The new SPL is placed on the goldcard, then you do volume down + power in order to Hboot, doing so will cause it to update the SPL package. You don't flash an SPL with fastboot command .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
yes but i can't make the goldcard for flashing my SPL because i need to make adb commands so what can i do ? ..

I'm sorry i really don't understand :$

It mean that my magic is dead ? ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
How did you write your fastboot info if you cant access fastboot mode? I cant believe that someone could memorize every detail, including the exact list of options.

Its just that that SPL is a perfected one...you could try re-flashing it by using a goldcard via fastboot. Or try running RUU.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] igord:
As long as you can enter fastboot mode, its not bricked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
i have acces to my fastboot mode

But i have probleme with creating the goldcard to flash the SPL.

In the step to create goldcard i need tu use ADb commands to get my CID but i can't use them.

So how could i get my CID ?

And Kbeezie Told me that it's because it's in recovery that we can use those commands.

So how can i make the goldcard ?

That what i don't understand :$

Thanks for the help everyone :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
he had wrote somewhere the cid so he gave me =D

cid 035344535530384780a05ccf0e009592

reverse : 9295000ecf5ca0804738305553445303

so :

To get the img

0095000ecf5ca0804738305553445303

Gonna try :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
PS: You have to make the gold card BEFORE you did anything, otherwise you run into the same problem you're having now, inaccessible to the tools needed.

Now that you got the CID and such, you need to get the gold card image, and use a hex editor to put it physically onto the SD card (I'm assuming you have a mini-SD Capable reader)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
I have

And i'm actually trying to make the gold card

:D

i have the goldcard.img

Edit :

it seem that i have a goldcard ..

let's try
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
Another probleme

after made the Gold card and putting file.

I start the phone with volume down + power and i arrive to the Hboot

I can only choose between :

Back Fastboot mode

Send Simlock

When i press Simlock

They say:

"Sd init fail !!!

Reboot device ?

SEND reset device"

The gold card isn't been build proprely ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Not all SD cards are compatible with being gold cards (and the CID is unique to each card) , its not unheard of to have to try making a gold card out of a few miniSD before coming accross one that works.

Also what does Simlock have to do with an SD card, they're two different hardware.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
Hi

here are some news.

My friend said me that the card reader of the magic is dead.

the next day after he bricked his phone fast boot or hboot didn't reconize the sd.

So it's dead i think

is there any test to do with command prompt to see if it's really dead or not ?

I have a script that unloads Sense before runing iGO8 so that the TTS works. I run it from a shortcut.

Is there a way of changing the icon on the shortcut to show the iGO8 icon instead of the script icon?
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?

I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...

One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

here is the link:

It is an incase brand case...

Any suggestions/ advice about any of this ? Thank you very much, in advance.

[HD2 Accessories] aussiebum:

I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.
[HD2 Accessories] methodz:
Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2 :(
[HD2 Accessories] DigiFred:
I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.

This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.

[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.

I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours. :D
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
I actually ordered one like that...

but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
Okay maybe two then :p :)

But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...

There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

You guys may want to check the HTC HD2 Armor Case by BoxWave - The Metal Case sells @ Amazon.com for $27.95 (US DLS) I just bought 2 one for my wife & me. My thing is; you have a pretty nice and expensive phone, you better protect it good!!!
[HD2 Accessories] nacienleongto:
Armor Case by BoxWave it sells on amazon.com for $27.95 US dls. Really nice!!!! I just bought 2!!:D
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
The Boxwave might be a nice case but I like the thinnest case possible but yet offers some protection against knocks and scratches. The phone to me is already at the max size I'm willing to carry around. Metal cases don't do it for me because they just add too much bulk. I'm sure many will like it though.

So it's not just about the quality... BTW there is nothing wrong with gel type cases they are good quality and offer good "bounce" protection. :D
[HD2 Accessories] philosophy72:
I bought a case that was at Tmob store($20) which is similar to the iphone case erebusting posted on the first post. It is made by body glove and it is awesome. Crystal clear thin case with kickstand. Photos taken with another HD2

T-Mobile Sidekick Case for HD2

I needed a case that clips on my belt; the sidekick case fits well ($17 at the T-Mobile store); you can't snap both snaps when charging it as the USB cable doesn't allow it to totally fit in the case (while charging). I wish the HD2 had a lanyard, as I could see dropping it when pulling it out of the case.
[HD2 Accessories] methodz:
to each their own. i'm still waiting for the barely there case for the tmo us phone. i hear they are a tight fit but i think i will just sand some of it off.
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
thanks for sharing that and especially the pictures!!...

I wonder how it compares to the barely there case?

also - has anyone used the invisible shield/armor shield (or whatever you call it..there are several variants).... ? I wonder how much protection it provides and etc...
[HD2 Accessories] guardm:
Keep in mind, if you use the US model HD2, the standard snap on cover may not work as the size is albeit slightly different. This applies to clear screen protectors and self adhesive "armor" sheets. You must specifically ask if these items fit your US version/euro version HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
thanks guardm I did not know that, that is weird? ...I hope the case I ordered fits...I wonder why they are different sizes??...
[HD2 Accessories] guardm:

Get a Capdase Alumor

http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-htc-hd2.html

I have it, it's slim, scratch resistant.

Dropped my phone a couple of times on the tarmac road, no issues.

Unlike the boxwave one, this is actually very slim. It's held together by rubber, so there's no silly hinges etc. The black one actuall looks like there's nothing there.

They throw in a screen protector too, but.. I'll stick to the one I've tested..

Hi guys,

I need to buy 2 cases for my wife and i.

Here is what its been narrowed down to.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Clear-Rubber-Gel-Skin-Case-for-HTC-Touch-HD2-Leo-PVC-W_W0QQitemZ400112905761

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/4X-FLEXISHIELD-GEL-CASE-FOR-HTC-HD2-HD-2-T8585-LEO_W0QQitemZ290413161356

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-x-Silicone-Gel-Soft-Case-Cover-for-HTC-HD2-T8585-LEO_W0QQitemZ350334852729

After reading these posts, i understand that the silicone ones will attract dust and lint.

The Flexishiled seem great value, and look better than the Silicone Soft Gel, but overall the Rubber Gel Skin Case looks to me to most robust.

What are your thoughts?

Im also after a horizontal pouch, any recommendations apart from this one?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-x-Silicone-...mZ350334852729

are simliar to one of the cases I have, I reallllly like it! my favorite case ever so far... but the only problem is that it does not properly fit my usa hd2, so I am hoping to see one which fits my particular phone! .... it is smooth and pretty rigid -not rubbery like the one which comes with my phone... I like it because it is smooth and slides in and out my pocket well but still has a little grip like for when I put it on my center console in my car it will not slide around, also it looks nice (in my opinion)...

now as for the leather cases -they are not my style of case, but seem fine to me if you like those styles ....idk what else to say about those sorry not my department so to speak...haha
[HD2 Accessories] sgalbincea:
Have they confirmed or announced a release date for one that fits the US T-Mobile version of this?
[HD2 Accessories] alexnvidia:
will this case scratch corners or edges and sides of the HD2 like the casemate barely there does? according to the specs, it is made of alluminum+rubber. can u describe a little bit more in detail which part is rubber and which is aluminum? i dont want my HD2 to get scratched by using this case. thanks

hxxp://66.117.7.123/images/P1070161.jpg

As you can see from the above pictures, I believe you would never hurt your HD2 with this case, thanks to the rubber which fully covered the inner surface with added protection to the surrounded sides. Which means your HD2 never touches the metal. Nice! :D

Replace the "xx" with "tt"
[HD2 Accessories] alexnvidia:
thanks for the pics! looks like the rubber is glued to the aluminum back plate. looks great. a few more questions need asking. is the rubber hard or soft type of material, and will the case scratch your HD2 from constantly removing the device and putting it back in? casemate barely there tends to scratch the corner parts of HD2 even though it is made with plastic type material, but i believe it's hard plastic.
[HD2 Accessories] adidaz:
No worries! It's soft, actually it is silicon.

BTW, I have found another topic that the US version of HD2 fits this case with just a small pressure to put it on: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5995699

And you may buy one at mobimega.com (I got mine there) as they have new stock now!
[HD2 Accessories] Susasama:
Couple questions, that Capdase case, that's metal exterior, "soft" interior, right? i want something thats "slick" for an exterior, the gel matierals are a pain to slide out of my pocket and add to much girth. I'm also considering getting that body glove case, if someone could give a -small- review of it, things like, how is it to put in and out of pocket, remove case and so forth. One last question, can anyone point me in a direction of a mirror reflect screen protector? Like the ones that look like a mirror when the screen is off. Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] adidaz:
No idea for your first concern. But I could get you the mirror screen protector over there:

http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-mira-screen-protector-mirror.html
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
I would check out ebay for the mirror screen protector... usually its about 1-2 $ US or so....
[HD2 Accessories] ce_rob:
agreed! i have the same case as well as zagg's invisible shield (screen only) and am extremely happy!
[HD2 Accessories] Susasama:
I was never fond of Zagg's yeah they are the best on the market, but i guess i have sweaty fingers? or non-dry fingers, cause my finger "stuck" too much to it, it was too grip-y for me. I probably will buy a mirror protector somewhere else, i would like to find one like:

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=40783

because it even goes under the buttons and is truly a full-screen cover, all the others either stop or don't go underneath and don't look as cool.

My hesitation with that one is those two cut outs for the ambient light sensor and the other sensor near the ear piece. In the picture, they are opposite the TMOUS HD2 and I don't know if it's as simple as a flip around, or if one side has to be face down or whatever.
[HD2 Accessories] guardm:
I had the mirror shield and only kept it a few days. It made the screen very difficult to see in bright light and diffused almost all displayed items. I bought two and still have one brand new. If anyone wants it, make me an offer.
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
It seems as though it would make your battery drain quicker because you would have to turn up your screen brightness....I had a few on my iPhone and I really like the look it gave it, but I just hate how it reflects so much light in my eyes and also it is hard to see the screen sometimes as well as I had to have the brightness turned up higher than usual (which as I said, drains your battery quicker)...
[HD2 Accessories] Susasama:
Hmmm very solid points, i guess functionality > aesthetics is the way it should go, i might look into the Zagg again, i just remember having it on my G1, and it was awful, least for me. Like stated, my fingers had too much grip, and me being a heavy Swype user, i can already see the frustration.

Thing that sucks is, i wanna buy one, and fast. I've been looking at buying cases and screen protectors for like a week now, wanting to get the right one, and of course the day before i go buy one, i drop my phone for the first time, corner first =\. Any other good brands other than Zagg?

Edit: OH, before i forget the case i went out and bought today was the Body Glove from the T-mo store. And man, did i have it all wrong, it's a -very- nice case, looks good on the phone, and the eyes. the rubber on it, isn't like thick rubber, just a thin layer, just enough for you get some grip. Like people have stated, the kickstand is really flimsy, but so far so good. It's definitely a solid built case, fits like a....wait for it...... glove. overall thickness, maybe adds 2-3mm total. I'll try to get some good pics of it.
[HD2 Accessories] erebusting:
Please do get those pictures! ... and as for the zag protector, theres always just those regular screen protectors off of ebay...(if you havent noticed- I use ebay alot, sorry if that is not peoples preference...things just seem to be priced very good as well as the sellers are very helpful with any issues)....

they are like 1.00 us and have always worked fine for me....

[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
How sticky are those silicone edges on Capdase case ?
[HD2 Accessories] jamieeeee:
a bit sticky, there are some hairs that stay on it but its not like that when you pull ur hd2 out of ur pants you really have to pull hard ;)
[HD2 Accessories] DavidC1980:
What do you mean by sticky? The case itself is really nicely constructed. The back plate is aluminium and the sides, as you say, are nice flexibly silicon.

If by 'sticky' you want to know how well it grips the phone - perfectly.

But the outside isn't too sticky to turn your jeans pocket inside-out every time you take the phone out. It really is just about perfect.

It does also have rubber around the camera lense, so that sharp edge around the lense is hidden and won't scratch surfaces when you put the phone down.

I'll post some photos when I get home to show
[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
Here is what I'm looking for

I have T-Mobile HD2 (US) and currently using this case with clip PDAir/Monaco case which fits perfectly and overall is good.

But ... I also want to double protection with some kind of plastic hard shell. I will be using hard shell TOGETHER with PDAir case (this case has stretchable sides). I used same kind of setup for HTC HD.

Now ... ideally this plastic case would be Capdase Alumor HD2

but unfortunately because of size difference it does not fit perfectly on T-Mobile's version on HD2 (1.5mm taller) and when I emailed Capdase they told me that there are NO plans to make version for T-Mobile HD2 :(

So I'm stuck with eBay and such :) What I need from this case is preferably protection of corners, no bulk and .... case should not be GRIPPY !!! I mean, no unti-slip coating. The reason ... silicone and such are grippy and give trouble when inserting/removing it from PDAir case. I dont want that ! I want it glide :) Or at least similar to back cover of HD2 itself.

So those resin/selicone/etc cases on eBay - they are out.

Having said that ... any advice ?
[HD2 Accessories] Mobile Nut:
US HD 2

I also have the US HD2 and am looking for a case like the Capdase Alumor or the Barely-There Case-Mate. I contacted Capdase about a US version of their case and they did not bother to answer me; Case-Mate said they were not planning anything for the US HD2. I can't understand why these manufacturers are not making cases for the US market, especially in view of the fact that the HD2 has been so popular. So, I would also welcome any advice about cases similar to the Capdase or Case-Mate.

So i dont have the same issues cases fortunately.
[HD2 Accessories] ojmalik:
Has anyone with a capdase alumor case noticed any difference in reception? I figure with the back completely covered by aluminum, reception would go down. I noticed the PDAir aluminum case has slots cut where the antenna would be near the bottom of the back.
