How can I turn the security on and off on my g1 bootloader? Do I have to flash it again via terminal?
I have 1.33.0113d HBOOT for the extra ram support but the security is on so I can't use fastboot
The 1.33.0013d SPL is a perfected SPL and gives you only a few fastboot commands, i.e. fastboot erase and fastboot flash nbh. There is no possibility to turn off security.
If you really need a S-OFF SPL you have to flash orange.nbh or sappimg.nbh (G1 / Sapphire) which include an engineering SPL, do your flashing and then to reinstall everything ... Further information you can find in Ezterry's OP

Hey, I have a rogers HTC Magic 32A and it has been rooted and running Cursors 1.2.4 for a while. I don't really like the market on 1.5 and wanted to go back to cyanogen. I've followed all the steps in cyanogens wiki on upgrading from another custom ROM to his and the steps didn't work. This is the radio and SPL I'm running:
HBOOT-1.76.2007
RADIO-6.35.10.18
When I flashed Cursors ROM I had to upgrade the radio and SPL to the latest, does Cyanogens ROM not work with the latest radio? Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
no does not work with that
you need to go back to old radio and spl.... here is what you need to do.. thank cursordroid for this...
Downgrade (Revert back to) 32A 3.22 Radio and SPL
You will need:
- 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL HBOOT image

- 3.22.20.17 Radio image
http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fil...3.22.20.17.img
- Amon_RA Sapphire H Recovery (Latest is 1.5.2 as of this post)

Steps:
- Download all of the files to the same folder (C:\AndroidSDK\tools for example)
- Turn off your phone
- Power it on into FASTBOOT by holding Back and pressing Power
- In a Command Prompt, navigate to the folder you saved the files in
- Type in these commands:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img

RADIO-2.22.23.02
I flashed the 2.22.23.02 through fastboot by mistake and now I can't get into recovery mode, or flash any other radios onto the phone. The fastboot menu is the only thing I can get to on the phone.
I tried reflashing the 2.22.23.02 again but it won't go through...
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick it?
Edit: Tried sappimg.nbh via volume down and power button but i get a Model ID error. Now i can't fastboot anything over to my phone.
Edit: Flashed the sappimg.nbh, sappimg 2.16.707.3, sappimg 2.53.707.2, via gold card but I now get the error: Main Version is older!
I have answered similar questions before...
Use the search function.
But to get you started here is a quick solution.
1) flash eng spl that starts with 1.33.20XX where XX can be 05,09 or 10.
Restart into fastboot.
2) flash the right spl/radio/recovery combo.
This is confirmed to work....
Next time post ALL fastboot info... there are some info mission in your post!

I have just tried flashing hboot-1.33.2010 via fastboot.
However, I get the error message:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
do this:
----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
Unfortunately... I can't boot into recovery either, nor can i push a recovery image to the phone. I get the same error: "fastboot:remote not allow".
ok... you are very limited...
Do this:
Find a suitable sappimg.nbh... Not sappimg.zip...
Use this which i just uploaded for you:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Using your goldcard flash the sappimg.nbh in fastboot.
The sappimg.nbh does not need any unzipping... it's a complete img of the nand and overwrites everything.
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere....
is there a way to create a goldcard at this point for me?
I can't get into debug mode on the phone (for obvious reasons) and therefore can't do adb....
Find ANY android device and make a goldcard...
Then use the goldcard on your device...
wouldn't suppose anyone have the goldcard.img from their email that they could send me...
1)Download the -G magic RA recovery
2) rename it to recoveryG.img
3) run 'fastboot boot recoveryG.img' (with the phone in fastboot mode)
4) allow recovery to boot then run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push recoveryG.img /tmp/recoveryG.img
adb flash_image recovery /tmp/recoveryG.img
5) Now power down the phone
6) boot into recovery by holding home+power
10) flash 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010
Now you will have fastboot again
Most likely you will want to find and flash via fastboot radio 3.22.20.17 if you are not a Rogers/Fido customer or have signed the e911 wavier, otherwise you want 3.22.26.17..
After flashing the 3.x radio flash RA -h recovery via fastboot (and while in fastboot run 'fastboot erase system -w'); this will let you flash the ebi1 rom of choice
I just downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
renamed it so recoveryG.img.
When i try to run the command: fastboot boot recoveryG.img
I get the error message:
downloading 'boot.img'...FAILED (remote: not allow)
Then its best to just install the official e911 ruu from rogers and re-root
I have tried that, but it doesn't work...

Yes, I'm also not sure why people are ignoring that fact that you can't use fastboot either :-S
My bad, using my phone and completely missed the first page.
EDIT: I think mum was on the right track. Your going to need a goldcard. No one will be able to send you their .img because its SD card specific. You don't know anyone with a Android based phone?

Looks like i'm getting progress....?
I have a gold card now thanks to my friend, however...
when I try to flash the SAPPIMG.nbh I get a Main Version is older!
I also tried the 2.53.707.2 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
I also just tried 2.16.707.3 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
YOU ARE STILL MAKING THE GOLDCARD THE WRONG WAY...
You should not get that error msg...
Try to remake the goldcard.
Did it on two different SD cards, the same way I did it before to get my phone off perfected SPL... not sure what I could've done to do it wrong this time around.....
a mmc CID can't change right?
followed this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
I tried to update my SPL to the latest now I cant boot in to my system but I can get in Fastboot and Recovery.
The info I had before was:
MyTouch 3g v1.2
HBOOT-1.33.0013
Radio- 2.22.23.02
Mod- CM6.0
Also HBOOT says Sapphire Unkown 32b ENG S-OFF
I flashed the 2010 SPL from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
I think I need a new radio but cant seem to find one.
What should I do now to get back into my phone.
So you flashed the engineering SPL, now you've got to flash the new radio and also flash a new/the stock SPL. Do you still have access to recovery? If so, download this, put it in the Tools folder of AndroidSDK, then fastboot flash it to the phone. Download this, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, and flash it. That will get you back to the stock SPL with the 2825 radio.
Can you update the fastboot info?
Just to make sure that the flash did succeed!

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING I WRITE.
The problem is: the device has conflicting spl and radio combo. The spl has an idea of where the radio should be and how big it is ect. When they are not matching the flash of a new radio will most likely fail.
To fix this problem, we need to flash a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio.
But the problem lies in the following. All the RUU/sappimg with a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio has a higher version than yours(starts with 3 something). If we update the version, we cannot flash the desired sappimg which follows. The goldcard will only update up in verion nr, NOT down.
Here comes the trick: I have found a special rom, which is part of a 2-part update which will not update your version nr...
Once the spl is updated and the system restarted, we can now flash any ruu we want using the goldcard. I recommend to flash one with a eng spl inbuilt like the 2.53.707.2 sappimg. But if the device would not accept that sappimg(don't ask me why), try the 2.10.531.4.zip which is the same version nr as you have now.
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
4) Once the device has rebooted, you should rename the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard. This image should give you an eng spl. If you device will not accept it, then rename the other rom to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard.
5) If you indeed get the eng spl, then you have full control and we can do almost anything we want. Just post here and we can take it from there. The eng spl has the following nr: 1.33.2010.
If you flashed the stock rom, then you only need to flash custom recovery and you should almost be there... also here post the progress and we will take it from there.
Hope that you will succeed... :0)
I am having this same problem!!! I can't flash any of these and I am stuck in Ruu mode.

I can't get past updating the radio it hangs and will not continue. Is there any help you can offer me?
Don't necropost... You already posted your problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359940
If you will post your question in whole forum and all topics - i don't want to help you...
----------
Simple... change the version nr to what ever you want.... like 1.00.000.1
Then flash this file using a goldcard... it will give you eng spl and the old radio/spl combo.
https://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
Or we could fix your sdcard problem if you provide more info.
Or we can do A LOT of linux commands to redirect your sdcard path to something else and flash eng spl from there...
----------
I can give you eng spl + stock image of anything you want... (.img files)
Flashing a rom (zip file) without sdcard can not be done afaik.
You could use path redirection or mounting a different partition as sdcard but you don't have any partition big enough to hold the rom file (bigger than 100 mb). You could use data or system, but then again, the rom will most likely overwrite it.. so sdcard is necessary :0|
Start by running these commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar version-main
hi i do have a small problem, i don't have a goldcard and the phone does not boot nor can i enter recovery! additionally i have a perfected spl so no fastboot commands. i'd like to go to old spl 1.33.2010 and radio 3.22... after i typed in the commands from your last post i got the following: ./fastboot-mac getvar cid
cid: HTC__140A ?
and
./fastboot-mac getvar version-main version-main: 2.16.401.5.
Can you help me going to the spl eng. 1.33.2010 or 1.33.2009 and radio 3.22 by providing a sappimg.zip that does not need a goldcard??
many thanks

The goldcard hack is bound to the goldcard and not the device.
So, yes!
You can make a goldcard on ANY android device and it will work on ANY android device
