Problem rooting MT3G 1.2

So I was following the directions on unlockr and I seem to be having some problems.
I downloaded the sappimg and flashed it, restarted and it hung at the first boot screen for 15 - 20 minutes. I restarted into the bootloader mode and tried to reflash the sappimg but its stuck at "[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping" and the progress bar hasn't filled at all...
What should I do? Should I try to restart and do it again or?
Also, my original info on that screen has changed, it was this:

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
Now it says:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

Does this mean it flashed okay and I should just move on in the guide or?
Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: I downloaded the sappimg.zip file a couple of times and I double checked that it copied okay to the goldcard... I think the file is correct but I don't know why I'm running into problems on the first few step

My phone has been sitting this way for almost an hour... Should I just take out the battery and hope for the best or does anyone have any suggestions? It seems that it hasn't flashed anything or done anything at all since it is just saying "unzipping" without any progress... I plugged it into usb because I don't want the battery running out but I'm not convinced its charging...
Anyone?

So I gave up, restarted (by removing the battery) I can still get into fastboot/'bootloader mode' (is this the same as recovery?) and my SPL and Radio information is the same as earlier. 'fastboot devices' reveals my phone in fastboot mode so I think I'm on the right track but I just want to be sure... Should I continue on and do the fastboot commands?
EDIT: PLEASE DELETE/CLOSE THIS THREAD
Despite running into problems, I continued through the guide and it worked out perfectly.

if you phones info in hboot is

Thanks for the reply, I guess I didn't need to create a thread because I figured it out on my own. I was worried I bricked my new phone but it worked out in the end.
Thanks again! This thread can be closed/deleted.

[Q] Need Root Help - Newbie

Hi,
I'm newbie and root my phone with roottools. After root I tried to intall a new room recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img with
fastboot recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
now I cannot boot the phone or enter on recovery mode. The only thing I can do is to enter on fastboot and try to recovery from a image. I don't have a goldencard.
Sorry if I did not give enough information, like I said I'm a newbie and sorry about my bad english.
There is something I can do? Did I brick my phone?
Thnks,
Marcelo Murad

First of all, wrong section. Moving to General.
Secondly, have you tried using a 1.7.0H recovery?
Third, you cannot fastboot anything because you need an engineering SPL. You see that S-ON? It needs to say S-OFF to flash anything by fastboot. I suggest reading instructions carefully before proceeding.

you need the 1.76.2007 eng spl.

Since you have no system nor recovery you only option is a goldcard.
Just make sure that you use the right one!
Looking at the fastboot info you provided, you should use the H version of the custom recovery!

Just to make sure.
I already have the goldcard. Now I have to put the hboot-1.76.2007.img into it and update SPL.
After that I will be able to use fastboot command line and install Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to it.
From there I will be able to install a rom.
Those are the steps:
- Copy hboot-1.76.2007.img to goldcard renaming it to sappimg.nbh;
- HBOOT with the goldcard in it;
This will change my SPL to 1.76.2007 ENG S-OFF
- Shutdown;
- Copy Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to a spare card;
- Enter on fastboot mode;
- fastboot recovery Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img;
- Reboot;
- Enter in recovery mode (home+power)
- Install a new room.
Is that right?
After that I will get:

you mean load the PD15IMG and boot into hboot?
no that will not brick it, unless you have a bad eMMC, then the chance goes up.

whether it emmc?

HTC Magic 32a and b ?? confused

Hi everyone this may be a silly question but on the boot menu when pressing back and on together my phone says its a 32b but on creating an image recovery for rooting purposes it said it was a 32a?
Any ideas as i'd like to put froyo on it but don't want to brick it.
Thanks

You have a 32B device and a wrong radio version.
Leave the eng spl be, it is ok.
But change the radio to this one:
https://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img
Also use the G version of recovery.
You can flash the right radio/recovery using my fastboot commander tool found in my signature (version 1.1 and NOT magic version).

It didn't like the radio flashing lol
Flashed to the version of radio you mentioned but it crashed on restart. So i replaced back to the radio from the 32a and now its fine again. Does the radio file name have to include the word radio at all as the file name is simply the version no?

Ok so phone still confused
So i had to reflash the phone with the old radio after it didn't take the new one advised. After looking it up the radio is for a 32a, again do i flash for a 32a or 32b as this phone is confusing me is it definately a 32b if it says so in the fastboot menu?
Also for creating a backup img does that program of yrs (mummylover) create a backup from the phone or flash the backup to the phone?
Thanks

Can you provide the last info...
The info concealed by the stars.
Do you have a 3.5 mm jack on the top of the device?
Also run this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Fix: change the spl to 2005, instead of 2010... it should work better with the radio i provided.
https://rapidshare.com/files/1892434362/HBOOT_1.33.2005.img
So the steps are:
1)Flash the 2005 spl and reboot into fastboot.
2)Flash the radio i provided and reboot into fastboot
3)Flash G recovery and test it out...
NB: Provide the concealed info - maybe it can help us figure out why you device is acting weird.

It's for flashing backup files TO the phone.
The backup is created by the custom recovery.
