[Q] bricked phone i think i have exhausted all options - myTouch 3G, Magic General

i have a mytouch 3g. belives its the fender edition but white from what i have been reading.. i got it this way from my friend, ive tried the gold card option, though i dont have this phones cid i used my buddys from another mytouch 3g. it still says model id incorrect when i try to flash sappimg, ive tried switching it from .zip to .nbh which i have been reading sometimes you dont have to have the goldcard. ive tried all different kinds of sappimg's nothing works. it either says model id incorrect or something about it being to old firmware wise. i can get into fastboot and hboot so its not a total loss yet i dont think. when i turn the phone on regular it stays on the vodafone slash screen. and i have also read that it should be because he flashed the wrong radio, firmware that wasnt compatible? ive tried just flashing a recovery but wont let me. keeps trying to flash sappimg even if not present. i have 2 sd cards one is a sandisc and the other is pny could that be the issue, do i still need the kingston even though they both still read after the gold card process. i am at a complete loss if someone could please shoot me in the right direction that would be great.
this is what it says on the hboot/fastboot screen:
sapphire unknown 32A ship s-on h
hboot-1.33.0009 (sapp31000)
cpld-13
radio-3.22.20.17
may 8 2009, 21:02:32

All the symptoms indicates a faulty goldcard or wrongly preparation of the same.
Let's start with the basic....
You do not have the optimal radio for your device.
You have "cpld-13" which is a hybrid between the 32A and 32B. You have the ram from the 32A but use a 32B radio.
The radio you have is for the pure 32A devices.
To fix that, you need to flash "something" using the goldcard. Why?
Because the spl you currently running on the device is "perfected; with other words, it will NOT allow you to flash anything... that's why you get denied every time you try to flash.
The goldcard will circumvent this by letting you flash any signed update package (sappimg.zip/nbh) which matches the current version of the firmware or anything higher. The good thing about the goldcard, is that it will bypass the id check. This way you can flash packages meant for a different device, which properly is the cause to why you have a mismatched radio/spl combo. If you get an error regarding the version nr, you are properly trying to flash something which has a lower version than what is already running on the device.
Referring to your statements from the OP, the "model id is incorrect" indicates that you have a faulty goldcard, because the essence of such a card is to circumvent that issue.
Changing from zip to nbh or the other way around will not help because the problem is in the foundation(the goldcard) or in the execution(the preparation). This also indicates the following:
1) You are working in the blind (flashing god knows what - NOT RECOMMENDED)
2) You are desperate
3) Lacking basic knowledge about problem at hand.
All not very wise when dealing with "exhaustion" of all possibilities(as mentioned in the title), because the problem-definition is based on merely speculations.
Enough with the "wise ass" lectures... let's do something constructive.
Start by issuing the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
The above will determine which version the device is running. Based on that, we can find the appropriate sappimg for you to flash.
The second thing you can do, is to take a look at the first 5-7 sticky threads. There are a lot of useful information. Also a thread handling specifically your device.
Post the result of the above command and we can take it from there..
Good luck

i type the code and it just sits their waiting for the device???

ok i reinstalled the sdk bundle and got it to work...
version-main 2.53.707.2

OK.... follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
It's located within the first 8 threads of the general section.
A working goldcard is a MUST.
But it should fix your problem completely :0)

cool thanks is there a way to get my cid threw fastboot? or what would be the best way like i said i have the pny and sandisc mircro cards i can go threw making. ive done it like a million times with no success. or could it just be the cards should i just get a kingston card and try it again? i have a cid from a friends phone but maybe its a bad number or something. not sure..

You can use any android device to get the cid of the sdcard.
Fastboot is not possible to use.
You must remember, that the cid you get is on valid for the sdcard you read it from. You cannot interchange cid to another sdcard.

Rogers HTC Dream Error 0002802 not allowed

Hi Just got a Rogers Dream from a friend in the following tree color state:

1) I tried safely to install Rogers rom for the htc dream but PC does not detect my USB port failing with error 170.
2) Read Forum for 2 hours, and tried stock firmware, made sure SD card formatted FAT32, DREAIMG.nbh and update.zip it did boot, loading... and error 0002802 not allowed showed.
Can someone point me to the right direction for the next steps?
What kind of more information can I provide? And how to get it? Thx
what are you trying to achieve? That dream is running the 1x radio with a stock T-Mobile spl, thus ought to be used like a T-Mobile g1,
You could run a true rogers nbh via SD card.. but this is probably not going yo give you the phone you wish to use.
Tell me the end state you want to be in we can help you get there.
My goal was to use the damn phone, after 12 hours of struggling I was able to install Haykuro Rogers dream, after that I want to SPL 1.33.2005, Rooted my phone and I installed cm-5.0.7-DS-test5 Rom.
All is fine now thanks for the response.
Ive got exactly the same issue, formatted SD to FAT32 and copied DREAIMG.nbh (RC7) to it. I get the not allowed error and then drop to the multi colored screen with:

I am trying to follow the instructions on the cyanogen wiki to install Cyanogen 5.0.7 on a stock Dream purchased in Australia.
Any pointers will be appreciated, I have tried to reformat, different SD cards without any success.

Because the nbh is for T-Mobile in the states.. thus fails the carrier checks elsewhere in the world.
To get around these checks a goldcard is needed.
But before looking into that.. make sure you can't root by flashreq first. (I can't say I've used the Australian rom so I'm not really sure of your phones state.. the gold card will let you flash that nbh.. but if you can install recovery by flashreq that is safer)
It's usually best to search for people who have rooted the same stock rom as is installed on the phone.
i have a tmobile g1 its giving me the same error code"0002802" when i try to flash the DREAIMG.nbh file from bootloader. so i cant downgrade to rc29. i want to root the phone.any solution?

With both a potential solution:
Did you try a goldcard yet? what was the result?​
And a question to help understand why:
Did you answer my question last time of when your phone was jtagged was it with my solution in the wiki or Omnia's solution?​
Okay I have the same problems as the op and I have the same radio, spl everything is exactly the same. The phone cannot boot into recovery whenever it starts it goes directly to bootloader. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Not even downgrading
Hello guys,
I tried already one goldcard, made all the procudures to get one and also didnt work, with the gold card says that no IMG not found, with the DREAIMG from USA and EU says that is 'not allow'. I tried as well the DREAIMG.nbh from USA and EU. I bought my phone in Holland, and his configuration is:
DREa110 PVT 32B

If you can help me another way out. I'ven been try and I am stucked on this for 3 days.
0002802
strange, in my case I got a phone which I did not know if it was from Europe or the US. I just happened to get the "0002802" error when using what I assume to have been the wrong firmware (European in my case) as when I tried the US version everything worked fine.
Though for the Rogers phone the whole process seem slightly more complicated (check the Cyanogmode wiki for it under Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1 -- sorry Im new here and I cant post a link =D)

How to root htc magic from ROGERS 32A

IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE DONT BLAME ME THIS IS SORT OF A RISK SO PLEASE READ THE WHOLE GUIDE AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU START
one word.... GOLDCARD
Thats what you need to root the htc magic from rogers and let me tell you personally F*CK ROGERS they make it so hard so im going to save you a bunch of time
use this to create the gold card

Code:
for step 8

adb push update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip /sdcard/
just do whats in red
so now that its rooted you need another sd card with your rom
since i have the same phone ill suggest this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654284
it works on the rogers phone and its fast
you will also need to flash this radio
Code:
[url]http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fileshare/Sapphire-32A-Updates/?download=update-radio-32A-6.35.10.18-signed.zip[/url]
also you might lose your 3G because rogers is a pain in the ass, your going to need to contact them and you will need them to network reset your phone.
they will probably ask you for your build number you need to tell them build 3.05.631.7 then after a while of them asking question say you found on the internet that your suppose to do a network reset but cant find the place to do it on your phone, (thats because you cant) and then they usually will do it for you, then reset your phone and your 3g will be back!
all that is only if you lose the 3g
if there is anything wrong with this little guide please tell me.
i take no credit for any of the info here its just ive put all the stuff you need in one location.
Hope it helps
Your link for rooting the htc magic is broken.
I'm new to this and i don't know the difference between the two 'radios' but will this method i've linked to allow me to use the 'newer' radio that i won't have to sign any sort of waver for?
I'll be using the phone with Fido.

So basically, there's no way AT ALL to do this without a goldcard?
Not if you have a perfected SPL, which you do if you took rogers 911 update. and if you have a magic +. Anways its not hard to make one if you follow the steps.
I've tried everthing and it fails every time, i have searched and cant find the answer.

I can't seem to get a proper goldcard created. I've followed the guide right up until the end:
Take out the memory card from the computer, then put it back in.
Try to open the memory card on the computer (Removable Disk), if it lets you, you are all set. If it asks/tells you to reformat the card, then try steps 13 - 19 again

I've tried it multiple times using an 8 GB Kingmax, also a 2 GB SanDisk... everytime I place it back in my PC to try to "open the memory card on the computer" it just tells me it needs to be formatted. What SHOULD it look like when it opens properly... will the goldcard contain visible files?
I haven't tried placing it in my phone as I really don't feel like it has worked properly yet...
I guess I'll try picking up a Kingston card this afternoon and see if I have any luck with that.

Bricked mytouch 3g possibly!!

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.

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
Try using this.

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.

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.

Hi all,
I accidentally flash a orange-...nbh for G1 to restore a MT3G t-mobile 32B. (BAD BAD ACCIDENT!!!)

You need a matching spl/radio before you can flash anything new...
Could you explain to me how can I match the SPL/Radio. Probably with a special nbh file?
When I try to flash sappimg.nbh it freezes on radio update.

There is no reason I know of why the radio won't flash that isn't due to something more serious.. To the best of my knowledge the few other people that flashed the Orange Dream NBH on a sapphire where able to get into the 1.42.2000 S=OFF SPL and use fastboot flash radio to return to 2708+ radios..
Of course since now you have 1.33.0006 I'm not sure the best way to proceed. (particularly since I don't own the device, and it may be confused with the radio version)
If you can't boot the device and all you have is a S=ON SPL (other than 1.33.0013d) all you can do is flash SAPPIMG.nbh and SAPPIMG.zip files.. preferably find one with an S=OFF SPL or that makes the system boot.. A goldcard will help if the image is from another region (ie not T-Mobile US)
The problem is the mismatching between the radio and spl.
If the offsets are not correct, every radio flash will fail due boundary error.
This problem has been seen on many magic devices with old spl together with new radio and the opposite. I always recommend to fix it by flash the matching spl and then change the entire layout. That approach has been successful every time.
So, to start with the radio - it's for the dream device. According to your thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 the version nr which the OP has posted should have given him an eng spl, namely the 1.42.2000.
My suggestion would be to reflash the nbh image from the link(orange-1.58.73.2.nbh ) and hope for it to flash spl first. Spl typically have the same size so the offsets will be the same allowing it to complete.
Once he has eng spl, he could flash the right spl/radio/recovery combo and should be good to go.
I try to flash the orange-1.58.73.2.nbh and I got a "Model ID Incorrect" error on verifying signature. I guess my way out is using a goldcard but my phone is useless right now. I looking toward to create one using my PC or a friend's phone.
Any suggestions? Thank you so much guys to help me bring back my phone from the graveyard...
Well... the goldcard is a MUST have. Without it you cannot flash the nbh image.
I'm trying to research how to create a goldcard without the phone but I did not get a procedure to do it... Do you know if I can use any other Android phone regardless the model and the carrier? some said CID numbers relies only on the SDcard you are using and the phone and carrier did no matter at all, but if that is true, why you can't use a program to get it from your sdcard reader? it seems like the only medium to get the number is through an Android phone...
Either way I will try using other android phone from a different carrier... for now is the only choice I got... I will keep you posted with my results...

You can .. if your computers sdcard reader exposes the CID to software.
Unfortunately most USB readers do not expose this value. (some older non USB versions have been known to)
Most HTC phones (and other embedded devices) on the other hand use a more direct interface to the sdcard and can get the value on both android and HTC.
FYI: even with the SDCard I think you will get that error on the oragne NBH.. (I don't think we can get around that one on a s=on SPL) it says that the rom is not for the sapphire.. if it works it is your best bet but I don't think it will.
It's kinda must... referring to how did it happen in the first place!
Hi all,
I created 2 goldcards (after the process I could copy the SAPPIMG.nbh to the SDCard from my PC without any problem), but still I get the Model ID Incorrect when I tried to flash it.
My question will be if you believe there is a problem with the goldcards or definitely as ezterry suggest is a problem beyond the goldcard issue...
Thanks again for all your help...
Goldcard issue :0)
Tomorrow I will buy a new microsd... Kingstone 2GB is what everyone recommends for the job... I will keep you posted with the results...
Hi all, sorry for the delay on the response but I have to order my memory online because I was tired to search it on local store without any luck.
Yesterday I got my new Kingston 2GB memory card, I made it a gold card, put the orange-1.58.7.nbh file on it, rename it to SAPPIMG.nbh and when trying to flash it, it said loading with multiple lines as always does but it did not start with the verification of the image but it just shows me the hboot option again, as it was restarting itself.
Any idea?
