(STEP 1 GOLDCARD)
Finaly i done it all phew i had a really long day learning yesterday from the start i was on the tmobile latest rom RUU_Hero_TMobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
I figured out the goldcard soulotion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
Great video guide here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how-to-downgrade-your-htc-hero-so-it-can-be-rooted/
01. Download QMAT 5.06 here http://revskills.de/downloads/qmat_506.zip
It’s a demo version so will only run for 10 minutes.
02. Format your SD card to FAT32. Please keep in mind some brands of SD cards do not work. Note sd card must be in phone here
03. Use adb to run this command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
04. Copy the SD card cid code displayed after the adb command.
05. Start Qmat and Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox.
06. Look at the bottom, there is a text box (beside the “Reverse String” button) enter the SD card cid code you got earlier.
Click on the “Reverse String” button, the result is reversed…
Example: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
07. Copy the reversed SD card cid code.
08. Go to QMAT goldcard site here http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html to generate your goldcard (yes it says for G1 but works for our Hero too).
09. Enter your email. For the correct SD card cid code, you need to replace the first 2 characters to 00.
Example: From “532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402” to “002600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402”
10. Click Continue and you will receive the goldcard.img in .zip format in your email.
11. Go to your email, download the zip file and save it to a directory and unzip it to goldcard.img
12. Download HxD Hex Editor from here http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/30....html?tag=mncol
13. Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program. Note SD Card has to be in your pc or reader here at this point NOTE ALSO (run the editor as administrator in order for it to appear)
14. Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
15. Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier.
Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
16. Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
17. Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset 00000000 till offset 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
18. Click on File > Save. now you can exit the program.
19. Reboot your phone with this SD Card (now GoldCard) inside
20. Use the Official HTC RUU to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 here ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hero...ed_NoDriver.exe
from which you can fastboot boot and/or root your phone with flashrec Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613 (Please see guide below for this)
Done.
(STEP 2 recovery)
You need to install this recovery first with flashrec instructions below
You can use flashrec to flash the patched recovery, from where you can do all the usual stuff (and even put the old hboot back on if you want!)
Notice:
flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working.
So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !
Quick Howto:
1. On your phone, goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this).
4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
flashrec-20090815.apk
Cyanogen’s / Modaco Hero Recovery Image
Update: updated flashrec here
6. Extract the cm-hero-recovery.img out of the MoDaCoPatchedRecovery-1.0.zip and put it somewhere on your computer.
7. Save both the cm-hero-recovery.img and the flashrec-20090815.apk to your computer, then copy them both to your SD card
(do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them in the root of the SD card itself).
8. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
9. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
10. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the flashrec-20090815.apk file and click on it.
If asked, tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
11. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
12. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
Then click on the Flash Custom Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.
13. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on
(keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background).
As long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly and can now go and load other ROM/hboot/whatever.
THIS IS OPTIONAL RECOVERY BELOW BETTER OPTIONS BUT YOU NEED THE ABOVE RECOVERY FIRST
I then flashed the new recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3 Great Video guide here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
(STEP 3 INSTALL CUSTOM ROM)
Then i installed the cool modaco custom rom v2.8 to my phone http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...com/292018/xda/
Great Video guide here http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
Also dont forget to upgrade your radio here http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...ate-zip-format/
Download the latest one normally on the top to install rename the zip to Update put on root of SD card and boot into recovery and install update.zip option easy as that.
STEP 4 PARTITION SD CARD)
Then finaly i partioned my sd card using the recovery imiage with thease commands directly from the phone in recovery.
I ran the following commands in this order from recvoery mode:
- Wipe data + cache (factory reset)
- Wipe ext partition on SD-card
- Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !) [email protected] ALWAYS WORK
- Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32
- Convert ext2 to ext3
- Installed ROM

hi, was following your procedure in order to crezte the Gold Card. Everything goes perfect up to step 20. After I used to flash with RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe; big mistake. after flashing I can't put phone in recovery mode, it showing a triangle with a exclamation mark in the center, also GPS is not existing at all, 3 G network not present. My phone has been bought from Hong Kong.
I was trying to follow the steps to recovery but useless; flashrec-20090815.apk is not working, even the new versions. If someone can help me with some advices, i'm really desperate. thanks
help please!!!!
Hi all. after I create the gold card, see link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...187#post5036187, I RUU my Htc Hero from Hong Kong with SEA: (South East Asia)
RUU_Hero_HTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_2.73.728.5_release_signe d_NoDriver.exe and I'd seen there is no GPS, Market and 3G, than I'd applied another RUU RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe and this time I have Market, but still no GPS and 3G. I tried different RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622, but no one working, not even the previous two. I tried to use flashrec-20090815.apk in order to flash, but no working. even the new version of flashrec not working. I tried to put in recovery mode holding POWER + HOME button, but after boot is showing a triangle with exclamation mark in the middle. Same is happening if I try to go in recovery mode from ADB (command adb shell reboot recovery). Is somebody so kind to explain me what to do in order to restore my phone at least how it was before, please? My skills in android development are 0. thanks
help please!!!!
so, nobody wants to help me ? i'm really desperate ...........
finally, I made again the gold card, after I re flash with RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe, and works. Than I used flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk and recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img and I created Backup.img. Tried to put in recovery mode by pressing in the same time Power and Home and I got the following screen:
"reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
BTW, GPS and 3G still missing from menu. Trying to update with 2.8-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-chinese-signed.zip or with 3.0-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip, I got this :
" -- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (663 files)

Phone hanging, freezing.... HELPPPPPP please!!!!!!!!

this is what I got:
What else i can do?
Is there anyone here in this forum who has been complimentary to this guide? I ask because I am an organizer of the recognition awards for Achievement in Technical Writing & Guides (to help people use their phones)... And the Android forums are new, and thus there has been very little response to the intention to recognize those who have contributed knowledge, apps, themes, guides to the community.
thank you. see my sig.

I thought the purpose of the GoldCard was to help bypass the ID checking?

It is - the point is that the creation of a goldcard is not an exact science. If your goldcard is not correct, for any reason, it won't work.
There have been many accounts on these forums of people having to try 3 or 4 times (usually using different SD cards) before getting a goldcard that works.

Dave

I got it working on the second attempt. In the tutorial I was reading it advice I use a separate sd card reader when creating the gold card.
On my second attempt I just left the card in the phone the whole time and mounted it through the phone when I needed to perform hex editing on it.
Lovely job, now to choose what custom ROM I shall flash.
HI all,
Dexter wrote a super-cool folio 100 mod including Android Market, Flashplayer and much better performance. You find it here: http://dext3r.komodin.org/folio100/FolioModv13d.zip. I think this makes the folio 100 finally useful.
When I wanted to install it, however, I had to overcome several hurdles (which had nothing to do with Dexters work). Therefore, I thought that it would be useful to post a full description of what I had to do here.
1. Download the mod from the URL above. Put the update.zip file which you find in the archive into the root of an SD-Card with at least 150-200 MB of free space.
2. Shut down you folio 100
2. Put the SD Card into your folio 100
3. Start your folio 100, when you see boot image push "Power" and "Vol +" quickly (you only have 3 seconds to do this) ==> You should now see a message explaining that are in the recovery menu!
4. Press VOL + Factory reset or system update.
5. Press VOL - to continue to system update.
6. Press VOL + to confirm system update
==> WHEN ALL GOES FINE UPDATE SHOULD NOW START AND THE DEVICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY REBOOT (it is possible that you must shutdown and restart manually after update. This is the case when the android label is shown but the device does not start for a very long time).
BUT for some of you (including me) this will fail and you will see a text on the screen like booting recovery kernel image and the tablet freezes there.
In this case, it seems that your recovery image used to run updates is broken and you must first reload a working recovery image.
Now it gets a bit hairy:
We will use Android Development Environment and load a working recovery image via USB. Here are the steps:
1. Download the Android SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. For Windows users I suggest to get the zip and NOT put it in Program Directory unless you want to run all commands with administrator privileges.
2. Now we must extend the drivers section to be able to load software onto our folio tablet. Goto %android_install_dir%/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf and enter the following lines in the sections [Google.NTamd64] and [Google.NTx86] (depending on your systems architecture you could place it only in one section but why not in both?).
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
3. Last but not least you should ensure that the comand fastboot.exe located under %android_install_dir%/tools knows where it finds the AdbWinApi.dll. Test this by running the tool without option from a command line. If you get and error message add the path to AdbWinApi.dll to your PATH variabe. The path is usually: %android_install_dir%/platform-tools . The PATH variable you can enter under Control Panel->Maintenance->System->Environment Variables.
4. Now you must run your table in fastboot mode. To do so you should start your folio tablet and on the Toshiba loading screen quickly press 3 times the startbutton and then the VOL + button.
5. The tables should print a message that it is now in fastboot mode. Connect it via USB to your PC.
6. Windows will try to load a driver but it will fail to recognise it. Choose the option to manually add a driver. Ensure to manually select a file NOT search in a directory and select the aforementioned file %android_install_dir%/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf .
7. Windows will ask you what driver you want to lead. Choose Bootloader and Windows will install it.
8. In Dexters update.zip for the foliomod (mentioned above and found inside the package here: http://dext3r.komodin.org/folio100/FolioModv13d.zip) is a working recovery.img. Extract this image (file recovery.img) and best place it under %android_install_dir%/tools.
9. Now we are ready to replace the faulty recovery image. Open a command line and go to %android_install_dir%/tools. Type:
fastboot erase recovery
this will erase the old recovery image.
10. Now lets laod the working recovery image. Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will load the recovery.img of Dexter which we placed in the %android_install_dir%/tools folder before. Note: If you do want to place the img file in this folder you must indicate the full path to it inside the command.
11. Now we are nearly done. You can unplug your tablet and restart the update procedure for the foliomod as described at the beginning of this post. This time the update should work fine.
Well, I hope this helps someone. At least in my case the update worked and I thought it might be use to sum up all information.
Best regards

hi,
in order to rewrite the recovery image, do i need to be root ?
no, because the update.zip is signed with the same key toshiba's deployed is latest release.

Do I need the OS update for my Folio 100
Hi there,
I am a bit confused. I have installed the Super Dexter Folio 100 mod and it is great. Do I then need the OS update??
I cannot download it from Toshiba web site. After the Dexter install. the data needed like Model no. Serial no. and Part no. is blank !!
Any ideas.?
Regards,
Per.
If you have installed Foliomod 1.4 there is no need to update.
Foliomod 1.4 has the update integrated.
blank part and serial no
sorry,
but i have to enter correct model, part and serial numbers in order to send it back to Toshiba, how can we do?
Regards
Why do you need these numbers? They are not needed for custom roms.
in order to revert to original toshiba's rom to send it again for repair.
This method worked perfect for me, while I was having trouble with the other one. Thanks alot!
Thank you very much. You saved my life.
I was searching for days to fix my folio!!!
It worked excellent for me. Now everything is fine.
Downgrade
If I installed the toshiba stock rom it will be perfctly good. I mean the model number an so on..
i was to hasty when i bought my folio and i update my firmware to the latest , is there any way to downgrade ? , i tried both this way and an ADB shell command to restore my recovery image , but my recovery still dont start , after i press power button followed by VOL + it just goes black for 5 sec and then boots android with no message at all, :/ , possible to fix it ?
tried using fastboot to install update.zip but failed.
=>
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot update update.zip

I don't know why the 'thanks' button isn't active for TS. But thanks for your comprehensive guide to put another ROM on the device. The Fastboot method of replacing recovery.img worked like a charm .

In others forums I found some notes about fastboot.exe, but this application is not in folder tools.
Can you some help me?
Thanks
In newer SDK versions it's in platform-tools.
so ,everything works installing it this way , but after that how do i get into recovery?
if i use "power" and "volume up" i'm getting the old recovery.
I recently ordered an Onda obook10 dual booting tablet (Android 5.1 +Win10) from GearBest, and received it a week (and a half) ago. It is the V5 version (9th and 10th digits of S/N). Booted into Android at first, swiped around a little, and then left it alone for when I was free. Day before, I booted into Windows, and seeing that an account was already set up, hit the factory reset option (Options: remove all personal files, normal wipe (not thorough)). It rebooted, said it was resetting, then got stuck at 5% for a half hour. I then did a hard reboot, and it starting resetting again. I repeated this a few times, with different waiting periods, but it always got stuck at 5%. I wanted to see what was going on, so I opened the OS selector menu and tried to boot into Android, but that put the device into a bootloop, and it's stayed that way since. I downloaded the recovery WinPE from their website, and tried running it; all went well until the last step (installing the install.wim file), which succeeded, but when the batch file tried to set the boot options/flags, it threw an error about not being able to access D:, and failed. Tried making the recovery USB and installing multiple times, but it failed every time. I then tried Gandalf's WinPE image, which booted, and tried using imagex to install the .wim file to C: manually, as detailed here. This failed too.
I'm at my wits' end, honestly. I have no idea what else to try. There's another WinPE file available for download, but it's dated only a couple of weeks after the one I already have, so I'm hesitant to download it if there's any other option (I have very low bandwidth, it would take me at least two days). Also, it's hosted on Baidu, and the download times out after about an hour, and cannot resume. If anyone could give me any ideas, or point me towards a guide I haven't found yet (I've read all the relevant ones I could find on the Onda forums, but please post them anyway if you think they would be helpful), that would be great.
What would be perfect is if someone could upload, or point me toward a system dump/partition clone of at least the Windows partition and boot partition; I have the tools needed to flash those.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I managed to fix this a while ago, and have put the procedure somewhere in this thread, but since people keep popping up every now and then asking for it, I'm going to put this here so it's easier to find. Copied from later in the thread, here, and modified to be more general:
This uses slightly modified commands from the Onda firmware install script, and will result in a COMPLETE WIPE and reinstall of Windows - all the files on the Windows partition will be lost. This SHOULD work for anyone whose Android is working but Windows isn't, but I can't guarantee that. I can't even guarantee that this will work (though I am pretty sure it will) - I have not tested it completely. If you can, you should make a backup of anything files on the internal storage, just in case. As always, read the whole procedure before starting.
NOTE: If your Android isn't working, you need to install that first - get the Android file from the Onda Baidu page (look for the one for OBOOK 10 (not SE), with the appropriate V1, V2, V3, V5, or V7 code - you can find your code by checking the serial no. on the back of your device, the 9th and 10th characters), and follow the instructions in the document included in the zip - they are pretty straightforward, but you'll have to use Google Translate, as they're in Chinese. This MUST be done before the Windows procedure, because the Android installer wipes the entire disk.
If you want, you can make the procedure easier for yourself and save all the commands below to a text file, put it in the root folder of the USB before booting, and open it in Notepad by using:
Code:
notepad D:\textfile.txt
Or whatever name you give it. That way, you can copy paste them all easily.
Boot into the Windows installer, and when the command window appears, press Ctrl-C. After a few seconds, it will ask you if you want to terminate batch job, type 'y' and press enter. You now have a command prompt to work with.
You have to delete your Windows partitions first. The below partition numbers should be correct, but you should make sure first by running "list partition" and checking if it corresponds with the last 3 partitions, which should be your Windows partitions - their sizes are usually 128 MB, 35 GB, and around 800-1024 MB, and their types are Reserved, Primary, and Recovery (DO NOT delete the Primary partition at the beginning of the disk). DO NOT delete the Unknown partitions - those are Android's.
Code:
diskpart
sel disk 0
sel partition 14
delete partition
sel partition 13
delete partition
sel partition 12
delete partition
Your Windows partitions are now completely gone, so you'll have to recreate them first.
Change directory to the images folder.
Code:
cd D:\images
Get filesizes of .wim files to create partitions accordingly:
Code:
for %I in (Install.wim) do set INSTALL_SIZE=%~zI
set /a INSTALL_SIZE_MB=%INSTALL_SIZE:~0,-6%
for %I in (Winre.wim) do set RE_SIZE=%~zI
set /a RE_SIZE_MB=%RE_SIZE:~0,-6%
if %RE_SIZE_MB% LSS 430 (set /a RE_SIZE_MB=480
) else (
if %RE_SIZE_MB% GEQ 430 (
if %RE_SIZE_MB% LSS 680 (
set /a RE_SIZE_MB=%RE_SIZE_MB%+320
) else (
set /a RE_SIZE_MB=%RE_SIZE_MB%+1024
)
) )
Make sure to preserve all the spaces and brackets in the above code.
Enter diskpart, run the following:
Code:
sel disk 0
create partition msr size=128
create partition primary
shrink minimum=%RE_SIZE_MB%
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows"
assign letter="W"
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
assign letter="R"
set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
You should now have 14 partitions when you do "list partition".
Exit diskpart.
Now for the actual installation:
Code:
md w:\recycler
md R:\recovery\windowsre
DISM /Apply-Image /ImageFile:"D:\images\Install.wim" /ApplyDir:w: /Index:1 /Compact /ScratchDir:w:\recycler
xcopy D:\images\Winre.wim r:\recovery\windowsre /y
Create boot entry:
Code:
bcdboot w:\WINDOWS
If that doesn't work, then:
w:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\BCDBOOT w:\WINDOWS
Set recovery environment:
Code:
w:\windows\system32\reagentc.exe /SetREImage /Path R:\recovery\windowsre /target w:\windows
And that's it! You should have both OSes operational now.
Update: I've managed to fix this problem. However, since the procedure is lengthy, and there doesn't seem to be anybody who needs a solution, I'm not going to the trouble of typing it out. If anyone does need to know how to save it, post here, and I'd be happy to help out.

Inside the ROM zip, there should be a Word document with instructions in Chinese on how to flash the ROM. It should basically say something like this:
1. Extract zip contents, put them in a USB drive.
2. Plug it in, and with a keyboard attached, hold down ESC and power on the device to enter BIOS.
3. Enter the Boot Manager, and select Internal EFI.
4. It should automatically start applying the ROM after a few seconds.
Be warned that this may wipe your Windows partition - this happened to me, but that may be because my partition table was somewhat messed up. Either way, be sure to take a disk image or backup of your MSR, C drive, and recovery partition (probably the last 3 partitions on the disk).

Is the partition still there, or is that just free space you're seeing? For me, the partition was gone, with unallocated space in its place. If the partition is still there, then your job is relatively simple.
1. Make a WinPE recovery drive from another Windows machine, or just use a custom one (like Gandalf's WinPE, Google it).
2. Boot into it from the BIOS menu.
3. Load a command prompt.
4. Type "diskpart" (no quotes). Wait until you get a prompt like: DISKPART>
5. Enter the following commands:
a. select disk 0
b. list partition
c. select partition xx (where xx is the number of the Windows partition. If it's not labelled, it'll be the one about 36 gigs in size.
d. assign letter=c
e. exit
6. Now just run "bcdboot C:\Windows"
7. Reboot, and you should see Windows in your BIOS menu once more, and the button should pop up on Android as well.
If the Windows partition is not there, and it's just free space, things become more complicated. You'll need to get your hands on the Windows installer image. There is an older version on the Onda website (December 2015) that should do the job - or rather, there's a link to their Baidu account. You can find the more recent version in their account as well. The issue is that Baidu doesn't allow you to download files that large without installing their crapware. I got around it by registering an account and some URL-fu, but it's a PITA, especially if you have a slow connection. There's a Yandex mirror somewhere, but I'm not at home, so I don't have the link right now. I'll post it when I get back. EDIT: Here it is.
After you get the files, DON'T install it; it might wipe your Android install (did for me). There's an issue in their install script that made the command that hides the Android partitions from getting deleted not work. What I did was terminate the automatic install, and selectively apply the relevant portions of the script manually. You could probably do the same, but it could take you a while; took me two days and a bunch of background reading. If you're used to messing with Windows installs though, it'd probably be a cakewalk for you. I'd prepare some instructions for you, or even try and write a script myself using that one as a base, but I have exams right now, and I wouldn't have time for at least a week. If you haven't figured it out by then, just ask, and I'll do it.

You can enter the BIOS menu by connecting a keyboard and holding down ESC while booting up.

I don't remember exactly what it's called, but I think it was the second menu entry - Boot <Something>. In that menu, you should see your USB drive USB EFI device or something like that listed - it might also show the manufacturer name (it showed my USB as a Sandisk). If you don't see it, you may have made a mistake when making the bootable USB - try it again while reading the instructions on Gandalf's site carefully. If you used Rufus to make the bootable, maybe try Unetbootin this time - it worked fine for me.
P.S. In case you meant boot into the file - you can't. You have to write it to a USB drive first. Instructions are on the same site you downloaded it from.

Install? Maybe, but you wouldn't have any of the necessary drivers, so touch and WiFi and stuff wouldn't work. However, you can download the drivers and try installing them, which might work, though it probably won't since they're made for Windows 10.

Depending on certain things, you may be able to just run the installer without doing anything extra. Are you able to boot into Android? Open a CMD window, and run the following commands:
1. diskpart
2. sel disk 0
3. list partition
Post the output of these here. A screenshot will also be OK.

When you extract that, you'll get a bunch of files and a DOC in Chinese explaining the procedure to make the recovery disk. Once you've made that, a WARNING before you boot into it: it will automatically open a CMD and start a delay counter, after which it will start the install automatically. Since this might break the Android side, you'll have to cancel it with Control-C in that delay period, which will give you a normal CMD to work with. You can use this to run the commands from my last post. If you want to be extra safe, also download a different WinPE recovery file (like Gandalf - actually you should download this anyway, it has some useful tools you might need later on), and boot into that instead. Depending on the output of those commands, you may be able to just run the automatic installer without worries.

You are probably in the internal EFI shell. Power off, connect a keyboard, and hold Fn+ESC while turning it on. This will get you the BIOS menu. Select Boot Manager. Normally, you'll see Android and Windows entries, and you could select one of them to boot, but in your case, you might only see Internal EFI Shell. If this is the case, follow the instructions from my earlier posts, and post the output of those commands. Depending on the result, it might be an easy fix, or a difficult fix. Hopefully, neither of you needs the difficult one, but if you do, I'll try and make a guide when I get time. In the meantime, post the output of the commands.

Just press it down for a long time, at least 10 seconds, that'll do it. For some reason it takes a really long time to force shutdown. If that doesn't work, then there might be an issue with your hardware. Also try typing the "exit" command - it should put you into the BIOS menu directly.

In TWRP, click install all this and rejoice! 3. Who has nothing to do at all: go to the forum thread Development and porting of GSI firmware (Post bullik01 # 71222655) and try what catches your eye. Not all are loaded, but .... (although we do not seem to have an A / B structure, but only "arm64 A / B" were launched) PS: look for additional information here on the forum and for brotherly devices UMiDIGI A5 Pro - Firmware ( Post Xakep1993 # 86772223) Attached files recovery-TWRP_3.3-20191015-1714.img (22.81 MB) DisableForceEncryption_Treble.zip (4.24 MB)

Hi, were you by any chance able to get a copy of these files ,Please upload if posssible
The original links are broken and the internet seemed to wipe all traces out, I'm looking for the N20_utils and possibly the Disable force encryption one
Good day
Had the same problem, (English not so good but I know you'll understand). What I did was just installing Corvus OS rom, the 11th version. It's been quite a while since i installed it.
Tried Lineage 18.1 and adding the smallest gapps available, but everytime i get code error 1. I guess it was the twrp 3.3 version i used cause some roms requer the latest TWRP versions. The lineage is installing just right nd can reboot to system with no hiccups.
None of Android 12 gsi versions has ever been able to installed. Cause when i try to install, i get the error of "file too large for the target partition. Tried everything from the net to increase the system partition to at-least 3gig. No success.....
Is anyone who can help to install android 12 even beta version will be ok for my N20 Doogee??
Thanx

The file is in the forum. But to make your life easier here are the link.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18B-srDVia_H4aDt7uvCDUxg2e4R5kVVY?usp=sharing The file is of type .exe and that extracts when you run on the pc, the problem is that I was suspicious about the virus so I threw the file in the total virus (if you don't know what it is, just search) and 6 programs pointed it out as malware but many others didn't find anything including karpersky and bit defender, there to make sure the files were there i renown they from .exe to .zip and I looked and the files really were there but as I don't want to take the risk I didn't extract and I didn't even try anything. The file that fix the encryption are inside doogee n20.exe, the guy said it will be in .exe and when you run it extracts the file in the C folder of the computer I recommend you to rename it from .exe to .zip because if the file have a virus you can screw your pc when running

Hi, did you find N20_utils?
Hello everyone, today I will show you my way how to unbrick hard-bricked Selecline MW7526L - 871023 S4T7IN with mainboard [BND-RK3126-K86-YH A2.4] for free by without InfinityBox CM2RKT v2.01 or others...
The way I figured out on my own without box cost me 2 days of trying searching online and I was very disappointed because there is almost no support for devices like this, and if you find something you can't download without membership, so I pass hard way to figured out the right way to make a live this device again, but I decided to make it very easy for you guys with all already prepared files to save your time .
BEFORE WE START - open your device and check if your mainboard is with code [BND-RK3126-K86-YH A2.4] if not don't try it.

So let's Start
1. Download and extract files to your Desktop drivers , flash tool and firmware:
Edit:
Links updated
#Firmware:
Auchan SELECLINE RK312X v5.1.1 Firmware.zip
drive.google.com
#Driver Assistant
Rockchip DriverAssitant_v4.4

#Flash tool
AndroidTool_Release_v2.35.rar | by heatshiver for Generic Device/Other
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.

1.1 Install drivers
Now once you extracted file inside you will find Rockchip_DriverAssitant_v4.4 folder, open it and Run DriverInstall.exe in order to install driver.
There’s no need to connect your Rockchip device during this procedure, a very important thing is if you've previously tried to install the Rockchip USB drivers for any Rockchip devices make sure you click “Uninstall Driver” first and then Re-open DriverInstall.exe and click on “Install Driver”.

1. 2 Now extract downloaded firmware to Desktop or wherever you want.
For me is easy to create one new folder on Desktop with name MW7526L - 871023 S4T7IN
But you can do how is easy for you ...
1.3 Now extract downloaded flash tool and run "AndroidTool.exe" and load all prepared files from Selecline MW7526L - 871023 S4T7IN folder where you extracted files. In my case I extracted to the Desktop so my location is C:\Users\Maksim\Desktop\Selecline MW7526L - 871023 S4T7IN\Flash tool and files\image .And load each one and make sure to check all boxes exept userdata.
See steps in pictures:

https://ibb.co/F6fhHMK

Check all except the userdata and load parameter file from extracted firmware in my case Selecline MW7526L - 871023 S4T7IN\Flash tool and files folder each img files one by one except the user data and Radial update from Selecline MW7526L - 871023 S4T7IN\Flash tool and files\image folder.

4. Now press together Vol + / Vol- and plug usb cable and press also Power button for few seconds for device to be detected like Loader inside tool.
Then once is detected press on "Lower Format" and wait to be done. Then again do the same step and now press "Run"and wait for progress to complete full and your device will boot ....

https://ibb.co/xDnvTzy
Now once device is booted it will take more than 5 minutes to load so all you need to do is to force your device to boot into Recovery mode, to do that once device is stucked on boot logo just HOLD together Power button and Vol + button and just hold like that and your device will reboot and don't release buttons until you see you are in recovery mode.
You will facing errors like
E: failed to load cache ... it will be fixed after factory reset
E: failed to load rknand ... it will be fixed after factory reset
E: failed to mount /mt/sd ... it means that device can't mount micro sd card because is not existed
Ignore those and just simple with Vol- go to Wipe Cache partition and confirm with one time pressedPower button .
Now once is completed go to Wipe data /Factory reset and confirm with Power button . Once is once is completed go to Reboot system now and confirm with one time pressed Power button .

To make it work properly update Google play services and also apps like YouTube, Google, etc...
Device is slow with 512MB of RAM so don't expect to be so fast like devices with 2GB or more ....
FLASH TOOL CAN'T DETECT YOUR DEVICE
Solution:
Short 7-8-9 pin from nandchip with tweezers or some wire carefullyor and plug the usb cable while you shorted those pins from nandchip.
See picture:

https://ibb.co/bP4WYWC
Device it will be detected inside flashtool like Found One MASKROM Device and flash as in the instructions above and it should be fine.
That's it :highfive:
Good luck
