[REQ] Root 1.33.0007 SPL 32B $$$

So it seems that for the MT3G this SPL cannot be rooted. I was hoping to shake this up abit since no info has come up yet new for this and I know a couple of people who have this same SPL. I am willing to donate $20 to anyone who can find a way to root this. I know its not alot but its something.
Yes its on 1.6, tried various .nbh files and .zip files as listed in the forum with a gold card. Please dont flame, I just want to enjoy a rooted MT3G.

sorry, i'm not entirely familiar with this problem: what doesn't work - can you flash something like Engineering SPL1.33.2010 onto it? what happens when you try flashing a recovery via flashrec?

I started with "Hboot-1.33.0007(SAPP10000)" and now i have EngineeringSPL + Cyanogen, an other Splash than the vodafone one ... So why shouldn´t this be possible?

Follow this guide:

If you have Cupcake installed you can skip the first step

I have tried the following methods...
sappimg.zip + goldcard
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
SAPPIMG.nbh
Main Version is older!
I cannot use flashrec.apk for obvious reasons, I always get an error since I'm on 1.6. Anyone got any better suggestions?

@skhell: Reboot for you "Engineering SPL 1.33.2005"

If you are on Android 1.6 - flash sappimg.nbh with Android 1.5 first. The one you need can be found in this forum. Search for the post with this title:
"sappimg.nbh for Vodafone PVT 32B Devices"
(sorry, I am not allowed to post any links apparently )
It's a Vodafone image with spl 1.33.0007 - so it's same as yours, and it will flash with no errors - no gold card needed.
Then use one click method as decribed in theunlockr.com or elsewhere.
Then you can flash "Engineering SPL 1.33.2005"
It worked very well with my HTC Magic from Vodafone Germany

Same Issue
I have the exact same hboot info on a replacement MT3G running factory 1.6 build DRC92.
From what I have read it is unrootable at this time. Others have said that we have to wait for a later build with a non-perfect SPL.
1.33.0007 is a perfect SPL, which normally isnt a problem, but combining that with the DRC92 build makes it troublesome.

I am sorry it did not work for you. I was surprised it worked for me, despite everyone saying that there is no rooting solution for spl 1.33.0007 with DRC92. Maybe I was just lucky.

So why was it so easy for me too flash Cyanogen and more?
Downgraded with right nbh (sappimg.nbh), then installed flashrec.apk ... With that app i get a modified recovery-image installed and then i could flash rom/spl with modified recovery
Really easy

Kind of off topic, but I'm picking up a MT3G this weekend, and I didn't know there's such a thing as unrootable. Is this true? I thought they've all been figured out by now.

Supposedly there isnt such a thing as an unrootable MT3G but I sure am stuck.
I root'd my original MT3G but ended up with a replacement that I just cant get root on.
I think I am going to start a new thread. Apparently I overlooked that the thread was corrected to read 2007, not 0007.
In any case I get same errors, incorrect model id, main version older, etc.
People say they used sappimg.nbh to root the 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000) DRC92 but no one ever posts a link to the sappimg.nbh that they used. There are more than one out there, just in case people didnt notice that.
I have tried roughly 10 different .nbh's, made sure the md5 matched when applicable, tried each with and without the Goldcard, and even found the default recovery mode where I tried them again as .zip's (hold home + power until the exclamation then hit the home + power again).
I even did a hard reset and tried again. Nothing...
I do have the sdk, adb and fastboot working. Able to connect via usb, issue some commands, and list the devices. Try to push an install and get remote not allowed.
I am getting used to no-root but I dont like it. I want my old rootable phone back...

Im in the same boat as you are..
Cant seem to root my 1.33.0007/DCR92. I have tried about everything in this forum..
Hopefully something will hit soon.

How to downgrade mytouch 3g from 1.6 to 1.5

I just got a mytouch 2 days ago brand new from tmobile and I want to root it using the one click root method. Problem is when i download the sappimg.nbh file and try to downgrade from 1.6 (donut) to 1.5(cupcake) i get an error message "main version older update failed!". i did a little research and found out that the newer mytouch 3g's that have 1.6 (donut) out the box have been patched so you cant downgrade. I also read that the only way to root the mytouch now is to use a method called the gold card method. Can anyone explain this method because it seems really complicated. Or does anyone know of an easier way to downgrade to 1.5 or to root mytouch 3g.

This tells you how to flash 1.6, not downgrade;

Rogers HTC Dream Error 0002802 not allowed

Hi Just got a Rogers Dream from a friend in the following tree color state:

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:

I am trying to follow the instructions on the cyanogen wiki to install Cyanogen 5.0.7 on a stock Dream purchased in Australia.
Any pointers will be appreciated, I have tried to reformat, different SD cards without any success.

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

RADIO-1.22.12.29
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)

I can try and help ...
I had tried the xda-dev post entitled [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, and I was receiving the same errors you described. I tried creating the goldcard following this xda-dev page Qns wrt SG Htc Dream and SDcard, even though I followed the hex editing info exactly, I continued getting the same errors similar to what just you described. I tried it using the exact method, which meant I had to wait to create the goldcard at work, since I don't have a windows machine at home (not trying to imply that this couldn't be done on Windows, just letting you know about what happened with me, when I was trying it too).
After trying most things and getting practically fed up, I decided to find out if I could just create the gold card on Ubuntu (since I didn't want to wait any longer). There was a Tutorial for the that I found my searching google Nazri Awang: How to create a goldcard with Ubuntu Linux, which is what I used finally to successfully create a working goldcard. I would have given you the links, but as newer posting member here, I am unable to link using any outside links in this forum yet.
I can try to and help you as I struggled with this last night and at the end of the evening, I am now running a 2.1 cyanogenmod version. I would like to document what works this time, as I really didn't get a chance to do that when I was trying to figure it out for myself. If you want send me a private message here, and I will IM you as soon as I can to try and help. We can then post the how-to here so that others can benefit from it.
Let me know either way.
Thanks,

Can you either paste the link here, or put the title of the tutorial or wiki you used to create your goldcard. After creating it before doing anything else did you try and insert it back into the phone? Does it do that successfully?

I'm trying to root my phone and from what I have read it is necessary to create a "goldcard" in order for the phone to flash the sappimg.nbh file. I followed the steps (theunlockr) and was successful according to their test of being able to read the SD card after the process of coping the goldcard image to the micro SD. I've made four separate goldcard's using Kingston 2GB cards, each time I believe successfully.
When moving on to process of going into HBOOT I continually receive the same error message "Update Fail, Main Version Older." This error appears as the update is finalizing during the checksum process.
Does anyone have an idea of what my next step should be? Thanks for your help!

Can try itnet7's idea. Perhaps something is failing with the goldcard. other then that, other random things I guess you can try, is re-downloading the nbh, or try another brand sd card.

Perhaps they might work. Goodluck.

Problem solved! It turns out that I required a later version of the sappimg file. I used 2.53.707.2 sappimg (Google searchable). The only issue is that when the phone booted with that image it did not have andriod market installed (need for the Linda file manager). After a short freak out, I loaded the sappimg from theunlockr redirect. Tada...was able to root and now running Froyo.

Little help - HTC Magic 32A Rogers

And I want to put Yoshi Froyo (or any good android 2.2).
So I looked at a bunch of articles and started following one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918) and I got my phone rooted (with superuser permissions and all that jazz).
Okay cool, so now I need a recovery image. I installed the one listed (Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img) and then I restarted my phone and went into recovery just to make sure it worked, and it did.
Okay so now I went to the thread and read it all and found some instructions
"-Make sure you have the .27.08 or .28.25 radio and .0013(d) spl... if not see extras...
-Superwipe twice
-Recovery wipe the list twice
-install ROM
-Enjoy ^__^"
So now I know I don't have a .27.08 radio and I don't know what spl I have, but I assume I don't have that one either. So I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909900 as it said and read it, but here is where I become confused.
Do I need to downgrade to 1.5 or 1.6? Or can I do it from 2.1? I tried following (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/) and the SAPPIMG.nbh came up invalid, so then I tried another one and it also came up invalid.
So here is my question, do I need to downgrade in order to install a custom rom? I've read a bunch of conflicting material and I don't have any desire to brick my phone. Some say I do some say I don't.
Any help? thanks!

Well first of all you have a diff radio then most of us cause of rodgers. And the 2708 is a dream radio not magic same with the spl you mentioned. As long as you have root you can custom rom.
And I would recommend cm6.1 stable I find it more stable then yoshi's right now I like yoshi's but I think it still has a little way to go.

I know it's a magic cause it does not have a keyboard. I bought it with cupcake on it and then I got the Rogers Sense UI Rom update to android 2.1-update1 and then I got the 911 fix.

nvm I had everything I needed already, I simply put on CM6 and it worked.
