Root without goldcard? - Desire General

I am really grateful that a root has been found. However as my card reader is broken, I am currently unable to make a goldcard and so cannot root frustratingly. Does anyone know of a way to root without one please? Thanks in advance.

Not possible, sorry!
But then again, you don't need a card reader, you can use the phone (that's how I did it). Just follow the Modaco guide.

Sorry I am not actually a member of Modaco, do you think you could the link for the guide ( I assume you mean for creating goldcard in phone.) Cheers.

A more detailed guide here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
(ignore the parts about the cardreader)

Thanks, but what I mean is that in the end the SD card need s to be connected to the computer and I can't do this last bit.

Pretend that your phone is the card reader Mount it as storage as you would when you add music or files to it. (not sync or charge obviously) and follow the guide.
Good luck

Ahh that may've been where I went wrong, I didnt mount as stroraage. Will try, thanks.

No, get a card reader, put the image file on it (rename it per the instrucitons) and enter bootloader.

as far as i know the only htc that supports sd flash is the wallaby. although you should find a cable for a reasonable price on ebay.
sorry misunderstood that, your first post is not very clear.

That is not correct. Lots of devices allow you to flash via SD card, including the BA. The only catch is that in order to prepare a card for flashing, you have to have the BA connected to the computer. There is a series of mtty commands that need to be input in order to get the card to be "bootable" for SD flashing. I will post a procedure I found the other day if there is enough interest.
BTW, ares93... this is not in the wiki...

i would appreciate, if you posted a confirmed way to flash from the sd card, because i am running windows 7 x64 and up to now, i have not managed to flash with it... or vmware, virtual pc xp mode or virtualbox for that matter. i would love to try that. even if it means, preparing the sd card with an xp machine for once, assuming that mtty does not work with 7 either, because of the lack of bootloader support.
and please don't post links on how to flash in windows 7, tried all of them, don't work for me.

if it wasn't in the wiki it's probably the reason i don't know about it.
a guide would be great 'cause i'm quite new to flashing pda's. i could use all the info i get cell's aren't a problem but with pda's there are so damn many variations... btw since you have to connect it to a computer to be able to flash via sd, doesn't it kind of kill the point of doing it that way? its designed quite stupidly don't you think?

Hey Chef,
Follow this link
http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Blue Angel Service Manual.pdf
This is the service manual for the Blue Angel directly from HTC. Towards the end, there is a section that speaks about flashing a rom from SD. The only drawback is that you have to have your device connected to the computer, which kinda beats the whole point of using a SD card. I might take it for a spin just to see if it works.
thanks, i have linked that exact service manual dozens of times for people with hardware issues, but i've never actually read it, because i never had to open my device. i didn't even know there was information like that in there thank you, i will definetely give it a try, as soon as there is a new rom.
upgrade from SD card
Hi.
Well I read this forum since I have a Blue Angle but no cable. So basicaly I cannot connect it to the computer. I was thinking if somebody can prepare an SD card for upgrade than make an image out of it and share it, than maybe this will sort the threader problem. (And my too).
Thank you.

You using an adapter?
Try this.
If not then try to re-format your card.
Simple really.....read the sticky and fully understand before you start.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
Basically the steps to read up on are:
1) make your sdcard into a GOLD CARD.
2) ROOT using Unrevoked.
3) Make a NANDROID backup of your existing rom.
4) if you want full system read and write access then S-OFF with Alpharev.nl

DFrouter fix, yes this actually puts hd7*schubert) back in zune mode :)

Hey guys,
I wanted to share a solution I came up with that actually worked in putting the phone back in zune mode. you have to buy a Y cable and a gold card. the process is fairly straightforward and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Check out my blog post here

Works great! Thanks man.
Guys, if a detailed tutorial is needed with a cheeper way of doing that without buying the XTC CHIP - tell me and i'll write something.
Finally I can deploy Apps !!!!!
Ofir.
Hey ofir
You do not need the xtc clip. Just any preprogrammed SD card or create a gold card yourself. The entire setup cost less than $30. Well worth it.

Yes, I know. I've used about 5$ to setup the necessary for fixing the device.
But the tutorials wasn't so good, that's why I've suggested to write a proper guide.
Ofir.
Thanks Ceeshism. I wish there were less condescending people on this site like ofir here, who after reading this post will only reply with another argument.
Can we just do the hd7 hard reset for it.Cause i use the dfrouter now i can't connect to my pc or even zune.
Edit: I try hard reset it didn't work.

just copy the file on a gold card.
connect the goldcard using a Y-Cable to the phone (one side to phone,one side to goldcard,one side to powersource )
then bring phone in tri color (bootloader mode)
it should automatically see the goldcard and the diag file gets loaded.
follow instructions on screen.
ok thanks.
The problem is creating the goldcard although i have copy the 2 files in my m2 memory card from my multicard reader.

"m2 memory card" ?
only sd cards will work and only smaller then 1 GB
"multicard reader" you can't use that one , it need to be a "microsd card reader"
(something like this " http://www.varologic.com/blog/post/...oduces-new-MicroSD-Micro-USB-Card-Reader.aspx " )
