Signature Incorrect: Update Failed

Hey guys, I used to have root access, and was having some problems flashing any rom to my phone, so I decided to unroot my phone and start from scratch. I follower The Unlockr's guide to unrooting my phone. at this point I am unable to flash the proper Sappimg nbh / .zip to my phone. I get the error message. I have followed several tutorials no rooting and unrooting my phone, and I never remembered rooting being this difficult the first time I had to downgrade from 1.6. I have used my gold card, and as far as I can see the goldcard was created correctly. There isn't any kind of Sappimg that I can find that is signed or that I can use to get myself back on the right track. In the long run I want to be using Engineer SPL and Amon Ra's most recent recovery image. Also with my 32B board do I need to use the H or G recovery image from Amon Ra? If I try to fastboot a recovery image I get the error message that I cannot use remote. I've tried the Perfected SPL fix, and when I try to apply the SAPPIMG.zip, my phone displays "Model ID: incorrect" Can anyone help me out on this one?
*Side note on the Goldcard
Is my reversed CID supposed to be a HEX reverse or a string reverse?
and when I finish writing the goldcard image, is the lost.dir supposed to be on the memory card?

I may have skimmed over some of the details of my whole process, if you need anymore information feel free to PM me and I will respond and edit post.

Did you use Cyanogen Wiki manual to downgrade?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...rom_1.6_TO_1.5__and_Rooting_for_T-Mobile_MT3G

Main Version is older
Went to the Wiki, and I wish I had found that one first so I wouldn't be in this mess But I will remember that page in the future so I can unroot my device with ease. When I try to apply that sappimg, I get the error message:
"Main Version is older!
Update Failed"
Any trick updates that will work for me to root this one? When I try Amon Ra's Perfected SPL trick, I cannot apply any of those updates unless I am trying to do it wrong.
Thank you in advance for helping me get this solved, I cannot tell you just how badly I may have screwed my device. I do have a working device for now, so no worries on unbricking a phone.

Bump
Has anyone found any solutions yet?

Go to IRC and ask for help.

SPL
I noticed that the stock SPL on the fender edition was 1.33.0013 SAPP 31000 and mine is SAPP 30000, should I try using unrooting methods for the fender editions?

hope u can solve it earlier

Mod. edit: not rom dev related, moved to general

Tried the MT3G fender rooting process and no love with it. Hboot finds the update and the blue bar comes up for a while and then continues searching for update images. Anyone who knows a little more on the subject of the Hboot information please look at my information and see if something is incorrect for an original MT3G that was supposed to be unrooted.

bump, Anyone have any more help?

Try this out.

Rogers HTC Dream Error 0002802 not allowed

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

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)

I had tried the xda-dev post entitled [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, and I was receiving the same errors you described. I tried creating the goldcard following this xda-dev page Qns wrt SG Htc Dream and SDcard, even though I followed the hex editing info exactly, I continued getting the same errors similar to what just you described. I tried it using the exact method, which meant I had to wait to create the goldcard at work, since I don't have a windows machine at home (not trying to imply that this couldn't be done on Windows, just letting you know about what happened with me, when I was trying it too).
After trying most things and getting practically fed up, I decided to find out if I could just create the gold card on Ubuntu (since I didn't want to wait any longer). There was a Tutorial for the that I found my searching google Nazri Awang: How to create a goldcard with Ubuntu Linux, which is what I used finally to successfully create a working goldcard. I would have given you the links, but as newer posting member here, I am unable to link using any outside links in this forum yet.
I can try to and help you as I struggled with this last night and at the end of the evening, I am now running a 2.1 cyanogenmod version. I would like to document what works this time, as I really didn't get a chance to do that when I was trying to figure it out for myself. If you want send me a private message here, and I will IM you as soon as I can to try and help. We can then post the how-to here so that others can benefit from it.
Let me know either way.
Thanks,

Can you either paste the link here, or put the title of the tutorial or wiki you used to create your goldcard. After creating it before doing anything else did you try and insert it back into the phone? Does it do that successfully?
Thanks!

Greetings potential saviors!!! I swear on my immortal soul that I have scoured these forums for an answer, and I can attest to having followed technical instructions to the T, but after countless hours of suffering through endless failures I am humbly asking for the assistance of someone wiser, someone stronger, and someone with the compassion and fortitude to help someone as desperate as myself.
My phone, like the others mentioned in this thread, is a T-Mobile myTouch 3g (Google branded) with the following specs:
Firmware Version:1.6

saphire pvt 32B ship s-on g
radio 2.22.23.02
cpld-10
hboot 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000)
I'm trying to root my phone and from what I have read it is necessary to create a "goldcard" in order for the phone to flash the sappimg.nbh file. I followed the steps (theunlockr) and was successful according to their test of being able to read the SD card after the process of coping the goldcard image to the micro SD. I've made four separate goldcard's using Kingston 2GB cards, each time I believe successfully.
When moving on to process of going into HBOOT I continually receive the same error message "Update Fail, Main Version Older." This error appears as the update is finalizing during the checksum process.
Does anyone have an idea of what my next step should be? Thanks for your help!

Can try itnet7's idea. Perhaps something is failing with the goldcard. other then that, other random things I guess you can try, is re-downloading the nbh, or try another brand sd card.

Perhaps they might work. Goodluck.

Problem solved! It turns out that I required a later version of the sappimg file. I used 2.53.707.2 sappimg (Google searchable). The only issue is that when the phone booted with that image it did not have andriod market installed (need for the Linda file manager). After a short freak out, I loaded the sappimg from theunlockr redirect. Tada...was able to root and now running Froyo.

The 2.53.707.2 sappimg did not work for me but "SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed.nbh" did. Search in google - lots of download links. I used the goldcard method.

[Q] Need help rooting MT3G with HBOOT 1.33.0007

Hello there,
I got a myTouch 3G recently, and I've been trying to root it. These are the details of my Android:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

I've tried the Unlockr guide (my phone needs a goldcard apparently), the guide on XDA specifically for my SPL, Cyanogen Wiki, and few other threads I found on good old xda. I even found a thread on T-Mobile's forums. All to no avail. I keep getting the "Model ID Incorrect!" message.
What can I do? Anything I might be doing wrong? Perhaps not getting the right SAPPIMG.ZIP/SAPPIMG.NBH? I've come across 3 or 4 all with different sizes and of course md5 hashes.
I will gladly disclose any information required to root my phone and make me happy monkey.
Thanks for reading and any help is highly appreciated.
Edit: Android release is DMD64.

dmd64
Im having the same issue, every sappimg.nbh/zip i try has update fail issues. I was getting version older message. Then i made a goldcard and got adb working. Now im getting no image when i flash and it wont recognize the img to update it now the newest one i tried says signature fail. I have the mt3g firmware 1.6 dmd64 with hboot 1.33.0007. I have a kingston 2g goldcard after trying to make one on a sandisk 2g. I tried formatting goldcard and starting over. I beleive it works comp and phone recognize it. Does anyone know the trick or have the correct sappimg. I just want to downgrade so i can continue, 47 hours or so into this.... plzzzze

No goldcard needed. Just read everything and you should have root in 5 mins.

[Q] Trying to restore my phone back to official firmware.

A long time ago, I tried getting help on how to root my mytouch 3g 32b, but now, I just want it back to its most current but official firmware. Here's an opening post from a previous thread of mine:
A few months ago, I made a help thread on how to get my phone rooted after some roadblock. However, I didn't get any type of help whatsoever. So I decided to remain on the phone's base firmware for eternity. However, I decided to try again. Anyways, below is the opening post I made for that thread. I only included the parts I still have trouble on.
(i made sure to do a backup)
Let me sum up what I have done:
I've managed to follow a guide on a wiki(I lost the link however, since I ATTEMPTED to give up on this) that involved me downgrading my firmware, then do some steps to install cyanogen 1.4. Afterwards, I got to step that required me to rename some file to update.zip. I followed that step and noticed my computer didn't convert the file to a zip file(it remained as a img file) but continued anyway while finding that odd.
Afterwards, cyanogen tells me that it cannot find the zip file. I've search most of google and a bit of this site, and i've seen various solutions that failed me such as:
-renaming the update.zip to update
-using android sdk(which i have no clue on how to use)
So if you managed to read my long and boring story, let me ask one question:
How do I get my phone back to normal if rooting is impossible at this point?

Whenever I try to do a firmware update from the phone itself,(it's stuck in its base 1.5 firmware right now) it keeps taking me to CyanogenMod's 1.4 + jf screen, thus indirectly stopping the update. What to do?

Start the phone by pressing volume down + power button and copy the exact information of your device (32A or 32B, HBOOT, SAPP, CPLD, RADIO) and using that information search or ask for the original sappimg.zip for that particular device.
Then just copy the sappimg.zip directly to the sdcard. Start the phone by pressing volume down + power button until the bootloader shows. Follow the instructions to proceed updating your phone and you will get stock firmware.
I get stock firmware using that method, my device info is:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

I found something from this thread:

and renamed the zip file that was posted later on into update.zip(not update.zip.zip). However, This is what happens:

-Finding update package...
-Opening update package...
-Verifying update package...
E:No signature (173 files)

Installation aborted.
I don't know why it wouldn't work.

That post says that official stock rom (FRG83) is required before flashing the update.
Did you try this?
http://www.4shared.com/file/jp8lUl2T/SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1885311_.html
It is supposed to be for 32B, HBOOT-1.33.0006 and radio 2.22.19.261
Once downloaded copy it to the sdcard, follow the above instructions for sappimg, this time make sure the extension is nbh but the procedure is the same.
Let us know the results.

It seems things went swimmingly(at the cost of my contacts since I forgot to backup...)
I'm still at the base firmware of 1.5 though. When I try to do a firmware update from the settings, it says my system is currently up to date...Is that really the current? I could've sworn there was a newer one in existence.

These devices are long forgotten from manufacturers, they don't get updates anymore. However, you could try
to get froyo manually.
First, erase the previous sappimg file from the sdcard so you don't have to wait the whole process of scanning and asking if you want to update (you did that already).
Download this to your PC:
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
(RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_3.12.531.1_FRG83D_release_signed)
This will update to version 3.12.531.1, HBOOT to 1.33.0013 and RADIO to 2.22.28.25
Boot your phone to bootloader again, press the <back> key and you will be in fastboot mode.
Connect the phone to pc, the phone will highlight "FASTBOOT USB".
Disable your antivirus and execute the RUU as administrator, it should update to FRG83D.
Let me know if that works.

It updated without trouble. Thank you very much for assisting me with a problem i've been having for almost a year.

Happy to hear that, good luck.
