Debranded my Desire and last week HTC rolled out an update. I updated and forgot to put my Gold Card in and as a result i have now got no WIFI.
I followed the instructions from Android Central in an effort to fix the problem:
how to fix your broken wifi after this update
Hey guys,
I had the same problem over here: After finishing successfully the OTA 2.10.405.2 installation on my htc DESIRE I encountered the WIFI problem.
It simply said Wifi: Error
To solve this probleme all you have to do is to reinstall the patch manually but this time using a gold card. (Yeah i forget to use one on my unbranded phone... this could be the source of the wifi error)
1.) reuse your old or create a new gold card
2.) download the patch 2.10.405.2 manually

3.) rename the OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_releaseol2djq7rqarka2ka.zip file to update.zip and copy it to the root of your gold card
3.) reboot in recovery mode with your gold card inside and select the install:update.zip file as explained in the froyo guide

4.) reboot
5.) enjoy!
Remember: Next time use your gold card!!!!!
but when i boot the phone in recovery i get an error msg saying:
“failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)”
The soft sailor site goes on to say that This may happen if you have an Windows option activated which hides files extensions.
What is the Windows option and anyother way to get the wifi problem fixed?

I have no idea what a "gold card" is, but I think they (you) mean the SD card. Just put it in a USB card reader and connect it to your PC. Then you just copy and paste the files you need to the root of the drive letter of the SD card.
The Windows option to show the file extensions is in the Windows explorer under Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab...0 -

Root of the drive letter, does that mean just drag and drop to the sd card?0 -
