[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow)

The following instructions :
will void all warranties of your phone!
will erase all your userdata!
will change your current ROM/SPL!
will change your current splash screen!
could brick your phone!
Proceed at your own risk!
The "trick" in fixing a perfected SPL is to fastboot a goldcard which contains a sappimg.nbh/zip that has :
an non-perfected SPL (preferably an engineerings SPL).
a ROM with a version that is HIGHER than your current ROM version.
Steps
Create a Goldcard.
Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
(Upgrade to the rooted ROM of your choice).

THANKS ekindangen you rock! , btw what are the chances of bricking of phone ? , just worried abit, noobie here

Amon_RA:
i successfully created a goldcard and i flashed my MyTouch too, but i kept getting "failed" when i tried to fastboot the recovery image. This was using the original sappimg.zip provided in the 'how-to' instructions.
Should i retry with one of the higher NBH/ZIPs?

Does this work with 1.33.2006 as well

1.33.2006 is an engineerings SPL... it is already "non-perfected"

So this would work for the mytouch 1.33.0006?

HMmm it dint not ask me for the upgrade, i successful created the goldcard and put in sappimg.zip file it in, booted holding power+volume down, it doesnt ask me for upgradation

Try it with a normal SD card, if that one picks up the sappimg.zip it means that your goldcard is corrupted/bad.

Oh yeah thanks it picked it up , i have a sandisk and a some card by the name kingmax, so both these wont work ? which brand is preferrable ?

Flashing done, i have a s-off spl now \0/, how do i load a custom rom now?! can you please point me to the right direction. A ROM with all google apps

ok so this isnt for 1.33.0006????? never got answered besides its an engineering spl. this means?

can anybody tell if now a hero rom could be put on this htc magic?

This method is only for 32A?
Or both 32A and 32B ？

this is great!
Glad I waited now for a better method for doing this. I almost did the goldcard with the other rom that was originally posted. This way I get a new ROM with no issues I can see. Much better solution. Thanks everyone. Today I buy the sd cards and a card reader here in Chennai and go play with the solution and new rom I've chosen. I have a second magic phone that was bought for me I flashed earlier with a Hero rom and I really like it. The first phone was bought by my company for use; but after seeing what was not on it, was really disappointed with Airtel.
Thanks everyone! This is the solution worth waiting for.

Man why does all custom roms get stuck at loading screen ?. I tried using RAv1.2.0 in Fastboot mode(without actually flashing it to phone) and then i use the "update from zip" option from it to load the new custom rom. it completes installation. Reboots. And then it gets stuck at second HTC Android Logo!!! tried two Roms
Amon Ra's RAv1.1.0H-signed-update
JACxHERO variant Hero ROM
What am i doing wrong? Is there a proper tutorial for flash rom properly. Do i need to flash my SPL to Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed ?

Got it all done
The whole goldcard thing took me a few tries. Discovered that the sandisk that shipped with my Airtel India Magic would not work so got a few new cards and a card reader. I had to redo the goldcard a few times and I had gotten the whole cid thing wrong somehow so I redid that and got a new goldcard.img. I had to be a bit patient holding down the action key also.
Finally, was able to apply the non perfected engineering over the airtel and then this very nice rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very nice seeing the Android in Blue letters when I rebooted the phone, having root on the phone, etc. Seeing the Android Market on the phone for the first time makes it all nicer. I'm glad I waited to get a way that allows me to try different stuff. Thanks everyone.
BTW, did all this on Ubuntu Linux. Only windows involved was the QMAT program running in Wine. Yay!

Original Vodafone rom Help

I am running my magic(32b) with cayanogen rom . from this morning the speaker is dead(phone is not ringing or playing any music ). I checked all the settings but still no sound. Device is under warranty. I got insurance as well, but for insurance I have to pay the excess. I need to send it back to vodafone for warranty but for that I have to return to the original rom.(deleted my backup after changing the micro sd card). If anyone got uk vodafone backup of magic please upload it for me.
Thanks

Sorry could you tell me a little more on this. I need to restore to Voda Rom as I think my GPS isn't working so may need to send it back. But going to check the GPS on the orignal ROM as I have the Hero ROM at the mo.
I have downloded the file, where do I need to put the Zip file? or do I need to extract it somewhere?
Thanks

00058002 error trying to flash RC29

Here's a thing..
When I try and flash the RC29 image (FAT32 format microSD, copy DREAIMG.NBH over, boot with power / camera) the bootloader goes through the 'checking' process but then displays '00058002' in red text at the top and drops back to bootloader.
Any clues as to why it could be doing this? I've used the same process to root another G1 fine with same SD card, and Google searches yield no clues.
Making a GoldCard with QMAT did not help as well.

Don't censore the DREA... It's a generic number.

that's how it's displayed! that DREA.. line is distorted.

any thoughts, guys?

might try to downgrade radio first as rc29 may not work with .26i radio. warning--brick phones have been known to occur with earlier radios and some spl (ie deathspl) which you do not have.

that distortion is very suspicious; smells like hardware failure or flash corruption

I've considered downgrading just a radio part to 1.22.12.29.
But I can't find a separate radio 1.22.12.29 or any info about weather it's possible at all.

Might try rename the image to "update" (zip will be added automatically but not seen) and install from spl. press end and home at startup to get into spl.

try downloading dreaimg.nbh again, i had a shtload of trouble with corrupted nbh files, i though my phone was bricked for 3 days lol

Use RC7 instead of 29, bye bye error.

Somebody HELP me with SAPPIMG.nbh

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.

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)

Rogers HTC Dream Error 0002802 not allowed

Hi Just got a Rogers Dream from a friend in the following tree color state:
DREA210 PVT 32B RUUNBH
BOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008

1) I tried safely to install Rogers rom for the htc dream but PC does not detect my USB port failing with error 170.
2) Read Forum for 2 hours, and tried stock firmware, made sure SD card formatted FAT32, DREAIMG.nbh and update.zip it did boot, loading... and error 0002802 not allowed showed.
Can someone point me to the right direction for the next steps?
What kind of more information can I provide? And how to get it? Thx

what are you trying to achieve? That dream is running the 1x radio with a stock T-Mobile spl, thus ought to be used like a T-Mobile g1,
You could run a true rogers nbh via SD card.. but this is probably not going yo give you the phone you wish to use.
Tell me the end state you want to be in we can help you get there.

My goal was to use the damn phone, after 12 hours of struggling I was able to install Haykuro Rogers dream, after that I want to SPL 1.33.2005, Rooted my phone and I installed cm-5.0.7-DS-test5 Rom.
All is fine now thanks for the response.

Ive got exactly the same issue, formatted SD to FAT32 and copied DREAIMG.nbh (RC7) to it. I get the not allowed error and then drop to the multi colored screen with:
DREA110 PVT 32B

Because the nbh is for T-Mobile in the states.. thus fails the carrier checks elsewhere in the world.
To get around these checks a goldcard is needed.
But before looking into that.. make sure you can't root by flashreq first. (I can't say I've used the Australian rom so I'm not really sure of your phones state.. the gold card will let you flash that nbh.. but if you can install recovery by flashreq that is safer)
It's usually best to search for people who have rooted the same stock rom as is installed on the phone.

i have a tmobile g1 its giving me the same error code"0002802" when i try to flash the DREAIMG.nbh file from bootloader. so i cant downgrade to rc29. i want to root the phone.any solution?

I answered this best I could here
With both a potential solution:
Did you try a goldcard yet? what was the result?​
And a question to help understand why:
Did you answer my question last time of when your phone was jtagged was it with my solution in the wiki or Omnia's solution?​

Okay I have the same problems as the op and I have the same radio, spl everything is exactly the same. The phone cannot boot into recovery whenever it starts it goes directly to bootloader. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not even downgrading
Hello guys,
I tried already one goldcard, made all the procudures to get one and also didnt work, with the gold card says that no IMG not found, with the DREAIMG from USA and EU says that is 'not allow'. I tried as well the DREAIMG.nbh from USA and EU. I bought my phone in Holland, and his configuration is:
DREa110 PVT 32B

If you can help me another way out. I'ven been try and I am stucked on this for 3 days.

0002802
strange, in my case I got a phone which I did not know if it was from Europe or the US. I just happened to get the "0002802" error when using what I assume to have been the wrong firmware (European in my case) as when I tried the US version everything worked fine.
Though for the Rogers phone the whole process seem slightly more complicated (check the Cyanogmode wiki for it under Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1 -- sorry Im new here and I cant post a link =D)
