Well, first off. Totally the wrong forum.
This should be in the myTouch 3G, Magic General section.
You need to start by following this guide:
[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow) by using the GoldCard method.
If it isnt working, your Goldcard probably isnt correct.
Or, the SD card your using just WONT work for Goldcards.
This guide is also very helpful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918

(sorry for the wrong posting! hopefully a administrator could move it to the right forum
Thanks for the quick reply!
I've tried the "how to fix perfected SPL", i then get "mainversion is older update failed".
Should i make a new Goldcard with another SD Card? Or could i use the one I allready made, and just do the steps from the beginning to "re"make it?

Well you can try with the same card again (took me two tries for mine). Otherwise you may need a different card. I hear that 2gb Kingston cards work the best (also what I used)

Somebody HELP me with SAPPIMG.nbh

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 am downloading it right now...
hope this one is the good one
one question.... why is my HBOOT 1.33.006 the good one? Perfect or nonperfect spl????

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)

i have the hope that i walk with a magic with a hero rom. haha

[Ques:]mytouch 1.0 -1.2

i have a refurbished mytouch that doesnt have a 3.5 jack but i get the wrong model ID error when trying to run sappimg.nbh
Im guessing i just follow the goldcard method but is it normal to get that error for a 1.0? or is it only for 1.2
thanks

If you have T-Mobile they came out with some blanket policy update that doesn't allow the spl to be changed. Try going to theunlockr.com and follow his goldcard method. It worked for me with a mytouch 1.2 and he also has methods for mytouch 1.0.

[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:

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.

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.

You have S-Off so just lookup on how to use fastboot commands to flash the needed radio, recovery and spl.
I really hope that this isn't a US T-Mobile device.

First combo, we could have helped you out...
But the second combo... ooohhh... bad one...
Perfected spl and wrong radio/spl combo... NOT GOOD!
Try to flash the sappimg.zip that gave you the first spl version (1.33.2010).
If you get that back, then we can work out the rest pretty easy!

Are you trying to intentionally brick your friends phone?
[RANT]
I'm guessing that you didn't do much reading before actually messing with his phone did you?
MyTouch 1.2 (aka Fender, aka LE) w/3.5mm headphone jack
Ultimate Guide: How to root myTouch 1.2/LE Fender (3.5mm jack)
Look, I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time but this is exactly what I was talking about a few days ago.
There is so much confusion over this device! It's not hard! Anyone that thinks that is is should have been around when the device first came out! DAMN THAT WAS ROUGH! But it was a learning experience. And through that learning experience we made apps (Androot) and guides and stickies JUST FOR THIS! Yet... how does this keep happening??? Someone explain it to me... please. I'm desperate to know.
[/RANT]
With that said... you are going to have to use a goldcard now that you have S-ON, still not rooted, no custom recovery, etc. You won't be able to boot the phone up because you are DEFINITLY using the wrong radio. You'll be lucky if you didn't completely brick it already.
Use the links above to create a goldcard. I'll warn you that this can be a pain in the butt ( not to mention that some sdcards are notorious for not working at all for this method!) because it requires getting ANOTHER android phone, putting the sdcard in to get the serial number of the sdcard (unless someone knows another way to get it), entering the code into a website to get the goldcard image e-mailed to you then using a hex editor to copy the bootsectors of that goldcard image enter the code into the hardware of the sdcard via card reader so you can use the freshly made goldcard, then all that's left is dowloading the right sappimg.zip file, placing it on the root of the sdcard and booting into the bootloader. You would flash the goldcard image At that point you will be have the Engineering (S-OFF) SPL again and the CORRECT radio. Once that is done you only need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (G type, not H)
Then flash the stock SPL back.
Then you will be free to flash a 32B type rom through recovery.
After you have done ALL OF THAT! Your friend might spare your life.
Here... try something like this. Maybe you can find someone to help.

(Q) Help Please mytouch 32b with 32a on it

Long time since I have been on this forum. Anyway, got a friends 32B mytouch that I have been meessing around with. Had the ginger yoshi rom running for a few days.
I went to update radio and spl today and definately screwed that up. I have no recovery, and can only get into the bootloader screen.
Heres my stuff:
saph PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
Hboot 1.33.0009
cpld-10
radio-6.35.16.19
It is a 32B but now shows 32A. I have tried a couple of the fastboot tools and have not suceeded to flash any other radio, SPL, or any recovery. I have tried flashing the SAPPIMP.NBH OG way of rooting and it never passes the RADIO update.
Thanks
Someone please let me know if they have any advise.
try not to flash the sapping in fastboot and try it from a goldcard in h boot
To make a gold card i understand you need your CID #. How do i get that if my phone wont boot. Can this be done via fastboot?

No, but you can do it from any Android powered phone. However, I'm not sure flashing a sappimg is exactly going to work. This is more mumilover's area, so hopefully he'll check in and can add his thoughts.
Thanks DonJuan. Yea, i have a post into Mumilover. Hopefully he can help.
I'm thinking the fix is going to be somewhere around flashing an engineering SPL and then flashing the correct SPL/radio combo, but even that's going to require a goldcard.
Yeap... goldcard is essential :0)
Any android phone can make it...
