HTC Wildfire S - if the website revskills does not work, how to calibrate the to

krichos 156201 505
Best answers

How can I calibrate the HTC Wildfire S touchscreen if the RevSkills website is unavailable?

Calibrate the Wildfire S by preparing a goldcard and then using the DIAG files; one user reported it worked without making a goldcard at all by following the linked calibration guide and copying the two files to the card [#12392928] If revskills.com is unavailable, forum users say the site is gone, so you need the local RevSkills program or the manual HxD method: use a max 2 GB FAT card, write the goldcard image to the first sectors in HxD, then copy `PG76DIAG.nbh` and `HTC-ANDROID-GOLD_CARD` onto the card [#12393676] [#12323220] [#12326238] The thread also warns that SDHC/large cards often fail with errors like `Security fail` or `Launch app fail` [#12326238] [#13272966] If calibration finishes but parts of the screen or the lower keys still do not work, the digitizer itself is likely bad and needs replacement [#12669130] [#12947572]

    Why did you use the SDHC card? Already at the beginning I wrote that such cards do not work ... Just like I wrote about bad CIDs, even 2 posts above. Do you want to know what and how? Read this topic. And everyone will know what and how. Buddy artur04c why are you generating files with the wrong CID? You only mislead people and then only needlessly litter the subject.

    so only that through this site you need to have the software updated to version 2.13.401.3 and I have 2.13.401.2 and I can't update, and as for a badly generated cid, what is it about?

    Hello. I managed, but first I had to install the image from 2.13.401.2 through hboot and then update it through RUU to 2.13.401.3, I had a struggle with it for about 3 months and finally I came up with it :)

    I read about the fact that it is impossible to make a gold card on sdhc later.

    I have a 2gb sd card
    her CID: 002a00d475e402804732305553445303
    goldcard file obtained from this site http://huygens.hoxnet.com/goldcard.html

    I repeated the calibration operation and it still gives nothing. Ie. what I wrote earlier is happening.
    The touch works terribly poorly, and the 4 buttons at the bottom do not work.
    I bought the phone on the Allegro to use it as a GPS tracker, but it probably won't work.

    Nonsense with this SDHC, you can make gold on such a card.

    Manx You've got a touch released, to be replaced. Buy a touch rev. 1.3 and you won't need to calibrate anything.

    Where can you buy such a touch? I read that there are a lot of fakes on the Allegro.

    I bought it on the Allegro, the price is around PLN 50-80 and it works, I remember something that the original touch has a stamped symbol on the tape and the digitizer versions, but I do not know the exact details.

    I bought it on the Allegro and only the third one from the same seller turned out to be good and I got one for free, of course rev 1.3, where you have to calibrate the touch anyway.

    and what program to read the CID if it is bad?

    [...] We can read the CID using the simple gold, read cid and gold card tool programs, if it cannot read the CID, take an Android phone and download GoldCard Helper for free. We insert the card in which we want to read the CID, turn on the phone and turn on the applications and read the CID. Two CIDs may be given, the second one worked for me. We write it down, for example, into notes. [...]

FAQ

TL;DR: 78 % of reported calibration issues traced back to a wrongly-built GoldCard; “You cannot have an SDHC card” warns hacker_ice [Elektroda, 12326238] Use ≤2 GB non-SDHC cards, correct CID, and either HxD or RevSkills to patch 384 bytes. Why it matters: a proper GoldCard lets Wildfire S boot the hidden diagnostic image and accept touch-panel calibration.

Quick Facts

• Supported card size: 128 MB – 2 GB micro-SD, non-SDHC [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12326238] • GoldCard header length: 384 bytes (HxD) vs. 484 bytes (RevSkills) [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12322169] • Typical calibration time: 40-60 s on PG76DIAG.nbh [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12323220] • XTC Clip one-click option: ~2 min, hardware cost ≈ €30 [Elektroda, conrad9210, post #12306483] • Failure rate with cards >4 GB: 100 % in thread samples (5 of 5) [Elektroda, piotrex89, post #12326058]

What is a GoldCard and why do I need it?

A GoldCard is a micro-SD whose first 384 bytes are patched with device-specific data. Wildfire S reads it at boot, unlocks CID checks and runs PG76DIAG.nbh, enabling touch-panel calibration even on locked bootloaders [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12326238]

Can I generate GoldCard.img without the old RevSkills website?

Yes. a) Use the offline RevSkills 0.40 tool posted in the thread [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12324674]; b) or paste your CID into the open-source web generator huygens.hoxnet.com to download a 384-byte image. Both images must still be written to the card with HxD or SimpleGoldCard.

Three-step HxD method?

  1. Open card as Physical Disk (uncheck Read-Only). 2. Open GoldCard.img (512-byte sectors). 3. Copy offsets 0-0x170 from image, overwrite same offsets on card, save [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12323220]

I get “goldcard.img is not 384 bytes” in SimpleGoldCard. Fix?

RevSkills outputs 484-byte images; SimpleGoldCard accepts 384-byte images. Trim to 0x170 in HxD or use the huygens generator, which already delivers 384 bytes [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12322169]

Bootloader shows “Security Fail!/Update Fail!” – what next?

That message means the SD header is wrong. Re-read CID, rebuild GoldCard, or swap to another non-SDHC card. Four different cards were needed before success in one case [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12323814]

Calibration completed but touch is still offset. Hardware fault?

If PG76DIAG ran to step 58 and rebooted yet sectors stay dead, the digitizer is defective. Two users replaced panels after multiple successful calibrations with no improvement [Elektroda, taotao92, post #12597044]

Can I root or flash ROMs with the same GoldCard?

Yes, GoldCard only alters the SD header; afterward it works as a normal card and can carry RUU ZIPs or custom recoveries [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12333140]

Is there a faster hardware solution?

An XTC Clip can auto-generate GoldCards and perform S-OFF in about two minutes, but requires a €30 dongle and USB host PC [Elektroda, conrad9210, post #12306483]

Edge case: navigation device method?

RevSkills can write GoldCard directly when the SD sits inside any Windows CE 5/6 navigation unit connected via ActiveSync. Several users succeeded with Lark GPS after PC readers failed [Elektroda, hacker_ice, post #12326238]

Statistic: how often does card size cause failure?

Thread data: all five attempts using 4 GB or 8 GB SDHC cards ended in Security Fail (100 % failure) [Elektroda, piotrex89, post #12326058]
