Help How do I 'use' a Goldcard?

[johnsoap]

This may be a stupid question but just how do I 'use' the goldcard?
I turned my phone on with the goldcard inserted and connected my phone to my PC with the USB cable and ran the RUU - Result = failure :-(
Do i need to boot the phone in a special way?

Please Help!

No, that should be all you need to do.

Be aware of a couple of points:

1/ Not all MicroSD cards work, some don't for reasons unknown/
2/ The Goldcard is tied to your SDCard, not your phone, if you try a different SDCard, you need to regenerate the code. Likewise, a goldcard once created can be used in ANY HTC phone that understands goldcards.

OK - here is all the info I can discover about my phone.

I created a goldcard using a 2gb MicroSD card made by Kingston and i followed the process at:

How To: Create a Goldcard | TheUnlockr

I downloaded file:
RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe from Index of /shipped/Legend/

I turned my phone on with the goldcard inserted and connected my phone to my PC with the USB cable and ran the RUU - Result =

ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

Here are all the numbers from my HTC Legend

So far I have tried to load the following RUU files - they all failed with the same error!
