Well about 1 week ago i buyed HTC Desire , created goldcard , rooted , and flashed LeeDrOiD and everithing is great , but my friend also buyed Desire and did everything like me except one thing. he did not created goldcard
Here is his phone info and question , can he put stock firmware back witouth having goldcard ?
What RUU should he download , etc.
baseband:
32.49.00.32u-5.11.05.27
kernel:
2.6.32.15-g2633d94 htc-kernel 18-2 #1
build
2.33.163.1 c277878 relase keys
soft
2.33.163.1
BTW phone is not bricked or anything , it works great but he worry about future (paranoia about possible hardware malfunctioning and warranty , selling phone with stock rom etc)
He have different provider and i gues my goldcard can not help him.
Thanks.
Goldcard is only connected to sd card. So your friend can use your goldcard to flash stock rom.

6.5 Can I use a goldcard from someone else?
Yes you may.
It is true that if someone else can read the CID of YOUR sd card (from his phone) and give it to you, with the CID code, you can make it a goldcard without a phone. Once you have a CID code, the other steps don't need a phone. Note that CID is unique to the card and not to the phone/region of the phone. You can have anyone anywhere read the CID code of his/card amd mail it to you. You can make it a goldcard without your phone. See also 6.6 below.
6.6 Can I create a Goldcard without a phone?
You can if you have Linux. You need a Laptop card reader slot and Linux. Once in Linux, navigate to a folder like /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid
I havent tested it out in a LiveCD. Check it out and tell me.
Programmers have tried writing applications to interface the sdcard in USB mode to get its CID number, but it needs a PCI slot or device-a phone-Either Android/Windows Mobile. A PC application may be specifically written for a PCI based card reader to read the CID, but such an application would be hardware specific for the particular brand of PCI card reader. You cant use it unless you are a programmer and know to do that. As far as I know there are currently no Windows programs that do that.
To clarify, Once again,
The only thing you need from your memory card to create a goldcard, is its unique CID number (which is inserted by the manufacturer of the card)
The CID is unique to a memory card. It is not specific to the device
You can get the CID of the sdcard from:
Any Android phone which can connect and use the adb command.
A Linux operating system running on a Notebook with PCI slot which can read a memory card. Note: YOU CANNOT GET CID FROM LINUX FROM A USB CARD READER of a PC/Laptop. You need the PCI card slot.
You can even get the CID from a Garmin proprietory OS or a Windows mobile based phone. There are utilities available online using these, which can be seen in a Google search.
Do not try to get CID from any PC via USB cable. It can display a CID code but not the correct one. It is said that "USB lies about the CID".

according to this thread , your friend can use your goldcard and ruu with the same build number in his phone info to unroot. so he doesnt need to worry about the future
Hope this will help.

Can somebody give me a step by step guide on upgrading ROM of my T-Mobile XDA1. There's too much information here and I can't get to a step by step guide. Kinda worried coz I just got hold of my XDA 1 (T-Mobile edition), I'm a palm user before.
This is my Device's Information
ROM version: 3.14.40ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
Pocket PC Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178) (Don't know if this is 2002 or 2003 pocketpc)
I want to unlock the device that's why I'm upgrading. I will be using the yorch.net ROM (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php) in EXE file. How will I upgrade?
I already downloaded the ROM from yorch.net selecting
3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (6656 kB available)
and
XDA-developers AutoConfig data (113 kB)
How do I upgrade my ROM? Somebody said that I have to sync my device (usb cradle with power connected) and after synching run the exe file on my desktop computer. Is this method fail proof? Will it not damage my device if ever there was an interruption or something? How can I make sure that I can go fail-proof? I don't have an SD card so I downloaded the EXE file rom update from yorch.
Should I remove the simcard while I update the ROM? What other things should I remove from my device? Can you give me pointers? Id really appreciate it.
Thanks
Also, I've downloaded the exe file from yorch.net (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php) and its size is only 150KB? I thought rom upgrade file are like 15MB? I'm really confused.
I just want to get it unlocked. I'll be using it in the Phils(GSM900/1800) and US (from time to time)
it's still 150 kb. Here's what it says when I view the log
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
If you want to get A.30.09 ENG

I am still working on it ... But , probably , you can get what you need .
Sprint,
Will this method unlock my device? Just want it to be unlocked. And I don't have SD card
Do you have SD card in your phone ?
Intresting ! I am on T-Mobil network and I am using AT&T ROM .
So :lol: What is the question about locking and unlocking ?
:?: Do you have SD card in your phone ?
Hey
Can I use an MMC card for flashing? I MIGHT be able to borrow an MMC card. Also, I dont have a card reader but I have a digital camera which I can use to transfer the ROM image from my desktop computer to the card. Would you think it would work? Thanks again.
Hello
As I know you cannot use MMS card ... But :?
Probably my info is to old :shock:
Oh that sucks guess I have to do it the hard way (EXE file). Wish there is a fail-safe way of doing the upgrade. Im' kinda worried to damage my device, just got hold of it. I just want it to be unlocked.
will the exe file below work for me?
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe

Pls reply. thanks
if all you want is to make it unlocked then getting the
seriel sync cable and using the program on this site
is alot easier then you dont have to worry about ending up
with a door stop
Rudegar, can you give me the link for serial unlocking? A step by ste p guide maybe? I'll just search for some1 who has a serial cable here in the philippines. thanks

Everything you ever needed to know about "unbricking" your Excalibur but were afraid to ask is in this guide. I've put together this guide for those of you who either intentionally or unintentionally "bricked" or think you've "bricked" your Excalibur.
It is not easy to brick an Excalibur if you actually read and follow all of the steps and guidelines before a flash. In fact, not many things can go wrong unless a USB cables disconnects during a flash, your PC crashes in the middle of a flash, or you flash a corrupt image file to your device. Statistically, most of the time people only think their Excalibur is "bricked" when actually it's not.
There are three methods you can use depending of the severity of the "bricking". The first method will unbrick 50% of all Excalibur's that have simply "locked up" and won't reboot properly. The second method will unbrick 95% of all Excalibur's that encountered flashing problems or flash failures. The third and final method, and the most involved, is a "last resort" for those who have tried method's one and two numerous times unsuccessfully.
** Please perform these steps and methods at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage you cause your device using this guide.
If you're new to the Excalibur or SmartPhones in general, please take the time to read the WiKi and this post by Stylez for valuable info before you post or try any of these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397583
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537151
But, before I even get into unbricking, if your phone is in fact working right now, I highly recommend you flash HardSPL to avoid even having to follow these steps anytime in the future. The steps and info for HardSPL and JumpSPL can be found in this thread by jockyw2001:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605
HardSPL basically flashes your phone with an "unlocked" security partition so all security checks are bypassed when you try to flash a cooked ROM or a ROM designed for another variation of the Excalibur such as Dopod, HTC, TMO Dash, etc. Makes life much easier when trying different ROMS or cooking and testing your own! Thanks jockyw2001!!
Ok, so onto the fun stuff... Your phone won't boot... Either it's locked up and simply stopped booting or you flashed your phone and it won't boot. What do you do??
Method 1: Assuming you didn't get "bricked" from a flash problem, the first and easiest method for "unbricking" your Excalibur is (this will erase ALL data in your Excalibur):
(This method works for 50% of supposedly "bricked" Excaliburs)
Remove your SIM and SD card
Remove and reinsert your battery
While holding the two softkeys with your thumbs, press the power button
Continue holding the softkeys until a black screen appears saying "This operation will delete all your..."
Press "'send"' to restore to hard reset your phone
Let the phone cold boot and restore
That didn't work!! . This next method will reflash your phone to the factory ROM.
Method 2: Second way to the path of unbricking is:
(This method will unbrick 95% of all Excaliburs)
Get a hold of your Shipped ROM. You can find these ROMS either in Dopod's site, HTC's site (with a valid serial #), TMO's site (http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ with a valid IMEI), or right here at XDA at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726)
Download one of these factory ROMS and unpack it. **Remember, if your phone is a TMO Dash, you MUST use a TMO Dash ROM. If your phone is HTC Branded, you MUST use an HTC ROM, etc., etc., etc...
Remove the SD card if one is inserted in the phone
Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. I found this step to be essential to reset the device. Put the battery back in.
While holding the camera button on the right side, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
While in this mode, plug in your USB cable and you will hear the "ba-bing" USB sounds as the device connects
Unpack the ROM package you just downloaded and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the steps, check the appropriate boxes, and start the flash
Assuming all goes well, your phone will flash to the factory ROM and you can then troubleshoot what went wrong the first time that bricked your phone.
Oh no!! That still didn't work!? Or it worked but the flash failed with Error 270 or another error......... Never fear!! XDA-Developers is here! This next method is a bit more intense. It creates a "goldcard" which is used to SuperCID the Excalibur so that it doesn't care about what factory ROM you flash. Please have the factory (not a cooked) ROM ready to go.
** (This method is not intended for Newbie's and some enhanced knowledge of HTC devices and Windows is required to successfully work.)
** (Retry the second method several times with a few different factory ROMS before attemting the below)
Method 3: The third "goldcard" method is a bit more intensive and should be used as a "last resort" so follow closely:
(should unbrick ANY bricked Excalibur if performed correctly)
Get a cup of coffee or tea
You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below
You will need QMAT. Get it from http://revskills.de/index.html.
Go to the Download link and download the latest version and unpack QMAT
Have some coffee
Use a SD card reader (either USB for microSD adapter) in your PC to access the SD card through Windows. Format the SD card with FAT32.
* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device and boot up the device. Connect the USB cable and establish an Activesync connection.
Open QMAT and go to the "Hardware Forensics" menu and select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
In "Select device key:" select the Excalibur
You will need the serial number fro the inserted SD card so click the "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" button
Once the Serial number appears in the box, click the "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD" button below
If no errors pop up and all goes well, skip the next step
If you get an error or a popup saying "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in newer devices", you must buy and register the software. Believe me, it's worth the small amount of $ you will spend to bring your expensive device back to life!
Now remove the SD card with the newly written Goldcard image from the Donor HTC device
Insert the SD card back into your PC using the microSD card reader adapter. Browse to the drive letter assigned to it. You will see no files on the SD card, this is normal.
(If, for some reason your PC sees the SD card as unformatted, something went wrong. Remove it and reinsert it into the Donor HTC device. The device should see the card as unformatted and ask you to format it, say yes. Now go back to the "* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device" step above and repeat the steps)
Unpack your Dopod or other factory ROM and copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the SD card. Once it had finished copying, rename the file to EXCAIMG.nbh. Remove the SD card from the PC.
Make sure the Excalibur is off and insert the SD card
Enter bootloader mode as mentioned earlier (hold the camera button while pressing the power button). No need to connect the USB cable.
You will see a gray screen that says "loading". It will then find the EXCAIMG.nbh file and ask if you would like to start the update process. Follow the instructions and let the phone flash.
It will take 10-15 mins but your phone should boot fine and be back in action!
QMAT is a VERY powerful tool written by viperbjk that allows for full low level manipulation of HTC and WINCE tasks. Read all about it here http://revskills.de/index.html.
Many thanks to jockyw2001 for his amazing HTC device knowledge! Also thanks to all who contributed to this post.
Hope this tutorial helps!

Hi OOkba,
This happened to a friend in the office's Dash. It simply froze up while operating. I actually got on the phone with HTC support. We couldn't get it to do anything. It does power up but then freezes.
The HTC guy was of the opinion that it is hardware related.
You ever solved that one?
BTW - I am running the 7.18 6.5 - love it - thank you so much

Yes, you have to have a spare working phone to create a "goldcard". The phone must be powered on and sync'd via USB so QMAT can access the storage card.

English is good!! Who is your Carrier? Maybe your carrier has a ROM UPdate on their website? You should be able to use the TMO or Brightpoint ROM. You tried all the factory ROMS and they fail to flash?

I really want to flash my TMobile Dash using your rom, looks pretty cool but I'm deadly afraid of bricking my phone so first, I took a look on my System Info and it says
ROM Version: 1.33.422.1 (tho its a TMobile Dash, I think the seller flashed it with this international rom).
Model Name: HTC S621
So I got 3 questions
1) Can i flash 3VO rom on this phone?
2) If the flashing fails, can i just use another 1.33.422.1 ROM and reflash it?
3) Will the flashing process (both ways) will bring the SIM Lock back?
Greetings from Brazil and sorry about my glass-cracking, horrible and ultra-bad english.

Yes, your phone is fine. Make sure you follow all of the flashing instructions. Make sure you remove your SD card, connect your phone, run SDA Application Unlock, and run auto.bat from the update package.

Try the "Goldcard"' method. This should SuperCID your phone and allow you to flash ANY shipped factory ROM. Please follow the tutorial closely. You will need a spare phone with a microSD slot.
Ok, Ookba. But the spare phone must be a same model than mine? (HTC S620)

No, just has to Windows Mobile based and have a SDHC slot.
OK. I try with 3rd method and when run Qmat and select "Get SD Card serial from WINCE Device" appears the message "You need to set rigth registry permissions. See QMAT manual for more info." and not recognizes the sd card.
What is the problem?
Thanks, Ookba. You're great, man. Finally someone offers solutions to my problem. Thank you very much. My Phone came back to life again. I make a donation soon.

Had a similar issue on my unbranded Desire when I updated an HTC push from 2.1 to 2.2. Some Desire's have to have a Gold Card to properly do flashing
Here's the place where I got the info to do it (probably much simplier methods, but hey... it worked)

Hi, aim a beginner,can you please help me?
Enter your SD Card Serial (CID) => I do not understand what he mean...
It's a very long identifying number for your SD card.
If you can get to the Market, Download Gold Card Helper like the instructions say.
It will generate the number you need. Follow the instructions on the link I sent.
Basically, you use gold card helper to generate the code. Go back to the link I sent, enter the code on their page, and they will e-mail you an attachment.
Start the hex editor you downloaded from their page, follow their instructions exactly, highlite and paste in the code they mailed you. Save, and you have a gold card.
Above all, follow their instructions TO THE LETTER.
Oh, one more thing, to get the links to download the program you need, and to enter the code that will be generated, just run your mouse over their text, it's all in blue color, so is difficult to see the links.
Dear all,
I want to unlock boot loader on HTC Wildfire S using www.htcdev.com.
Problem: I can't find the Rom version matched to mine. Mine is 2.6.35.10.
My phone spces: HTC Wildfire S A510e, Model: PG76100, Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g60b2609, Build Number: GOAPK.1.38.CHS.110722. I bought it from China.
Can you guys tell me ways to unlock bootloader on this ROM version??
thank you very much....
Been wanting to know that too. I have A510c. And when I try to update I get only 1.02.652.00, a long way off from 2.14.351.1 The other problem is the bloated virgin mobile stock ROM has a small remaining storage so it cant even install the old update.
Do we really have to update the ROM first? seem to be a recent requirement.
Software version isn't supposed to match..... your phone's previous version tells which RUU it is from.... for you it is China.....
As much as I know all CDMA variants of the WFS are branded ones.... so you will need to look the carrier you bought it from... and BTW why do you need to unlock a A510C????? It has an S-OFF method.... which is a thousand times better than unlocking your bootloader

Thank csoulr666, noob here about S-on/off. Can you point me the right direction pls. thanks a million!
Try the "HTCCN CHS" RUU or the "HKCSL CHT" one and see if it works

noob here
okay, i am a total noob to this, but i need more internal space on my virgin mobile wildfire S, i went to HTCdev.com and followed the steps but i couldnt find my rom version... i tried to update it with the virgin mobile but it didnt work... any chance you guys know what im doing wrong? please help!!
I think you guys should just skip the RUU step if your bootloader screen shows ****LOCKED**** or ****LOCKED(OOW)*****. These are unlock able by default and you have no need to update.
