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

So as LINKSLOVESANDROID, the problem is with your goldcard, if you ever made one...
After receiving commands via the cid adb you have to reverse with a program (qmart), after you go to reversekills and you send the iso via email .. gold card uses tools, tell you put the disk in units and debugging issues that gold See your card mmc tool loads the image of your gold card you received by mail and then click patch mmc GoldCard created ... ..

I used this guide and I even bought a new card for it only and I have the same problem. Before trying this guide it used to say CID Incorrect then after making the Goldcard using your guide, it doesn't give me any response and just goes back to the original boot loading screen after saying image not found for like 3-4 times. Please help with any simple way

After creating the Goldcard with ur new card, did u put the PD98IMG.zip file in the card itself?
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

Can anyone help me please.
I have an O2 UK HTC Desire with an SLCD screen
Rooted with unrevoked 3, TRIED SEVERAL roms but now restored cack to original O2 ROM with Nandroid restore (2.1 update 1). I had updated to the latest radio, but have rolled back to 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
I have created a gold card using the GoldCardTool. (got success message)
I am trying to flash
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
so that I get rid of that horrible O2 boot screen, but I keep getting the error 131: Customer ID error with the message to use the correct ROM

GoldCard tool was made when I had a Hero, never fully tested on the Desire.
no luck as well with original method

Yeah, I get that too. As new HTC Desire on O2 (not sure which screen version) installing RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.
Goldcard created fine on formatted 2gb card, starts to send rom to phone then errors out. USB debugging mode on.
The error means you haven't created the goldcard correctly.
OK, I made a few mistakes (hey, it's one way to learn!)
1. Goldcard: I missed the fact the CID is returned at the top of the app and thought you had to pull it out of the debug log. So I copied CID instead of reversed CID. I sent the CID and received back the image which I patched and was told was successful even though the CID was wrong.
2. I read on androidforums that some people only had success when using their supplied with phone 4gb card, it was when I was recreating my goldcard with the 4gb sd card I discovered my error with the previous goldcard (issue 1 above)
3. Finally I flashed with an amoled rom, but thankfully quickly found an slcd rom and my desire is now updating to 2.2.
Bye bye O2 shackles, hello froyo!
Question- now that I have my unit back up and running with the gold card, how do I format the SD card for apps2SD and gaining more free RAM?
hi all,
I got a HTC Desire HD from vodafone with hboot 0.85.0018 and rom version 1.75.
I want to debrand this so i made a goldcard (tried with MMC1 and MMC2 as described everywhere). i used modaco's goldcard tool and when i loaded the goldcard img and pressed 'patch MMC' it says succesfully created goldcard.
So i putted the debranded zip on the sdcard. it loads the zip but then gives the error 'main version is older blablab'.
i think this is related to the goldcard right?
I made a goldcard like 5 times again and with another micro sd card but it all didnt work.
so now i cant debrand my desire HD
Please if someone can help me!!
thanks in advance!
Nick
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 doesnt work for you?
So I think Vodafone 1.75 is Android 2.2.1. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
On top of the gold card you will also have to follow the procedure for downgrade to 1.32 (Android 2.2). Otherwise you won't be able to flash an older rom version over the existing software.
There is a guide to the downgrade procedure stickied in the development section.
Someone swyped my idea.

oops forgotten. i if course did that procedure too. but stil wont downngrade. its verry weird.
and yes its android 2.2.1
Are you using a low capacity sd card? Gold card won't work on sdhc, only sd. Use a 1 or 2 gb card.
Only other thing I could suggest is using a hex editor to insert the code manually, just to eliminate all possible errors.

yep i used to micro SD cards from 2gb.. and i insrted it manually too lol
Well im gonna try MMC1 on my 1 sd card and MMC2 on my other sd card in minutes and check if it works then .
So i just format as fat32 then make goldcard with MMC2.
Then put the zip on the SD card and insert it in my phone.
Then follow the downgrade process and check if it installs the zip right?
IT WORKS! it starts the update
[Q] downgrading - either get CID incorrect or "no image or wrong image!" problem
OK. I have tried everything I can possibly find and I can't for the life of me get my new HTC Desire HD downgraded.
Yes, it is actually a Desire HD this time... (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927338 for a few lolz)
I have an Orange HTC Desire HD with firmware version 1.84.61.2. My first attempts to downgrade failed after checking the PD98IMG.zip with the "CID incorrect!" error. I find out from the guide that this is a known problem and probably due to my phone being a branded model, and that I'll need to make a Goldcard. Fair enough.
I'm using this guide to help me (as I'm using Linux rather than Windows) - http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html
I've tried two different cards, tried both the mmc0 and mmc2 hex codes given by the Goldcard Helper, formatting as FAT32 using Gparted (as the phone seems to default to FAT16), and still I keep getting "CID incorrect" and a cheery message telling me my update failed.
Some information which may help others: I kept getting the "No image!" error when my SD card was formatted using FAT16. I think the Desire HD formats smaller SD cards to FAT16 by default. Formatting to FAT32 actually got the bootloader to find the PD98IMG.zip image, but still wouldn't get past the CID checks.
So, my questions are as follows:
1) Am I right in thinking that getting the "CID incorrect" means I'm making more progress than if I'm getting the "No image!" error?
2) Should I just plough ahead and try a few more SD cards?
3) Any more suggestions for avoiding this blasted "CID incorrect" error?
Thanks in advance!
another question on the same issue
Another thing:
4) If I get "CID incorrect" having gone through all the psneuter and misc_version shenanigans, do I need to factory reset and redo the psneuter and misc_version steps before I start again or can I just go straight into making the goldcard and flashing PD98IMG.zip?
ok, I've tried three microSD cards now - including a Kingston 2GB card, which loads of people here have said should work.
Still getting "CID incorrect".
This is so frustrating - the guide is so straightforward, and seems to work for so many people - why won't it work for me?
Most likely you did not reverse the CID properly. Give it to me, and I will reverse it for you.
You do not need to redo the misc_version and psneuter all the time. One time is enough.
Eureka!
Aha! I'm in!

Thanks, jkoljo, but it wasn't that.
It turns out that I wasn't writing the goldcard.img hex file to the right place. This was the piece of help I needed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9975925&postcount=6
For what it's worth, here's what I did which helped:
Firstly, instead of using the phone to attach the SD card to the computer, I used an SD card adaptor (which came with the new - overpriced! - Kingston SD card I bought).
Then, using Gparted, I formatted the MicroSD card as FAT32.
Then I closed Gparted, made sure the card was unmounted, removed it from the computer, plugged it back in, and unmounted it again. This ceremony might have been completely unnecessary, but the important thing is to make sure the card is plugged in but not mounted.
The problem was that, following the original advice, I was writing to the partition and not the card itself. (I think this was the equivalent of getting the logical and physical disks mixed up in the Windows guide.)
So, in my case, instead of doing this:
Code:
sudo dd bs=512 if=~/Downloads/goldcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
I needed to do this:
Code:
sudo dd bs=512 if=~/Downloads/goldcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
Anyway, enough of that, my phone's finished downgrading - time to get on with the rest of the process!
I'm getting the same error.
My phone is not locked/branded.
PD98IMG.nbh
not found
PD98IMG.img
not found
PD98IMG.zip
Blue progress bar finishes
then it will validate the zip
Yellow/golden progress bar
The pops up the below error.
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press power to reboot.
Phone is Desire HD after the recent OTA update
Firmware downgrading to 1.32.405.6 from 1.84.720.3
What needs to be done next ?
Help suggestions please...
Gold card ?
Is there a good chance of bricking the thing if its not done correctly ?
Do I need to put the same PD98IMG.zip in the gold card ?
Yeah, make a goldcard, and put the zip file there. The chance of bricking is basically zero.

Hi everyone,
Ive been trying to downgrade my DHD for a while now but it just doesn't work! Im using jkoljo's guide > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
I can make a gold card fine, but when i do this step in cmd
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
on my phones screen i can see it saying "safe to remove sd card" and then i cant access the disk drive option to place the PD98IMG.zip on there.
If i restart the phone i can see the sd card again.
Just now i tried getting into the bootloader with vol - and power button and it freezes if my sd card is in the phone but works absolutely fine if the sd card is not? if it helps im using a samsung 8gb sd card
Please help its doing my head in!
Thanks in advance!

well theres a file called gingerbreak in the downgrade zip in jkoljos guide so assumed that would work, im just looking at efrants guide now ill try it out and post back as soon as i can
just out of curiosity, that guide is posted in the nexus one forum, will it still work on the DHD?
No it will not work. I wonder why ppl keep linking threads across forums.. It is like trying to fit Audi exhaust pipe to BMW.. Just won't work.

Even I had lots of problem with Goldcard. Try different cards for it to work. Also if the PD98IMG.zip from jkoljo's guide gives you wrong image error, then try downloading a 1.32 RUU that almost resembles your system config.
For example I am from India and because I couldnt get my hands on a 1.32 India RUU, I downloaded the Asia RUU and it worked.!!

I read in another post that someone else had problems with the goldcard aswell and the solution to his problem was to use mmc4 instead.
Perhaps you should try that? Otherwise it sounds like you should try another memory card.
Is you're Micro SD is formated in FAT32 ?

Looks like your goldcard isn't working, when the phone doesn't find a Gold Card or not the right Gold Card then nothing will happen.
