Okay guys,
I have my phone rooted and I have the following loaded:
ota-radio-2_22_19_26l.zip
JFv1.50 ADP1.5
I also have my apps going to my sd card via the guide on here.
I was going to load a custom image and I realized that I didn't have the correct bootloader which I THOUGHT I loaded when I loaded JFv1.50...
It says on my bootloader that I have:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-2.22.19.26i
The background of it is red,green, blue, and white...
I thought that I loaded the new bootloader(hardspl) when I rooted my phone before, but I guess I didn't ??? I thought the JF build wouldn't install unless it did...
Can I simply just upgrade it to the new bootloader or will I need to do EVVERYTHING starting from rc29 again ?
Perhaps someone will have better advice, but mine would be to reflash the NBH and then reflash JF's ROM
hardSPL can be flashed without otherwise changing your system
just use utmost caution to ensure the checksum of the update file ON YOUR SDCARD is identical to what is says in the SPL thread. Check it inside the terminal on the phone itself.
also, there is always a chance that flashing an SPL could harm your device.

I think that you need to redo the hardSPL again. Just make sure you read and re-read it before you do it. It's been a long time since I did it but mine read:
Dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
CLPD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.23 [--I like this radio the best]
Hope this helps
Thanks guys !!!
Got it flashed and everything works great !!!

I was gonna suggest that haykuro just released a new version of the hardspl that almost doubles the system partition. 89mb of internal mem!!! Since you were flashing anyways. U can find it on his blog.
hi there
this was my g1's stats
Drea110 pvt 32b
Hspl10.95.3000
Cpld-4
Radio-1.22.12.29
Oct 20 2008
and then iv successfully updated the radio to
Drea110 pvt 32b
Hspl10.95.3000
Cpld-4
Radio-1.22.12.29 --> radio-2.22.19.261
Oct 20 2008
then i deleted the update file of radio from my microsd and then added the spl files into the microsd and renamed it to update
then turning on the phone with home+power and then alt+S, the yellow bar loaded half way and then restarted the phone and started looping
please help if anyone could, please, its urgent
it should not have caused you any problems. Try wiping your phone.
do u mind telling in which part i need to do a wipe?
before updating spl or do i need to do a wipe before updating the radio?
you don't need to wipe with either one
You can flash the radio and the SPL without wiping, you just have to reflash your ROM of choice AFTER the SPL. The SPL will flash and then reboot similar to flashing a radio, and then will hang. Then you insert an SD card with an update.zip of your ROM of choice (from the same family if you plan to do this stuff without wiping), reboot in recovery mode and flash the update. This has been covered MANY, MANY times in the threads dedicated to the new SPL.
after NOT updating the spl, i had no other choices but toput the latest htc rom into the microsd card and renamed it to update.zip and plug it back into the phone and started the home+power function and did a wipe (it reboots after i did the wipe) and then clicked alt+s and the it started updating
and at the end, it restarted and took a long time at the G1 logo...finally it went into HTC!!!
i think it was really a fluke....but to be honest, i think iv skipped the updating spl thingy...im wondering if there would be any problems or not....
if haykuro sees my post, i hope that he could give me some suggestions or opinion about this incident...
thanks in advance
o yeah, and thanks to the person who replied my post too
thanks alot

If you loaded the latest HTC build (6.0r1) successfully, then you were successful with the SPL also. You can't load 6.0 without first loading that SPL or else your system partition simply won't be large enough for the ROM (at least that's my understanding). And yes, when I loaded Haykuro's 6.0 ROM (without wiping by the way), it took a very SCARY long time to boot up the first time, on both the splash screen and the HTC screen.
or maybe it did update and you havent checked to see????
that would be the first thing id try.... go back to bootloader and see if you have the version info for the new SPL or if its still the same as your old SPL... but honestly if you have haykuro 6.0 on your phone then it worked... or your phone would be slow as mud (if you somehow installed it without the SPL but im pretty sure it checks) since youd have like 20mb free on a fresh flash

Does that match what it said it shuld in the thread you got it from?
I think you answered your own question.
yes, you could have compared that info to the info in the first post of the thread about this SPL, maaaaaybe since they match you flashed succesfully.... but just a thought...
SPL's arent large at all and take no time to flash.... buuuuuut its just about the only way you'll pseudo brick (not technically bricked just unfixable ATM) your phone

yha, and its a fuss to try to read ANY THING? come on, this has been re hashed over and over and over in almost every thread on the first page.
Dear forum members, I’ve been using the HTC Magic for a few weeks now and I must say much to my satisfaction. The device is so much more responsive and compared to Windows Mobile, it is very fast.
When browsing the Android marketplace I found out that many apps need the device to be rooted.
My question is apart from the apps benefit whether or not to ROOT the device.
What more advantages does rooting offer? Does one really need it?
Thank you for helping me make up my mind!!
new to magic as well, coming from windows mobile, here are the advantages of rooting (for me atleast)
1. bluetooth file transfers - rec and send
2. wifi / bluetooth tether (tho i think there are some paid apps that allow non root users to do this now)
3. upgrades for restricted roms. for eg, my australian htc magic did not allow me to upgrade to google maps 3.1.1. but after rooting, no probs =)
Where can I find the steps to root my tmobile my touch? AKA htc magic.
I'm desperately seeking a forum with the steps to root the my touch (htc magic). Just got it in today and I cant find anything on rooting this phone. Where did you get the info on rooting your Australian magic? Any help is much appreciated!

I followed instructions on http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting,
however, the recovery rom won't boot on my machine. it stuck on the first HTC screen. (Upto step 11)
then i tried using recovery rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492, boots ok, so I made a backup (lucky I did that),
and throw in the update.zip from Magic Tutorial, reboot,
still no sucess, machine stuck on the first HTC screen again.
So I used the recovery rom by Amon_RA's to restore my machine.
Did I do anything wrong?
My adb was installed correctly, no problem running adb devices.
BTW, I've also tried method 2, it was sucessful, but killed wifi, so i restored again.
Try this guide worked perfect for me first time and since on both my Magics.

Haykuro's ROM doesn't work on 32A boards. You can try daldroid's, Amon_RA's or the HOFO ROM. These are the non-Hero ROMs.
Hi, So I am new to this forum and have been reading all of the post and looking around google like crazy. Still can't find the source to my problemo.
I successfully downgraded my mytouch to cupcake, no problemo there.
Now I have been trying to put a rom from Cyanogen on the phone. I successfully put a 1.6 donut on my phone but kept getting a google.apps error and had some serious FC problems.
So, I unrooted, re rooted, and partioned my sd card.
Since then I have not gotten a cyanogenmod to work for me at all.
So, today, I have been trying to use cyanogen recently updated mod (4.2.14.1) no success mytouch seems to reject it.
looked around and saw that I needed to add HTC's DRC83base.
Tried that before adding the rom, got a error during installation saying the file was corrupt.
Now, I am just going to root it back down to cupcake and try again.
anyone got any ideas as to what I can do once I get it down to cupcake.
Also, I am running a 32B, if that matters.
and to think this all started cause I wanted a metamorph theme on my phone, ha.
this is not a "brick" issue, you're just making rookie mistakes in the flashing process.
i'm happy to help if i can but you'll need to provide so more info. can you fastboot (back+power) and tell us your details. can you also tell us what recovery you're using and most importantly can you ensure the integrity of the files you're trying to use by checking the md5 sums.
dp!!!!!!!!!!
ha, rookie mistakes...indeed.

i was using cyanogen's recovery image 1.4.img (but i am re-downgrading to cupcake and the recovery image will be the recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img)
also, since i am downgrading to 1.5 will I have to check the integrity of the files? (i'll still do it, just checking to see if it's neccessary)
is there a more up to date 32B recovery than that? get 1.5.3.G from here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492&highlight=recovery
apply that and we'll go from there...
edit: sorry, yeah you don't need to check everything (though i'd be checking stuff like recoveries...) but it does help to rule out file integrity as the cause for your problems...
ok, so I am downloading the recovery image from the link you gave me (thanks btw) and have begun flashing it as i type.
so far, so good.
Hey, so I wanted to let you know that I totally fixed my phone all cause of you!!!
Thank you so much!
I successfully re-flashed, re-rooted, amd re installed a donut version of dwang (i just gave up on using cyanogen's roms) and I have a fully rooted not bricked phone!
Hi,
I thought id flash my 32b with the latest rom today, so i downloaded it off here (said it was for a 32b) and flashed my phone...
1: its not for a 32b its for a 32a
2: its now stuck in RUU USB mode
3: i can communicate to it with fastboot but can not load a recovery file as it just hangs where it should have rebooted into the recovery image,
4: its using 1.76.0009 spl which is a perfect one.
5: PLEASE does anyone know how i might be able to UN-Brick my phone ?
6: I cant make a gold card as i can't get the CID for my SD card
PLEASE HELP
EDIT: There is an update on HTCs UK site. Just download and install that and you should be fine.
thanks for the reply,
Unfortunately im from NZL and my serial number doesnt work
and my phone is a 32b and that update is for a 32a
Used Haret to get CID
I also bricked my Magic yesterday, using an official RUU.exe. And I had the same problem in obtaining the CID, but luckily I could get around it as follows:
I still have an old HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris 100) and installed an Android version which booted from Haret. Once it was running I could obtain a terminal window and do a cat for the CID file. I tried to access it via ADB, but that did not succeed.
There are several distributions described in the Polaris forums, your mileage might vary with other models.
So if you know somebody with an HTC phone (WM) try to find an Android distribution for it, put it on your SD card and run haret. It is non-destructive and allows you to read the CID. After obtaining the CID, I reformatted the SD card and folowed the instructions here: Create gold card.
After inserting the Gold card, I could continue the RUU update and now I have a Magic with HTC Sense.
thanks for that, im glad to see im not alone, im trying to find a program for linux / mac / windows which will give me my CID for my SD card but can't find one anywhere
When you put the goldcard in and turned your phone on it boot from it automatically ?

my platform is 32A end I dont creat cold card just a original RUU from HTC sait
my phone is TIM brandet and i download TIM RUU and my phone downupgade then
Just an update to how the recovery is going
Well i created a goldcard which has fixed my issue with the Custom ID check and i have managed to Down grade my hboot to 1.76.0008 and my radio phone is still having a personalliy issue and thinks its a 32a and its NOT !! when it gets to unzipping the system it just hangs there, in fact it sits there all day until the battery dies and indicator doesnt shift on phone from 0 so with the RUU it makes it to 81% if i can get a sappimg for a 32b which desent flash the system but only the radio and hboot would be great (I think) , issue is that when i try and make one, it comes up with Signature Verfiy Fail
HELP
Not even 32A users can downgrade 1.76.0008 right now except for the SU edition, which you cannot boot. You have a brick.
The same problem

I have found a way around that im now working again, its all about the order that things get flashed to your phone.
I found an RUU that flashed everything 1st apart from the rom which is flashed last. As long as you have a gold card you can do this.
When it gets to flashing the system over its crashes... thats ok, take the battery out of your phone and reflash, your 32a s-on H becomes a 32b s-on H and then the system will flash over ok.
So... I have a skitzo phone at the moment with a saudi rom on it, but at least its working... HOW EVER.... these bloody alarms keep waking me up to do my prays hahahaa i thought that was kinda funny...
SO... now i just need to copy a sappimg onto my gold card and flash off that which ill do tonight
Ill give a full detailed HOWTO with links to the files once im back to normal.
Its taken me about 3 full days and about 3gig of downloads to get this sorted. If you dont have a gold card then your SCREWED... well not totally you need to get another phone eg android or a windows mobile 6.5 with eaRET on it works also

Now I am very curious. Where did you get this RUU? I still don't see how you fixed it. I'm looking forward to seeing you detail this.
The new RUUs come in 2 zip files - the first with the radio and hboot and the other with the rest of the files. You can rename them as sappimg.zip to try to flash them from RUU, since they are signed by HTC.
However, as far as I know those RUUs are for 32A only. If you had HBOOT 1.76.0008, 0009 or 0010, you can not flash a lower version ROM even with a gold card. The SPL/HBOOT and radio combination actually seems to work on the 32B. However, you would need to be able to boot to a custom recovery somehow to do anything special. The system.img on the 32A RUUs I thought were too big for 32B. So if you were able to flash you must have had enough space on the 32B and I was wrong. I wonder why people are getting stuck though.
The reason I called a brick is because the only available 32B HBOOT have lower ROM version strings (2.x series ROM) than the 32A RUUs (3.x series ROM version string). I still don't know if 32A RUUs actually work on 32B.
You can flash the 3.05 series SPLs all you want, but they are all perfected. The only other option for the 32A Magic was booting to the leaked 3.04 ROM with SU in the system image, but you would not be able to flash that. So are you saying that it actually works?
Anyways please report back

No they dont work and hence why it bricked the phone, the good part is that it never flashed the rom so I was sweet with getting the phone back. Prior to flashing it was 32b 1.33.0010 eng s-off G, then 32a 1.33.0009 s-on H and now is a 32b 1.33.0010 s-on H... rom is 2.56.??.? which ill have to look up later when im back home either way its gone from a 32b to a 32a stuck in RUU USB (due to not enough room to flash the rom) back to a 32b which works just is all arabic.
With the GOLD card it allowed me to flash a different Custom ID on to my phone, replaced the Radio and SPL and which then changed the phone from 32a to 32b, I even reversed it and did it again to makesure it wasnt a fluke and it wasnt. if it wasnt for the fact that the order of the flashing occured the way i did i wouldnt have been able to fix it as it would tried and flash the SYSTEM b4 it would flash everything else which would make it hang !
As soon as ive rooted the current rom (which is harder than i expected due to the rom version) ill do a write up on how to fix it as there are a few steps inbetween.
.
Wait so you never flashed 1.76.x did you. You just had 1.33.0009 and you typed it wrong in your first post?
If so we don't need a walk through for that. The one at unlocker.net would have served you perfectly.
what walk through was that, ill re 32a it again and ill let you know that it was.
just an update ,
Yes it was spl 1.76.0009
i have since flashed the phone with 2.56.494.7 and now have to wait until someone gets a rooted version of this rom or releases a later gold card version of sappimg.nbh or sappimg.zip to cut a long story short this is what happened.
1: flashed a Sence-IU for a 32b (but it wasnt it was for a 32a)
2: ended up with 1.76.0009 and the radio which goes along with it.
3: now reads 32a s-on H
4: made a goldcard
5: had to flash with 2.56.494.7
6: first flash of this rom replaced the SPL with 1.33.0010 (perfected)
7: screen now reads 32b s-on H
8: rom failed to flash
9: re-run the update of 2.56.494.7 and the phone flashes and reboots
10: cant root the phone until a newer version of sappimg.nbh is released
11: can use the phone but the arab applications dont allow the market
12: now its a waiting game.
Hope this helps others with bricked phone... If i had to do this again i wouldnt have flashed the 2nd time with 2.56.494.7 but instead a different RUU for the 32B this would have ment i would have been able to root the phone... Live and lean !

I have used the guides in this post to fix a friend's 32B Magic, which he had flashed with an RUU for 32A Magic. It works just fine.
