I'm following the HTC Magic CyanogenMod install Wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod) but I cant get the first part to work I've downloaded the sappimg.nbh file and copied onto the sd card and booted the phone into safemode? (the bit with the skateboarding droids...) and I can get to step 5 but trying to flash the image gives me the error:

As I've said It's a United Kingdom HTC Magic from Vodafone which are 32B devices
Thanks in advance!
aren't vodafone unlocked anyway
Sorry I should of phrased that better I just want to load the Cyanogenmod on the phone but the wiki says that I need to downgrade from donut to cupcake to be able to flash it with the custom firmware
sorry for the badly worded post I'm a relative newbie to the whole android thing
Had a look round the forum and there's a lot of talk about perfected spl's? dunno what that is but the info on the skateboard scrteen is as follows:

i have the same problem...
i cant do enything... dont see my device but when i put in CMD - adb devices then the pc seeing my phone and see the serial number
this phones with UNKNOWN 32B from vodafone cant flash root or enything you must have the GOLDCARD settings to your sd card
and then you can flash an other RADIO and then you can put the recovery and the roms
i sittin here with my magic on the 1.6 Android
and want a hero rom
hope you cvan do this....my englische is not so good and cant do enything to get it work
I take it no one has achieved this yet, I to am looking to root my UK Vodafone magic with a SPL 1.33.0007 but it seems no one has quite cracked it yet. Or that is the impression I get from reading threads here about the "perfected SPL".
The perfected spl is rootable ... here are a few links for you:

I have the UK Vodafone HTC Magic, after hours of browsing i found the answer
forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=15656486&postcount=3058
note. that guide links to the last release of cyanogen, this is the new release
n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.13-signed.zip
after the step where it says
"• Now you can reboot into Cyanogen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
i didnt install cyanogen recovery. i installed amon'ra, this is how you do that
get amon' ra recovery image from
androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
Hi all,
I had problems following the Cyanogen wiki the other night, some grerat guys in freenode IRC on #cyangoen helped me manage it, a few incorrect instructions.
Im not using the perfect SPL or whatever but I managed to root & put on the latest cyanogen release.
Hit me up if you want some tips.

Of course let's try every key we can, but don't you think the carrier would have restricted it to their signing key only?
Possibly another method that requires UID system that we could do on a terminal app?
Code:
echo 'boot-recovery' >/cache/recovery/command
echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
dumb question. Since everything on the mytouch is basically the same as the G1 (with the exception of the ROM), could we fool the NBH that was released for the G1 into thinking it's a myTouch Rom and use it to downgrade, gain root, then upgrade? I'll fully admit that it seems a little far fetched, but figured I'd ask.

no because then the nbh would fail the sig check
The Honorable Mr. Haykuro様 suggested that it should be possible to take an officially released signed-by-HTC NBH containing a hackable SPL, copy it to SD card using a card reader, and booting the phone while holding down the volume-down key. This should flash the SPL with one that allows fastboot.
not exactly sure what you need but when i do power + vol down, i get the 3 android on skateboard, then these txt show

Any good news yet?
really want to install the new Hero ROM on my magic ..

A noob question ... can we flash the new HERO ROM to magic by pushing it directly without using the recovery image?

pushing it would require root, right?
no news update on this thread yet :-( i'm ready to write off this phone. practically nothing without the google suites of app and market app.
Ready to Donate $50 to the guy who roots. Otherwise the phone is useless. Help Please!!!
me too in the waiting ...
After purchasing htc magic in india, I too figured out that its SPL is the unfortunate one : HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H : CPLD-12.
Though some options are available to install applications from:
1. http://slideme.org/applications
2. http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/!index
3. http://www.openmarket.co.za/
But above are in no way comparable to Google apps,Market place.
Eagerly waiting for this SPL to be cracked .
count me in. ready to donate to anyone who could help bring life to this phone. btw, i will never buy an htc until i've visited xda-developers.
I have a Case Study with a HTC locked on Vodafone Magic 'logo "HTC magic" after following some of his guides on xdata Amon_Re.
But I think first of all have to give precise figures in relation to the terminal because you can understand the full problem.
Original data from fastboot mode:
HTC Vodafone magic
sapphire PVT 32B ship on G s -
HDBOOT 1.33.007 (Sapp 10000)
CPLD-10 radio 2.22.19.261
As we understand it was a perfect therefore nothing spl root,
Then I followed the guide on Ciato Amon_Re to obtain root permissions thing perfectly successful
result:
sapphire pvt 32B ship off-s-H
HDDBOOT 1.33.2010 (Sapp 10000)
CPLD-10
Radio 3.22.20.17
At this point I installed a terminal suitable for the recovery and so far so good,
but Tentet to install a cyanogen always following the various guides did not get to nothing more than the terminal remained stuck on HTC logo magic, then I decided to change spl convinced to do the right thing and always referring to the collection of Amon_Re I made and installed the Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 followed his guide, since the terminal is stuck on HTC logo magic me access without in any way they fastboot ne ne adb recovery.
Now I wonder what's wrong and you can retrieve the terminal and somehow I have to give up and consider brickkato the terminal.
Thanks to all who know me a useful tip to retrieve the terminal in advance, I also notice that I have already tried all possible ways but with negative results, therefore, only those in genuine familiarity with these terminals may help or advice for the best.
In whatever way each council will be appreciated.
While waiting I extend best wishes and thanks to everyone.
Noone will help you if you keep re posting your threads.

Hi, take a look at post #45 on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610496&page=5
I was in your exact same position and it took me four or five weeks to find a solution – I did read that one of the rooting guides on the cyanogen wiki did work, but I know that I had the same HBoot details as you.
You will need to get another SD Card to make a GoldCard there are a lot of steps to follow but it is worth it – just make sure you follow the GoldCard instructions closely
solution
after many many hours searching i find solution!
i root it without Goldcard method or flashing SPL.
for those with same SPL as me i found right sappimg.img that works with my SPL verison.I chose tutorial at unlockerz "How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!" now you can make cupcake 1.5 without "wrong Main Versio" or "Wrong Model ID…" i use unlockerz tutorial to cupcake..those 6 steps.
becouse im newbie at this forum rulez dont let me post link of those file.Nme of that file is "vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh" try google it or PM me i can send link by PM.
im happy to done it without any risk of phone.
big thx spences10 for helping me!!!
My Voda Magic stuck in RUU screen. I can see my device through fastboot devices command however I'm not able to see it through ''adb devices'' command.
Since ADB is not working I can not use the recovery screen either. All the RUU roms I've tried (I think I've tried all the available RUU Roms) stuck in unzipping system files (usually at %81).
I've followed all the tutorials on the site but most of them are using adb commands and I'm not able to use ADB Shell anymore. I've downloaded latest SDK and drivers but still no solution. By the way I'm using Windows 7.
I'm ready to donate (50 USD) the friend who may solve this problem.
Thanks in advanced to all people interested in my problem, and sorry for my English.
I see on the RUU screen the following details;
SAPPHIRE PVT32A SHIP S-ON H (The original was 32B but somehow it turned in to 32A)

Dude, it is very important to know what's your Magic. 32A or 32B
And it's imposible to change 32A to 32B (32B to 32A) with programm, cause it's version of motherboard
If your Magic is exactly 32A, you must:
- test fastboot mode (Turn off, turn on by pressing Back + Power)
- test command "fastboot devices" in fastboot mode
- create goldcard (if you want install other ROM)
- run this RUU Update with goldcard inside and in fastboot-mode if you want get root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5526163&postcount=1
And another question. Do you use original cable?
yep, if you get fastboot then you're not bricked. The RUU as mentioned will get you back to a good point. It does make your heart stop when that happens...
My Magic is definately a 32B but it turned in to 32A after sappimg upload. I'm not able to use any of the button combination. It only opens RUU page and thats all. Fastboot devices on command promt shows my serial number. But if I give the adb devices command it can not detect my phone.
With that SPL your only chance is the RUU mentioned above.
Next time verify that the procedure you are about to use is for the 32B Magic.
Another strange thing is that hboot is changing everytime I use a different RUU Rom. Like 1.76.0009-0007-0010 etc.

I don't think that you have 32B in the past! It's ver5sion of motherboard and it can not be changed by sappimg r anything else. Only techcenter can change motherboard!
You think he is lying?
The Vodaphone Magics were 32Bs were they not?
I didn't realize Vodaphone had a 32A model too. ?
Your right. All the Vodaphone Magics are 32B. But the stupid me have been able to turn it in to 32A.

All? Hey, what's about Portugal, Greece, Romania, Czech magics? They are vodafone, but they are 32A.
Read more info: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_determine_if_you_have_32A_or_32B
Did you run RUU, what i posted in the past?

Create goldcard
Then run RUU
Yes. I've tried that already. stuck at %81 system unzipping.

Please provide Part Description from: http://service.htceurope.com/htcdistributor/Default.aspx
I am trying to root my phone to cyanogen becuase I am sick of waiting for 1.6 to get upgraded to v2.x by vodafone. I have all the files that I require to root the phone listed bellow:
Amon_RA_recovery_v1.7.0G.img
cyanogen_v507.zip
GoogleApps.zip
When I get into fast boot and follow the instructions on the cyanogen wiki for my version. I run in the the error which is <Remote not Allow>, I get this at the first step when fastbooting the recovery img.
I have been looking through XDA for an answer and I think the reason is that I have the dreaded 'perfected SPL'. Here are my Fastboot details for someone to confirm for me: (copied everything just in case)

I found a thread that would help solve this problem I think (link is at the bottom of post as I cant post hyper links) but I cannot download any of the, I get a file no-longer exists error. I don't particularly wish to go down the root of changing the SPL as my Magic is on a damn contract
Is there any known ways other than this to go around installing cyanogen onto the 'perfected SPL'?
Thank you
