Help Can't flash the HTC EU ROM because of CID

I'm stumped here!

I'm trying to flash the HTC EU ROM onto my Asia market HTC One V (unlocked bl, rooted, cwm recovery). The two ROMs are compatible as they are both for the same part number (PK7610000). In the android-info.txt inside both ROM.zips the only difference is the rotten CID.

I've searched the forum and Google high and low to solve this and have come up with the following:

1. Running the RUU. Result: "Wrong customer" error.

2. Grabbing rom.zip from RUU temp files, renaming PK76IMG.zip, flashing from bootloader. Result: No dice.

3. Repeat step 2 on a Goldcard. Tried MMC0 and MMC2 (GoldCard generator got errors with MMC1). Result: "CID incorrect! Update Fail!"

4. Flashing zip from command line as follows:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
Result: "CID error"

5. Relocking bootloader and repeating #4. Result: same.

6. Change CID as follows: fastboot oem writecid HTC__001. Result: COMMAND ERROR!

7. Downloaded various other fastboot.exe and re-run step 6. Result: COMMAND ERROR!

8. Flashing with fastboot: fastboot flash system system.img. Result: "FAILED (remote: data length is too large)." This one boggles me because the extracted system.img for the HTC UE ROM (what I'm trying to flash) is identical to the HTC Asia ROM (what I have).

9. What's your idea???????

BTW, can I replace the android-info.txt in the HTC EU ROM with the one from the HTC Asia ROM without negative ramifications?
 
First try with SimpleGoldCard was only MMC0. Tonight I tried MMC1 and MMC2.

MMC1 didn't work. SimpleGoldCard.exe reported errors and couldn't produce the GoldCard.

MMC2 produced a different CID and successfully generated a GoldCard, but the install failed again: "CID incorrect! Update Fail!"

Any more ideas? It can't be impossible to do this!
