Hey,
I bought an HTC touch pro2 / tilt2 sd card to remove the branding, (pre installed)
I need to install a new rom on my HTC wildfire, so I'm wondering can I simply remove the rhoddiag.nbh and rhodIMG.nbh files, and place the wildfire rom files on the same gold card (its called XTCGOLDCARD) or do I need to mess about creating a new gold card for each different handset?
Thanks

I used the 2gb sd card come with the HTC Desire to make the gold card. Follow all the procedure properly, just that, after using HxD to change the hex value and save, take out the card, put in again, windows require to format it (means card cannot be used). Try many times, still the same.
Some body says that we can create gold card using the sd card come with Desire.
Is there any work around (using other hex editor to change, or different procedure to do) ? I dare not buy another card since I will not know whether it works or not, no point buying a lot of card just to find the one that can be goldcard, am I right?
So really need your help to fix this, bro.
Only some cards work. U need to try another card.
I had an old 256mb card that worked.... them were the days huh!

Try this http://www.roothtchero.co.uk/goldcard-2 I used the gold card tool and it was so easy and I got to flash a stock ROM until I upgraded to Froyo. Now I can root my phone.

Bro, you saved my life. Thx a million. It works well. I have my gold card now. I wish this forum got thx button so that I can press it to thank you
Just wondering,
I'm planning to put a new (bigger) SD card in my desire now that 2.2 is out and apps etc can be installed onto it and i'm running out of space.
whats the best way to do it? just a straight copy and paste of all the stuff on my old card to the new one or is there anything else i need to do to the new card before using it as to not lose anything thats on the old one.
I too am interested in this... what is the best method? (I've got a good vodafone desire so still waiting for update)
Also, microSD cards come in different grades... any recommendations??

I did this last week. Just use your usb cable and connect your phone to a pc as a hard-drive. Copy all the files on the phone into a folder on the pc.
On your phone, go to settings > SD & Phone storage > Unmount SD card
Turn off your phone, open up the back remove battery and SD card.
Insert new card, replace battery and cover. Turn phone back on.
Settings> SD & Phone Storage > Format SD Card
Once formatted then copy and paste all the files on your pc back into your phone.
When I bought a 32gb card that's exactly what I did.
I'd move any apps you have installed on the old card back to the phone first.
Copy & paste will do. I bought a 32GB Sandisc off ebay a few weeks ago, turns out it's fake and crashes the phone a lot. Beware.
As for class, I think you need a class 2 card.

I used a micro SDHC card.
thanks for the help especially @saorsa1985
Thanks for the help!! Will order a new card today.
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.
I have the SD card that came with phone, which is locked to t-mob. I got a 2nd 2 gig card and formatted that and did the gold card thing, now I have the orig SD card in. Is phone still carrier unlocked? If I downgrade and install Rom from the 2 gig card and then put the 8 gig card in will it still work?

I take it , the t-mobile is the 8GB card ??, You should be able to format that anyway - if it is 'locked ' there will be a work around.
- (can you explain sd card locked to me ??- or are you saying that this 8gb sd card has the tmobile rom on - but is editible (ie - you cant take and add stuff to it freely)
( if your saying your PHONE IS LOCKED TO T-MOBILE - then its not to hard to sim -unlock and flash roms too, )
!!! TOP TIP - DONT UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE VERSION AS PAST A CERTAIN SW VERSION A DOWNGRADE WILL BE REQUIRED TO S- off, Sim unlock ect - YET !!!
Ok - your trying to do similar to I have done. Once you have downgraded and installed/flashed a new rom of your choice from your new 2gb card then I cant see a reason why you cant remove your 2gb card and insert the 8gb Tmobile sd.
This should have no massive effect other than your loss of the original tmobile rom and settings.
Be advised though once you start messing with your phone - you'll invalidate you warranty.
Is this phone on contract or from an ended contract ...are you free to do with it what u want ??, ie unlock and use on any network ??
Ive just got an ORANGE BRANDED HTC Desire HD- which was an unwanted upgrade. This was obviously locked to Orange( with orange rom on sd ), I got another sd card, gold carded it, downloaded a rom - placed on this sd and flashed, then put back in my orange sd and it hasnt effected the phone at all..... (you can just wipe you t-mobile sd once youve installed a new rom, Normal format - not fast - use again - then back up you new installed rom to that 8gb card - then you back to using your 8gb card)
If you have an unwanted upgrade or an out of contract phone I d highly recommend flashing a new rom to it, these branded roms(orange rom, tmobile rom ect ect) are full of bloatware and often limited and slow compared to the DEV Roms, even a move to a stock HTC rom will show a great improvement.

thank you for the info,
the 8gig card that came with phone has all my camera images of my boy, and apps i have downloaded from market, and any other stuff that is saved to the sd card, so i didnt want to format it to make a goldcard, that i why i used the 2 gig card as goldcard, and lan to use that same 2 gig card to flash roms from, then just re-insert the 8 gig card to have all my apps and images (will apps work after a new rom flashed? or will i need to re download them?)
Plug your 8gb sd into a sd card holder and plug into your pc, explore the sd card, you should find your photo's in gallery, there should also be a folder called apps backup - all your apps should be in there, also check the download folder - you may find some are in there also. just check that youve found every thing you want to save, copy it to a pc - and then you can overwrite that card
ps. the apps in the apps backup folder on your 8gb, can be saved to your pc, you can then wipe the card, goldcard it, downgrade , route install rom ect and then simply put the apps backup folder back onto the 8gb card, then download astro or another android file explorer , look at your sd card when in your Desire - locate the apps backup folder and then just re-install them - no probs - THATS what Ive been doing - today - all works fine
I have a DHD that was my GF's. I used my old SD card 2GB to root it Running Rev HD. I have now taken all the item's off the 8Gb card that was in it originally.
Can i just put the old card back in or should i put the rom on the 8GB card?? Also i'm under the impresion that the HTC SYNc will be on the original card. Will this cause a problem??
I used th AHK to root.
Please advise
Thanks
