************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

You don't seem to have a Web Browser set as Default, You can manually go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard

Reading adb output

Could not locate CID in output

Anyone have some tips what to do?

[Guest scorror]

im having problems too, i can get the cid, and select the mmc, but get errors when i click patch, done everything properly, just doesnt work, doesnt work either if i try to create a goldcard manually, tried different sd cards, still the same, is it possibly because im using a sony vaio laptop with a built in card reader, so the phone sd comes up as a logical disk and not a removable one?

The error i get with goldcard tool is when i click patch mmc;

An error occured Object reference not set to and instance of a object.

[/qu

i'm also getting the error message, please coud someone explain what caused this and how to resolve it. Thanks in advance, i'm a newbie.

[Guest scorror]

i tried your steps again but still objects no reference....... Curiously, when i used the device manager checking drivers on my HTC desire, it says drivers installed by HTC and the version number of it. The question i want to ask is if the HTC drivers and adb drivers are the same or not.

[Guest ShadowFlare]

Thanks a lot mate. It worked without a hitch on my HTC Desire.

Just one thing. The tool gives output like

----------------------

CID: xxxxxxxxxxx

reversing CID:

CID: yyyyyyyyyyy

It might be better to differentiate between the two or explain in the instructions which CID is the valid one.

Thanks again.

[Guest Droidzone]

Any should work.

Your only patching Sector 0 of the microSD, no actual files go on the card.

Is there any way to get a CID without adb? I ask because I have softbricked my Desire. Now only fastboot works. Adb does not return device

[Guest yikes_001]

Wonderful application! works like charm! Thanks to you, I got gold card and installed Froyo on my Desire!

Thanks

[Guest mbba]

i cat belive this i actually managed to root it wit the rom manager in the market but before i did that i used androot which gave me a super permission that made a big diffrence no need of adb to root 2.1 update. if you have a super permission apk just download the rom manager from the market and you done grat work guys thanks for making the part of my brain which was not working tick. cheers and keep on trollin paul.
