[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] venomhtchd2:
Gold Card Experience

Finally i did it, here's my personal experience on my "second attempt" on using goldcard technique, this is not a guide, its based on how i flash my Middle East device after i failed and understand how it works on my Leo, really its scary when you felt that there is something wrong with our Leo. I'm not trying to be smart here, i just appreciate the help of our family here in Artemis Thread that's why i post this experience that somehow, others may have an idea how they are going to flash their Branded or Devices came from region who do not support 3.14 ROM. Sir, please check if i really did it successfully because as of now i haven't experienced strange thing on my Leo but Fast and More Usable add on Leo. Thank you Sir Sternas for making it possible. Here it goes..

I Prepared:

My device: HTC HD2 Leo (T8585)

Middle East Device (which do not support Stock 3.14 ROMS)

Artemis v31 WWE / HSPL 2

Boot loader figures:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.66 HSPL XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

- 80% Battery status, removed my sim card

- separate microSD (2gb will be use as goldcard)

- also a backup copy of my 8gb microSD which I'm using for both winmo and android (just in case ;>)

- PSAS Software (downloaded through Sir Oliver Weidel's goldcard technique guide / install this in your pc)

- goldcard image (also downloaded from Sir Oliver Weidel's goldcard technique guide / using Windows 7 OS in my laptop and i checked its properties = WinRAR ZIP archive (.zip/no nid to extract)/renamed it to goldcard.img)

- HSPL_RUN.exe Software (also downloaded from XDA just Google search :D)

- RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe from first post ;)

- Extracted Artemis v44 WWE via 7 zip (i already put the SSPL_RUU.exe together the .nbh file of v44 for later use)

What i did was:

i. I inserted the 2gb microSD (newly Formatted in FAT32 format) to my Leo

2. I connected my Leo to my Laptop via Active Sync

3. I run PSAS as administrator, a window popped up and followed the guide of Sir oliver, i choose "Hardware Forensics" under it this tab is "WINCE SD Card Utils". I hit "Get Serial and Disk ID" it shows 429B00EBD49300804732305553445303 and 07 disk ID. then hit "Write Image" a file finder window popped up and browse for my goldcard.img matching 429B00EBD49300804732305553445303 CID from the kindness of Sir Oliver weidel, another window popped up saying that it was successfully done. Quit the PSAS then remove usb connection and turned off my phone.Followed Sir scv guide

4. Volume down and insert usb brought me to boot loader and the boot loader figures (i don't know every single details ;D)

5. Again boot loader figure that almost confused me:

usb

just continued running RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe, after success gave me

PB81100 HX-BC

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

serial

6. Hard Reset the phone (at this point i removed the goldcard and proceed flashing Artemis without microSD and SIM) then boot to Home Screen with my Leo Sync to my PC.

7. On my Home Screen, using my extracted Artemis folder with SSPL_RUN.exe inside together with the v44 .nbh file run as administrator, then hard reset, soft reset, insert my 8gb microSD then format it in my Leo.

Installed
