Hi, I've been trying to make a gold card to root an HTC merge on US cellular for a few months now, but the website psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard has been down, and everyone keeps giving me tools that use that site, even when I post that it is down. Can someone please help me generate a gold card, give me an alternative or point me in the right direction please?
So you wanted to root your HTC but the method others provided does not work, right?

Yes, that's correct, I get to the part where it says to make a gold card, but the website won't load and I can't find any other methods of making one
Try this way

Sorry for my english
I have been trying to get to a stage where I can root my phone , have reached an 'Unlocked' status and would like to generate a GoldCard.
However, when running GoldCard Helper the screen displays:-
Card: mmc1:0001
Reverse CID:
003ea21d1f400345443247344d000115
Card:mmc2:e624
Reverse CID
00b600d4f01c0f804736315553445303
Maybe I'm missing something ? Should a newly formatted sd card be in the phone before running GoldCard Helper?

Guys- I took my phone to be unlocked from a wee shop in Edinburgh and they failed, leaving the XDA useless. I beleive the software version i had on it prevented unlocking. (i had downloaded upgraded software and radio pack off the 02 website about 2 months ago)
Do any of you know what I can do- I need to get it up and working again and then put a vodofone sim card in it..
many thanks in advance from a frustrated scotsman..
Can you explain what you mean by "leaving the xda useless"?
Hi- it wouldn't boot up, however since my first messagem the operating system is back! It still leaves the problem of how to unlock it...Any ideas
Thanks -Stew
Which radio stack are you using?
You can try downloading xdaunlock.exe, copy it your xda, this file has to be dragged/dropped to xda or cut/pasted to xda, do NOT execute the file on the pc, it needs executing on xda, just explore your xda to the place you copied the file to and double tap. The other option is to use a serial cable and download the xda manipulator program and run that on your pc with your xda in bootloader mode while connected by serial cable. The other option is to download the developers rom 1.2, that will unlock your phone automatically. You would be advised to backup your existing rom to sd card then you can go back to that if you decide not to keep the 1.2 rom. The sd backup will also come in handy if you cook a rom in the kitchen and decide you dont want it, I keep a 64 meg sd card for just that purpose.
I also suggest you have a good look around the forum and become aware of problems that may arise and solutions that may be available, there is a mine of information here thanks to the guys that run the forum and their dedication to the task.
Thank you for taking the time to reply
How do I find out which radio stack i am using?
Re the radio stack-I downloaded an upgraded version from the 02 website a few months ago if that gives you a clue..
thanks again
Stew
Go to start/settings/system/device information.
Cheers- as you can tell I am not as technically gifted as some of you guys but I learn quick.
Will check out what version it is when I get home and let you know.

people, it's possible this? i've read others posts!!about unbricker methods... it's possible or not? erofich, help us!!! Thanks
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

Device ID isn't a Carrirer ID
device id in our case means STAR100 or STAR160
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.
aldo, you need a gold card image which has own serial number

you don't need exactly the HTC StarTrek to read your MicroSD card's serial number - you can use ANY Windows Mobile powered device which has a microSD slot
ok, thanks, i'm going to look for someone who has WM device
tomorrow, i'm going to get a WM phone, i still couldn't have to test it... i hope it will work.. cross fingers!!!
dont forget to format your microsd card to fat32 before!
aldo, describe your problem here and stop spamming by both private and visitor messages, or i will add you to black list in my profile
ok, i explain you... when i tried to install the gold key in the SD card, i get a error that it says as follow: You need to set right registry permisions. See the QMAT manual for more info....
Please, tell me what i can do, answer me, thanks and sorry for the inconvenients

Oh my God, my phone is live............ it works!!!!!!
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

What version is your flyer
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Here is what I would do. Go to www.goodandevo.com. Download the update you want as a zip file put the zip file on your sd card then boot into recovery and flash the zip. To boot into recovery hold volume down while powering up or Rom Manager has an option to boot into recovery.
mcord11758 - i using 2.3.4 at 2.27.707.1 any solution to go back to 2.3.3 ?
geebee1932 - is a broken link u gave me? what update is that
HELLO everyone!!!! i have error opening RUU file and what should i do to downgrade back to 2.3.3
Best buy flyer right?
Edit looks like from your version number you are a asian flyer. You need to get the full package and Fastboot flash it if you can not run the ruu. I do not have that file. You are the only person I can remember having your issue. Maybe something wrong with the dl on the thread. Maybe try and find alternative source

[FIXED] WhatsApp working on Flyer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey all,
After much effort I have managed to get my 3g Flyer running on Leedroids ROM to run WhatsApp messenger.
Here's what I did.
(You will need an android phone[rooted] for this to work. If you try this, and you break something, its your problem, its at your own risk.)
*Make sure you have already installed and attempted to register your flyer on WhatsApp.
*Install Root Explorer on your phone and tab.
*On your phone back up your WhatsApp data.
*Now delete the WhatsApp application from your phone
*Wait 5mins so all data is cleared from your phone.
*Now download WhatsApp from the market again
*When asked to register, use your Flyers number.
*Your Flyer will receive the registration message - either forward the message to your phone, and WhatsApp will pick it up, OR - just wait for the timer to expire and insert the 3 digits from the message.
*You would have created the account now.
*Now, on your phone, using Root Explorer, navigate to data/data/ and zip the folder 'com.whatsapp'
*Using bluetooth or email, send the new zip file to your Flyer.
*On your Flyer, navigate to Data/data and DELETE 'com.whatsapp'
*Now extract the zip file, and copy/move the folder into data/data.
*Attempt to run WhatsApp, but it will probably forceclose after the registration window.
*Using Rom Manager, I run the Fix Permissions option and rebooted my Flyer
*I've now got full function WhatsApp on my 3G Flyer!
*Don't forget to delete WhatsApp and restore your backup on your phone.

Hi All,
I’ve just got myself a “bargain” from eBay that was advertised as unlocked but alas turned up with the sim lock on
I’ve contacted the Tmobile network in the UK and they will only send a code to a uk address and I am not there.
I have looked on this and other forums and seen that I could do it myself. I have rooted the phone and now have the yellow warning triangle on boot up. I also have CWM and Superuser icons in the Applications.
I have then tried to go onto the android app store to download Chainfires Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. I then get the "There are no Android phones associated with this account" problem. Again I have looked at the solution to remove the phone number and re-enter it but this has not worked. I have tried several times.
I do not have Wifi and obviously can’t access the internet on the phone.
Is someone able to kindly send me the file in an email?
Once I have this done what else do I need to do to the phone? I’ve rooted it but only to the closest number I could find.
Thanks to XDA and all of you for reading this!
I'm a little slow so plese can you dumb it down... alot! ha ha
Phone: GT-I9100
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - I9100BOKJ1
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
apk
That app only works on early version phones and may not work for you. If it doesn't you should try Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app it works on all S II's but I believe it requires Internet to get a small payload. Which could be a problem for you unless you drive around for the first open WiFi.
It also doesn't give a code it just straight unlocks the phone.
Thanks. I have downloaded this to my computer. What do I now do with it?
I'm still lost... What do I do?
Please can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks
Place the app on your internal or external sdcard and install. Ensure you have enabled 'unknown sources' or something like it in the phone settings first. Allow it root access when prompted by the super user app.

Thanks for the quick reply,
The phone is brand new to me and I don't understand your instruction. I have downloaded the file and extraced the folders and files. I have then placed this onto the card. I then go into the phone and have ticked the unknown sources box. I then try to run any of the files and only get a "No applications can perform this action" error.
If I try to run AndroidManifest.xml it opens HTML viewer.
Anyone Please....
It's an apk, you weren't supposed to extract it. Apk files are android installation packages. Push the apk to your phone's sd card, and open it using the "my files" app to install.
Thanks again. I've done that. I can find the file eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode.zip in My files. When I tap on it I get the message "Open file. No applications can perform this action"
What am I doin wrong? Thanks for your patience

You apparently somehow changed the file extension from .apk to .zip. Change it back.
I had to change the file extension from .zip!
I am not running the app and hopefully that will work. Wish me luck!
What else should I do to a new phone? Is there any way to get rid of the Tmobile startup screens?
Thanks for all your help, you have helped me stop pulling all my hair out and shouting at the dog!

Anymore ideas anyone?

You can flash a stock unbranded firmware... But it sounds as if you should read a lot more educational material before attempting this. Lots of good information is in the roll up sticky in the i9100 general section. Start there, and start reading. I can't offer you any shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to lead to frustration and bricked phones.
I have looked into other ways to unlock this phone...

But the damn phone is unlocked. Wtf
Is there anyway to get hotspot to work?

Dang only 3 views. Is this forum dead?
Very dead. No new threads fir the 24A update released this week
Well of your rooted then disable the Verizon native hotspot and use a 3rd party one
"Mvno Master"
Do you know what the native one is called? I assume it's a service which isn't simply labelled Hot Spot. I've tried 3rd party ones and they crash and then populate the error again.
Go to /system/customize/ACC folder with root browser and copy your default.xml file and send it to me I'll see what I can do.

Hey
I have the v10 with chatr carrier and I don't have the hotspot option too.
The freakin phone tells me I need to register or open something with verizon ID\phone number. I can't use the hotspot tethering ...
Frankly I don't have updates installed yet or rooted the phone.
I will search how to do that to day but will appreciate any info or tips.
Thanks
Lev
You can find the rooting thread on this forum. It's pretty easy but you need a PC. You need to install some drivers for you PC. Also when connecting to the PC, use the USB that came with the phone, many other low ends ones will generate an error on the PC.
Read the instructions 10 times.
Once rooted
Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you the file and instructions to fix the hotspot error.

I followed the instructions, the file is there with the permissions but after the reboot turning on the hotspot fails.
The error sais " Activity is not exist this device".
The first time I try to enable it shows as on but after that every time it stays off.
Couldn't find the wireless network on the laptop scan.
Any thoughts please?
BTW anyone knows if in v6 the hotspot is locked too?
