Load it to Gold Card Tool

3-Found HTC original Rom for your Device
Extract exe with winrar then rename Ruu_signed.nbh
to
-Sparimg.nbh for Trophy
-SCHUIMG.nbh for Schubert
- MONDIMG.nbh for Mondrian
- MOZAIMG.nbh for Mozart
copy it to your freshly created goldcard.

4-connect usb cable except the one for the wp7

with this you can flash official HTC rom on your Vodafone ,O2,Orange...operator device.
i have also flash Spl from official rom to my vodafone Trophy by this way but always a vendor id error with the official updater!!

Thanks for that, but yet another question. It seems like ansar is doing similar at the moment, or is that different?

HTC HUB

This might be another silly question. but does this effect HTC apps like the HTC HUB in any way??

Also does this restore the phone to factory default?

Hi,

upgrade does not start. Am I missing something?
I am running an Android NAND ROM on my HD2 connected with USB DISK DEBUG mode. I patched the sdcard with the goldcard.img I was sent.
Copied a MOZAIMG.nbh to the goldcard

Then I conect the Mozart in USB Host mode to another USB port on the PC.
Now nothing is happening?

Could it be a buggy USB debig mode on the Android NAND rom on the HD2?

Following GLOBAL UNBRANDING ROM in Mozart thread by ANSAR and do this.

Then you can do that. Anyone know both hex and dec (32 bit?) format for CID and algorithm/checksumming etc?

Done :)

So, you guys who have flashed the unbranded ROMs, did you then get offered the update from MS, or is it still waiting for the carrier?

Hi,

I tried to flash my Trophy using the RUU utils, it seemed to work but then something went wrong and my radio part is all messed up. I can no longer use the RUU program as it reports 'Invalid Model ID'. So my next option was to create a Gold Card and see if that works.

So I have created a goldcard and I copied the image and renamed it, connected all the cables up and it comes up with 'Loading...' on the screen, then changes to 'Checking....' but then brings up a white bar near the bottom saying 'Serial'. And just stops there. Any idea what that means?

Is my goldcard not correct, or my sd card not compatible?

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,

    I just want to correct a few things in the original instructions:
    1 to get CID you use RevSkills, link at the bottom, connect your phone via active-sync, with sd card in it,
    via active-sync I mean phone/PC connection on your phone, I disabled Faster data sync, I used HTC Touch Diamond 2, WM 6.5, Melisa 3 rom
    2 start RevSkills, from the menu select Calculators/Generators/HTC Goldcard, then you get a new window called Generate HTC Goldcard
    3 from the phone menu list select your phone, by default it starts with Alpine selected, at this point maybe would be a good idea to clear the window right below it, just in case there is something there.
    4 press Get CID from WINCE device and watch the window next to "Serialnumber of SD-card (CID):", whatever you get there, it is your CID number.
    5 now press Reverse CID button and notice that the dissplay have changed
    6 copy this changed number and go to this web page: http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
    7 paste it there and fill all the necessary details, the GoldCard image file will be emailed to you very shortly.
    8 go to first post and download the GoldCardTool_0.0.5.zip, unzip it and run it as an administrator on 7 and vista
    9 at this stage you should have your micro SD card inserted to your reader and connected to PC, which means take it out of your mobile phone and put it in your PC
    10 now, in GoldCardTool, there is a drop down list next to HTC MMC:, your card should be listed there, if not remove any other cards and press refresh button, check if the size is right
    11 now press Load goldCard.img and navigate to the folder where you have saved your email attachment from RevSkills
    12 when everything is OK, you should be able to copy your XXXXIMG.nbh on it and try your luck
    There is a very disappointing news for some people and me, I have created this goldcard SD, loaded my image to branded phone and "Not allow", did try a few images and the same result, you can see that the phone is reading the SD card because it takes some time before you get this negative response.
    I did try to load the image with ordinary card and got "No image" straight away.
    At the end I have copied the original branded rom on the card and BINGO it loaded it, but it took at least 20 minutes
    To load the rom to my mozart I have used double USB socket from old motherboard and just soldered red and black wires to it to connect to PC

    The last thing if you are looking for Trophy in the drop-down list of RevSkills, select SPARK, you can find MONDRIAN there as well.
    Here is a link to free edition of RevSkills:
