Downgraded from the perfect SPL, Cant Flash roms?

Im no noob to rooting flashing or hacking G1s (so im familiar with the process and know adb pretty well). MyTouch3g (32B) is new though and already bricked one doing this process previously.
Currently on my second one and want to get this right.
SPL was: 1.33.2006
Successfully downgraded to
1.33.2005
I can confirm I have root with the google Ion rom I am running.
My issue now is when I try to flash a new rom.
When I flash an update.zip it seems to install ok, but just sits on the my touch splash.
this is unless its an official rom, currently running Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip.
Can someone let me know if im missing something.
Had the same issue with the last one I bricked, trying to avoid a repeat.
Thanks

Fastboot Info
Figured I should post my fastboot info
By the way this was downgraded and rooted using the goldcard method.

uk vodafone HTC Magic / perfected SPL & remote: not allow!

Hi guys, dont know if I have asked this question in the right place, but here goes. I have had my magic 32b on Vodafone for 8 months, and for the last 6 I have been using Fatal1ty's hero/rosie rom with mainly satisfaction, after disabling the touch-flo home screen nonsense. There were a few issues that niggled me so I tried to hunt down a newer version. Somehow, after upgrading successfully to CM5 and liking the look, I backed up via nandroid and flashed a new rom. I am now stuck with a T-Mobile mt3g rom which wont let me get passed the google sign up screen, and my data package is not in service until monday.
here is what my details look like as of now......

I have read so many posts now that im not sure where to start. I would like to know if there is a SAPPimg available to overcome this problem, i cannot access phone via adb or fastboot as i have no custom recovery installed anymore and no access via fastboot as remote is not allowed!
My hair is turning ever greyer, any help would be amazing.
(already tried the goldcard routine with no avail, but maybe i did it wrong.)
Peace

Need help...Friends phone

Hey guys really sorry if this has been posted over a hundred times or whatever but I really need help. I was trying to do a favor for my friend and flash his phone with a custom recovery and maybe a new rom and I ended up using Radio Switcher because it had a perfected SPL and from there I ended up here

You have S-Off so just lookup on how to use fastboot commands to flash the needed radio, recovery and spl.
I really hope that this isn't a US T-Mobile device.

First combo, we could have helped you out...
But the second combo... ooohhh... bad one...
Perfected spl and wrong radio/spl combo... NOT GOOD!
Try to flash the sappimg.zip that gave you the first spl version (1.33.2010).
If you get that back, then we can work out the rest pretty easy!

Are you trying to intentionally brick your friends phone?
[RANT]
I'm guessing that you didn't do much reading before actually messing with his phone did you?
MyTouch 1.2 (aka Fender, aka LE) w/3.5mm headphone jack
Ultimate Guide: How to root myTouch 1.2/LE Fender (3.5mm jack)
Look, I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time but this is exactly what I was talking about a few days ago.
There is so much confusion over this device! It's not hard! Anyone that thinks that is is should have been around when the device first came out! DAMN THAT WAS ROUGH! But it was a learning experience. And through that learning experience we made apps (Androot) and guides and stickies JUST FOR THIS! Yet... how does this keep happening??? Someone explain it to me... please. I'm desperate to know.
[/RANT]
With that said... you are going to have to use a goldcard now that you have S-ON, still not rooted, no custom recovery, etc. You won't be able to boot the phone up because you are DEFINITLY using the wrong radio. You'll be lucky if you didn't completely brick it already.
Use the links above to create a goldcard. I'll warn you that this can be a pain in the butt ( not to mention that some sdcards are notorious for not working at all for this method!) because it requires getting ANOTHER android phone, putting the sdcard in to get the serial number of the sdcard (unless someone knows another way to get it), entering the code into a website to get the goldcard image e-mailed to you then using a hex editor to copy the bootsectors of that goldcard image enter the code into the hardware of the sdcard via card reader so you can use the freshly made goldcard, then all that's left is dowloading the right sappimg.zip file, placing it on the root of the sdcard and booting into the bootloader. You would flash the goldcard image At that point you will be have the Engineering (S-OFF) SPL again and the CORRECT radio. Once that is done you only need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (G type, not H)
Then flash the stock SPL back.
Then you will be free to flash a 32B type rom through recovery.
After you have done ALL OF THAT! Your friend might spare your life.
Here... try something like this. Maybe you can find someone to help.

Heres my issue...
No rom or recovery rom that works
yes bootslpash screen
yes fastboot with security
I need a solution that involves
a funtional rom
ability to flash to funtionality
I have researched and troubleshooted this problem extensively; to no avail! Even though I should have already, I will donate 20$ for attention and 30$ for solution.

You need a few things.
1. goldcard
2. A sappimg.zip with a higher version than what you have with an Eng spl. (Preferably for 32b)
3. Time, patience
4. Luck
All of these are easy to find or get besides time, patience, and luck

Im currently looking for sappimg.zip that contains the required criteria. I will post after flash attempt...
thank you

forgot to mention
I forgot to mention a common occurance since I lost custom recovery and custom rooted rom, ect.
the "goldcard-sappimg-flash" process freezes or hangs at [4] SYSTEM during the unzipping portion

As you have MT3G v1.2 / Fender - it is too hard to restore your phone after your faulty actions. You bricked your phone, when flashed inappropriate hboot and radio

That post seems to be talking about mismatched radio and spl. His match, but are the wrong ones. He should be able to flash a sappimg.zip to get an Eng spl and fix from there

Ironically, the thread you have suggested is the first thread I followed to configure my device for the "carz" latest custom rom.
Is there a way around the "unzipping hang" that happens during system partition portion of RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver flash? I have also tried the goldcard method with extracted rom.zip of the mentioned RUU rom with same result.

Yeah, but solution is same. Sure, he can start from step 2, cause he has combo without mismatch between hboot and radio already.
And yes, should flash 2.53.707.2 to get special combo with eng spl and then return to stock.

I was having problems rooting my Rogers HTC Magic+. I used this method and it worked like a charm to get root, Eng SPL. After that I was able to flash custom recovery and ROMS.
The ROM in my Signature works really well.

Flash the original "RRU", then root with androot.apk from market, install rommanager from market and flash recovery, reboot recovery and flash the ENG spl

solved your problem yet? maybe i may help.

no... i have not solved my problem yet your help would be greatly appreciated

[Q] Is it possible to downgrade 1.33.0014 to 1.33.0013?

Can I downgrade from HBOOT-1.33.0014 to HBOOT-1.33.0013.
After updating hboot through HTC Unlock Bootloader hoping for benefits, now I can't flash some ROMs because not being at least 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d.
How can I revert to original spl?

Would appreciate any suggestion, thanks.

Solved!
1. Relocked the bootloader in fastboot using: fastboot oem lock.
2. Download misc-edited.img
http://www.4shared.com/file/M7NfPvFO/misc-edited.html
3. Copy misc-edited.img to sdcard
4. With Rom Manager installed type this in a terminal emulator.
# /data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-edited.img
5. After that use the stock-sappimg.zip. Rename it to sappimg.zip and copy it to the sdcard.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/CgyRRX4O/stock-sappimg.html
(stock android 1.6 sappimg for the mytouch 3g 3.55mm)
6. Turn off the phone and then press volume down + power button until bootloader shows. It should pick up the sappimg.zip and flash it.
7. Root with UniversalAndroot_1.5.3.apk (disable antivirus before download it)
http://www.4shared.com/android/ay4Js6MY/UniversalAndroot_153.html
8. Install ROM Manager 4.4.0.6 and flash a recovery.
http://www.4shared.com/android/87Z5gzSF/comkoushikduttarommanager.html
9. Reboot the phone.
10. Download radio 2.22.28.25 and flash it through recovery like any zip file.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/jGsW4akC/update_2222825_S.html
11. Reboot the phone.

Thanks, this is a tricky device and I don't have a clear idea in how to accomplish that in a safe environment. Do you think it's worth the chance? What are the practical benefits in doing so? For now I only know one bonus using ENG SPL in this device and that is erasing everything from fastboot (for that I use superwipe) but flashing still not possible, all other good commands are still excluded.
Please, make me wrong and make me a gift with your guidance.

Heh, I was just joking. What you really get with S-OFF and an ENG SPL are more ways to fix things and more ways to break things.
With S-OFF, the phone won't check the signatures of things you flash using HBOOT or fastboot, so you can get the phone to flash something that's been modified... but you can already do that if you have a custom recovery.
With ENG SPL, you can change just about every setting in the phone and access all of the fastboot commands without getting "remote not allow"... But, again, most of the things that you'd want to do (flashing a custom ROM) can be done with the custom recovery.
And, if I remember correctly, if you use an ENG SPL on a myTouch 1.2, you lose half of your available RAM, at least until you go back to a magic SPL.
I suggest making your life easy and not doing any of these things

That's what I thought too, better leave it unTouch. Thanks for your help.

Yes, using anything but 1.33.0013(d) spl and a newer radio will decrease available ram (by 18mb on 32b, and half on 1.2), and will break headphone Jack and other stuff on the 1.2 until you flash back.
Is that my misc-edited btw? just checked md5sums, seems to be. glad to see someone actually made use of it. you now have all the benefits of a goldcard, without going through the complicated process of making one.
Also, roms can probably be easily updated to support 1.33.0014 ), most likely a 1 line edit to the updater-script

Pmerced, could you dump your current misc partition for me? I have never had the opportunity to look at what happened to my edits after an update.

iam sorry for bad englsh

You can't flash from fastboot on this device unless you have an eng spl.
The normal process of getting a custom rom on the dream/sapphire is first rooting your stock rom, then flashing a recovery from there. Then you update radio/spl as needed and flash a rom.
I have never messed with the 1.33.0014 spl, but from what I've heard, it gives no benefit, just headache.
