help me please
Have you followed each step in the guide? Have you created the GoldCard?
Send me your phone specs and each step that you are trying I might be able to help you.
I followed each step and I created the Gold card. In step 5 (run RUU), it did not complete, but I received the zip file and I put that in my Sd card!
IN step 9 I run DOWNGRADER but it receive this message( I sent you before). (Windows 7, 64 bit)
Can you send me the message that downgrader gave you again?

Yes I rooted my phone, because I have the Superuser app.
Error seems script not getting the root access. Check that.
Thank you very much for this wonderful guide.
I ran your recipe but using Linux as follows:
1. Created GoldCard.
2. I get error (see the attached log) regardless of whether the GoldCard get formatted as FAT32 or not.
3. Extracted rom in Linux.
4. Mounted GoldCard and copied PB99IMG.zip to the root of file system of the goldcard.
ls /media/4EA5-1214/
PB99IMG.zip
where 4EA5-1214 is the name of the SDcard. The result is the same whether SDcard is inserted into phone or an external USB card reader
5. Ran downgrade.sh as root: sudo ./downgrade.sh
Here is the log:
