Root without goldcard?

I am really grateful that a root has been found. However as my card reader is broken, I am currently unable to make a goldcard and so cannot root frustratingly. Does anyone know of a way to root without one please? Thanks in advance.

Not possible, sorry!
But then again, you don't need a card reader, you can use the phone (that's how I did it). Just follow the Modaco guide.

Sorry I am not actually a member of Modaco, do you think you could the link for the guide ( I assume you mean for creating goldcard in phone.) Cheers.

A more detailed guide here:

(ignore the parts about the cardreader)

Thanks, but what I mean is that in the end the SD card need s to be connected to the computer and I can't do this last bit.

Pretend that your phone is the card reader Mount it as storage as you would when you add music or files to it. (not sync or charge obviously) and follow the guide.
Good luck

Ahh that may've been where I went wrong, I didnt mount as stroraage. Will try, thanks.

[Q] Question : Downgrade Hboot

I got the tutorials to downgrade form hboot .92 to .80.
Using Unbranded Desire and Amoled screen.
All precaution already been taken.
But when i load the .zip file into the SD card, it wont be detected in the Hboot menu.
I wonder if anyone can share their expert opinion lolz~
Thanks anyone that is willing to reply

I used this tutorial when i downgraded, worked without any problems.
(did not use a gold card though, since i had a unbranded phone)
Good Luck

The zip needs to be called PB99IMG.zip (or something like that, refer to the guide) and not PB99IMG.zip.zip - make sure it's named correctly and it's on the root of your SD card and not in a folder

RUU on a Mac

Ive seen the program OpenRUU but can anyone tell me how to use it?
i want to flash from software 2.09 to 2.10 or above? is this possible? im rooted thru unrevoked but running a stock rom. Other than a gold card do i need anything else to use this program? and even if the ruu fails, it will not damage my phone?
thanks, adbird
EDIT: Actually do i need a gold card, my phone used to be branded under telus, but then i flashed a couple roms and eventually flashed the stock WWE rom, so do i need a gold card?

I have no experience with Mac but if you can't use a RUU, there is the PB99IMG.zip(which you can find using windows when the RUU is extracted) method which functions pretty much the same.
As for the gold card, you do need one, - debranding a branded handset doesn't make it unbranded .
Some people confuse "debranded" and "unbranded".

k thanks i guess i gotta go buy another sd card :/

There is no problem in making your regular card in the device, your goldcard, i.e., you don't need a dedicated microSD for gold card use exclusively .

but isnt clockworkmod kept on the sd? what if you format it

If I understand you correctly, you want to flash "2.10 or above".
Make a your card a goldcard ;
Put the ROM you want to install in the root of the memory card (/sdcard/ - in other words it should not be in any folder);
Make sure that the rom is renamed from something like "PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip" to "PB99IMG.zip" (zip is the extension, not part of the name);
Turn off the phone;
Turn on the phone while holding volume down, it should be recognized and you'll be asked to apply it.

will that unroot the device?

This might work for you
It helps flashing RUU's
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Transfer the file PB99IMG to the root of your SD card (It is located in the extracted files)
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Yes, flashing a RUU unroots the phone.
But rooting again is easy.

[Q] can't downgrade, bootloader does not recognize PC10IMG.zip

Situation:
I decided to root my phone this morning, spend hours reading guides and decided to try the AMT, everything runs fine till the point where I'm ready to downgrade after applying a temp root, the bootloader recognized PC10IMG.zip which I obtained from RUU but failed with an error 'CID does not match' and from the guide that I'm using it says that I need goldcard.
I check my CID using AMT and it return HTC__044 which is the reason why I need to create the gold card, so then I create a goldcard in another spare card that I got, copied my PC10IMG.zip and redo all the step with a goldcard loaded, now the problem is that the bootloader now does not recognize PC10IMG.zip anymore.
Can someone point out a solution prior to my problem? Would it happens because I create a wrong goldcard?

Are you using a smaller MicroSD card? I noticed that flashing PC10IMG.zip files only seems to work on MicroSDHC cards. That should be 4GB or larger.

You are right, I'm using a 2gb micro sd, will try with my 8gb micro sdhc, will report back.

I think I've read somewhere that several users had problem with file extension, however I believe it's not my case. I do use windows however I turn on the file extension view in folder option, thus I rename my file PC10IMG.zip and I also confirm the name change in astro file manager it's exactly PC10IMG.zip.
So the renaming works with you? I'll check my file name again later this afternoon at lunch break

thanks guys for the reply, it's now confirmed that the problem is my goldcard.
To recap what has happened with hope it will help people with the same problem:
1. Any Micro SD will works, but keep it minimum 1Gb
2. Format with FAT32
3. When you already get CID, split the code into pairs and reverse the order of the pair
i.e. 12345678 split it into 12 34 56 78 then reverse the order while other guide simply said 'reverse' which is ambiguous, to demonstrate my example 78 56 34 12. Next what you need to do is to put this code into http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
3.a if you use goldcard helper, which is what I recommend, take note the code in mmc2 instead of using the copy feature from the program which will take mmc0.
