Goldcard is actually pretty easy. Just follow our How To Create a Goldcard procedure on the site word for word. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Good luck! Joop,

Wish someone would focus on a 1.6 root and leave 1.5 in the past.

Good luck! Roberto,

Particularly problems with the radio install. At this point I just want to get the phone back to factory and let the T-mobile updates take it back up to cupcake. I successfully took it back to RC29 per your procedure (thank you!) but when the phone said it was ready for updating this morning the update failed and the phone is still at rc29. I then tried your update procedures to take it up to donut and then cupcake but failed. After bring the phone back to rc29 I did the one touch root. Is this what is preventing the update from installing correctly? Should I try rc29 again and not do the one touch root. is there a way to undo the one touch root with out having to do the rc29 backup again. It took many tries to get the rc29 file to take before getting past the rainbow screen and the error 10 message.
