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?

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.

MyTouch 3g 1.2 Fastboot issue

Hey guys, I have spent the last 8 hours trying to figure this out.
I have a MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I want to root it and install Cyanogen's new ROM. I have been following the rooting guide from TheUnlckr.com.
I am able to complete everything fine (I needed to substitute the sappimg for the Sapphire one to make it work), but it finally completed.
When I go to fastboot with SDK, I can see my device, so everything looks fine. However, when I go to flash the radio, hboot, and recovery images, I get a error that says:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...FAILED <remote: not allow>
finished. total time: 0.016s
This is the pattern for each of the files I try to flash...
This is where I'm at, and I haven't even gotten to flashing the ROM yet. So, I currently just have a stock device. Can someone please help me out?
I tried using the following sappimg:
2.53.707.2_-_sappimg
SAPPIMG_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4_release_signed
the following SPL:
update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed
the following recovery images:
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk
flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2
flashrec-20090815
I'm clearly all over the place now. Someone please point me in the right direction. I tried several different ways to fix it, but none of them worked. The most reason I tried was the method of using the flashrec to flash a recovery image while the phone is on, instead of fastbooting it. That didn't work because it kept saying it was the wrong image for the phone.
Thanks in advance guys. And believe me, I've been searching and searching.

before you can flash anything with fastboot, you have to shoehorn that engineering SPL into the phone somehow (probably have to make a goldcard, but I don't know for sure on the 1.2 mytouch)
which rooting guide are you using? (there are many different ones on unlockr, some of which are terribly obsolete)
also, flashrec isn't a recovery image, its a one-click rooting app that only works on android 1.5 (pretty sure the 1.2 mytouch only runs 1.6)

I also successfully created a goldcard, and installed all the ADB stuff. The part that's hanging me up is the flashing of the recovery image via fastboot usb.
I'm so close! I have successfully rooted two other mytouch devices, but they were not the 1.2 version.
Any more help would be great!

what "sapphire" image did you substitute? and what happened when you tried to use the sappimg that they gave you in the instructions?

When I tried using that image, it just said "wrong file for this phone" or something like that. I know the goldcard was done right, though, because it works with another sappimg. I'm trying to follow cryptsmoker's guide now. I'm going to try and use the engineering img/SPL now. We'll see how it goes.

Ok, now I'm getting frustrated.
Here is my info:

I just got the Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
This happens with every sappimg I use except T-Mobile 2.10.531.4. I'm sure that's the stock one, so that's probably why. I'm just so ticked.

To clarify again, After I hboot the sappimg, I reboot and instead of being taken to the Magic screen, I'm taken to a standard MyTouch splash, then Android splash, then MyTouch setup screen. My touchscreen works the entire time. Is this because I basically just reinstalled the stock ROM?
I just can't seem to get ANY other sappimg to work beside the stock one. I've used three different goldcards and all of them work the exact same way.
Please help!
Dane

yeah, you are just reinstalling the stock files (stock SPL and radio)
just because the t-mobile sappimg works doesn't mean you made the goldcard right.
the point of the goldcard is to trick the phone into installing a non-stock sappimg, you could take a brand new SD card, put the stock sappimg on it and you would still be able to flash it using vol-down+power
open the goldcard.img in HxD and make sure it contains all the lines (including all of line 170), if it doesn't then you need to start over from the beginning (get cid again, reverse it again, get a new goldcard.img)
If goldcard.img is ok, open the sd card in HxD again and make sure all of the first 170 lines of the sd card match the goldcard.img
also, some SD cards just don't work for making goldcards. I used a lexar 1gb, and kingston 2gb cards are reported to work

I didn't paste over the entire 170 line while making the goldcard. I used the "select" feature and chose 0-170...that could be my mistake. Here we go again!

I actually never got this to work the first time. I was really excited since I heard I would be getting the T-Mobile update soon, but then I read a little further and saw that the 2.1 is not yet included...so, I will be figuring this out today, mark my words!
Wish me luck!
Dane

I had a similar problem and it was the goldcard. Although I had made the goldcard and it worked before, using the same goldcard I get the same error message as you. I made a new goldcard and it worked flawlessly to flash using fastboot. Make sure you are using one of the brands that are know to work.

OK, new problem now. I installed everything and got it all to work. I actually had the stock cm rom working (an out of date version from the unlockr). Well, I tried to update and I started by flashing the 6.35.16.19 radio. Apparently that worked but now nothing else will.
In the HBOOT screen, I see this:

Every time I try and update the Sappimg file, I get stuck at the updating phase of the radio_v2 portion. Please help guys, I don't know enough about this to figure it out and it's really killing me!
I figure I need to get back to the stock radio I started with (3.22 or whatever), but I can't. Even when I try to flash the radio in fastboot, it takes way too long and never finishes.
Your speedy replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Got your pm.
Facts: STOP MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE.....
You are working in the blind... mixing bad spl and radio combos.....
So STOP what you doing and read and understand before you continue.
You can't just take any sappimg.zip and apply it... I has complete partitions layout... like the spl, radio, recovery ect...
So if you take whatever you find on the net and apply it, you will **** your device up... just like you did now...
Having the 6.35 radio and a perfected 1.33 spl... Just bad for business!
What is your current status:
Access to adb?
Access to fastboot?
Access to recovery?
Access to rom/system?
Also post fastboot info...
Then we can take it from there :0)
And for gods sake... STOP flashing stuff.

I have access to adb, fastboot, and hboot. No ROM/system or recovery.
Clarification: Since I cannot access the system of the phone, I do NOT have access to ADB. I cannot see the device when I type in 'adb devices' within the AndroidSDK\tools path.
Fastboot info:

the recovery: recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
I have since tried to go into one of your other threads and at least match up my SPL/Radio combo. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

OK.... you are now in a god situation...
You have a good combo and eng spl...
We can work with this....
1) boot into fastboot
2)download the fastboot commander (magic).... check my signature
3)start the tool... does it print the device info?
If yes, do this:
Go to the magic 32A tab.
Push "flash old".
IF all successful, then go to "misc" tab and push "reboot device".
When device has rebooted, push "print device info".
Now copy all text and posted here...
IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL...
Just take the output + the content of the "actual tab" and post here....
Again, IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL!
If the tool does not print the device info, then post here...

HTC Magic Rooting - Which Procedure??

Ok, i just want to say hello to all members, and i hope you'll be abe to help me.

I have downloaded and installed the HTC Sense update on this phone few months ago. (I couldn't download the Sense update from the HTC site with my phone's serial number that i entered, instead I found and downloaded the update here on the forum, that someone posted.)
Before the update, my phone SPL was 1 33 something and radio was 2 22 something if I remember correctly.
I have tried this:
How to root the HTC magic in one click guide on unlockr site (cannot provide you the link cause i'm a noob user and cand post links
I wanted to do the rooting the easy way but it was a "no go" i guess
With the FlashRec.apk application couldn't get past the "backup failed" message, because of the SPL i guess??
Then i tried this, because the first article said at the and that i need to unroot the phone with this guide "how to unroot your mytouch 3g" guide also from unlockr site.
I downloaded the sappimg NBH file from the provided link and put it in the root of the SD card, tried the fastboot (volume down + power button) but i could flash the phone, got the "wrong main version" message.
At the end of the article it says that the known issue is
"Issue: Phone says that the wrong Main Version is Older or Wrong Model ID"
and that the solution is:
"Solution: Use our Goldcard Method instead."
I am going to buy a gold card tomorrow, and i would be very thankful if you could point me into the right direction and give me some explanations and hints what should i do next, considering that i have a very "root unfriendly" versions of SPL and Radio. All help is appreciated.

You don't buy a gold card, you make one with an ordinary microsd card and some software you download. Here are instrucitons to get you started:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

And since the Wiki is down, go to this thread and follow those instructions.

Ok, guys, i made the Goldcard, according to the instructions on the unlockr site, and everything seems ok. I get the problem when i try to load SAPPIMG file from HBOOT, it picks up the sappimg file and start loading it but does not ask me to flash or anything similar, just finishes the process of checking and stays in the HBOOT screen, like nothing happened. Could this be because of a 1.76.0009 perfected SPL that my Magic has? Can my magic be even rooted?
I have done the Goldcard rooting method on the unlockr site, just for the info.

It should tell you to push "action" to continue after it checks the sappimg, with the "action" being to push the trackball.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

I've made it. It's rooted now.
Used instructions for rooting 1.76.0009, from Orange_24 (whom i thank soooo much)
I have installed Amon_RA's recovery image RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.
I am still having problems.
I can't install [32a][3.22][6.35] CM6 - FroyoRedux Mod v1.5 (08/01/2010) Froyo Supreme ROM. I start recovery mode (home + power) button, and start Flash Zip form sdcard (i previously copied the CM6-FroyoRedux-v1.5-32a-blk.zip file to the sdcard root) and I always get the "verification failed" message" and that some file is corrupted (it's not the same file always).
My SPL and Radio now are:
SAPHHIRE PVT 32A ENG S OFF H
HBOOT 1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
6.35.xxx

Check that the ZIP file was downloaded correctly and that your SD card isn't broken. Best way to check would be to copy a file on your card and check if it has the same MD5 sum as on the computer.

God da*n it!
Why do I have problems every step of the way!!??
I have checked the MD5 and managed to install the ROM. Now i'm stuck at the infinite boot screen. Please help, i'm really running out of patience. (I have made Nand backup and stored it on my PC if all else fails).
Don't get me wrong, but from this little experience that i have until now i got the feeling that the rooting concept is just too cumbersome and that all this problems and inconsitencies are the reason why many people never let them selves into the rooting thing. I just hope the reward will be proportional to the amount of problems that an average ROOT beginner user comes in contact for the first time.

PLEASE HELP THIS IS URGENT!!!
I might have bricked my phone. After succesfull install of CM6, my phone went to boot loop, so i tried to NAND restrore my phone. I got the error message to do the NAND restore. I got the error message, saying that to do it from the adb. I didnt know how to do it, so i tried to put some other ROM, just to get the phone working. I tried with the Amon RA's clean donut ROM. Also got the infinite boot. So i tried other recovery, the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H, flashed it through recovery adb and got the sporadic restarts after flashing when i go into the recovery mode.
After that i flashed the recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img from fastboot because this recovery is mentioned on the unlockr site instructions on how to install custom ROM. Now i cant get into recovery mode, and cant flash none of the above mentioned recoveries from fastboot.
I really need help and information is my phone bricked. Please, i have been on my computer for the whole weekend, messing around with my android phone.

ill look into wut u can do..

Flash this recovery: http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fi...download=recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img and use only ROMs made for NEW RADIO/NR/6.35. Either that, or flash the old radio/spl using eyegor's Radio Switcher (see dev thread).

^ Thank you in advance
The current state of the phone is, just to give you info:
Engineering SPL, S-OFF, HBOOT is 1.76.2007, Radio 6.35.08.29, recovery (flashed from Fast Boot) recovery-RAv1.2.0H which is stuck at boot loop, and Amon RA's clean donut ROM which is also stuck at boot loop.
I suppose the only way to fix this problem is to use adb from Fastboot USB or using gold card?
What are the symptoms of a definitively bricked phone?

ricmiester, as far as I remember CPLD-13 is for MyTouch 3G Fender / LE, which means you flashed the wrong radio and spl. Make a goldcard and use the rooting tutorial at the unlockr (google it) to fix it.

i can put it into fastboot and thats really it.it boots but stays on htc magic and its not letting me go into recovery also when i try and change the radio it doesnt let me

No. Since you were able to flash the wrong sappimg (congrats, by the way), I'm guessing it's working just fine. Follow the rooting tutorial at the unlockr.

ahhah ok ill try it again ill massage back with progress in a minute

ok i put the sappimg on the memory card then fastbooted it when i clicked the trackball it froze on system its stuck unziping

Follow this tutorial by DonJuan692006 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617 starting with "II. Flash the Sappimg file". Are you sure it froze and it's not just thinking?

ok ill this one if it doesnt work ima go into ustream or something
it freezes on system while unzipping i can go into ustram if you want

What SPL and Radio do you have now? Is it still S-OFF? If so, try only flashing the hboot, radio and recovery - steps 4-7. I honestly have no idea what's going wrong...

my phone died on the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but got past radio but now s-on is now on

WTF? What do you mean "died"?! Are you at least back to the stock radio and SPL? Does your phone boot into recovery (hold down home and press power) or into normal mode?
If you're back to stock radio and SPL you should now be able to start the tutorial once again and it shouldn't fail on flashing sappimg this time. At least I hope so
Repost your fastboot info.

ok i got the sappimg to work phone didnt boot tho going to continue tutorial

yeeessss i finally got in recovery point me to the best rom and should update spl and radio

Okay, great! Now you should be running your stock SPL and radio (which means S-ON), but you can go into the modded recovery by holding down home and pressing power.
If you still have the 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.20 radio you need to flash the stock ones, otherwise no ROM will work!
As for a ROM, I really don't know which one would be best for you, but you can check out the ROM bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682243 - last section of the first post is for your phone - MT3G 1.2 / LE Fender.

Following the steps from the above link, I set about trying to get 2.2 on my phone. I'm currently at the stage of completing my downgrade to Donut OTA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=807899), but receive failures when trying to apply the last update (2.2 OTA). I have lost all data connectivity and am unable to pass the 'Welcome to Android' screen due to my inability to login to my google account. 4 corner 'bypass method' doesn't appear to work and I'm somewhat stranded.
This being the case I am unable to reflash my recovery in order to move forward from here and unable to apply my nandroid backup. I downloaded an official RUU to try format my phone back to 1.6 but the executable refuses to recognise my phone via USB.Apologies if I'm missing an obvious step to bring my phone back but I'm not all experienced in doing this.
I nearly had some luck with an RUU through fastboot USB, but that also failed, asking for a correct customer ID, asking me to get the right RUU. 99% sure I had it.
Desperate for some help.
Any help would hugely be appreciated.
