[HTC Desire S] balthasar:
Hello to all.

I want specially thank all of you, because I don't remember names that hels me with their solutions during my chaos. (I read houndreds of thousand pages since 41 hours).

Well my situation was:

I bought my HTC Desire S from Vodafone Turkey.

Android: 2.3.3

HTC Sense: 2.1

Main Version: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03

Build Number: 1.47.468.2

It was S-offed.

41 hours ago, I thought that I must(!) flash new RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed...

But something went wrong and I'm stucked on Bootloader with nothing.

I had no GoldCard, no official ROM from Vodafone Turkey (it should something like

RUU_Saga_S_TUR_1.47.468.2_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release or something)

I had only my Nandroid Backup and OTA-Update for 1.47.468.2.

All of my attacks with fastboot turns without anyresults. I only got same Error "CID Incorrect" with RUU or PG88IMG.zip installations

Firstly I had to find a working Goldcard. That could be the only working method...

Today morning. I read in a forum from a different android site (for an another HTC Phone)that if we have a working WinMo device, we can prepare a GoldCard...

Here is the method for a Goldcard,if you don't have an another Android machine to use and your HTC Desire cannot be controlled with adb commands:

1. Find a working WinMo device (mine is HTC Touch HD)

2. Download RevSkills from its own site

(http://psas.revskills.de/?q=node/6)

3. Get a SDCard <4GB (not a SDHC, only a SD Card can be very chip one, too)

4. Put your SDCard to WinMo

5. Run RevSkills (just run. Should not be as Administrator)

6. Open Menu-Calculators/Generators/HTC Goldcard

7. Than push Get CID from WINCE Device. So you will get CID of SDCard.You will not need Reverse CID, but just in case of get it, too.

8. Go to Free GoldCard Generator site (http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard)

Put your SDCard CID in the blank line (important: do not use reversed do not change first 2 letters as 00). Choose your GoldCard Type as Android and push Download Goldcard! button.

9. Download your Goldcard.img to PC

10. Remove your SDCard, find a SDCard Reader,Format the SDCard as FAT32/4096

10. Download HxD HEX Editor from anywhere (you can find it with googling)

11. Run HxD as Administrator

12. Under Extras choose Open Disk and that choose there Removable Disk (att: uncheck open read only checkbox)

13. Under Extras choose Open Disk Image and find your Goldcard.img from downloaded place on your PC (opens a dialog box, just push OK)

14. In goldcard.img Edit/Select All/Edit/Copy

15. Go to removable disk choose from 000 to 170 (included) and Edit/Paste Insert

16. Save it

17. For controlling remove SDCard and insert again.

If you can see your SDCard on Windows Explorer means everything is OK

Here is the method to flash a RUU again.

1. Put your GoldCard SD to HTC Desire S.

2. Go to bootloader with Power+Volume Down

3. Choose Fastboot.

4. In my case I used

RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed

because I had before a 1.47.468.2 ROM

with 1.28.401.2 probably you will get an error message number 140...

After 10 minutes I've gotmy HTC Desire S back and alive...

Again I want to thank all of XDA-Developers member for their brilliant helps...

PS: If you want you can use your Goldcard as a normal SDCard, because it will stay always as GoldCard. It is not important you format it again or not.But I prefer to keep it in a safe place,just in case of emergency :-)
