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

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 have the same phone, and the same issue. When apply the RUU , there is a ID Model Error...
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.

You didn't say anything about turning that sd card into a goldcard. Did you do that? If you didnt, then there's your problem
Hi, I have the same problem (this is my first day with my new htc magic,and the first day in my life with android).
My magic is a a black, german, vodafone branded 32b version, with 1.6 android on it.
I haven't changed anything on it yet, everything is stock on it.
So, if I just try putting the sappimg.nbh on the sd card and trying to update, it says the same to me:
Model ID incorrect!
update fail!
So I tried to make a goldcard following these steps:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
(on section II. 9. it says to replace the reverse cid first two digit to two 00,my first two digits were "ca",so nut numbers,I've replaced them to 00)
Then I tried to downgrade the phone with the goldcard,but it says:
Main version is older!
Update fail!
I thougt that this procedure will put android 1.5 on my magic,so how can it be that the 1.6 on the phone is "older",than the 1.5 I'm trying to put on it?
What have I done wrong?
What can I do?
How can I put sense rom on my magic?
Any help would be apreciated

You don't need a goldcard with 1.33.0006. Probably an issue with the SAPPimg.nbh you're trying to use. Try this one:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BLM4EDGE
Once downloaded, format your SD card through your phone under 'SD card and storage'. Once formatted, place the SAPPimg.nbh on your sd card. Power down your phone, hold volume down and power until you're in the HBoot screen. Press actions to perform update and wait until complete. You should be at 1.5 at this point.
thanks friend

I believe its actually a perfected SPL, however, the one click method still seems to work with this SPL. That's what I'm using, that's what my girlfriends phone has, and I've rooted about 5 other phones using that exact SPL. You shouldn't have an issue. Worst case scenario, you'll have to make a goldcard and should be able to obtain root that way.

Hmmm...strange. Sorry to hear. Goldcard method should get around it just fine. Just make sure you follow the goldcard instructions to the T.
Do you have the correct sappimg.nbh? I remember getting the same error and the problem was that I was using a file that was meant for dream instead of mytouch. the mytouch file should be around 98MB.
The SAPPIMG.nbh what i have is 96MB.. is for the mytouch...
i think to make a goldcard and try it whit that..
32B UNKNOWN From Vodafone.. i cant get the phone sync with my computer..
only to open the map (SD Card)

Hi Just got a Rogers Dream from a friend in the following tree color state:
DREA210 PVT 32B RUUNBH

RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008

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:

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?

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 have searched for a while and found different answers and have tried several solutions but I make no progress. What am I doing wrong?
I have a myTouch 3g 1.2 with this on my hboot page:
Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

CPLD - 13

Summary:
-Bought mytouch brand new with T-Mobile
-Flashed clockwork mod and rooted previously successfully creating a gold card, recovery, and flashing ROMs
-Factory reset for clean wipe and froze
-I could get into hboot and fastboot no problem and even get my computer to recognize the device
-A "friend" tried his luck and gave it back to me resulting in the bootup screen being Rogers and unable to be recognized by my computer
-I can still flash SAPPIMG however results in "Main Version is Older" update failed. From the tutorials I read I needed to create the gold card. I did that after formatting fat32 with a kensington 2GB card.
-I have tried to flash the Engineering SAPPIMG also, but it gives me the same response.
As of now I still have access on the phone to hboot and fastboot but am stuck as to how to get the phone to take an update file.
Help! Please!
So you've got the myTouch with the 3.5mm jack, correct? If so, go smack your "friend" for being an idiot and tell him to be glad he didn't brick your phone. If your getting "Main Version is Older" there's something up with your goldcard. You don't have the goldcard you created when you originally rooted?
At either rate, once you get your goldcard squared away, just use my guide to essentially re-root, but in your case get your phone fixed too. Here's my guide to follow. Since you already know how to flash ROM's and such, you of course can opt out of installing CM 6.1 and use whatever ROM you want. Just use the guide up to step #9.
DonJuan, are you sure the goldcard fixes the Main version is older problem? I thought it only fools hboot into thinking you have SuperCID (can install ROMs for any region).
AFAIK, it's suppose to also force the phone to bypass the version check as well.
Thank you for the quick response. I thought that I had the gold card equipped. I used the goldcard.img from when I had previously made a gold card with the same phone and memory card so I assumed that nothing would have changed. I opened the HEX editor and changed the lines 00 to 170 with the gold card image and saved it.
With my phone being the way it is, would the gold card have changed at all? Or is it device specific?
I'm going through the process carefully this time to make sure I do it right. I appreciate it!
Sounds like your good. The goldcard.img is specific to the SD card, so as long as its the same one you should be good.

i have a mytouch 3g. belives its the fender edition but white from what i have been reading.. i got it this way from my friend, ive tried the gold card option, though i dont have this phones cid i used my buddys from another mytouch 3g. it still says model id incorrect when i try to flash sappimg, ive tried switching it from .zip to .nbh which i have been reading sometimes you dont have to have the goldcard. ive tried all different kinds of sappimg's nothing works. it either says model id incorrect or something about it being to old firmware wise. i can get into fastboot and hboot so its not a total loss yet i dont think. when i turn the phone on regular it stays on the vodafone slash screen. and i have also read that it should be because he flashed the wrong radio, firmware that wasnt compatible? ive tried just flashing a recovery but wont let me. keeps trying to flash sappimg even if not present. i have 2 sd cards one is a sandisc and the other is pny could that be the issue, do i still need the kingston even though they both still read after the gold card process. i am at a complete loss if someone could please shoot me in the right direction that would be great.
this is what it says on the hboot/fastboot screen:
sapphire unknown 32A ship s-on h
hboot-1.33.0009 (sapp31000)
cpld-13
radio-3.22.20.17
may 8 2009, 21:02:32
All the symptoms indicates a faulty goldcard or wrongly preparation of the same.
Let's start with the basic....
You do not have the optimal radio for your device.
You have "cpld-13" which is a hybrid between the 32A and 32B. You have the ram from the 32A but use a 32B radio.
The radio you have is for the pure 32A devices.
To fix that, you need to flash "something" using the goldcard. Why?
Because the spl you currently running on the device is "perfected; with other words, it will NOT allow you to flash anything... that's why you get denied every time you try to flash.
The goldcard will circumvent this by letting you flash any signed update package (sappimg.zip/nbh) which matches the current version of the firmware or anything higher. The good thing about the goldcard, is that it will bypass the id check. This way you can flash packages meant for a different device, which properly is the cause to why you have a mismatched radio/spl combo. If you get an error regarding the version nr, you are properly trying to flash something which has a lower version than what is already running on the device.
Referring to your statements from the OP, the "model id is incorrect" indicates that you have a faulty goldcard, because the essence of such a card is to circumvent that issue.
Changing from zip to nbh or the other way around will not help because the problem is in the foundation(the goldcard) or in the execution(the preparation). This also indicates the following:
1) You are working in the blind (flashing god knows what - NOT RECOMMENDED)
2) You are desperate
3) Lacking basic knowledge about problem at hand.
All not very wise when dealing with "exhaustion" of all possibilities(as mentioned in the title), because the problem-definition is based on merely speculations.
Enough with the "wise ass" lectures... let's do something constructive.
Start by issuing the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
The above will determine which version the device is running. Based on that, we can find the appropriate sappimg for you to flash.
The second thing you can do, is to take a look at the first 5-7 sticky threads. There are a lot of useful information. Also a thread handling specifically your device.
Post the result of the above command and we can take it from there..
Good luck
i type the code and it just sits their waiting for the device???
ok i reinstalled the sdk bundle and got it to work...
version-main 2.53.707.2
OK.... follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
It's located within the first 8 threads of the general section.
A working goldcard is a MUST.
But it should fix your problem completely :0)
cool thanks is there a way to get my cid threw fastboot? or what would be the best way like i said i have the pny and sandisc mircro cards i can go threw making. ive done it like a million times with no success. or could it just be the cards should i just get a kingston card and try it again? i have a cid from a friends phone but maybe its a bad number or something. not sure..
You can use any android device to get the cid of the sdcard.
Fastboot is not possible to use.
You must remember, that the cid you get is on valid for the sdcard you read it from. You cannot interchange cid to another sdcard.

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
