hi,
i want to root my phone, but i've been told to downgrade.
my software version is 1.75.
my phone is quite new, 2-3 weeks ago.
i tried all the methods and i downloaded PD98IMG.zip(1.32 firmware).
after entering the Bootloader, and it checks the zip file, at the end it says::
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
after checking online, people said that if its branded, it wont work, unless you use a goldcard.
when opening my phone, it brings a Virgin Media logo (from london, uk), so im guessing its branded.
so i formated my 8GB sd card, and installed the goldcard, yet the message still appears!!!
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
did i do something wrong?
does the type of sd card i have effect a goldcard?, because i think i have a rubbish 8GB sd card, since the original sd card didnt come with the phone when i got it!
HBOOT-0.85.0018
Dec 17 2010, 00:29:52
is there something more i should do? or is there a way to root the phone with 1.75?
ps: im new to android phones, but have a little background in linux.
Did you use mmc2 while making the card?
Only MMC1 and MMC0 are available...
and MMC1 which is the default one didnt work, but MMC0 did.
i used a better sd card, -- transcend, and with this, after making it a gold card, and putting the zip file on it, the bootloader wouldnt recognize any image
If it does not work, it is not better
Only mmc0 and mmc1 are available?? Do not use disk drive mode, and use mmc2. That is the only one that will work.
I'm using goldcard tool v0.0.5, it only has mmc1 and mmc0
I took it from this website- android.monaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
And yea, I was on HTC Sync mode, not disk drive.
I'm tried this method for downgrading - igyaan.in/2011/01/how-to-root-desire-hd-included-downgrade-from-1-72-405-3-to-1-32
After that didn't work, I tried this - androidadvices.com/how-to-downgrade-htc-desire-hd-to-1-32-405-6-ota-firmware/
ok, so, i found goldcard helper from someone who uploaded it on a forum.
(can't get it from market, because market wont open, .., one of the reasons why i want to root).
i used mmc2, reversed it, and got the img.
but still, same message!!!
is there something im doing wrong?
by letting android put stuff on the card, does it lose its 'goldcard' powers?
honestly...why is this happening
please help!!!
Use my downgrade guide, it works, it is the original. It is a sticky in the DHD android dev subforum.
ummm, and wheres the link?
oh, and could you explain whats S-OFF and Radio-OFF i've beens seeing it everywhere when it comes to rooting.
is it a must, and what exactly does it do?
yay!!, it worked!!
what i did wrong was,,, on the goldcard helper, i pessed 'menu' and 'copy', and although it said reversed CID copied, it copied the mmc1 CID, not the MMC2
so i jotted down the MMC2 and got an img, and it worked!
thanks for your help!!!
but can u still answer my question above?, the s-off and radio off?

Hi, I have the same problems! The smartphone tell me CID incorrect! I try to create the goldcard with the tools, and with hex editor! But..does't function!
Please help me!
Thanks
did you replace the exact lines with hex editor? from offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 including the 00000170 line?
Later Edit: and i recommend this guide http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0 ...it's quite easy to follow
Hi all,
First of all I have an Asian version Generic HTC Desire Z (Asian version but not under a provider) with the following software information:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g6e170e7....
Build: 1.82.707.1 CL317545 release-keys
Software: 1.82.707.1
My CID is HTC_044
From what I read, in order to root, we have to downgrade the software version to 1.34..... , right?
SO thats what I did.
I have followed the steps to downgrade in ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261 )
and creating a goldcard ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 )
I tried both (2 different attempts) the PC10IMG.zip file and exe/RUU file, and have copied the whole zip file onto the SDCard (not in any folder), without extracting the files.
When I get to step 9-10 (phone in bootloader mode), I receive an error message like user "waqypaqy" got.
When I reboot into the bootloader, the phone scans the SD card, then I get this:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PC10DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PC10IMG.zip]
No Image!
Then after a few minutes, comes to another screen and says:
"CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot."
From the bootscreen, here's the info:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT -0.85.0009
RADIO-26.04.02.17_M2
eMMC-boot
CID Incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
Does anyone know what's wrong with this?
It'd be great if anyone could help me.
THANKS in advance =)
PS: I can't post under the "Development" forum because I'm still a newbie and doesn't have enough postcount yet.
The goldcard bypasses the CID check, so you can try looking at that first. Can you confirm that you've correctly written the image from the PSAS site to your sdcard?

Hey theSpam,
I have tried creating the goldcard before, and have received the goldcard image through the email and have updated img through HxD editor (as per the instructions). But like what I said before, it gave me that CID incorrect message.
I'm sorry this might be a stupid question, but how do I check whether I've written the image from the PSAS site? What is the PSAS site?
Thank You for your help =)
I was just asking you to doublecheck that you've correctly written goldcard.img to your sdcard. Most people have issues during this step of the goldcard creation process.
Just open up your sdcard in HxD and see if it's there
Are you using the Asian RUU to get the PC10IMG.zip file? I found this made a difference.

Oh yeah, I have followed all of the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 for part 1.
I have copied the contents of goldcard.img into the removable disk image and saved the file.
Then I went back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261, and followed the steps in that guide.
I only managed to get upto step 10.
Then it showed the error I mentioned above.
The RUU exe file I got was from here:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Vision/
I downloaded the file with this name "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe"
This is the asian version, right?
I got the rom.zip file by following Part 2 steps in the link above.

By using this one, it wont turn the language into chinese right?
=) =)
I was told by someone that it would, thats why I didn't try this one..hihi
Oh, and will the steps I have to follow change because of this different filename?
I would also recommend going back and double-checking all those steps for creating the goldcard, because it sounds like it's not recognising a goldcard.

Hi steviewevie,
I just want to make sure whether i've followed the steps correctly or not.
Making the goldcard:
During step 4, "Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number copy it."
This is the number that I get: 479a002f86c320087483035535443530
Step 5 "Visit this page, paste in your number and reverse it."
When I opened the link for that step, there isn't any textfield where I can paste in my number.
So what I did was reverse the number manually into 035344535530384780023c68f200a974
Step 6. I entered the reversed number into the SD Card Serial (CID) text field.
Question: Can I reverse it manually?
Thank you mate (and to anyone who is kind enough to help) =)

As you have downgraded, you can follow the guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision to achieve permanent root.
Once you have ClockwordMod Recovery installed (per the above guide), you can flash Cyanogen.
As for the radio, I personally don't recommend changing anything due to the brick risk (however, many others share opposite opinions).

Would you have any ideas why this is happening?
THanks very much theSpam!

Need to flash gapps after you flash cm Rom
Hello,
I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.
I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.
But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.
any help would be great
EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD
GlennBrownie
same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002
This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.
I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.
Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..
okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out
cheers
Well I managed to get step2.bat to run in a cmd so that it stayed open,
it came up with "FAILED <remote: 42 custom id check fail>".
when HTC booted in to bootloader it still showed same h.boot (.0002)

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).
what Beta key, I dont recall one?
To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.
yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,

done it twice and it still come up with success message?
even did it through hex editor....
I tried to do it again to show screenshots.
firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg
I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg
I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?
image2.jpg
when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg
Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.
And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.

Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.
You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage
then click refresh and the memory card will be available.
HTC MMC : select you sd card.
And now patch.
right, got an update.
managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt
We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?
we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.
please see screenshot.

its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.
Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?
MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.

you think it is going to solve soon to downgrde from 2.50 what think about xtc clip
None of the known exploits currently work on 2.37+ so we have to wait for someone to figure out a new one. You MUST get temproot to modify the version partition so the phone will accept a downgrade ROM. Unless you're S-OFF, the hboot will reject any RUU that is older than what it thinks the current version is.
XTC clips still work though.

Have you tried with Gold Card ?
Create a Gold Card:
Install GoldCard Helper from the Android Market,

I had downgraded 2 HD branded (with CID lock and S-ON) using a gold card made with the above attached application. I would think it should also work to allow you to downgrade a 2.50 HD Rom
Once you get the CID unlocked, you should be able to flash any Official HTC Rom and as such 1.32. Once you flash 1.32 just follow one guide in Dev threads to S-OFF

A gold-card will allow you to install a RUU that is not specifically meant for your device but it won't allow you to install a version that is OLDER than the current version.

My gold card allow me to install 1.32 Rom on a 2.36 Rom on a branded, CID lock and S-ON HD devices. So it allows me to install a version that is OLDER
I would think it should also work to downgrade 2.50 Rom

Unfortunately this method only works for 2.37. For anything greater, it's impossible at the moment. Yes, even with a gold card. Thanks for your efforts though, hopefully we'll find a solution one day.

Have you patched your SD card with the img you got and apply the patch using the application i just posted ?
If yes, just follow this thread or any other thread related to downgrade to 1.32: HERE
Or for me i just had to run the 1.32 RUU attached here, once downloaded, sync your HD with computer and run the RUU.exe file...and follow the guide
Hello,
sorry for my English, I am German !
I tried to downgrade my Desire Z (Vodafone Branding)
Android 2.3.3
Baseband 12.56.60.25U_26-10.04.03_M
Buildnummer 2.42.161.2
Softwarenummer 2.42.161.2
with this Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
It works very well, but the last point doesn't work
when I go in the Bootloader, the desire z looks for updates and after 2 minutes it says :
CID incorrect! update failed!
what I have to do?
Thanks

i dont know how reliable the automated goldcard maker is but the guide i used for my DZ had me make the goldcard manually. I recommend hexeditor
have you done your goldcard with the hexeditor?
please help me.. ;(
Use the goldcard windows program to only patch the "image you get from the website" to SD card.
Reverse your CID yourself like this:
First learn your SDcards CID:
open an adb command line and type:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
it will give your sdcards non-reversed "cid"
than reverse that CID like this:
Original:
AB CD EF GH IJ
YOUR REVERSED CID:
IJ GH EF CD AB
and use that reversed CID you made to submit to the website to get the image file to your email.
Than patch that image file with a goldcard helper program.
I did this and it worked!
Thank me with the button below if yours worked too
Hi, I have the same problem with same Desire Z firmware. Have you been able to find a solution yet?
thx
