Hi there,
I am trying to recover my phone which I screwed up during rooting.
I have aforeign copy of the vodafone sappimg but it won't verify on install. I am thinking this could be resolved by using a gold card, however as I cannot get into the phone the normal method does not work.
So is there any other way to obtain a gold card without having access to a handset, or is there an other sappimg that would work?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi there,
This article is very misleading...
h**p://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
I installed an ENG SPL and on my Vodafone 32B, all fine, flashed this rom as it stated it should work on almost any phone, it flashed ok BUT it put 1.33.0006 (Perfect SPL) and somehow my microsd got nuked. So I can start up the phone and get to the first time wizard, but because it's SIM locked to O2 I cannot login to google with my Vodafone SIM and therefore cannot install the flashrec.apk... I'm completely stuck. I can't goldcard as I can't get to ADB... I have nandroid backups and I'm borrowing someone elses microsd but I can't do flashboot (says now allowed) and I can't re-flash with SAPPIMG.zip it just keeps saying missing image or invalid.
Is there anything I can do?
*Slaps forehead very very hard*
Thanks,

Ok, solved it:

I added an APN for vodagone, got 3G then I could login. Hope this helps someone!

I am trying to debrand my HTC Mozart with the debranding kit from fonefunshop.co.uk.
The update didn't work, but I don't know what to do next. I think it might be something to do with the goldcard. There doesn't appear to be a goldcard.img file on the SD card that came with the debranding kit.
I've seen software/website for generating it, but I don't know how to get the CID from the SD card....
Can anyone help out there?
I've recently semi bricked my HTC Wildfire so that I can only get into Hboot/fastboot. No recovery or system boot. After doing some research I've found that using a the gold card method would be a way to recover my phone.
However, not being able to get into the phone means no adb which cancels out the initial method of gaining the CID to create a goldcard. Is there another way to do so? I have a windows mobile 6.5 device (LG Eigen) lying around here if that would be of any use in getting the CID so I can create a goldcard and fix my Wildfire.
Thanks
Hi
Please help me my HTC Desire S stuck on fastboot and bootloader after change the hboot to 0.98.0000 s-on
i cant using adb to change the hboot ;(
i cant install my official rom ruu htc saga ara 1.36.415.1 ;( error 140 i dont know why my current rom 1.47.415.1 and i did that before
i cant install ruu htc saga europe 2.10.401.5 ;( error 131
i cant create goldcard cuz i dont know the sd card cid "i cant using adb on fastboot"
Plz tell me what can i do???
Well, I'm not sure there is a lot to do when you're S-ON. But I would give Android Flasher a try. It worked for me, even if adb couldn't recognize my phone.
Thanx my friend i will try it
Android flasher doesnt work with hboot S-ON.
U can make gold card on other android device. And then, u can run RUU Europe 1.28.
If you can't, you can take to Services or S-OFF by XTC-clip
I had the same problem, but do not dispair you can fix this.
Obviously one point you have missed on the whole goldcard thing is that you dont have to use ADB or your bricked phone to find out the CID, put it into a card reader and use your PC. So onto making yourself a goldcard.
The process of creating one is rather hit and miss, but I eventually got one to work. Make sure you use an MicroSD card that is 2GB or smaller as any larger than this and it's a SDHC card and wont work. I used a old 1GB Sandisk card my girlfriend had spare. Have a look on the forums for a goldcard.exe file to run on windows to simplify the process, I found this worked when the forum described method did not. Keep trying with this as it took me many attempts to get a working goldcard.
From your post it sounds like you want to install the cool new Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0. Your problem is your phone will not take the European RUU 2.10.401.5 as your phone is from another region - 1.47.415.1 (india?) and got screwed up in the process. The bold part of the software version number relates to region. Mine was from Thailand and the european update worked when installed with my goldcard.
When you have your goldcard created you need to extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU (just run the exe and look in your PCs temp directory whilst the exe is open, it unpacks itself there) and then rename this to PG88IMG.zip. Put this file onto your goldcard and then power on your Desire S whilst holding the Vol. down button.
If you still get errors like 130 or 140 your goldcard is not made correctly, so try again.
Once you have the new update working take yourself to htcdev.com and unlock the bootloader, then you can flash CWM recovery and root it as well.
Hope this helps
thanxxxxxxxxx all really i miss these solutions because i was very confuse
thanx again for all i will try it and give u my feedback

One tiny correction on this part, I use a 16GB SanDisk Class 6 GoldCard. Means its an SDHC and I haven't had any problems with it.
Hello guys,
I have been trying to unlock my HTC Radar ( C110e ) for almost 4 days now . So i thought whether im the only unlucky person not able to do so or anyone else also have trouble installing the HSPL into their mobiles.
Thanks!

I tried the Gold card method from here : [Noob-friendly] Goldcard SPL Downgrade Method; No Android-Phone and/or custom wires!
and put OMEGIMG.nbh file from DFT HSPL's thread into it ( around 24mb file ) and made the gold card
