Problem with Magic (Vodaphone - Australia)

Hi,
I was really exited to get a new HTC magic. I have read a lot about how flexible this phones are and I decided to get one 1 month ago. However my phone runs very slowly and I can't send or receive MMS messages.
I have read about rooting/flashing in the forums here and other website but it seems so confusing.
I tried to follow the steps:
<wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod>
<unlocker>
Really what I'm looking for is an idiot proof guide (easy to follow step by step) on how to root my phone using a Mac.
This are the details of my phone:
SAPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.1926I
Apr 9 2009,23:30:40
Another problem I have is I can mount the SD car on my Mac but I can't see my applications/SMS/contacts etc... I can only see few photos and MP3 that came default with the phone. Is there anyway I can have access to my applications files???
Please help me! I don't what to do and I'm getting really frustrated.
Thanks in advance for your help. Someone out there help me!

I've manage to root!
Well I managed to root my phone and flash a new recovery image following this method <youtube.com/watch?v=Ks57t-d3M5s> -- Sorry I'm new and I can't post links aarrggghhh!
Now I have installed a CyanogenMod V1.4 + JF recovery and I'm wondering how can I update my current recovery to the latest version of Amon_RA which I believe is recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img??? for my 32B motherboard.
Funny thing is I only get 3 screens instead of 5, don't know why but I want to update asap!
I tried to change the name of the file recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img to update.zip and use the following command:
[Alt + S] apply sdcard:update.zip but got the following error: "E: No signature (3files) E: Verification Failed Installation aborted.
Then i decided to try:
[Alt + A] apply any zip from SD and got the same error as mention above.
I really don't know what I am doing wrong, can any one help me pls???

Signature Incorrect: Update Failed

Hey guys, I used to have root access, and was having some problems flashing any rom to my phone, so I decided to unroot my phone and start from scratch. I follower The Unlockr's guide to unrooting my phone. at this point I am unable to flash the proper Sappimg nbh / .zip to my phone. I get the error message. I have followed several tutorials no rooting and unrooting my phone, and I never remembered rooting being this difficult the first time I had to downgrade from 1.6. I have used my gold card, and as far as I can see the goldcard was created correctly. There isn't any kind of Sappimg that I can find that is signed or that I can use to get myself back on the right track. In the long run I want to be using Engineer SPL and Amon Ra's most recent recovery image. Also with my 32B board do I need to use the H or G recovery image from Amon Ra? If I try to fastboot a recovery image I get the error message that I cannot use remote. I've tried the Perfected SPL fix, and when I try to apply the SAPPIMG.zip, my phone displays "Model ID: incorrect" Can anyone help me out on this one?
*Side note on the Goldcard
Is my reversed CID supposed to be a HEX reverse or a string reverse?
and when I finish writing the goldcard image, is the lost.dir supposed to be on the memory card?
"Signature Incorrect
Update: Failed"
Here's all the current information on my phone:

I may have skimmed over some of the details of my whole process, if you need anymore information feel free to PM me and I will respond and edit post.

Did you use Cyanogen Wiki manual to downgrade?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...rom_1.6_TO_1.5__and_Rooting_for_T-Mobile_MT3G

Main Version is older
Went to the Wiki, and I wish I had found that one first so I wouldn't be in this mess But I will remember that page in the future so I can unroot my device with ease. When I try to apply that sappimg, I get the error message:
"Main Version is older!
Update Failed"
Any trick updates that will work for me to root this one? When I try Amon Ra's Perfected SPL trick, I cannot apply any of those updates unless I am trying to do it wrong.
Thank you in advance for helping me get this solved, I cannot tell you just how badly I may have screwed my device. I do have a working device for now, so no worries on unbricking a phone.

Bump
Has anyone found any solutions yet?

Go to IRC and ask for help.

SPL
I noticed that the stock SPL on the fender edition was 1.33.0013 SAPP 31000 and mine is SAPP 30000, should I try using unrooting methods for the fender editions?

hope u can solve it earlier

Mod. edit: not rom dev related, moved to general

Tried the MT3G fender rooting process and no love with it. Hboot finds the update and the blue bar comes up for a while and then continues searching for update images. Anyone who knows a little more on the subject of the Hboot information please look at my information and see if something is incorrect for an original MT3G that was supposed to be unrooted.

bump, Anyone have any more help?

Try this out.

[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:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP3000)

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.

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.

[Q] Desire Z with 2.42.405.2 Able to downgrade? ( i'm able to temproot )

Hi all
I have a European HTC Desire Z with this info:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Build 2.42.495.2
Vision PVT Ship S-ON
Hboot-0.85.0013
MicroP-0425
Radio 26.10.04.03_M

I am able to temproot this phone with the method provided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15851661&postcount=1
using the code:
Code:
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
However the downgrading part fails on me.
After entering the bootloader menu is scans the SDCARD and finds the PC10IMG.zip
telling me: loading...[PC10IMG.zip], after that it's saying: Checking..[PC10IMG.zip].
After checking it just goes back to the Menu without asking me to update etc.
I did however changed the misc_version and followed the guide precisely.
I searched and found some Threads saying this version isn't rootable yet. though they were couple months old, and I am able to get temp root. it should be do-able right?
Can someone please confirm this and tell me how to, or what i'm doing wrong and let this baby free.

Did you double check that you downloaded the correct system image and that it is named correctly?
I think you're likely to get better help if you post your questions in the downgrading thread that you linked to

[Q] my touch won't boot

it won't boot, only tmobile mytouch 4g logo freezed, if i enter hboot and try to factory reset it freezes, just that, found and tried PD15IMG sd card, with msg too old....
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed

so is there any stock or newer than 26.13.04.19_M, so i can flash it to stock, or how to downgrade, if there is no root or temp and it doesn't boot, or i have to use jtag?
thank you very much indeed

No root, doesn't boot to the point where you can connect through ADB and temp-root (or ADB turned off), stock, S-ON and on latest OS build already - I'm afraid you have nothing to do.

hi
thank you very much indeed for your attention
i believe that i can conect it as adb if i put it in hboot, but how to temp root if i read, that the version is not rootable only after downgrade, maybe edit to downgrade?
hopefully, im trying to help a friend with this phone, and i dont want to try jtag only as the last option

ADB only works in the OS. Since you can't boot the OS even to initial stages, ADB won't work.
You can connect fastboot in bootloader, not ADB. But fastboot won't allow you anything before you're S-OFF and have engineering bootloader flashed. There is no operation to S-OFF the phone from bootloader, you need OS for that. And again, you don't have OS - you can't boot.
Which leaves you with nothing to do.

well
so it seems that either or i get the newest ruu or zip, with the same or newer rom, or the real chance, is that i should use jtag to fix it, i have 2 samsung ace, 1 hd2, and maybe after those ill try to solder this one to fix the boot, i was hopping to avoid this but not a chance, i have the tools and some experience, so lets do it
but thank you very much indeed for your time and help

I download a file from another site since I'm having the same exact problem. I was using darkside rom perfectly and i left my phone changing the screen that was broken. Then when i pick up my phone today i saw the same thing that you post. As I said, i download a PD15IMG gingerbread and ask me if i want to update and i say yes....but i dont know how long it will take since im doing that right now....and i think it just froze lol....
