Help with Perfected SPL

Every time I try to flash my hboot it says that theres a device mismatch or something(cant remember)
can anyone help me, i tried to flash all the hboots that i saw above my version and they all fail.

Problem rooting MT3G 1.2

So I was following the directions on unlockr and I seem to be having some problems.
I downloaded the sappimg and flashed it, restarted and it hung at the first boot screen for 15 - 20 minutes. I restarted into the bootloader mode and tried to reflash the sappimg but its stuck at "[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping" and the progress bar hasn't filled at all...
What should I do? Should I try to restart and do it again or?
Also, my original info on that screen has changed, it was this:

Now it says:

Does this mean it flashed okay and I should just move on in the guide or?
Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: I downloaded the sappimg.zip file a couple of times and I double checked that it copied okay to the goldcard... I think the file is correct but I don't know why I'm running into problems on the first few step
My phone has been sitting this way for almost an hour... Should I just take out the battery and hope for the best or does anyone have any suggestions? It seems that it hasn't flashed anything or done anything at all since it is just saying "unzipping" without any progress... I plugged it into usb because I don't want the battery running out but I'm not convinced its charging...
Anyone?
So I gave up, restarted (by removing the battery) I can still get into fastboot/'bootloader mode' (is this the same as recovery?) and my SPL and Radio information is the same as earlier. 'fastboot devices' reveals my phone in fastboot mode so I think I'm on the right track but I just want to be sure... Should I continue on and do the fastboot commands?
EDIT: PLEASE DELETE/CLOSE THIS THREAD
Despite running into problems, I continued through the guide and it worked out perfectly.
if you phones info in hboot is

then you can proceed to the next steps..
you need the original fender/1.2 radio img , hboot/spl, and amen ra's rooted recovery... and flash them in that order 1st. radio 2nd. hboot/spl and 3rd rooted recovery...
and no hboot is not the same as recovery..fastboot its your hboot/spl

Thanks for the reply, I guess I didn't need to create a thread because I figured it out on my own. I was worried I bricked my new phone but it worked out in the end.
Thanks again! This thread can be closed/deleted.

can't root phone (no sdcard and perfected spl)

I have a Mytouch 3g (32b)
Ok so everything that has led me to this point was that my sdcard was not being recognized anymore after flashing a bad rom. the sdcard is good, it works in the PC, i've tried different sdcards none work in the phone. also it recognizes the sappimg.img file when in hboot so i can flash system images.
problem is whenever i try to flash an "unperfected" spl it makes my phone the "H" version when it should be G

but with the perfected spl i can't flash a recovery, or use adb to trick the phone into thinking i have an sdcard folder.
someone help!! this has been going on for a week i am running out of options. i've read every single thread on xda at this point my head is spinning
