arrggghhhhh i keep getting this "cat is not recognized as an internal or external command" blah blah blah. Its driving me insane!!
Can someone give me any ideas of what is going wrong?


4. Get your GoldCard image!

The GoldCard bypasses some weird check on the phone and allows you to flash ROMs that are otherwise rejected, due to them being older versions, or some other reason that HTC decided it'd be so.

With the USB cable plugged in, open the notifications shade and tap HTC Sync. It doesn't matter if it can't sync, but what matters is you can enter the adb shell. If you don't know how, you haven't done step 0.

Now, go in adb shell and run this command:
Code:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
The output is your microSD card's serial number. Right click anywhere in the command prompt, and click on Mark. Then, select the serial number, and right click. The serial is now copied into the clipboard, so open up Notepad and paste it there.

Now, with that serial number written down, paste it into my lame GoldCard hex reverse. Please credit me if you use that page in your guide!

Next, do as my page says, grab the reversed serial number and get your GoldCard image with it.
