If you use Gold card to debrand and then upgrade OTA to froyo on HTC desire stock rom you will need to keep the gold card in place for any future OTA upgrade.
It will remove root (assuming it completes). You don't need a gold card if still on the Orange stock ROM
Ah thanks I am on the orange rom I'm not bothered about root.

Hi,
I have an Orange Branded Desire.
I have made a goldcard for it, and then had flash it with latest HTC stock rom with success.
What I would like to know is since my Desire is now flashed with a stock htc rom, will i need my gold card for future flashing and/or rooting???
Yepp you will need it in every flash!
So does it mean my cid has not been changed by the flash of a stock rom?
If yes is there a way to change cid?

Cid is Tom Sawyer brother! (...)
Cid is an identification number that is used to identify your phone (branded or not)

You need a gold card if your phone was branded when you got it
Ok forgot the detAils.
I have an Orange unlocked phone, means I use whatever sim I want. It was ota froyo updated.
I rooted using unrevoked3, so I can get rid of Orange crap, thus the stock rooted froyo ROM from xda was used. But when I try newest WWE stock froyo 2.29 I get this error.
So how come this unmoded stock from xda works without goldcard?

You can't, you need a gold card to change to ANY RUU other than the Orange one
Ok ill look into goldcard but why the stock rooted Rom workd from xda.
If I use goldcard OTA will work ? or I need to use goldcard everytime

Because it's a custom ROM, if you want to go to a stock WWE ROM you need a gold card. The OTA might work, you'll need to turn off signature checking in Clockwork Mod, but it likely cause issues
Ok thanks I'm mAking a custom Rom as stock possible now, or will try.

Stock or custom? Either way, glad you're working
Hey guys, I'm getting wildfire with Vodafone branding.
If I flashed a custom Rom, would it unbrand it, or would I have to use a goldcard method?
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Custom ROMs will debrand it. But, you will probably have to debrand it anyway using a Goldcard, because AlphaRev X is not working on all branded Wildfire's bootloaders.
How would I make one?

Follow this guide, it will install a generic unbranded WWE ROM, as well as prepare your device for use with AlphaRev X, should you go for it:

Thanks, its gotta be rooted first to do the debranding, is there any way of doing this easy.

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

Either that or if you don't care about root, flash pc10img of ota gb.

Could this operation "erase" root and s-off too?
Thanks!
You will lose root and your custom recovery as this will set everything to stock, but you will still be S-OFF and it will be easy to root again

But it's not working. I tried it on my Desire HD (with ARHD 7.0.4) and I got error.

Have you tried what happens what happens if you press recover? And is your phone a telus desire HD or was it branded when you first got it?
And make sure it's on charge only mode when you connect it to your computer.

I have not tried to press recover. Yes, the phone was branded and it was Vodafone. Now I'am using ARHD 6.3.3 (because 7.0.4 is not stable and buggy). Kernel 2.6.35.14, baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M, build number 3.12.405.1.
Well that could be the problem. you need the ruu for branded Vodafone, but you should be able to run that ruu if you got a goldcard.
Do you have a goldcard?

I don't know, maybe. When I bought it, it was sim free, unlocked.
Where are you from? (Where is the Vodafone phone from?)
