do i need gold card to root if my phone is not branded ?

---

I'm asking coz I failed to create a gold card more than 10th times and I'm sure I followed the steps carefully buy no Luke .

What's going wrong with the goldcard like?
Have you tried using another SD?

Yes you need it.
I've a NoBrand Legend and tryed, with no success, to root it until I've created in the right way the GoldCard.
If yours does'nt work change the sd!!!
Changing mine I did goal!!!!

this is somewhat relevant,

i have an unbranded generic that was failing so ill try with a gold card so ty for that but as a side note i assume that OTA updates will work again just buy simply flashing the phone with stock generic firmware correct ?

sorry for not replying sooner my problem is this :

C:\sdk\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid: No such file or directory

Try this! C:\sdk\tools>adb shell cat/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid

it finally worked thanks man .

now i have a new problem, after finishing this step :

# Navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.

# In the terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate.

i get a red triangle on the device screen and on the command prompt i get :
Erasing cache and rebooting in RUU mode...

< waiting for device >

and nothing happens !!
