Bootloader 6.22 : How to load ROM in SD ?

Hi !,
I'm tryin upgrade ROM with Siemens+ATT A3.0.9 (pocket pc 2002 to WM2003).
Manage to burn it to SD (inside XDA) with XDATool.
Then do hard reset..but bootloader 6.22 just ignore the SD and not
give option to load the new ROM inside the SD.
I found an opinion : to downgrade the bootloader to 5.15...but I hope
to maintain the 6.22 bootloader unless it is really need to downgrade the bootloader. Furthermore I don't know to patch or downgrade the bootloader
Here is my device info :
ROM version 3.20.06 ENG
ROM date 07/30/03
Radio version 4.21.01
Protocol version 32S54
Bootloader 6.22
So what should i do ? hope for assistance from somebody.

Try using XDAtools to directly flash your ROM ... if worked it will update your boot loader to 5.15

Ok, the main problem is that I have bootloader 6.22 as well and foolishly have upgraged to the T-Mobile Rom.
Since then I have tried using the Kitchen to make a "B" type rom but to no avail.
Plus since this rom has been isnatlled it will no longer accept any different types of Rom other than that of a "B" type rom. I can't even use the pther "Programme A / B" to flash my rom
so in other words. I am stuck until I can find a way to change the header string on a rom. or to find a way to download a "B" type rom.
Please note. I tried putting a "B" Type rom in to the header string section of the kitchens and it cooked it... But still isn't recognised by my device.

I had this problem too, i "solved" it by flashing 3.03 from the .exe file... Now i am however stuck on a new perfect spl and no root... (but a good rom never the less)

Please move this thread.
Make room for the ROM development...thanks.

I'm a linux user and wife's Vista just don't want to work! will test .
If any body have another way to do this( avoiding p-spl) please tell!

I think it has to do with rom devel. as I was testing and still am testing the new rom and radio ... to release TheNano ROM to Swedroid Swedish android community

tried to install from the exe file, the updater cant find the phone as it is only starting in recovery mode.
Is there any information about what steps the update utility takes to do the actual update so I can do them by hand .
what is the boo_special.img file for ?

I Flashed Recovery!
I try to flash recovery and it doesn't work! ROM Manager say's it flashed the recovery but neither clockworkmod nor Amon_Ra works When I try to boot in to recovery it stays at the green MyTouch Spash Screen and nothing happens, and if I connect it to the USB port "FLASHBOOT USB" appears in the upper left corner, but I can't do anything... Here is my OS info, maybe it´s blocking the flahsinf of the custom recovery:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 62.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb [email protected] #1
Build Number: FRG83D
I googled and I tried flahsing the recovery via FastBoot and I get the Remote Not Allow eror and if I try Flas_Image I get the Stop (Signal) error and/or Invalid Instrucion error.
Edit: I took the flash_image file from the Ginger Yoshi ROM (opened the "Ginger+yoshi+1.1.zip" and took flash_image from system\bin\) pushed it to the sdcard, pushed the reovery.img and followed these steps:
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
now flash_image doesn't give me an "Illegal instruction" but gives me these:

Also, I tried flashing RA Recovery from CM Mod and it read that it flashed OK, but when I try to boot to recovery (after waiting more than 1 minute) I plugged it in to the USB and noticed the green over red "FastBoot USB" on the upper left corner of the MyTouch 3G screen, so I tried fastboot devices and I got "HT98TP302788 fastboot"
After some serious googleing I found out that I need to flash_image as soon as the phone boots up so it can run seems that the the MT3G (32B) uses too much memory on 2.2.1 to fhasl_iamge to run I'm creating a nandroid backup and will proceed with the rest... wish me luck!
What options do I have?

I'm Running on Ginger Yoshi!
Woot! Thanks CH3NO2 for pointing me in the right direction!

Help getting froyo 2.2.1 back...

Basically, I was trying to root my myTouch 3g. I kept getting error messages with fastboot and other things with my PC, SuperOneClick wasn't rooting my phone. I had downgraded to Cupcake 1.5 to do the entire process. I had been using sappimg.nbh files to downgrade and upgrade. But, somehow, I download the Vodaphone HTC Magic 1.5 file instead of the MyTouch 3g cupcake 1.5 file. I'm tired of trying to root my phone and having things go wrong. But I want to get my MyTouch Froyo 2.2.1 rom back, but I can not find any sappimg.nbh files that will let me restore it, it keep getting the "Main version is older, please reboot" error message. All I want is my 2.2.1 froyo rom back. How can I do this?
EDIT: Also, ROM Manager won't install on my version of android, and flashrec.apk isn't flashing any recovery images on my version of android either. I downloaded Universal Androot, and it says my phone has been rooted, and installed SuperUser. I just can't get a recovery image flashed, and can't get fastboot to do anything on my pc. Basically, whenever I flash something with fastboot, my command prompt says "Downloading recovery.img xxxxkb" and just hangs on that, while my phone, in fastboot mode, just sits there. It gets a progress bar, but never moves.

Is this a 32a or 32b board? It would be immensely helpful if you could list out everything it says at your fastboot screen.

I have made a goldcard, but everytime I try to put a SAPPIMG.nbh/.zip on it, it still says "Main Version is Older" everytime I try to flash something else onto it..

Download this file:
https://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
1)rename the file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
4)The device should pick up the file, follow screen instructions and flash the sappimg.
5)once this has finished, you should restart and confirm you have 1.33.2010 as spl nr.
6)post here the progress and wait for further instructions

Still getting the "Main Version is Older" error message with this... :/

Cannot be... your version is 2.16.151.1 and the one i gave you is 2.53.707.2...
Simple math:
2.53.707.2 > 2.16.151.1
So either you have provided the wrong version or there is something completely wrong with your device...

My bad... it gave the "Model ID Incorrect" error this time, not the "Main Version is Older" one.
Could it be the goldcard? I've tried it using two different SanDisk cards and a Transcend card... I know certain card manufacturers won't work as a goldcard...

It's a faulty goldcard.
That error is the reason why you use a goldcard... to use a sappimg.zip from another model id :0)

Should I try remaking my goldcard? I just went to the website to make it, and the page seems to be down... or should I try a different brand of SD card with my original goldcard.img file?

Every goldcard.img is unique for the specific sdcard which you got the unique cid.
Thats why you can make a goldcard on one device and it will work on another... its sdcard specific... but you cannot take an image from sdcard to another sdcard...

Try to remake... try another sdcard... what ever...
As long as you get the "model id error" you are doing something wrong...

I made downloaded the QMAT (I think it is now called Rev Tools) to reverse the CID string. I'm getting the CID string from the Terminal Emulator app, then emailing it directly to my email, copying the string, pasting it in the Crypto Toolbox app, reversing the string, replacing the first two digits with 00, creating the goldcard.img, opening that and my sd card in HxD, replacing up to line 00000170 with the goldcard, saving, placing sappimg.zip on it, and hbooting the sappimg.zip. Still getting the Model ID error. I've done this with 4 different SD cards now... what could I be doing wrong?
Am I not supposed to replace the first two digits? I swear it says that in the instructions.. that seems like it could be my only error.

I think I know what happened. I wasn't clicking "Removable Disk (I" in HxD which is where my SD was mounted. I was clicking some other Removable Disk in the list.. Once I corrected this, I tried doing it, then my SD card kept saying to format it. Looks like I need to wait it out a few days until I can get a Kingston SD card :|

Sorry for the triple post. I got the Goldcard working finally. I followed all these steps and completed them all, and my spl is now the one that is noted.
Code:
1)rename the file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
4)The device should pick up the file, follow screen instructions and flash the sappimg.
5)once this has finished, you should restart and confirm you have 1.33.2010 as spl nr.
6)post here the progress and wait for further instructions
What do I do in the next step?

Sorry for the delay.
You now have eng spl = full control.
You need custom recovery: http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
You need this radio: https://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img
You need fastboot commander: Get it from signature (v.1.1 and NOT magic)
You need this rom: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/dream/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
You need gaps (google apps): http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
1)
Flash the radio and recovery from the fastboot commander tool.
Restart into recovery: Hold home and power together.
2)wipe everything you can find
3)flash the rom
4)flash the gapps
5)restart into the system
6)enjoy and take a rest... you have been working to long.
Good luck

HTC Magic - half bricked - RUU USB

Hello,
can anyone suggest how to recover HTC magic after flashing Rogers RUU official over custom rom.
ROM update was aborted on updating system partition.
Problem is that I can't upload any part of rom because phone is now S-ON. I'am getting signature error.
Flashed RUU: 42) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada + [SAPPIMG.ZIP format]
ADB is no longer possible. Only FASTBOOT and RUU USB.
See attched photo for fastboot details.
Thanks in advance.

I went through a similar problem. My 32A was in the same state except for the radio; I had no system installed, S-ON, RUU mode, and a radio/spl mismatch. It looks like you at least have a proper radio/spl combo.
Before we do anything else, try flashing the RUU again. Were you using the ZIP file or the EXE? Use the ZIP, at least you won't have to load up that crappy HTC interface.
If the RUU fails again, see if you can find the log file from the installation. It'll be on your system's drive, probably in "C:\ruu_log" or something like that. It can tell us what error it found.
In my case, we (mumilover and I) had to upgrade HBOOT and "sort of unlock it" using HTCDEV's method. Then we were able to install a custom recovery, and then everything got very easy.
Let's see if the simple things work before we have to do the harder things

Thnak you very much for hint with HTCDEV. Now I have at least fastboot
RUU image allways fail at signature error. OI have tried three of them. Same error.
I have run RUU under fastboot usb.
Also I can't flash recovery image even I have successfully unlocked hboot with htcdev.

Any other idea ?

Could you give me the new details of the fastboot page? Your HBOOT version will have changed, and it will say "UNLOCKED" or "RELOCKED" at the top and S-ON. If it says "RELOCKED", try running the HTCDEV unlock command from fastboot again (you should still have the Unlock_code.bin file in your email) and then reboot.
Let's see how that goes.

I have attached Fastboot details.Status is: UNLOCKED.
But when I try to flash recovery I get an error message which I already wrote.
I think it is because of S-ON which is checking signature.

Sounds reasonable. I wish I kept better notes That way I wouldn't have to re-learn things every time.
I just want to make sure I understand the timeline of events:
You said you tried to flash an RUU over an existing custom ROM install, right?
What was the configuration of your phone before you tried the RUU and ran into trouble? If you were running a custom ROM, did you have a magic SPL or a custom recovery in order to install that custom ROM?
Anyway, on to the work:
Let's see if we can get an RUU to work now.
Go to the command prompt and run "fastboot getvar version-main" and let us know what it is, for future reference.
Once we know that, we can find a higher-numbered RUU from this list of Official RUUs.
I think I ended up using BrightStar Brazil, but anything higher than your phone's reported main version should work.
Have you made a goldcard? If you try to use an RUU and it complains about your CID, this will help.
Before you try to install an RUU, you will need to relock the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" (you'll be able to unlock it again using the Unlock_token.bin)
Place the SAPPIMG.zip of the RUU in the root folder of your SD card and reboot into HBOOT (or reboot to fastboot and select HBOOT).
After a few seconds it should start scanning your SD card and then it will try to use the SAPPIMG.
Let us know.

Yes I had custom rom with s-off. But can't remeber which version.
Than I tried to install RUU: 42) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada + [SAPPIMG.ZIP format]
Than I get error while flashing.
Strange thing is that I get this now:
C:\ADB>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.54.0.0
finished. total time: 0.001s
So it seems that I have lower version than I tried to install
I didn't try to use goldcard for now.

I have created Gold Card using this link: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
I have to use another HTC phone (Wildfire) to get CID from HTC Magic SD card
I have tried to put 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada rom as SAPPIMG.zip but HBOOT claims that there is no image.
I get: Loading...(SAPPIMG.zip) No image!

I forget to say that I have set HBOOT to RELOCKED state before using GOLD CARD and SAPPIMG.zip

1) Check the filename. Make sure it is "SAPPIMG.zip" exactly, with SAPPIMG in capital letters.
2) Run these fastboot commands and then switch back to HBOOT mode.
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
This procedure has fixed SD card problems in the past.
3) Check the SD card using a computer or another phone to be sure that the file is on the card. I've had Windows unmount the card improperly a few times, so that's a possibility.
4) Compare a checksum of the original ZIP file to the checksum of the ZIP on your SD card. I use 7-Zip to get the checksum, but there are other ways.
5) You can download another copy of the SAPPIMG.zip file.
It also helps to wave a dead chicken over the phone as an offering to the phone god.

Unfortuntly can't get goldcard to work.
I have used 3 different SD card.
1. 2GB
2. 2GB
3. 1GB
Non of them works.
Also everything is fine in the process of creating them.
Problem is about loading to phone SAPPIMG.zip of 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada rom.
Phone starts to Checking..(SAPPIMG.zip) and then after some period of time stops and waits to press:
1. (back) FastBoot Mode
2. (send) Simlock
I have try to start another flash but get the same result.
So it seems that the gold card is not working as it should because phone is still checking uploaded rom image.

Is there some SD card that works 100% ?
