[SOLVED] No Boot, no ADB, no Recovery, only fastboot :( How to create a Goldcard now?

I'm stuck at a nearly 99% brick I think...
I've got an AMOLED Desire from T-Mobile Germany (still branded), with HBOOT 0.80.0000, rooted via Unrevoked and still S-ON.
The phone gets stuck during the boot process when the provider-splashscreen (or HTC-Logo) is shown at the beginning. Only pulling out the battery will shut the phone down.
The same happens when I try to get into Recovery via HBOOT. The only option is to pull the battery.
If I connect the phone via USB and enter Fastboot it is recognized by the computer with the command "fastboot devices".
I can't use ADB, because I can't access the recovery.
I downloaded the right RUU for my provider/amoled/hboot 0.80.0000 Desire (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed) and extracted the ROM.zip from the installer. I renamed the file to PB99IMG.zip and manually moved it to the SDcard using my computer.
But, when I enter HBOOT the file is recognized and extracted, but then it fails ...due to an "incorrect CID".
The same happens if I manually execute the RUU....exe under Windows with my phone plugged in via USB. (It's error code 131 in the flash program of the RUU....exe).
A very helpful user (cargo) of a german Android forum (www.android-hilfe.de - link to his posting) assumed that my HBOOT is not correctly displayed and I might have a "newer" one than 0.80.0000
This leaves me quite without any option than to flash HTC RUU 2.29.405.5, which brings HBOOT 0.93.0001...(but I may be able to downgrade again.)
But this flash process is only possible if I have a Goldcard, which I actually don't have at the moment
Is there any way to create a Goldcard for my device in my actual position (only fastboot working, no boot to run the system, no adb working, no recovery access)?
Every howto explaining the goldcard crating process requires either working adb or even a running system for apps like "goldcard helper" or being able to use "terminal emulator"
I would be very very thankful for every bit of help
Maybe there is some way
Thanks in advance guys!

I believe that goldcards are specific to the card and not the phone(read it somewere on here) so it should be possible to make one without using your phone.

As far as I know you need the phone for your goldcard. At least it was said in the tutorial I was following a few months back. You need to connect the phone to get the serial number (through ADB shell) which you will need to hex-reverse and put it on your SD card image.
To be honest, they are more sophisticated methods now (as I read) creating a goldcard, but since unrEVOked, i do not follow that part.
And by the way, why don't you flash the HTC RUU 2.29.405.5? 0.93 HBOOT can be downgraded. But with the latest tools you can S-Off, root & whatever with that HBOOT, too.

I just tried flashing the HTC RUU 2.29.405.5 with the PB99IMG-method.
But I get an error "CID incorrect"
I treid to execute the HTC RUU.exe and I get again error code 131...which means something like "user-ID error"
But I could grab a screenshot of the actual "version" of the RUU...or what is this?
Thanks guys

CID incorrect? Your phone is unbranded or branded? Because I found this:
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
Every device contains a short string that identifies the operator who sold it. Because the same device is sold by different operators, this prevents users from flashing a T-Mobile ROM to a device that was sold by Orange, for example. You probably need to Install a HardSPL or CID Unlock your device.

I recommend to find a RUU for your device (e.g Vodafone, T-mobile etc.)
Also:
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the update. The RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the Android phone. Make sure you use the correct RUU to update.

If it's saying wrong CID then it's branded, simple as that

1. Boot your phone in fastboot
2. Run the ruu that matches your phone.
You need a T-mobile branded ruu.
You can look here for one that matches. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
I think you can try an UK one, because it is multilingual.
If it is giving you the same errors, then you picked a wrong version.

well it said "incorrect cid" even with a t-mobile branded ruu :/

If you are rooted, then boot into the bootloader and flash a custom rom. Then create a gold card.

Yes, try that too, if you can.
Also use a NOA2SD Rom if you dont have ext partition. Or create one on your PC (if you want to use an A2SD ROM).

How can I flash a Rom using the bootloader?
Simply rename the zipped Image of a custom Rom into "PB99IMG.zip", put in on the SDcard and boot into HBOOT?
Thank you

Yes, if you rooted with unrEVOked. Boot in to recovery (clockworkMOD/AmonRa) wipe all data and flash a CUSTOM rom.
You don't have to rename it, it can be anything as soon as it is .zip

Uhm...flashing a custom rom in general is no problem...but i can't access Recvoery
as described in the initial post of the thread only the bootloader (HBOOT) and fastboot are working.

Yeah, sorry, my bad.
Well you can try to falsh it via PB99IMG.zip, but i won't think it work.
your only hope is finding a working RUU. (at least seems to me, if you can access only fastboot).

Hi all, have same trouble with flashing via PB99IMG, but in my case, the device normally loads the firmware and returned to fastbut. When you try to go to recovery device hangs on the logo. Фfter removing the battery and re-attempt to restart the device, it begins to vibrate 7 times and then freezes on the logo. What do these vibration?

PB99IMG.zip will work as you don't need recovery. Just put it on the root of your SD card and boot into HBOOT. It'll find the file and flash it

did renaming rom to pb99img nd flash via hboot work for you?
i have a similar problem, rather same prob, only fastboot available

To let this thread maintain usefullness for future readers:
The solution was to take a goldcard from a friend and flash the right (matching hboot, provider and version) RUU, by using the PB99IMG method.
By this the phone will be set back to it's delivery state! This will include the Rom, all data in the NAND storage the recovery and everything else, which got modified like getting root access or S-OFF etc.
Troubles were caused by USB-Brick or an error on my old ext3 partition or maybe even corrupt data in my Titanium file-backup I restored a few days before the crash :/
I can't clearly say what is the main cause...maybe it was a combination of all.
If you don't have got any chance of getting another goldcard (yes the goldcard creation does NOT depend on the devices! It can be created with ANY android phone ) you are really screwed.
My advice: Always keep a spare microSD card, equipped with it's goldcard image around!
Because I was not able to find any method to echo the CID (Id of the SDcard) in fastboot.
Greetings
And good luck to all of you having comparable issues

try this one by putting in your sd card. your phone should flash it and it shouldnt say version is older...

when you put it in sd card rename it to just PC10img.zip and reboot into bootloader and when it asks you to flash. let it flash

So it's back to normal?
And for your USB connection error I'm guessing you weren't in fastboot.
Turn off the phone, hold BACK and POWER, then run the RUU with the phone plugged in.

No, nothing back to normal, I always was in fastboot, and when it says: reboot to bootloader, then the screen get black and nothing ..then ERROR [171]

look at my guide and using a RUU without usb

I tried and I get a message that passes very quickly, and I can not create GC.

you don't need to with the 2.3 update, are you sure you're doing this right?

Yes, and with the 2.3 update I juste have a .cab, not a rom.zip
EDIT: Sorry, I haven't seen the good directory

I placed the rom.zip in the root of my SD, and I renamed in PB99IMG.zip, I then placed the SD in the Desire and VOLDOWN + POWER ... and nothing

Okay I have absolutely no idea what on earth you're doing to your phone, so before you break it:
Download this
Extract the rom.zip and rename to PB99IMG.zip
put it on the root of your sd-card (NOT in any folders)
poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN & POWER
when it asks to update, select yes.

After the bootloader, I have the fast message that the phone did not found a file or a wrong file

Well, this is weird, really don't see why it doesn't work..
You can try one more thing, make a goldcard (use this to get CID [copy without commas, spaces. Just letters/numbers], then follow this tutorial, and skip the part where they get the CID using the phone)
Then download this PB99IMG.zip and try it with that.

....Nothing, always the same quick message.

and you tried running the RUU from the PC in fastboot mode? I dunno, there's nothing else you can really try... if PB99IMG doesn't work and RUU doesn't work there are no other options...
Backup your sd-card, format it, then put the PB99IMG.zip on it, then try it one last time.. otherwise I dunno send it to HTC

Nothing works, so i will try to find a friend who had a Desire to help me doing a GC , now I have a Brick

I just said how to make a goldcard without a phone.. use the program to get the CID and then continue the tutorial without the phone (use an sd adapter)
Don't know whether it'll do you any good though..
By the way are you using the original cable when running the RUU?? sometimes it doesn't work if it's not.

[Q] Help with Hboot

Hey,
A month ago i tried to use the ace hack kit on my Desire HD and I seemingly screwed it up.
I came back to it to try and see what was possible.
After trawling through tons of forum posts I found:
- When my SD card is in the volume buttons do not work, nor does power.
- The above is the same even when using the only other microSD card i have.
- I put the PD98IMG.zip on my other SD card and booted in HBOOT, it proceeded to work and gave me a CID error.
- Tried to make micro SD card a "gold card" but can't due to only being able to access HBOOT.
- Went HBOOT > Recovery > Vol Up + Power > Wipe cache and clear data > Install of Micro SD > Doesn't work and just restarts.
- I am concerned the S-ON may be a big issue here, i did try RUU (i think its that, from htcdev, but didn't work since the version was incorrect)
When i come into HBOOT this appears:

Your sdcard is corrupted to work as a gold card, that is why you get freezed in hboot. Get a new or different sdcard and then try flashing a ruu again.

You have to find a RUU from your carrier. Do the following, in a cmd session in the PC with the phone plugged in fastboot usb type: fastboot getvar all and then find the INFOcidnum and of course the INFOmain. With that information we can search for a RUU that works.

Iribela, if you give me a couple hours we can manage to get connected via Teamviewer and I will lend you a hand. You will need a working android phone to make the goldcard. Here you have a tutorial on how that is done: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-easily-create-gold-card-for-htc-desire-without-hex-editing/
The goldcard tool can be downloaded from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/GoldCardTool_0.0.7.zip
I can lend you a hand on patching the sdcard. But I need you to get a working phone, so we can get adb working.
Teamviewer involves me taking control of your PC for a while to do the job...if that is ok with you.

So can i get my friend to give me a CID since he is on same carrier, my android phone won't work i can only get into HBOOT.
Once i get that CID i can manage, really appreciate the help.

the CID you are getting in the goldcard tool is from the sdcard, not from your phone. That is how you patch your sdcard to convert it to a goldcard. If you are not sure just wait for me. That is why you need a working phone but with your sdcard (or the sdcard you are going to use to flash the RUU)

Thy the PB99IMG.zip method.
Download the latest RUU (the 2.3 one).
Run it as administrator.
Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.
At this point do not go any further.
Navigate to C:\Users\"Your Name"\AppData\Local\Temp (AppData is a hidden folder)
You should see one or two folders like this:
{719CE201-7B12-4A13-9AF6-8F359FE69C7B}
Go into the one with dotnetinstaller.exe in it.
Open up the next folder.
Copy rom.zip into another folder (outside of temp).
At this point just Cancel and quit out of the ROM Update Utility.\
Rename rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd-card.
Boot in Hboot.
Select Yes.

Profit!!

Worked great, thank you so much! Thank given

Thy the PB99IMG.zip method.
Download the latest RUU (the 2.3 one).
Run it as administrator.
Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.
At this point do not go any further.
Navigate to C:\Users\"Your Name"\AppData\Local\Temp (AppData is a hidden folder)
You should see one or two folders like this:
{719CE201-7B12-4A13-9AF6-8F359FE69C7B}
Go into the one with dotnetinstaller.exe in it.
Open up the next folder.
Copy rom.zip into another folder (outside of temp).
At this point just Cancel and quit out of the ROM Update Utility.\
Rename rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd-card.
Boot in Hboot.
Select Yes.
?????
Profit!!

I think I've found the problem....my phone has PG58 instead of PG99...after I've renamed it, it works. Thanks a lot for your kind reply. Appreciate it. Now that I've already formatted my custom ROM with this stock ROM, my device does not have recovery any more, is that right? (eg. 4EXT and etc). Can you please tell me how to get those back, just in case I wanna return to using Custom Rom?

Wait wait wait wait.
If you have a Sensation, do not use the zips above!!
Use a Sensation RUU, and, instead of renaming the zip PB99IMG.zip, rename it PG58IMG.zip.

I have the Desire S and using Windows 8 trying to flash the 4.0 RUU from HTCDev but it keeps failing at "Waiting for Bootloader........." and then gives me the error 170/171 USB Connection error. My laptop, when the phone goes to the HTC Logo with black screen, says USB Device not recognized! What do I do? I have scoured the net and xda for answers, all of which don't work I don't have a microSD card either

Can you please tell me how you did this? I need to get my phone back to factory image, boot loader is unlocked and rooted.
i) Could you please tell me where do you download the custom ROM file?
ii) How to put phone in Hboot mode?

guys im updating my htc desire 816 4.4.2 to 5 i didnt receive any update so i jst downloaded the rom from htc .com .. the file is something like "RUU SENSE 6" . that is rom of lolipop but it always shows the usb cable error ie error 171.... so please help me to update my rom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worked for me!
For HTC ONE M8:
Download the file: RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined.exe and run it.
Wait for extraction.
Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\.
Find the files: "rom_01" and "rom_2".
(I've found them on: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\{1BF9D767-EBE5-4470-A938-3C36AE93DF54}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}).
Copy the bigger file ("rom_2") to SDCARD.
Rename It to: 0P6BDIAG.zip (caution to double zip extension - 0P6BDIAG.zip.zip).
Continue the steps above.
