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

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?

[Q] Help ! debranding desire HD vodafone dont work :@ !

hi all,
I got a HTC Desire HD from vodafone with hboot 0.85.0018 and rom version 1.75.
I want to debrand this so i made a goldcard (tried with MMC1 and MMC2 as described everywhere). i used modaco's goldcard tool and when i loaded the goldcard img and pressed 'patch MMC' it says succesfully created goldcard.
So i putted the debranded zip on the sdcard. it loads the zip but then gives the error 'main version is older blablab'.
i think this is related to the goldcard right?
I made a goldcard like 5 times again and with another micro sd card but it all didnt work.
so now i cant debrand my desire HD
Please if someone can help me!!
thanks in advance!
Nick
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 doesnt work for you?
So I think Vodafone 1.75 is Android 2.2.1. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
On top of the gold card you will also have to follow the procedure for downgrade to 1.32 (Android 2.2). Otherwise you won't be able to flash an older rom version over the existing software.
There is a guide to the downgrade procedure stickied in the development section.
Someone swyped my idea.

oops forgotten. i if course did that procedure too. but stil wont downngrade. its verry weird.
and yes its android 2.2.1
Are you using a low capacity sd card? Gold card won't work on sdhc, only sd. Use a 1 or 2 gb card.
Only other thing I could suggest is using a hex editor to insert the code manually, just to eliminate all possible errors.

yep i used to micro SD cards from 2gb.. and i insrted it manually too lol
Well im gonna try MMC1 on my 1 sd card and MMC2 on my other sd card in minutes and check if it works then .
So i just format as fat32 then make goldcard with MMC2.
Then put the zip on the SD card and insert it in my phone.
Then follow the downgrade process and check if it installs the zip right?
IT WORKS! it starts the update

Troubleshooting:
- "Main version is older"? You did not type everything correctly. Please try it again and see if any errors come up.
- "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.
- "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader.
- "Model ID incorrect"? Some Telus DHDs get this, just make a Goldcard.
- Zip will not load in bootloader? Format your SD card to FAT32, no quick format! You can also try another SD.
- Problems while making Goldcard? See this post.
- PD98IMG.zip md5sum is: C3D244A9F056E48EE3851A14FF52204C

I used this guide and I even bought a new card for it only and I have the same problem. Before trying this guide it used to say CID Incorrect then after making the Goldcard using your guide, it doesn't give me any response and just goes back to the original boot loading screen after saying image not found for like 3-4 times. Please help with any simple way

After creating the Goldcard with ur new card, did u put the PD98IMG.zip file in the card itself?
Finally it worked after trying soooo many guides and videos I used this simple direct one http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ and it worked. But to be frank with you it looks like the issue is the SD card itself, not all SD card accepts the Goldcard process. My last attempt after trying 4 different cards I pulled my camera card and I said this is the last trial and it worked although it is SanDisk same I tried with 3 before and I even tried Toshiba brand. Any ways thank you all you are the best to help now I moving to next step S-Off

CID and goldcards

Dear all,
I have lost my goldcard that I create when my HTC desire GSM phone was brand new, and untouched.
Is it still possible to get my correct CID, my phone has been rooted, and S-off with alpharev 1.8.
I have also flashed a custom rom loaded, but still have a backup of my old virginmobile rom.
Basically I'm trying to create a goldcard, incase I need to go back to stock.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I don't have first hand experience of this so you should wait for confirmation from someone with experience but I'm sure I read recently that a goldcard image is specific to an sdcard but not tied to a particular phone.
If this is correct you should be able to create a new goldcard image for your current sdcard and use that.
Steve
Yes You are correct.. Goldcard has nothing to do with the phone.. but it is a sd card.... so goto this link and create a goldcard anytime..http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
If you have any problem with adb thing.. then .. search for an app in market called goldcard helper... its free.. and it will give you reverse CID of ur sd card.. which you can use to create .img file.. hope you got it.. reply if its not clear.
Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
New goldcard successfully created. ;-)

TIP: I always make my current in use sdcard in to a gold card.never had any issues with this approach and you always know where it is!

The only issue while using a partitioned card as gold card is that the pb99img on it might not be recognized by the update process. The partitions would usually have to be deleted to leave a single fat 32 partition

I have not experienced that issue. I have now a32GB card with 28gb fast 32 followed by 1gb Ext4 partition.
