Problem rooting MT3G 1.2

So I was following the directions on unlockr and I seem to be having some problems.
I downloaded the sappimg and flashed it, restarted and it hung at the first boot screen for 15 - 20 minutes. I restarted into the bootloader mode and tried to reflash the sappimg but its stuck at "[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping" and the progress bar hasn't filled at all...
What should I do? Should I try to restart and do it again or?
Also, my original info on that screen has changed, it was this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
Now it says:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP3100)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.20.17

Does this mean it flashed okay and I should just move on in the guide or?
Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: I downloaded the sappimg.zip file a couple of times and I double checked that it copied okay to the goldcard... I think the file is correct but I don't know why I'm running into problems on the first few step

My phone has been sitting this way for almost an hour... Should I just take out the battery and hope for the best or does anyone have any suggestions? It seems that it hasn't flashed anything or done anything at all since it is just saying "unzipping" without any progress... I plugged it into usb because I don't want the battery running out but I'm not convinced its charging...
Anyone?

So I gave up, restarted (by removing the battery) I can still get into fastboot/'bootloader mode' (is this the same as recovery?) and my SPL and Radio information is the same as earlier. 'fastboot devices' reveals my phone in fastboot mode so I think I'm on the right track but I just want to be sure... Should I continue on and do the fastboot commands?
EDIT: PLEASE DELETE/CLOSE THIS THREAD
Despite running into problems, I continued through the guide and it worked out perfectly.

if you phones info in hboot is

then you can proceed to the next steps..
you need the original fender/1.2 radio img , hboot/spl, and amen ra's rooted recovery... and flash them in that order 1st. radio 2nd. hboot/spl and 3rd rooted recovery...
and no hboot is not the same as recovery..fastboot its your hboot/spl

Thanks for the reply, I guess I didn't need to create a thread because I figured it out on my own. I was worried I bricked my new phone but it worked out in the end.
Thanks again! This thread can be closed/deleted.

Stuck in fastboot?

My phone just boots right to fastboot. Is there anyway to fix this?

There are two possible solutions, the first one requires an Engineering SPL, and the other possibly a goldcard.
1. If you have an Engineering SPL then you can just use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then flash a ROM from that recovery.
2. If you don't have an Engineering SPL you can copy a SAPPIMG.zip file to your SDCard which will automatically flash the phones' radio,spl,recovery,splash,boot,data,system...and what not, restoring it to an un-rooted state.

The good news is as long you have fastboot, your phone IS NOT BRICKED :0)

Stuck in Fastboot after attempting to flash new CM from ROM Manager
I have always manually installed through Amon RA, but I downloaded ROM Manager from the market and tried to install the new stable CM 6.0. I was stuck with the T-Mobile G1 screen for 20 minutes before attempting to reboot into recovery (removing the battery and holding down Home+Power). It went back to the G1 screen.
I can get to Fastboot (Power+Camera), but that's it. I'm not sure where to go from there. I don't know how to get back to recovery or interact with my phone through USB connection to my computer. Can someone help? All I see in Fastboot is what is below. Pressing numbers on my keypad on my phone does nothing.

You would be better off asking in the G1 forums since this one is for the myTouch/HTC Magic one.

[Q] Need some help on SPL problem

Hi guys/gals, I know I did a stupid thing which I downloaded a wrong SAPPIMG.zip for breaking the perfect SPL, my Magic is a 32A device and the original SPL version should be a "H" instead of "G".
Now after flashing the sappimg.zip, my phone's SPL + Radio info as below:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP s-ON G

So... I tired to use fastboot method to boot to recovery, it shows remote not allow. And then, I tired to use the gold card method to flash the Europe RUU by using the rom1.zip renaming as sappimg.zip, I've also tried the Roger one
Everything is going fine but I got the Partition Update Fail, message like below:
[1] BOOTLOADER - OK
[2] RADIO V2 - OK
[3] SPLASH1 - OK
[4] RECOVERY - OK
[5] BOOT - OK
[6] SYSTEM - Fail-PU
[7] USERDATA - OK
Partition update fail!
Update Fail!
More over, my Magic is from Hong Kong and I've tired the Hong Kong RUU, but I got a "Main Version is older" using the gold card method, and I got a "Bootloader Version Error" by running the RUU on windows.
And then, I've tired the ROM v2.53.707.2 from the thread "[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow)" by Amon_RA (Sorry for I am too new to post a URL here)
Is there anyone experienced the same and got a solution? I've tried the whole day but I just can't any suitable sappimg.zip or whatever. Could someone point me to the right direction?
Thanks so much for your time reading this post.

mt3g 1.2 root issues-won't boot

I have a mt3g with the headphone jack on top. I followed the tut on the unlockr site for rooting it and after i flashed the sappimg.zip I am stuck at the htc magic screen. I can go into fastboot and hboot. Right now, fastboot says
Sappire unknown 32a eng s-off h

I have been trying to reflash the sappimg.zip but it hangs up while unzipping the system file. I have tried to use adb but fastboot doesnt show any devices. Any help would be great. I am on day two trying to figure this dang thing out with no luck.

You already have a S-OFF SPL. I don't think you need to keep using SAPPIMG, just follow the instructions on CyanogenMod's wiki and it'll be all good (mine is 32A but I don't think you'd have much problems with 32B )

I finally got adb to recognize it in fastboot. I dont have a recovery, or at least it wont let me boot into it. I have tried to flash amon ra but it just hangs up and says failed on the command prompt. I will go check out cm wiki and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your input.

[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 ;-)
