Here is the Goldcard tool

To use:


  1. Format your SD card to FAT32 by going Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage > Unmount SD Card then Format SD Card
  2. Launch the goldcard tool as admin by Right click on App > Run as Admin
  3. Connect your phone to your PC and make sure USB debugging is enabled (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging)
  4. Click get CID (Try clicking MMC0 if MMC1 fails)
  5. Click the link to open the goldcard generator, copy the CID from the tool into it. You will get an email.
  6. Enable USB Mass Storage on your phone.
  7. Click 'Refresh' in the app and select your micro SD card.
  8. Click 'Load goldcard.img' and select the file you received by email.

'Could not locate CID output' What is this? Tried mmc0 and said the same thing.
 
Do you know anyone else with an android device? If so, they could download "goldcard helper" off the market and get you the CID from your card.

No can do, everyone I know is either Windows phone or iPhone. Looks like I'm gonna have to phone HTC to repair it. No idea what to do now.
