Having had many flashes on my old windows mobile phones and hacking the iphone i thought an android would be simple
i have a belgium htc magic which had its spl changed to accept roms as in the guides , so i tryed to flash the vodafone ausie rom , every thing went well , the radio got updated , then it failed with the country id problem
now the phone is stuck in ruu mode , i cannot get into the recovery mode as i had done before , the main screen has at the bottom a picture of a rom/ram in a red circle with the stripe through the middle, when the phones in that mode i can hear my twitter app on the phone bleeping everytime i get a new tweet but it wont boot into the main interface , i have tryed through ms dos all the commands but it always fails , the phone needs a ruu file to install the phone back to life but after 2 days searching here and on google i have not found the belgium rom to restore it back to life , i dont know if there will be a update soon as its a 32a version , any ideas guys or how to build a ruu to get it back , i had saved my nandoid but that does not help at all , any help would be very gratefull as iam pulling out my hair with this phone
details of the phone are
sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on h
hboot 1.76.007 ( sapp10000)
cpld-12
radio 6.35.07.29

thanks in advance
On the forum have posted a lot of similar info!
- use brain
- use search button
And the answer is:
- use goldcard
Create goldcard from sdcard to avoid checking Customer ID. It is simply method, but i notice, that some sd cards and some devices are not compatible with this process
You must find following: a computer (notebook) with Ubuntu (or Linux-based OS) and built-in cardreader. But i you have friend with Android-phone process will be simpliest.
There is a problem getting CID from cardreader, that connected through USB-port to computer, because Ubuntu mounts sdcard from cardreader as physical storage, not as device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
There is instruction of creating Goldcard.
attention: Step 20 is for Hero only
At this step you must use any RUU ROM with version 3.03.XXX for Magics (HK Vodafone-Smartone, Singapore, Malaysia - does not matter). You cann't use old RUU ROMs, cause you flashed a new perfected SPL already. It doesn't allow downgrading.
p.s. there is an alternative method getting CID in Ubuntu

thanks
thanks for your help i will look in to it , i did search the forum but there seems so many different ways people have managed to restore thier phones , have contacted htc as well for a real copy in ruu format as iam sure they must have it on their ftp and will if i get it upload it and post it here on the forum for any users with the same model from belgium to restore back thier original rom
no goldcard
apple macs suck , iam unable to make my sd card as it cannot be seen in dos commands , will have to wait until i can get hold of a real computer so i can try again
No need for a goldcard you can do it right way

read the post then take a look post 35 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5033743&postcount=35
what you need is change the files so you have the hero spl and hero recovery and this new radio inside the file now you can ron ruu (as explaind in #35 ) you should end up with a eng S-OFF SPL and the new rom then it is posiable to recover back to an older ROM if you want , search newxt time for a topic not just for recover a dead phone!
remember new radio = new SPL first then maybe downgrade,
is it in RUU mode or just fastboot ?
any ways you should fix it using these links
cheers
will read and try out the links you gave thanks and its a ruu mode my phones stuck in
It cann't help to peekie.
Because his phone have perfected SPL 1.76.0007 already.
It doesn't allow to flash other SPL. We've tried with my friend, but RUU doesn't flash eng SPL if phone have perfected.
I flashed successfully, cause i have eng SPL 1.33.2010
p.s. Goldcard needed for RUU Update, cause Customer ID is different between HongKong and Romania =)
up and running
thanks to all your tips i managed to get my phone back to life using my wifes htc hero ( she was away for a few days ) made the magaic card and flashed the vodafone rom , htc were useless and said i had a vodafone version ( as i live in holland ) not realising it was a second hand one from belgium and yep its very fast and cool now , merry xmas to all
can anyone help me with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5175739#post5175739
Hello everyone,
I recently got this HTC desire shipped from Hong Kong. It contains certain preloaded apps in chinese that I am unable to get rid of. I tried rooting it with unrevoked 3.32 however I get the error Validation error: Backup CID missing... Are there going to be any future releases of unrevoked that would fix this problem or am I never going to be able to root the phone in order to remove this crap!!
i got mine on ebay and it is T-Mobile branded, i tried to root it several times with Unrevoked 3.32. i got the same error: validation error....... don't know how to do
@rishu88: after few hours of searching and trying methods founds on xda dev and others site, i found that we need a goldcard before rooting. i created my own goldcard then rooted with unrevoked 3.32. just one thing, before using your SDcard do a full format on windows with fat32 (not a rapid format) it'll take a while but it's better look at here for how to creat a goldcard: UnlockR
hope i'm helping you mate

no need of a zip file to get root access, you just have to creat your gold card, insert it in your desire, download Unrevoked and follow this tuto, and all is done
Doesn't work
I created my glod card, and used unrevoked 3.32, but still get the same error, Validation error : Backup CID missing, My phone is htc desire , orange branded.

hello Gabis and welcome to XDA-DEV forum my htc desire also was orange branded and with SLCD sceen not Amoled but i followed the steps from that site and i rooted it using unrevoked; just one thing, not all memorycards can be gold cards try a kingstone 2Gb, almost everyone has confirmed that it works! personally i used a sandisk 2Gb and the 2nd try, it works. when the goldcard is ready and operational, unrevoked can root your Desire without any problem. we'll stay in touch, okay? peace.
Guys, I had the same problem, HTC Desire, 2.2, branded Orange, but found this guide and it worked like magic. No goldcard needed or anything.
http ) //rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/howto-fix-the-backup-cid-missing-error-on-unrevoked
I used the first method described. Good luck
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.
Seems someone has discovered how to generate sim unlock codes for HTC devices. Found this over on the Vivid forum, but tried it with my Aria and it seems to work (gotta try it out with my friends T-Mo SIM tomorrow to be sure):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681145
Don't for get to donate!
Tested it and it worked perfectly.
Edit: It seems that it only works for certain networks - Didn't work with a T-Mobile SIM card, but it did work with a PureGSM SIM.
Same, file operation reports success.
Textural success too
It worked, in as much as it matched the output of the original thread's output. If I get my hands on a different SIM, I'll report actual success...
i couldn't get it to work on my CM9 build.... first time i ran it , ran without an actual sim card in the phone , it never got to IMEI checking though , it just failed , tried it again , sent out another mail and it didn't work like 4 times
afraid to do it on my daily Aria
Are you S-OFF? You must be S-OFF and currently only AlpharevX or an XTC clip are known to gain S-OFF on the Aria.

Actually, I was mistaken. Alpharev.nl is deprecated and Revolutionary.io is the preferred (only?) software S-OFF for Aria.
HTC aria , running CM9 updated to 2.2 stock , then rooted , then flashed roms
i have revolutionary s-off
hboot 6.02.1002
can't get it to work
open mccmnc file fail
open CID file fail
process done , reboot device ?
press volume up
So I got a chance to try it with a co-workers T-Mo SIM and it didn't work even though all the screen messages looked right. Oh Well.

Alpharev(X) and unrEVOked joined teams to create Revolutionary. Yes, Revolutionary is the preferred method to S-OFF the Aria (with the required HBOOT).
got it to work on another SD card tho
ok so it worked with another SD card on the first try ... weird but cool
so does anyone know if this will persist through updates , rom flashing , and or upgrades
and is it safe to run again at a later date....
how serious is the change of what was done ??
just curious if this can hurt in any way
This method doesn't seem to like Partitioned SD cards.
It tried it with a non-partitioned one and it worked.
However, I then tried a T-Mobile SIM and it didn't work, asked me for the code. :/
doesn't work it seems ....... tried a tmobile sim card today , and it asked for the unlock code , tried to skip and didn't do anything
hi.
the same for me.
fat32 init ok
reading config.dat [37]bytes
open CID file fail
wait for AMSS ready...
get device IMEI success
IMEI cheking ... PASS!
process done , reboot device?
after reboot it again asks for 8 digit network unlock code
