Hi there, For the past few hours I've been trying to create a goldcard with no succes. So far I tried 3 different SD cards (2gb sandisk, 8gb sandisk that came with the phone and a 1gb noname one) and none of them works so I'm kinda wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

First things first. Syncing doesnt work. I got it to finally recognize the sync but thats about it. However I do get the Device ID and everything.

When I format the disk using the phone, there is actually still data on it. Is it supposed to be this way? Can't I format it from within windows?

Second is the unlockr guide. Now English is not my native language but at some point the guide is rather unclear. Once you get the CID code, you have to reverse it the site will automatically add 2 0's. However the next step tells you to change the first 2 digets into 0's. But they already are 0's right? So what do I do? Leave it? change the first 2 digets after the 0's to 0's? (actually I tried both and it didn't work).

Also the guide is just wrong at the point where it tells you to retry the hex thing. If it didn't work the sdcard is damaged and there is no point in trying again because it wont show the correct data anymore. And there isn't actually a point 19 while the writer suggests there is ;)

Sooo is it me doing something wrong or is it a sd card problem? I tried doing it on both win7 x64 and XP.

If it is a sd card problem, what card should I buy? If 3 different cards don't work I get the feeling its more of a lottery than anything else to get a working card but I really don't feel like buying a dozen of sd cards and hope I get lucky. Is there a certain brand/size that will work for sure?
