worked fine for me but now,

I need serious help, I got the phone yesterday I didn't know it was a 1024leo so i used goldcard method and now i am stuck with official rom version 3.14 and spl 3.03 . Is there a way to downgrade or get back to an official tmous rom? I've tried with older roms like 2.10 for tmous but stuck at 0%.

please help me

ps. phone stucks at windows screen but i can enter bootloader
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
You should be able to download the correct ROM and install it directly, even w/o Goldcard.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamas_n:
I can't get an activesync sinse i can't get to windows I did try hard reset still can't get to windows. I try through bootloader put the stock rom I downloaded from tmobile took ruu_signed.nbh after renaming it to leoimg.nbh and copied in the root of a fat32 formated sd (2gb) then enter bootloader and stuck on grey screen with loading..., also tried from bootloader to sync and stuck on htc screen 0% any other way am out of options

its strange that i can use the bootloader method with leoimg.nbh with hd2 stock roms and can't use it with tmous stock roms stucks at loading
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
You don't really need ActiveSync. What happens if you enter into the four color bootloader (without goldacard), and then you connect to usb? Then bootloader should switch from serial to usb. With that you could start the normal TMOUS update on your windows PC just as if you had Active Sync running.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MagicMatra:
Thanks a lot for your nice tuto and Goldcard.

I had some problems with the Artemis flash (crashed at 13%, had to reflash Stock ROM), lost my nerves in the process.

....But finally succeeded after 2 hours of labor. I'm confident i'll appreciate it much more than this **** orange rom.

:D:D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] basi:
Hi there,

one question: I have a branded Vodafone device. What about the remaining programm memory if I would now flash the newest stock HTC ROM 3.14 ? I tried this in the past to flash this 3.14 ROM with HSPL 1.66 but after that I had only around 50MB memory left for programms. That's a known bug but will it be "solved" lets say with the goldcard method?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
Yes, as this is another problem. HSLP runs on top of 3.14 and does not work well together. You will have a number of problems as other threads show. If you install 3.14 with a Goldcard, it will remove HSPL automatically. You will have >140MB RAM left.

(A goldcard installation is exactly like a StockROM Installation. The goldcard only bypasses the check for a branded serial number, after the installation, there are no additional or "hacked" components on your phone.)

Request

Hi pcwe,

Could you generate for me the goldcard image ?

My CID : 9E000000400000000000020002000000

Thx in advance :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] user htc hd:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Manhack:
Hello.

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, pcwe. I have just one question.

Is it at all possible to create an SDHC goldcard? I know it says in the prerequisites that a regular microSD card under 4 Gb should be used, but I only have a 16 Gb SDHC which didn't work so far (it only shows the regular bootloader screen).

So, is there any sense in trying to reformat the card with different parameters (like FAT32 cluster size), or the only option is to buy a small microSD?

I'm curious because two of my friends want to do the same and none of us has a card less than 8 Gb. :D In any case, thanks for your time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pegaso210:
THANK YOU pcwe !!!!!!!!!!!

The only way to make a gold card for Leo whitout spend €30.

Sorry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rromcic:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ftosam:
Hi all, i have tried using goldcard so i can flash an english ROM for my HD2 as the only official ROM that will work is from Taiwan :(

When we loaded the sd card into the phone it quickly flashed to a screen saying loading and then it went back into boot loader and just stayed there...help please :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ftosam:
Ended up getting the goldcard to work (Used a different SD Card)....

However it STILL comes up with the same error. (If I try flashing wwe Asia from the sd card, it says " Not Allowed")

We have previously used all sorts or ROMs on this phone... but the same ROMs now seem to be giving this Vendor Error... It just doesnt make sense...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ftosam:
Hi,

So if i have a stock Taiwan ROM not in english and i wish to flash to wwe artimis ROM, after i have completed the goldcard system using the taiwan ruu_signed (changed to LEOIMG) can i just apply the artimis ROM?

Please help have been having trouble with this for the last 2 days as all i want is an english phone not in tawian?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
Sorry guys, I was away since Friday (familiy emergency).

Try to catch up now with posts and PMs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
After you have successfully installed a HTC 3.14 Stock ROM, not matter what language, you can install any language version of Artemis V4x.

As for your previous problems, I assume you still have a problem with your Goldcard if you're not allowed to install any HTC Rom. Make sure your card is FAT32 formatted, has no name, is no HCSD and your CID matches (Drive ID 7). If you want to give this approach another try, just check the above points and PM me your CID. I will generate a Goldcard for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
Sorry, I was away for some days. HCSD may work but often cause problems. Maybe it depends on the brand. So the only way is by trying out. Experience has shown that it causes less problems if you format the card on a Windows PC and leave it without name.

I hope it worked with your Goldcard, otherwise let me know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
You might have to check your SD Card. Run Scandisk / Checkdisk. Reformat you card in a Windows PC, make sure it has no name and then reread your CID for Drive ID 7 (it might have changed now). With the new CID, ask for a Goldcard.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajutd:
pcwe you are a star sir. It didn't work first time so I re did all the steps carefully again and it worked!

I got a failed message at one point but it rebooted and flashed fully..

Thank you for your time.. Will reward in due course :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corleone13000:
Hi all,

I tried this, but the psas software does not display the correct SD size when using the drop-down menu of the "SD Card Serial" field. Indeed, the 3 different sizes are 3487MB, 387 and 16MB (or something like that). However, my card is a 8GB SDHS.

I read that this kind of SD (more than 4GB and HS) may cause some troubles, do you think that is precisely the kind of issues I'm encountering ?

Do you think that despite the size error into psas I can attempt to "build" the goldcard without any danger ? I mean, at the very worst, I will get an error message when I "flash" the goldcard image ?

Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Manhack:
corleone13000,

you might want to read the above posts. pcwe has answered your question already.

I believe it is normal if the size is shown incorrectly, as the utility isn't supposed to work with microSDHC. It might, and it did in my case (with a 4 Gb microSDHC card). AFAIK, you don't risk anything if you try to create a goldcard like this. The worst that can happen is, you won't be able to flash from it (it will only enter bootloader and stay there doing nothing).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcwe:
Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad it worked.

RAM size is not influenced by Goldcard. There are several separate threads on how to apply RAM tricks. It also depends on your OS version (StockROM or cooked ROM). The experts out there do not seem to agree whether it's a trick, possible or impossible.

Hello!

Can you help me out Guys?

I've got a goldcard image, by samsamuel (ty to him).

(formated my sd card by hd2 Tools\Format SD card, at the 2nd try i formated via windows7 FAT)

Well, i've connected my hd2 via winmobiledevicecenter.

Ran PSAS-> hardware forensincs wince Sd card utils-> get serial and id. Choosed the 2~gb one, clicked on the "Write image file", choosed my same numbered goldcardimg file, and its says its DONE.

extracted 3.14 WWE official rom, got the RUU_signed.nbh. Copied that file to my SD card, which it should be a goldcard (theres no file, only the ruu_signed.nbh).. Renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh. Turned off the HD2, then turned on, with pressing volume button down.

A grey screen appearing for like 1 sec, then it disappears, and i've got the red-blue-screen now.. saying 1.66 SPL and others.

What's the problem? What did i always **** up? HELP ME pls :(

Im DONE!!! It worked (File System must be FAT32 and allocation unit size 4096 Bytes) that was the problem i had 16k unit allocation) formated in windows and it worked, i have 3.14 with 3.03spl now ty

Bear in mind that it doesn't actually replace your lockscreen. It just gets in the lockscreens' way. It's very clever, and worth a look into. Just bear in mind that it doesn't always work

I just noticed yesterday that T-mobile has a 4G network in my area and I was wondering if there was a way to force roam 4G on tmobiles network? So that I could pick up 4G.

If its possible how?

Oh and sprint needs to hurry up and put 4g everywhere
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abiezer:
You said it yourself. T-Mobile is HSPA+, Sprint 4G is WiMax. So, no.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Naa dude. HSPA+ is not compatible with cdma(sprint). Matter of fact t-mobile is using 4G now because its "trendy" and everybody else is using it. Their network is closer to 3G in infrastructure. But thats up for debate.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stalte:
That sucks like hell. There's 4G here I just can't have it. AHHHHHHH!!!

Well if its like 3G I guess I'm not missing much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
You are on the money. HSPA+ is no more than an upgrade to existing 3G technology. If I remember right, it only has a theoretical max of 54 Mbps down. It is not, nor will it ever be, 4G.

Granted, the current 802.16e standard of WiMax is not 4G either...just waiting for that 802.16m standard to be finalized =). Which once that is complete, infrastructure can be updated and we should be able to utilize it with a simple firmware update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
No its way faster than your normal 3G. Faster than WIMAX too. Its nothing to pull down 7 or 8 Mb.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overthinkingme:
I bet it's better on battery than wimax is on ours.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
It uses the same radio for voice. The EVO has a separate 4G radio thats has to be activated and scan then connect. So 2 radios running at the same time would use more battery than 1 GSM radio running. Also CDMA has a tendency to use more battery when searching for signal in low signal areas.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitch Matrixx:
Having installed T-mobiles 3g upgrade here in Chicago market back in 2008, I can say definitively that HSPA is just a radio cabinet addition to the existing cellular framework. Depending on the layout of the tower/site, "Flex radios" handle the data on 1, or sometimes more antennae, while the voice travels over GSM through remaining antennae. Very similar to ATT infrastructure, but tiny radios handling big bandwidth.

Having said all that, 4G is a silly buzzword that Sprint started, and T-mobile is now exploiting.

In a way, Sprint is just using extra radios on top of their existing 3G cellular, and just integrating the enhanced data speeds of Clearwire's network into their own.

T-mobile's speeds are indeed fast both HSPA and HSPA+, but to call them 4g may be overstating it, as it is just an upgrade to their existing technology, and not a new technology.

As another poster stated, nobody officially has 4g yet, not even Sprint, and until the 802.16 commission finalizes and LTE is launched we still won't.

To re-emphasize to the OP, not a chance, and don't believe the hype.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
I can see sprint(or clear) and T-mobile going to bed for some real 4G'ness.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitch Matrixx:
Yeah, I heard a rumor that Sprint may eventually adopt LTE.... It makes sense.

Wimax will make a great backhaul, and could stay in place, not to mention supporting cities and rural areas. But LTE will be the big daddy, and similar to WiMax, works on it's own and should be seamlessly integrated on top of cellular.

I'm not sure but I think it can work with CDMA or GSM, hooray for global WiFi!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
I wouldn't count on LTE on Sprint just yet. Hesse denounced it last week; however, Sprint, Clearwire, Google, Time-Warner, and a couple others purchased Spectrum not only in the 2.5 GHz, but the 2.3 GHz band also. So the bandwidth is there and, in the past, Hesse has been quoted saying they can easily switch to LTE if need be.

Edit: http://gigaom.com/2010/10/29/sprint-ceo-dan-hesse-on-clearwire-lte-wimax/
