Ok... kinda stuck in vodafone limbo [myTouch 3g w/ headphone jack]

Alright, newb here.
Now that that is out of the way, let me get to the issue.
History: I was following a howto on theunlockr.com (or however it's spelled) for rooting my myTouch 3g w/ 3.5mm headphone jack. Created goldcard, put sappimg on it, booted phone into bootloader, nothing, didn't recognize the image file. Thinking that the file was bad, I downloaded another sappimg.zip file (which I realize now was a bad mistake). After realizing that the card needed to be empty (no files other than sappimg.zip), put JUST sappimg.zip on goldcard and it worked. It uploaded the zip to memory and flashed. Then it rebooted and was stuck at a Vodafone logo. No bootup, just hangs at logo (I've left it at that for a good 10 minutes, still nothing). I can't flash from fastboot, as the SPL does signature checking. I've tried fastbooting into a recovery image, but the four I've tried so far, won't get past the three droids skating logo (and that's if I use fastboot to erase system, boot, userdata, and cache, otherwise, they'll hang at the Vodafone logo too). I've also wiped every partition on the flash other than the bootloader.
Yesterday, I've even tried to run a couple of RUU's for the thing. I had a friend try all three T-Mobile RUU's for the myTouch (from the "[ROM] Official HTC Sapphire/Magic/MT3G RUU ROM Links" thread), all failed with some version (Different failures for each though).
Oh, also, I can't do the goldcard trick anymore, because when it tries to flash the rom, the SPL hangs on the system partition.
So, gentlemen, I do believe I'm screwed.
Any help towards getting it unscrewed (even back to stock) would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a MT3G 1.2 with the symptoms you describe - hangs on unzipping the system image in sappimg.zip (2.10.531.3) and (2.10.531.4). Don't even think about trying to flash sappimg.nbh (1.94.531.1) - that got me a brick semi-recoverable via JTAG.
I have also seen the Fail-PU message appear when it tries to flash the system partition (when radio 2.22.23.02 was installed).
I found that you can successfully flash sappimg.zip (2.53.707.2 including eng spl 1.33.2010), but fastboot is useless since you get the (remote: signature verify fail) message. Needless to say, this rom doesn't boot successfully.
In addition to the symptoms you describe, the USB is also broken on my MT3G 1.2, so I would need a solution that doesn't use fastboot.
Has anybody else experienced this problem or something similar with their MT3G 1.2? I would like to collect as much information as I can about this problem. I have so far been unsuccessful in finding a solution
I have working JTAG on my MT3G 1.2, so I can easily softboot any SPL. See wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic for more details.
I had an idea to edit the SPL so that it skips the signature check on any sappimg.zip file you give it, and easily flash a custom sappimg.zip. Another idea I had was to get it to skip checking the main version on any sappimg.zip file you give it.
Does anybody have any ARMv6 (ARM11) disassembly experience? I could only ever get arm-none-eabi-objdump to disassemble the SPL as a ARMv5 binary...
Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? Am I crazy?

I have some ideas that I would like to bounce off you...and I would be willing to provide a phone to try them on...then we could have something to offer because this seems to be a big problem for this phone. Please PM me.

Dude, the post is from September 2010... :0)
Good luck..

It may be an old post, but I'm still having the problem I described above
My phone is sitting right here collecting dust, JTAG still hooked up and everything.
jonk26.2, I got your PM. I'm interested.
I just need to get a working openocd installation up and running again - shouldn't take too long.
EDIT: I mean I'm interested in trying your ideas. No need to send me a phone.

Let me tell you where I am and what I am thinking.
I bought a 3.5mm phone on ebay that had this issue...stuck on fastboot screen. I could get into USB fastboot just fine...and could try the goldcard root process just fine...but had the same freeze on unzipping files that everybody else had. I had the brilliant idea that I could use fastboot to erase the bad files so it could unzip files...and in my haste I erased EVERYTHING...no fastboot no nothing...dead. Then I started looking around the site for JTAG and found your post and then I thought...maybe this is the way to start...absolutely wipe the slate clean and start over.
Anyway...my mobo is dead on this phone and I would like to try to fix it if you are game.

If you erased the radio, then I'm afraid that even the current JTAG procedure won't help you much... Try seeing if blue LED light mode works - if it does, then you might still have hope. This is discussed in the JTAG thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048 and also at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic
I know the JTAG thread can be a bear to sift through, but it has a lot of good information, including what kind of equipment they use (I'm using a Stellaris EKC-LM3S6965 eval kit which doubles as a USB-serial adapter if you program it right).
Remember that the MT3G 1.2 3.5mm jack / Fender LE won't boot anything without the stock SPL and a known compatible radio (2.22.23.02 is one).

Yes...Blue LED...nothing else.

Then in theory un-bricking is possible via jtag and serial cable.
I'm not sure about this, but if your phone is in a condition like mine, then JTAG may only be able to bring it back to the limbo state we've been seeing. Symptoms of this are: 1. seeing something like fastboot remote signature verify fail when fastboot worked (even with an engineering SPL) and 2. stuck at unzipping the system image or getting Fail-PU when installing a sappimg.zip. And as far as I know this only applies to the MT3G 1.2 3.5mm jack.

Wow...
Haven't been on in a while and I come back and see that the thread did blossom into a full discussion. Nice. Sorry to leave y'all out in the dark for so long, but I've been busy (and distracted).
So, my solution was to get it replaced. Cheap, I know, but something had to be done. So, I got another MyTouch 3G and when I was feeling brave again, I tried a different route and went with Universal Androot to root the stock ROM in place and use ClockworkMod to flash CM6 onto the device. Awesome, it worked. So we (me and the girlfriend) enjoyed our MyTouch's until we got fed up with T-Mobile's service (crappy signal, where I live). Switched to AT&T and got a HTC Aria, which I suppose is the MyTouch's cousin.

I feel hopeless
I am also suffering the same problem.
I can access fastboot but I can do nothing [Perfect SPL].
I have created a working gold card but all I'm seeing is the frozen system extraction.
tried almost any possible howto's I can find on the net but to no avail.
due to my experiment on flashing sappimg.zip, I seem have a mutated radio/spl combo!

having the same problem
I have tried every combination of firmwares known to man. I have got several to begin flashing, but all stick on the unzipping system. I messed it up by originally following another post for rooting the phone and didnt realize that this my touch 1.2 is special. Apparently the firmware I flashed it with is a 32A firmware and the spl and radio are no good for this phone. So now nothing will flash. Probably have to Jtag it...

I have the same problem.
Using eng spl 1.33.2009 and 1.33.2005 through JTAG on MT3G 1.2,
At first, if I used eng spl 1.33.2009, fastboot flash [partition] [partition.img]
I got: FAILED (remote: image update error).
After that, I switched to eng spl 1.33.2005, somehow I could use fastboot flash hboot boot.nb0 from T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4. But I only flashed that and rebooted the system to see what happened. Then I cannot do it again.
(Remote) signature verify fail, when using
fastboot flash [partition] [partition.img]
Now using eng spl 1.33.2005, fastboot flash zip T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4.zip, it only can flash radio.img.
using eng spl 1.33.2009, fastboot flash zip T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4.zip, it only can flash hboot, boot, radio.img. splash, but stuck at sytem image.
Using eng spl 1.33.2009 through JTAG on MT3G 1.2,
1. Stuck at unzipping the system image.
Or
2. (Remote) signature verify fail, when using
fastboot flash [partition] [partition.img]
When the system was stucked at unzipping the system image, the serial cable continues to give message:
[MDDI_HW_ERR] mddi_queue_image timeout
[MDDI_HW_ERR] mddi_queue_image timeout
Something is broken.
I can only flash sappimg.zip with eng 1.33.2010, but it doesn't a working system.
Can anyone shine light on this one?

man, if this IS thru JTAG..., I am losing hope

I still have hope.
I was able to bring it back to work once.
After fastboot flash zip T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4.zip, stucked at unzipping the system image, I took off the battery and was able to flash sappimg.zip (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4) on SD card through hboot (stock 1.33.0013G) successfully. And system was working but SD card reader was disabled in android system, so I read that I need to root the system, and I followed the
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
and installed the sappimg.zip with (eng spl 2010). Then eng spl 2010 flashed sappimg.zip (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4) and stuck at unzipping the system image. [However, it was worked at the very beginning when the MT3G 1.2 with froyo,~~~ Wrong! I didn't use the SAPPIMG with eng spl 2010 at that time, and I only used the universal androot to root the phone~~~ and before I bricked the phone when I used RUU to downgraded it back to Donut.~~This is true. ]
This can explain why I can flash sappimg.zip (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4) on SD card through hboot (stock 1.33.0013G) successfully at first place. So the sappimg.zip with (eng spl 2010) is halmful, because it updates the main version.
When I rebooted the system and used the stock spl 1.33.0013G to reflash (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4), I have the "main version is older" error.
It looks like each time it becomes worse, there are some kind of watchdog programs in the system?
Because of the hybrid nature of the MT3G 1.2 (32A hardware/32B ROM), the partitions probably messed up, because I saw "partition update failed".
I just cannot repeat the process, when I jtag the phone,
I also saw
[ERR] partition_read::Failed to read page 19072 or it is empty, when soft boot the system as

ok bro, I wish you luck on unbricking your phone, let us know if you succeeded!

Can any one help me check the main version of the original MT3G 1.2 before using the SAPPIMG.ZIP with eng spl 2010 (main version 2.53.707.2)?
fastboot getvar version-main
Even after I flashed back to T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4 (stopped at system), the main version is still 2.53.707.2. I think the main version of T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4
is 2.10.531.4. So the SAPPIMG.ZIP with eng spl 2010 (main version 2.53.707.2) is potentially harmful at least for some MT3G 1.2.

Please can you provide more info.
It's like going to the doctor and saying the you feel pain and nothing else!
Do you have fastboot access?
Do you have recovery access?
What did you do before you phone went dead?
What model, radio,spl and rom do you have?

my phone is...

radio 6.35.07.29
its because of the perfected spl right?

From what I can see,with my limited experience, either you left out a part after "s-on", or your phone thinks its neither HTC nor google.
It should say S-ON H
And I dont think that 0007 is perfected.
But I'm a noob and would wait for mumilover to respond...

Similar Issue
Hey Guys and Girls,
This is my first time posting on this site. I have run into a similar issue and have attempted to post on numerous sites without having any luck solving the problem.
The quick version: I ran z4root to root my phone; it said successful. I then installed Rom Manager and switched my recovery to Clockwork (the most recent one). Next I downloaded the latest CM6 from the Rom Manager with GApps. After having unsuccessful attempts at backing up and wiping first, I decided to try installing the Rom without backing up or wiping data. The Rom install worked this time (I got installation successful). However, when the phone rebooted itself, it never got past the Rogers screen. It is now in a constant state of rebooting until I pull the battery.
I can get to fastboot, but cannot get to the recovery screen. My HTC Magic 32A specs from the fastboot menu are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.16.19
Some other info that may help:
-my PC recognizes my phone (I have been trying the Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 and it says the phone is connected) but it is not allowing me to flash anything.
-When I try "adb devices" it gives error: no device attached but "fastboot devices" gives me a number.
-I have tried putting "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H" on my sdcard, but the HBoot says no image or wrong image
-The Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 says my phone is not rooted
-I tried the goldcard method of rooting, but because I can't get the phone to recognize the sdcard, I can't get a proper CID for the goldcard creator
Hopefully I've provided enough info to get some help. I am waiting patiently, but am starting to get sick of the old Sony Ericsson Anything helps!

You have to make a goldcard... if you can't make it using your device, then do it using any other android device.
When you have made the goldcard come back here, and i'll guide through the rest :0)

Done. I made a gold card previously...hopefully it still works. Once it's made into a goldcard, is it always a goldcard?

Actually... re-checking your info - you don't need a goldcard..
No need for sdcard either...
Download this sappimg.zip :
http://rapidshare.com/files/437924840/sappimg.zip
Then run this command from a command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash zip sappimg.zip
Make sure that the sappimg.img is in the same folder as fastboot.exe
The sappimg.zip is the newest rogers update... the same version as you currently have...
No need for goldcard or anything :0)
if you get any troubles, then post here the outcome of the command prompt..
When all is done, you should be back on stock 2.1...
From there you follow my guide (check my signature) to root and get custom recovery.
Good luck

i have my first goldcard.
this forum is my last hope... if anyone know how to proced, help me pls

I had the same problem as a few of you and after trying everything I eventually decided to try installing SAPPIMG.zip from hboot and it worked fine. Took me a while to find the correct SAPPIMG but you should be able to find it on the forums here. You have to put the SAPPIMG.zip on the root of your SD card from your computer, put it in the phone, boot into fastboot and go into hboot and it'll load the SAPPIMG file. If you have the wrong SAPPIMG it'll usually give you an error when trying to install it'll say someting like update failed or wrong device ID. It took me about 4-5 different SAPPIMG to find the correct one for my phone.

Hmm... try this:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The above will set the device into RUU mode.
Then download the official rogers RUU..
Run it and it should install just fine... no need for goldcard or sdcard..
I hope this will work.

I will try to help where i can :0)

Hey,
I just wanted to say I appreciate all the time you are putting in to helping me. I just did the RUU install, but once it gets to the updating signature part I get:
ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.

[Q] Trouble rooting MT3g Fender - Cannot verify signature

I have looked through all of the threads dealing with this and I cannot find the answer I am looking for.
I am trying to root the MyTouch Fender and have gotten as far as the sappimg.img
However, once I am in command prompt and I try to flash the radio, I am getting that it cannot verify the signature.
All of the instructions/files I am using are from theunlockr.com
Moderators, if this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it.

Forget about the sappimg... follow my guide... it's much more simple...
Check out my signature

Ok, I have two questions. First, will this method work with the Fender/1.2 model?
Also, as I have already mentioned, I have ran the sappimg and now the phone is stuck with a non working touch screen. I have no way of running the app. Everything has to be done through adb now.

Do you have access to the system/OS ?

Not at all.

Post here ALL your fastboot info.. ALL
Also the output from this command
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

Ok, a new problem, now when I plug the phone in, it is not showing up in adb devices like it did two days ago.
Here is the fastboot info:
Sapphire Unknown 32b ship 2-on h
hboot-1.33.0009 (sapp31000)
cpld-13
radio-3.22.20.17
may 8 2009, 21:02:32
Fastboot USB
<Vol down> HBoot Mode
<Send> Reset Device
<Action> Restart to HBoot
<Menu> Power down
I do not know if it is any help but I punched in the command anyways and this is what it said:
version-main: 2.16.151.1
finished. total time: 0.00s

Follow this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
I just checked out the numbers... you should be good to go!
Just use this rom instead when you reach step 9:
http://cyanogenmod-mirror.local.host.name/ds/cm/stable/update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed.zip

That was the guide that I was using to begin with. My original problem is that I cannot get past step 6. Every time I try to flash anything (the radio, hboot, recovery, etc) it tells me that it has failed, the signature could not be verified. Why would it be doing this?

Well.. you have been using the wrong sappimg.zip
Use this: http://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
Just rename it to sappimg.zip
Then follow the guide again... From step 2 :0)

Ok, I'll give it a shot and let you know!

Ok, I just tried it again and here is what I am getting:
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...OKAY [35.703s]
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>
finished. total time: 41.875s
This is where I have been stuck.

You need to follow the steps...
Like the goldcard og hboot mode are essentials for success...
Try again without using fastboot commands :0)

What do you mean about not using fastboot commands?

This is what i mean with fastboot commands...
Don't do the commands... use a goldcard and the right sappimg.zip

I need you to be a little more specific. What steps need to be taken when you say just use a gold card and the right sappimg? I am using a working gold card and the sappimg that you recommended but when the phone starts back up, I do not have a working touch screen.
To my knowledge, the way to correct this is to flash the proper recovery image. How can I do this without using fastboot commands?
Is there a writeup on the method you are recommending?

Ok, when in fasboot, at the top of the screen it says "s-on". Does this need to say "off" before it will stop rejecting the signature? Am I even on the right track?

Still haven't solved it. Any additional help would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

Hey. I had a similar problem and I fixed it by downloading a new SPL from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 and putting it onto my SD Card.
Using Clockworkmod recovery, I installed the SPL from my SD Card (I chose Engineering SPL 1.33.2010) and then used the recovery to reboot, which completed the installation. When I later rebooted into fastboot mode, my info had changed to S-OFF. Then I had no problem upgrading the radio and SPL to the newer versions (which is what I was trying to do in the first place).
Hope that helps you.

What is your fastboot info now? I know this is kind of dead, but we'll see.

HTC Magic 32B, unable to boot or flash from fastboot

I tried to upgrade my Radio with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1
Now (after 6 hours) I'm frustrated and I dont know what to do.
My Phone says:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.16.19
I can enter fastboot, but I'm not able to boot into the recovery. Also I'm not able to flash a new recovery, radio, hboot, boot, system or userdata.
If i try to flash something:
"INFOsignatur checking... FAILED (remote: signatur verify fail)"
If i try to boot into recovery:
"downloading 'boot.img' ... OKAY [1.703s]
booting...."
but nothing happens.
If i try to flash SAPPIMG.nbh it stucks on flashing radio.
Im really really frustrated and I hope someone can help me.

I've never seen that radio before. What I can tell you is that your going to have to downgrade using the goldcard method. You'll have to borrow a friends Android phone to make the goldcard. I'm sure by the time you get it made someone will be able to give more in depth directions or I'll be back in front of a computer.

I have created a Goldcard, but with a CID from a German forum, because non of my friends have a Android Phone
I tried to orange-1.58.73.2.nbh and sappimg.nbh from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1 but nothing works. Both stuck on "INFOstart image[radio] flushing ..."

You can't use the CID from another user. The CID is unique to the SD card, you need the CID for the SD card your using.

UPDATE:
Now i was able to flash a engineering SPL from an 32A sappimg.nbh . (android-hilfe.de/239127-post7.html for all german Magic users)
I can enter recovery *whuhuu* but still I'm not able to flash a new/other radio. Is there any solution for that?
UPDATE:
BRICKED ...

Try putting the sappimg.nbh on your sdcard and then holding down the volume down + the power button and it should ask you to install and just press the scroll ball and it should fix your problem.

No its Bricked ;-)
But i found someone with an JTAG Interface.
Plz close

i am having similar trouble after:
* Format the Micro SD Card to FAT32.
* Copy the SAPPIMG.nbh file to the Micro SD Card.
* With the phone off, hold volume down and press power to boot into the bootloader.
* Once the bootloader is loaded, press power to install.
* Press the trackball to continue and press talk+menu+power to reboot.
I get:
parsing...[sapping.nbh]
1]radio_v2
2]bootloader
3]splash
4]recovery
5]boot
6]system
7]userdata
Do you want to start update?
yes
no
so i select yes and it says:
update in progress...
reading images...
checking signiture...
model id incorrect!
update fail!
i have magic 32b
please help

You need a goldcard.

I also have a magic (32B) and with the 1.33.0013d SPL I had a similar problem.
You need to read the first message of the 2708+ thread to the end to read how to flash to an old SPL (but you found that already).
I can only guess why you should try a G1 SPL or an 32A SPL on your phone since it seems like a recipe to brick the device. I reverted back to the SPL available from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Since I had previous experience with the 2005 engineering-version I went for that one.
Did you also try to 2708+ to upgrade to Gingerbread?

All you did was correct but as DonJuan692006 said, you need a goldcard.
If you are running ubuntu you'll find a very simple tutorial (but in french) looking for didier.misson.net and golcard with google.
Good luck.
O-p

I have a similar problem.
I can't start ADB and I have no boot partition. Only FASTBOOT and HBOOT can be started.
Info of my phone (Google Developer Phone):
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.27.08

Not boot partition:
$ fastboot oem boot
... INFO[ERR] boot image does not exist!!!
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 5.208s
No recovery can be started:
$ fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G.img
downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Then I downloaded the vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh for the "Magic 32B" and copied it to the sd-card. I renamed it into sappimg.nbh and started HBOOT. But I only get the well know messages:
SD Checking ...

No image or wrong image!
Loading...[SAPPIMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[SAPPIMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Has anybody an idea what I can do now?
Thank's a lot!!
Felix

Now I know my fault.
HBOOT ist case sensetive. The correct name for the SAPPING.nbh is "SAPPIMG" with capital letters and ".nbh" with small letters.

[Q] Magic - Fastboot: FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Hi there,
I'd like to update to a newer Android Version. So as I read I have to flash a new recovery first. I tried to create a gold card in order to flash this new recovery but I still get an error when I use fastboot.
I read several tutorials and threads in this forum but i couldn't find the right answer. I hope someone can help me.
Is there a problem with a "ScanDisk" gold card...?

You said you have a Goldcard already, right?
Also, only do this if your Magic is a 32B. If it's a 32A, you're bricked for life (and I'm not responsible). It says on the fastboot screen which you are.
If it is a 32B, get the first download from the NBH/ZIP section of this thread <a href=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218>here</a> (Make sure to read the warnings at the top) and put it on your normal SD card.
Then, boot into HBOOT mode by either
1. Booting into Fastboot mode and pushing volume down.
2. Booting phone with volume down pressed.
It should find the sappimg after a minute. If not, make sure the sappimg is on the SD card not in any folders and also that it's named SAPPIMG.zip.
Choose yes to all the questions. If it has an error, reboot and try again or try it on a Goldcard.
Now fastboot should work and you can do whatever.

1.33.0013 is perfected SPL, remote commands are disabled in this hboot.
If you have custom recovery (AmonRa or Clockworkmod), then you are lucky.
If not, then you must install official ROM: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
After that, you can root phone with SuperOneClick, then install custom recovery, and custom rom (via custom recovery)

I already rooted using superone click but my phone wont boot after I tried to flash a rom how do I get it to boot up and work again I'm freaking out oh an I have clockwork recorvery image that's how I tried to flash the rom but i dont have a goldcard can i still use the same method can u give me a walk through or is there a way using clockwork mod

If you have custom recovery - just flash custom rom via it.
P.s. but choose appropriate rom (with tags 32b)
