[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

What SPL are you currently using?

Sorry for not putting all the info before...

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
PVT-32B HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

Good luck!

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 root htc magic from ROGERS 32A

IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE DONT BLAME ME THIS IS SORT OF A RISK SO PLEASE READ THE WHOLE GUIDE AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU START
one word.... GOLDCARD
Thats what you need to root the htc magic from rogers and let me tell you personally F*CK ROGERS they make it so hard so im going to save you a bunch of time
use this to create the gold card
http://revskills.de/downloads/psas.zip
follow this guide
http://rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com...htc-magic.html
GUIDE GONE UPDATE COMING SOON
Code:
for step 8
8. [COLOR="Red"]Now copy the SPL to your memory card.[/COLOR]
adb push update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip /sdcard/
just do whats in red
so now that its rooted you need another sd card with your rom
since i have the same phone ill suggest this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654284
it works on the rogers phone and its fast
you will also need to flash this radio
Code:
[url]http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fileshare/Sapphire-32A-Updates/?download=update-radio-32A-6.35.10.18-signed.zip[/url]
also you might lose your 3G because rogers is a pain in the ass, your going to need to contact them and you will need them to network reset your phone.
they will probably ask you for your build number you need to tell them build 3.05.631.7 then after a while of them asking question say you found on the internet that your suppose to do a network reset but cant find the place to do it on your phone, (thats because you cant) and then they usually will do it for you, then reset your phone and your 3g will be back!
all that is only if you lose the 3g
if there is anything wrong with this little guide please tell me.
i take no credit for any of the info here its just ive put all the stuff you need in one location.
Hope it helps

Your link for rooting the htc magic is broken.
I'm new to this and i don't know the difference between the two 'radios' but will this method i've linked to allow me to use the 'newer' radio that i won't have to sign any sort of waver for?
I'll be using the phone with Fido.

The site is still up, there is just some periods in his link that don't belong there.

So basically, there's no way AT ALL to do this without a goldcard?

Not if you have a perfected SPL, which you do if you took rogers 911 update. and if you have a magic +. Anways its not hard to make one if you follow the steps.

I've tried everthing and it fails every time, i have searched and cant find the answer.
I got a htc rogers magic.

Any ideas?

So this is the topic i should follow instead of hte other ones posted in my topic?

I can't seem to get a proper goldcard created. I've followed the guide right up until the end:
Take out the memory card from the computer, then put it back in.
Try to open the memory card on the computer (Removable Disk), if it lets you, you are all set. If it asks/tells you to reformat the card, then try steps 13 - 19 again

I've tried it multiple times using an 8 GB Kingmax, also a 2 GB SanDisk... everytime I place it back in my PC to try to "open the memory card on the computer" it just tells me it needs to be formatted. What SHOULD it look like when it opens properly... will the goldcard contain visible files?
I haven't tried placing it in my phone as I really don't feel like it has worked properly yet...
I guess I'll try picking up a Kingston card this afternoon and see if I have any luck with that.

Well, first off. Totally the wrong forum.
This should be in the myTouch 3G, Magic General section.
You need to start by following this guide:
[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow) by using the GoldCard method.
If it isnt working, your Goldcard probably isnt correct.
Or, the SD card your using just WONT work for Goldcards.
This guide is also very helpful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918

(sorry for the wrong posting! hopefully a administrator could move it to the right forum
Thanks for the quick reply!
I've tried the "how to fix perfected SPL", i then get "mainversion is older update failed".
Should i make a new Goldcard with another SD Card? Or could i use the one I allready made, and just do the steps from the beginning to "re"make it?

Well you can try with the same card again (took me two tries for mine). Otherwise you may need a different card. I hear that 2gb Kingston cards work the best (also what I used)

(Q) Help Please mytouch 32b with 32a on it

Long time since I have been on this forum. Anyway, got a friends 32B mytouch that I have been meessing around with. Had the ginger yoshi rom running for a few days.
I went to update radio and spl today and definately screwed that up. I have no recovery, and can only get into the bootloader screen.
Heres my stuff:
saph PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
Hboot 1.33.0009
cpld-10
radio-6.35.16.19
It is a 32B but now shows 32A. I have tried a couple of the fastboot tools and have not suceeded to flash any other radio, SPL, or any recovery. I have tried flashing the SAPPIMP.NBH OG way of rooting and it never passes the RADIO update.
Thanks
Someone please let me know if they have any advise.

try not to flash the sapping in fastboot and try it from a goldcard in h boot

To make a gold card i understand you need your CID #. How do i get that if my phone wont boot. Can this be done via fastboot?

No, but you can do it from any Android powered phone. However, I'm not sure flashing a sappimg is exactly going to work. This is more mumilover's area, so hopefully he'll check in and can add his thoughts.

Thanks DonJuan. Yea, i have a post into Mumilover. Hopefully he can help.

I'm thinking the fix is going to be somewhere around flashing an engineering SPL and then flashing the correct SPL/radio combo, but even that's going to require a goldcard.

Yeap... goldcard is essential :0)
Any android phone can make it...

oh the insanity

cant believe im posting this but here it goes.
couple days ago i had a working phone(mytouch 3g us) running on yoshi rom. now i cant even get into recovery. pwr+home. but able to fastboot.

so i was able to get S-OFF and install eng rom 2005
Now **** hit the fan. Since i couldn't get into recovery i was able to use fastboot commander. tried to fix what i did and now this is what i have 3 days later of trying to get it back to normal. Failure sums it up!!

I get into fast boot and i cant even update anything. i try and it says check signature failed. What ever nbh file i put on the phone it gets stuck on updating radio, bar is almost filled to the top but sits there forever, till batter dies.
Any help would be great thanks in advance

Omg. Why did you flash inappropriate radio? Only magics 32a are compatible with 6.35.xx.xx
You can try flash ruu 2.53.707.2 from my library: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6109097 (requires goldcard)
It has eng hboot and you will able to restore 32b combo next step, but chances are so small...
P.s. If you will have success with 2.53.707.2, then I will write next step. Do not do fast actions.

You can create goldcard with any HTC phone. Ask friends, neighbors. This operation is safe. You need insert your own sdcard to friend's phone, read cid, generate goldcard image and paste it onto your sdcard.

make a gold card, use the guide one the page "htcdev",(i cant post address) it will kick your phone out of RUU, if you are lucky enough to have a custom recovery before you got into this problem, then you can bring your phone back to life. btw, i have a magic 32A and stucked in the ruu before.

no, gold card is easy to make when you have an android device, the guide i mean is how to kick your phone out of ruu, which may need a gold card. so before you do the guide on htcdev, make the gold card first. since i cant post address here, i will pm it to you about the guide.

heya i tried running the ruu and it not able to find my phone. im able to fastboot devices and get it listed. i tried running it before the first time and i think it picked it up. i ran the tmobile one just to see if it picks it up and it did.
im going to try another pc real quick; Ok tried the other pc same result, t mobile ruu picked it up.
Went back to 1st pc uninstalled all driver programs related to phone. cleaned out registry and temp.
Checked with USBDeview, non listed. installed drivers that are from sdk tools, android bootloader interface.
ran it again still dident pick it up but tmoible ruu again picked it up.

So its. Gonner then eh?

0. Go into fastboot mode
1. Check connection by command
Code:
fastboot devices
It should return serial number
2. Run RUU 2.53.707.2
3. Navigate to windows temporary directory and search for rom.zip
4. Check twice that is 2.53.707.2 archive (you can unpack files and view hboot via notepad, you will see something like 1.33.2010 ENG S-OFF)
5. Copy rom.zip into folder with fastboot.exe (from Android SDK Tools), close RUU
6. Run
Code:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Just gave it a shot it passed sig, header,info then stopped at checking model id
Remote 41 model id check fail.
I used gold card tool 0.0.5 to get cid then went to rev skils dl the image and used the same prog to create the gold card via patch mmc.
