The goldcard doesn't CID unlock your device, the phone will simply skip the device check when flashing the ROM stored on the SD card. All this allows you to do is to flash any compatible ROM that can be run on your device hardware that you cannot flash over USB due to the device check.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] tatarezende:
Same problem here... I tried a lot of home made cables using power on computer and data between two usb ports. Is there any schema or dummy hints for "how can i make a -DeLOCK (65306) - USB data- & powercable" ???

The goldcard is ok... But the problem is the cable! No one here has this kind of cable :-(

help!!!
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
The red plug goes into your powered on computer or the HTC power adapter. The blue male plug goes into your phone (using an USB2.0 OTG adapter, or the HTC charging cable with a linear female-to-female adapter)

Your SD card reader goes into the blue female plug with the black end.

Using an USB2.0 OTG adapter definitely works, some female-to-female adapters may cause problems, because they are cross-over adapters intended for cable extension purposes. See the product decription.

ohhh...thanx
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ST13Hogan:
So after flashing a ROM with the goldcard method i can flash the official HTC ROMs without getting a "Invalid Vendor ID"-Error on RUU? (I get this error if i want to flash a offcicial HTC ROM on my unbranded O2_DE HD7 - which was formerly branded).

Does anyone from Germany did this try out? And if so... is everything (especially the keyboard with the € sing) ok?

Thanks!
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
No, you can't. The goldcard method will only circumvent the vendor ID check (and also the device ID check).

The device will work just fine with any other compatible ROM (any HD7 ROM).

You can write the currency symbol characters for USD, cent, GBP, EUR and JPY by pressing and holding the character with the default currency symbol on the first character page after hitting the [123] on the touch keyboard.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ST13Hogan:
So after flashing via goldcard to an HTC Europe Rom, it should be possible to use the HTC Europe ROMs provided by ansar, rigth? ( i can't use that one atm, RUU is giving me an error - see my posts in this thread at page 6)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Well, you will be able to flash any ROM file that you put on your SD card.

Download the ROM file RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE, extract it with an archiving program like WinRAR or 7-zip, now look for a file called RUU_signed.nbh, rename it to SCHUIMG.NBH and put it on your SD card with the goldcard key MBR. Then flash it to your device.

This ROM includes all available languages and keyboard layouts and the No Donuts (March 2011) update.

Ansar's ROMs are modified ROMs you can flash without the goldcard method using the RUU utility, if he provided a modified version for your device. Personally I don't know him and wouldn't trust his modified ROMs that much.

Make sure your RUU_signed.nbh file is 255,042,690 bytes in size, has the following MD5 hash: f8bef794847a1227a768d78c39e74005, or the following SHA-1 hash: b1bfab1e87cb819e67b8adc1f9b297022aedfa96 and the CRC-32 checksum 3EFFA45C before you flash it to your device.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ST13Hogan:
Thank you! So i'll try the gold card method. will get the cable tmorrow...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Marcb:
guys, can i use those Y cables that packs USB Hard Drives??

I'm also going to buy 2 USB Female-Female adapters to use my SD card reader and plug the usb-micro usb cable....

is that the correct procedure?

meu SD card reader is this one:
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Yes, that cable from your USB hard drive might work with a female-female adapter plug and a standard USB2.0 OTG cable (or another female-female adapter plug and the cable that came with your phone).

The SD card reader also works fine, I've used the same one sucessfully.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Marcb:
thank you!

Once i get the cable and adapters i'll get into to it then post results here!
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] inconceeeivable:
Huh? So should a T-Mobile US user not flash the HTC Europe ROM?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
The generic ROM will support all standard GSM/WCDMA networks on GPRS base, EDGE/2G, 3G and HSxPA. Carrier specific network features may or may not work. Carrier specific features include but are not limited to wifi roaming services, cell tower preference settings or radio strength settings adjusted to tower grid density of the particular carrier.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] inconceeeivable:
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
which name is for HTC 7 Pro (Gold)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Try GOLDIMG.NBH.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
great, thank you....

also if this cable OK with female adaptor (to connect HTC 7 Pro)?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
No, it won't work with a female adapter only, you'll also need a mini-B5 to micro-USB adapter.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
maybe not explain all in my question....

one male connector from this cable go to computer (power supply)

miniUSB go to card reader

second male + female adapter + HTC USB cable

is this be working? or must use adapter this mini-B5 to micro-USB adapter for connction for phone?

thank you for help :)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
It could work, but since your card reader has a detachable cable, is that a multicard reader? If it is, those rarely work. Mine doesn't.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
yes is multicard reader... ok... now must wait few weeks to get all from ebay and then i write result...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
one question more:

anyone know this reader work? if anyone can suggest me one from ebay... all what find is multireader :(

SD-SDHC-MEMORY-CARD-READER-USB-1GB-2GB-4GB-8GB-16GB

thank you
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Yes, that one will work, it just has to be a conformant, single memory card, generic reader device without hard disk mass storage emulation (removable media pass through). Any standard SD/MMC/RS-MMC memory card reader would work.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] arcnet:
This is my setup and where I got them from - not the only solution I know but I can verify that all this works perfectly which might help others who feel unsure as to what will and wont work. I found these by a bit of trial and error so thought I would help others save some time and money from buying kit that doesnt work

Micro SD SDHC TF Card Reader Adaptor USB 2.0 Upto 16GB £0.99 pence !!

USB GENDER Changer USB A Female to A Female New UK £2.99

USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive 2 USB A to Micro B £5.94

2GB SANDISK MICRO SD SDHC MEMORY CARD ONLY FOR MOBILE £3.18

The red USB plug goes to PC.

Gender changer goes on the black USB and allows the card reader to be attached.

The micro usb goes to HD7

The SanDisk 2GB micro-sd card works a treat as goldcard.

Hope this helps others who are unsure about what kit works and doesnt :)

Would this work Enercell® YC-8868 USB Splitter Cable Ive got a mirco sd card and it came with a Dane Elec 4gb and a microSD USB adapter
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
No, this cable won't work as it is only made for charging (only the 5V lines connected, no data/3.3V).
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] WinDOsPhone:

Yes, you're looking for a cable like that and either a female-female adapter and the cable that came with your phone, or a standard USB2.0-OTG microUSB cable.

help

hello friends I'm from Colombia to here is not that of a female and two males, only achieved one male to two females.

my question is this cable can also do the procedure.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Probably not, because those are usually charger cables to allow charging of two devices on a single AC to 5V USB charger and don't pass through the data.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] shynoshy2:
thanks for your answer friend.

do you know how I can help or have a tutorial that here in my country do not sell this type of cable.

Thank you.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Well, you could always try eBay.

This one: http://cgi.ebay.com/120626323613

this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/230434585189

and that one: http://cgi.ebay.com/280696670159

would work.

For the SD card reader, these ones work well: http://cgi.ebay.com/250839165312

They all ship to Colombia.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
finally i got all what need, but when try load firmware to 7Pro get error No Image Files!

renamed RUU_signed.nbh file to GOLDIMG.NBH

but maybe problem is in gold card?

i have old WM device but usb connector is faulty and used bluetooth connection for activesync connection and get SD card CID... maybe this is problem?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
ok... borrowed Omnia 2 WM phone, inserted 2 gb microSD, tried with Gold Card Tool, synced phone with PC, but dont see card (phone read card OK)

tried on Win7 and XP... no luck...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Please try using a dedicated SD card reader instead of a mobile phone, it'll only run you between $1-2.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
yes i have all this....

reader

http://cgi.ebay.com/250839165312

microSD card formatted to FAT32 with SDFormatter 3.0

but how to read CID from regular SDcard reader???? i tried but this not working for me....

only last hope is to get android phone and try with him...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
What capacity is your card? Did you format it with 4096 byte sectors afterwards using the format function in Windows Explorer? Did you write the goldcard sector to the card after formatting (otherwise it gets deleted)?

Are you sure your image file is named GOLDIMG.NBH or 7PROIMG.NBH or HTC_IMG.NBH?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
card is 2 gb (trying to make another gold card and cant read CID... with other card 2 month before i done this without problem) ... tried also format in explorer.... same result....

ok... i have old card with gold prepared (with this get error when try update)... only tried GOLDIMG.NBH.... now i try other names....
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
same with all names, No Image Files
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
i got new 2gb microSD card, with androidphone get CID, make gold card and still "No Image File"....
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Try a 256MB, 512MB or 1GB card instead.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
i tried... first gold card what make 3 month ago is 256 mb...

major problem seems is SPL 0.82 and nothing can load to this stupid SPL

if any give useful advice i pay 50€ for reward... and please dont send me advice to buy cables, readers and card... a have it all what you advice here in thread...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
You could try the RSPL/HSPL that DFT recently released. http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41553&extra=page=1

If that also doesn't work, you'll need to disassemble your phone and use a JTAG compatible flashing device like the RIFF box ( http://www.jtagbox.com/category/jtag-dealers/ ), which will run you around 150-200 bucks and requires soldering an adapter plug to attach the phone's base board and some software. http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/riff-jtag-htc-hd7-unbrick-unlock-imei-repair-cid-update-supported/
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
yes i tried... not working.... SPL 0.82 not supported...

there also i offer 50€ for advice....

i spend enough for this CRAP device... i dont spend any more... when i collect to buy new device, i break this with hammer....
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Well, the JTAG flashing method definitely works, it's just more on the expensive side and you may be breaking a law or two depending on where you live by owning and/or using such a device for copyprotection circumvention or IMEI manipulation. The initial software put on mobile phones is loaded through the JTAG serial interface. You can load any compatible image on your phone with that method (incompatible ones, too, but that's just stupid and won't work).

You can also send your phone to someone who can fix or "unbrick" your phone for you. http://www.jtagbox.com/riff-jtag-bo...-bricked-phone-riff-box-owners-list/#comments
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] raskal:
you can't use a 256mb micro sd, it will not work, best is to use a 1 or 2 gb micro sd.

btw, the Y cable including reader and 1 gb micro sd, tested and working, cost 15 euro plus shipping, here:

http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showth...-price-***-HOT?p=134055&viewfull=1#post134055
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Any 1GB or smaller card will work for all ROM images smaller than the formatted card size. 2GB cards do not work with most phones, using them is risky.

Second, the method described in this thread is completely free, except for the hardware required, which you can get for less than 10 bucks WITH shipping.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
ok... tried HTC services in my country but none can do this... from list seems must go to other country, Serbia or Hungary.... in Hungary maybe is closest but dont know language.. hope this guy who post in jtagbox know english :)

i have only one question (if any know answer)... if do JTAG upgrade, is possible change also SPL? is stupid to upgrade with JTAG every few month if only ROM upgrade with this way....
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Yes, if you use the JTAG method, you can flash anything you want. Essentially what you do is provide the CPU on the baseboard with new boot code and then you flash the memory block with whatever you want.

The SPL is part of the ROM. When you flash a normal ROM you also flash a LOADER, a CLEANER, the SPL, RADIO, OS, TOUCH1, TOUCH2, TOUCH3 and optionally the OPTION ROM (the latter includes IMEI settings, MAC addresses and such).

The only difference between normal flashing and the JTAG method is that you don't load the SPL from the baseboard first which may emulate certain areas to RAM or block overwriting them. The method is also frequently used to unbrick phones that no longer have an SPL on them (and therefore cannot be flashed otherwise).
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
ok...

i got message from dude from hungary... he say this is very risky if this prototype device...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
There haven't been made any changes to the hardware apart from the camera (not on the base board, and that was in the HD7S) and the SD card (the size is different) as far as I'm aware. But you could always dump the existing memory contents first... that way you'd have a backup in case things go wrong.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yahona3:
Hello guys i've been reading the former topics about the update for a while and still couldn't update using the ways mentioned there.

Anyway just check for update this morning through wireless and BANG there is an update available it even gave me the choice to use the computer or to do the downloading though wireless and I did it was more than 8megabytes

The thing is nothing changed no new apps the software is still 2.1-update 1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Can you get root?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yahona3:
Actually I don't root so never tried and never will.

Sorry
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Well.. I was going to say a good way to check if you have the latest update is to try and root with Z4root or something.. if it doesn't work.. good chance you are on the new update. (what have you got against rooting anyway? sounds like the new update is perfect for you.. because it hates root too.. :D )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yahona3:
:-D I have nothing against root I don't even know what it does.

It just I have a really bad history in messing with software ,i lost a very important phone to me because I messed with it. W980
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enlightener:
i updated via OTA a couple of minutes ago. The phone was rooted and still is...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] The Andropirate:
I don't want to do thus update and I accidentally selected OTA now I have a notification is there a way to remove it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
Go to 'Setup -> Application -> Active Services (Translated menu)' and remove one of the running services. I've forgot the exact name as I already removed it. Now open the notification area (scroll the thing at the top down) and select the update. Now select cancel.

Something like that. I've done that 2 day's ago, so I don't know exactly anymore.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FiDra:
Mine said that it has the latest software version. UK firmware.

Someone else uses UK Fw that updated your phone please show me how to do that.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] murdok83:
Good day guys.

I got my brand new omnia 7 and i was wondering abiout the possibility to keep in control the 3g data used per month.

is there any apps or any way to control the amount of data used (and i'm talking about the data used through the carrier).

Thak you very much
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
WM7? What's that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] murdok83:
oh s##t you right! I was hung up to Windows mobile but now is WP7.. I meant Windows phone 7. I don't belive there is not internet data counter!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I have a live tile on my homescreen which is a link to the following website;

http://wap.o2.co.uk/myo2account/myprepayallowance

This webpage gives me my remaining credit, how many free texts I have left and how much data I have left. So it provides a data counter.

This is for UK O2 Pay as you go, but I'm sure other carriers provide similar mobile web pages for their customers to see their account status.

There's really no need for an app. Just find out the URL from your carrier and pin the page to your home screen. Et voila!
[Windows Phone 7 General] murdok83:
well... One of our cerriers doesn't provide such option... And besides, it is one of the minimum requirements that a phone like this should have... What surprises me the most is that no app has been developed yet... =[
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Wait - Your carrier doesn't have a website? Who are you with, Joe's Garden Shed Aerial Sales?
[Windows Phone 7 General] murdok83:
I don't know this guy, but I'd love to... anyway, my carrier (WIND) does have a website but it doesn't give the chance to track the amount of bytes that have been used... i know.. it's sad!!

Nonetheless, I keep saying that this option should be given for this amount of money
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
it is indeed a bit weird that a smartphone wouldn't provide this information, but hopefully MS wise up a bit and bring it in as part of an update sometime soon.

i don't believe you'll see a proper app for this (possibly a homebrew one might come along though) as the proper APIs for this haven't been made available (i think anyways).
[Windows Phone 7 General] murdok83:
...BUT WHY???!!! Please, oh God, TELL ME WHY THEY DID THIS TO US :eek::eek::eek::confused:...

why couldn't they add these simple features like:

-Ringtones&vibrations loving each other

-Data counter telling you that you're spending way too much time online

-A camera that you can silence in order to take picture of your neighborhood

WHY... WHYYYYYYYYY????? :(:(:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Well one could equally well ask why your carrier refuses to share with you your data usage via its website.
[Windows Phone 7 General] murdok83:
I like your sarcasms... Because you were sarcastic, weren't you?!

Anyway, it is like not being able to keep track of how many minutes we've talked... Mah, to be or not to be

...
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i definitely understand what you're talking about. and yes there is still a lot missing. hopefully MS actually takes the time with these updates to implement some of these features which i don't think would take all that long to code. but for now, be patient. perhaps post your ideas on social.microsoft.com, as that is the direct communication line with them. and perhaps in one of the pinned threads (future updates i think it is), so that we can keep track of features we'd like to see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
do we even know why you need a silent shudder??? :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
some want it. from what i've read in the past, HTC phone's shutter sound obays the actual volume you set, so if you set the volume to 0, you get no shutter sound. this doesn't apply to Samsung and LG phones though. but i think having a silent shutter should be added.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Just wanted to say thanks, hope you all had a merry xmas and have a great new year. I have no idea how difficult what you do is, our how long it takes. And honestly have only used darkys recent roms myself, but I know there are many of you out there doing it.

Just thought it was worth saying thanks to you all for your work to take what I thought was a great phone and make it outstanding.

[Desire HD General] cenedra:
I just gotten a DHD, and rooted it via Visionary, radio S-off with jkoljo's one click S-off, installed clockworkmod and flashed recovery.

then I followed sfjuocekr's guide and eng S-off, and proceed to install the kernel update utility into my PC, and flashed Buzz kernel v1.0.6 using the zimage method, and it was successful (says the kernel update app). Then I waited for the android to restart and upon completion, I pressed apply modules.

And now everytime i starts up my phone, i get the error messaging saying that Titanium backup, rom manager and flikie wallpapers has stopped, and I have to force close them. My wifi is also unavailable, when i checked into settings, it says wifi error.

Does anyone know what went wrong?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] cenedra:
I reflashed the kernel and the modules again, and my wifi is ok this time round.

But my 3 apps are still getting the error message, and this time round i got a message saying that my superuser is not responding and force closed.

I think that the superuser is causing all these problems, Ive reinstalled Rom manager and titanium backup, and when i tried to use titanium backup, it says it could not acquire root privileges, and for me to verify that my rom is rooted and includes busybox (which Ive done right at the beginning when i root my phone).

Im still able to access bootloader, so i guess i still hv root. Not sure why my superuser is not working. Anyone can help?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
I would always go radio s-off and eng s-off, it creates less errors and offers more flexability:)
