You didn't say anything about turning that sd card into a goldcard. Did you do that? If you didnt, then there's your problem

Hi, I have the same problem (this is my first day with my new htc magic,and the first day in my life with android).
My magic is a a black, german, vodafone branded 32b version, with 1.6 android on it.
I haven't changed anything on it yet, everything is stock on it.
So, if I just try putting the sappimg.nbh on the sd card and trying to update, it says the same to me:
Model ID incorrect!
update fail!
So I tried to make a goldcard following these steps:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
(on section II. 9. it says to replace the reverse cid first two digit to two 00,my first two digits were "ca",so nut numbers,I've replaced them to 00)
Then I tried to downgrade the phone with the goldcard,but it says:
Main version is older!
Update fail!
I thougt that this procedure will put android 1.5 on my magic,so how can it be that the 1.6 on the phone is "older",than the 1.5 I'm trying to put on it?
What have I done wrong?
What can I do?
How can I put sense rom on my magic?
Any help would be apreciated

You don't need a goldcard with 1.33.0006. Probably an issue with the SAPPimg.nbh you're trying to use. Try this one:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BLM4EDGE
Once downloaded, format your SD card through your phone under 'SD card and storage'. Once formatted, place the SAPPimg.nbh on your sd card. Power down your phone, hold volume down and power until you're in the HBoot screen. Press actions to perform update and wait until complete. You should be at 1.5 at this point.

thanks friend
i am downloading it right now...
hope this one is the good one
one question.... why is my HBOOT 1.33.006 the good one? Perfect or nonperfect spl????

I believe its actually a perfected SPL, however, the one click method still seems to work with this SPL. That's what I'm using, that's what my girlfriends phone has, and I've rooted about 5 other phones using that exact SPL. You shouldn't have an issue. Worst case scenario, you'll have to make a goldcard and should be able to obtain root that way.

Hmmm...strange. Sorry to hear. Goldcard method should get around it just fine. Just make sure you follow the goldcard instructions to the T.

Do you have the correct sappimg.nbh? I remember getting the same error and the problem was that I was using a file that was meant for dream instead of mytouch. the mytouch file should be around 98MB.

The SAPPIMG.nbh what i have is 96MB.. is for the mytouch...
i think to make a goldcard and try it whit that..
32B UNKNOWN From Vodafone.. i cant get the phone sync with my computer..
only to open the map (SD Card)

i have the hope that i walk with a magic with a hero rom. haha

[Q] Is SPL Must for custom rom?

I am new to Android and this is my first device.... Previously, owned HTC P3600, HTC Diamond 2 and now got the HTC Magic today.
I read the Development section and question section...
Just want to confirm the following about it:
Q:1: Is SPL must for custom rom or root can do it for me?
As i read in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918 that it is optional but like in windows it is must to load custom rom... confused!
Q:2: Do the company radio works or i have to load custom radio?
Q:3: Is android too easy to brick as far i remember my all last windows mobiles come alive again what ever i flash to it....?

Yes it's easy to brick if you just start flashing things without doing your research. The best/easiest way to root is to use one of the many programs available that will do it for you without the risk of bricking. I'll let someone else comment on upgrading your radio, but I can tell you that you will not have to update it. There are ROM's that will work with that radio just fine.

You should just follow the instructions for your particular device. Since there are dozens of different MyTouch devices and many of them are different in a variety of ways then it can be argued that there are better methods bearing better results than others. In a nutshell, there is no universal answer to your question. Being unfamiliar with your SPL (HBOOT-1.33.00.10???) I can't even begin to point you in the correct direction. Can you verify that information please?
In most cases it is recommened that you have an Engineering SPL for fastboot access. From there you can easily flash a custom recovery which in turn will allow you to flash a custom rom (along with making system backups, data wiping, etc) but neither are hardly a requirement. Radio? Again... depends on what you have specifically. Some roms require a certain radio or it will fail to even load. And only certain devices with certain SPL's (yours being 1.33.00.10???) can use certain radio types. The danger comes in when you attempt to flash an incompatible radio with the wrong SPL. This is why it is crucial to verify ALL information before beginning.

Any recommended SPL for mine device...?

I believe the OP meant to put 1.33.2010 for his SPL but I don't want to speculate. Could you please post your fastboot information again and double-check that it is correct.

Q1) Yes the spl is optional. When newbies (which are the main target of the guide you linked too) come here, they are looking for an easy upgrade. Playing around with spl and such is not a good idea, unless you do your research... Sadly only 1 out of 100 do that. That's why the custom recovery is a perfect solution. You really have to do some stupid **** before you COMPLETELY **** up your device. Plus you can do almost anything using custom recovery.
Flashing a spl ( as i write in my guide) is only valid if you know some shell commands, know the difference between img and zip files, plus understand how the device is build around the different partitions, e.g. radio, system, misc ect. Sadly only few uses the time to understand the above and we have like 1-3 every day crying for help.
SO - only flash spl if you know what you are doing or have done the research.
Q2) There are no custom radios. Only stock. For your device, the 32A or more correctly the CPLD-12, there are 2 different combos of radio/spl/recovery you can use.
Read around for more info as this has been written like 100 times :0)
Q3) Well, it depends :0)
If you play around with spl or radio you can brick your device. Again to understand why here is some simplified info.
Spl - Secondary program loader - is the data that has to be loaded when the device wakes up. When you push power button, the hardware wakes up, and follows VERY SPECIFIC steps to activate all the internal components. When it's semi done, it goes for the spl to load the rest. The spl always has to be on the same place or the device will not know where to look. The device is like child(which is born again every time you hit the power). When you hit the power button, it have some instincts(the steps) then it gets more and more intelligent as time goes by and more and more data is been loaded and processed. Think of the spl as the first part of computers BIOS. When the spl loads, it has to get some info about the complicated hardware, like the screen, antenna, sound ect. That's what the radio is for. So the spl has to know WHERE to look for the radio, and the radio has to be in a certain format or the spl will be confused. Remember, we are very early in the loading process of the device, so the data is very machine-close and in a very specific format.
When the spl is done, and the radio has been processed, then it will look at the boot partition for info on how to load the OS. The boot partition has info about how to load the OS and the different partitions, e.g. userdata, system ect. It will also try to load the kernel which is the CORE of the OS. It handles the ram, filesystem, I/O, mount of sdcard ect.
BACK TO THE POINT:
If you mess up the first part (spl or radio) then your bricked. You device is like a 2 week old child and is useless. It wakes up, poops on you and sleeps again.
So, DON'T **** UP THE SPL OR RADIO.
If you mess up the rest, you can still recover the device. Some times that can be very limited because of the perfected spl, but that's for another thread :0)
So, for your device, follow my guide and you should be good to go. If you are confident, then flash eng spl also :0)
It's up to you to decide....
Good luck

Thanks everyone i ended up making the device rooted and flashed the custom recovery for a moment....
I have no plan to **** my SPL or radio and play with it later like football....
So, i am happy that i have now rooted and custom recovery installed... Any easy guide to load the rom?
Thank you everyone....

Download ROM, copy to root of SD card, boot into recovery, select flash ZIP from SD card, select ROM .zip file. That's the general idea, but some ROM's require that you flash extra files. For example CyanogenMod will require that you also flash a Google Add-on file.

Any rom that don't require any extra work and flash directly?

Come on... you started this thread perfectly... now don't mess it up.
Read around, do some research. You will find 90 % of your questions has already been answered within the first 10 threads...

Ok, thnx for your reply... i got the rom but i am scared that many refer to have nandbackup to restore if something goes wrong... and i didn't found the step by step guide to do so.... and yes one more problem appered my htc sync no longer detect the device.... i am still looking for the solution to this....

(PLEASE HELP...WILL DONATE TO ANYONE WHO HELPS ME FIX THIS) THANKS ALOT.

As you understood, you can not downgrade to stock rom 2.10.531.4 from foreign 3.12.531.1. ROM checks versions and raises error.
The ROM version is in misc.img image. It is too hard to change it while phone is not even booting.
Fastboot with hboot 1.33.0013 does not allow remote commands.
Adb is not working cause it works in normal mode or in custom recovery
T-Mobile did not release RUU-version of FRG83D rom, only OTA.
And it is problem... May be anyone knows more...

Oh well...ima keep trying anything, and everything to get back.
but I figured if i can get a custom recovery on this phone, i could flash a eng spl...but i cant even do that, i guess this phone might as well be fully bricked...
{P.S}WTF IS UP WITH THIS GOLDCARD.....i went through all the trouble of making it and its useless...
Amon-Ra should come up with a program to fix dis lol

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 croniccorey for offering the final and working solution
I have left my previous posts in quote boxes so people can follow my processes and steps below.
Ok, I'm going crazy here and I've read hundreds of threads on various forums to no end of my problem. I have my g/f's old myTouch 3G and figured I would set it up as a Google Voice/Skype only device. I also figured I'd finally venture into custom ROMs (since I have a Verizon Xperia Play...and modifications on that are too risky for me; damn locked bootloader!).
Anyways, I had no issues rooting with SuperOneClick, the I updated OTA (which I think was a huge mistake). I then flashed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 and all the fun began! Initially I couldn't get into Recovery no matter what I tried, even with RA (and thus not be able to flash CM6). Everytime I did, booting would just hang at the myTouch 3G splash screen; but I could still fastboot and boot normally. My 2nd problem was that I realized I had a "Perfect" SPL. I figured this was the issue, but I couldn't get into Recovery to flash a better one.
Eventually I read something where someone said to IMMEDIATELY reboot into recovery after flashing...I figured caps meant super important, so I did and oddly IT WORKED! So I flashed a better SPL...phone rebooted a few times, then it hung at the splash screen again. I waited 5 minutes, thread I was following said to wait 2 minutes before pulling the battery, so I did. I booted into fastboot to see if it worked and my SPL was listed at the one I flashed, so I figured all was well.
Now when I boot, everything just hangs at the splash screen. I can still access Recovery and Fastboot, so its not like I'm bricked or anything. I'm at wits end here, and its time I just break down and ask for help.

After further research and suggestion, I decided to follow up with a different rom and spl/radio with the hopes that I would solve the issue I had of my device hanging on boot splash screen. However, after all of my steps I ended up now with a device that loops the boot sequence (never getting pass the splash screen though).
I followed these instructions for CronMod 1.0.6 EXACTLY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641521 (also flashed with AnyKernel at the step listing it as a possible need)
I was met at this stage with the boot loop; so reading comments I followed this (which was for someone with essentially the same setup and problem as me and they claimed it worked afterwards): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
I then reinstalled CronMod 1.0.6 again (and flashed with AnyKernel again) and still am met with the same boot loop problem.

Ok, so I somehow managed to dig myself out of the terrible situation I put myself in only to discover that after all that, getting everything correct...I AM STILL STUCK IN A BOOT LOOP!!!!
Nothing really more to say, simple thing is I installed CronMod 1.0.6 (and flashed with AnyKernel again) and am met with a boot loop (restarts constantly after mytouch splash screen (displays a black screen for a split second before rebooting if that matters).

Ok the radio is fine and its a good thing u have a non perfected spl maintain that at all times!!!.now I want to confirm u dont have magic 1.2 and dont have the 3mm head phone Jack which u shouldn't what I advise is that u find a post here with a diff hboot/spl with a non perfect spl and try to flash that but before u do any of that try to see if u have a correct kernel so download a compatible rom and a package named anykernel which choosea kernel for u(all this can be found here try cronmod rom search here for that). So again try to see if you have a good kernel for your 32b device. Try flashing a rom with instructions for that here(try cronmod) and if that disnt work try anoyher Non perfected spl flashing via fastboot.
PLEASE THIS IS JUST A GUID LINE READ THE THREADS CAREFULLY

Ok the radio is fine and its a good thing u have a non perfected spl maintain that at all times!!!.now I want to confirm u dont have magic 1.2 and dont have the 3mm head phone Jack which u shouldn't what I advise is that u find a post here with a diff hboot/spl with a non perfect spl and try to flash that but before u do any of that try to see if u have a correct kernel so download a compatible rom and a package named anykernel which choosea kernel for u(all this can be found here try cronmod rom search here for that). So again try to see if you have a good kernel for your 32b device. Try flashing a rom with instructions for that here(try cronmod) and if that disnt work try anoyher Non perfected spl flashing via fastboot.
PLEASE THIS IS JUST A GUID LINE READ THE THREADS CAREFULLY

First off, thanks alot for the response; I'm very surprised that it took only 12 hours to get a response on a legacy device.
To confirm, I'm pretty sure I'm not 1.2, as I have the 32B platform (isn't 1.2 only 32A?), and yes, I have NO head phone jack at all.
Anyways, I have found the various other hboot/spl to flash; but I was under the impression the best choice was to go with 1.33.2010 (which I did); what would be the next choice to try? 1.33.2005? 1.33.0013d?
For anykernal; would this be the right direction to be heading? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641521&highlight=anykernel
Is cronmod the prefered choice for the myTouch 3G over cyanogenmod? Or rather is gingerbread better than froyo for the mytouch? I havn't yet flashed a rom since I only just got the SPL flashed and thats when this boot hanging occured. I had planned to flash the rom via ROM Manager; but was unable to get past the boot screen. Would the best idea be to just flash the rom using Recovery directly and go from there?
EDIT: After reading the prerequisites for cronmod...I'm a bit concerned; should I not have 1.33.2010 if I'm 32B?!

bump - updated OP with new issue rather than making a new thread as it still follows along with the same basic problem of booting

After further research and suggestion, I decided to follow up with a different rom and spl/radio with the hopes that I would solve the issue I had of my device hanging on boot splash screen. However, after all of my steps I ended up now with a device that loops the boot sequence (never getting pass the splash screen though).
I followed these instructions for CronMod 1.0.6 EXACTLY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641521 (also flashed with AnyKernel at the step listing it as a possible need)
I was met at this stage with the boot loop; so reading comments I followed this (which was for someone with essentially the same setup and problem as me and they claimed it worked afterwards): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
I then reinstalled CronMod 1.0.6 again (and flashed with AnyKernel again) and still am met with the same boot loop problem.
Here is my updated information:
myTouch 3G
ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 (United Recovery)
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10

spl/radio and recovery were answered here
ext type as in fs? ext4.
unless cmtd is magically enabled by default, i'm not using it :laugh:
I'll try with cwm 2.5.0.7 then; i was just looking for a cwm that supported partitioning the sd card (even if I don't use it). Why exactly would the recovery not allow me to boot CronMod? I was kinda hoping to have 5.0.2.8, but its not a major issue. What is your status on building one for 32B?
Oh, and of course, thanks for the response. I'll post back once I've tried using 2.5.0.7 instead; report changes (fixes/not fixed)
Well fantastic, nothing I'm flashing is working...always gives me "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" during "(bootloader) signature checking..." Starting to think I should not have but 1.33.0013d on....

Lol didn't I advise u to use a eng. Spl just in case at all times ok u have a prob u flashed a google locked spl( pvt s g on in device info) u said u originally had a htc branded device and u flashed a google spl..you have to switch back less u wont pass splash screen dude...google that and yes as croncy said u had to change recovery.....so here is what u do useing the recovery u have now u have to flash a htc branded spl this could have been done via fastboot had u not locked spl lile I advised against......google these dude and for now stick with that cw 2.xxx recovery later u can switch to amon ra which has feature u want but that's after u get phone working......google and read well

Well I'm sorry, but the wording was very confusing. And I am not posting here because I want to find an answer, I'm posting here because I've spent hours and hours on my own already researching these issues. It's just difficult to find straight answers with so much conflicting information I've found. Trust me, don't let my lower post count give the wrong impression; I'm far from a "user", but I have stated already that I have 0 experiences in custom roms and bootloaders for the Android. I have a CDMA Xperia Play, so I was several limited by what I could do; this current venture is an attempt to rectify my inability to experience these tasks.
Ok, so that all aside. I wanted to give my rationale and explanation for why I am at the current state I am in the hopes to give reason for my "mistakes".
* I flashed 1.33.0013d because you had told me (or I misread) to try a different spl, and I thought maybe I was not supposed to be on 1.33.2010. I picked 1.33.0013d because I was under the impression it was a modified 1.33.0013 that gave the abilities of 1.33.0013 without the lockout as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 and since it was listed as an option for prerequistites for CronMod, I figured I would be good.
* I changed to ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 (United Recovery) because croniccorey had built a 5.0.2.8 for 32A-NR/OR. I figured since the guide was talking about being able to partition with ClockworkMod and since the version I had (2.5.0.7) did not have this feature, that it might be best to upgrade so as to insure I was as close to the guide as I could be to avoid screwing up.
Anyways, again, I will continue searching, but clearly all my problems are resulting because of that. I have literally 40 different pages bookmarked right now that all have pieces of information or conflicting information or outdated information. There is nothing that just says everything in one location, everything I find is written from the perspective that the reader has been on the myTouch 3G scene since it was released and thus has followed it, at least that is just my opinion.
I'm very thankful for the responses, really I am, I had not expected to receive any for days; but could somebody point me in the right direction literally. I never make threads unless I have already spent hours and hours googling, please understand that. Maybe its my fault for not knowing the right keyword combinations to use...
EDIT: Oh, and I wasn't passing the splash screen BEFORE I flashed 1.33.0013d. I had the exact same issue with EITHER 1.33.0013d or 1.33.2010. I believe if its not broke, don't fix it. I only changed the spl because you said I should try a different one and because CronMod was rebooting endlessly with 1.33.2010.
EDIT 2: And I forgot to mention I am unable to flash the eng spl via recovery, it always says Installation aborted. It talks as if I have to downgrade, I just dont get why I'd have to if I got to 1.33.2010 from 1.33.0013 without needing too.
EDIT 3: And this is what convinced me to go with 1.33.0013d
1.33.0013d is based on the new 1.33.0013 released in the MT3G ota and allows access to the additional memory provided by the new radio.

ok let me try and help u as if it were my phone and ill give u links and instruction as well a sec kk

Ok in the post u got your hboot it says even tho its locked it accepfs certain fastboot commands and it does as I have this in essence what I would do iz use that to our advantage and flash a sappimg.nbh with the hboot we want..but first. It also says in that posy if u have the radio spl u now have u can flash the 1.33.05 eng spl which I think has H off and is for 32b via recovery which is what u want so try the recovery one first and the the sappimg.nbh via fastboot....working systematically here si first we want to get u on a proper hboot then move on that the 1.33.05 spl is in amon ra hboot collection threat right here in this topic....can't give link now on phone

Ok, I saw your PM and replied; I already saw that and tried it, but can't flash a new spl via recovery. My next step was to go the route of flashing sappimg.nbh...but I was hoping there was an alternate way. I guess that is the next step to try though.

ok here is the issue the dude is on a kinda perfected spl 1.33.30d and radio 2.28.27(watev cant remem exact now but u know it) which should be corret as a combo for his 32b saphire but he flashed a recovery i think united recovery he gets this error when trying to flash a enginerring spl which he should be able to do
Installing....Finding update....Opening update (<-summerized)
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gungerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted
also just as a notation he also switched from a htc spl to a google one(1.33.30d) though that shouldnt acuse an issue anyone with ideas as to error. the aim here is to get this dude on a eng spl so we can flash everything fresh. any ideas and note i was trying to avoid doing it via gold card
---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------
i think if you all have nothing i will just flash a sappimg.nbh with an eng spl as his current semi modded spl should allow this without a gold card. and then double check to make sure we have the exact original spects of his phone and flash a proper hboot,radio and recovery then we should be go:good:

Ok...now I've probably really screwed up. No luck with your solutions in PMs, but before I went with the gold card solution I went with the solution to flash SAPPIMG.nbh....now I can boot, but I cant get access to the Android OS because I am not connecting to any cell networks, I have no recovery, and I cant flash new hboot, radio, recovery via fastboot still!!!!
Here is my new info:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G (Still Google branded for some reason vs HTC)
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I (yes, that is an I not a 1)

Well what you sent I wasn't sure was the same/would work; because of the file size and extension. And I didn't follow a guide, I just found a sappimg.nbh that should have worked based on post it was in...I don't have the link anymore, but I obviously still have the file.
And I can boot into the Android OS, but it does the new phone thing asking me to sign in with my google account, but the cellular connection isn't working and I can't get passed it to enable wifi instead.

Bad idea u should have downloaded the sappimg.nbh I directed u too u would have had fastboot access now and b able to flash radio recovery and hboot in 1 simple sweep anyway can u download a sappimg.nbh with a eng spl please there is a post here by amon ra helpung if u want to fix a pwrfect spl download one of those spl that will hopefully work and give u a eng spl
that fails. There is a way to bypass that network login Google

The sappimg.nbh (or nb0 file?) that you sent me was like 54 kb, it didn't seem to be correct. I'll look for amon ra's post, I'm sure its in my bookmarks of all the pages I've viewed. And ya, I tried the only method I know to bypass the login screen and didn't work. I'll look up to see if maybe there is a different way to do it...or maybe I just am remembering wrong.

Ya, I saw that post by Amon Ra; but I'm not sure how to make a gold card because I can't get passed the Android activation screen. And after researching, it appears I'm not alone for the myTouch. The way I tried before was in fact the correct way it SHOULD work...but for whatever reason the screen taping corners is not working at all for me. I don't know how to make a gold card if I can't get into the Android OS...
EDIT: nvm, I'll figure something out...
EDIT 2: I just don't have any damn luck with this....so I've tried manually making a gold card AND using the stupid gold card tool....neither of them worked!!! (verified by trying to load SAPPIMG via non-goldcard) I am literally going crazy dealing with this, I hate every second of it sooooo much!!!
