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?

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,

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.

Here is all relevant info i can give, also I dont know my card's CID and am not sure how to find out. I am not familiar with making a goldcard or anything so please explain in detail if you could, thank you.
My DHD is stuck on the black screen with HTC logo and an error symbol in each corner. This happened after trying to install an unbranded stock RUU on my DHD which is branded and is on Vodafone AU with 2.2 and 1.32.178.5. I read that somebody else fixed this problem by reinstalling the original software with RUU. However i can only find my exact software in a zip, not RUU...Also i don't have a gold card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have no idea what to do now.

RUU
...also, i am able to install RUU onto the phone but as i dont have a goldcard and my original rom doesnt exist in RUU format, i get the error saying i am using the wrong RUU.
I take it you don't have a recovery?.. maybe take your SDCard out.. put it in an adapter and place it in you computer.. from there extract the PB98.img and flash it through bootloader?
There's a guide somewhere XDA showing how to retrieve the PB98.img.. I could be talking crap here and possible you have tried this and somewhere in my mind its saying CID error.. but maybe get your old branded RUU instead of the unbranded and try that?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
hey thanks for ur interest. There is nothing on my sd card. and how do you flash an img file through bootloader? anyway Im fairly sure my branded ruu is not available online, i really have searched everywhere.
If you can get the original software in .zip form, here are the steps you should take:
1: Somehow get your memory card on your computer.
2: Put that zip file in the root directory, making sure it is called PD98IMG.zip
3: Put the memory card back in the phone
4: Take out and reinsert the battery
5: Hold the volume down button and then hold down the power button until you get to the bootloader screen.
6: Wait. The bootloader will automatically check for the presence of a PD98IMG.zip. It may look like its frozen but there is a status bar at the top right of the screen.
7: It will ask you if you want to flash that zip file. Select yes.
This should install the stock ROM back on your DHD.

thanks raze. ill try that now, although what is the root directory? my sd card is completely wiped so there are no folders on it. could u tell me what folders to create and where to put the zip file? thanks
Also, as I said, pressing buttons is completely unresponsive. If i put the battery in the phone i get the logo screen with the error symbols. Then if i remove the phone from the USB cable i get that bootscreen with what appears to be an option to RUU. Hopefully this info helps.
well I've just tried it with the zip on the memory card and nothing happens

The Root Directory is the SD Card, no other folder [directory].
You say you have no other folders on the SD Card, that fine as you can not make a mistake and put it in the wrong place. [directory]

Make sur you are not connected to you computer by the USB after you have put the .zip on your SD card,
Then follow the advice by raze599:-

If you can get the original software in .zip form, here are the steps you should take:
1: Somehow get your memory card on your computer.
2: Put that zip file in the root directory, making sure it is called PD98IMG.zip
3: Put the memory card back in the phone
4: Take out and reinsert the battery
5: Hold the volume down button and then hold down the power button until you get to the bootloader screen.
6: Wait. The bootloader will automatically check for the presence of a PD98IMG.zip. It may look like its frozen but there is a status bar at the top right of the screen.
7: It will ask you if you want to flash that zip file. Select yes.
This should install the stock ROM back on your DHD.

3 to 7, especially numbers 5, 6 7.

Yes, you have to keep the volume down button pressed before you press the power button. This will get you to a white screen with some green robots on it. This is where it checks for the zip file.
Unfortunately the buttons don't do anything. I've followed exactly what you both said, and nothing happens...thanks alot for ur detailed comments though, I do appreciate it.
I think you have fastboot enabled in your settings "/.. I'd look up a guide on setting adb up and do an adb reboot bootloader which might work.. I cannot be sure as I don't know how far it can go.. I'm not at my PC, so I can't test it for you
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Hello as suggested by ''Sawdoctor" (scary name btw.) I post my original from XDA Assist right here.
Okay guys I know this title isn't the best. But I don't want you to delete me because it has been already made. Because I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HECK THE PROBLEM IS.
Alright Phone : HTC One M9 (1,5 years old)
After downloading an app from google play ''Spy Camera OS 3 (SC-OS3)'' , I guess someone from you guys developed it. No idea. I don't even know if it was this app that caused it. BUT - after I downloaded it and used for a while other apps started crashing ( for example : Facebook, Instagram). So I thought oh wow. I reset my phone and it will fix everything( dummy me) . Ye I did restart it and ended up in this funny screen ( maybe you would call it BOOTLOADER ? no idea)
It says tho :
***Software status : Modified***
*** LOCKED ***
*** S-ON ***
*** SECURITY WARNING***
/*<VOL UP> to previous item <VOL DOWN> to next item<POWER> to select item */
REBOOT
REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER
BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE
POWER DOWN
I have only tried those that are green colored and ended up back there where I started. Any ideas ? I am rookie. I have never done a root on my phones. No idea how to do it. So explain to me like to a kid. Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately just after 10 posts I can add pics. Hope you can help without seeing what I see.
Either a failed root attempt or a borked nand. The app didn't cause it.

Alright man, I am telling you I have never done root on my devices !! Because I know you can **** your phone up and I never wanted that.
I simply restarted phone. Turned on. This came up. Don't even know how to root.
I think (hopefully) the problem can be solved by re-flashing stock ROM. You just need to find correct RUU.zip file for your device. Rename this zip file as 0PJAIMG.zip and put zip file in your microSD card. Power off your phone. Put microSD card. Press and hold vol- and power button simultaneously (it will boot to download mode and try to install zip file in SD card). Let me know the result

Hello, great suggestion. I am going to try it. One more question to it. Do I place it in specific folder in SD card so the phones reads the .zip file first ??
Let's try this ! Hopefully it works.
Btw. is there a difference restoring it from RUU.zip file and RUU.exe file ??
EDIT: Well I just realized, I don't have any USB connector for SD cards nor available android phone to put the file via that (only iPhones at home right now) . I am going to try it tommorow and hopefull it works.

Well, place it on root folder. And better to have empty SD card. So there will be only that file
About second question, I think there is no difference. Have not found proper RUU.exe for mine, so have not experienced restoring from it

Last question what exactly am I looking for in .ZIP file ? When my release date was Dec 17 2015, 0:40:10, can I use another ? With the same OS ( 3.35.161.12) and RADIO(01.01_U11440792_96.00.51201G_F) info, which I think is more important. I don't know what exactly has to be the same in the RUU file and what can difffer and is not that important. Thanks in advance

In order to succeed, you should chose by following criteria:
- RUU software version equal or higher than what's on the phone (as it is S-On in your condition)
- MID should match
- CID should match
- HTC Syncmanager (for drivers if you are going to use exe file)
- Some other miscellaneous things that are most of PC already have pre-installed (again for exe file)

my phone says following :

The matching file I downloaded says :

Cyan colored I see matches. Only release date, UK( I have the phone from Germany Vodafone) don't match. M60 I don't really understand, what that stands for.
IT WORKED
Big thanks to user : oscar_ferreiro
Your suggestion worked. I am back in my phone. You're boss. Hopefully it won't stop working in following days.
Thanks a lot. Have a nice day. XDA forever.

Then it's a borked nand. Before you flash anything blindly I suggest you spend a day or two reading about possible errors you may encounter and how to resolve them.
Good luck!.

F*ck this...
Alright listen, here we are 4 days later ... again out of nowhere !! my phone started crashing every single app.. EVERY single app, no app would work for me... I knew that if I do turn off my phone the same screen pops up with that ''Reboot'' stuff.. so I did turn the phone off ( IT DID VIBRATE BEFORE THE SCREEN COMPLETELY WENT OFF, if that's a trigger to someone) and the ''Reboot' white screen popped up as expected. WHAT THE F*CK ANDROID. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I don't know what kind of virus can that be or whatever. I know that if I use the file I used before to reload the Stock ROM it will somehow work, but as you can see only for couple days. I didn't do anything to cause it in terms of trying to root my phone. Trust me.
Anyone willing to help ?

Yes I will do the research. Thought you just threw nonsense words with that ''borked nand".
