[Q] Desire SLCD with HBOOT 0.93 stops at bootloader

Hi guys,
I've got a buddy with an HTC Desire SLCD and HBOOT 0.93 with T-Mobile (DE / Germany) branding as far as I know. He'd rooted his phone with unrevoked3.
Now his phone stops booting while loading the bootloader. He still can enter recovery-mode, adb and bootloader but it will not boot.
We tried to flash back the default RUU but it always says that our Version is outdated. But there is no newer one out there. He also got a GoldCard (well.. I think so. We've created it with the Tool and after that had no effect I did it the old way with the Hex-Editor. I don't know how to check if its a valid GoldCard).
We already tried this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...o-com/321558/solved-desire-slcd-bricked-help/
and many other things like flashing another rom or someting.
Hope one of you can help us cause he's really sad about it.
Thanks a lot,
AndroidChromeOS

Just go over to everything you desire is here find the original ruu for your device and run it, It should get you back to stock froyo.
Then run the unrevoked tool and your done.

Yeah but I can't find my default ruu.. I don't know where to get it could you help me?

If you've got a goldcard, you could try this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

Okay I'll try that but how can I see if I got a valid goldcard.. could it be, that it hadn't worked?

Just try the ruu, you'll get a CID error if the goldcard hasn't been created successfully.

All right thanks I'll try that tomorrow when I get the device again.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
a gold card is a customized sd-card. Search for the GoldcardTool. That's a tool to create the goldcard easily. Then just download mikep99's RUU and start it.

I think your goldcard isn't working correctly, make sure you follow the steps to create it precisely.
jkoljo said:
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

Are you sure you are running on the Carrier firmware? Also I am unsure of the process for those as mine was unbranded. If it is the very latest carrier build it may have been massaged to deny root. I will have a gander and see what I can find out.
Just found this quote in the FAQ - "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.

well this video makes it clear, ... , very clear .. i just rooted using this guide approx 2-3 weeks ago....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkbmKLCkDWg
then u'll reach the "CID incorrect !" error (if your phone is branded)
if it is branded::do the following
i then suggest you download the GoldCardHelper app and install it on your phone.
you need to jot down the MMC2 Reverse CID ... (make sure you dont copy it using the 'menu -> copy' method, rather jot it down on a paper, because the copy method copies the MMC1 reverse CID, and you need the MMC2)
then you can use the GoldCardTool.exe to install the goldcard image (emailed to you from the website)
copy the PD98IMG zip file onto the sd card, and then downgrade

hey guys i appreciate all the help, ive tried loads of times and yet i cant manage, its always producing cid incorrect !!,
Im going to reset my phone and try again, ill tel u guys how it goes, thanks again

Goldcard tool never worked for me.
It often doesn't work using high capacity SD cards so use a 1 or 2 gig one.
I used this guide:
http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/

andrew, is your firmware 1.73 or 1.75? - because these guides support only these firmwares ... im not sure if these techniques work with newer firmwares.

My downgrade guide works even with 2.x builds. Please do not link to addictivetips, it is hard to provide help when people mix guides..

mine is 1.84, anything i can do ?

Simply follow the downgrading guide in the dev section. It works for 1.84 too.

I have the same problem used all guides and followed the videos. simply it doesn't work. In the beginig it used to say CID Incorrect then after making the Goldcard, it doesn't give me any response and just goes back to the original bootloading screen after saying image not found for like 3-4 times. Please help with any simple way

In my experience, the "No image!" error is experienced when you have the SD card formatted as FAT16 rather than FAT32. If you used your phone to format the card then this might have happened (I think it defaults to FAT16 when the card is 2GB or less - I hope someone else can confirm this)

flupo2000 said:
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

Stock Desire HD with Build 1.8x cannot be temp rooted.
You'll have to downgrade the build.
Try using the Goldcard method again.

Anyway, if u were following this site ---> http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
I recommend at Step 7, do not mount your SD card using a card reader.
Slot the card back to your DesireHD and connect it to ur PC in 'Disk Drive' mode.
And proceed from there. Give it a try.

Ok!!!
I just managed to do the Gold Card method from the link you gave me, but with one little difference, I didn't use Gold card Tools, because It didn't give me MMC2 CID, so i googled and found a program called Rev Skills and gave me the real CID of the MMC2(memory card) and then reversed it and i used that CID to make the gold card, and now i\m flashing the 1.32 RUU from SD with no problem! thanks man owe u bunch!

[Q] HTC Wildfire R-OFF + root etc.

Hi all,
I have read through the guides on how to s-off and root my wildfire and have got the CID key however i cant get the goldcard image as the link on the program to get the image is down. I have done a bit of research and apparently the site goes up and down a lot but i have not seen anyone post with success in this year which leads me to believe it may be down for the foreseeable future?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a different place that makes the goldcard images or anyone possible of making one for me if i provide the CID for my sd card?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Callum

Thanks for your response, however i am not sure i understand or explained myself properly. I am struggling with step 4 in that program, contacting PSAS for the image file, the goldcard.img. Do i not need this file? I have tried to do it with a file that was already in the package i downloaded however it did not downgrade my rom.

Here is a screenshot of the step2.bat before it closes. I believe it is coming up because i am not using an image that is relevant to my CID of my SD card. Does anyone know where i can get an image that is for my CID?
