Newbie Here
My HTC Magic:
Carrier: Cosmo Bulgaria Mobile / Globul
Country: Bulgaria
Configuration:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HDBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32
Updated: I`ve rooted my Magic following this installation guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/08/how-to-root-your-htc-magic/
daldroid-htcmagic1-signed
daldroid-recovery
I`m not sure if daldroid and nandroid ROMs matters here?
Strange, some of the programs requiring root acces (Like Power Manager) are not working and again asking for root... but others are working properly..
I`ve read all the articles related to the SPL, HTC Hero ROMs etc., but didn`t find specific answer to my in mind question and confirmation if i understand it correctly, so here i am with the specific questions:
According the the above specification of my phone i assume i need first to install this SPL:
Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2005 Signed update.zip (This is the same one as the Haykuro SPL). from this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
- HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H : CPLD-12 (Greek)
I`m planning to follow this WiKi guide for the SPL:
1.
Flashing new SPL's and Radios
Push the update.zip file to your SD card or mount the SD card and drag and drop it in your OS:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
When you are done pushing it. Start the phone in the recovery mode by turning it off and then start it by hold home+end.
Then in recovery mode scroll down and press apply:update.zip, wait until it has finished and then reboot.
Once i successfully flash the SPL i guess i just need to choose the Hero ROM and then flash it?
For example this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-magic-including-hero-roms/
I really need you guys to confirm what i`m planning so far or to correct me if i misunderstand something.
I`m really trying hard to read all the articles and to understand what i`m facing and your help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Post your question in the Sapphire general forum. This is the Sapphire android development forum, you aren't trying to develop anything...
Can I throw something out there that's not entirely unrelated to the above post, in the hope the board mods are watching?
I can see both arguments from those in this thread - the OP is asking a question about how to make use of the development that goes on here, whereas Cheesebaron is taking the purist approach. Two to three weeks ago, I was at the same knowledge level as the OP and posted a similarly dumb query on here. A few weeks on I'm merrily contributing by fixing Exchange compatibility on Jerpela's builds. So I would say to those hardcore purists on here, don't scare off the noobs - you don't know what they'll eventually evolve into.
Now speaking personally, looking back to a few weeks ago, I would never even have dreamed of looking on the general board for answers on how to implement the things found on the development board. "General", to my mind, seems to suggest things more like "where can I get a nice case for my Magic?".
The answer? The Dream guys have a Q&A board which is clearly designed for the sort of post that started this thread. We don't. We need one.
Nobody willing to confirm or correct me?
Well looks like i have to brick my phone first and then ask any kind of questions... and maybe... someone like "Cheesebaron" will kick me again `cause it`s not in the right forum...
Thanks anyway...
Here you go.
Get your SPL Here
And this is the guide I like to fallow. It's for the Rogers magic but it should work for you just fine, just make sure you use a ROM for a 32A board.

Thanks man...
I gues i need this SPL: Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2005 Signed update.zip
`Couse i`ve already saw a guy with the same Board and Radio bricking his phone using this one: Modded HBOOT-1.33.2004 by Crios Signed update.zip
Here's what I did.
I followed this recipe found at http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545226
Then used this ROM instead of the suggested fatal1ty one. http://www.4shared.com/file/118776501/c759bba3/myhero-008.html
I have the exact same board as you.
I have no problems whatsoever, and the ROM seems the fastest and most stable I have tried. No overclocking needed.

32B Radio
Im finding that with my 32B magic that I keep losing the network signal and it doesnt automatically re-connect to the network when the signal comes available again, I have to select airplane mode and then turn airplane mode off.
I think at some point I may have flashed my radio but in all honesty Ive lost all track of what ive flashed
currently im using
62.50s.20.17h_2.22.19.26I
and NK02s latest ION rom
Is anyone else having this prob or know where I can get a download of the 32B radio?
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.
***MOD EDIT***
PLEASE READ THIS THREAD FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097
***O.P. EDIT***
The link above does contain some more detailed information but the guide below has yet to cause a brick.
IF YOU PLAN TO FLASH THIS SPL PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST
This is for the Dream/G1 ONLY. If you have a Sapphire/MT3G this SPL is not needed.
If you have no idea what a SPL is or you are looking for info on other SPLs please read this page http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL
Let me start off by saying that I have nothing to do with the actual development of the SPL. I also take no responsibility if you do decide to flash this SPL and brick your phone. That being said I decided to create a "How To" for the SPL for the simple fact that I would have switched to it long ago if I knew how easy and safe it was.
The SPL that you need for many of the new Eclair ROMs along with Hero ROMs and some Donut ROMs like Super D is a special SPL created by Haykuro that basically gives you more space to flash larger ROMs. When Haykuro first released the SPL there were reports of people bricking their phones. It turned out that the reason for the SPL causing a brick was because the SPL needed to be flashed over the latest radio and requires a PVT board. If the SPL is flashed over a radio version prior to "2.22.19.26I" or on a DVT board it will cause a brick. After people heard about this SPL causing bricks it became known as the Danger or Death SPL because of the danger that it can cause death to a G1.
A lot of people including my self were very worried about flashing the SPL in fear of a bricked phone. The result being many people not wanting to flash certain ROMs because they do not want to brick their phone. Some devs have actually changed their ROMs just to make them small enough to flash with out the Danger SPL so that more people will use their ROM.
Well if you are reading this and you don't have the Danger SPL because of the fear of a brick well then don't worry its ok to be scared but this "How To" will get you through it safe and sound.
IMPORTANT: Before going any further make sure that you have PVT board. You can do this by rebooting your phone and holding the camera button. The first line should say "PVT" if you see "DVT" then DO NOT flash this because odds are you will get a brick but If it says "PVT" then you are good to go.
First you are going to need to download the latest radio and the SPL. both can be found here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ There is also a new radio that is compatible that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
Prior to starting the installation process please make sure that your battery has a good charge. Also DO NOT pull your battery out at anytime during the installation process. I know it seems like common sense but I read a thread where someone had pulled their battery in the middle of the installation process and they ended up with a brick.
Now that all that's out of the way lets get started!
1. Copy "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" and "spl-signed.zip" onto the root of your SD card.
2. Reboot into recovery. I suggest using the RA-dream recovery you can download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
3. Wipe your phone "factory data reset" (this step isnt really necessary since your phone is wiped after flashing the SPL but I always like to wipe before flashing anything)
DO NOT SKIP THIS NEXT STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
You must have the latest radio "2_22_19_26I" or "2_22_23_02" to flash this SPL if you already have the latest radio you should not have to flash it again but it will not hurt if you do flash it again. When in doubt flash it anyway.
4. Flash the Radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" it will install and then it will ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and then reboot back into recovery.
5. Flash the SPL "spl-signed.zip" it will install and then ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and reboot into recovery so you can flash your ROM
A simple way to make sure that the SPL flashed correctly is when you reboot to the boot loader screen by holding the camera button you will see HBOOT-1.33.2005. You can also see that it flashed correctly by checking your system size it will now be 89mb a very easy was to check this is with the My Account app available in the Market.
Great idea to post this again, since so many people are asking about it.
I flashed mine way back when Haykuro first posted it, and I seem to remember that you had to have a PVT board as well. Is this still the case? I can't remember whether or not anyone found out otherwise.

PVT = a must have.
Also forgot to mention that when you reboot after flashing the SPL, you have to reboot with Home+Back

Yeah thats a big reason I decided to post this, so many ROMs now say they require Death/Danger SPL and only a couple actually provide a link or some type of simple instructions. I figure with a dedicated "How To" we can eliminate questions about the SPL in ROM threads and make people feel a little more comfortable with flashing it. I dont believe anyone actually tested it without a PVT board. I havent even seen anyone one here that doesnt have PVT board. Just in case though I will edit the OP, thanks for remembering that because I completely forgot that it has only been tested on a PVT board as far as I know.
also you should include how to know which spl you have. i was about to flash the danger spl again because i forgot i already had it

If I remember right, some people flashed the radio first, and still bricked, and the difference was that they didn't have a PVT board.
Maybe you should also put in big red letters at the beginning about flashing the radio first. You can tell by reading all the questions on here that at least half of the people don't read the instructions, they just flash away in any order they feel like flashing!

Very true red letter warning has been added.
Please if anyone has suggestions for this "How To". Dont hesitate to post. I made this to help people out so if you have an idea that will help let me know.
When I first got a G1 as a test phone I tried to flash the radio/spl and it failed repeatedly. I'll try it again as I have had the phone for awhile and I want to try some of the newer ROMs
EDIT: Still getting fails on the radio flash.
it says:
Install from sdcard
Finding update package
Opening update package
E: Can't open /sdcard/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
could it be my sd card?
It looks good now!
I remembered right:
Ok if u press the camera button + power to power the phone up and if u see "PVT" then ur good to go if u see "DVT-1 or 2" then u should defenetly not flash cuz almost every1 with dvt gets "bricked".

I'm snowed in tonight, so I'm gonna try this out. I hope everything I need to know is here. If I do a Nandroid+EXT backup before, will I be able to Nandroid Restore after the SPL upgrade?
So I tried to flash the spl yesterday cuz i wanted to try out some new roms, but I kept on getting errors everytime I flashed the spl and it aborted. So after a while i just gave up and went back to cyanogen. Does anybody know why there would be errors when installing the spl. and yes I did flash the radio first.

That is correct. This SPL actually is the one that if for your mt3g but edited for the G1 so that it can flash larger ROMs.

Its called Sapphire to dream port for a reason.You can use the .2004 or .2010 SPL or whatever its called instead.
If I already have the correct radio, do I have to re-flash the radio again before flashing the SPL?
The reason I am asking is that I have 2 G1's.. the first I unknowingly did everything right and have the danger SPL without any problems. When I went to root the second one a couple of months later, I bricked it even though I thought I did everything right. Now my "new" phone has the correct radio, but only the engineer's SPL and I want to try some of the newer ROMs but am afraid to brick the phone again.
Thanks

I just had to do a warranty exchange and ended up with the 1.33.0007 s-on H. I had to go through the entire goldcard procedure on the Unlockr's page in order to get that bad boy rooted... 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!

Sigh! The danger of assumptions and reading material that is a few months old. Just because something is posted does not mean it will work from then on. Manufacturers are constantly creating new versions of the software to stop hacking. Your fender is in that boat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
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 guys,
Recently picked up a White 32A Magic and am having difficulties with it. Info is:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30
Laptop is loaded with working drivers as have previously flashed two others 32A's with CyanogenMod.
The phone gives the FAILED (remote: not allow) response when trying to fastboot into RA_Amon's latest Hero recovery image.
Am I stuck here?
It looks like I can't goldcard it because I need to flash to a higher ROM and there is not one available.
Yet Amon_RA states specifically in his Hero recovery thread that "it will also work on the 32A Sapphire if you flashed the 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL".
If it's of any use, I believe the phone originated in Thailand (has the CN Thai Keyboard).
Help?
Would appreciate any input.
Thanks
Scott
Quick question... did you bother to read any of the stickies on top of this section of the board?
Sure did, wanna direct me to which one answers my question?
Also searched, and found conflicting information, hence started a thread.

I would, except I'm not familiar with which SPL to use with the new radio, since that kind of opens up a few more possible ways to get bricked.
Exactly why I started a new thread. There is no thread I can find, nor external site, which already covers my exact situation.
U'r not searching or reading at all.

I've reread your post several times and still don't understand why you can't use a goldcard. That's a perfected SPL but I'm 99.9% sure it's rootable. You can't use fastboot because you need an ENG SPL. A goldcard downgrades or just basically changes your SPL/Radio, why would you want to go to a "higher" aka upgrade your rom? That might just bring you to an unrootable SPL. You should be able to downgrade it using a goldcard. Maybe this will help? I have a hero with basically the same info that you've provided and simply used flashrec to root it. I did have to use a goldcard though. I don't see why you can't use a goldcard. Do you know what a goldcard does? I doubt it.
I love how you say it looks like it doesn't work with a goldcard. Did you TRY it?

Haha, so true. +1 to this. I decided to take a look, it's everywhere in there.

It's everywhere, you didn't try did you? I type in google "Fix perfected SPL" and "htc magic perfected spl" and the guide kencix gave you is right there. Make yourself useful and don't make useless threads. This also has nothing to do with Android Development.
@scawtt: My magic had the same specs of yours. I follow this step-by-step and my phone is rooted now.

This is the only helpful post in the thread. Listen to this man.
No offense to others, but all he wanted was what ramersonw said.
