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!
i was reading instructions on how to root but i belive its more difficult to root a 32b version. can someone show me the easiest way to root a 32b mytouch?
thank you so much.
Check out the Cyanogen wiki for instructions to flash his rom on your Mytouch, the instructions are simple. Yes, you also get root access.
when i attempt to flash to the sappimg i get an error saying "Main version is older"
and in the cyan wiki it says the goldcard method does not work.
im having the same problem...i never had these many problems rooting a phone . I have a g1 that i rotted flawlessly. not only did i hear the gold card method doesn't work but it also is very complicated. Im stuck! I really wish the one click root method work for the 1.6
Pvt 32b
hboot 1.33.0007 sapp3000
cpld10
radio 2.22.19.26i
when i had my g1 rooting was easy, this is a nightmare.
I think you have to downgrade to 1.5 to root. That's what I did. Good luck!
Also as mentioned before, check out the cyanogenmod wiki. It gives a very detailed instructions list to help you out.
downgrading to 1.5 is the problem we CANT!!!!

ARE WE THE ONLY TWO THAT GET THIS?!!!?
I think the only way is either suck it up and use the goldcard method or wait until flashrec updates the apk. we're screwed!
I had this message when I rooted my 32b device yesterday so I followed the gold card option and everything worked without a hitch.
I was told it didnt work in Windows 7 but it worked fine on my xp pc.
Happy to help if you have questions.
Cheers

Guess its a 32B problem, im able to downgrade to 1.5 but them im getting an error when im trying to use Flash Recover to back up my files.

this video helped me root it by downgrading. If this doesn't work, I don't know..

Are you following this steps form the cyanogen wiki?
h t t p ://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
I had the problem with flash recovery when I was running it under 1.6. Once I downgraded back to 1.5, it works fine without a hitch. Flashrec version: flashrec-20090815.apk.
same error message
I'm getting the same error message. I have previously rooted around 10 mytouch phones without problems, but using the same procedure now is giving me that error. It looks like the Hboot software has been updated on any newer phones and is having an issue with updating (or backdating, I suppose) to 1.5
If anyone has a work around I would love to know it.
The old version of Hboot that used to work is HBOOT-1.33.0006
The new version, which is not working, is HBOOT-1.33.0007
Anyone know of a way to backdate the HBOOT software?
WTF....
This phone is impossible to root (over acting,but pissed off) I've tried everything I've read online...I was able to build a goldcard from unlockr's web page,and when installing the sappimg file the damn phone still doesn't want to give up the 1.6....there has got to be something or someone out there that has encountered this bullchip and fixed it
I have a 32B mytouch. did you try unrooting first, before rooting? Just a thought bc i had to do it before rooting, and i had never rooted my phone before that.
do i have root???
HBoot - 1.33.0006 (SAPP 30000)
CPLD - 10
Radio - 2.22.19.261
As i search the forum, i realized that i have "perfected SPL"...that would require me to go through "goldcard" method. I tried and it was so complicated for me...
And then i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633895 which said you should follow cyanogen's method on this site http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod.
so i follow the steps and everything worked out and now i have cyanogens rom running on my MT3G. .... now my question is ....do i have root??...
can i flash other people's roms assuming i have all the right radio and SPL...
when i try to install Amon_RA's recovery img through Terminal Emulator, after i type $su and hit enter....nothing happens....it does not ask me for su permission????.....
Please Help....If i dont have root how was i able to flash cyanogens rom??
do i need to do the goldcard method....or am i set...with root.??
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
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261

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)
Hi
I have the following problem:
I've tested FroyoRedux Mod v1.9.5 with the requested radio and hboot. After that I've tried to install the original stock ROGERS 2.1 ROM. Now, the problems appeared. somehow I'm stack with the
1.76.0010 hboot, with security ON
Radio 3.22.20.17 (which should be 6.35.xx.xx) after flashing (don't ask why the update didn't take place because there was no error)
and the phone hangs at the ROGERS screen (just before start loading android).
I've tried reflash SAPPIMG from flashboot but it detects is already there and won't flash. I can not use fastboot from computer because security is ON, i don't have recovery installed because ROGERS rom took it away.
Any ideas on how I can fix this mess?
UPDATE: After reading tons of forum pots, seems I have found the source of the problem and seems that became a common issue: I've installed Rogers 2.1 manually over CM custom ROM with froyo (SPL 1.33.xxxx and RADIO 3.22.xx.xx) without knowing that Rogers will not update both RADIO and SPL.
Now all of us who did this need a solution. Anyone has an ideea?
Thanks

Hi, Yes, I've instaled Rogers 2.1 but not from RUU but from fastboot with SAPPIMG.zip
and u installed hboot from the ruu?
i think u must make a gold card... but wait for the experts
When I've installed the SAPPIMG using a goldcard, it automatically overwiten hboot, recovery and radio.
BTW: if I've formatted the goldcard, how can I create a new one now that i don't have a linux pc and i can only enter fastboot.
Thanks

Now I can access teh memoy card again. Please give me a solution using RUU. Maybe a valid RUU which works on all devices because when I've tried to flash a RUU it sais whong RUU version and I must get another one.
No one can help?
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Try flashing the above.... using a goldcard and from fastboot/hboot.
Thank you for answering
I will try now
I've tried it but it say "Main Version is older". Can you tell me how can I fix that or how to make a SAPPIMG.nbh file with Rogers update or even android 2.2. Or do you have such thing?
Thanks a lot.
Anyone with a solution please !?!?
Got your PM... normally i don't respond help request over pm, but i'll make an exception.
You need to redo your goldcard... all the errors you get points to a faulty goldcard.
You can post/pm the cid nr you get from the htc device + the reverse nr. you used to make the goldcard... then i can verify that you have done it correctly.
You should have made it work with the sappimg.img i have provided earlier....
All points to a bad made goldcard!
Thanks so much for your reply.
So, Let's get started . My SD CID is
035344535530324780109ac8ee0093aa
After using http://hexrev.soaa.me/
My reversed CID is
009300eec89a10804732305553445303
(first two zeros already present)
Now, I've used this code here http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
and get the goldcard in the attachment.
Can you check please?
Thanks a lot
Well all ok from here.
The only thing left is how you made the hex-changes to the goldcard...
Which guide did you follow?
Read your pm!
i have exactely the same problem so when you get the solution can post it please !!!
Sure I will
Try this...
http://rapidshare.com/files/424005789/sappimg.zip
Put it on the goldcard and reboot by holding volume_down + power.
Then let it work...
Make sure there is nothing else on the goldcard!
Do not rename or anything.
This sappimg.zip is the new rogers 2.1 update... it should work :0)
Please report back :0)
Hey Everyone,
I've bricked a phone beyond recovery once. It sucks. What happened? I didn't check md5's and ruined everything. That phone is long gone, and history now. I've learned my lessons.
Anyway, I noticed something that might remove a risky step from phone modification. I needed to root my OTA gingerbread DZ from Bell, which required a Gold Card.
Besides backing up and restoring the sd card contents, it's a pretty painless process to make a Gold Card for your phone.
After downgrading with the Gold Card, I asked myself "hey, I just flashed a PC10IMG.zip that wouldn't have passed the security checks...why can't I flash back my Bell radio via PC10IMG.zip now too, even though I have the stock hboot?"
The answer, I did. It worked
Summary: If you have a Gold Card, you should be able to flash any PC10IMG.zip that isn't corrupted, even on stock hboot.
Anyway, I know flashing a radio is also risky, but hey, if you don't need to flash eng hboot, you have seriously avoided doing probably the most dangerous modification to your phone.
Funny thing is that I've never heard of this and my searches brought up nothing. Maybe I'm just bad at searching.
Any thoughts on this that I may not be addressing?
Cheers!
NOTE: proceed with caution! I am not responsible for the bricking of your phone. Please let this discussion unfold a bit before assuming everything is safe!
After running gfree, it gives you Super-cid, which means you don't have to use a goldcard.
You can flash radio's on ship hboot as well, by using PC10IMG, and flashing it through hboot.
Goldcards are only neccessary when downgrading roms when trying to root.
Also, having an eng hboot is recommended, because you have a lot more control over the phone than normal, if you were to really break anything, but could still get to hboot, then the phone will be recoverable.

Aah, thank you. I thought it was required to have the eng hboot to flash radios. I knew there must be a reason why this isn't a big deal lol.
