Way of getting Hero’s Bluetooth audio working on Sapphire 32B device - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

There are three things need to be changed to make the bluetooth working on (MyTouch 3G, Magic or Saphire) 32B phone.
1- Radio should be changed from 32B type to 32A type.
2- Kernel should be changed to kenel 2.6.27 (the Kernel should support BT e.g. HoFo-12. Note that not all Kernels support BT). "This only for developers to change Kernel"
3- Recovery should be changed to recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img
There are three options avalibale to change the phone from 32B to 32A mode:
Option 1:
If the device is not yet rooted, First root the 32B device according to below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Please follow above link and stop at Revert to 32B Radio and ROM i.e. do not go and apply this step and beyond.
Option2:
If the phone is already rooted and has 32B radio (radio 2.22.19.26I), execute below steps to change the radio to 32A radio (radio 3.22.20.17). Also flash the Recovery RAv-magic-v1.2.3H.
Put the phone is fastboot (hold back button and press end button)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery (does not matter)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.3H.img
1- Press MENU to power off! (do not reboot)
2- Hold HOME and POWER to boot into recovery mode
3- Apply 32A ROM.zip
Option 3:
Even if your phone was already rooted as 32B device with 32B Radio, above link will still work if followed to set the 32B device in 32A mode to accept 32A ROM’s with working Bluetooth.
Now the 32B device is ready to accept 32A ROM’s, choose one among 32A ROM’s in below links (These ROM's have already a working BT in their Kernel 2.6.26) :
1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274
2- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534415
3- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548837
4- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575501
Pleas follow the link associated with each ROM to update the device with chosen 32A ROM to flash desired 32A ROM in the phone.
Note that these three ROM’s are little bit slower because they are based on HTC Kernel 2.6.27.
I prefer two ROM's which are:
1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274
2- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575501
This is because there is a way to optimize it by using the “Swapper” application available at Android Market.
The steps to optimize this ROM is to two partitions FAT32+SWAP or even FAT32+EXT2+SWAP in Sdcard. Easiest way to create the 3 partitions, is to use recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img at below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Set the device in the Recovery Mode (Hold HOME and POWER to boot into recovery mode) to create the 3 partitions.
Then download Swapper application from Android Market to the phone. Start Swapper on the device and go to:
Configuration/ Settings/ Advanced preferences and check Use swap partition. Then set the swapper on. Finally close the Swapper.
Note using RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img enables only 32 MB swap while recommended is 128 MB swap. An alterantive is to use Paragon Partition Manager or any other avaliable methods to create the swap partition.
Note that whenver the phone get restarted the swapper has to set on again.
These ROM’s can also run in regular Home or Sense. Home is faster than Sense if someone does not like to use swapper. Please download and install “AdvancedLauncher” application from Android Market to help choosing the preferred Home, Sense or AdvancedLauncher. Note the device has to be restarted to choose the desired home.
Now the 32B device should be working on 32A ROM with Bluetooth sound.
Note that the 32B device will only accept 32A ROM’s now.
If Revert to 32B Mode is desired, please follow below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Start at Revert to 32B Radio and ROM to revert the phone to 32B mode to accept 32B ROM’s again.
Enjoy your 32B phone with working Bluetooth.

Interesting. How safe is this? Changing device radios is usually where bricks happen and it makes me nervous.

I have changed my phone mode I. e. Radio many times as I mentioned without no issues at all. I always switch between 32A and 32B.

But how's the speed ?
Let's say this posts recommended MyHero 2.0.4 (with swap enabled) for 32A against other SenseUI ROM's for 32B (which it is actually/hardware wise is).

This is very interesting...
I want to see a proof of 32A Radio running on 32B before flashing..
Maybe this owuld fix BT for g1 too?

Would love to see Proof of this.

Oh, and for G1 users, they would have to fastboot the content of the sappimg..

i can vouch for this. when i first rooted my 32B MT3G i used this rooting method (before any other where discovered). I ran 32A Roms on my mytouch for a few days before switching to the 32B radio (since there where more options for 32B at the time)

Wasn't there a lot of discussion when the mt3g first got root, that you could stay on the 32A radio? I got mine the day they came out, and I think I remember that the original way we rooted left us with 32A radio. I seem to remember that the flash back to 32B radio was discussed as optional? Don't go on my memory though, I'm going to re-read those old threads.

yeah flashing back to 32B was optional. But 32A roms didnt run great since their kernel was optimized to run with more RAM.
To OP... hows the speed in comparison to say... evils nano rom?

Yep, I went back and re-read the original thread that Amon-RA posted, and I also ran 32A for a few days, because I had to decide if it was worth the risk to flash the radio again if I didn't have to.
BTW, are we talking about stereo bluetooth, handsfree phone bluetooth, or both?

HTC Magic Voda UK ROOT ACCESS Howto

To those with HTC Magic on Vodafone UK, with SPL 1.33.2005.
***Quick note - if you have tried to do Haykuro's root access method and found out that the reboot command didnt work, then keep reading as you would have installed SPL 1.33.2005 at the beggining of his method!
if you want to check then turn off your HTC Magc, and boot up fastboot (back + power) then just look at the top and see what it says! it should read like this:
SAPPIRE PVT 32A (or 32B) ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
certain parts of the fastboot stuff wont be identical to mine but as long as it says the same as what is in bold and underlined above, then you'll be all good!***
I had the same issues as you with my magic, such as following all of the instructions by haykuro then when it came to #reboot all I got was a uid error.
What I did after was hard reboot my device, downloaded the GoogleION (revision 2) ROM (ion-signed.zip) and installed it, I now have root access!
I am not finding any trouble with this rom, bluetooth, wifi, gps and accelerometer are working great and as for the audio problems, I haven't noticed any. This build is wildly fast and no laggy keyboard, no waiting between closing huge sms threads or closing heavy apps, you can have voice search and amazon mp3 also super user whitelist is also preinstalled.
ROM DOWNLOAD HERE: http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/ion-signed.zip
Installation instructions for ION:
*Follow the same proceedure as before with haycuro's method then when the REBOOT command fails, hard reboot, (take out battery from phone to turn off then put it back in and turn device on)
*reconnect phone to your computer and transfer the ion-signed.zip to your sdcard, either by mounting the card to the pc via the phone or by adb push method, just make sure you rename it 'update.zip'
*Enter revovery mode (home + power)
*make a nandroid backup
*select wipe all data
*select update from sdcard
*let setup complete then hit home + power to restart into GoogleION R2.
It is required to wipe your phone else you will get a bad install or things won't work and that would be bad!
Make sure to copy your nandroid backup to your pc, and then to a disc or memory stick as you will need this if you botch up any future updates or if you want to return to Vodagroans crappy ROM.
PM me if you want more info, or preferably, email me at [email protected]
Emaling me would get a faster response as google mail comes straight to our phones! Hope this helps and enjoy GoogleION!

Thanks dude, with your post and some other tuts i managed to make my own tut in my head.
And guess what.
Works like a dream . It's that kind of magic
TY again.
I Did haykuro's on my Vodafone HTC magic AUS not UK (but maybe the same?)
at the end of the rooting, the reboot command, and I just turned the phone off and on.
After that, I was able to get the root # using adb sheel, but thru the terminal, i always got $.
I read somewhere else thaty I needed to install another su binary, so i followed that precedure and now it's ok.
noobie qu: does this procedure replace the deafult rom with a custom one ?
yes it will replace it.

is the ION rom (I assume the one it is replaced with) based on the latest android (i.e. is it more or less advanced then the stock vodafone uk one I have now ?)

just curious
my vodafone magic (uk) went fine through the rooting experience - my phone is a 32b
then I read a post that said there is a different root image for the 32A and the 32B, the image for the 32A is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3972848&postcount=6
I wonder if this is the cause of the problem you mention
as its nice to be able to root and have the option of keeping the stock vodafone firmware
Hey,
i had problem rooting my Australian Vodafone magic too, but the problem is that the shell command could not find "reboot" command.
To fix this i have to manually create a symbolic link with reboot and than i could run the reboot.
is quite easy to fix if the you type "reboot" and an error appear saying unknow command.
just add the symbolic link to the same area as "sync" and it should work.
Cheers
Hello, i got a newbie question too. My phone specs are as follows:
- HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10 Radio 2.22.19.26I.
Has anyone got the same model and give pointers or instaructions how to root successfully?
Thanks
Hi htcmagic, I actually have the same SAPL number and everything else is exactly the same as yours.
I got it from Vodafone UK. I was just going to post the same question here.
So, we both have a 32B model and SAPL 1.33.0004. Can anyone please recommend a good rooting guide for this phone? I am having a very hard time locating one.
Thanks a lot!

I have used this page
http://www.androidiani.com/dispositivi-android/cellulari/guida-root-del-magic-2543
and translated to english and worked.
the only line i havent executed is
"adb shell flash_image recovery / sdcard / recovery-new.img"
because i ma not interested putting roms on my magic.

[HOW-TO] Take me back to my 32A radio

Did you flash Haykuro's radio to be able to run those great 32B roms on your 32A Magic? Do you want to be able to undo this and revert to your good old 32A radio?
How :
- Download and unzip this (md5 : 5C6DA74ECB33E8AF0116E06763B63467)
- Boot into spl and fastboot
- Type in the following:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
- POWER OFF (not reboot, power it off) THE DEVICE. (you can do this using the corresponding button [it says it on the screen] or just pull the battery [make sure everything is done flashing of course])
(if you don't boot into recovery or accidentally rebooted, just pull the battery [if you notice top left it should read "FASTBOOT" or "FASTBOOT USB" if it's plugged in] you're not bricked, you just need to access recovery, not standard boot ;P)
- Hold down the HOME button and power it on, you should boot into recovery mode.
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Flash your 32A rom/restore an 32A nandroid backup.
It works! Thank God! All the 32B roms were working like crap for me. Thanks much for all the hard work!
I had the same feeling ^^
I'll wait for the 32A kernel source to be released so I can add tethering etc. myself.

Yes. Very, very much so. I tried a few 32B ports and noticed alot of lag. I also noticed that you could flash Dream roms, but again, the lag and unresponsiveness (and home screen reboots) made it a hair-pulling experience.
My advice: don't bother.
Thank you!!
shouldnt the roms be working faster as they are designed for 32B (less ram), and 32A has 288mb....
so overall, shouldnt the device perform faster?

I "think" that you will only be able to use 100mb of your RAM.
To be confirmed by someone who did the "downgrade".
oh i didnt think of that
that does make sense unfortunately!
waiting for someone to confirm...
Thanks so much for this Amon_Ra. I had problems (understatement) with the other ROM's, Cyanogen's stable 32B port worked okay, but even that was pretty slow on my phone. I'm happy to be back running your 32A Rom.
Thanks Amon_RA. Your ROM is far faster than any of the 32B versions out there, even with Compcache and all the other stuff turned on.
Great work and looking forward to your next ROM version!
Here's a bit of a silly question, but is the hboot for this method modified, since its 2009 but allows Nandroid restores? Or was there a change in the recovery that allows it?
is this loss of ram reversed by switching back to the first radio?

Yes. Running my phone with my original Fatal1ty Hero port, and it's still fast as ever.
I'm just wondering, but what is the total amount of memory actually available to a 32A phone? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I'm just paranoid over whether switching from radio to radio has diminishing effects over memory

on my 32A the actually available memory is:
MemTotal: 197144 kB
Physical memory is 288MB, memtotal gives you the ram available to linux kernel.
In this case, switching the radio rom implies switching the used kernel.
The kernel for 32B initializes the ram memory size which is available on those boards, which is 192MB total, hence the almost 100MB less memory available to running kernel and applications.

Okay, thanks! It seems like my phone has recovered all of it's memory
Thanks for the recovery radio Amon_RA
I cant wait for you to make tethering possible when they release the source

Why wont they release it already ?
Oh wow.. I didn't even realise people were flashing radio on their 32A's in the first place!

Will This Work or Brick My Phone?

Okay my phones info is as follows:
UK Vodafone running Donut 1.6
Code:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Jul 31 2009, 15:49:25
Now is this or is this not a perfected SPL "1.33.0007" as I cant do jack with it nor can I get any computer to recognize it when it's in fastboot connected to a PC...*sigh* (although it will when it's turned on)
Now assuming the above is correct and it is a perfected spl will the below work:
Step 1
Flash the phone with the 32A ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) this being a higher rom version than my own from Amon_RA's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218)
Step 2
Change the radio (any recommendations?) back to that of a 32B HTC Magic device and install CyanogenMod using the info again from a different Amon_RA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1)
Step 3
Sit back and bathe in the glory of my finally rooted HTC Magic?
Thanks in advance for any and all help even if it's just a quick reply to tell me I'm off my trolley and it's a sure fire way to brick my phone
Has anyone managed to get anywhere with this hardware. I have exactly the same version of hardware and have not been able to get it to connect to the pc in fastboot.
I would imagine that a lot of people are in the same position, with the same hardware so could someone point us in the right direction please.

Yes, 1.33.0007 is a perfected SPL, but nevertheless you should get fastboot to recognize your phone. Did you properly install the Android SDK USB drivers?

I had the same perfected SPL on my 32B but (luckily) with Android 1.5 CRC24.
I think it should work if you flash a "official" vodafone 1.5 CRC24 1.33.0007 image, then install flashrec on Android, change the recovery Image, boot into recovery mode and flash an engineering spl. Thats basically what I did, except for the downgrade to 1.5.
AFAIK on 1.33.0007 you should be able to downgrade without a goldcard.
Same Version
Hello everybody,
i have the same phone with the same SPL, too.
My Problem is when i try to flash the sappimg.zip with the POWER on and Volume down methode, everything wents fine.
But after reading the Update File i end up with an error like:
"Main Version is older".
Don't know what to do...
Phone HTC Sapphire (Magic) 32B Ship S-ON G
SPL(hboot): 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
I already tryed a Goldcard, but no luck at all
Any Ideas.
I readed 2 Threads, they got a problem with theire devices,
it also was an 32B Magic and they wanted to do an update, too.
And they ended up with the same error message, so they tryed
to flash a 32A Image, and then the 32B, and it worked.
But i am worried, don't want to brick my device.
Anybody out there, with an idea?
Greeting
ZabbensX
i got the exact same problem. waiting for answers...
If you are running Donut Rom DRC92 then at the moment you are stuck. We need to wait until a higher firmware with a non-perfected SPL is released. If you are running a Cupcake Rom (starts with a C) then you can upgrade fine. I'm in the same situation after bricking my first phone using a RUU (they are for 32As only). Luckily Vodafone replaced it under warranty but I have ended up with the perfected SPL.
After having root and now unable to get root I can't say I miss it much. It makes you think what do you need root for? One of the reasons was the ability to flash custom roms but no disrespect to all the Hero Rom developers but NONE of them run well on a 32B Magic. Cyanogens software is good but what does it do that stock firmware doesn't? Any way hopefully Eclair won't be long, a new Rom will be released and we can all change to an engineering SPL and all will be jolly again.
what's ur OS ? Can HTC sync read ur device ?
No HTC Sync doesn't recognize my phone

Thats the reason I want to use the 32A rom as it's newer then my current rom and so it *should* hopefully flash the phone including the spl and then I can change the radio back to that of a 32B device
also what do you mean about being able to change to an engineering spl in Eclair?
Also I've never been able to get HTC Sync to work ever =[ in both xp or vista, and never been able to get the drivers working properly however I am yet to try with Ubuntu

You should be able to get both fastboot and adb to recognise your phone although you won't be able to do anything. That sounds like a driver issue. If you go to the HTC website and download the latest drivers (pick the ones for the HTC branded magic) you should be ok. Try the link below.
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
As for flashing a 32a rom then changing the radio, good luck with that after already bricking one phone I haven't got the balls to try. If you do try and it works please post here exactly what you done as many people will thank you.
Lastly what I'm waiting for is a higher rom version which will probably be eclair (Android 2.0) which comes with a non-perfected SPL. Then the devs on here can get the relentless rooter to work on our phones.

u cant access it unless u enable USB debugging. If u cant pass activation, then ur screwed until u activate it with 3G
hacker1 suggested this:
Okay I post this as a private message because I don't know if I can post the links to the images on an official board.
There are basically 2 methods for flashing/rooting the 1.33.0007.
Method 1:
1.Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH
2. rename to sappimg.nbh and copy to sdcard
3. start magic with volume down+power
4. confirm with trackball
5. If everything works ok, follow 8. on method 2
If this fails with "Main version older" then copy sappimg.nbh to a goldcard and try again. (Some brands of SD-Cards are known to be incompatible with a goldcard, so you might need to try some different ones)
If it fails to flash with a goldcard you need method 2:
1. Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH (if you don't have it already)
2. Download 32A Image
3. rename 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and copy to goldcard
4. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
5. turn off phone
6. delete sappimg.zip from goldcard and copy the "Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH" as sappimg.nbh to sdcard
7. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
8. after restarting you should now be at Android 1.5 CRC24, install flashrec.apk to phone, change recovery image, boot into recovery and flash engineering spl.
Hope this will help you.

32A Rom on your 32B may brick your phone
dreamsofubuntu said:
Thats the reason I want to use the 32A rom as it's newer then my current rom and so it *should* hopefully flash the phone including the spl and then I can change the radio back to that of a 32B device
also what do you mean about being able to change to an engineering spl in Eclair?
Also I've never been able to get HTC Sync to work ever =[ in both xp or vista, and never been able to get the drivers working properly however I am yet to try with Ubuntu

*IF* you load the 32A radio and SPL and ROM on your 32B, you may only succeed in bricking your phone.
They are different devices. You can try it if you like, but be ready to throw the phone away.

Okay my phones info is as follows:

Now is this or is this not a perfected SPL "1.33.0007" as I cant do jack with it nor can I get any computer to recognize it when it's in fastboot connected to a PC...*sigh* (although it will when it's turned on)
Now assuming the above is correct and it is a perfected spl will the below work:
Step 1
Flash the phone with the 32A ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) this being a higher rom version than my own from Amon_RA's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218)
Step 2
Change the radio (any recommendations?) back to that of a 32B HTC Magic device and install CyanogenMod using the info again from a different Amon_RA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1)
Step 3
Sit back and bathe in the glory of my finally rooted HTC Magic?
Thanks in advance for any and all help even if it's just a quick reply to tell me I'm off my trolley and it's a sure fire way to brick my phone

All phones are diffrent I have perfect spl too and I manage to flash in fastboot.
I've found something which I think might help on a German android forum and it looks like the guy succeeded in doing something similar to what I posted originally in this thread from what I can gather from google translate
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-htc-magic/11285-flashen-mit-1-33-0007-spl.html
can anyone help me out and post a translation for me? (I mean someone who can give a translation not from a website unless it's blindingly better then google)
Current translation via google...
edit -
it should be called "flashed with SPL 1.33.0007"
--
Hello, nice forum you have here
I have the following problem:
Recently I wanted to flash my Vodafone Magic (Android 1.6 SPL 1.33.0007) with Cyanogenic Mod.
Since I have a "perfect" SPL, I've tried it with a gold card. Everything went well so far. Only apparently I had made a version for the 32A, then stood for in fastboot Ship S-OFF H and I could only make recovery for the HTC version of RA, rather than the Google version. I had taken here -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (SPL engineering had v1.33.2010) the rom but works as well and booted normally.
anyway I wanted to be the recovery of RA have wrote -> HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip CM 4.2.5 and later.
The flash itself went well, but I stayed in the HTC bootscreen Magic hang himself and it did nothing more.
In another forum I was told that what I have by gold card (power + vol down) flashed (the sappimg.zip) was just for the 32A, and it therefore did not go.
Jetz, I wanted to ask what am I then can take the 32B, then to flash it to the cyanogenic mod? Because irgednwie I'm a little confused at the 10,000 versions at XDA dev .....
I hope someone can help me there. I'm just glad that the phone because I did not have gebricked garkeine backup (duchzufall had found it here in the forum, the firmware vodafone stock and re-flashed)
thank you in advance
-edit -
ah, I'm stupid.
The stock firmware I had was re-flashed V1.5 .. have then by Flashrecovery the CMrecovery flashed and book now funzt everything.
no offense

So from what I can gather this guy succeded in rooting and flashing his HTC Magic 1.33.007???????????

[EBI1][ALL PORTS][DREAM][MT3G][REG DEVS TOO] Come here for all EBI1 info

It would be great if a mod could please sticky this so that we do not continue to get random threads and confusion.
I have decided to make this thread because there are a LOT of EBI1 users out of the loop, i my self just a few weeks ago (after 3 months) learned that EBI1 users can use more than just cyano.
Ok, with the recent rogers mandatory update the EBI1 community has grown quite a bit.
You may be wondering what is EBI1?
well, it is the radio version 3.22.26.17, this radio is on the rogers dream and on sapphire/mt3g/magic phones as well.
On the dream it is known as EBI1/32b on the magic it is EBI1/32a
You can check to see if you have the EBI1 radio buy booting into fastboot mode(hold camera when booting) and look where it shown radio. If it says 3.22.26.17 on the screen anywhere, you are EBI1.
If your phone falls under the EBI1 category you have a few options
1) you can go to www.briancrook.ca and use any EBI1 kernel ports from his website. He is the guru of EBI1 ports and will have the most trustworthy of ports.
2) You can visit the sapphire dev forum (on xda (just below the dream/g1 forum)) Here you can download any kernels ports that are listed as 32a or old radio. The old radio/32a sapphire has the same EBI1 radio as the rogers dream!
3) OR most importantly, you can make your OWN ports using this simple tool:
http://faruq.yandao.com/magicport/
We can credit arctu for this amazing tool!
-just extract the rom you want to use
-in the extracted folder you will see a boot.img
-in the program browse and select the boot.img
-choose your settings (minimal is optimal)
-It will create you a EBI1 kernel!
there is a discussion of this tool in the sapphire dev forum.
you may now be asking, what do I do with the port file?
Well, once you get your kernel port,
-You go into recovery (preferably amon because you can flash multiple zip files)
-Flash the desired ROM
-Flash your Kernel Port
-You're done!
We must also be careful when it comes to recovery images
Your recovery is an amazing tool and can save your phone from disaster. Remember: always make a nandroid (or nandorid +ext3) backup before flashing a new ROM!!!!
My personal favourite recovery is Amon's, it is great because it has all the features you could ever want, plus it is great for EBI1 users because you can easily flash multiple zip files without rebooting (which is what you do when flashing ROMs on an EBI1 phone)
You must be careful what recovery you install
EBI0 recoveries are not compatible with the EBI1 radios, you can BRICK your phone, when installing a recovery make sure you install the EBI1 version
With Amon's recovery the EBI1 version is the "R" version. A direct download to the recovery is here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/32033517...am-v1.5.2R.img
I would highly suggest visiting his thread for instructions on use and installation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
G1 devs please listen up:
Inorder to run your ROMS on EBI1 phones we need to make a kernal to flash over the ROM. This means that your existing kernel will be replaced, this is always a negative for us as your kernels create large improvements.
One method you can use to help reduce the gap between you regular rom and an ebi1 version is to:
1) Optimize your ROM to run at its best without any special kernal adjustments
***2) If your ROM utilizes the 10MB ram hack, please also release a non ram hack version.
The reasoning behind this is that the ROM is ment for the ram hack so 3d and hq doesn't work properly on the ROM, when we flash our EBI1 kernel over the ROM, the ram hack is gone. The result is a ROM which has the set backs of the 10MB hack (no 3d, no HQ) AND it DOES NOT get the positves if the hack (we do not get the extra 10MB)
3) Create your own EBI1 ports
thanks to ottawanate:
minimum requirements for porting a ROM to EBI1 are
1) wlan.ko patch or wifi wont work
2) boot.img with Kernel config file marked for CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_SUPPORT_256MB_EBI1=y
Please consider the now vastly larger EBI1 community when making your ROMS, thank you!
Here is a list of Devs who the EBI1 community applauds for making showcasing their EBI1 compatibility friendliness:
King Klick
enomther
If you are a dev and would like to be added to the list please post here and let me know or PM me. (with a link preferably to the page with your ROM/Kernel)
What is EBI1
EBI1 is actually a term derived from the kernel config file. When the line 'CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_SUPPORT_256MB_EBI1=y' is set, the kernel supports 32A Magics and the 3.x series radio.
The kernel itself sits in your boot partition. Typically you flash a boot.img file to your phone to install the kernel. The kernel boots up your system after the boot launcher.
So I prefer to call the 3.x series radio the EBI1 kernel radio, since EBI1 refers to support for 32A Magics as well.
Any 3 series radio needs the EBI1 kernel. So that would include 3.22.20.17. There's another one floating around and installed stock on some 32B Magics (notably from Europe).
If you have the source code of the rom you want to flash, you can build your own kernels by following the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port
What to pay attention to if I have a 3.x series radio and need the EBI1 kernel
Well first of all you need a ROM with the EBI1 kernel. First of all, the kernel itself is located in your 'boot' partition. Hence you need to be careful when flashing any update.zip files from recovery, because they may overwrite your EBI1 kernel, if it contains a boot.img. To make sure, just open the zip file to view its contents before you flash it. For example, the RAM hack requires a different kernel than the original, and application of it necessitates that you flash a new boot.img. However all the boot.img RAM HACK kernels are being provided without EBI1 support.
In addition to the kernel itself, the wireless drivers need to be recompiled to make it work with the different kernel. This file is wlan.ko. If you do not have a compatible version installed, your wireless lan will not function, which can cause your phone not to boot properly into the system, as it would freeze trying to startup your wireless lan.
The kernel goes hand in hand with your system rom to make your phone work. So if you update your system rom, you typically have to update your kernel as well.
It would be also useful to note that having the 3.x series radio requires you to have a different recovery image than if you didn't have the radio.
What happens if I install the wrong one?
Installing the wrong kernel is not destructive to your phone. If you have the wrong kernel installed, your phone will freeze after the first boot screen (non-animated). Don't worry about installing the wrong kernel.
What if I want to change to the 3.x series radio from the 2.x series radio or vice versa?
Changing to the 3.x series radio does have advantages for certain people. However, changing the radio is can brick your phone if you do not have the correct recovery flashed before changing your radio. There should be ample information on xda to help you with this process.
Other Stuff
The current active roms with EBI1 ports that I know of that work on my Rogers Dream:
Super D
Cyanogenmod
OpenEclair
Question to the OP: Does the WesGarner EB1 kernel include the 32b/dream RAM Hack?
very nice addition, to the post!
I have not personally tried a wes ROM before but i am going to assume that it does not, if anyone knows please telll us!

how is that ROM in terms of 1)speed 2)stability when compared to the eclair ROMS?
also, what exactly do you mean you used the no ram hack kernal, did u flash ROM, flash the no ram hack kernal, then flash the ebi1 kernal you made? if so, i think that would just over right the no ram hack kernal.
Or does the kernal GIVE it ram hack? thus the ROM itself doesnt have the hack built in?
on a side note:
I want to run a hero ROM but I think they are 1.5 based so I cannot use the tool on them. If anyone has any info on getting a Hero ROM working on EBI1 plz let us know.

yeah, you are going to need the danger SPL, you can follow that guide right there to get it. 1) Do you have root? if so all you need to do is skip to the part about flashing the spl zip file. if you have root i am going to assume to can get into recovery, 2) make sure you have amon's recovery (it makes things so much easier because with ebi1 you need to flash multiple zip files to get up and going at once.
please answer #1 and 2
For what its worth
I use a HTC Dream from Roger's on AT&T here in the US.
At first I used the tmobile radio 2.xxxx.
Then I read that there are higher speeds with the Rogers Radio (3.xxxx) while on EDGE.
I have done side by side tests, and at least for me, there was not a considerable speed change between EDGE speeds on either radio.
So for now, Im back to the tmobile radio.
does this mean all the lousy 32a users can use supported ROMs NOW?/ lol I dont want them all over here now, they are all snotty about G1 users being over in the Sapphire Section
Hi everybody
I just have a Dream Rogers, I have root and installed 4.2.14.1 Cyanogen. My radio is 3.22.26.17 and the SPL is Haykuro 1.33.2005 . Now I want to try the other rom requires 2.xx radio and a different SPL, I can change them or not ?
Please help me because I want to try the other 2.0 2.1 roms but not more experienced, I'm afraid to brick my phone.

when it says you need 2.xx radio, it is usually false, what it should say is that you need the latest radio (ebi1 works)
you dont need to change anything to work a 2.1 ROM, just follow the instructions in the original post, if you do not yet have amon's recovery, follow the post above this.
p.s. I dont think you can change the radio now that you have flashed your SPL, it will BRICK yor phone.

How to load ROM without nandroid?

I bricked my 1st magic;
now i have 2nd and i have no idea how to run adb and all the stuff around and after my first very bad experience i decided to to try again.
I would like to know if is possible load any rom without using nandroid.
/BTW if someone in Toronto put recovery and change radio for me;i'd pay for it/
thanks.
Like I tell everyone who posts a very vague question. What model is yours?
Pick one (32[] is shown on fastboot screen back+power)
A) MyTouch 3G 32A (Magic 32A)
B) MyTouch 3G 32B (Magic 32B)
C) MyTouch 3G Limited Edition (Fender) or 1.2 (with headphone jack on top)
Pick Radio
A) 2.xx
B) 3.xx
C) 6.xx
Hboot (usually something like 0006, 0010, 0007 etc
So on (Basically could just list your Fastboot screen)
Also clarify if you can enter fastboot (back + power) and if you can enter recovery (holding down Home + Power)
So you bricked your first.... still dont know what you are doing... obviously have no clue what Nandroid really is...
I suggest DONT DO IT....
But thats just my logical opinion
Mine is 32A and radio is 3.22.; hboot 0009

Yes you're Absolutely right. That's why I started this thread. I had my first rooted and had RA recovery.and I did it by myself.but that time I used "one click method" from unlockr. But my current phone doesn't work with that method.that's why I'm lost.
I'd like to have custom recovery and 6.35 radio and nice ROM but I know I don't know how to do it. That's why I'm asking for your help.

I thought 32A uses 3.xx. 32B can also use 3.xx, correct me if I'm wrong. From what I know, I wouldn't flash a 2.xx radio to a 32A.
Can't you just use the goldcard method? Try unlockrs one click root and try to flash an engineering SPL
i bought this 2nd magic from a guy and he already has custom ROM in it. but he has not put recovery image in it. so i wonder how he did it. all im looking for is change ROM's .
so back to my first post; is it possible load without using nandroid?
thank you

There's about 1 stable rom for the new radio. Two at the most.

You need to use fastboot/adb to push new ROM images to the phone.
You need to post all the information from your phone. I need to know if it's an eng or perfected spl as well. Getting Hboot 0009 isn't enough.
Also, can you please do me a favour before I act like a jerk.

No kidding. I also suggest you don't do it. So please, do this before I become an asshole
Go find out what the nandroid stuff does.
I'm just surprised that you've bricked your first Magic, yet you still continue not to do much research before rooting.
