can't root phone (no sdcard and perfected spl) - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I have a Mytouch 3g (32b)
Ok so everything that has led me to this point was that my sdcard was not being recognized anymore after flashing a bad rom. the sdcard is good, it works in the PC, i've tried different sdcards none work in the phone. also it recognizes the sappimg.img file when in hboot so i can flash system images.
problem is whenever i try to flash an "unperfected" spl it makes my phone the "H" version when it should be G
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
when i flash a perfect spl, it looks more accurate:
Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
MAY 27 2009, 19:06:41
but with the perfected spl i can't flash a recovery, or use adb to trick the phone into thinking i have an sdcard folder.
someone help!! this has been going on for a week i am running out of options. i've read every single thread on xda at this point my head is spinning

Help with Perfected SPL

Here's my info from fastboot screen:

Rooting Magic 32B

Hi there,
I have been reading abit on gaining root access on this phone and here is my progress so far:
I have a Vodafone New Zealand HTC Magic 32B running Android v1.6 with the following SPL in the fastboot screen:
sapphire unknown 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Jul 31 2009,15:49:25
I have managed to create a goldcard and apply this engineering spl (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 - ROM v2.53.707.2) by Amon_RA in hboot.
After rebooting, the splashscreen has changed to HTC and I now have Android v1.5. Everything went well, so I thought until I went back to fastboot to check on the SPL
sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h
hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)
cpld-10
radio-3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009,17:27:03
As you can see it is now s-off h where it should be g?
And the radio is now 3.22.20.17.
I understand I have messed up by applying the wrong SPL. I tried to fastboot "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img", it hangs at the HTC magic splashscreen.
My questions:
What should one do to obtain s-off g and the appropriate radio?
Should one:
apply a different SPL, say 1.33.2004? < I think this is a google phone engineering SPL?
Or:
Change the radio following Amon_RA Revert to 32B Radio and ROM instructions?
The whole point of me gaining root access is to store applications on the sdcard and have a clean fast ROM.
Thank you all for your help.
p.s. Please feel free to move this thread to the appropriate forum if I have posted it wrongly.
You had to flash a 32A to your 32B device because you were using a perfected SPL, 1.33.0007. The next step would be to REVERT back to 32B.

I can't seem to get any roms to boot.

I can't find a solution using search but maybe I'm using the wrong terms.
I got a mytouch 3g today and decided to root it; out of the box it was
sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0007 (sapp30000)
cpld-10
radio-2.22.19.26I
Which is a perfect spl and according to the forum I needed to fix it. I followed Amon_RA's thread: "[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow)" made the gold card and flashed the recommended spl update now I'm
sapphire pvt 32B ENG s-off H
hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp30000)
cpld-10
radio-3.22.20.17.
I couldn't get any roms to boot since I missed the part about flashing back the 32B radio. There's just so much information it's overwhelming. So if anyone else has this problem with a 32b 1.33.0007 spl. First use the perfect spl method to flash to 1.33.2010 then use the rooting 32b thread to flash the 32b radio and recovery back.

[Q] Unable to upgrade to new radio / SPL

Hi all,
I'm in the process of trying to upgrade past CM 6.0 on my Magic (mytouch 1.2). I'm currently hitting a brick wall and was wondering if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction.
In fastboot - the device gives:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT -1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
..
RADIO-2.22.23.02
So that's what the phone is currently running. I can run Amon-Ra's 1.70 sapphire recovery on the phone as well as CM6.0
I was trying (hoping to be able to anyway) to upgrade the radio / SPL to take advantage of some of the GB stuff people are porting over. I first flashed an update to an Engineering SPL to 1.33.2005 in recovery, and then I fastboot flashed a new radio, 6.35.16.19 and SPL 1.76.2007. I attempted to flash Clockwork's recovery at this point, and have hit a brick wall. I can go back to the original version of the software with no problems, and my phone boots to fastboot even with the new stuff installed, but I am unable to boot to recovery, either by holding menu down, or trying to boot the image from fastboot.
I did make sure to format my SD Card, I've fastboot erase system -w'd, and also erased each individual partition, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

After flashing the Engineering SPL Update to move to 1.33.2005, the fastboot screen appears:

Then I flashed the new Radio (6.35.19) image, and the new SPL image (1.76.2007), as well as the Clockwork Mod recovery (I have tried this with AmonRa as well):

It's at this point, after doing 'fastboot erase system -w' and 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' and then rebooting, that I am unable to enter recovery mode. The phone just hangs at the htc magic splash screen. I should note that I am able to enter fastboot and hboot with no difficulty. Attempting to do 'fastboot boot "recovery.img"' has also proved unsuccessful.
I suspect that my problems lie in my original version of the SPL being S-ON. I get the feeling I'm going to need to go dig out my gold card, since the update I'm using to get to 1.33.2005 seems to indicate '32b'. I might also be reading too much into it.
What ever you do... STOP NOW.
You are working in the blind dude... you are 1 step away from bricking your device.
You cannot have 32A radio. Your device is a hybrid, a 32B with 32A ram... Just look at it as you have 32B with a little extra ram...
Follow this guide and continue from step 4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
Thanks for the save. I'll definitely admit that some of this is higher level than I'm used to. Appreciate you saving me from myself ;-)

[Q] can't find perfect SPL 32B

I wanted to get my magic S-OFF in order to flash a splash using fastboot, so I flashed to hboot 1.33.2010.
but now my phone is stuck at the bootscreen.
I want to revert my Hboot to it's stock, perfect SPL version but I can't find this anywhere. Most SPL's I find here are engineer versions with S-OFF.
additional information
after flashing spl:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
recovery: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan
before flasing this current spl it used to be:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
and this is what I want to restore it to. can anyone tell how to and where I can get this perfect SPL to flash it with my current recovery?
OMG, how teach users to read moreeeeeee?
Why did you flash hboot if i adviced you to flash custom ROM via custom recovery in previous topic?
Do you know that hboot 1.33.2010 for Magic 32A in general?
If you don't want get a brick - write full 5 rows of SPL-info (not only version of hboot)
I'm reading as much as I can untill I get headaches
and I did flash a custom ROM through recovery. but I wanted to get a different splash cause I'm sick of that ugly vodafone version so I changed SPL to get S-OFF for fastboot flashing.
and no, I didn't know 2010 is 32A only, guess I found out the hard way. I got this one cause it mentioned a .28.25 radio version so I assumed it right for my 32B. So I guess I did read all neccesary stuff, but I misjudged the 2010 SPL by the noted radio version.
anyway, as you asked the following information (assuming this is what you're after)

I'm searching all over the place but I can't find a SHIP G-branded hboot version anywhere.
Flash this eng version: 1.33.2005 and see if it boots normal.

1. Configure Android SDK Tools to operate fastboot.exe (utility is in Platform-tools package)
2. Search for hboot 1.33.0013d (or 1.33.0013) and unpack it if it in archive (you need .img file)
3. If you already flashed Amon Ra 1.7.0 G skip this step, if not search for recovery (1.7.0 G is compatible with radio 2.22.28.25)
4. Cause you have engineering hboot, you can simply reflash to compatible hboot
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
5. Run this command to reload
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. You can flash custom ROM via recovery now (turn phone off then turn on by pressing Home + Power)
tnx for the help so far
@ mumilover
I flashed that SPL but I'm still stuck on bootscreen. I considered it being a faulty ROM after the SPL mess so I superwiped twice, wiped Dalvik-cache and reinstalled the Yoshi Froyo MM1 ROM, but the problem persists.

@5[strogino]
I'm able to perform all the steps you posted. Only I can't find the correct hbot.
the only one I found is a 1.33.0013b version wich has a 2.22.27.08 radio. And I don't think my current ROM is compatible with that radio. found the hboot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Does SDK platform-tools house SPL/hboot images? if so I can't find them.
a side not; I managed to change my splash screen (wich caused the whole mess ) Don't suppose that's causing the bootstuck problem?

Yes. This is right thread and it contains 1.33.0013d (as i adviced)
1.33.0013d is compatible with 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25, so don't worry
About platform-tools - you need working fastboot.exe utility, to do flash
Your main problem is that you have hboot/radio mismatch. Even you on 1.33.2005 - you are not able to use Yoshi ROM.
Your goal:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)
RADIO-2.22.28.25
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
These hboot and radio are fully compatible with Ginger Yoshi or ezGingerbread.
do you want me to specifically use fastboot to flash? I can use my custom recovery aswell, it still works like a charm.
I indeed want the SPL configuration you listed as my goal. Only the hboot I'm about the flash (1.33.0013d) will be with radio version 2.22.27.08.
are Yoshi ROM or stock ROM compatible with that radio? I made a nand backup of stock ROM just in case
[SOLVED]
end result:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)

recovery: remained intact: Amon-RA v1.7.0G
ROM: Yoshi MOD MM1
First I flashed the radio, wich actually wasn't neccesary cause it remained the same. Then I flashed the hboot.
Good to know for other ppl, I flashed the images only, so not the zip. I flashed the hboot as last cause it disables fastboot flash method.
Then I booted to recovery, superwiped, factory reset-wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik-cache, reboot to recovery and flashed Yoshi MOD.
al works good again. The best part is, I got my custom splash screen but I think there are more subtle methods to accomplish it. I guess you wouldn't want to get S-OFF unless is absolutely neccesary.
Tnx 5[strogino] for the help, I apreciate it.
