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:

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?

[NOT WORKING] Switch 1.76.0007 'Perfected' SPL to 1.76.2007 "Engineering' SPL!!!

NOTE: THIS MIGHT NOT WORK IF YOU INSTALLED THE HTC RUU USING A GOLD CARD IN THE FIRST PLACE... I'M LOOKING FOR TESTERS TO CONFIRM THIS.
I tried this when I first ended up with 1.76.0007, and it worked, but I didn't want to take a chance trying it again. I thought it was just a coincidence or my eyes were playing tricks on me. I was scared that I would brick my phone...
I finally got the guts to try it again and it worked!
Here's how...
You'll need:
- HTC 2.53.707.2 Test Build SAPPIMG.zip (Thanks Amon_RA!!)
http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
- 1.76.2007 'Engineering' SPL
http://rapidshare.com/files/313034025/update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip
- 6.35.07.29 32A Radio Image
http://rapidshare.com/files/313035429/radio-6.35.07.29-32A.zip
- Amon_RA Hero Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
- Gold Card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
Caveats!!!
- Your splash screen will be changed to the HTC MAGIC screen and not your wireless provider's screen. I know of no way to change this.
- This might brick your phone... I was sweating bullets when I was running this on my phone because I wasn't sure it would work, and I'm still not 100% sure this will work for everyone. YMMV
Steps:
- Create your Gold Card! This is not just a suggestion. You need a proper gold card before starting. I used the card that came with my phone and it worked fine.
- Back up whatever you can from your existing setup. You can't go back and can't recovery anything here. Google sync should backup most of your stuff though.
- Shut off your phone and put the 2.53.707.2-sappimg.zip file on your gold card. Make sure it's named 'sappimg.zip'. Put the gold card in your phone.
- Turn on your phone using VolDown and Power. It will boot into HBOOT mode and within 10 seconds will scan your SD card. Do not press anything at this point! It will find SAPPIMG.zip only if it is named SAPPIMG.zip and not SAPPIMG.zip.zip... Get it? As it's loading SAPPIMG.zip it will show a blue progress bar on the right hand side of the screen.
- It will then check that SAPPIMG.zip is not corrupt.
- When prompted 'Do you want to start update?', press in on the trackwheel (Action key).
- The process will update the SYSTEM, USERDATA, BOOT, BOOTLOADER (SPL), RADIO_V2, RECOVERY and SPLASH.
At this point, you now have 3.22.20.17 32A Radio image and 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL. You can now flash any 32A Recovery and ROM and carry on like nothing happened and you didn't make a big mistake by flashing the HTC RUU. Next time don't be so impatient!
If you decide to stick with this Radio and SPL then I suggest flashing the Amon_RA 32A Recovery and picking a 32A ROM to run.
If you want to flash new HTC 3.03 ROMs using the 1.76.2007 Eng SPL and the new radio, then continue on. There are advantages to this, but at this point it's not for rookies.
Steps
- Download the recovery image, radio image and SPL (hboot) update into a folder of their own.
- Put the update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip onto your SD card.
- Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder you saved all of the files in. This assumes that your Android SDK Tools folder is in your PATH environment variable)
- Boot your phone it fastboot by holding Back and Power.
- Once in FASTBOOT USB, type in these commands, hitting enter after each one.
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.3.2.img
- Once it's finished, turn off your phone by pressing MENU.
- Start up your phone into recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
- Apply the update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip update.
- NOTE THAT THE RECOVERY REQUIRES YOU TO PRESS THE HOME KEY TO SELECT AN OPTION.
- Reboot your phone using the recovery option. Your phone will reboot back into recovery, and will format the CACHE. Don't worry about this, it's supposed to happen. If it doesn't boot back into recovery after a few minutes, pull the battery and power it on while holding the HOME key.
- Once it's booted into recovery mode, shut off your phone by pulling the battery.
- Start it back up into FASTBOOT mode by holding Back and pressing Power.
- You should now see the following on the screen:

If your phone doesn't display exactly this information, then you might have made a mistake along the way and should consider yourself lucky that your phone boots at all. Try again from the beginning.
At this point, you can enter the recovery menu and run the CursorSense update.zip from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
This was probably the closest I came to bricking my phone, but I'm sure it works now.
Good luck and happy rooting!

That won't work because if you Flashed via RUU it'll say that your version is older.
If you only flashed SPL/radio and not rest of the ROM i guess it could work.

it can break the Perfected SPL?
When i was flashed the sense-ui by htc?

You might have a point here... I thinks that maybe I didn't think this through entirely...
Would anybody be willing to test? Just to see...

Quite tempting to try, as I did flash via the RUU. Will look into it.

I've tried it, didn't work, but again who knows it might work for someone. There was a guy who said he got s-off SPL from a regular RUU so you never know.

I tried it on HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
Hong Kong Sense Update from 17/11/09
Same problem NOTHING NEW:
Main Version is older

main version is older, flashed with RUU

i know 2.53.707 sappimg.zip file saved a few people, they also flashed official ruu, but get spl info like this: 1.76.0007(SAPP*****), and s-off.
but for most of us, we get this: 1.76.0007(SAPP10000), and s-on. therefore, we trying to use 2.53.707 sappimg.zip file and get "main version is older, update failed". and, if we use fastboot, it says "remote: not allow".
the only difference is the SAPP model text following 1.76.0007. if it's *****(all "*" symbols, not means any key), security is off, no version check, and it work! if it's 10000(maybe 50000 is also the same but i'm not sure), we stucked at version check.
so, what can we do...

yes, i also found some person get this: spl info like this: 1.76.0007(SAPP*****), and s-off, if in this state, they can flash any rom/spl/radio.
can anybody find how to go to this state? if we can, we can do anything.

I dont know any thing further other than I got 0007 and s-on
so, all I can do is bump...

I have SAP***** for some time, even before i flashed 1.76 SPL but it's s-on, so i think it's not directly related.
P.S. I think i got SAP**** by playing around with different radios and all i can say is *don't* change (especially downgrade) radio unless you're sure what you're doing and/or have a matching SPL.

still no luck searching for a root cure for 1.76.0007

I accidentaly posted this to another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5196720&postcount=7) although it was meant to be posted here:
I was missing the Android Market wich didnt come with the Singapore RUU so just downloaded the the HK RUU, ran it with a gold card (dont know if thats really neccesary) and got Market.
The point being - if people are on the Singapore official update, would it be somehow possible to "patch" the HK RUU files from the temporary folders where it stores the files for the update? To say, replace the original HBOOT with an ENG HBOOT (possibly *.2007?)?
Since Singapore rom version is lower than the HK one..:
Singapore: ROM Version: 3.03.728.4(For Indonesia, Malaysia& Vietnam only)
HK-E: ROM Version: 3.03.990.6
..possibly it would skip the "wrong main version" or whatever it says during the update..?
Am I onto something here?

No because the (zip) files are signed and perfect SPL won't accept flashing them if they are modified.

so is there a newer spl yet?

nobody, help we. amon_ra, and all the developers.. because don't help us??? we need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need either kernel exploit to get root, or HTC signed RUU with 3.x ROM and s-off SPL. period.

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.

*IF* you load the 32A radio and SPL and ROM on your 32B, you may only succeed in bricking your phone.
They are different devices. You can try it if you like, but be ready to throw the phone away.

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-htc-magic/11285-flashen-mit-1-33-0007-spl.html
can anyone help me out and post a translation for me? (I mean someone who can give a translation not from a website unless it's blindingly better then google)
Current translation via google...
edit -
it should be called "flashed with SPL 1.33.0007"

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.
no offense

How to unroot HTC Magic

Hi there
i'm really stuck at the moment and i've been reading threads after threads on this forum and i still couldn't find any solution and no luck with search as well.
my current problem is that i flashed a hero rom (i believe it's called myhero) about half a year ago when i first got it, but now i want to go back to the original Roger rom so that i can update to the new RUU. But i have no luck going back to the original rom at all. Anyone here would like to help?? i dun want to see my data plan go to waste just because of this
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT - 1.33.0009 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO - 3.22.20.17
PS: i tried many different ways, including unlockr's unrooting method, someone's nandroid wiped roger rom etc, but either htc sync said usb error or my fastboot screen said update failed. please help~

Should work using this method, just apply the update while the phone is in fastboot mode.

i tried that but i never knew i need to go into fastboot mode, i will give that a try, thank you very much

You don't usually need it. But if HTC Sync can't find the phone, you can apply the update trough fastboot. Let me hear your result.

yes same as before i get an error 170: usb error, is there any other way :S??

fastboot errors on mine also.

32A Magic Rooting problems

Hey guys, apologies if this is a commonly asked question, but I've spent all day attempting to root my HTC Magic. I've tried methods such as fastboot (get a error message, tried Flashrec with an Amon Ra recovery, that didn't want to work either, and now I really dont know where to go. My phone details are as followed:
32A
HBOOT-1.76.0008 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.19
Can anyone give me a set of instructions that will explain (the more detailed the better) how to Root my HTC Magic, and then install a custom ROM onto it? (looking to get 2.1 onto it) I've got the ADB up and running, so theres a start?
I would love you forever and ever, and perhaps give you a cookie?
thankyou in advance,
james

Erm... If you go into H-Boot (Volume Down + Power) You see 32A (bla bla bla) S-(ON/OFF) and then is it a 'H' or 'G'?
