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!

but did you have gingerbreak or not??
first step is not Jkoljo´s guide.... its efrant guide for gingerbreak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13084221&postcount=2
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 ?
hey guys...
if we install PD98IMG.zip rom to desire hd.. can we get ota on it . i mean is it a stock rom.

Hi will a 1gb sd card work as a gold card?
If it does because i dont have a sd card reader can i make the gold card from mounting it from my phone to the computer ?
Hi, any size card will do. All the gold card does is overwrite one sector on the card. as long as the card is FAT 32 then you should be fine with just the phone. However some cards are 'touchy' i have had no problems with a samsung or a sandisk card. worth a try!
I used this method and the tool mentioned - makes it a very easy job!!

If you want to root then follow this tutorial on XDA or this tutorial on MoDaCo, you don't need the generic rom.
Go to post 3 on XDA or the first 1 on MoDaCo and just download the correct version for your bootloader and follow the instructions, to check your version, turn your phone off, and when you turn it back on, hold the back button when clicking power, your bootloader version is on the second line, it will say HBOOT-0.75.xxxx or HBOOT-0.80.xxxx
Hope this helps
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.

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
I tried to downgrade my DHD to 1.3xxxx several times and the end result was always the same "CID incorrect". Can someone help me please I really need to root my DHD.
which guide have u been following for your gold card? i used this guide and it worked like a charm
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
just make sure u follow the steps properly
Reading the whole guide might help
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

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

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.

Thanks for the reply, I will open the tool, and then load the img and the whole thing is completed with success!
Do not you think it's the phone that cause problems? before discovering this method I tried to flash it directly with RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar
and the phone arrived at 1% was restarted as it does with the goldcard, blocking the connection with the PC and in the other case with the memorycard!
I have followed all the correct steps for the goldcard, do not think that the problem of microsd ... and 'almost 1 month I try to unlock this phone, I hope you can help me!

Hi,
my phone stuck on boot loop, as i mentioned at the title. I mean it comes to HTC screen and then black screen and then again HTC screen. It happened when i try to move com.htc package to sd-card, i was trying to open some more place for my internal storage ( i didn't know that can happen.)
how can i fix this ? can you please help me thanks !:crying:
Unfortunately you tried to move an important system component (didn't even know it would let you).
In future, if you don't know what it is, you should research it first. If you can't find anything, don't touch it
To get it back, you will likely have to run an RUU, but you will lose everything except stuff on your sd card.
Find bortak's troubleshooting guide at the top of Q&A, find the bit on RUU, find and flash the 2.3.3. GB RUU.
In future, if you really want to make more space on the Desire, the only proper way is to research how to S-OFF, root and partition your sd card.
Do you have a Nandroid? You must take nandroid backup using CWM before going fishy with /system
Else try factory reset using stock recovery
To free system space, instead of moving important files, use Link2SD for moving apps to SD partition
I'm here to Help
Sent from my Micromax A110 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
thanks, i will try
I'm appreciated for your helps, i'm now at work, when i go home i 'll try your suggestion that installing RUU.
I don't have a nandroid and don't know what it is. And i tried all choices on HBOOT none of them worked !
And one more question my usb driver looks like broken when i connect computer my phone and go into HBOOT, it says "USB Device not recognized" but i can plug my sd card to my laptop, can i run RUU and flash proccess by my sd card and how ?

In the same troubleshooting guide there should be a section on how to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU
Then you rename it to PB99IMG.zip exactly, put it on the root of the sd card (not in any folder), and run it from the sdcard without cable.
Alternatively, if you search directly for the 2.3.3. RUU as PB99IMG.zip is should be available.
