Yes, that's possible.
1.33.2004 is posted here.

do you know if there is some difference in battery life between ION and the HTC rom?
im on ION now and battery drains very fast, havnt tried stock yet.

cyanogene won't boot on Vodafone 32b

Hi guys.
yesterday i tried to install cyanogene mod.
because i had an perfect spl, i used a Goldcard and flashed this -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)
Everything worked fine. But then i tried to boot/flash the recovery mod but it didn't boot. I tried CM recovery and recovery-RA "G" then out of coriousity it tried the HTC version, and it worked. I thought i have to use the Google version for the 32B from Vodafone?
Anyway, then i wiped and flased HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip and then CM 4.2.5.
(i also only flased the HTC base rom without the CMod but it didnt boot either)
Then i rebooted and got stuck at the HTC MAgic screen forever. i waited like 10 minutes. i tried to make a nandriod backup -> restore but didnt worked either.
I dont know what to do =( now i'm back on original vodafone rom
Buddy, CyanogenMod is for 32A, Vodafone Magics are 32B, you won't be able to boot a 32A image on a 32B device. Sorry.

CyanogenMod is originally built for 32B/Dream users. There are updates that allow it to run on 32A.
Natively your phone should be able to run Cyanogen ROM, but you've somehow flashed the 32A radio, SPL and recovery onto your phone.
You need to get back to the 32B radio and recovery.
This should point you in the right direction.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548834
huh? so why is there a tutorial on the Cyanogen Mod wiki für 32B devices?
--edit--
you mean i flashed a 32A cyanogene rom?
when i flashed via goldcard everything was fine. i could boot into the os
What I'm saying is that by flashing the HTC 2.53 update you've essentially turned your phone into a 32A with less memory. It will boot, but it won't be ideal.
You'd be much better off not using a goldcard for anything and going back to the 32B radio and the G recovery image.
ah okay.
but other methods didnt work for me, because of the SPL version. (wasnt able to boot recovery image from adb with this SPL [fastboot remote: not allow)])
this Relentless Rooter for Magic program didnt work on my pc

Perfect SPL question

Hi!
My magic is 1.33.0006 (Vodafone Spain) so is a Perfect SPL, I have been reading about the different ROMs and some of them need a different SPL, my question is:
If I rooted my magic (was shipped with version 1.5) and now I have installed the Cyanogen 4.2.13 and the RA Recovery 1.5.2G, Do I need the goldcard to change the SPL and the radio version? or with just entering in the recovery mode is enough?
Thanks in advance,

Yeah. Entering recovery mode is enough
Goldcard method is basically avoid region check (if you will flash official ROM, that isn't for your country). In some times GC may used when flashing .nbh to get rooted.
i still am confused about the PERCECT SPL, which I have (.0006) is this SPL good enough for flashing new ROMs, I completed the 1 Click ROOT with no issue flashed the latest Cyanogen ROM, but I wanna try a HERO rom, its kinda why I got a Android Device. This SPL stuff is actually confusing me, five years for HTC devices I have never had an issue or really been confused on what to do, there is a first time for everything.
If i do need to change my SPL, which should I goto? I would like tjust to leave it alone and contine to FLASH on, cause I've been waiting for weeks to get an Android device and flash awaY!!
THANKXXX
actually I think I found a thread just above this one that answered my question, but if anyone want to confirm the correct idea, thatn that would be cool, but I m gonna go ahead and upgrade to SPL: Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 BUT i would like to be sure thats what i need to do, i would like to keep my NO BRICK record intact
SPL recommended
Hi,
Thank for your answers, I'm thinking to change the SPL but I'm not sure which one use, Is the same Danger SPL and the one posted in the sapphire-port-dream website in google (I can't post urls) as latest? If I flashed this SPL will I be able to install all the ROMs that need different SPL? or is better a Engineering version like Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (I'm confused about the differences).
My magic is SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT - 1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.1926I
Also I want to ask, if I flash the new SPL (if the versions above are compatible with my phone), Will I need to re-flash again the Cyanogenmod version (or the ROM that I choose)?
Thanks!

Mmm... 1.33.2005 (Haykuro Danger SPL) is most popular SPL for 32B-devices
Devs recommend it to flash before flashing their ROMs.
Usually, you don't need to re-flash ROM

flash recovery-RA-v__H.img to a 32b board?

is there any recovery image that i can flash to a 32b board that will run fine with the 32a radio? without flashing back to the google branded radio?
i am running
engineerings 1.33.2005 with radio 3.22.20.17 on a mytouch3g 32B phone.
cause i want to run 32a roms.... and the phone seems to run much faster with this radio and even the stock vodaphone software.
just curious...
thanks in advance.
fixed my question.... worded a bit better.

How to root after updating to 2.56.494.7 rom

I had to update my phone with the above rom in RUU mode because it was stuck in RUU mode and couldnt do anything. I have a goldcard created but I dont know what SPL to install because of the rom version. would anybody be so kind as to helping me what to do next. Thanks.
Go in fastboot by pressing back+power (while your phone is switched off) and tell as what your SPL and radio version is. I suspect it's a 1.33.xx.xx SPL and 3.22.xx.xx radio, but you should better tell us in order to help you.
HBOOT is 1.33.0010
RADIO 3.22.30.17
Im on a 32b, S-ON H.
Are you sure it's 32B, S-ON H. If it's 32B, it should be S-ON G. Be very careful. If you flash your 32B Magic with a ROM that is meant for a 32A, you may brick your phone.

what originally happened is that i accidentally flashed my phone with an 32a RUU update, which didnt finish and got stuck on the RUU mode screen. I flashed it with an arabic RUU and i now my phone is up and running again. That is definitely what comes up on the fastboot screen. Is there a 32b RUU that I can update to? or can i root my phone?
Official 3.03.990.6 SenseUI ROM for Vodafone - is where I got the rom from.
You should follow the instructions on this post. A friend of mine did the same thing and I used those instructions to install Amon_RA's ROM for 32B Magic.
Since you' ve already installed the Arabic ROM, you should do the rest:
Then follow below link to root the phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how...-in-one-click/
Then start phone recovery mode and update the SPL to ENG SPL 1.33. 2005 from below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Your phone should be 32A now, if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:

Put the flashrec.apk in the androidsdk folder. From a command prompt (the path should be that of your androidsdk folder) run:
Code:
adb install flashrec.apk
Put the exact name of the flashrec app you downloaded.
thanks. btw the image version i am using is 2.56.494.7. does that mean any above that i can upgrade to?
Sir, you are a legend. I've finally sorted it after a couple of stressful days without my phone!

DO NOT USE ehb224 post. It is for Magics 32A
32B users must use CyanogenWiki manual
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Note: in cyanogenwiki used cyanogen recovery, but all can use AMon_RA recovery or Clockworks recovery
Another thing: After getting recovery all can flash other 32B ROMs, not only CyanogenMod

According to the info in the thread (and Amon_RA) it is for either 32A or 32B boards.
If you read through the thread it does say that a 32B board does need to have a 32B radio flashed after.
