Recovery won't work and not reading SD card - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello!
Yesterday I bought my first android phone, an used HTC Magic. I've decided to root it with Universal Androot method. I've done everything step by step and I though it works.
After that I wanted to see new recovery menu, installed by ROM manager. Suprisingly it wasn't working, all i saw was a quick blink of clockwork menu and then it just started to bootlooping itself.
After a bit of struggle I managed it to start the system, but there's another problem. It's not reading my SD card. I tried it with different, formatted cards but still no good. The only piece of information I can get from my phone that it always says "SD card removed" at the beginning of turning on, even if there's no card inside. Recovery don't work.
Here's my fastboot screen:

I thought about flashing some other recovery and then trying to apply a fresh ROM, but I don't know how to do it without using SD card.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

follow this guide:

You have allready root i suppose...
then skip step 1-4... start at 0 then jump to 5...
If you have no root, then do every thing..

Problem solved.
I had PerfectSPL, so I've crack it with RUU method and rooted it properly.
Now everything works great.
Thanks for interesting though.

I've gotten my Magic working again, but my SD card is also not being recognized.
I've got what I believe is a good gold card, but I cannot do the RUU method.
Can you let me know what you did to get this to work, or at least to get my SD card functionality back?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am experiencing exactly the same problem as you had described in your original post. I see that you seemed to have fixed your problem, can you direct me to a guide or a how-to on resolving it in the manner that you have done?

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

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:

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

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 was attempting to root this phone using the unlockr one click method using a gold card. Upon loading the ROM and rebooting the phone became stuck on the vodafone flash screen.
I am now attempting to HBOOt the phone using a gold card but keep getting the "Main Version is Older" message.
Can someone please help me or provide an response that may assist me in finding a solution.
TIA
Your goldcard is jacked up. Try remaking it or trying a different SD card.
Im also getting the same probelm. I try it on 2 different micro sd card and i still get the same message. What am i doing wrong.
Same deal. If your getting Main Version is Older, then your goldcard is jacked up. Did you repeat the entire procedure to create the goldcard when you tried the second SD card? You can't use the same goldcard.img for both SD cards.
You can't bypass mainversion is older with a gold card only the region check.. can you get into a rom? And if not what did you flash to break the rom?
Do you have a custom recovery (and can you boot into it) you said you used one click

I thought that was the whole point of the gold card??? I could be wrong though.
You need a different sappimg.nbh file. Search this forum for Main Version Older and you'll find the one that I used.

I try it with 2 brand new cards. One was the sandisk 2gb and the other was the tpk 2gb. i did everything i needed to do to make it a goldcard and they both do the same thing. I just dont understand if they jacked up... why would they boot up on the phone when i press the vol down and power button? Then it loads everything but stops when it saids the Main version is older. Maybe is the Sappimg thats corrupted? Sorry for the questions but im new to doing this on android phones. Ive done the jailbreak on iphones. Im trying something new here.
I resolved this , thanks for the help, I recreated a gold card with a different sdcard and all went fine.

MyTouch 3G 1.2 - Removed SD Card Error

Ok first off I wanna let you guys know there is no problem with the SD card or the SD card slot on my phone, the phone WILL read the SD card in fastboot, that is it. The reason I know this is because I can load SAPPIMG.zip from the SD card in fastboot. Long story short I messed up installing radios and the only way to get my phone back to normal was installing the original SAPPIMG for the 1.2 which is where I am now. The main problem is I cannot get this phone to read the SD card.
I have tried fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 but since I don't have Engineerings SPL it won't work. I cannot make a gold card since my phone won't read the SD card, therefore I can't change the SPL. I did manage to root my phone by installing Universal Androot through ADB, but that's as far as I got. I pretty much know what the problem is, when I run fastboot oem boot I can see board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=1 when it should read =0. How can I go about fixing this? I've tried everything I could think of including loading a custom recovery but that won't work either. No matter what the phone won't read the SD card except in fastboot, not even recovery. I'm pretty sure there has to be a way to fix this but after searching for hours and hours I couldn't figure anything out.

well, I have the same problem as you do, now I've got an idea but I can't try it at present. The golden card might has nothing to do with your device, so you may borrow your friends' android device to creat a golden card and then, you can try to flash the sapping.zip
I'm not positive on this so hopefully someone else can confirm.
My idea, since you already have root, would be to use ROM Manger to install a custom recovery (either Amon Ra or ClockworkMod), boot into recovery, and flash the sappimg.zip (the one used to get the 2010 engineering SPL) to achieve access via fastboot. Then you could fix your SD problem since you seem to already know how to handle that part and just reflash the stock bootloader/radio. Or you could do as the previous person stated and use another Android phone to create a goldcard and run that method.
I tried ROM Manager but the progam is basically useless because it always says it needs an SD Card to do anything. I'm guessing I just need another android device to make a gold card and I should be fine
Hi, i had the same problem, but with unrooted phone.
i finally managed to set board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=1 to board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0
in fastboot mode run this command in cmd:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
and then this:
fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0
after that i obtained working sdcard.
Now i have problem with unrooting my magic. It reboots/crashes at recovery mode so i can't update the eng spl.

hello, have your problem been solved?
Have you tried unrooting using universal androot, then putting in the SD card? My sd card starting erroring up after I rooted using androot, but a quick unroot and reroot fixed the problem. Let me know!

sappimg
i had that same problem and i had the sappimg file on my sdcard and it did the same thing. I removed the sappimg file when i didnt need it anymore and i think it stopped. my phone got buggy recently so i went back to the regular firmware and i had to put the sappimg file back on to load from bootloader. and i noticed that my sd was having a problem again. i am going to take the sappimg off of the sd card and test it out for a while to see if i have any problems so im about 80% sure thats it but i will let you know if i find out anything else

[Q] 32a magic mytouch 3g unable to get to recovery

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:

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.

[Q] T-Mobile My Touch 3G Vodafone Red Screen

I have spent the last 2 days reading and watching all the information so I can help my brother Root his My Touch 3G phone. I cant handle his crying and *****ing anymore about what horse.... his phone has become after T-Mobile pushed Froyo. Once comfortable enough I followed direction from unlockr.com and was able to create Gold card with my 16 Gig Kingston MicroSD.
I ran into couple of issues during, and I will list them here in case someone runs into same issues.
Problems:
1. I had 3 MicroSD cards 2Gig, 4Gig, and 8Gig all SanDisk. None of them worked. I would get as far as step when I need to flash the sappimg.zip but phone couldn't see it. When I decided to use my 16Gig Kingston card it worked the first time.
2. I had to create a new Gold card Img after I switched cards.
3. During the CID acquisition when I ran adb shell; cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid; it came back as error. I forgot to place my Micro SD card back into the phone.
4. Got error when flashing for wrong model number. Double, triple check the CID code as well as the Reverse CID code.
5. During the HEX Editing portion of the process when selecting Offset lines I failed to select line 00000170 as well. The best way to make sure how to do this is to select backwards from 00000170 - 00000000.
Back to my issue. I flashed the phone but instead of rebooting it is stuck on Vodafone red screen. I rebooted and went back into FastBoot:

You flashed the wrong sappimg. Follow the "Old school" rooting guide in my signature and you'll be fine.

During my search, I started to think more and more that I did something wrong during the flash process. As you pointed it out, I flashed wrong sappimg.zip. However I might be in a bit of a tight spot. When I did this for my brother, I wiped my phone so I could use my 16 Gig Kingston MicroSD. Since then I have replaced that card back to my phone and restored my phone. I also wiped the Gold Card image that I had on it.... Inability to boot into the Android system to format the card would impair me from making a new one, wouldn't it? I can get into the fast-boot menu, and I did try to continue with the process, but my laptop is unable to "see" the phone.
Is there anything else I can do, or am I over thinking this?

If you've got Android on your HD2 you can use it to make the goldcard. Or any other phone running Android for that matter.

It took a bit but the 8GB Kingston MicroSD card that my brother ordered is finally here.I restarted the entire process as you suggested from the link that is in you signature. "The old school way". I remade the Gold card using my phone. His MyTouch 3G recognizes the sappimg.zip file with no issues. However once I use the trackball to update process gets stuck at first step:
[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping
[2] USERDATA
[3] BOOT
[4] BOOTLOADER
[5] RADIO_V2
[6] RECOVERY
[7] SPLASH1
Update is in progress...
Do not power off the device!
Any ideas?
