Trying to downgrade to 1.5 and getting 'Model ID Incorrect'

Hi all
Using instructions from here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
To downgrade my Vodafone UK 32B Magic from 1.6 to 1.5 but after trying to HBOOT with the SAPPIMG.nbh provided, it gets so far then fails saying 'Model ID Incorrect'.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Do u formatt your sdcard in FAT32 full mod? Not quick format!

Yes I did. And just to be certain i've just done it again and I get the same error. It looks like it is doing it, then it says something like 'Checking signature' then the error comes up.

Do you put the sappimg.nbh in root of sdcard? Not in folder.

Yes, it finds the file. It is the only file on my SD card, not in a folder. It asks if I want to continue. Blue progress bar appears in the top right of the screen, it goes all the way (takes about 1-2 mins) then the message 'Model ID Incorrect' appears.

Man... try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133

Hmmm. The reason I went to for http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod as a set of instructions is it was all on one page, looked fairly simple and it was recommended by someone with the same phone as me.
The other link looks complicated and I haven't got a clue what it does.

Maybe you need create a Goldcard, and the other link can help you make this.
I think. It´s a tip.

Anyone got any further on how to downgrade 1.6 to 1.5 on a Vodafone 32B Magic without using the Goldcard method?

I'm suffering the same problem, is this problem documented anywhere else and apart from the GoldCard method are there any other solutions?

Hey guys I'm new to this android hacking scene but I've finally managed to do it after doing near enough everything the wrong way lol
I am also using the vodafone 32b UK phone (well its my sisters really ) and I also used the same 'CyanogenMod' guide to do what I wanted (root/custom roms at last!)
Before i go any further though... are you all wanting to downgrade to simply install custom roms etc.. or is it for different reasons?
If its for different reasons then I have no idea on how to downgrade but for the other thing then I can probably help you out! I won't waste my time typing it out yet though if its not what is needed..

Hi, yes I want to downgrade so I can install custom ROMs.

I too had this problem with a Vodafone UK 32B Magic trying the "Downgrading from 1.6 TO 1.5 and Rooting for T-Mobile MT3G" method.
But when I tried the alternative "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" method at that link, in other words using the Android SDK & fastboot to boot the cm-recovery-1.4, that worked like a dream.
So I didn't need to go the goldcard route.

This is good news sandersw.
Where is the easiest step by step for the method you suggest?

Perfect Spl and donut. Question.

hello guys
I have a simple question to ask to "experts." people..
I read and I have documented a lot on how to try to get root on Magic 32B
Vodafone, with perfect spl, donut ... I saw that there are many people who, like
me, can not get root. I personally have tried all the solutions
possible, that are on this forum, and I start to list them.
the final answer is always the same, "fastboot remote: not allow", or other
errors ..
My question is there really a way to get root on this type of
terminal?
thanks

Have you tried goldcard method? thats what i had to do for my voda magic

The trouble is to use the Goldcard method you need a Rom version higher than the one you are currently using which just doesn't exist for a lot of new Voda UK users who currently have perfected SPLs along with the latest firmware.

Same thing happens to me. I think we will have to wait for a later rom without a perfected spl to become available. Could be some time!

is in fact as I said I tried all methods to get root, but no luck ... this time at HTC have managed to block our magic .........

Yes its possible
It is possible to root a MT3G with an official fw of 1.6 (donut). Thanks to Amon_Ra's gold card method. Again, it is possible, just keep trying. Don't forget to wipe and make the gold card properly. Again and again, it is possible so quit crying and start working your magic. Right now, I had SPL 000006 (hard SPL, NTT Docomo Japan) and flashed to 2010. <- - -still trying to downgrade to cupcake. My donut is keeping me from unlocking my network. Well, goodluck.

I have a UK Vodafone HTC Magic with a Perfected SPL and have had no end of headaches trying to get the horrible little thing rooted

Now is this or is this not a perfected SPL "1.33.0007" as I cant do jack with it nor can I get any computer to recognize it when it's in fastboot connected to a PC...*sigh* (although it will when it's turned on)
Now assuming the above is correct and it is a perfected spl will the below work:
Step 1
Flash the phone with the 32A ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) this being a higher rom version than my own from Amon_RA's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218)
Step 2
Change the radio (any recommendations?) back to that of a 32B HTC Magic device and install CyanogenMod using the info again from a different Amon_RA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1)
Step 3
Sit back and bathe in the glory of my finally rooted HTC Magic?
Thanks in advance for any and all help even if it's just a quick reply to tell me I'm off my trolley and it's a sure fire way to brick my phone

Has anyone managed to get anywhere with this hardware. I have exactly the same version of hardware and have not been able to get it to connect to the pc in fastboot.
I would imagine that a lot of people are in the same position, with the same hardware so could someone point us in the right direction please.

Yes, 1.33.0007 is a perfected SPL, but nevertheless you should get fastboot to recognize your phone. Did you properly install the Android SDK USB drivers?

I had the same perfected SPL on my 32B but (luckily) with Android 1.5 CRC24.
I think it should work if you flash a "official" vodafone 1.5 CRC24 1.33.0007 image, then install flashrec on Android, change the recovery Image, boot into recovery mode and flash an engineering spl. Thats basically what I did, except for the downgrade to 1.5.
AFAIK on 1.33.0007 you should be able to downgrade without a goldcard.

Same Version
Hello everybody,
i have the same phone with the same SPL, too.
My Problem is when i try to flash the sappimg.zip with the POWER on and Volume down methode, everything wents fine.
But after reading the Update File i end up with an error like:
"Main Version is older".
Don't know what to do...
Phone HTC Sapphire (Magic) 32B Ship S-ON G
SPL(hboot): 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
I already tryed a Goldcard, but no luck at all
Any Ideas.
I readed 2 Threads, they got a problem with theire devices,
it also was an 32B Magic and they wanted to do an update, too.
And they ended up with the same error message, so they tryed
to flash a 32A Image, and then the 32B, and it worked.
But i am worried, don't want to brick my device.
Anybody out there, with an idea?
Greeting
ZabbensX

i got the exact same problem. waiting for answers...

If you are running Donut Rom DRC92 then at the moment you are stuck. We need to wait until a higher firmware with a non-perfected SPL is released. If you are running a Cupcake Rom (starts with a C) then you can upgrade fine. I'm in the same situation after bricking my first phone using a RUU (they are for 32As only). Luckily Vodafone replaced it under warranty but I have ended up with the perfected SPL.
After having root and now unable to get root I can't say I miss it much. It makes you think what do you need root for? One of the reasons was the ability to flash custom roms but no disrespect to all the Hero Rom developers but NONE of them run well on a 32B Magic. Cyanogens software is good but what does it do that stock firmware doesn't? Any way hopefully Eclair won't be long, a new Rom will be released and we can all change to an engineering SPL and all will be jolly again.

what's ur OS ? Can HTC sync read ur device ?

No HTC Sync doesn't recognize my phone

Thats the reason I want to use the 32A rom as it's newer then my current rom and so it *should* hopefully flash the phone including the spl and then I can change the radio back to that of a 32B device
also what do you mean about being able to change to an engineering spl in Eclair?
Also I've never been able to get HTC Sync to work ever =[ in both xp or vista, and never been able to get the drivers working properly however I am yet to try with Ubuntu

You should be able to get both fastboot and adb to recognise your phone although you won't be able to do anything. That sounds like a driver issue. If you go to the HTC website and download the latest drivers (pick the ones for the HTC branded magic) you should be ok. Try the link below.
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
As for flashing a 32a rom then changing the radio, good luck with that after already bricking one phone I haven't got the balls to try. If you do try and it works please post here exactly what you done as many people will thank you.
Lastly what I'm waiting for is a higher rom version which will probably be eclair (Android 2.0) which comes with a non-perfected SPL. Then the devs on here can get the relentless rooter to work on our phones.

u cant access it unless u enable USB debugging. If u cant pass activation, then ur screwed until u activate it with 3G

hacker1 suggested this:
Okay I post this as a private message because I don't know if I can post the links to the images on an official board.
There are basically 2 methods for flashing/rooting the 1.33.0007.
Method 1:
1.Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH
2. rename to sappimg.nbh and copy to sdcard
3. start magic with volume down+power
4. confirm with trackball
5. If everything works ok, follow 8. on method 2
If this fails with "Main version older" then copy sappimg.nbh to a goldcard and try again. (Some brands of SD-Cards are known to be incompatible with a goldcard, so you might need to try some different ones)
If it fails to flash with a goldcard you need method 2:
1. Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH (if you don't have it already)
2. Download 32A Image
3. rename 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and copy to goldcard
4. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
5. turn off phone
6. delete sappimg.zip from goldcard and copy the "Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH" as sappimg.nbh to sdcard
7. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
8. after restarting you should now be at Android 1.5 CRC24, install flashrec.apk to phone, change recovery image, boot into recovery and flash engineering spl.
Hope this will help you.

Hello, nice forum you have here
I have the following problem:
Recently I wanted to flash my Vodafone Magic (Android 1.6 SPL 1.33.0007) with Cyanogenic Mod.
Since I have a "perfect" SPL, I've tried it with a gold card. Everything went well so far. Only apparently I had made a version for the 32A, then stood for in fastboot Ship S-OFF H and I could only make recovery for the HTC version of RA, rather than the Google version. I had taken here -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (SPL engineering had v1.33.2010) the rom but works as well and booted normally.
anyway I wanted to be the recovery of RA have wrote -> HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip CM 4.2.5 and later.
The flash itself went well, but I stayed in the HTC bootscreen Magic hang himself and it did nothing more.
In another forum I was told that what I have by gold card (power + vol down) flashed (the sappimg.zip) was just for the 32A, and it therefore did not go.
Jetz, I wanted to ask what am I then can take the 32B, then to flash it to the cyanogenic mod? Because irgednwie I'm a little confused at the 10,000 versions at XDA dev .....
I hope someone can help me there. I'm just glad that the phone because I did not have gebricked garkeine backup (duchzufall had found it here in the forum, the firmware vodafone stock and re-flashed)
thank you in advance
-edit -
ah, I'm stupid.
The stock firmware I had was re-flashed V1.5 .. have then by Flashrecovery the CMrecovery flashed and book now funzt everything.

Hi guys,
Recently picked up a White 32A Magic and am having difficulties with it. Info is:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30
Laptop is loaded with working drivers as have previously flashed two others 32A's with CyanogenMod.
The phone gives the FAILED (remote: not allow) response when trying to fastboot into RA_Amon's latest Hero recovery image.
Am I stuck here?
It looks like I can't goldcard it because I need to flash to a higher ROM and there is not one available.
Yet Amon_RA states specifically in his Hero recovery thread that "it will also work on the 32A Sapphire if you flashed the 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL".
If it's of any use, I believe the phone originated in Thailand (has the CN Thai Keyboard).
Help?
Would appreciate any input.
Thanks
Scott

Quick question... did you bother to read any of the stickies on top of this section of the board?

Sure did, wanna direct me to which one answers my question?
Also searched, and found conflicting information, hence started a thread.

I would, except I'm not familiar with which SPL to use with the new radio, since that kind of opens up a few more possible ways to get bricked.

Exactly why I started a new thread. There is no thread I can find, nor external site, which already covers my exact situation.

U'r not searching or reading at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218

I've reread your post several times and still don't understand why you can't use a goldcard. That's a perfected SPL but I'm 99.9% sure it's rootable. You can't use fastboot because you need an ENG SPL. A goldcard downgrades or just basically changes your SPL/Radio, why would you want to go to a "higher" aka upgrade your rom? That might just bring you to an unrootable SPL. You should be able to downgrade it using a goldcard. Maybe this will help? I have a hero with basically the same info that you've provided and simply used flashrec to root it. I did have to use a goldcard though. I don't see why you can't use a goldcard. Do you know what a goldcard does? I doubt it.
I love how you say it looks like it doesn't work with a goldcard. Did you TRY it?

This means this RUU is ONLY FOR the MyTouch3g (Sapphire 32B)

Not sure what this is ? (i mean,what is a full RUU froyo update for Sapphire)???

The rule of thumb is if you don't know what something is, chances are YOU DON'T NEED IT.
This is the official update to Android 2.2.1 (no Sense) for the MyTouch3G, which is the american version of the Sapphire 32B. As your country is Serbia, where the 32A was distributed, you should stay away from this.

Yeah but i got my phone in Switzerland ,so i got a 32b sadly.
I'd like to try this...are there any spl/radio req.?

You're better off using one of the custom, rooted ROMs based on this.

unable to root

i've tried every method i could find (and understand) to try to reroot my phone to no avail.
ive done the unlockr method of downgrading using sappimg.nbh - including using a goldcard but i get an error that it failed and that its an older version (i just cant remember wat the exact message was)
ive done the universal unlocker thats supposed to work on the 2.2.1 but it freezes (super one click or somethign)
flashrec wont work obviously cuz i cant downgrade to 1.5
anything else i can try? im no expert obviously..but does this mean that i have to wait till a new, updated method is out to root my phone? since this is the latest tmobile release?

What if I'm already on 2.2.1? What rom out there would be higher than that? I get the same Main Version Older message that they are? Is it referring to my hboot which is 1.33.0013?

did it...but ill try this

through settings i go to about phone and it says i have android version 2.2.1
i went through this process already but ill try it again because in the steps i took, i dont remember doing the reverse string thing. redownloading sappimg.zip now
appreciate the help

went through flashing sappimg...after a while it just says main version is older! update fail! do you want to reboot device?
ive rooted before and none of the processes ive used before are working. im thinking that i just need to be patient until a new method/adjustment comes out. but then again, im a newb.

So still new to rooting and custom roms and what not....bottom line is that this is for my T-Mobile mytouch 3g correct? I'm running the beatsmod from the forum runs pretty well I want to try this but I have a question do I need the new radio and spl? Or just flash in recovery mode?
can anyone give me an answer please?

Lol . Search on the Android software development .. I think there are some apk`s that could help you with rooting ( or google one click root ) . After that you can instal a custom recovery by installing RomManager and install your desired recovery from there.
Hope I`ve made some sense ...Pm me if you don`t manage to do it.

ive done the superclick method and it went nowhere but i see some further instructions that ill try with it. if i can get it rooted, ill be bale to manage from there hopefully with the recovery and the roms. even the universal one click root apk is useless now since 2.2.1 has patched the loophole it used to use.
ill give it a shot..l

great...superoneclick worked for me...thats what i get for trying to do things too quick...i actually tried using this before but it didnt work and now i see the reason y (too stupid to read instructions)

my phone is now rooted (i can grant superuser permissions)...now ill go on to installing a custom recovery and rom
sorry to those that had to put time into helping me due to me not doing my part and thanks for your help

and the beat goes on..
everything's getting weird now. my phone got rooted but i've been unable to install a custom recovery (amon_ra's). when i put in the appropriate command into terminal, i get an error that it failed or its not found and apparently its an issue with the root method that worked for me. yes i did use rom manager and flashed a recovery using rom manager but have been unable to boot into recovery. the tmobile screen comes up and the phone goes nowhere frmo there until i pull the battery and restart it.
now im trying another method to root and the whole sdk method is messing up. if i type fastboot devices into command prompt im told that theres a dsl missing. if i type adb shell or adb devices, adb is not a recognized command.
im considering accepting that all i can get is root and not a custom rom/recovery
