Moving from HBOOT-1.33.0006 without Goldcard

---

I previously had this phone running Cyanogenmod 6 so skip the n00b bashing. I know wtf I'm doing.

My situation is pretty unique.

I came to Israel from Philadelphia with a myTouch3G about a week ago with Cyan Recovery and Cyan 6 installed. No problems. I put in an Israel SIM Card into my phone and no matter what I tried it would keep crashing the phone process.

Thinking the problem would be fixed if I flashed stock, I did just that and unrooted my phone completely.

The phone is now running stock recovery with 1.6 stock. Israeli SIM card STILL crashes the phone process.

I can't get past the intro wizard because I don't have service. Four corners doesn't work. I would have one click rooted days ago if I could get past it.

My SPL is 1.33.0006 (SAPP300000).

I am trying to get a different SPL onto the phone without a Goldcard so I can root it. I attempted to make a gold card already many times but I had to use a Windows application to get the CID so I don't think it worked because after it analysis the update.zip I get a "Version Mismatch" error.

If someone could recommend a signed SPL that my phone will accept that would then allow me to move on from there I think I'd be able to get past this issue. If I could simply get a custom recovery on this phone I could get back to Froyo where the 4 corners trick does work (or just restore from nandroid back Cyan 6).

The only way I have to copy stuff to an sdcard at the moment is through a working blackberry pearl I have lying around.

Drop me any suggestions. I'll be glad to try them.

Simple... take out your sim-card... then finish the reg part(just skip most of it).. then root... flash custom recovery.. flash eng spl... Full control again :0)

You can also finish the reg part using a wifi :0)
Just take the sim out!

Just tried that. Once I turn the phone on I see the Android intro logo and when I tap it I get a new screen that simply says "No SIM card in Phone" and the only button there is for Emergency calls.

It doesn't let me do anything from that point at all. I can't move past this screen.
