You'll need to create a goldcard first, did you do that?

Yea i did but i just tried to the whole thing all over again and i noticed after using the hex editor it asks me to reformat the card again before i can use it any idea how to stop that?
EDIT: Flag that i believe i am mildly ******ed and didnt see the REVERSE part of the CID when making the gold card lol... what a twat. works now!!

Ok, well I used the one I posted, it seemed the easiest guide of them all, and I had been across the one you posted. Using the Goldcard Helper app from the market was great because it shows the mmc2 CID Reverse, and I emailed it from the app, then on my computer I went to the goldcard generator website, pasted the CID, my email and was emailed the image, was simple
Glad it worked for you anyway, I panicked a bit when I realised I missed some steps lol
Hi everyone,
Can anyone give me details regarding step 3.
When I have made a goldcard, there is no option of sd card, when I connect it my computer. Then how could I possibly put the PD98IMG.zip onto the root of my SDCard.
Thanks in advance,
Hope u would help me out.

ok dude,
But when I open the hex editor and select the removable disk option, it says the sd card may not be readable. Does it the say the same when you tried too. Need just a little more conformation. Thanks dude..
well i did the swap to the Chinese rom from vodafone 2.37 then tried to do the cmd thing and if i do it like this it does the dollar sign
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell
and then i tried this
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
and that comes up with cannot copy boomsh: permission denied so what am i doing wrong? is this the right way to write the commands? any help would be good thanks
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell
and then i tried this
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
and that comes up with cannot copy boomsh: permission denied so what am i doing wrong? is this the right way to write the commands? any help would be good thanks

The way in post 1 are correct, it worked fine for me... try it again 
if you have issues still try start from the beginning with a different SD Card if you can, although if you got that far the SD Card wont make any difference to the push commands.
Just make sure you type EXACTLY as it says and take note of were there are spaces etc...

make sure you do each line separately, pressing enter after each one
If you continue to get problems, please provide a screenshot
thanks mate well it turns out i didnt understand the commands and after the dollar sign you have to do this /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak without the dot. thanks for your help mate your doing a hell of a job!!!!! and can confirm this works
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell (press enter)
$ /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak

Don't credit me, I just posted the guide
The possibility actually comes from a Chinese ROM with a hole in which enables us to downgrade, I just made a guide on how to do it, because one didn't exist
help mee..
I am stuck in step 9..
how can I go to downgrade folder after I open up CMD??
there is no option in CMD to open downgrade folder..
I don't understand..
If your downgrade folder is c:\downgrade, you'll need to type "cd\downgrade" (minus the quotes). If your downgrade folder is called c:\desirehd\downgrade, you'll need to type "cd\desirehd\downgrade".
Make sense?

El Presidente is right, but made a slight mistake....
If your downgrade folder is c:\downgrade, you'll need to type "cd c:\downgrade" (minus the quotes). If your downgrade folder is called c:\desirehd\downgrade, you'll need to type "cd c:\desirehd\downgrade".
