Accidental Flash of 32A Radio to 32B

Hi, trawling though the forum in hope for getting a 2.1 Sense ROM working on my phone (which i have been attempting for the last 48hrs) i came across a post that has wrong information on it, which i didn't notice till it was too late.
the phone is now showing as a Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H with radio 6.35.10.18
rest is same as before
before it was
Phone is 32B UK Vodafone
Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (Sapphire)
CPLD-10
Radio-3.22.20.17
It will not load into recovery but does allow me to get to fastboot and HBoot, the problem is it will not extract Hboot files (saphh.nbg or what ever its called)
IMO all i need is a 32B Radio img to flash with Fastboot as i did before, any ideas???
Ash

So is this bricked now???

Do you have debug mode on your phone? if so you may be able to recover using android SDK.
I know of ppl and posts suggesting it is possible to put a 32A rom on a 32B with some performance losses.
take a look at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133

Some reason my Goldcard became normal and will no longer work when i Hex edit the card, its a Kingston 2Gb, any ideas??
when it was working i couldnt get it to flash anything, kept getting verification errors when i tried to flash anything to the phone.
so basically i think its completely dead,
am open to ideas how to brick the phone more so to make the ROM unreadable so i can get it replaced

if there arent any performance problems then dont worry, you can "push" or "fastboot" your radio, do a search for "radio installation" and u will find what u need

Not sure if this has been answered, but I thought I'd help. Put the 32B radio image in the "AndroidSDK" directory on your computer. Start phone is Fastboot, then connect via USB. In command prompt, confirm device is ready with "fastboot devices", if you see your device listed you are good to go. Then type "fastboot erase radio". Once completed, type "fastboot flash radio XXXXX.img" (Where XXXXX is the name of the radio image, for example: "radio.img") for the radio image, go to developer.htc.com/adp.html . Find the "Android 1.6" "Radio Image" "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip", Extract the "radio.img" from that zip file. Let me know if that helps. I'll check up later if you need further instruction.

I have done this and I get Failed (remote: signaure verify fail) when applying the radio.img.
I have downloaded it from HTC image like 10 times and each time i get the same thing. Thoguths?

Hi, finally back to trying to get the phone working again, have bene using an old phone and some reason my emails from this site was being blocked and didn't get anything saying i had new posts (be it from some time ago)
I have tried everything,
i am getting the same responce from fastboot
C:\android\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (21504 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
i have also tried many different micro SD cards and cant get any of them to work as gold cards, they just ask to be formatted all the time by the computer
so any ideas?

i have managed to create a working goldcard (after purchasing my 5th sdcard) but i get "Main Version is older" when i try and flash any ROM onto it.
still looking for a fix any ideas?

i have just noticed the phone is now showing

can anyone help?
have now spent about the last 2 weeks trying to sort this, googled everything i can think to / find on the forum and still no avail

1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Perhaps?

doesnt work just freezes on load and tried both H and G versions

Bump?...i'm stuck on the same problem :/

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?

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.....

Not bricked but not working

My friend handed me their MyTouch 2.1 to fix and I don't know what to do with this one.
When I gave them the phone it had SPL 1.33.2010 and the old 3.22 radio. They were on Cyanogen 6.
He wanted to put Gingerbread on the phone so he upgraded the radio to 6.35.10.18 however recovery went missing. He could flash different recoveries from fastboot but it wouldn't boot in to recovery. It just hung at the green MyTouch screen.
He tried downgrading the radio thinking that would fix the issue with recovery not working. It didn't. As a last resort he flashed the Saphire.nbh. That restored his radio and hboot to a lower version however there still is no recovery installed on the phone and now there is no access to flash via fastboot.

If you can access fastboot you should be ok.
Download a copy of clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 or amon-ra recovery
Make sure you have android sdk on your computer and a copy of fastboot installed in the tools directory on your computer. Copy the recovery into your tools folder on your computer and rename it recovery.img
Boot the phone into fastboot and connect it to the computer.
Open a terminal on your computer and run "fastboot devices" and make sure it sees the phone, you should get something back like HXXXXXXXX
Then just flash it over.
If I remember correctly the command is
fastboot flash recovery /android-sdk/tools/recovery.img
(that is assuming your android-sdk is in a directory called android-sdk and the recovery.img file is in tools)
fastboot reboot
That will get recover back on the phone. From there with either clockwork or amon_ra you should be able to reflash a rom

Yeah that's not going to work.
@ the OP, since you have a perfected SPL you'll need to create a goldcard and flash an engineering SPL to the phone with it. Then you can do the steps from above. Secondly, since you have the 6.35 radio you'll have to flash Amon Ra's recovery for the Hero, version 1.6.2.

Thanks DonJuan692006. I went hunting for the goldcard I used to originally root his phone. I was able to get the original sappimg.nbh installed on the phone. Fortunately for me it was still on the card.

Now that the phone is functional I can fix it for him. Thanks for the help everyone.

Looks like the I have no access to the SD Card now in the rom. It says Removed SD Card. I've tried 5 different cards 1GB-16GB and it doesn't see any of them.
Interestingly it says "recovery can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0" when I try and flash an update.zip from recovery. This it turning out to be very frustrating.

Ah, very easy to fix. You need to get fastboot installed on your computer and verify that it can see the phone (plug the USB cable in after booting into fastboot) by issuing the following command from the folder with fastboot in it:
Code:
fastboot devices
Let me know when you get there and what the results are.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

After you issue the fastboot devices command, you should get your phone's serial number back indicating that your computer and phone are talking. Then you need to download this recovery and this hboot. Copy both those files over to the folder that has "fastboot.exe". Back at the command prompt issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
That should reboot the phone back into the bootloader and you should now have the 1.33.0013d SPL. You can then boot the phone into recovery mode and flash Yoshi.

I installed fastboot and was able to see my device.

But was unable to flash the 2 files.

That's because your nandroid probably isn't cool with the SPL. Did you copy the files to the same folder fastboot is in?

Yes fastboot is in C:\android and the files are in the same directory.

No. Download them and put them in the folder again. If you have the newest version of SDK the folder should be \AndroidSDK\tools.

It worked. I download a new version and was able to replace the SPL file. Thank you!

I was able to flash ginger yoshi but now only has H connection instead of 3G?
There were these errors when flashing in recovery mode:
E: Missing bitmap progress_empty (Code-1)
E: Missing bitmap progress_fill (Code-1)
choice: error fixed, please ignore
Does these errors have anything to do with why I no longer have 3G?

H stands for HSDPA which is enhanced 3g. Ginger Yoshi ditinguishes between regular 3g and HSDPA. So it's a good thing you have H instead of 3g. For more detais you could google HSDPA.

I was just reading out that on Google. Thanks for the quick reply. Do I need to worry about the missing bitmap error?

Nope because "choice: error fixed, please ignore"

Possibly bricked?

So, I've got a MT3G that is apparently bricked. My buddy tried flashing a CM6 ROM and didn't root it properly - I'm assuming anyway since it's still S-ON. It powers up, gets to the CM Andy on a skateboard and gets stuck in a loop there.
I can get into SPL but that's it. I've attempted to erase the recovery and flash a new one with no luck. I can get it recognized via ADB with [ fastboot devices ], but I'm not sure that helps me much.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't mind the work, just need to find a way to get it past this point. If I can somehow manage to get it rooted from here, then flash a recovery so I can a ROM, that'd be awesome. Here's everything from the SPL screen:

Hi!
You're not recognized via ADB if you type [ fastboot devices ] and it gives you your phones S/N. You can be at FASTBOOT, HBOOT or RUU. To be recognized in ADB you have to boot in to RECOVERY or in to SYSTEM.
If you have working HBOOT (can boot to HBOOT with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER), I suggest you to make a goldcard, download a stock rom for your MT3G (In FASTBOOT you can type [ fastboot getvar cid ], and the first 8 digits will tell you your phones CID number.). Extract the downloaded RUU and find the rom.zip (rom.nbh) file. Rename it to SAPPIMG.zip (SAPPIMG.nbh) and put it in the root of your goldcard.
Start up your phone with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER.
If you get error about "Model ID" then your MicroSD is not a goldcard and you downloaded a "wrong" RUU ("Wrong" RUU (Phones CID not correct) can be good, if it is for MT3G like you have. Only you must create a working goldcard.).
If you get error "Main Version is older" then try to find newer RUU.
I hope, I helped you...
And then make the rooting with more care
