I'm having the same problem, but it has nothing to do with the fact you have a 32B board. My last MT3G was a 32B, rooted with ease. However, T-mobile just sent me a replacement under warranty. Still a 32B, but with a different SPL. Its a perfected SPL 1.33.0007. I have not been able to root this yet and I've tried every method possible. The goldcard method is supposed to be the only way to root this as of right now, but it didn't work for me. I tried multiple SD cards and converted them to goldcards. I tried multiple SAPPimg files. Both zip and nbh files. No go. Some have claimed to have rooted this SPL but never seem to give much information as to how they did it, which makes me wonder. Anyway, check your SPL, post your specs on here and I'll let you know what can be done.
I have rooted that spl
if you want help PM me.

I PMed you, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
here is the sappimg i used(since no1 ever posts it)..aslo when makin ur gold card go 4rm line 0000 to 0170 that is what really messes up the card if done wrong!! if u need a link to the post let me know..i will help as much as i can
P.S. sdcard must be inside phone to get the info you need to make the goldcard.
Edit: where should i upload it?
check theunlockr.com
they have step by step instruction as to how root and flash your phone. They also have videos in case you are not sure if you are doing it right or wrong.

I followed the goldcard instructions in the GSM hero forum, and I think i have a goldcard.. is this used on our phones? or how can I see if it worked
Dont believe that can be used on the CDMA version... Could be wrong though
i would strongly sugest not dicking round with that whole thing unless you know kind of what you are doing, or you read up more on the topic.
The goldcard is used to bypass a check the recovery software uses to make sure a specific update is for your phone and carrier. This allows people that bought the asian hero to put the software that was made for the uk on it.
The version that is for the uk has a exploit in it that allows root access, the asian version does not. We tried this on the CDMA version and it doesn't bypass the hardware version check in the recovery software.
The GSM version doesn't have a problem cause they are all the hero100 model, we have the hero200, so it won't work.
I don't want to steer you away from tinkering, but at least read up on the subject more before you do so. Expecially when it comes to stuff like this that could damage your phone.
hope this helps

well nothing broke when I did it.. I still can't flash anything but the phone boots up and operates fine. I just don't see too much activity in terms of rooting, so I was just trying out mothods on the other phones

-please note which version of RUU you used in your method. Page/file link if possible.
-please also note what SD card you used brand & capacity, also link to procedure you yourself used to create the goldcard.
I have been unsuccessful as many others of us have been and are eager to hear your reply on this as you are the only recorded success story.
I'll be more than glad to help you once I find out the info above in terms of next steps to take to get you rooted.
Thanks,

well I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683

all the qmat is used for in that guide is reverseing your card's cid code. This can be done manually by typeing in your number backwards but qmat does make it simpler.
ok so assuming your goldcard is functioning you would attempt to flash a RUU from a different carrier in the step listed below
20. Use the Official HTC RUU to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 (
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
) from which you can fastboot boot and/or root your phone with flashrec.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613
now this step is where most of us have failed, it says incorrect hardware ID when you try to flash because we have hero200 as the hardware reports to hboot/recovery image. The goldcard was to my belief just to bypass the cid check not the hardware ID check.
I was under the assumption that you were able to flash this RUU. So I'm taking it that I was confused and you are in with the rest of us.
yea i think he is unable to flash, so its back to square one...
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
Serial0
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
HBOOT-0.95.0000

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
HBOOT-0.95.000
CPLD-4
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)
as the title says i wanna fix my phone. my buddy tried to root my phone and didnt do it correctly so i cant root it or unroot it bc my phone doesnt want to read sappimg.zip from goldcard
I don't think you'll get much help for your question here, but you probably are not in the position you think you are.
What are your phone details inparticular what type of HTC magic is it and what SPL is it running?
my touch 3g
pvt 32b ship s-on h
hboot1.33.0009

Thread reported. Mods tend to frown on warranty/insurance fraud on this board.
ROFL.. you're buddy is obviously a dumbass. if you phone still works then it can still be rooted.
possible problems:
Goldkey wasn't made with the proper goldkey.img ( i had to try a 2nd one)
Goldkey SD card isn't compatible (even if it doesn't get corrupt doesn't mean it will work)
Sappimg.zip should be sappimg.img
last possible solution.. i might have said this.. your friend is stupid..
To the OP,
I have edited this thread so you can get help in fixing your phone, NOT help to enact possible fraud. Can we all keep our responses in line with the former, not the latter please.
Thanks

Wrong recovery
Hello everyone. I've got a friend with an HTC magic wich had a perfect SPL 1.76.0008 .
Happens that he was using the orange method, and by mistake he flashed 1.7.0 Recovery img from amon_RA . Now he cannot detect the SD Card.
SD card is detectable on Hboot.
What could be a possible solution for this issue? Thanks

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,

Greetings potential saviors!!! I swear on my immortal soul that I have scoured these forums for an answer, and I can attest to having followed technical instructions to the T, but after countless hours of suffering through endless failures I am humbly asking for the assistance of someone wiser, someone stronger, and someone with the compassion and fortitude to help someone as desperate as myself.
My phone, like the others mentioned in this thread, is a T-Mobile myTouch 3g (Google branded) with the following specs:
Firmware Version:1.6
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 - [email protected] #19

saphire pvt 32B ship s-on g
radio 2.22.23.02
cpld-10
hboot 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000)
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.

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.

The 2.53.707.2 sappimg did not work for me but "SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed.nbh" did. Search in google - lots of download links. I used the goldcard method.
So, I rooted my fiances Mytouch 3G original and it's been so long I don't remember what I did. Now theres a one click methods, different numbers 32a and 32b and there's radios and all this other stuff I didn't have to worry about then (I think)
I updated her to the Betamod AOSP using the same method as I would do with my Vibrant and well it works, but the text messaging dictionary is in German and the battery life was horrible so I wanna take her to Yoshi 1.0 RC5.1, so I'm doing all this research to make sure I do it right (part of me wants to brick it so she'll get a new phone, she hates spending money on phones when they work) and she's overdue for a full upgrade.
I'm reading these guides and all these other things and I keep linking and linking and linking and it's kind of overwhelming. I think I had 6 or 7 tabs open before I decided to just start a thread. I wasn't sure if the threads I was reading applied to me. It was very confusing.
Can someone please just point me to the right direction.
I'm assuming with the research and reading I've done is that she needs the 32b roms and her radio and kernal I will have to look at when she gets home. I may need help finding that info, but please let me try and report it first.
I'm sorry if this is an annoying noob post, but if you guys can give me exactly what I need I will read about it.

If it is a 32b you will need to update spl and radio but a link to a guide to that is in the ginger yoshi op. Everthing you need should be in the ginger yoshi op in fact. You can use Amon_Ra for the ext4 part, the thread for installing that is in the same forum as yoshi's just a few threads up. Hope that helps.
Get us the fastboot info and we'll get you taken care of. Is the phone still rooted?

I don't know if you need anything else, but yes the phone is still rooted
I'll defer to DonJuan's expertise here but, I think you sould be fine following Yoshi's OP. Ginger Yoshi requires the new radio/spl combo but the steps are all there. If I understand correctly the ext partition is optional but highly recommended and will be required in future releases.
Okay before I proceed, I downloaded
update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G
Ohsaka-SuperWipe_v2
radio
hboot
These are zips except the Recovery file. I'm gonna put them all on my SD card and flash them in recovery. Then I'm gonna flash the rom.
Good?
Superwipe first
Recovery second
hboot third
engineering hboot fourth
Radio 5th
Then the ROM
Wait, actually where did you get the hboot/radio files from? Need to make sure they're the right one's, but I actually think you may be on the right track.
If I'm not mistaken you shouldn't need the engineering spl if you are going to flash the radio and spl via recovery, you only need it if you are going to use fastboot to install them.
So (Again if I'm not mistaken):
1. Recovery
2. Superwipe
3. Radio
4. Hboot
5. Rom
The guide I used to upgrade my radio/spl seemed simplest, worked great. Sorry I'm not allowed to post links here yet but it is at cyanogenmod.com search for a thread called New radio dream +15MB EXTRA RAM! for HTC DREAM
Look for post by -Stevo- on page 2, he does "Amazing" work.

Should be all set then.
Well did the steps and bricked the phone, it's on an endless loop, it won't flash the ROM for some reason. So I'm happy, we're picking up a new HD7 tomorrow. LOL, I got my wish.
I booted into recovery, did a nandroid, flashed super wipe, flashed radio, flashed Hboot, flashed rom and rom gave me an error. Have no other rom on SD card so I can't do anything else. Nandroid restore doesn't do what I need it to do and won't fix the problem.
