Hi,
Rogers released new dream rom with a radio update.
We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I now
This new is:
62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
Anyone able to get it out so we can flash it on cyan latest mod rom?
Dont know exact radio version but go here for rom:

Thanks again.
the whole dump is an nbh file that has to be flashed from the sd. Anybody know how to crack it open?
I bet it contains other fixes as well! The message on Twitter said that they fixed some bugs!

I remember back when I had my Wizard, there was a tool to pick apart nbh images and reassemble them. But this was for Windows Mobile, a completely different platform. Perhaps the basic file formats are similar?
Use qmat. It can unpack nbhs.
Mmmm, new radio.......yummy.....I like new stuff.....wait if it is a new radio, will this be able to work for us, how to we know that this won't jeprodize us with the danger spl. I know I ain't gonna be the first to try this

my thoughts exactly...took enough balls to go for the danger SPL in the first place.
my current radio works fine, so I am not going to mess.
then again...never say never. thats what XDA is all about
Well we know the radio calls the spl and that the old radio was not able to call the hayruko spl which cause way too many paperweights so how will we know if this radio will also call it, we can assume that since it is an update would but the word assume means to make an ass out of you and me, so is there any way that this can be checked or tested numerous times before we possibly get another wave of bricks and without a cupcake over the air excuse to fall back on. Just my thoughts.
Never change a running system my father tells. Me all the time.. ;-)
Yeah but I like new stuff, I got so used to it feeling like christmas around with new stuff all the time that I got spoiled. I have had this radio and spl for 3 months now and I am bored off it. I demand something new that could cause some new widespread havoc, can't we get something that causes a self destruct if installed incorrectly, kinda jealous of those iphone 3gs users and their exploding batteries, I want something that explodes and catches fire. I demand a refund what am I paying you dev for, wait I don't pay you, nevermind forget this whole post
P.s. I am just playing
rogers is DREA210
we have mostly DREA100/110
i dont think we r able to flash it...
Hardware is identical.
So it should work OK.
Just give me radio Rom only and i will flash it asap.
drea110 here.
You can go back to default by flashing DREAIMG.nbh and then re-flash with this Rom and all will be OK.BUT YOU WILL LOOSE ROOT!
And that is why i didn't flash it yet
Am waiting for someone to give a proper radio Rom to flash.
There will always be a question about whether any new radio image (IPL) that ships will be compatible with a hacked SPL or other SPL not intended for the specific device. This new IPL could very well brick every device it is installed on when mixed with the deathSPL. I very strongly suggest that nobody tries this IPL unless they switch back to their STOCK SPL. Now that HTC has so kindly provided the kernel source needed to build custom kernels that will boot on a stock dream as provided to rogers, there is absolutely NO NEED to continue using the deathSPL phone killer.
Hey, does this nbh file carry the SPL? (it must, doesn't it?)
If it does, then you could maybe just install this and reroot.
Yes it contains spl and radio rom and os rom on it so it will put back everything on stock.
But you will loose root and as of now there is no way to root on 1.5 version.. yet.
if there is i would flash it.
Re-root leave radio and check spl version.
if newer than deathspl would leave it and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
If not reflash haykuro new hacked spl back and then wipe and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
And am back in bussiness with new radio and/or spl.
But rooting on 1.5 cupcake needed to do that so...

Really REALLY WRONG!
As I rank your knowledge about SPLs,Radios and android itself with this post, you shouldn't flash this, except if you wouldn't cry and open up a thread "My G1 is dead" ;-)

And you base that on what?
1.5 is rootable - look for "goldcard"
Second: This update has a different SPL - It's not an Engineering SPL.
It replaces your recovery.
And I think these Recovery and ROM wouldn't boot on a regular T-Mobile G1, because it has a different radio chip.
It's very risky to flash this, because it's from a different phone.
It's NOT the same hardware!

I hope this is not a very stupid question, but why would you need a goldcard. Can't you just revert to RC29 and root you device the old and easy way?

Of course i didn't expect it to be engineering spl, this rom are made of normal ppl to use not experiment so normal spl would be on it but maybe the same as g1 or newer.
rogers only modification was on UMTS 850 / 1900 bands the normal g1 only supports UMTS 1700 / 2100 but rogers g1 users did flash radio rom from g1 vanilla see hardspl or even haykuro's hacked spl and they work fine so why not the contrary?
After all they keep the same base versions:
We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
They have 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
If they had: 3.0008 i wouldn't bother smells from miles is not same radio hardware
But as you can see the code is identical to each other, only newer!
The hardware IS the same my friend only they dont have dvt only pvt motherboards and they all be flashed with latest haykuro's spl and radio!
If am wrong the os will load but i wont have cell reception but that is as far as it goes for a brick.
Am 99% this rom will do just fine on any pvt g1 phone out there.
As for goldcard, didnt know there is a way to root on 1.5 please enlighten me.
Is there anything to download to make this happen? ->link
if it is am more than 101% that this rom will go on my phone sweet.
After that i dont know what happens will i be able to flash haykuro spl back or i will have a brick? will it let me flash custom rom?
Over and out.
Hello.
I've been here for around a week now, reading tons and tons of threads and guides, yet it leaves me with a bunch of questions i am having trouble finding answers to.
First of all, this is the information i've managed to get from my Magic
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.23.18
Sep 2 2009, 17:42:56
It's bought in Denmark, however i bought it used, so i don't know what's happend to it in the past, yet as of what i've read and tried, i believe it's still as stock.
A bunch of questions
General
1. What is SPL?
2. What are the different types and differences of SPLs?
3. What is Radio?
4. What is a "Goldcard"?
5. In what part of the proces from stock ROM to a Hero ROM is the chance of bricking the phone?
Concering my phone
1. How to you get started upgrading a stock Magic with the standard ROM to a Hero ROM? (Do you flash SPL first, recovery first, or something third?)
2. I believe but not sure, that my current SPL is a "perfect" one, do i need one of these so-called "goldcards" to get a Hero ROM?
3. How great is the chance of bricking the phone with my specs and versions, and is there any way to minimize this chance?
I hope that someone will be able to help answering my possibly stupid questions, so i'll eventually be able to get a Hero ROM working on the dear magic without bricking it.
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure if this is posted in the correct section, if not, please forgive me.
Some of these questions can be answered in the sapphire wiki, which is in the sticky at the top of this sub forum.
You can only brick your phone (completely recoverable) from screwing up when flashing your spl or flashing the wrong spl

The only thing you need to remember from the settings is 32A. Never flash anything that doesn't say it's for 32A (not entirely correct, but safe bet ;-)).
The first thing you need is to root and install a recovery, I recommend AmonRA recovery. I never flashed SPL or radio, you can install almost all ROMs without flashing radio/SPL.
now more in detail on your questions:
1. SPL (or HBOOT) is the "Second Program Loader". Flashing this incorrectly can brick your phone, so don't do it, and you're normally safe.
2. stay with stock ;-) I only flashed an engineering SPL just last week, but was flashing almost daily ROMs. I still don't see the advantage of flashing a different SPL
3. The radio is the firmware of the 'radio' chip in your mobile. Also not safe to change for beginners.
4. Not sure, it is used for rooting some devices it seems, or to bring bricked devices back from the dead. If you need to know more, you're in trouble ;-)
5. Stay away from flashing radio/SPL and you won't brick your phone (although sometimes you need to know some 'trick' to get the phone back in useable state ;-))
how:
1. root and install a custom recovery. From the recovery you can do nifty things: mount USB, wipe, flash, make a backup, restore
2. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!! With that, you can always go back to your previous state (providing you didn't brick the device)
3. take one of the 32A ports of Hero, never a ROM that is made for the Hero itself (partition layout is different, and some hardware too). I recommend my-hero 2.0.5. It works well, is made for the 32A, and safe to flash.
You can find more details on those steps in the forum, but I hope some of it has become more clear.

Thanks alot for your answers! It was helpfull. However you say that i don't have to flash a new SPL, are you sure about that? I believe i've read somewhere i'd have to flash a new one in order to get root access because i have a perfect SPL - please correct me if i am wrong
You really don't need to flash SPL (unless for cursorsense). You DO need to flash recovery, this makes everything a lot easier.
ah, you have a 'perfect' SPL, sorry, missed that part. I don't have that, so I didn't need to flash SPL at all to enjoy custom ROMs.
Can't help you with that then, search more info I'd say!
The information you provided did help indeed.
However i found out how to make a goldcard, now i just need to know if i found the right SPL to flash.
Would this be the right one for me?

Hi everyone,
Been trying to root my phone since yesterday and had a bit of trouble. Now it seems that the SPL I have is a perfected one as I am unable to use fastboot for recovery.img (not allow error).
This is what I have:
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD 12
Radio 6.35.10.18
Is there a way to change this SPL at this time? I know there are ways for older ones but I wasn't sure that I should be changing to an older SPL (and risk bricking my phone) so I thought I'd ask first!
Any advice/input greatly appreciated.

Yeah that's a perfected SPL. I assume Recovery Flasher doesnt work? If you can't use Recovery Flasher then you are out of luck until someone can break into those phones.
Keep in mind the hero recovery is the only one that works with the 6.x Radio.
Arrrgh!!! I'm tempted to go to the Rogers store and exchange my Magic for another one (without the upgrade on it). I still have 8 days to do so according to Rogers policy...
chances are you'd get another with perfected spl.
This is how i got mine working from perfected spl->custom rom
If you want a different rom, dont follow the last 2 links, and find whatever you want to flash, after the first 2 links you will have a non-perfected spl and be able to flash whatever your heart desires.
There are easier ways to do this if you are not running windows 7. Apparently theres a way using htc sync, but i cant get it working, even with all of the fixes that people have claimed work for them
PurpleFries said:
u can have a sense ui running on 1.5, if you are only concerned with how it looks. Just flash the cursorsence rom, if u have 32a phone. ensure u dont have a perfect spl. If you did the rogers dream->magic switch, likely you have a 32a phone with 1.33.0010 perfect spl. you must get rid of this first.
here's some links to help you out as i did this process yesterday. took me a helluva long time.

For the video in that link, watch up until the point where he tests the goldcard by putting it back into his computer to see if it opens. You don't need to follow his instructions past there

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm actually using Windows 7 so I'll have to do it that way.
Does it matter that my SPL is 1.76.0010 rather than 1.33.0010?
umm.
Actually im not 100% sure. Kuz i know messing with the radio and spls can be problematic if you flash them incorrectly... I personally would go straight to flashing These instead of going to 1.33.2007
maybe wait for someone more experienced to comment, kuz radio and spl being flashed wrong will result in a brick

Its 1.76.2007 not 1.33.2007. For now u need some practice at stage 1 - keep your original radio & spl. Otherwise like u said yourself, BRICK!
Got the HTC Magic upgrade through Rogers...
Perfected SPL
Since they still use 1.5 (yet they claim they care about security, lol) RecFlash works a charm.
Install RecFlash, slash RA's Recovery, then use it to flash the ROM.
w00t!

I've tried that method with the new rogers update (SPL 1.76.0010), and it doesn't seem to work for me. The flashrec website even states it doesn't work with firmware released after November '09. Are you sure you had the new update when you rooted using this method?

yes but i think you don't have a perfected spl, we are not able to root because our spl version is 1.76.0010... can you confirm you got the same?
I have an updated Rogers ROM and Goldcard will not work with the current ENG SPL. Outdated
Same with me. Stuck on this ROM. I think whomever says they were able to get root with 1 click method or flashing the Engineering SPL did not have the same setup as those of us who are stuck. I've devoted about 20 hours so far to getting root again. None of the methods are working, and yes I'm following the directions to the letter. This is really starting to piss me off.
Is there anyone working on trying to root this new Rogers update ROM? It seems like most of the people who do this stuff have moved on to the Droid and N1. Do we need to start a fund to entice one of the people who rooted the other ROMs to come back and revisit Rogers 1.5 Sense? I'd throw $10 US into the pot.
Any other ideas?
im in!
10$ US, im in!
I'm in for $10
God I hate Canadian cell providers.
Can the phone still be unlocked to use on a different carrier though??
10$
Totally in. 10 bucks is a small price to pay for a rooted phone.
iv trued the gold card method and then the flashing but i keep getting system sw is older or newer not sure but somthing to that effect, its weird i rooted my htc hero within minutes but i dont know what tp do at this point i tried pushing the recovery file to the device via ADB and the term in the phone..any help please

It was a pain but it worked great! Now running CM 4.2.14.1 with the Darkstar theme (love that theme). Check out the Unlockr's page. He lays out the steps in a really easy way to follow!

Even if you followed directions from that link and got your phone rooted, so what? You still need developers to modify Roms to fit that SPL/Radio. Right now, it seems a lot of the developers have left the Magic. Why no? There are newer and more exciting phones to cook.
So, whoever is reading this, please do research, google, and check whether your version of the software can be rooted or not. If rooted, whether you can find custom Roms to use.

I just rooted my Fender mytouch yesterday. Instead of using the sappimg.img from the unlockr, use the top one on Amon's page here
One Note:
I had to name it SAPPIMG.zip to get it recognized in hboot. I would try it with the .img extension first, then re-name it SAPPIMG.zip if that doesn't do it. After that, I loaded the fender stock rom from curserdroid's post in this same section. once that was loaded, I still had to downgrade by loading this spl and radio from hereWhen done, everything works, touch screen, 3.5 mm jack, etc. I would follow crypysmoker's steps in his post here.It worked in my case, and should take care of your phone as well- Chris

well thanks for that i deff looked around on a few sites as well as google and im getting diff opinions, and im aware of the lack of ROMS if any i think there is 1-3 at most, mostly being buggy and unstable. i guess thanks for taking the time to look
Hi all
I feel like i am going round in circles trying to get my 32b magic rooted. Ive tried all sorts of methods even buying relentless rooter magic, but after lots of helpful emails i was told i have a perfected spl1.33.0007.
I was then told my problem would be solved by creating a gold card. I did this following the unlockr guide. Then went back to trying to use relentless rooter but I still cannot get the phone rooted.
I would appreciace any guidance at this point as I really dont know what else to do. Some of the help people give is great but it assumes a certain level of android knowledge that I have not got and will not ever have.
Thanks in advance fellas. I hope you can help as I love my phone
Regards
Del
have you tried follow these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
to make sure your not on perfect spl.
for rooting check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
then you should be able to fix it
Sorry to be stupid but where do i get the following from?
* an non-perfected SPL (preferably an engineerings SPL).
* a ROM with a version that is HIGHER than your current ROM version.
Im sure this is all straighforward stuff to all you guys who do this all the time but it just seems like one obstacle after another for me
Thanks again for the help
i don't know much about the 32b version, but the second thread i posted to you is the one to use, try read very good the first post in it, cause the first thread i posted he tells 32b user to go to the second thread, so try study the second thread thats what i can do to help, hope you find something in it.
Again please excuse my stupidity but i have not a clue what ROM is appropriate for my phone. This is the problem that I always encounter, that others assume that your level of knowledge is comparable to theirs. I know im not a total moron but this is a whole new language to me and the last thing i wanna do is ruin my phone. It seems the more i read on forums etc the more i get confused as there are a seemingly infinite array of different methods to get your phone rooted.
well can you provide info on which spl radio you have now first?
He mentioned in the original post he had perfected spl1.33.0007.
How about telling us what you did with the goldcard process, what happened and what went wrong? Any errors received that you can tell us etc will help us to help you.
just wondering cause he messed with the phone after getting the info of perfected spl so just wanted to be clear what there is to work with so he can get a working good phone
I followed the gold card process on the unlockr webby and all went fine. No issues there at all.
Im now stuck as to what to do next. I bought relentless rooter software and the guy on support has been helpful. Just wondering what my next port of call should be. Like I said im no Mr Android but Im not totally clueless either. I would just like it if someone could tell me what should be the correct/best/simplest procedure for getting my phone rooted and getting the best/closest ROM to 2.0/2.1
Sorry to be a pain but there is so much info out there its really difficult to determine whats right and whats wrong.
BTW Ive got 2 magics so if a totally brick one, Ill know to definitely stop. Unfortunately they both have the same spl
Thanks again in advance
Just tried another method from the relentless support. Ive put SAPP.nbh on my goldcard and restarted with vol down and power. Tried to apply the image and got an error of
model id incorrect!
Update fail
Do you want to reboot device?
any more advice please?
first off im not trying to be a **** here... but..if your having this much trouble rooting, and you admit you dont know much, then why are you bothering rooting??
if you root and get a custom rom on your phone, you will NEED to know how to update said rom, as you will not get support from your carrier.
rooting is not hard, there are MANY guides out there that hold your hand and walk you threw rooting, installing rom ect ect...
for you i would recommend cyanogen mod (www.cyanogenmod.com) JUST because it is stable and works great.. i dont think you want a rom like super d , cdsi , fasttest or something like that where you will probably have to update your rom somewhat often.
please see this guide and READ it fully, its not hard to understand or to follow....just make sure you are on a 32B, if you are not then this guide will not work..
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
also you are looking for a rom that is 2.0/2.1, first off they are not fully functional, there are issues with all 2.0/2.1 roms out there (some are great dont get me wrong, but in my mind not fully functional) so again i would recommend cyanogenmod its based on 1.6 but has bits and pieces of eclair(2.0) in it. before you try a 2.0/2.1 rom i would say get root first, run cyanogenmod and go from there..
again.. im not trying to be a ****.. but it really isnt hard rooting.. and hearing you say you dont know anything is kind of rediculous.. i came into the android scene not knowing anything, its easy to learn if you want to, if you want the easy way out without learning then dont root...
edit: Im sorry i sound harsh, but i still stand behind what i said.. please please please try the cyanogenmod wiki guide, and also please post EXACTLY what sys ver your running, which carrier your on, and confirm please the SPL..
i started out knowing nothing too, but reading and do what guys say in their guides gets you far, and when keep wanting to tell in every post (i know nothing) is kinda saying, don't use custom roms cause if something goes wrong, you will be more fustrated and angry on the android system (also not trying to be rude, but think about it, do you really want to root?)
In the normal course of events I am capable of following the simple instructions found on forums like this to do whatever I need. In the past I have chipped my xbox and flashed my 360, but I am really struggling with my phone. The reason I went for the relentless piece of software was because it was supposed to be simple.
As far as I was concerned I was having a problem following the instructions until I was told I had a perfected SPL. Thats why I had so much difficulty in the past getting it rooted. I thought using relentless might help me out in that respect. It didnt.
So I then find out that I need to create a gold card. Got that sorted ok, then proceeded with the root process. All systems stopped again as I get model id incorrect error. I posted on here to see if anyone else was having the same problems and would be willing to help.
I am really thankful for the suggestions so far and if anyone has any more I will endevour to use them. But my main problem is that there is so much info out there its difficult to work out whats right and wrong especially if you are encountering problems like I am. Ive seen many videos and read many tutorials on how to root so I know it should be straightforward but that has not been my experience thus far
have you tried the wiki link i posted??
start over.. forget everything you have done.. and try that wiki link..
again we need to know your phone model, carrier, spl and sys version(android 1.5, 1.6, ect ect) to move forward if you still are stuck..
Thanks again for your help

You need to make certain that your gold card was made properly. My first attempt at making a goldcard failed for no reason what so ever. The second attempt went fine on the same micro sd card. I would follow the directions of using Flashrec. That process has been flawless due to the fact that it takes advantage of a bug in Android 1.5. It's easy as long as your goldcard was made properly. Good Luck
p.s. once your able to flash an engineering/non-perfected spl, Leave It Alone.
I had the same problem with mine, couldnt find a guide that works on a uk Voda Magic
I used this and it worked great:

main version is older!
update fail!
do you want to reboot device?
action yes
power no
tmobile mytouch 1.6 just a regular mytouch not 1.2 ( fender)
i had rooted about 12 mytouch ( tmobile usa) and never had any problem till now,
i did the gold card using theunlockr how to.
and i still get the same error.
not know what to do to get this done.
i just can't downgrade to 1.5.
thanks.......................................
I finally pulled my head out of my ass last night/early this morning and got a handle on what i needed to do. And now I have a rooted magic with a shiny new hero rom on it. Very pleased with myself. Now off to try to get the second one done. Fingers crossed
Thanks everyone for all your help and patience. Its really appreciated
Back to square 1 again. After the excitement of havig a working root and displaying a rather lovely hero rom, I though all was well. So I decided to have a crack at rooting my other magic. During the process which was unsuccessful this time my original rooted decided to shut itself down for no apparent reason. Whe i tried to reboot it would get to the splash screen and no further even though it had been working perfectly happily just hours before.
Any help please?
The details are:
32b ENG S-OFF h
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
I rooted using the gold card method and flashed with a hero rom. All the instructins taken from theunlockr.com as I couldnt get the cyanogen wiki instructions to work.
I did try the cyanogen wiki method having already rooted using gold card, but that phone also stops at the splash screen after flashing bot images. I waited several times for 15mins+ but nothing
I would really appreciate some help mainly on my first issue
Thanks in advance
