I have what I assume is working goldcard. I have the sappimg.zip file on my sdcard and I boot the phone holding power and volume down. It does the check for the files and it detects the sappimg.zip and begins processing it. The blue bar appears in the corner and slowly fills up before taking me to the next screen where it says "Checking...[sappimg.zip] for a few moments before just leaving me on a screen that says <BACK> Fastboot Mode.

i don't get any question to press the action button to proceed and it just sits there at the boot screen. I will post a video on youtube in a few minutes.

I'm thinknig it is a bad download, if it recognizes it then you are good. Delete the original and re download it then try again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
already tried that
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aaron!:
Are you using this file as your sappimg.zip? The tutorial page links to the wrong one for the Fender/1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
No luck on that one either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gerr1985:
All the site did was do the tedious work for you. You can still use the program to change the code I think. I believe all that the site did was reverse all of the mac address.

*This is all from my memory of when I did it so take it with a grain of salt*

For example:

A0:03:48:52... (A0034852... = will be what shows up for you)

Now it reverses each pair soooo...

A0:03:48:52... becomes 0A:30:84:52... (or 0A308452)

In the tutorial it has you change the first 2 characters to 00's so the final result will be (00308452...) and that is exactly what the site did for you :)

Put the edited hex numbers here http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard to have the goldcard img emailed :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aaron!:
You may have an SD card that is not compatible with being a goldcard. Get your hands on a different MicroSD card, go through the process, and try again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
Done that one too.

Oh, and I have tried this on 2 different mt3g1.2s. Same results.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
its your goldcard.. its not done properly..i had this issue... the goldcard image emailed to me had to be unzipped.. and then use the unzipped image to make the goldcard... hope that helps...

i when thru 3 different sdcards before realizing what i was doing wrong..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
The image file that is emailed is not zipped, it is a .img file. What did you have to do to get it to work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Make sure you are clicking on physical disk in teh hex editor, that is the biggest mistake people make.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aaron!:
On that note, open the hex editor by right clicking and choosing "Run as an Administrator" or you won't even see the SD Card under physical disk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
yea i know but i remeber opening it with winace, search for it on goolge and install see if you can open it and see another image inside it..i know this was perventing me from making a goldcard correctly. i dont know if this wats wrong yours but dosent hurt to try..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tepic:
I didn't have to unzip anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JayGeee:
I keep getting the wrong id error. :/ Followed your instructions step by step multiple times. I wonder what Im doing wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
There seems to be a applicaion that does it for you on your computer, it says cab but it is a zip so extract it. There is a readme with directions, this is so easy a caveman can do it. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=328283&d=1274198254
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JayGeee:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
It wasn't meant to be an insult, a pun on the Geico commercial.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JayGeee:
No I know that. Lol I meant was that in reply to my inquire.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Ah okay was just making sure, and no was a general post to help out lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JayGeee:
Oh okay. Lol Sorry if I caused any confusion. Well I'm thinking of trying your method now. Even though it seems to be fairly the same as the others. I just can't seem to find what it is I am doing wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
It is not my method, jsut a post I saw and shared. It is a lot similar but it does all the work for you eliminating all need for adb and cuts out a lot of room for error from what I was seeing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JayGeee:
Oh okay well I already set up adb and created my goldcard but like I said same Id error when flashing Sappimg.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Did you use your phone to format the card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JayGeee:
the goldcard yes. as well as the regualr sd card.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
I got a new Kingston memory card and finally got this to work some what. I flashed the sappimg.zip file and all the phone does is hang at the htc magic screen. I was able to fastboot into the phone and load the other files but it keeps doing the same thing. I can't get past the boot screen and I cant load the recovery menu either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
As long as you have the correct recovery, radio and spl on... have you tried to boot into recovery? have you flashed a rom made for your phone (not all roms will work, but all NEW roms with Cyans newest kernel work)

If all else fails. Pull the battery and reboot. But again, have you booted into recovery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
the recovery menu doesn't load. When I hold down the power and home button it just hangs on the htc magic screen.

When I start the bootloader it tells me

Sapphire PVT 32a ship s-on g

Hboot -1.33.013

CPLD-13

Radio-2.22.23.02
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
Re: [THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!

Try reflashing recovery, that did it for me when I first rooted my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rage2wrath:
I have tried reflashing it multiple times from fastboot, same problem every time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:
same problem as a couple of you, flashed sappimg..

SD Checking...

Loading...[SAPPDIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[SAPPDIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[SAPPIMG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[SAPPIMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

then it flashed...did the unlockr instructions, but when i get to recovery home+power i cant move the track ball does nothing + it just hangs in the htc magic screen if i just let the phone load.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
sounds to me like you guys are loading the H recovery and not the G recovery. H recovery WILL NOT LOAD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:
So is the sappimg supposed to say that.... image fail?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
the SAPPIMG.imp/zip is what is needed to downgrade the phone so that you can flash a recovery. In that thread you linked to you need the G branded one and not the H like other tuts have said. The phone is branded HTC, but the board seems to be branded as google... its weird.

But no, you still need the godl card and correct 2010 SAPPIMG.img or .zip try both.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:

I used the g version last time, but it was 1.6.2, could this of ben the reason my track ball did nothing in recovery?

I tried downloading the sappimg file to my sd card and when I went into hboot mode it did the thing where it goes down the list and checks everything but when it got to the sappimg file it just stopped n everything disappeared. I tried renaming it to SAPPIMG.img and SAPPIMG.zip and the same thing happened both times. I also tried to get the sappimg file off 'The Unlockr's How To: Root The Mytouch 1.2 And Fender Mytouch'

But when I went into hboot mode with this 1 I got the error saying wrong model ID or something. Any help on what to do now would be greatly appreciated ><

Re: [THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!

If it is not loading the sappimg then I think your gold card doesn't work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resynx:
I mean I'm pretty sure I followed every single direction on the Gold Card tutorial and I've tried it multiple times. And at the end of the tutorial my Gold Card passed the test where I could access the gold card from my computer and everything. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong here..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:
Re: [THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!

You downloaded the one from on here?2010 sappimg.zip download it to your computer then put it on your sd card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resynx:
That's what I did, it just went down the list checking the files and when it got to the sappimg file the list just disappeared and nothing else happened. But when I use the Unlockr's sappimg file it'll get to the sappimg file at the bottom of the list and then say it's checking it, and then it'll give me the error message. I'm just really stumped right now..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Re: [THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!

Its your goldcard, simply put. Reformat it from the beginning and try again, if it still doesnt wok your card is incompatible to be a goldcard.

Ah, thanks, but I'm still so frustrated. I've tried this on a 4gb sandisk and then a 2gb kingston already. I've followed every single step of the Gold Card procedure multiple times already.. I guess there's not too much I can do now.

Edit: But I guess it doesn't hurt to try again.

I would if I could man but I don't think my dad'd be too happy about that lol. He doesn't even know I'm trying to root it now haha. But I just don't understand why it's not working though, I'm doing everything exactly as it says ><

Edit: If I just rename the sappimg file to SAPPIMG it does get to the part where it says it's checking my sappimg file but then I just get an error message.

Edit: I read earlier on in this thread that someone said that they had to unzip their Gold Card that was sent to them before the process would work. Hm.. maybe I'll try that tomorrow when I have time. Did you have to unzip your Gold Card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
The file sent to you for the goldcard will be goldcard.img.. if it comes as zip or rar, extract.

The file on the goldcard must be named SAPPimg.zip with nothing else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resynx:
Yeah the Gold Card's file is 'goldcard_img' but I just read that some guy said he had to extract it before it worked. And thanks, lemme try renaming the sappimg to that and try it again.

Edit: Renamed it to SAPPimg.zip and once it gets to the bottom of the list of checking all the files all the dialog just disappears. Then I tried just SAPPimg and it gets to the part where it says it's checking the 'SAPPIMG.zip' and then I get the wrong model id error T.T
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:
Re: [THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!

U get the gold card in the email and u have to unzip it...then hex editor....you wont actually see anything on your sdcard about gold card.
[General Questions and Answers] brandonjasontravis:
Hey everyone. I am on my fourth Android Device now and want to start developing (cooking) custom ROMS. I have a pretty solid understanding of Linux fundamentals and have a programming background, but no java. I know this isn't a huge roadblock, as I am not looking to develop apps right now, but I figured I would mention it.

My current development environment:

- Mac OS 10.6 (Primary)

And any number of the following virtual Machines

- Windows 7 32 bit

- Windows XP Professional

- Fedora 12

- Kubuntu 9.1

- openSuSE 11.2

- Ubuntu 9.1

I am trying to develop for the Motorola Droid. Many of the Droid Roms are currently being delivered as Nandroid backups, with the exception of a few coming through as update.zip or .rom.tgz.

Here is where I need some help. I realize that update.zips have to be signed. I have seen a lot of methods on signing update.zips /apks on this forum, and have tried a ton (AndroSign, testsign, and several others) and any time I get a signed update.zip, the installation halts on my device. Is the signing method device specific??

To create an update.zip or a .rom.tgz, do you need to have boot.img, recovery.img, data.tar, META-INF and system.tar? or can you create any combination of them?

Finally, what source file should I be using? One thread I saw recommended creating a nandroid backup of a clean 2.0.1 install + su + busybox and pulling apart system.tar. To my knowledge, there is no "factory recovery rom" for the droid like the RUU for some HTC devices. I pulled /system from a fresh backup and tried to pack THAT into an update.zip and rom.tgz and could not succeed either time. update.zip wouldnt install and rom.tgz installed but got stuck at boot loader.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have scoured google, xda, modaco, alldroid, etc. and havent found the right answers, so now I am reaching out here.

Is there anyway to make better use of the real estate available on the homescreens? The current setup with so much space between icons/widgest seems like a colossal waste of the real estate the higher res N1 screen offers.

IMO, it also detracts from the aesthetic appearance of the homescreens. Especially coming from an iPhone.

I'm hoping this is a legacy issue, due to previous phones having lower res screens and google wil fix this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] firehawkws7:
So you want them closer together so you can't see your desktop? It's not a "legacy problem", that's how it has always been. There may be a home replacement that will do what you want though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
I think a major effect that seperates the iPhone and android ui is android's spacious desktop. I may be misunderstanding you but it sounds like you're asking why the android desktop isn't more like iphone's cookie cutter application squares, which are somewhat claustrophobic in my humble and often stupid opinion. I personally like the desktop feel of android. Feels like I've got a computer in my pocket...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] slimm13:
+1 Agreed.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] galaxys:
The space between icons is what expresses the live wallpaper & impresses me & others ...awesome looking!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mhaedo:
+2 Agreed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Henchman:
I think they could have a fifth row
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
Awesome widget. Paid for it the second I found out about it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Been using it a while on one screen you can potentially have 60 apps or so!!!

Mwhahahahahha.........
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Because if you add more rows, and then rotate the phone, you will not have enough room without rearranging your home screens.

4 rows in landscape dictates the 4 rows in portrait mode.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
But at the time of the phones launch and still, the home screens are portrait only unless you install the hacked mod.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Other android devices (droid/cliq/etc) support landscape views.

They're not doing seperate os's for seperate devices.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5to1:
Thankyou for that, solves my problem for now :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5to1:
The aesthetic bit was just a secondary comment. I may well get used to liking the android layout as much, it may just be that i'm used to seeing the iPhone desgin/layout.

However, the bigger point for me was that I am unable to have anymore icons, despite the higher res screen. Which is particularly annoying when you can see all that space going to waste. It definately looks like another row would fit cofortably.

Only 5 home screens and limited folder functionality, make the problem worse for me.

Which brings me onto my second question, is there a simple app to skin folders and allow you arrange icons as you wish? If this were possible easily, I wouldn't need more homescreens. I don't want to use a new theme as I like the current one for now and would like to use it for a bit while I get used to the phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Does the widget work with Bettercut? Am I able to customize the icons?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5to1:
Ok, so the height and number of rows is fixed so that they can be mapped without any manipulation to landscape mode. Which from rough measurement appears to be the case.

I guess the issue is not so much with icons/shortcuts which can be easily rearranged as they are 1 x 1 units. But moreso with widgets which may not be rearrangeable with a simple rotation. I.E. You couldn't fit five 4 x 4 widgets in landscape without altering the widgets dimensions.

Guess the simplest ways around it would be to prevent rotation if you select more then the standard 4 rows. Or enable scrolling of the home screen in Landscape.

Anyway, thanks for enlightening me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tamarian:
Try Apps Organizer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nonmindo:
so in another thread (which was closed and pointed here) similar to this, there was the following instructions

Edit /system/build.prop and change this line:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Try using 160 instead of 240. I don't think it allows you to fit more on the screen, but definitely changes the effective resolution.

which I used to increase the resolution of the system, it is BEAUTIFUL...but it doesnt map to well with the nexus tray, wondering is someone could point in me the right direction to get the tray to look better, maybe another value in build.prob that needs changing or....?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] boomer30:
I would like to see a 5th row, is there an app for that ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nonmindo:
s0 after running it for about an hour im reverting to the stock 240.....sadness cause it was beautiful otherwise....the problem is about half of the apps i have wouldnt fit to screen, it was wicked nice for maps and dolphin, but other things the app would be like 1/4 the screen size...too bad we'll prolly never see this implemented natively
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stewart1988:
It scales the whole OS and not just the launcher? Might have to give it a try :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5to1:
Thanks, will give it a go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5to1:
Well Appz Manager has addressed one of the major issues I had. I've now got my home screens organized, so my main apps/games/widgets are only a slide and tap away. And the rest are easily accesible via the appz manager icons (which involves just one extra tap).

Infact I now have one entire home screen free, which I'll dump new apps/games on, until I have time to evaluate if the are worth keeping.

Thanks again to Tamarian.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5to1:
Since I'm on a roll with this thread maybe someone can suggest a way of using the headset to originate a call.

It appears the headset can only be used to answer calls. But since the phone is capable of voice dialing, I would have hoped you could trigger this via the headset.

It comes in handy when your driving, or when you can't/dont want to take the phone out and dial.

Thanks again for all the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cdstewart:
Hello all,

As many of you know Rogers issued an update for 911 issues and sense ui just recently, unfortunately as I attempted the update via SD card method, the first update seemed to have gone well but after once it wanted to reboot it keeps on splashing the ROGERS over and over.

I'm thinking this is most likely because I am rooted and the process just didn't agree.

I am currently running amon ra's 1.2.3 rec. img

with amon ra's 1.6 rom

32A motherboard

BTW I still get to boot when I hold end+vol down

and when I hold end+home I get amon ra's screen but is quickly taken away after a few seconds.

Any help would be much appreciated.
