I'm using HTC Branded Magic ( PVT32A board ). I like some ROM for PVT32B only. Can I use 32B ROM on 32A board ????
Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks for reading !!
Hi linhnd,
I'm still quite new in this forum and have only had my Magic for 2 weeks now. But for what I'm convinced - you cannot use a 32B ROM on your 32A device as out-of-the-box sollution.
I've seen on other treads, that some people have managed to fix and modify a ROM to use on a different device. So it should maybe be possible...
Try surfing around -
Yeap, I known 32B ROM can't use for 32A boards. But I'm finding solution for that )
Try to see this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538588
It seems fairly easy to make a change 32A vs 32B - maybe it can be used the other way around also...

Try this from Haykuro
use either http://bit.ly/Ilcwr (for non-htc branded magic) or http://bit.ly/xcx6Y (this is for newer devices, or htc branded magic)

I know i posted in the wrong forum, sorry :/ But it is still a ROM.
Topic says 32B so i guess its 32B only still
This is available for both 32a and 32b HTC Magics?
Have anyone try it on 32A Device ?
i do not think that 2.1 can run on magic 32a atm. Need to have port to be able to run on 32a board.

This ROM is native to the Hero platform, which is essentially the 32A Magic.
These devs have ported it for 32B and will then create a patch to port it to 32A. It's like taking the long way around to get right back to where you were before.
I'll wait for a clean 32A port of this ROM.
This might be a naive question but why is it that all latest roms released are ported to 32b devices first? Isn't the Hero 2.1 rom designed for devices with 288MB RAM? Shouldn't support for the 32a Magic be the first one available?
I'm just glad that they are ported to 32b first, i got a 32b of course

i guess dev create rom first for 32b because of the number of 32b devices. I think 32a devices are not many in numbers.
About 32A go HERE

And the dev is using a T-Mobile MyTouch3g, which is a 32B device.
What bothers me is that these images leaked from HTC are hoarded by the devs in the Dream forums and we're the last ones to get a peek in at them. We always end up porting the ROMs that they create instead of having a chance to build some of our own.

Same here! 32B HTC Magic!
All 32A users can boot it with kernel image..

Hi. Right now I'm running Cursorsense, and really happy with it .
I Have:
SPL-1.76.2007
RADIO-6.35.10.18
How many Roms are out there for new SPL and Radio?
Wanna do some testing.
Depends. Do you value GPS, Bluetooth, WIFI and Youtube/Videos to properly function and no FCs? Then CusorSense is you're only bet right now.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great ROM but 1.5 is getting old....
I know.. 1.5 is gettin old. I need BT, WiFi and GPS Work
Developers are still using old SPL and Radio. Just want to know why?

32B is the standard that people are developing for and is what the AOSP source is based on. 32A on the old radio is a very easy port from 32B. They both use a very similar 2.6.29 kernel.
Also, there is no stable working kernel 2.6.29 for 32A on the new 6.35 radio.

Why do we need a different SPL?
I'm on this
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0010(SAPP1000)
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:28:28
And used the "how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click" to root the phone , then installed Amon RA's 1.5.2H recovery and flashed CyanogenMod from "wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/32A_Kernel", and the 32A port using the before mentioned recovery program.
I have no problems.
Why do I need another SPL and Radio? if I want to flash CursorSense32A, OpenEclair or the KingKlick rom's <- just to mention a few...
*J*
The next official Android 2.1 update will most likely have the latest radio too.
So if you want to have the latest (rooted) official HTC roms on your device, you need the latest radio too.
Caught my attention.... I'm subscribing...
I posted a set of related questions Here...
Summary:
1.33.2010 vs 1.76.2007 SPL
3.22.20.17 vs 6.35.x.x radio
Ok, so what is the difference, other than they are required for certain ROMs? Are there new features or ???
What phones actually came with these 'new' versions; I have a new Rogers Magic and it had the old versions installed. I also believe the Rogers update (OTA) was still the old SPL, although a perfected version.
Why would someone want to upgrade and are there incompatibilities with providers (mine is 850/1900 freq - radio specifically)
I also read a comment that said something to the likes of:
The new radio and SPL makes the 32A a Hero (or like)... (I think from Amon in another thread.) Does that mean it can run the Hero kernel (build kern for Hero device type), a port; I assume it can't run a Hero ROM direct, is it just easier to port those ROMs?
Didn't see any of this described anywhere or in the wiki, at least that made sense to me.
I'd be glad to tack it in for reference if we get some good information... (I'm sure that I'm not the only one overwhelmed by all this information and I read through these forums all the time, entire threads... Also was a firmware engineer, *IX admin and java dev in a past life)
2 cursordroid: hope you aren't ending with your awesome work, cause i can't wait your next great rom) of course, if you're planning something for us...?
I'm currently using marsdroid lite for the new radio. pretty fast (way smoother than another new spl/radio superD i used before).
and btw, the new radio is indeed different: I now have reception in some of the subway stations in Toronto which is impossible w/ the old radio.
Radio = Reception and might be viewed by Rogers?

So, new radio is for reception, and might be some sort of recognition of a fix that Rogers sent out because of problems with calling "911". <- Am I on the right track?
Why does the Rom care about the radio version?
Is the SPL, a sort of a preloader that will pick up the phone layout before booting into a rom?
And a 32A is different from a 32B because? (is it internal ram, 288 vs 192)
the 911 fix was part of the update afaik, the radio change has nothing to do with the fix.
yes it is the internal ram difference. also the boards for the two phones are different, however if you look around the dev section there is a way to port any 32b rom to 32a. however it will only use 192 ram
SPL = second program loader (if memory serves)
Finding TONS of dead 4shared links to the file Eugene was linking everyone to, but can't find the 32a (3.2.2 version I believe) radio anywhere. For the folks running 32b boards, is it now common practice to flash radio and use 32a ROMS?
If so, can someone direct me to the the radio image (and anything else I might need beyond fastboot or adb)?
Also, once I've flashed to 32a, I'm hoping to find a Sense 2.1 ROM with bluetooth. Anyone know of a working one? If not, how about a recommendation to a working Eclair ROM (preferably with bluetooth also, but I can live w/o)?
Thanks in advance. I've been searching and feel like either 32b is largely abandoned or I'm missing something (perhaps because is "common knowledge" now and I've been focusing on the Droid community for a while and am out of the loop).
Don't try to flash a 32A Radio to a 32B phone. Won't work at best and may brick your phone at worst!
These are hardwarewise different devices. Or did I miss your point?
nope you can flash a 32A radio on your 32B as long as you follow procedures correctly. I don't know too much about them but I see people doing it all the time. I wouldn't flash the 6.35 32A radio though, just the 3.22. I highly doubt you can use the 2.1 sense rom with 3.22
32B isn't abandonned, theres more for that than 32A. 32A people like myself have to find ports as I don't know how to make one! Most the 32A roms are unstable anyways (for example, 2.1) Until we receive something official, it's not the best everyday rom
yeah id like help withg this as well
most of the 32b roms suck and arent sense haha
like the above poster said
all our roms are just 32b or hero ports
the ones that are stable are 32b
no point in being 32a if you dont have too

Bluetooth is one reason, finding a decent Sense ROM is another.
Bluetooth is a reason? Are you sure?

My current understanding is that there isn't a sense ROM out there where BT works with 32B radio. No longer true?
there are no decent sense roms
the only ones run outdated 1.5 or are 2.1 builds for NEW 6.35 radio
with your 32b low memory sense is not really gonna work any better and you should stick to the 32b ports for sense roms
any sense roms basically require new 6.35 radio to work properly which a 32b cannot support
Hello everyone,
I've got an HTC Magic with a special SPL, and I wanted to change the ROM to an Eclair 2.1 with Sense (if possible), it's currently running the 1.6 Android version without Sense.
My HTC Magic is :
SAPPHIRE Unknown 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
Please can someone telle me what exactly should I do to be able to flash this HTC ? Do I have to make a Goldgard or anything like that ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Best Wishes,
Lorhdak.
