= flashgc (by skorgon) =

flashgc is a tool for the HTC android phones to create a goldcard directly on the phone without the use of a external card reader or external service.

It creates the goldcard image standalone and writes it to the micro-sdcard that is in the phone.

'''Note'''
Running flashgc without options will generate and install the goldcard image to your sdcard and creade a backup file of the first 512bit of the sdcard in your current directory that is called sdcardMbr-backup.img.

So make sure that you either run flashgc from a writable directory like /data/local/tmp or specify the --backupfile option.
