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

Hi,
RE: Vodafone Magic 32B
I was attempting to install Cyanogen ROM last night and (long story short) ran into a few problems.
I am now in a position where I can boot (but not flash) a recovery image via fastboot. My SD card appears to be corrupt since I can't format it via the recovery menu, and the adb process is confusing me.
I have two basic questions:
1. Can I format the SD card without an SD card reader in my laptop?
2. Can I send a new ROM to the SD card via adb/fastboot?
I believe the answer to both is "yes", but I am having seemingly random issues... for example I cannot restore my Nandroid backup via fastboot (either manually or via GUI); the same goes for a "stock" Nandroid backup I downloaded.
At the moment my phone hangs on the UK Vodafone screen and nothing else (other than fastboot via vol. down+power), and I really need to get it working ASAP.
Thanks for your help.
not sure if this will help
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/NANDROID_Fastboot
sitimber: I followed a very similar guide to that, however the Nandroid backup flashes fail (something about "remote signature verify fail")
do you have anything that u can put the sd card into like another phone or ???
and connect it to the pc to format
No, I'd previously stuck with Sony Ericsson handsets (Memory Stick Micro), and have no way to get the SD Micro card into the laptop. I'd buy an adaptor, but no stores seem to have them and I'd rather not wait for delivery from an online store.
asda tesco all sell minisd memory card adaptors for about fiver
if you get the adapter and you have anything that takes sd card like camera tomtom ect
connect and format
Thanks for your response, I will take a look in Asda and a couple of other places tomorrow.
I don't have anything which uses a micro SD card - is using a PC to format it in FAT32 enough?
Once I do that, it should just be a case of putting (e.g.) Cyanogen ROM on there and installing via the recovery screen?
Does the ROM image have to be named "update.zip" because I am wondering if that is what went wrong last time...
Hi, the problem you are having luke its your spl. You have to flash to a new spl

The default is HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10 (Voldafone NL + UK + Australia)
It says this on my fastboot screen as well (1.33.0004).
I have read about SPL previously, but the instructions I followed to root/flash the phone didn't mention it... hence I don't think I have used an engineered SPL unless it was via another name.
When I rooted, I basically installed the app which allows you to flash a new recovery image (Cyanogen 1.4) and then proceded to back up with Nandroid which I later transferred to my PC. I then tried to flash the Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 (?) ROM at which point it failed.
Since that point I have gone through so many things, I doubt what I did originally makes any difference.
Yes, but i read in a thred that there were 3 guys with the same error that you have. They flashed to another spl and got back working.

Great link, thanks.
How do I know which SPL to flash? I have read most of the thread, but I can't see where it says how you decide which to use.
EDIT: If I get an SD card reader, and put a new ROM on it; can I flash that ROM from the fastbooted recovery screen instead of using the Nandroid backups (and hence avoid flashing a new SPL?)

I suggest you tu use an enginereed spl, the version you´ll have to chose, but many people are flashing the Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2005 version, to flash another roms.
The function of the SPL its to boot you phone and this spl will turn off the signature check.
Yes if you get an SD card reader. But go to the wikipedia written by radix999. Its very helpful.
This is the link of the wiki im talking about:

So i hope this is the right place to ask. I updated the radio to 6.xx and the spl to 1.33.0013 and now i cant boot my custom rom or access the recovery screen, but i can access fastboot. Ive tryed flashing a new radio, recovery etc from the sdk cmd promt and no luck, keeps saying remote: not allow. IS there anything i can do from the fastboot to get my phone back. Sorry if this is realy noobish. Ive searched for 3 days and i've had no luck. PLEASE HELP ME

You are ok untill now..You have not bricked your phone....you can still recover it using fast boot or recovery...
serach for the correct topic on this fourm...you will surely get info
Ive tryed everything in fastboot and i cant get into recovery. If i could i would have fixed it by now
Tried Goldcard method as well?
I cant do a goldcard again. I cant access the operating system. I cant access the recovery screen. Al i can do is access fastboot. And from there i just get remote: not allow when i try to modify things. I just need a BIG reset button on this phone. Im hitting my head so hard against the wall trying to figure this out. I try to read up but everywhere you go its something different and its all soooooooo confusing. No one makes nay sense
If this is a bad place to ask this, please tell me. My head hurts and im very frustrated because i followed someones write up step by step and i got screwed over. I know it can be fixed!
OK dude, just breathe. By looking at your SPL you've got the myTouch 1.2 (the one with the 3.5mm jack) so you've got o use the goldcard method which is done through hboot and fastboot, if you can get one you can get the other. Let me get to a computer and we'll fix your problem. In the mean time post back and let me know your still here.

You need to fastboot an engineering spl first.
I believe 1.33.2010 should do it.
Flash back to the operator's ROM and start all over again; safest approach if you are having a difficult time understanding how to troublshoot your problem.
I try to load a new sippimg.img ( from my understanding that a new spl) And everytime i load it, it says model id wrong and fails to load.
And in fast boot i cant load anything new cause i get the remote: not allow.
How am i suppose to create a gold card another gold card without having access to the phones main operating system?
I just went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 and followed that and wasnt able to load the recovery image cause because remote: not allow. So im stuck

I cant create a new gold card, i cant access the phone I created one before but it still gives me a the wrong mode ID code. And i cant do adb because i cant turn on USB debugging since i cant access the phone.
I followed the steps in the link. I loaded the sappimg.img and it loaded it but didnt ask to confirm the install, but it did show a loading bar and when it was completed it never said anything about restarting or anything. It just detected it, loaded it and then nothing. So after that i tryed to load the spl, radio and recovery and it still gave me remote: not allow.
It seems my gold card somehow undid its self. I need to figure out how to make one without being able to access the actual phone options. I realy do appreciate you guys helping!!!! If this gets fixed ill kiss all of you. JK!
How long have you had your phone?
3 days But i didnt buy through t-mobile, so no warranty for me
The only other option I can think of is to see if a friend with the same phone can let you borrow his. Luckily the stuff you need to do isn't phone specific, it's only specific to the SD card, so you can remake it with another phone and then use it to finish your's.
I believe the CID that you get (that ridiculously long number you have to copy) is specific to the SD card. I just swapped the goldcard I made for my phone into my wife's and the CID remained the same. Just not sure if using a different model phone will work.
You don't happen to have the CID still do you?

I still have all the emails for when i originally made a gold card and the goldcard.img.
You can try doing the steps in Hex Editor, where you copy the lines from the goldcard image over to your SD card again. Then try flashing the sappimg again and see what you get.
On it! :cross fingers:
I did all the Hex editor stuff. And i still get Wong model ID when i try to install a new sappimg.img. I tried several times and double checked the hex editor.

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.
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:

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.

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.
