This may be a stupid question but just how do I 'use' the goldcard?
I turned my phone on with the goldcard inserted and connected my phone to my PC with the USB cable and ran the RUU - Result = failure
Do i need to boot the phone in a special way?

I just updated my Legend, it said it was to do with the camera. It's now version 1.32.161.4 and the root guide at 24/May r4 - HTC Legend rooting guide - Now with 1.31.x - Android @ MoDaCo says 1.31 and below is there any way to downgrade the Legend to what it was before? I think it was 1.21 or 1.23 not sure.

using snow leopard. the closest guide i got: Softbank Sucks: How to create a goldcard with mac or Linux for rooting HT-03a
i followed the steps, but i can't tell if i managed to actually succeed. i tried rooting my desire, and it hasnt been successful so i presume i must have gone wrong with this part of creating a GoldCard. (since the guides on Modaco needs Hex Editor for Windows and I dont have Windows installed on my Mac's Bootcamp.)
Any idea whether there is another way to create a goldcard? Given that Goldcard service down isn't currently working?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having severe problems with the Orange ROM on my phone, not to mention I hate how they have messed around with 2.1.
I have 1.15.61.10 BB 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11.
I'd like to know if anyone can tell me which is the best/most stable ROM to change to, and also and most importantly, if I change to another version, preferably unbranded HTC 2.1, what happens when Orange push OTA updates out?
Will my phone try and download the Orange updates? Or will it attach to some HTC server somewhere and download the generic version?
Id rather not have to manually update everytime a new ROM comes out, so it would be good if I didn't have to, but I would think each network would only provide their own version OTA. Is this right?
I've got a Vodafone handset that I unlocked and debranded and it currently has the official Froyo 2.2 software on it.
When I updated to Froyo I decided to make my regular 8gb SD card into a Goldcard so that I can leave it in the phone, use it as normal and still receive the official OTA updates. But, I'm wondering what actually makes it a Goldcard - i.e. is there anything I've got to be careful not to delete? Or is it just a case of being sure not to reformat it?
All I did was to backup the files on it before I formatted it and turned it into a Goldcard and then copied those back over to it after having done the update. So, still a Goldcard then?
I have seen several posts about once you have debranded a phone you need to put the goldcard back in to update using the OTA update otherwise you will lose access to your wifi. Are there any problems with using my large microsdcard as the goldcard and then permanently leaving it in the phone?

Is it possible to create a gold card without having the SD in the phone?
Reason i ask, currently im running A2SD+ so when i insert a blank memory card, the phone does not boot pass the HTC screen as its needs the original SD where all the files are.
My only SD card is the one in my phone (its a goldcard) I installed rom manager did a SD card partition, it deleted everything on my card. Did I just destroy my goldcard? Also, my phone loads up fine etc. but i am on the stock desire FW and I have no market or google apps anymore (after the partition).

ok i have been trying to get ROM on my hero but i have to use the goldcard method ...
i found this on a site [PC Application] GoldCardTool - Android @ MoDaCo ..... its not mine and i take no credit for it but thought i should share it with the people who do not no about it and for the less technical minded like me its easy to do and takes less than 2 mins
lol here is 1 real big tip this will make you laugh . dont forget to plug your phone into your pc . i was trying and trying for about 15mins before i stopped being thick that i tried to use this program with my phone on charge in the mains and not plugged in com and synced lmfao ... all this trying toput ROM on has fried my brain
Cracked the screen! It only fell from my lap onto the centre console of the car, I have made it noticeable in the photo but you can hardly see it when the backlight is on. I will fix it soon, but I'll need a detailed guide on how to do it, I have seen some forums on how to do it but it doesn't seem that easy. I'll need a digitizer from fleebay & some tools, unless someone on the forums can do it?

I am pleased with the Legend, but at times things come up that confuse me somewhat. Recently a friend and I were taking photos and I thought it would be interesting to compare camera quality of her BB Curve 8900 with my HTC Legend. Below are the photos.

Is it just me or is something wrong here? (Forgive me naivety!) Also, could it be that I need to fine tune some settings or something? I hope somehow I can improve these shots.. the Legend's assumed superior camera was one of its main attractive characteristics for me!
Is there any application to restart the OS only?

I wanted to pair it with my new Legend, but for some reason when I press Scan for devices in the Bluetooth setup, my PC shows up, my neighbor's Nokia shows up, but the headset never appears. I thought that Bluetooth devices were pretty universal; shouldn't my Legend see this headset and pair with it without problem?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn every phone i have had for many years now, pushing any of the buttons whilst the phone's screen is off activates the screen briefly (usually just showing the clock or prompting for the screen unlock). This is both useful for ensuring the phone is switched on but is just as useful for ensuring the phone is switched off (night, meetings, flights, cinema etc).
The only way of activating the screen to check the Legend's on/off status appears to be to push the power button. However, if the phone is off, this simply switches the phone on! This strikes me as being a completely daft design decision.
So, is there any way of checking that a Legend is off without switching it on and then off again?
(Yes, i know there are silent, flight safe, meeting and other modes...)
I decided to try and root to install a custom 2.1 rom on my Telus HTC Hero running firmware 1.5 (build 2.73.661.46 CL#74632 release-keys), but I'm failing miserably! I'm following the goldcard method to downgrade before rooting but every time I create a gold card it fails. I remove the card and either insert it into the phone or PC and both tell me it's unrecognised and needs formatting.
I've tried 4 different micro SD cards (stock 2GB, class 4 4GB, class 4 8GB, generic 2GB) all with the same result. Is this because I'm running Windows Vista or Windows 7 (I get the same result on two different laptops)? If I install XP will I have more luck? Or do I just need to keep spending yet more cash on unneeded micro SD cards? Or just keep trying with the same cards over and over agian? Failing that, I'll buy a prepared goldcard if anybody has a spare one lying around?
