Newbie question about installing Artemis Touch 4.01 - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi there,I have an xda orbit and would like to install Artemis Touch 4.01. I have recently updated from wm5 to wm6. I have a 2gb micro sd card and I'm getting a little confused about the first step in the installation process "1. Copy SDConfig.txt to root of storage card (omit this step if you have a SDHC card)" Is this a path on my phone? And if so how and where do i locate it in my directory to copy it to my micro sd card? Also do I then remove the micro sd card as suggested in the second step (as I dont believe my sd card is of the sdhc type)? And finally I havent previously cid unlocked my device, does step one for process three unlock my device such as the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403? Sorry for my newbie questions but any help would be much appreciated and hopefully make it clear for any others that may be confused!
Many Thanks!

As I understand it, SDConfig.txt is used for user customisation i.e. if you want some programs installed at the end of the flashing process (If I'm mistaken then I'm sure someone will correct me). I've flashed my device without this and all is well.
Step 1 does indeed do the CID unlocking. Once you device reboot after this process watch the screen to ensure SPL is 1.11.... If that is the case go to step 2.
Also, remember to back up everything you need to keep with PPCPimBackup or something because you will lose everything from main memory.
Finally, you don't need to remove the 2Gig card,

SD Card & WM6 ROM Procedure Question(s)

Hi All,
I looked, but did not see the answers for this. I have not used the SD card update procedure before, although it seemed to work fine on my Axim X50v. Can someone tell me:
1. When I do a hard reset in the future, do I follow the SD card procedure or the normal steps?
2. Is it okay for me to erase the ROM files from my SD card or should I leave them alone?
3. My machine is working perfectly, ay least to my needs, on the WM6 A03 ROM. However, it freezes when trying to read the CD card. Is this representative the filesys problem you have been discussing here?
TIA for your help and thanks to those who worked so hard to create/revamp this program.

Upgrade to 8gb card

Guess the answer is somewhere, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction, how do you upgrade an Orbit to take an 8gb memory card? Thanks.
Get the SDHC patch, install it, soft reset and then insert the card. If you use the search function or look through the first two or three pages of the Artemis sub-forums you'll notice that you are not the first that asked this question
Flashed mine with Meschle Touch flash and bought an 8 GB Sandisk microSD, working perfectly.
I bought a Sandisk 8gb MICROSDHC card for my phone but the phone refuses to work with it. I've tried flasing my Orbit today which is on WM5 btw with the SDHC_WM6WM5.zip from this web-site but I'm having no luck. I can run the two cab files which look like there doing something, I then reboot the phone but still the phone does not see the memory card. The Windows folder within the SDHC_WM6WM5.zip has two files in there one called sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll. According the the txt file within the zip file I am supposed to extract both the files to my windows directory on the main memory of the phone but unfortunately I cannot because on one of the files the SDBUS.DLL it complains of it being used by the system. I've tried reboots on the phone, factory defaulted it back, safe mode (kicking it), but still no joy.
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP!!
Use this file: http://members.cable24.at/immogroup/HTC-P3300/SDHC-Artemis.cab and then soft reset.
If you ever upgrade your firmware be sure to take out the SDHC card - otherwise it won't even go to bootloader correctly.
Thanks for the link Registerme it's all sorted now.

[Q] HTC Desire how to create gold card without phone?

I attempted to manually update to Froyo on a rooted (came to me that way) HTC Desire.
I used the manual method described at geekword.net (google for it, I can't post links)
Unfortunately, I didn't know I was meant to use a gold card for the update.
So what I ended up with is a failed Froyo update, after the post-update reboot, the progress count will never get to 100%, as the phone goes into a reboot loop.
This wouldn't be an issue if I could reattempt the update with a gold card - unfortunately, in its current state the phone can't even see the sd card for whatever reason - the card isn't corrupt as I can continue to run the update.zip file from it - not that it helps.
With the phone connected to the PC, I don't have option to mount as disk drive. I can get the CID using Klutsh's Gold Card tool, but because I can't mount the phone, I can't copy the gold card image over.
Is there anyway to get the image over to the sd card and complete the gold card creation without going via the phone?
I dont really know for sure what the answer is to your problem mate but in the hope of getting this thread started I would be looking to download the original branded ROM and restore it through the bootloader menu so that you can start over. This may or may not work but its what I would be researching first.
When i made my gold card, i had the MicroSD in the phone to get the CID, but then i wrote the image to it using a MircoSD-to-SD adapter, just using the built in SD card reader on my laptop. Hope this helps.

jamesmcuk > I tried a stock Telstra rom (this is an Aus phone) found online, it came back with something along the lines of 'wrong bootloader version'. I have a feeling that bootloader for the phone was upgraded either during the first root (by the previous owner) or upgraded when I updated to Froyo.
Are there any official rollback methods for failed Froyo updates?
JPDyno > Could you please outline the procedure used to copy the image over to the micro SD? I have a goldcard.img file from the procedure that I've performed to date. Do I copy the img file over using a imageburner? Do I need to partition the sd card or anything? Kinda lost as to the steps since I thought the Klutsh tool would take care of the copying for me - but it needed connection to the phone.
Thank you both for your replies, hopefully I don't have a fancy brick on my hands
Your phone should have come with a MicroSD card adapter, which looks like a normal sized SD Card, with a slot at the back to insert your microSD into. So you take out your MicroSD card from the phone, slide it into the small slot on the adapter, and slide the adapter into your SD Card reader slot on your laptop/desktop. If you dont have an SD Card reader slot you'll need to get a USB SD or microSD card reader. Once you plug it in it'll automatically detect the card as a disk drive in My Computer. Then you can follow the steps in the Goldcard Guide (install and run the Hex Editor...open the disk drive and the img in the Hex editor and copy stuff over...yada yada...)
Just out of interest does it still do a constant reboot if you remove either or both the SIM and the SD Card.
Also I found this guide for restoring the Nexus 1 which being so similar should contain some good info although you will need to find the ROM for the desire rather than the ones they post.

Yay, got it working!
Thanks for the prompt replies guys.
I followed the suggestions here (in using the sd card reader on my laptop), and used the steps starting with HxD from:
android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard
I managed to get a goldcard, and successfully updated to froyo!
p.s. the phone reboots even without a sim card - never tried without the sd card though - I needed it since the update.zip was from the sd.
Now onto exploring Froyo!
For all of those still wishing to make a goldcard sans phone, you can also find it here

Get CID
At first I could not get the CID as well. The problem was, that I was in Fastboot mode. After changing into Recovery mode, I was able to use "adb shell" and then cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid to get my CID.
So now you can start to make your own Goldcard.

[Q] How to upgrade SD card, for MIUI+ ROM?

Hi there, first of all I must say this is such a great forum so many resources and info, amazing stuff.
Sorry for the noob question but I am planning to replace my 8gb card for a 32Gb one.
I have installed the Miui+ GTj94 V3.0 Rom how should I proceed to have it up and running, do I need to partition?
Is there any App I should install to help me with this task, and which steps should I follow?
Thanks in advance, any info help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

[Q] Changing sd cards after ace hack kit - advice needed

Hi there,
I hope someone can give me a little advice on this matter as I can't find the answers I'm looking for so far.
I have basically flashed my first rom on my dhd using ace hack kit to root and s-off my device and make a goldcard as it was locked to t-mobile. Everything has worked fine and I flashed runnydroid no problem at all. Becuse It was my first time flashing I used a new 8gb sd card so I could start fresh. I have filled this sd card up really quickly and would like to swap it for my 16gb card I am wondering if this will cause issues with the gold card and other files.
If I clean my new card can I just transfer all files over from the current sd card can I just carry on or will the card need to be partitioned and so on? Can someone just give me a heads up on what I need to do?
Thanks in advance

You should be fine with the goldcard thing! If not just redo the process. HOWEVER! When you move the files from the old SD card to the new one remember to take ALL the files. Including hidden ones. Very important!

You can format your SD card after doing the rooting. You can make gold card any time. If you still sceptical about this keep all the files somewhere safe. Specially the file start with "part7" which contains important information regarding partition when stock ROM was installed. This is most important file, rest you can delete IMO. SD card doesn't need any partition, just format it with FAT32.
Be gracious, hit "Thanks" if my post helped you.
