I cant root my HTC Legend...

- I made goldcard with command ''adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid' instead of 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid' because it could find dirtectory on HTC Legend.

- I turn off and on with 'back' button.

- Run step1-window.bat.

- And wait few hours :P about 3-4 hours.

- After that i received the message :

- And i turn on my Legend , its wi-fi is not working .... sad

Anyone could give me a suggest for my issue? Thanks alot.

A few suggestions:

1. Are you using the original USB cable, this has been the cause in some situations with fastboot for Windows.

2. Are you using direct USB port on the computer, and NOT some USB hub?

3. Try another USB port on the computer (without a USB hub still).

You should read previous posts.

We we're at least two with the same problem. We used Linux and it works. Download a Ubuntu iso, stick it in a VM and there you go.

Hi Paul,

You said you don't have the 1.32 rom so obviously you can cannot work on it, is there a way I can dump it from my phone?

I don't wanna be breathing down your neck, but I (and lots of others) "can't" wait for removing the damn SFR rom from my phone.

By the way it's seems it's only us french SFR users who have this version, or are they any others?

thanks.

Unfortunately no, you can't dump it in a way that I could use! :P

Hi anyone stuck at Goldcard stage? I have followed the guide with multiple cards including a Kingston 2gb to no avail, I always get the 'not found' reply after $ 'cat/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid' no quotes! I have tried both mmc1 and mmc0 lines and debugging is selected and I do pick up the adb device yet still no joy! Can someone tell me at what stage in the process you become aware if the sd card is not suited for goldcard creation? Also just so i'm sure at the pop up screen on the handset when usb connects which of the 4 options if any need to be selected? I also tried Terminal Emulator this also results in a 'not found' reply!

I noticed you didnt provide a space after the cat command, you enter this to get the CID on the Legend:

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid

Yes you are quite right! I have spent 2 days messing with this and now I am now in a state of panic as I have now got stuck on black screen with red triangle! Device appears to have diconnected from pc at stage 2 and I'm not sure how I should progress the power button is inactive and I am not sure if it is safe to remove battery at this stage!

Please help !

I made a goldcard for my Legend last week so i could unbrand it. Can I use this coldgard also in this procedure or do I'll have to make another one?

From what I understand, once the phone is rooted you don't need to worry about using a goldcard, but either way, once you have made the goldcard for your phone, it doesn't matter what you want to install with it, it's good to go.

I have managed to reboot to previous state after pushing up and the power button! Now what should I do to succeed with step '2' It appears as if a driver is missing thus connection with phone is lost in recovery mode is this a typical situation? I am afraid to wipe the phone at this point! so have reverted back with reboot option!

HELP!

Check Device Manager to ensure you have your device installed. Are you on Windows or another OS?

Can anyone tell me what to do now?

About to start flash...

< waiting for device >

sending 'zip' (121756 KB)... OKAY

writing 'zip'...

Tried rebooting phone and windows. Always stuck at writing zip.

Any suggestions?

I'm using win7 32bit.

Best Regards Liquid211

EDIT

Found that the .bat for windows contained the same line two times. The line is fastboot-windows.exe flash zip testimage.zip when I deleted the second line it worked.

Anyone got wifi tethering working? I get 4 errors when starting it. I'm running with the r1 legend custom rom from modaco. Any advice would be appreciated.
