IF YOU ARE STUCK ON THE Step2-windows.bat, it is very simple.

Make your goldcard again,
place it into phone and do step 1, but when finished you must take out gold card and replace with another sd card.
Then plug back in, boot phone whilst holding back, and navigate to the recover ! screen.

They missed this step out of the instructions.

DO NOT LEAVE GOLDCARD IN FOR STEP2-WINDOWS.BAT

Batch file 1 when run from cmd prompt shows this message when it completes:

Failed: (remote: 43 main version check fail)

When Batch file 2 is run it says error: device offline.

Has anyone figured out how to get around this?

Hi, I can’t get this to work for my HTC Legend, most of the step 1 batch file seems to work until it gets to the end with this message:

FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)

Then Step 2 gives this message:

C:r4-legend-root>step2-windows.bat
Legend Root Step 2
Pushing required files to device…
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device offline
error: device offline
Pushing update file to device sdcard – this may take a few minutes…
error: device offline
error: device offline
Now wipe and apply rootedupdate.zip from the recovery image menu.
error: device not found
C:r4-legend-root>

Any ideas? I’ve tried it on windows xp and windows 7, I’ve got the correct older version of htc sync installed (2.0.33).

I’m having trouble creating a gold card. I even went out and bought the Kingston 2 gig. After I edit with the hex editor it cannot be read and the comp asks for me to reformat it again. I’m 100% positive the CID code is right too. Please help
