Goldcard will only help if your error is related to the CID. If you have a branded phone (Rogers, for example) and you want to flash a ROM that is only meant for a different carrier (Vodafone, for example), the goldcard overrides the CID check and continues the process.
A checksum error could mean that the file has been altered.
Could you tell us exactly what information you see on your phone's FASTBOOT page? Model, HBOOT version, RADIO, S-ON/S-OFF, etc.
Thanks.

Okay, there at two issues to deal with first. You have a perfected SPL, 1.33.0014, and you are S-ON. The perfected SPL means that fastboot is crippled and won't let you do most things, and S-ON means it will only let you flash signed images.
***
*** This is one way to fix things, but I'm sure someone knows a better way. If someone knows a better way, please post ***
***
The first step is to unlock the bootloader. This will at least let you flash a custom recovery.
Go to HTC Dev and make an account. Once you've logged in, click on "Unlock Bootloader", then the "Get Started" button. You should be able to skip the RUU installation step, but, if you must do it, the file you want is at this link: SAPP10000 hboot 1.33.0014G. Follow the steps, send your ID token, receive the Unlock_code.bin, and flash it.
Once all of that is done, the bootloader should be unlocked (but still S-ON). You should now be able to flash a custom recovery using this guide: RA sapphire recovery. Scroll down to where it says "via fastboot". It says that is requires an ENG spl, but the unlocked bootloader should be enough. The file you want is: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
If you get into the custom recovery alright, you can try updating to an engineering SPL using a signed zip file. Go to this thread and download "roottools". Open it up and get "hboot_2010_signed.zip". Put it in the root (not in a folder) of an sdcard, put the sdcard into your phone and boot into recovery. Look for an option to install a zip file from your sdcard.
If that doesn't work, try renaming the hboot_2010_signed.zip to SAPPIMG.zip, put it on the sdcard and boot into HBOOT mode (Volume Down + Power). It will scan the sdcard and try to install SAPPIMG.zip.
If all of that goes well, let us know.
1. i already go to htcdev used the 1.33.0014 spl and unlocked it. It says "*** UNLOCKED***"
2. i don't recovery, only fastboot
3. tried goldcard with sandisk and no sucess!

But did you actually try to flash a recovery image from fastboot?
Download this image: AmonRA 1.7.0G Recovery image
Put your phone into fastboot USB
Open a Command Prompt, cd to the recovery-RA-blahblah.img location, then type this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Let us know if that works.

Hmmm. Are you able to enter HBOOT mode? Turn the phone completely off (or pull the battery), then hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER until it says HBOOT.
Yes, i can enter hboot and fastboot

Alright. We can try downgrading with the RUU for your phone and a goldcard. Download the RUU exe file, run it, but don't use it to install. While it's open, go into C:\ Users \ Whateveryourusernameis \ AppData (may be hidden) \ Local \ Temp \ then look for the 2 newest folders in Temp. One of them will contain "dotnetinstaller.exe" and another folder. Go into the other folder and you'll find "rom.nbh".
Run: fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh
If it still doesn't work, try it in RUU mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU (and then use fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh)
If THAT doesn't work, put the rom.nbh on the root directory of your goldcard, rename it SAPPIMG.nbh, and boot into HBOOT mode. It should be autodetected.

BTW, if it gives you a "main version is older" error, we can fix that.
as soon i tested all the ways, i'll report to you! BIG THANKS to you! cheers!
Let's catch up: i have an sapphire 32B S-ON G, spl 1.33.0014 unlocked, radio 2.22.19.23
1. when i run RUU i get error "bootloader version"
2. all the things i do with fastboot, receive error "remote: not allow"
2.1 when use fastboot oem rebootRUU and then use fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh, received error "Failed (remote: 43 main version check fail)"
3. using sdcard SAPPIMG.nbh (from RUU):
3.1 Non goldcard: transcend 8GB "Main Version is older!"
3.2 Goldcard: kingston 4GB "Main Version is older!"
---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
is there any tool to edit the edit NBH file and "fool" the phone?
I'll need to buy a 2gb kingston sdcard?
can i flash ruu hboot 1.76.0013 and try all the process?

I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.
My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.
Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.
Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.
One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.
Urgently need help! Appreciated.
If you have constant security S-OFF, it accepts all ROMs and HBoot and RUU. Probably you have engineering Magic (not Hboot, the whole device)
1. Try this...
If fastboot can detect phone, so try flash Amon_RA Hero recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(recovery.img or other filename must be in folder with fastboot.exe)
Then start into recovery (Home + Power) and flash CursorSense
If you need original ROM (without root), so search forum for it
(it has been posted already). Just get rom1.zip (system.img, userdata.img and more...) and flash it (Saying again: official doesn't contain root)
2. Or try run another RUU

Yes, common fastboot required to be engineering. But you have S-OFF now, so no checks.
use RA_Hero, cause you have radio 6.35.X.X

Tried flashing the recovery.img (RA_Hero) but failed.
i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [ renamed the file to recovery.img] but got the error...
sending 'recovery' <3362 KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED <remote: image type not support>
Just to clarify more, the screen only shows "RUU USB" not "FASTBOOT" although fastboot can see my device... could that be the reason why it failed?
According to your 2nd suggestion, where can i find other RUU and how do i know which is the proper one?

the rogers ROM is not working right. Too many crashes and so on .. so try this one
RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
You can download it from HTC main site ...
Also, you have to keep in mind that you can RUU as many as you want. So do the procedure again and keep us posted if it's working. If not send me a PM and i'll resolve it step by step.
best of luck !
I have one Magic and it show in Bootloader :

1.76.0007 (SAPP*****).
Why the SAPP is SAPP*****? Is there something wrong?
Also, the device detected by fastboot is 1234567890... , not like other HTC Magic.
Now I get stuck with RUU Flash at 81% (Hong Kong RUU). --> When the device start to update system STEP. So the Magic now just show RUU, can connect by Fastboot but when use fastboot flash system or recovery, only can send to phone and write error.
Anybody help me to solve this?

I do have the same problem with my RUU flash with the new Rogers RUU. Stuck at 81% when device starts updating at step[4] "system". Phone will show "unzipping" for over an hour and eventually failed with error code [155].
I tried the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_ NoDriver.exe but still the same problem. Can anyone help here?
Did more investigation, and seems like both RUU ROMs i tried might not match the CID, hence the system ROM updating failed.
Now the question is, i am stuck in RUU and cannot use adb to check my CID now. How can i manually update the system ROM given i am in RUU mode only?
How can i manually update the HBOOT and RADIO if i am stuck in RUU screen? If the RUU program can automate the process in one click, is there program to allow me to update each individually? Note that i cannot get into fastboot mode.
Any advice? Thanks!

I had a 32B G2,it was brikked at the first time when I ruu flash the rom(Sense official). G2 couldn't received any RUU rom.it would stop at 22%.
Today,when I ruu flash the rom（HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2）,I also found it stop at 81%.
SPL is updated to 1.76.0008 from 1.76.0007.
It seems much better than before. But it still could not accept the cmd "adb shell"
Hoping somebody could help us.
I used the following RUU after upgrading to sense RUU stopped at 81%
hxxp://suntharee.com/android/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sign ed_NoDriver.exe
Here is another link, its the first RUU in this post:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096
You will end up with an ENG SPL that allows you to flash what ever you want then.
I manually updated Radio and SPL and now using CursorSense ROM.
Obviously replace the "hxxp" with "http". Hope it helps at least some of you like it did for me.

I tried but already got stuck in the first step of unzipping system.img. Looks like this RUU will upgrade system first before HBOOT and RADIO, hence i am still stuck with Perfected SPL.
Given that my phone has security off (SOFF), is there way to downgrade my HBOOT?
I had the same problem when HK SenseUI appeared and I managed to pass the RUU screen with a gold-card. You will find tutorials in this forum.

Were you upgraded to the latest perfected SPL when the same problem happens? I had my goldcard configured properly, but everytime i run RUU, the process hang at 81%, which is the time when unzipping system.img happens.
I understanding the latest SPL is still yet hard to crack, but will my phone being S=OFF, can have some ways to get the system check bypassed?
Thanks!

What exactly do you have? You posted in one place - that you have 32B
But on picture you have 32A

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....

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...

But, somehow, I download the Vodaphone HTC Magic 1.5 file instead of the MyTouch 3g cupcake 1.5 file. I'm tired of trying to root my phone and having things go wrong. But I want to get my MyTouch Froyo 2.2.1 rom back, but I can not find any sappimg.nbh files that will let me restore it, it keep getting the "Main version is older, please reboot" error message. All I want is my 2.2.1 froyo rom back. How can I do this?
EDIT: Also, ROM Manager won't install on my version of android, and flashrec.apk isn't flashing any recovery images on my version of android either. I downloaded Universal Androot, and it says my phone has been rooted, and installed SuperUser. I just can't get a recovery image flashed, and can't get fastboot to do anything on my pc. Basically, whenever I flash something with fastboot, my command prompt says "Downloading recovery.img xxxxkb" and just hangs on that, while my phone, in fastboot mode, just sits there. It gets a progress bar, but never moves.
Is this a 32a or 32b board? It would be immensely helpful if you could list out everything it says at your fastboot screen.

I have made a goldcard, but everytime I try to put a SAPPIMG.nbh/.zip on it, it still says "Main Version is Older" everytime I try to flash something else onto it..
Download this file:
https://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
1)rename the file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
4)The device should pick up the file, follow screen instructions and flash the sappimg.
5)once this has finished, you should restart and confirm you have 1.33.2010 as spl nr.
6)post here the progress and wait for further instructions
Still getting the "Main Version is Older" error message with this... :/
Cannot be... your version is 2.16.151.1 and the one i gave you is 2.53.707.2...
Simple math:
2.53.707.2 > 2.16.151.1
So either you have provided the wrong version or there is something completely wrong with your device...
My bad... it gave the "Model ID Incorrect" error this time, not the "Main Version is Older" one.
Could it be the goldcard? I've tried it using two different SanDisk cards and a Transcend card... I know certain card manufacturers won't work as a goldcard...

It's a faulty goldcard.
That error is the reason why you use a goldcard... to use a sappimg.zip from another model id :0)
Should I try remaking my goldcard? I just went to the website to make it, and the page seems to be down... or should I try a different brand of SD card with my original goldcard.img file?
Every goldcard.img is unique for the specific sdcard which you got the unique cid.
Thats why you can make a goldcard on one device and it will work on another... its sdcard specific... but you cannot take an image from sdcard to another sdcard...
Try to remake... try another sdcard... what ever...
As long as you get the "model id error" you are doing something wrong...
I made downloaded the QMAT (I think it is now called Rev Tools) to reverse the CID string. I'm getting the CID string from the Terminal Emulator app, then emailing it directly to my email, copying the string, pasting it in the Crypto Toolbox app, reversing the string, replacing the first two digits with 00, creating the goldcard.img, opening that and my sd card in HxD, replacing up to line 00000170 with the goldcard, saving, placing sappimg.zip on it, and hbooting the sappimg.zip. Still getting the Model ID error. I've done this with 4 different SD cards now... what could I be doing wrong?
Am I not supposed to replace the first two digits? I swear it says that in the instructions.. that seems like it could be my only error.

I think I know what happened. I wasn't clicking "Removable Disk (I" in HxD which is where my SD was mounted. I was clicking some other Removable Disk in the list.. Once I corrected this, I tried doing it, then my SD card kept saying to format it. Looks like I need to wait it out a few days until I can get a Kingston SD card :|
Sorry for the triple post. I got the Goldcard working finally. I followed all these steps and completed them all, and my spl is now the one that is noted.
Code:
1)rename the file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)

What do I do in the next step?
Sorry for the delay.

Good luck
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...?
Error in Fastboot (sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img):

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)

Hi there,
i have a HTC Magic here. When starting up it get's stuck at the Vodafone screen. I can't enter the recovery-mode.
I'm able to enter hboot and fastboot - the screen shows the following:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)

RADIO-6.35.08.29
I thought 32A is H only, and 32B is G? :silly:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.12.0.0
While in fastboot-usb-mode i can see the phone on my pc (i used the android-sdk-driver, now my phone shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface") with:
Code:
fastboot devices
MB2********* fastboot
but it doesn't show up here (while phone is in hboot-mode or fastboot-usb-mode):
Code:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
NBH-files on the sd-card are rejected with "Main version is older". Any command for flashing or booting with fastboot end up in "command error" or "remote: not allowed" or something like that.
Most recovery-tutorials say that i need adb and fastboot - but as i said adb doesn't work. Other tutorials say i need a NBH-file, but all of those are rejected with "Main version is older". I also tried some sappimg.zip-files, but the phone shows up an error-message for a very short time ("wrong zipped...", i'm not able to read that so fast).
I also got a goldcard, but this didn't change anything.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
cid: VODAP102
Is there any help for me and my phone (step by step with needed files)? :laugh:
I've got the same problem. It's been almost a month now and still no luck.
Did your problem start when you unlocked your bootloader? That's when mine started.
It was the phone of a friend of mine and it already worked with some custom rom. But (if i understood right) he erased everything with fastboot.
I don't know if this is really version 32A, because "G" should always be with 32B. The other thing is that the phone is from Vodafone Germany, but in Germany there normally is no 32A - it's only 32B. That's why i don't really know which files to use for the phone.
Did you already make your goldcard? And if so, do you know if it's working?
I still have the goldcard I originally used to put cyonogenmod on my phone, but it's not working now. I bought a new sdcard and made a new goldcard but it won't work either.
try to remove the battery for 5 mins, when is removed click some times power button; reinsert battery and try to go in recovery.... i had same problem and i solved with this method
@ dante96: No, that's not working for me - still just get the Vodafone screen. I think that everything on the phone was erased and without recovery on it i won't be able to recovery-mode, am i right?
Yesterday something weird happened. I just tried a
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and i got a lot of output - about CID, SuperCID, device-number, partitions and whatever, but i hadn't the time to copy that or try other things.
I tried that command again later and just got "remote: not allowed". It seems like i missed a chance to recover the phone yesterday. :crying:
Ok, what i know right now:
My phone does take sappimg.zip after command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
BUT:
My phone is not 32A as shown, it's 32B - i can't flash files for 32A because of "Lack of heap", so the files seem to be to big to unzip to RAM.
That's why i can't flash 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada to get it running.
For 32B there is only one official rom higher than 3.12.0.0:
3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
Tried to flash this one, it's updating boot und bootloader but after unzipping radio the screen turns black and nothing happens - tried it 3 or 4 times right now.
This got me from:

And i know that my Goldcard is correct - with another SD-card i just get "wrong model id" with the sappimg.zip mentioned above (3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D).
Does anyone have an idea what to do next or why screen turns black?
Some of the official roms for 32A are splittet into one 10 MB and one 90 MB file (for example this one "RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe"), i think i could flash those - BUT i can't find those files for 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada. Anyone does?
Can you get those files from the temp folder?
5[Strogino] said:
1. Run Ruu
2. Don't flash, but go to temp folder and search for rom.zip or nbh-file
3. Rename to SAPPIMG.ZIP (if zip) or SAPPIMG.NBH (if nbh).
4. Place file to root it sdcard. Exit from ruu.
5. Turn phone off, then turn on by pressing and holding volumedown + power
6. Phone will start into hboot-mode and search for rom. Then it will flash.

Check htcdev.com under the unlock bootloader section for files.
Got mine back to life.
I flashed SPL 1.76.0013 from htcdev.com (Vodafone generic) and tried to install "3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D" again. With this SPL he managed to flash the radio but aborted afterwards.
Back on 1.33.0013 i tried the same rom again, now he flashed all of it. The phone is working so far - now i have to try to get a non-perfect SPL on it and afterwards a custom rom...
Code:
sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp10000)
cpld-10

Was the Bootloader locked or unlocked when you got that to work?
I flashed the SPL from htcdev when it was locked. Then they sent me an unlock-token which i just tried, so it was unlocked afterwards.
But i think i had to lock it again with
Code:
fastboot oem lock
to let the phone take those sappimg.zip without error.
Now i'm stuck again - i want Cyanogenmod on the HTC. But i can't get a non-perfect SPL with update.zip on it (and also no engineering SPL), in recovery-mode it just says "E: Signature verification failed - installation aborted" - but those SPL are signed.
Looks like i have to read some more.
Did you rename the engineering SPL to sappimg.zip and try it in HBoot?

No, copied it to SD-card and renamed it to "update.zip". Then i bootet in Recovery-Mode with Home+Power and applied the update.zip from SD-card. This gave me the error from above.
I think the phone won't take it in hboot when it's renamed to sappimg.zip.
If you SPL is perfected you need to follow these instructions
1. Create a Goldcard.
2. Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
3. Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
4. Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
5. Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
6. (Upgrade to the rooted ROM of your choice).
That didn't work, because my main-version was to high.
I rootet the phone with this tutorial and got the recovery on my phone.
Afterwards i installed an engineering SPL in recovery-mode. With this i got back to "1.91.162.1 Vodafone Germany DRC92".
I rootet the phone again with the tutorial above and installed Cyanogenmod.
Everything working fine! :angel:

Good to hear you got it working.
I got my mainver from 3.12.0.0 to 3.57.0.0 by getting the file from the temp folder but it didn't really help me.
I think the problem must be the goldcard. I'll try borrowing my Dad's phone this weekend and see if I can fix it.
