bothered me ;)

Hi,

Assuming that your tattoo is actually rooted, the easyway should be (IMHO) to install Rom Manager from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/RomManager.apk or from market, giving it root rigths and then using it to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery for Tatto (HTC Click), current version is 5.0.2.0 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
