Hi all hope everyone has had good xmas i recently got my HDH just before xmas on contract from Orange uk ive got it unlocked but would really love to get rid of the huge amount of bloatware the poor thing came with. I would like to return to a stock HTC rom and im currently using RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed and everytime i run it i constantly get this message ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR i have used the orginal 8gb which came with the phone and a 2gb sd to create my goldcard. Ive created the gold card multiple time but still ge the customer id error message ive used the goldcardtool and also created the goldcard the manual way by editing with a hexeditor and still the same result. Please can any point me in the right direction the current rom on the phone is 1.40.61.2 and the Hboot is 0.85.0007.
Regards
Hi,
Hope you had a great xmas also. Your DHD will need to have SuperCID, Your DHD is checking the CID (Customer ID) of the Stock HTC Update and it doesn't match the CID provided by Orange UK.
You can follow This Guide and just follow the steps.
Once your CID is unlocked you can flash anything regardless.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Thankyou for your quick response it worked a treat no more orange bloatware what a relief. I presume i do not need to keep the goldcard in the system and i can format my 8gb sd back to normal card?. Also the ruu i listed above is the latest one i presume from htc if you know by any chance, anyway thankyou again its so nice shame on you orange.
Regards
No, the ROM you listed is not the latest. If you flash the latest HTC ROM you will lose Root, ENG HBOOT, S-OFF.
Thankyou ill leave it at this one for now then have a good new year
Regards
thnks for the Good Guide...was searching for it...
@OP - As you have already installed an RUU u might have lost Root and S-Off already.
you can goto Settings - about phone - system updates and install the latest update.
This may sound familiar to you but..
Some background. Got my Desire repaired (replaced the motherboard because of a well-known reason..). Previously I had a root access and my SD card divided to FAT\EXT. So I got my phone back, it worked perfectly but today it suddenly turned off while it was charging. Now it won't boot up. I see the darn HTC logo all the time. Did the wipe and..restore. It seems that I don't have any update.zip on my card. I have no idea what should I do. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
is your phone rooted? Were you have a custom rom or just a standard one?
Hey, no. After the repair the root was gone. Had the last OTA update installed. I just don't quite get it. Since I don't have that update.zip on the card, that means I can't really get it restored, right? So if i.e. I change my SD-card to another one. How do I get a restore image file? I'm confused..
If your phone is branded you need the goldcard to run again ruu but if it's not just download the latest software and try. maybe it'll help
try running logcat while the phone is hanging on the htc logo
it may give a clue of what is wrong

By branded you mean OEM'ish? No, it's the regular one. By software you mean SDK?.. Or you mean that official .exe? (from i.e. shipped-roms.com)

You think it's connected to the PC at that moment? I can't access SDcard at that moment..
Downloads from shipped-roms.com freeze after a while. So I've found a PB00IMG.zip file in some other place. Bootloader checks the file and goes back to the main screen. No errors, no update options - nothing.

Gold card would be needed to run the WWE RUU if you have a branded handset
Thank you guys. As I've mentioned before my Desire isn't branded. It was bought in Lithuania unlocked and sim-free. So theoretically I don't need a gold-card. But one .img I've tried to feed em returned wrong CID error. I've downloaded that RUU and tried to run it. Phone's plugged-in but the setup drops an error (170), says it can't see the phone. Tried to do it with in the bootloader mode. Same stuff. I'm kinda messed up.
HTC says they can take it for the repair so I don't need to send it back to Lithuania, but I still think it should be fixable..
Wohoo! I've managed to get the rom.zip out of the latest RUU and fix the whole problem. Thanks guys! You made my day! We can close the thread now.
hi guys im trying to flash a stock ruu and cant quite get it working
ive tried everything (turning off internet connection,3 different updates of the ruu,flashing while phone is off...)
i have a telstra branded desire rooted running rcmix s v1.2
i have tried all 3 telstra ruus from htc site and get either unable to connect via usb or something like the wrong hboot.]ill try to find my goldcard but is there any other way i can unroot without a goldcard
as always help is appreciated
You have a branded desire right? I gather this from the fact, that you are talking about a goldcard, which you only need, if u want to remove a branding. With such a branded desire you cannot use a RUU by HTC. You need to use the RUU of your provider. Download the latest RUU (complete OTA-Update) from your provider's website and install it. This should work.
Did you try flashing true fastboot?
1. Boot up your phone in the bootloader.
2. Select fastboot.
3. Run the Telstra ruu
Thanks for the help everyone...i flashed a stock rom without apps2ds or data2we tried flashing again with phone on got half way through and had usb connectivity error so went into fastboot and did it from there and it worked.
made a goldcard for future use if i need to and went through the whole noobs guide to root and now have
rooted htc desire
s-off with alpharev...had trouble with this as well but thats in my other post and it worked fine
now reflashing rcmix s v1.1 and get my apps back.
thanks again everyone and moderator can remove this thread if needed
Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks
No Guru answered till yet !!!
Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?
Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.
Thanks,

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks
Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can you still get in to fastboot?

Hi mate don't know if this can help you....i got usb bricked with my rooted and s-off desire. I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.
I summarised the process here:

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali
Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali
No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali
So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?
Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.
I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to update the HBOOT loader using the HTC Dev unlock site but the download HBOOT 1_08.0099.20111216.exe file says my ROM image version (1.36.61.2) is not compatible and that a new file for this version will be available soon.
Is there anything I can do to update the HBOOT in the meantime (I don't mind debranding, possibly creating a gold card, etc) as it would be great to get the bootloader on this device unlocked (so I can try cyogen among other things)
For more help, write down Your hboot Info:
Radio,hboot version.
And your android version.
In Settings-About Phone(or something like that last on the list...)-About OS or something.... cant remember... in english...
I was orange but debranded a few weeks ago. So I went for the EU version . Hope that helps!

@Unkheq,
BIOS information is:
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICRODP-0451
RADIO-7.46.35.08
Apr 8 2011 17:45:10
OS Info is:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Software number: 1.36.61.2
Looking at the HTCdev info problem is there is no orange uk RUU image - or before that even a ROM updater.
@pat da punk
I Was think of reflashing to the EU stock from the loading to the SD card method, or by using the HTC dev unlocker HTC EU RUU, but I don't want to brick the phone by not prepping the rest of it first (i.e. the image mismatch)
you have 2 options. Wait for the Orange UK 2.3.5 Update, then start unlocking it, Or flash it to EU 2.3.5. those 2 things will update your hboot to 1.08.0000, where u are able to unlock
#Edit
Also u wont brick phone with official RUU, it will check if all is good, then it will start installing, Orange UK rom is just same as HTC EU rom, but u got branded OS, that's the difference
@Unkheq
How would I update the OS to 2.3.5 EU? as it would be useful to be pointed somewhere where the image is / information is on how to do this, as I might go ahead and flash to the EU version if I decide its going to be a faster option
Don't mind about the non branding. Most crucial on my mind at the moment is making more space for apps etc.

Thanks for all your help pat da punk and Unkheq. I've used the thanks button in the thread. I will wait a week or two to see if an offical Orange UK rom update comes out, and then may go the EU carrier route.
A final question, if I convert the SD card to a gold card, does it still use orange as the main network, but esentally allows you to flash the rom so its non orange branded (EU generic route)?
You use he network from your simcard is ^^, after installing rom u pick ur network.
OK got it. Will see if I can link the guides so that when I come back in a week or so I can remember exactly what to do
As it looks like there is going to be no immediate Orange UK unlocker for the wildfire S (can't see any mention on the website) I was planning to go the HTC Europe route myself as soon as the SD card reader I've ordered arrives.
If I do this then considering the HBOOT needs updating, will the marvel Europe 2.66 version (or whatever the lastest version is) attempt this and abort if there is going to be a problem or is there a verified version that successfully updates HBOOT 0.90 without any risk?
If all versions work then all fine and dandy. Just asking in case I'm creating a bricking chance if I manage to goldcard the SD card.
Thought I would post back and say I had great success in reflashing to the HTC marvel europe build.
Basically I followed the guide in 1st link beow below, then followed up by using the unlocker on the HTCdev site.
I've also found that the HTC supertool V3 roots the phone and its possible the unlock bootloader instructions will work as well, but I personally didn't follow that method and used the HTCdev site.
