<b>Information :</b><br />
<br />
This guide explains how to Change your default rom to a new Rom by the use of a <b>GoldCard</b> . A <b>GoldCard</b> is a <b>special SD card</b> which, when inserted into your device, <b>allows you to flash RUU</b> files with a different <b>CID </b>to your own device. For example, if you own a <b>Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon branded device</b>, this will allow you to flash a <b>Generic ROM</b> and <b>Debrand</b> it .When you<b> CID unlock</b>, you are making the phone so its not "locked" to a specific carrier's rom. This method is also applicable to <b>Unbranded (Carrier Unlocked) devices</b> too. I have Performed this Method for UPDATING The <b>HTC Incredible-S S710E ... And it WORKS</b> !!! .<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>This method is used to <b>Upgrade/Downgrade</b> a <b>Generic Rom</b> version . For example if You have bought a Device with Rom version <b>Froyo</b> and you want to Upgrade it to <b>Gingerbread</b> ,<b> Then this method will help you to do so</b>.<br />
</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This method is to be used on <b>S-ON Devices</b> ,<b> S-ON</b> Means that the <b>Nand of the Device is locked</b> and you cannot flash <b>Custom Roms</b> on the device , as it <b>Does NOT Have The Super User root Permissions</b>. If you have a Device with <b>S-OFF</b> Then you can flash Custom Roms to your Device. </li>
