Now, you understand why ALL TUTORIALS say "Create a GoldCard" ?
The GoldCard is here to bypass the CID Check, so it's normal you have this error...
You're tattoo is dead.
But the goldcard is necessary only for branded tattoo, right? I've a unbranded tattoo and i can flash RUU without problem.
If you used 1-click-root you shuld have the files needed to make a GoldCard.

Your Tattoo isn't dead unless you can't make the goldcard.
You'll need another Android phone. Insert the Tattoo's MicroSD Card into it, and get the CID of the Card. Do the goldcard business and whatnot, and then you should be back into the game.
Thx for all suggestion.
Can I create a gold card by hero/magic, and use it on tattoo?

Is a goldcard create by hero usable in tattoo??

It should work.
I saw yesterday that someone made a goldcard using a WM phone.
So try it. See here:

Thanks for your suggestion and it give me hope again.
I will try it tonight and will report if it works..
Please change topic name!
You did not brick your Tattoo. Your Tattoo isn't working simply. You can flash it with right goldcard and it can work again...

You you have the right DreaIMG.nbh file? RC7 is Europe RC29 is US.
no limit
I tried both, still nothing. I get the same message not alow
Where did your device originally come from? The error is related to the nbh file not being compatible. You can Google for this and find lots of discussion about that error message. If it is not US or UK it may take some special steps. There is a process involving a "gold card" that may be what you need.
I am also having this issue. it is a USA Tmo G1 with the DMD64 1.6 update. mine flashes a screen that says "no img file then gets stuck on a 3 colored screen with the radio info. any ideas?

Make sure the card is formatted fat32 and the DreaIMG.nbh is the only file on the card.

I have firmware 1.6 build number DMD64, how would I go about rooting my g1?
i need help with the rainbow screen
my phone is stuck on the rainbow screen i take out the battery and put it back in and it automaticaly turns on and jusmps to the rainbow screen can anyone help me?
(Not Allowed)
Having same issue (Not Allowed)
Will try Goldcard method...
Note - I previously had installed Android 2.2 on this G1 then went back to 1.6 as it was performing ok but slowly....
Was about to try it again but had updated my firmware to DMD64 then I was getting (Not Allowed)
I'll let you know how I get on with GoldCard...
My phone runs fine but can't root it at all with the desktop program and androot 1.6 it says it roots it but then open rom manager and it tells me dont have super user permissions.
i used universal androot and it worked without the hassle of trensfering files to your sd.
So I purchased an HTC Dream from a friend and learned all about the wonders of rooting, and found what i thought was going to be a simple step by step guide to upgrade my phone to android 2.1, and was encouraged to use it after reading all the positive comments. I can't post the link to it as I'm a new user, but you can find it by entering "guide on how to root your htc dream to 2.1" into google, the article is on adroidheadlines.com...
I followed it step by step until I got to step 20. After entering:
adb reboot bootloader
i got "error: closed." Being stupid, I looked around on the internet and came across a page that said putting a file called "DREAIMG.nbh" onto the root of my sd card would fix all my problems. Unfortunately for me I did, and then used fastboot which i (think) flashed that rom (i think that's the right lingo, anyway) To my surprise, I turned on my phone to see "T-Mobile G1" on my screen as opposed to the regular "ROGERS" logo. My phone won't move past that screen and won't even boot into recovery or fastboot. I have this gut feeling i've bricked the damn thing and am looking for someone to tell me it isn't so. To clarify, I'm wondering if there is anyone to factory reset the phone or restore it to its original rom somehow while its in this state.
Any help at all would be appreciated, and i can't seem to find anyone else on the internet stupid enough to have made the same mistake, which is never, ever a good sign.
i think you grab the wrong Dreaimg, there is 2 different ones if im not mistaken.. have you tried turning off phone hold camera then power?
If you can get in there then you can use this guide
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1
These are the instructions you should have followed for Rogers..
The op was actively rooting the dream (just using a clone of the instructions with a typo) 'adb reboot bootloader' instead of 'adb shell reboot bootloader'
The wiki page has this correct, the comment on the article the op read indicates the correct one and comments in the thread on XDA indicate if you are stuck all we where trying to do was enter fastboot..
Unable to find any of what I just mentioned op left the guides for rogers dreams and switched to T-Mobile Howtos and got a t-mobile nbh, having already installed danger SPL it could be flashed.
80% of the time this would have left the user with RC29, however 20% of the time system fails to flash correctly, and you need to flash it again. This is made harder since now you have the rainbow SPL (no fastboot and security locked) 1.x radio, and a Rogers CID. Thus need a gold card.
There are many nbh files however; one with the rogers CID can be flashed without a gold card.
http://www.rogers.com/dream-zip
has the current 911 patched nbh file (unzip it).. that will let you start again, but do note nothing went wrong the first time so don't enter and endless loop please.
(Note I recommend you apply it twice to ensure all partitions are flashed correctly, rogers has the partitions layout of dangerSPL, not t-mobile stock SPLs)
Okay, I understand what I did wrong, and I understand how I WOULD flash the file you provided using fastboot, except that my computer no longer recognises my phone when I connect it, and as a result I can't access the phone using adb... Not sure what to do next. Would placing that file on the sd card using an sd reader change anything? Or is that what you meant for me to do?
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out what I was supposed to do with that file, though the problem remains that my computer no longer recognizes my phone when I connect it via USB. Is this hopeless?
EDIT (again) I tried holding camera while powering up, before it didn't do anything but now the phone has booted to a screen with 4 horizontal coloured bars. the screen reads
"DREA210 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29
Sep2 2008
Serial0"
Not sure if that means anything but I figure it could. Please advise.

That is also how you can flash the rogers 911 nbh from the 0.95.* spl that has no fastboot..
It may fail but it will likely then have 1.33.0010 and the 3.x radio that if you flash it a 2nd time will work.
Once done remove the file from the sdcard

I really appreciate the help but I'm very new at this and I'm not entirely sure of what it is you're asking me to do
So does that mean all i need to do is remove the G1 image from the sd card and put the rogers one on via an sd reader and I'll be okay?

And power on while holding camera it ought to ask you if you want to flash it..
Well I followed all of the instructions and removed the bad image from the sd card and put on the one you provided, turned on the phone, attempted to flash it, and got to a screen that says "Update terminate UPDATE FAIL" ... ideas?
Remove sdcard, boot holding camera, tell me all the text at the top of the screen
"DREA210 PVT 32B RUUNBH
HBOOT - 0.95.0000
CPLD - 4

Interestingly enough, when I boot to that screen now (despite having no sd card in the phone anymore) it still switches to the screen it tried to update with before (light blue background, darker blue text) for a split second before switching back... it never did that before, I'm not sure if that means anything.
Again, I really appreciate all the help though I'm starting to consider sending it to someone for JTAG if we can't find a solution
Hem I think rc29 on a gold card will make your phone into a T-Mobile dream that can be rooted with the telnet method.. remember you will have a 1.x radio so you will not want to directly install danger spl.
The big trick IS unless you have another HTC phone making the goldcard
I'm nt sure what you mean by all of that I tried backing up the fles on the sd card and only putting that nbh file on the card and that didnt work. I tried putting it on with all of the other files that were on it before in place of the other nbh that screwed up the phone in the first place... unsure what to do next. Was i supposed to put the "HTC update" file on the sd card without unzipping it? :S I'm so lost. ezterry, you're from toronto and do jtag service right? cause I'm not too far away...
Okay so scrap everything I said before. I decided to investigate the whole goldcard thing and to me it sounds like it's my best bet. I have a buddy who's willing to let me use his HTC Magic to complete the process. I found a guide online here
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
It sounds easy enough to follow, but I have a few questions. First, does the app "GoldCard Helper" still exist, because i know google has taken apps off the market before. Secondly, would you recommend this method/ have any advice or maybe a different way of doing things? and thirdly, just using my friends phone to get the CID for the sd card doesn't pose any threat to it at all, right?
This Page is a full Tutorial of how you can Make a Goldcard For your Incredible-s s710e to flash a Stock rom in your ANDROID Mobile Phone for Upgrading Purposes. If you try using the RRU Vivo Update exe Then it will give A CID (CID = Carrier ID) Error. To prevent this Error and Flashing the rom For upgrading , Use this Tutorial To Update/Upgrade your Phone's Rom via the "Goldcard" . All the best .
Information :
This guide explains how to Change your default rom to a new Rom by the use of a GoldCard . A GoldCard is a special SD card which, when inserted into your device, allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example, if you own a Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon branded device, this will allow you to flash a Generic ROM and Debrand it .When you CID unlock, you are making the phone so its not "locked" to a specific carrier's rom. This method is also applicable to Unbranded (Carrier Unlocked) devices too. I have Performed this Method for UPDATING The HTC Incredible-S S710E ... And it WORKS !!! .
This method is used to Upgrade/Downgrade a Generic Rom version . For example if You have bought a Device with Rom version Froyo and you want to Upgrade it to Gingerbread , Then this method will help you to do so.
This method is to be used on S-ON Devices , S-ON Means that the Nand of the Device is locked and you cannot flash Custom Roms on the device , as it Does NOT Have The Super User root Permissions. If you have a Device with S-OFF Then you can flash Custom Roms to your Device.
If you see "VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL" then your device is a locked Device and you cannot root this device. And you cannot load Custom made Roms in your Device . Android developers are trying to unlock the Nand but its not yet done.
How to check wether Your Device Is S-ON / S-OFF :
1. Go to settings tab On your Device and then Go to Power Options and Uncheck the "Fast Boot Option" .
2. Power down the phone (Shutdown) .
3. Now Holding the Volume down button Press the Power Button , You will Boot into the Bootloader Option . On the top of the screen you will find the info .
This Post deals with the Upgrading of the device not Downgrading but i will surely write about Downgrading in my other Post .
Be careful while Using this guide. I will not be responsible for any Bricks . I have tried this and it worked for me fine and on my first try .
What do you need to Perform This Method :
Spare microSD card (2Gb/4Gb/8Gb) , Any brand any speed. I have used MicroSD Card 8Gb Class HC 6 and HC 4 , Both worked For me .
A PC Running windows Operating System (recommended) , 32 Bit/64 Bit Any - No bar . I have used Windows 7 64 Bit and 32 Bit Both and it worked fine on Both .
Latest HTC Sync software installed from the HTC Website. The link can Be found Here : http://www.htc.com/in/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=389&cat=3&dl_id=1073
HTC Sync is required for drivers only .
HxD Hex Editor, available for download in any language comfortable for you from HxD website. The link to the download is Found Here :http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD
HxD Hex Editor used for Creating the Goldcard .
You will need a Goldcard Helper Application installed in your Android Mobile Device (This application Helps you generate a so called "Goldcard" by reading your MMC card's CID and by automatically Reversing it. This information can then be used as input for the PSAS goldcard Generator webpage) . This application can be Downloaded from the Android Market . If you do not have a working internet connection in your android device , or your internet connection on your device is slow (No 3G/Wi-fi) then you can also download it from Here :http://www.ziddu.com/download/15152969/GoldCardHelper_2011-05-28_02-57-14.zip.html
Important : Install the Goldcard Helper tool To the C: Drive of your Android Phone i.e Not on the memory card but in the Phone memory (Consumes Very Little Space).
.Net Framework 2.0 (Usally Inbuilt in Windows 7 64 Bit / 32 Bit .) .
Thats all you need for making The Goldcard .
Step by step instructions : For making the goldcard (Simplest Method - Tried and Tested Working) :
Connect the memory card via the Phone (Use data mode/Disk Drive Mode , Not sync mode ) . Or you can also use a Memory card Reader if you have the MMC SD Card adapter for the Micro SD Card .
Format the microSD card to FAT32 format (Do not format it in NTFS Format ).
Now open the Goldcard helper tool Which you have Already downloaded and installed it in your Mobile device . And click Goldcard Helper Icon In your Menu Screen .
The Goldcard Helper tool Will Automatically generate the Reverse CID Values for your MMC And The C drive of your System. Use the first MMC Card reversed CID Value , NOT the C: Drive Reverse CID Value .
Use the first One "Card: mmc2"
The image Here shown is What you will see when you launch the Goldcard helper tool on your Android Mobile . The CID Value is Reverese in Nature so you need not to reverse it any more . Use The first CID Value (Card:mmc2) . The CID Value will look something like this :
00544b5107943247039c7d22bd005553
Now Visit The Revskills Page Here : http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
Enter your reversed CID number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you on your provided E-mail Adress within 15 Minuites .
Download the Image File sent To your Mail Id And save it in any location You want.
The Downloaded Image from The Email Will Help you to Make your Goldcard For Flashing Your HTC Incredible-S S710E .
Now Open the HxD hex editor. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must run the application With administrator Previledges (Run as an Administrator).
Go to the 'Extra' menu and select 'Open Disk'. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card) , now uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk.
This is important (Choosing the Physical Disk NOT The Logical Disk) else you will not have a Goldcard And your Android Phone will not Load the Image File That you place on your Goldcard MMC !
Now Go to the 'Extra' menu again and select 'Open Disk Image'. Open the goldcard image that you received by email. When prompted for 'Sector Size' , select the option - "selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)" and then click OK.
You will see two tabs in the Hex editor window - One is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image. Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the 'Edit' menu and choose 'Select All' option then select the 'Edit' menu again and select - 'Copy' . The selected sectors will be selected .
Now Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 0000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (include the 0000170 line too), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'. It will copy Down on to your Mmc card .
Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Save', accepting the warning.
You now have a goldcard .
To Test what we have done : After doing all the procedure stated above. Remove the memory card and then Insert back the memory card to the Phone Or the MMC Reader and check wether it opens up. If the card Says Format Then The card is not prepared , Repeat the steps above to Prepare your Goldcard .
After the Goldcard is Prepared , Rest is very Simple. Download the Rom You want to flash (I will be Posting the Exact image files extracted From The RRU's in my subsequent post's) . If you want you can Download them from there.
I will also Post How to Use The rom image in a Gold Card to Upgrade Your Android Mobile Device In my later Posts .
HAPPY Upgrading Using the Goldcard . !!!
I AM NOT A DEVELOPER , BUT I AM A POWER USER TO EXPLOIT MY DEVICE'S POWER BY MODIFYING IT . I CAN HELP DEVELOPERS BY TESTING THEIR NEW FILES ON MY SYSTEM.
You can visit my Blog Page and follow it if you like my work :http://hackmydev.blogspot.com/
Note : This guide is a compilation of many guides posted in diffrent forums . To ease the users i have compiled this in a much simpler language and the easier way to understand and make a goldcard.
Hey,
Thanks heaps for your post. I'm sure a lot of users are going to find this extremely useful.
I have a question...may seem silly but just confirming...
So I can use this method to basically rid my phone of carrier "bloat"? and have the latest stock, clean Gingerbread ROM from HTC on my device?
And still be able to update periodically OTA?
Thanks in advance.

Yes . This method will relieve you from using your Carrier specific Rom. You can install any Carrier Rom / Non carrier specific Rom with this method... keeping in mind that the Rom that you are using for flashing is a Stock Rom (Rom provided by HTC - Unadulterated / Unmodified) .
After flashing any Rom of your choice you can get updates OTA . No problems .
This method will Debrand (Relieve you off carrier specific Rom) Your phone's Rom
Thanks heaps for your reply.
One last thing, can I go back to the Carrier ROM? and/or back up my current if I have any dramas?
Thanks again.

Sorry for the late Reply.... I was out of Town ....
Now here is the catch... If you just remove your "Bloat" and again want to go back to bloat in times of need ..... Be sure to flash your firmware with the same version.... That is ... If you have 2.2.1 bloat then upgrade to 2.2.1 Stock rom Withought Bloat....
If you upgrade to 2.3.3 From 2.2.1 Then you cant downgrade.... as 2.3.3 uses a higher radio version than 2.2.1 so downgrade is not possible for the Phones with S-ON ...
Happy flashing with care
Great progress!
I'm guessing this process only works for the S710e and NOT the S710a (Bell)?
Thanks for the effort
Hmmmm...

The system specs are the same for S710e and the S710a... But if the nand locking differs.... which i suppose is not then i think the phone can be flahed with this technique
Its not that the nand locking plays a part in this process.... as this process does not involve Rooting
It is basically a loading technique for a new rom into the system so.... it supposed to work.... on any Incredible S S710E/A with same hardware straints ...
No worries at all.
Thanks again mate. You've really given me some relief here. I'm hoping removing my carrier bloat will improve battery and stability.
Yeah I'm running 2.3.3....so basically what your saying is, don't go above that with any ROM?
How do I flash my current?
Cheers.

Actually i was saying on the context of your phone having Froyo 2.2.1 ...since you have 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) by default ....then just flash any rom with radio version same or higher than the present radio version of your Rom .....
You might download the rom from the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
And flashing technique from :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003457
Abd shell commanding is not required... thats a diffrent process....
Follow the part of extracting the Rom.zip file from the RRU.exe. And renaming it to PG32IMG.zip ....
And for starting the Flashing.. just hold the power button and the volume down button ..you will enter bootloader mode... Follow the on screen instructions Then its done !!!

Oh ok. Thanks again mate. So the base-band has to be the same or higher as well as the firmware version? Sorry if I'm a little slow with this, I'm all over other stuff but have just come into the Android world and even at this stage am loving it...just wish I could root this phone instead...sooo much easier and so much more freedom... haha
And I can download the clean, factory HTC ROM from HTC directly??
Thanks again for your time and patience...
HI there,
I'm keen to give this a try to get rid of the Optus stuff. I do have a question, apologies if it is a silly one:
Is doing this going to erase all the apps / Internet bookmarks / messages etc?
Thanks for the thread and advice.

Flashing a new ROM using an official RUU installer always wipes everything clean in the phone's internal memory. So, yes.
Finally...
After reading this thread.
My Goldcard seems to be working.
My problem was the Goldcard Tool I used to retrieve CID is giving me the wrong CID. Thus CID incorrect.
Using the Android app is more helpful.
Thanks to TS.

Hi would you know if this method would work on an HTC Desire S?
I bought my DS from Europe and want to upgrade it to the Middle Eastern ROM so that I can have the Arabic keyboard and read Arabic font correctly.
Do you have any idea if this method would work for what I want to get done?

i had that same ROM, don't waste your time trying alpharevx on that, you'll need a gold card and download an WWE RUU and try it again.
Hey guys, have a problem with my g1.
Iam from germany, sorry for my english.
Get it with android 1.6 and try to root, with the goldcard method.
so, read my cid with astro, an typed the number backwards in http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
sure in 2 blocks, and check it twice.
than, use HxD and make my sd (2gb fat 32) to an goldcard.
than copy the dreaimg.nbh (android 1.0?) to sd and try to flash with the bootloader.
so far so good, at the end of flashing:
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
Now, i dont know what to do, restarting the g1 do always restart the prozess, and everytime the same..
if anyone can help me, and undestand german look to http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...nach-goldcard-flash-fail-tun.html#post1625332
I used the german manuals from android-hilfe.de
