Although the procedure you used reported that it worked, the goldcard is not a valid one. That is why you are getting the CID incorrect message.
I would try recreating it using this procedure:

Still doesnt work, Is there way to do it via s-off or rooted?

I would try that procedure again with another SD card. You need to make sure it is at least a 2GB SD card.
oh i treid with a 1gb card, i onlky have a 16gb car which is my main one so can i remove goldcard from it?
can i get an s-off and do it?

Making your SD card into a goldcard does not render it useless at all. In fact it doesn't even bother the data that you have on it.
The procedure of using the adb commands should work just fine. There is no need to S-OFF just to create the goldcard.

Search for Simple Goldcard Tool. You can easily create GoldCard with this little software. You don't have to use cmd prompt and complicated commands. Desire S using MMC2 and that software supports it. You don't have to S-OFF and root for installing RUU.
1) Format SD card as Fat32
2) Install HTC Sync Drivers. (available at htc.com)
3)Connect Your phone to PC. USB Debugging must on and usb connection type: Only Charging.)
4) Open SimpleGoldCard Tool as a admin
and follow procedure step by step at SimpleGoldcard tool.
I installed new 2.401.8 RUU after made goldcard with that tool.
Look In the index thread (see my Sig) in that there it's a link to a working gold card thread

i have desire s which has
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
i unlocked the bootcode at htcdev and installed clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 and then installed cyonogen as my chosen rom.
I am having problems with really rubbish signal and was looking to downgrade my radio to a different version. I understand to do this I have to downgrade the HBOOT to a version which I can do true s-off.
as the phone is already rooted and has a custom recovery, do i just need to change the version on the phone using misc_version tool and then reflash using an RUU of my choice ?
forgive me if im being slighty stupid.
I was in the same situation, this is what I did. Hope it helps.

I have the same issue and have read the guides referred to in the following posts but I still have a question. I have read somewhere that you cannot HTCdev relock if you are on a custom Rom. Is this correct? If so I have a bigger problem as my backup of my original Rom will not restore possibly due to a lib partition issue.
Thanks in advance
You need to relock and flash RUU to boot the phone properly.
I make a unlook with htc dev. Then i flash The recovery and Make a nandroid Backup. After this i flash the customs. An all thinks u running.i have Nov Problems. All time. Tmo desire s

I had the same thing, I wanted to re-lock my Bootloader, downgrade it, S-OFF and upgrade to the re-engineered so that I would flash the latest radio.
I managed to get it done so I'm sharing it with you, so that you can do it too if you want.
The steps that I took are the following (I had a branded DS so I'm adding the Goldcard info too):
#0 took a full NAND backup of my currently running custom rom (FlashOne) and copied everything from the SD Card to my PC (I used it as a goldcard).
#1 Made a goldcard since I have a branded DS and afterwards put from the RUU the rom.zip file (renamed to PG88IMG.zip) in the sdcard root directory.
#2 from this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
went directly to step 6 and changed the misc_version.
#3 reboot in bootloader (having the Goldcard in) and let the ROM file install itself. Or if you're unbranded then you don't need neither the Goldcard, nor to reboot in bootloader, simply flash the RUU with the old Hboot/Radio (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506). I used: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe to get the rom.zip file.
#4 boot your "new" 2.3.3 android, remove the ROM file from the SD Card and proceed with revolutionary: http://revolutionary.io/
#5 I didn't want to flash CWM so I manually flashed from fastboot, 4EXT.
#6 did a full wipe of everything and copied the radio firmware on the SD card, rebooted in bootloader and flashed it
#7 used my sister's Wildfire S ( ) to access the SD card and remove the radio file and copied the new re-engineered Hboot. Rebooted in bootloader and flashed the new HBoot.
#8 that wildfire S saved me again, used it to remove the Hboot file from the SD card
#9 booted in 4ext recovery, accessed my sd card from there, formated it and copied in the SD Card the backed up contents from step #0.
#10 once done, I simply did a full wipe (again) and restored the FlashOne 2.0.4 backup that I had taken earlier.
And It's up and running!!!
Ok here are the steps I followed and gained s-off
I am assuming you are on 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 Hboot 2.0...
- Go to htc dev and unlock your bootloader
- Flash recovery (4EXT recommended)
- Flash any rom which is rooted ( I flashed Europe Stock pre rooted)
- This time you will have to flash boot.img from fastboot
- Follow steps here to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604255
- Run revolutionary and gain s-off your bootloader will be 6.98,,,
- Upgrade HBOOT using http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1679338
- Now you have latest hboot and s-off and you can flash any rom
since you are already rooted, you don't have to do much, just grab a misc version binary from anyone of the threads mentioned, change the misc version on your phone by simply writing 2 commands that are mentioned in any downgrading thread, relock the bootloader using «fastboot oem lock» and run any previous version ruu of your region(exe file), that should be all.
The only place where there's a scope of error is in running ruu, if so, a little search will do.

Moving to Q&A
Sorry for beeing noob, but what does happen when you downgrade Hboot? Does the phone change in any way or is it the same after the process?
Hey ,
ok.. everything went fine Now my Desire S is S-off'ed and is rooted
(a big thanx to all who helped me here )
Now, I have a few questions before flashing the ENG HBOOT & installing the touch recovery (4EXT):
- Which zip file version of ENG HBOOT should I flash?
Got 2 zip files here: one of them is named "PG88IMG(ENG 0.98.2000)" and is having "engHBOOToverARX.img" named IMG file.
Other one is named "PG88IMG" and is having "hboot_0.98.0000_361a7ba6_0310.img" named IMG file.
I checked their size and MD5; size is same but their MD5 hashes are different.
Please suggest, which one to go for? Or should I flash a newer version of ENG HBOOT? the 2.00.xxx ? Which ones better? :|
- Flashing this ENG HBOOT is it equivalent to flashing a new radio?
-Will I need to format any partitions, cache,...anything? I am not going to install any custom ROM for now, so I need my applications and their data..everything intact (just being noob here )
--
UPDATE:
I have successfully installed 4EXT recovery but when I check my filesystem info it says that except the SD Card all of my partitions are already ext4! is that possible? i din't converted them. by default all phone partitions as EXT4? wow :O and my SD Card is shown as fat32 partition (its ok).
Anyways.. :|
--
- I am thinking to install the 4EXT touch recovery, found it comfortable instead of pressing volume/power keys again and again. (and offcourse donate to the dev; great job there..keep it coming! )
- Do I need to convert to EXT4 partition type? How can I check my existing partition type? well of which partition are we talking about here?..the internal memory or the SD card partition type? noob*
- Can somebody give me some short steps of how to install 4EXT without bricking my phone..as I am worried a bit now to move forward

If you've used revolutionary, you're Hboot should now be RVL v6.98.1000?
The engHBOOToverARX is a modified v0.98 bootloader, which *pretends* to be v6.98.2000. This allows you to overflash the RVL hboot. The easiest method is to use fastboot.
To flash, extract the file on your computer to get the xxxxx.img. Boot into Fastboot mode (Vol- and power), click fastboot, plug in USB cable. and type the code:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot xxxxx.img
This should take like a second or less. Reboot into hboot to check.
Alternatively you can use the hboot update interface by placing the P88IMG.zip file on SD card, and when you boot into hboot it will ask you whether you want to update (click yes obviously). I personally don't like this method as people tend to forget to delete the .zip file and may be at risk of repeatedly flashing your hboot.
I don't know whether flashing v0.98 or v2.00 straight without going through v6.98.2000 would work? Try it?
the ENG v0.98 should work with most ROMs. I think v2.00 is only needed for some newer ROMs which require a /data/lib partition (better search round for which ROMs need it).
Tbh, never found any problems with v0.98, so I've stuck to it ever since I first rooted it. Don't think there is any real life benefits of one over the other (except obviously if your ROM doesn't work with v0.98).

Yes and no. It's similar that radio updates can also be applied via fastboot or the hboot PG88IMG.zip interface...
But effectively you're flashing different things. BOTH GIVES YOU RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE. So the tip is if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Generally its a good idea to at least wipe the partition if you've messed with hboot. So its a good idea to backup before you mess around with your phone.
THis can be done through 4EXT easily. (the wipe/format settings)

Well, ext4 isn't strictly necessary... your phone will work on ext3, but if you've heard about the infamous Desire S eMMC problem, then ext4 gives you a little more protection.
(the problem I think is that on overloading the cache partition, say updating all market apps, the phone hangs... people intuitively do a battery pull which corrupts the /cache partition. There is a small risk of frying your memory if you quickly reinsert your battery back after you've battery pulled it, so its generally advised to wait 10 seconds after battery pull before putting battery back in.)
Ext4 supports write-back journaling so should be less susceptible to this...
to convert to ext4, use 4EXT convert tools (NOT wipe/format!)

Download the .apk file and install. You need to be rooted and S-OFF'd. It will then ask you to update, click yes. Then install the latest version (1.005 RC3?)

and thx for clearing up my 4EXT doubt (so i am assuming that for 4EXT I don't have to re-format my partition(s)..simply install, convert partitions to ext4 and voila! )
the eMMC fried chip prob? yep..I saw that somewhere around here in forums :O *shrugs*

Hi guys,
I just tried flashing my HBOOT with the ENG HBOOT file available here
using the PG88IMG.zip method.
But the HBOOT said "bypassed".. now what is that? :O though I am able to boot into my stock ROM (thank god I din't bricked my phone phewff).
Now how can I work this one out to have 0.98.xxx ENG HBOOT?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Looks the RVL v6.98 hboot is bypassing (aka blocking) hboot flashes.
Did you try the fastboot method?
Try flashing the ENGHBOOToverARX.img first.
You should get hboot v0.98.2000? (just ignore it, as it is 0.98.xxxx in reality)
After you've done that. Flash ENG 0.98.xxxx

Yes, sorry, my brain isn't functioning today...
The reason why you're 'bypassing' is that when you flash using the PG88IMG method, your hboot will detect / compare the version numbers.
As RVL 6.98.1002 (despite being 0.98 in disguise) is greater than 0.98.xxxx, it will not flash it.
the EngHBOOToverARX.img has version number 6.98.2000, which allows you to overflash the RVL 6.98.1002. This version I think also allows 'downgrade' flashing, so you can revert back to ENG 0.98.xxxx

Fastboot it?
0. Delete the PG88IMG.zip file to stop it causing you trouble.
1. Extract the .img file from the .zip file (so you get the engHBOOToverARX.img)
2. Plug phone to computer and get phone into FASTBOOT USB mode, get to hboot (vol- + power), then scroll to fastboot, it should say fastboot usb.
3. Get the android sdk tools.
4. Use the command line type:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot engHBOOToverARX.img
[\code]
whatever that .img file is called.
5. See the result? (if successful, you should get v6.98.2xxx)
6. Install ENG 0.98.xxxx the same way.

Hi guys, I know it has already been asked but after a lot of research, I can't figure out how to make a goldcard without a working phone.
They're many peoples saying it's possible to do it using a SDcard reader but nobody says how.
The phone boots only in fastboot, no recovery, branded, hboot 0.98.0000 s-on and the misc version is to high (2.10.401.5) to use previous RUU.
Any advices ?
This won't help with creating a goldcard, but if you downgrade the misc_version as described inhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28009045, you can flash an older RUU.
Sent from my Desire S
Thanks for your reply but it will not work because the guy has no adb access (this is not my own phone).
He can boot only in fastboot so, no recovery, no way to use htcdev with this hboot, no... Nothing except, IMO, Goldcard + RUU 2.10.401.9.
I'm having a bit of trouble following the instructions to flash the one A9 to the 2.xxxx firmware, so that I can upgrade to Android 7. I have unlocked the bootloader, changed the cid to 11111111 and have S-Off, but when I try to flash the firmware, I get an error in cmd that says that the file is too large to download. I'm kinda lost and could really use some help.
rename the ruu to 2PQ9IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD-card. Then reboot to downloadmode and follow instructions. Should fix your problem.
@Keno27, are you following a specific guide? could you point me to it please?

Okay, I have to get a new SD card, because the one I had before only worked with Samsung phones. My One A9 just says the sd card is corrupted.
I suggest using the correct cid also...
Which CID should I use?
The cid for us developer/unlocked device
Okay, managed to change the CID to the us unlocked variant. Now just need to get a new SD card.

The error about file being to large is probably only because you're not using htc_fastboot.exe to flash the firmware but instead the regular fastboot.exe from the android sdk... Might want to try that before purchasing a new sdcard.
managed to find the htc_fastboot.exe, but when I ran the cmd again, I got an error. It said error unknown when trying to flash the 2PQ9IMG.zip.
How do you flash to the 2.xxx
