it is better you find out - http://psas.revskills.de
and learn PSAs 1.08 was released, I am confident that you can develop it to your device
and as a friend, I can only help with this

I search people.... You have a HTC Monet, please write in this topic

How "bricked" is your device - i.e. which state can you get it when switching on?

This Device run only in Bootloader mode(tri color screen etc)
Problem is.... this phone not have a Official/Ship firmware

Well then the sequence is:
Hard-Reset (L+R Softkey method)
R2SD backup (where can you get THAT? - Even how can you make that, on a GoldCard possibly?)
Official firmware (see above)
Gold Card will not help for loading a cooked ROM as it still needs a signed ROM (despite ignoring the Carrier).

Hard-Reset (L+R Softkey method) -> Not Working
R2SD backup (where can you get THAT? - Even how can you make that, on a GoldCard possibly?) -> Not Working
Official firmware (see above) -> Not Find, and not get from Virgin Mobile/HTC

Sad situation - you will have to google around, possibly find owners where you could get at R2SD backup from (if that works for this device). I found this query not so long ago: http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php/31636-Htc-lobster-700tv-how-can-i-unlock-with-xtc-clip-%28virgin-mobile%29
Do you know if this device has the M-Systems DiscOnChip (like older Wizard and Typhoon(Hurricane/Tornado) or already newer/other encrypted storage?
You could as well try the guys at IMEI-check.UK - they are very knowledgeable and may have a system backup of the supported devices in their drawer (just in case..). Maybe they can fully CID Unlock the SPL on that device and allow the flashing of a cooked ROM (is there any)?

I understand, but not have a good solutions. i see all this pages... and nothing

My dad still has his Monet on the stock ROM.
IF you can give me simple instructions to follow to dump the ROM, I can do it when I next see him (within the next few months).

Safest method should be to have a GoldCard created and then do a R2SD backup on that card. The R2SD command should be available from the "GoldCard - SuperCID" SPL.
If that works, nothing on the device itself has to be changed and the complete ROM is dumped on the card. In turn that memory card can then be dumped to a file, zipped and shared.

I said simple I've not ever researched gold card and to be honest don't have the inclination to do so. if you could give me clear step by step instructions with links to needed files, I can help.

Well - I don't need it, its Nokser
So he surely will tell you a step-by-step action what to do, maybe even prepare a package for you. It will require downloading a program that can create the Gold Card (psas.revskills.de), have a suiting SD card, as small as 64MB, but any less than 2 GB will do it, a normal USB cable, a PC, a Terminal Program (mtty) and finally one out of a set of tools that can handle the created image.
If all is prepared well, the total time to execute all actions would be ~half an hour (the dump on the device is just a minute!), but you should calculate a little more for this one time action.
Thanks for offering your help to save one of a species from the dumpster!

Hi
Please, you first dump and write in attach. bootloader section

...just to complement the GoldCard idea:
When writing back the dump to a card for loading the broken device, the bootsector of that card may require to be a "gold card" too. Since the Gold Card key is related to the device and the Serial number of the card, the key contained in the bootsector of the dump will not fit to the serial of the new card Nokser has to use.
So after the dump was written back to the card, the PSAS has to write the goldcard-key to the new card again (which is different as the serial of the card is different).
I wish you luck getting that operation done!

I want Bootloader, because in this file is writing all info from load all parts and method backup. All abouts from boot file is importand.
If we IDA execute this file, then we see -> how to get any section and name sectiors

Bootloader (IPL and SPL) are part of the "R2SD All" backup. You can patch them later. Makes no sense to only do partial R2SD backups.

I understand, but this function is not working in my phone

Also not with "goldcard" inserted? Can PSAS make a GoldCard for Lobster/Monet?

Device 'hangs' on O2 screen, but want to upgrade need advice

Hello all,
My XDA 1 has a fault I don't understand. When I hit the Power on button it comes on and stops at the O2 splash screen. It will not go beyond this point no matter what I try. The desktop does not recognise the device when I connect via USB. I have tried:
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. booting up in bootloader and running all device tests (failed USB rx & Infrared rx)
4. In bootloader copying boot to SD and booting with that. (Unfortunately I do not currently have an SD card large enough to copy CE or GSM boot)
What I really need to know is if I can try to upgrade the device (to WM2003) anyway and if the upgrade will solve the problem I have now.
DEVICE DETAILS:
Device: O2 xda 1
Bootloader: 5.14
ROM: 4.01
Radio: 3.02
Any and all advice/help/replies most welcome. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I searched and couldn't find the info I needed.
Thanks,
Aide
It's a lost cause...
Device can't connect to activesync via serial or USB so I can't upgrade and see if that solves it. Don't have card reader to try SD method. The problem is as described in my first post above.
I don't know how this happened (I hadn't tried upgrading or any sort of flashing apart from unlocking the device a looooong time ago).
Any ideas as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Aide
Your ROM version is not known (at least for me ) ... are you sure it's not 4.01.00 ??
Anyway, regardless of the reason, the good news is that you still have the boot loader working, the bad new is that you MUST use the SD method since the ActiveSync doesn't recognize the device.
Thanks Bis,
Yes ROM is 4.01.00 (sorry if I confused anyone ). Problem is at a new level.
I got an XDA with a cracked screen (so it's almost impossible to use though everything works) and used that with XDAtools (thanks Jeff) to upgrade to xda-dev Special Rom 1.2.
I copied the ROM to the 32MB SD card (got and error message at the end) but still risked using it to try bootloader method on the 'hanging xda. It worked: kinda :?
It now boots and hangs at the xda-dev splash screen and no other changes to original problem. Was that error message I saw responsible or could something hardware related have happened?
Still waiting for relief...Help me please. Someone, anyone...

That's your problem - redo everything above - but using a 64MB SD Card or higher. The ROM files are just over 32MB. Even if your card said it was all there chances are it could have been corrupt.
-JB
Thanks JB,
Getting 128MB card in the morning, will let all know how it went.
Aide
PS: Noticed someone posted same initial problem under topic 'XDA 1 locked on O2 screen' in General forum with no solution posted. So if anyone is interested - watch this space!
Ahhhh... God is in his heaven and all is right with the world
Used 128MB card and it worked like a charm. One thing I noted though: After I used XDAtools to copy ROM to the SD card and put it in the device it would not boot from the card automatically. I assume the ROM update tool on the device checks to see if the current ROM and the one on the SD card are the same and ignores the SD card if they are. (By the way, could someone please confirm if this is so? Idle curiosity :wink: )
I had to use the tool on the device to write the ROM to SD from one device and then the other device (that had the hanging problem) finally read that copy.
Thanks all,
Aide
some boot loder versions doesn't recognize ROM file on SD cards ... ex: 5.22

What is a Hard or Soft SPL

I allreyd flashed a lot and did use a soft spl, but I do not find a proper
explanation what it is.
So, i Think it is the Bootloader ?
Can anyone tell me what a soft and a hard SPL is and does ?
For what do I need it ?
I just got my new Touch Pro bought in UK and now it is here in Germany and I want a german ROM on it as soon as it is available.
Please don´t write your standard answers like WIKI and Search - a forum is here for communication and I did not find the proper answers - only too long threats

Yep your right on that assumption sir The bootloader does alot of the low level handling of the startup process when you power on the device aswell as handling the process when you flash anything to the device...im sure its far more technical than that but thats a starter explanation Essentially you NEED a bootloader for the device to work at all, the case with many of the HTC devices...other devices are different most likely.
Soft SPL: (normally referred to as SSPL) IS loaded into RAM and allows you to perform some of the operations the standard bootloader would do, naturally with some extra functionality (explained later)
HardSPL: Same sort of thing except it is flashed to the device permenantly, so it replaces the HTC bootloader in your devices flash memory.
Both of these tend to safeguard against corrupting the device by having some fancy workarounds and updates to the processes built into the HTC SPL, and the best part is that they allow you to flash ANY ROM you wish therefor allowing us to use Cooked ROMs and various updates like radio updates and etc...frees the device up quite superbly.

Perhaps some mebers feel like adding a general HardSPL page to the wiki for FAQs like this to be answered better than "Search the forum.." since we know its not that good for finding anything.
The Wiki is there for everyone to use and edit so, learn and pass it on
Just a quick question, does any of this interfere with HTC released updated ROMs? Like, when they release a new version on their site, does having HardSPL prevent you from updating?
Hello !
Thank you for your advise.
One more question:
Should I install Hard or Soft SPL ?
I want to try out many ROMS - I think Hard is better, what do you mean ?
Thank you for your help
By the way:
I am a kind of technican - working in IT for nearly 18 years starting fron Novell, Banyan Vines and DOS up to Windows Vista. Also I am a kind of apple Guru, thats why I have certainly an iPhone 2G and 3G.
For business I use HTC devices sind the first MDA. But I lost track a little sind iPhone.
As I am a technic nerc I sstarted with th the Diamond touch again and I liked the device but i swapped this week to the touch pro because of the keyboard, SD Slot an flash light. I love this device.
By the way I also have the new Samsung Omnia 900 here and an unfun Nokia E71 ( I hate this old symbian - looks like last centuty )
So good night and thank you

no, raphael hardspl is unsigned, means any rom is allowed, including HTC official roms.

you can only install hardspl. the job of soft spl is to install hardspl.
do not ever try any of the following:
- with SSPL, do not flash anything other than the included SPL NBH files. as extra protection the diamond and raphael SSPL's require htchacker sign (except the version jocky edited) and will reject anything that's not an SPL.
- and do not ever try to flash SSPL as an NBH, especially if it is a diamond or raphael.
Im sorry to disagree with your "don't tell me to use the Wiki".
But this is a fairly comprehensive answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? straight out the wiki.

There are several things.
UC is short for User Customisation; it is in all the Kaiser ROM's nowadays. l3v5y's Raph ROMs also have it.
Links: l3v5y's ROMs & Main UC Thread.
I use UC to install programs, Provisioning XML (as part of UC) to change registry settings, my xcopyce application to copy folders and active sync to copy contacts, calender etc.

Dave
Ok, thanks. Seems very complicated. Having to write XML files and such.
when running RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe, it says all information will be lost on my device. Are you sure i dont lose everything when installing Hard-SPL?

I can't say. I haven't done it, what says you will lose all the info, the RUU or the thread? If it's the RUU, then you should be OK, it's probably the standard message that the proper RUU (used for carrier ROM upgrades) has.
UC is good, takes maybe an hour or two to get setup, but once done, you don't have to do it again and it makes flashing so much fun. I started with just installing CAB's and Copying files, then went onto ProvXML for my registry settings next. The latest version of Schap's Advanced Config (3.0) can export tweaks into a Prov XML file for you. It is worth it if you flash your ROM as often as I do.
Dave
I do love this kind of stuff. Any new gadget i get, i like to do this kinda stuff with it. But its a little overwhelming in this case .
So, using UC, i can set it up so that my settings, such as email accounts, wifi networks + passes, notify settings, etc, as well as all the programs are restored after a ROM flash?
To do this i have to manually go through my registry to find the entries for each of these settings though? No way to just extract my current unflashed devices settings to a file that the new ROMs then use? That would be nice

We are getting a little off topic of the OP now but...
Any tweaks done with schaps Advanced Config can be easiler exported using a "export" menu option.
If you export your registry after flashing, and again after you have all your settings setup right, you can Diff then using a Diff Program and copy the changes into your ProvXML file. Most PPC Regedit programs can export.
Any more on UC, I'd have a read of the UC thread and ask any questions in there. Myself and l3v5y keep and eye on it most of the time and should be able to help fairly quickly.

Hello
So my Threat became quite interesting.
One last question foe me.
What File should I download to HARD SPL my Touch Pro.
Is there a file which includes all ? I mean I do not have to modify files inside the cabinet or so ?
Is there a fast link ?
Thank you for all the help - now lets start using the Touch - weekend is near

lol, sure, there is only one package, and you simply click the EXE and it goes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
Is it possible to use those backup softwares? Like Spb Backup for example that say "ROM Upgrade Mode — now it's possible to restore data after the ROM upgrade"? Instead of UC and such?
there is a IPL initial program loader (sort of bios)
a SPL secondary program loader (kinda like the ntloader)
and there is a service mode (3 color screen) (the flashprog)
then we have a RUU remote unit upgrader
mft masterfile table
mbr master boot record
and some other shizzle
the device switches the output of the internal usb when device is in 3 colorscreen to a service mode which allows it to overwrite the internal flashdrive .. pretty neat as what it actually does is switching to an internal flashprogrammer which programs the internal flashdrive. this is the same process as is used for your pc at home to update the bios.
the CID celloperator identification code (used for blocking certain rom upgrades)
enjoy..
Soft SPL quesiton

what is a "gold card"?
Man, i've read this in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard it's possible to get something like that for HTC S411?
its possible it will work.......cause i think this was originally done on the herald. But then you're still stuck at this step:
Code:
Download a shipped ROM (not a dumped or cooked ROM!) with the [B]same Device ID[/B] as yours
so you're still stuck, since u need a shipped rom for the s411

yes aldo, i think it will work!
please, could you help me? because this phone is very uncommon in my country, i need the gold card, i don't know who has this phone. please send me the file if you have this phone. thanks
my bad......got my IDs mixed up. So aldo, u are ok with that, u can use either the qtek rom or the dopod rom. all the steps and files you need are in that wiki. you dont need another s411 for this, you just need a working windows mobile phone to obtain the card ID. its really easy, i already created one myself, i just haven't had the time to test it yet.
read the instructions in the wiki article, and if you are having problems, then post in the thread that's linked in that wiki article. And once you are done, if you're successful, post here, so others that have bricked their phone know that they can use this method to unbrick it.
please, attacht the file for test... please
i don't have any WM device, please attacthment the file to test in my phone
dude, there is no file to post, its written directly to the sd card.
if i generated the file instead of directly writing it, this file will only work with my sd card, which is why you need to do this on your own. dont you realize this is why there are only instructions on how to generate the gold card, and no one posted any file. borrow a wm device from someone, it only takes like 3 clicks.
i still cant test if this works.......i need to hunt down a non-sdhc card, i knew i shouldnt have returned that 2gb card.

oh my god, oh my ****ing god... it works!!!
People follow the steps in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...e=Elf_GoldCard; first you have to this is in the WM device working if you don't get the gold card....
This is taken from Manual QMAT: page 38
This tool lets you create a goldcard for HTC devices. The goldcard is a special SD card that unlocks
Diagnostic Features for HTC devices.
Once your device is connected via Activesync / WMDC, you can press "Get SD Card Serial from
WINCE Device" to obtain the serial number of the inserted SDCard in your PDA/Smartphone.
Alternatively you can enter the 16-byte Serial number manually.
To make it work, please check the following :
- On the device, allow start of itsutils.dll
- On some devices you must set the right security permissions via Registry Editor :
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\"00001001" set to integer 1
After that, select the device under "device key" to generate a goldcard image.
Then you can choose either "Save Goldcard Image to File" to generate a SDCard Image,
or write the Goldcard directly to the SD Card inserted in your PDA/Smartphone via "Save Goldcard
Image to WINCE SD".
Do it!!! and post your results....
my congratulations

Iolite SUPER-CID

I purchased a Taiwanese Iolite (T4242), comes with Chinese version.
I used the QMAT to Change the CID to SperCID and than Just flashed it with :
_file_RUU_Iolite_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.3_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe
IT WORKS FLOWSLY... and my device is now WWE.
How to do it:
I just followed the instructions on the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard&action=BackLinks:
• Download QMAT and MTTY from http://rapidshare.de/files/46772105/qmat_and_mtty.zip.html
o The latest copy of QMAT is also found http://revskills.de/pages/download.html
• A spare microSD card
• Optional: a card reader
Format your memory card for FAT32
• If you have a card reader, go to DOS and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
where <volume> specifies the drive letter of the SD card. For example: format d: /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
Run QMAT to create the Gold Card
1. Put the newly-formatted SD card in the working WM device and connect to ActiveSync
2. Run QMAT, go to the Hardware Forensics menu, and then select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
3. Select your device's key (Iolite)
4. Get the SD Card Serial from WINCE Device
5. Save the Gold Card image to the SD Card
6. Put the SD card in your device and put it into bootloader mode (hold down the VolumeDown button and press the reset button).
7. Now you have a card which gives you SuperCID.
8. With the card inserted into the Iolite, which is in bootloader mode, connect the Iolite via USB to ActiveSync.
9. From your PC, run the RomUpdateUtility.exe from the RUU folder containing the WWE shipped ROM
It should start flashing if everything is configured properly!
Good Luck
Thank you for your info but the steps are hard to follow, admire your patience!
I flashed mine without making a GoldCard to unlock my Iolite. Mine was in CHS and after flashing become Europe WWE. I am looking for an Asia WWE. There is one in the forum but it can't be flash and I don't know whether it is because it is RUU .... _Test.exe and not ... _Ship.exe
Maybe the GoldCard unlock method will work and not sure it is worthwhile to try.
In fact it is very easy.... if you read it carefully you see that it is just connect your device with a formated sd and than reboot it to boot loader...
The next is flash with any ship rom.
Seems that your country id matched the rom you flashed.. however you will not be able to flash any-rom.
As it seems to me many users are stucked with rom flashing .. Hard SPL has not been around yet.. so this is a nice solution and once again - very easy!!!
Maybe it works. But.... not in unregistered version with Trojan.
Be careful!
You have to purchase a license.

Mmm.... in fact, I did copy the entire directions of "Howto", however I did not even use the MTTY.. pay attention that in my notes, I ignored checking of SuperId setup. The Mtty is required just to check that you have a superid before flashing. It is not required (I think so...) with this machine... it wull not flash if the SuperId did not load.... so just to make it simple : connect the machine, setup the SD card and flash ..... easy no?
I will not load the MTTY from Rapidshare I trust that you checked it and since it is not required... I suggest that you eliminate this step.
Tested from a Taiwanese rom to a European one and it works great. Thanks a lot for the tip !

Galaida, can you try to explain what have you done and what did not work for you? perhaps we can help to resolve the issue?
Should work.... please include in your answer the name of the rom you tried to flash and error messages that you received while in process of the Gold Card.

I am not sure if this was requested... however here is the link to the "home" of the utility:http://revskills.de/pages/download.html
I suggest thta you get it from this site, as other users already reported RapidShare and other may have a Trojan as well.

Unregistered QMAT cannot create GoldCard for Iolite.

I am glad that it is a kind of a solution..... however remeber that each time you want to flash the device, you have to have the Super-CID sd in the machine.... and you are set.

Dubi, wait a minute, do you have a registered QMAT or an unregistered version?
As one of the forum member commented, it will take 20 Euros, (more than $30) to register QMAT in order to make a GoldCard with the method you mentioned.
Can you confirm that?

[HELP] Goldcard questions.

hi thanks to anyone who replies!
1.) How do i know is i have successfully created my goldcard?
2.) Can i still use this goldcard as a removable disk on my Hero?
3.) What does a goldcard do?
To answer your questions!
1) If it allows you to use an RUU that isn't specific to your carrier, it has worked.
2) Yes
3) All it does it override the CID (carrier ID checking) when you apply an RUU. Normally, if you were to attempt to use an Orange RUU on a device with a T-Mobile ROM, it would complain because the carrier ID on your new ROM doesn't match the carrier ID on your old ROM. The goldcard simply tells the phone to ignore the current carrier ID.
It should be said that the creation of a goldcard is not an exact science. You can go through all the steps apparently successfully and still end up with something that doesn't work. Sometimes, simply trying again works, but in other situations you need to try a completely different SD card.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks dave for answering all my questions
Just a quick tip, while creating the goldcard, there will be a phase where you will be using a program called HxD. When you are to "open disk" choose the physical disk that corresponds to your SD card, instead of the logical disk. That's where a lot people fails at =)
And after you are gone through all the guide and should end up with a goldcard, just remove your card from your pc, and re-mount it. If you are asked to format the card, you have failed, if not, probably you were successful =)
Good luck =)
