If you have the 2010 engineering spl do you need to flash the 2005? Or is the 2005 a 32B spl and is needed with a 32B radio?

I bricked a buddy mytouch3g flashing a 32B radio on (but didn't use this method in fastboot), and trying to figure out if it was that or the 32B radio on the 2010 SPL. I assume the method I used to flash the radio (through recovery), but want to be sure. Dont want to brick the replacement thats coming in, hahah.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Didnt you read. this is not for 1.2 mt3g. try looking at unlockr video on how to root 1.2 using goldcard
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tissimo:
I'm iffy on flashing a SPL through a recovery (from the G1/Dream section). If we can access fastboot after the Goldcard can we just flash everything via fastboot?

If we can, does anyone have the exact command sequence to do it? Would it be...

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img (1.33.2005 SPL)

fastboot flash radio radio.img (???? 26I i assume?)

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Amon_RAs v1.6.2?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] techbeck:
Ok, I am following hte OP and am confused...

I did all the steps to revert back to the radio/rom 32b and it says to reboot and apply update. Does the apply update mean one of the CM mods? And if so, is the phone now rooted to 1.6 or is it still 1.5?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] atb80:
After entering "fastboot boot recovery...."

I get the message: "Downloading 'boot.img' ... Faild <remote: not allow>"

Have been trying to flash my device (Vodafone AU Magic 32b) for the last few days, but I always hit the all at the same point. I cannot boot a recovery, currently when i hold home and power it appears with a ! screen I am sure you're all farmiliar with. When trying to launch AmonRA's recovery through fastboot I can get to the point where it says;

sending 'recovery' <4494 kb> ... OKAY [1.688s]
writing 'recovery' .... OKAY [0.001s]
finished. total time: 1.689s

But after this process my phone will remain on the fastboot screen with no changes. When trying the

fastboot boot imgname.img

command my phone will react and freeze up on the launch screen.

So basically, any help on how to advance the process would be great, as I am currently stuck on a 1.5 build. (not actually sure how I got to this point, was loading heaps of different sappimg.nbh/zip files trying to get this to work, and one happend to be vodafone, so I'm sticking to that for now so I can get 3G coverage locally)

Also, whenever I attempt the process I will load the 'How to Fix Perfected SPL' sappimg.zip. And yes, I am using a Goldcard.

Un-Root your T-mobile MyTouch 3G

(and receive back those OTA updates)

- Download this nbh and rename it to sappimg.nbh (MD5 33D958062CC02BB2CEC157F68621D2FF)

- Copy sappimg.nbh to your goldcard (a normal SD might also work if you are using an engineerings SPL, give it a try and let us know :D ).

- Power-off your device

- Insert the goldcard (or SD)

- Power on while holding volume down (of fastboot your device and then press volume down)

- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it.

- Once the flashing is FULLY finished reboot your phone.[/QUOTE]
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ttran001:
Try removing the battery and wait a min or two.

Then hold the back button, insert the battery and then the power if it does not auto start.

Goldcard trouble

new to the whole gold card thing. I followed the tutorial you linked to to create one. I tried a sandisk, gigaworks, and kingston. sandisk and kingston were 2 gb and the gigaworks was 4gb. each card was unreadable after the hex edit and needed to be formatted. Please point me in whatever direction I need to go.:confused:

Thanks, all who put in on this, for making root possible on this phone so soon after it came out. Personal time is something noone gets much of these days and those of us who do not understand all the innerworkings of these little devices appreciate the sacrifice.:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] htciscrap:
Apparently there is more to the zip file than what meets the eye. If you try to open the sappimg.zip in winzip, it says the file is corrupt. However the same file opens in 7-zip. The file contains a 256 characters in the begining which could be some kind of signature. 7-zip ignores it, while winzip doesnt.

Anyways, unless there is a way to sign the zip containing a different hboot image, we can't just create another SAPPIMG.zip that could be tried.

Anyone aware of how to sign the zip?

i just used the double card method used here.

the card that came with the phone was a class 2 which i used for the goldcard.

and i had intentions on moving to a class 6 for ported roms.

having the goldcard on a separate card made it easier to root both phones
