Yeah, you absolutely need a goldcard. Which guide did you follow?

This guide + using the sdcard that came with the phone seems to work, usually.

If you want to unlock it to change networks, me and mum did this thing, cost around £20, all you do is send them the imi number (what ever it's called under the battery) and they send you a code you type into your phone, well, they send it by email, we had my Hero unlocked from T-mobile to Tesco that way. If you want lil bit more info I can ask mum for you if you want buddy.

Debranding is not the same as unlocking; it's switching out the branded firmware put on by your mobile network for the original one created by HTC.

(Although in this case it's technically just switching branded firmware, not debranding).
