Create Goldcard without the phone?

[cmarti]

My Fender got bricked by flashing the radio and spl and now I can only get to the bootloader menu.

I tried the sappimg.nbh method and it didn't worked, tried with three sd cards including a Kingston one.

The error the Phone says that the wrong Main Version is Older.

The only other option I have now to unbrick it is using a goldcard but without the cell phone booting up I am not sure If I can make one.

Now my question.... Is there a way to make a goldcard without my mytouch fender?

If you can make it to the fastboot screen, you're not bricked. Bricked implies you can't do anything, zilch, nada, nothing.

You can still do adb shell in fastboot mode in order to get the info from the phone.

Read the link in my signature very carefully if you're trying to root your fender. There are currently no (working) customized roms for the fender, and your best bet is the rooted stock copy.

ADB shell in fastboot?

are you sure you can use adb shell in fastboot? I thought that was why there were fastboot commands.
Either way if it's possible to make a Goldcard without the phone, I need to know too. I get the "FAILURE remote not allow" error in fastboot with ANY commands and can't boot to recovery...

Unless of course I can use ADB shell in fastboot, then i'm back in business, i'll try it later this evening

OK, I gave it a shot and it does not work, can't use adb shell or any adb commands with the phone in fastboot, must use fastboot commands.
So if anyone here knows how to make a Goldcard without using the phone to make it or can send me a Goldcard from their phone I would greatly appreciate it... I'm SOL without it.

I'm just a tad confused though... if you didn't have a gold card to begin with, how did you get where you are now, since you couldn't flash anything new on a perfected SPL to begin with.

So... It is possible to make the goldcard? I can only access the fastboot menu no the recovery.

If you can't get into shell on the phone you wouldn't be able to generate the code needed to make a goldcard... it should have been the first thing you did before you started to flash anything.

Gold card isnt going to fix this issue. You need to find a rom that is a later version that the one on the phone.

If you know someone with an android phone take your sd card around and get the information you need using their phone. I made mine with a windows CE device using Haret works fine.

The last two times I had to make a goldcard (MT3G LE and MT3G v1) , it seemed to be specific to not only the model of the phone but your exact phone and SD card combination, thus how it generated a code to be decyphered and then written onto the front of the card with the hex editor. So it was my impression that you could not simply make a card with another phone and then use it on yours.

Then the phone is dead right?

Don't give up hope yet... The CID is unique to each card, if you can read the CID from another android phone or even a Palm, WinMo device, etc. then you can still make a Goldcard with your PC and use it in your phone.

From all the research I've done it's just not possible, to get the CID from the Card with your PC.

How sure are you about that. I made a gold card with my 4GB SDHC when I had the MyTouch 3G (white v1), then when I upgraded to the MT3G LE Fender, I could not use the same card again as it was, I had to redo the process and ended up with a new CID on the same card, but diff phone and once I made that a gold card with the new information, then it worked in my Fender. That's why I'm skeptical bout "generic" gold cards.

 

[cmarti]

Well if that's the case is there anyone from this forum (preferebly from the US) that I can mail the phone to so he can fix it for me?

I can pay either via paypal or mailing the money.

Ive been there too, my phone is semi bricked and the only way to unbricked is using goldcard, and im using fedora to see the sdcard CID to make the goldcard. and it works like a charm

* sorry for my bad english

PLEASE Explain !!!
What's Fedora?

Fedora is a distribution of linux, basically sounds like he's saying can get the CID of an SD card from *nix or BSD.

 

[crypysmoker]

Tell you what... The fender has defanately weded out the people who cant pay attention to instructions. If you didnt make a goldcard... How did you downgrade?
You couldnt install a recovery so you didnt wipe, you didnt install another rom over the top..

Id laugh my ass off if you just reboot it and leave it alone and it works.

Sound slike you should stop trying and give your phone to someone who can use it.

Just because he isn't as computer savvy as you doesn't give you the right to belittle him.

Don't be such an ass.
