Hi there!
i succesfully managed to flash my Htc desire to leedroid,
But, as i switch from 1Gb card to my 16Gb card i get stuck at the Bootloading..
My 1Gb card was the original Goldcard.
After a while i made the 16Gb to a goldcard, but i still fail to boot up my phone with the 16Gb card.
I've lost the track of how many times i've reflashed the phone.
I've only tried with the LeeDroid 2.1a A2SD and no other ROM's exept with failurs with RUU.
(with the RUU I flashed the Radio back to the original radio version but i still can't install it, but it said that i can't downgrade..)
But the main Question is: How do i make my second card to work?
(Btw how do i get the battery A in the pics on the thread about the Leedroid??)

I'm using [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team) with a 2gb standard goldcard, I wanted to upgraded to a larger hc sd card for movies etc, I have a desire which is unbranded/unlocked from the time of purchase.
If I take out the current 2gb sd and put in a 4gb hc phone stays at htc logo, so question is how can I upgrade without going back to stock ROM, as I need to boot the phone with the new sd so I can make higher capacity goldcard ?
Thanks
Derek
Your phone is unbranded?
You shouldn't need a goldcard unless you brought your phone from some store which bloats their phones with rubbish, and put the logo everywhere on the phone.
Chances are you have to do a factory wipe, as the phone is properly searching for the apps stored on the SDCard, and cant find anything, confusing it.
Try leaving it to boot for about 5-10 mins, sometimes 20mins in some cases, and see if it can figure out that it's a new card.
If not, factory wipe, but nandroid the system to the old SDcard 1st, wipe, insert new SDCard, partition the new one (either with RomManager, Recovery Image, or GParted LiveCD), then move the nandroid backup from the old card to new card, and restore
hope this helps
Danifamous touched on it...I had this problem when I first decided to root my desire. Your problem isn't needing a gold card
The phone is searching for a EXT partition on the SD card. Chances are you don't have it if the SD is new. Either make one...Linux or amonra recovery are good and easy options - I used amonra the other day when I had problems.
I'm not sure but you might be able to get away without wipes...of course the new SD will be formatted though

Hi,
I have created a gold card, and at first it was working fine, however I had to format it for all kind of reasons.
After the use as a normal SD card, I wanted to upgrade to a different Rom, so I had to create the gold card again. I did, but now it seems not to be working as it is intended. Using the RUU exe of HTC the program report Error 131 customer id. Looking in the different forums I conclude that the gold card is not recognized as gold card. I have rebuild it several times, even tried other gold images with different cards, so I recreated the cards all over again, but still no luck. Even tried to do it via different machines and SD readers, but no luck.
Is there a way to determine that the gold card is working properly, or to check it before you start upgrading to a different Rom?
Hope someone has an answer, or is triggered by my question to build a application to check the gold card.
Regards
Gerard
Hi there, I'm guessing you are rooted. I don't believe u need the goldcard to put a different Rom on yr device. I created mine before I rooted then when that all went well I took it out and put a bigger card in. I simply store Roms I like on the SD card and install them via fakeflash or download via Rom manager. I have flashed several times successfully without it

Hi there,
Yes my phone is rooted, but I was able to upgrade to 1.21 using RUU from HTC with the gold card coming from 1.19 vodafone. Now I want to go to 2.09 or to another ROM, and I am not able to do so, because of the Customer ID error 131. The official update OTA 2.09 is in a loop after downloading, so that is not working either.
I think I can upgrade using a gold card, however gold card creation is not working as explained in my first post.
Thx for your support, and hope to get answer to my first post.
Can anyone help me please.
I have an O2 UK HTC Desire with an SLCD screen

I have created a gold card using the GoldCardTool. (got success message)
I am trying to flash

so that I get rid of that horrible O2 boot screen, but I keep getting the error 131: Customer ID error with the message to use the correct ROM
Can any please help ...
re-create your goldcard and try again.
I tried creating another gold card (with another micro sd) but i think might have messed it as it says cannot read CID
what can I do?

Try the manual way: http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/
GoldCard tool was made when I had a Hero, never fully tested on the Desire.
no luck as well with original method
getting cannot read message
Anymore suggestions?

Yeah, I get that too. As new HTC Desire on O2 (not sure which screen version) installing RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.
Goldcard created fine on formatted 2gb card, starts to send rom to phone then errors out. USB debugging mode on.
The error means you haven't created the goldcard correctly.
OK, I made a few mistakes (hey, it's one way to learn!)
1. Goldcard: I missed the fact the CID is returned at the top of the app and thought you had to pull it out of the debug log. So I copied CID instead of reversed CID. I sent the CID and received back the image which I patched and was told was successful even though the CID was wrong.
2. I read on androidforums that some people only had success when using their supplied with phone 4gb card, it was when I was recreating my goldcard with the 4gb sd card I discovered my error with the previous goldcard (issue 1 above)
3. Finally I flashed with an amoled rom, but thankfully quickly found an slcd rom and my desire is now updating to 2.2.
Bye bye O2 shackles, hello froyo!
Question- now that I have my unit back up and running with the gold card, how do I format the SD card for apps2SD and gaining more free RAM?
Hi,
I have been using HTC Desire A8183 for a while and have just swapped to A8181 for Optus network. I have taken out my 32Gb Card from the A8183 and placed it in the new A8181 after I have rooted and flash AmonRA V2.0 recovery. Except I cannot get into recovery from Vol - plus Power button unless I wait a long time for it to look for PD99DIAG.ZIP image which it does not find. If I put a smaller 2Gb sd card in it is fine and goes through to recovery quickly.
Can someone please help and steer me in the right direction, is it a problem with the SD card, am I missing something?
And yes its the new Desire PVT4 (40000) if this makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.
Have a look on your 32GB card for the PD99 file. I guess it is sorting through it if there is one. If it's bothering you that much, backup your SD card, then just format it and see if that works. But please backup.
Thanks I had a look and could not see the File, should it be in the root of the sdcard?

Only if your looking to update something.

the PB files are stock images and unless you have one on the SD card it shouldn't find one. The only time you'd use a PB99IMG.zip is when flashing it after extracting it from an RUU as you can't get an RUU to run
You also can't change from from A8181 to A8183
Thanks For your input and understand what you are saying I just don't know why my phones spend 10 minutes scanning for this image before loading the recovery. It should see there is no file and go straight to the recovery. Funny thing is I put a 2gb micro SD in with nothing in it and no problems straight into recovery, put my 16gb or 32gb micro SD in and I have to wait for this process of searching for this pb99diag image and nhh file etc. I don't understand is it the large size micro SD causing this?

I am also having this problem, but it started only after I partitioned my SD card with GPart into EXT, Swap and FAT32 partitions and then installed the MIUI FROYO ROM

Sorry to comment on my own post but I resolved the above problem by doing a Clockworkmod backup, Wiping User data & Dalvik cache and then flashing xavierjohn22's "MIUI XJ A2SD/A2SD+ 1.3.25 - 2.3 x1"
This was a PIA as I had to re install Titanium Backup, but then, at least I was able to use it to recover most of my data and apps from the TB backup made before my Superuser became corrupt.
The upside is that I now have the Excellent Gingerbread version of MIUI.
Recently I flashed the latest LeeDroid rom to my HTC Desire... All was working fine until the intro screen began to loop, following the thread I applied the patch to correct the problem. However now due to the many complications with Leedroid I wanted to restore my backup! But i cant as now my phone will not detect my SD card, however my PC will?
Any suggestions? Im desperate here!
Thanks guys!

It probably doesn't detect your SD card, as Leedroid, if I understand, requires specific partitions on the SD card, which I might guess you don't have. Or, you jimmied your sd card partitions, which is why you can't use it.
I would copy the sd card to the pc, partition your sd card as leedroid recommends, then copy your info back.
