Main version check fail

A couple days ago, I found this phone (a T-Mobile myTouch 3G with a 3.5mm headphone jack, apparently version 1.2) running CM(5? 6? honestly don't remember) and decided to revert it back to stock. Worst mistake of my life.

Throughout getting back to stock, I have (a) unlocked the phone on HTCDev and downloaded their hboot version, (b) wiped system through fastboot on RUU, (c) get goldcard and flash with a stock cupcake image I found on the forums and (d) flash that image with fastboot on RUU mode. None have worked and I'm stuck.

I extracted rom.zip from (number 57) "2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35" on the official list of RUUs. With my phone in RUU mode, I did the following and got the output:

Code:

> sudo ~me/bin/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/fastboot flash zip rom.zip
sending 'zip' (62177 KB)...
OKAY [ 13.218s]
writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) checking model ID...
(bootloader) checking custom ID...
(bootloader) checking main version...
FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)
finished. total time: 33.892s

After further googling, I found that meant that the main version was higher than what was getting flashed. I was pretty confused as I couldn't find a higher version, but I stand corrected, as my phone apparently has it:

Code:

> sudo ~me/bin/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.57.0.0
finished. total time: 0.001s

I have no idea why it's like that (perhaps the HTC hboot update gave it that, or perhaps whenever I installed CM on it I found that), nor what main-version is.

At the moment, my phone shows this at the top in RUU mode:
Code:

*** RELOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.20.25
Jan 31 2012.14:43:52

Does anyone have advice on how I might get out of this hole I have created for myself? If the phone is bricked, that's meh, but I'd really like to get this working. I do understand that this phone is really old and that most people don't have it, so any help is appreciated.
