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

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

Can this machine be rooted now and without changing to another version of rom? Many Thanks.
ive rooted, but unfortualty, I couldnt figure out how to keep the same rom (not that I wanted too) but I wanted to make a nandroid back up. but I went right through...and I am not sure is flashing the sappimg.zip changes the rom (kinda new to all this), I know thats what changes the SPL and gives you the vodaphone splash. So maybe if you took and nandroid back up after you flashed the sappimg.zip and before you applied the update.zip, you might be able to get it...
(if does work, mind posting up the rom) I would like it for future use...

Hi,
I have rooted my HTC Android Donut 1.6 with Goldcard method yesterday, because simpler method wasn't working for me (It was a lot of work and lots of info to consume for first timer, wheew...). So I was back to Cupcake 1.5. Today I updated my recovery ROM to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G, because old recovery ROM wasn't loading (Home+Power got stuck at Vodafone screen).
After that I downloaded TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix from the forum and tried to flash it through recovery mode, everything went fine, but after rebooting device wouldn't go past Vodafone screen. I tried wiping out and reflashing, tried few other ROMs, but nothing helps, same problem. I spent 4 hours trying to figure out WTF and frustration is kicking in... Please, could somebody help me out?

You flashed wrong recovery,you must flash H recovery see at the end of your file/device

I just tried to change ROM to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H. After that I reflashed ROM TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix. Still doesn't boot. Any other ideas?
What were your first specs?
I really don't know. I never bothered to write them down, because I didn't expect to get to this point following tutorials, that everyone uses.
Make sure your flashing a 32b rom and did you wipe everything first
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I only tried to install 32B ROMs and always wiped out data before flashing. I even tried wiping out through fastboot and cmd.exe with command "fastboot wipe system -w".
So many views in this thread and no helpful answers. So, no one knows how to fix this? I would really be satisfied if I could at least revert it back to original OS and wouldn't touch it anymore. It's driving me crazy...
It took me whole efing day, but I finally solved the problem... I was searching google for this "SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H" and found some german forum. Some guy had similar problem, and had a solution for it. Now I'm back on Cupcake 1.5. Most important thing is that, I'm able to boot device.
So, could anyone suggest what steps should I take to not get in same position? What rooting path (tutorial) should I take and what precautions?
Now I'm on:

Long time since I have been on this forum. Anyway, got a friends 32B mytouch that I have been meessing around with. Had the ginger yoshi rom running for a few days.
I went to update radio and spl today and definately screwed that up. I have no recovery, and can only get into the bootloader screen.
Heres my stuff:
saph PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
Hboot 1.33.0009
cpld-10
radio-6.35.16.19
It is a 32B but now shows 32A. I have tried a couple of the fastboot tools and have not suceeded to flash any other radio, SPL, or any recovery. I have tried flashing the SAPPIMP.NBH OG way of rooting and it never passes the RADIO update.
Thanks
Someone please let me know if they have any advise.
try not to flash the sapping in fastboot and try it from a goldcard in h boot
To make a gold card i understand you need your CID #. How do i get that if my phone wont boot. Can this be done via fastboot?

No, but you can do it from any Android powered phone. However, I'm not sure flashing a sappimg is exactly going to work. This is more mumilover's area, so hopefully he'll check in and can add his thoughts.
Thanks DonJuan. Yea, i have a post into Mumilover. Hopefully he can help.
I'm thinking the fix is going to be somewhere around flashing an engineering SPL and then flashing the correct SPL/radio combo, but even that's going to require a goldcard.
Yeap... goldcard is essential :0)
Any android phone can make it...
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.
Thankyou

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

Thanks to all that are willing to help.
Hmmm looks like I my have jumped the gun ...you see I had no sdcard detetion before but then I found away to get sdcard detetoin again and 4 hours ago I thought it would make everything better but as I was trying root the phone I was having trouble with that , I tried to use supertool root opption.. but that did not work it said rooted but it was a fail.
If I can get root then things would be a lot better.
Any ideas to help . Thanks to everyone that helps
Well looks like I'm in more of a pickle becaues of my spl not allowing me to root my htc magic it looks like the only way to do this is to create a goldcard and then try again
Well I tried superoneclick to root my phone and it half roots my phone by putting the su file in the wrong place in the /system/xbin where it should be in /system/bin...? Any thoughts I need some help
What stock rom do you have? If you have 3.05.401.1 - so it has root ALREADY
Ruu sapphire htc wwe s.africa 3.05.421.3 is the rom that I am using... But I do not have root accesse
Is this still a problem ?
Yes its still a problem

New I'm going to flash a new radio using fastboot commander V.1.0 magic version... Must I use the magic tab and erase system +userdata+cache and hit flash new or flash the radio with hboot,radio,recovery tab?
The radio I'm going to flash is radio HTC pvt 32a 6.35.16.19...
Ok I used the magic tab and erase system ect and it was successful flashing SFM 1.2 rom now.....and the flash was successful awesomeness
No need to erase system, data, cache while flashing radio only. But if you will decide to change ROM - yes, do full wipe...
Thanks bud
