[Testing] Flash 1.76.2007 Engineering SPL over 1.76.0007 Perfected SPL

Something to try if you're stuck with 1.76.0007 SPL... There is no harm in trying. If it works, great! If not, then you're no worse off...
Make sure your radio version is 6.35.07.29 by entering FASTBOOT mode. (Back + Power). If it's not 6.35.07.29, don't continue.
Download this update and save to your SD as update.zip
http://content.modaco.net/hero/update-hero-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip
Boot your phone into HTC recovery mode using Home and Power.
Press Home and End to bring up the recovery console.
Choose the option to "Apply sdcard:update.zip"
If this is successful, it will apply the update then bring you back into the recovery mode. Turn off your phone, then boot into FASTBOOT using Back and Power. See if your HBOOT version is now 1.76.2007.
We might be on to something here...

This seems to be what's happening when people try this...
Code:

That means that the Engineering SPL can't be flashed over the stock SPL.
Oh well, it was worth a shot.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

Dude nice one but what's the success rate? I'm willing to try this **** but i need more input from you, like has anyone successfully flashed it and in case it bricks my phone and it prolly will, can i overwrite it with an official Sense TW/HK/SG RUU and will it bring my Magic back from the dead?
EDIT: Got ya. Looks like it is still work in progress...

Guru, what's about thing to replace HBoot to Eng HBoot in rom.zip while RUU wait to get processed ?
It's so crazy, but ... why not?
I'm gonna compare by Hex-editor original Hero Hboot, Eng hero Hboot and original magic Hboot...
Update at 14:29 (GMT +3)
Good news:
Hboot from RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_3.03.728.4 (Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam)
Hboot from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver
HBoot from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.61_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver
are absolutely same
Checksum MD-5: 6EC7F3AF2C832B38EEECE0FD7FB66CDA
Bad news:
Eng Hboot from Modaco is quite different than stock HBoots
So it is NOT a hex-patch. It is fully engineering Hboot.
As there is one new eng Hboot for Hero, so a new one HBoot for Magic exists... but where?)

Nice anyway , if some one wants to have the new radio and be able to flash the new sense using fastboot maybe it should work to flash hboot with HBoot from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.61_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver and then flash the new radio and go on with flashing the rest...
The NEW ENG.SPL is not useful unless we get it in form of a signed sappimg.zip , here comes the big question Do Modaco has the new hero SPL in a signed by htc sappimg.zip ? if he has it then we are all set

Rom.zip is signed, when you change it the sign validation will fail.

The whole point to running a 1.76 ENG HBOOT is to be able to run Hero ROMs and the new Sapphire 32A Sense ROMs without modifying them to the current 1.33 HBOOT partition table. And I'm quite sure that the 6.35 radio doesn't run well with a 1.33 HBOOT.
The HBOOT defines the partitioning of the NAND and the new Sense ROMs can't be flashed onto the partition table defined by a 1.33 HBOOT.

I don't think we'll be able to directly flash this SPL over top of the 1.76.0007 perfected SPL.
We need to find a way to get a rooted recovery image on this phone. Through the same means that the Android Recovery Flasher or the Relentless Rooter would flash the recovery image.
Unfortunately, at this point there is no way of getting root priveledges on these ROMs.

Tks for ur work first.
Try to flash the eng. 2007spl directly over 0007, official signature is the point, but almost unbreakable?
I tried to flash 2.53RUU (with eng. 2010spl), surely, it said the main version older and aborted. So can we just modify version info in the official RUU to cheat version check? Maybe...

You're stuck with the same SPL that a lot of people have. It doesn't allow remote fastboot commands.
Ty the Flashrec (Recovery Flasher) instructions here on the forum to see if that works for you. Remember to download the HTC Hero recovery.img though, it's the only one that works with the 6.35.07.29 radio on these devices.
Try these instructions:
(I know it says for Hero, but the guide works on 32A magic with 6.35.07.29 radio)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613
Use this recovery image instead of the Modaco/Cyanogen one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
If that works, then you'll need to flash an engineering SPL.
Download it from here and save it to your SD card:
http://www.4shared.com/file/167241823/658e8174/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html
Boot into recovery by turning off your phone, then turning it on by holding Home and pressing Power. Choose the update.zip and you're good to go.
Then you can flash it back to original 32A radio and SPL using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544761
If the Recovery Flasher doesn't work, then you need to wait until somebody figures out how to root this SPL/ROM combination.

I have problems with flashrec. I installed it but when i tried to backup i see "Backup FAILED" and when i try to type sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img (i have cm-hero-recovery.img in my sdcard) the Flash Custom Recovery Image button not active... And in adb shell i dont have su permissions...

OK, then your ROM has the kernel security hole closed that Flashrec needs to run.
You're stuck waiting until somebody figures it out.

I was missing the Android Market wich didnt come with the Singapore RUU so just downloaded the the HK RUU, ran it with a gold card (dont know if thats really neccesary) and got Market.
The point being - if people are on the Singapore official update, would it be somehow possible to "patch" the HK RUU files from the temporary folders where it stores the files for the update? To say, replace the original HBOOT with an ENG HBOOT (possibly *.2007?)?
Since Singapore rom version is lower than the HK one..:
Singapore: ROM Version: 3.03.728.4(For Indonesia, Malaysia& Vietnam only)
HK-E: ROM Version: 3.03.990.6
..possibly it would skip the "wrong main version" or whatever it says during the update..?
Am I onto something here?

well first 728.4 or 990.6 is just the region code. 3.03 is the version number. and second, the right singapore rom number is 3.03.707.5 WITH market. u have downloaded a vietnam rom instead of singapore one. u can switch anyone of them without problem with goldcard since they are basically the same rom with tiny difference.

any asia RUU is ok

yes you are right. SG rom comes with market.
I have tried malaysia rom, vodaphone rom.
vodaphone rom is the fastest one for me but my pc didn't detect my phone if I install vodaphone hk rom. But it is faster than SG rom.
I have installed my SG rom on my phone several times.
no brick.
the thing is when I tried to replace any rom.zip or rom1.zip in the temp file with any other rom, somehow installation detected that i have replaced the files.
even I signed the zip. it didn't work.
even the signed the zip correctly, it will stop at hboot.
then got to install from RUU again.
HBoot seems to be so hard to crack and too strong to brick

double post..

can you tell me the step please. cause im using indonesian ruu & no market.
its perfect spl too..
Thx.. adr

About that "Backup FAILED" using Flashrec.apk..
I got that very same error when I used it on my new magic. BUT, when tried a second time (just hitting flash again) it WORKED! try if it works for you too.
I had an old 1.33 spl but don't think that part matters here

How to root after updating to 2.56.494.7 rom

I had to update my phone with the above rom in RUU mode because it was stuck in RUU mode and couldnt do anything. I have a goldcard created but I dont know what SPL to install because of the rom version. would anybody be so kind as to helping me what to do next. Thanks.

Go in fastboot by pressing back+power (while your phone is switched off) and tell as what your SPL and radio version is. I suspect it's a 1.33.xx.xx SPL and 3.22.xx.xx radio, but you should better tell us in order to help you.

HBOOT is 1.33.0010
RADIO 3.22.30.17
Im on a 32b, S-ON H.

Are you sure it's 32B, S-ON H. If it's 32B, it should be S-ON G. Be very careful. If you flash your 32B Magic with a ROM that is meant for a 32A, you may brick your phone.

what originally happened is that i accidentally flashed my phone with an 32a RUU update, which didnt finish and got stuck on the RUU mode screen. I flashed it with an arabic RUU and i now my phone is up and running again. That is definitely what comes up on the fastboot screen. Is there a 32b RUU that I can update to? or can i root my phone?
Official 3.03.990.6 SenseUI ROM for Vodafone - is where I got the rom from.

You should follow the instructions on this post. A friend of mine did the same thing and I used those instructions to install Amon_RA's ROM for 32B Magic.
Since you' ve already installed the Arabic ROM, you should do the rest:
Then follow below link to root the phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how...-in-one-click/
Then start phone recovery mode and update the SPL to ENG SPL 1.33. 2005 from below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Your phone should be 32A now, if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:

Put the flashrec.apk in the androidsdk folder. From a command prompt (the path should be that of your androidsdk folder) run:
Code:
adb install flashrec.apk
Put the exact name of the flashrec app you downloaded.

Lesson learned: Don't try to mess with your phone while drunk. You won't be able to boot into recovery and wipe the damn rom off so then you can flash everything you want.
I can give you instructions on how to make a goldcard and try to flash it back, but without a working recovery, I think it all went to hell.
PS: Have a Bacardi and Cola on my behalf, you just ultra bricked your phone. =)

No he did not brick his phone since he can get into fastboot.
You should find a RUU for your phone and run that one. (one of the 32B RUU's)
The other option is to download a sappimg.zip/nbh and put in on your SDCard (most probably you will need a goldcard) and power your phone on while holding vol down+power.

[GUIDE] Rooting your Perfected SPL Magic!

You're probably thinking why this idiot has posted a short rooting guide with no pics for the HTC "G2"/32B/Sapphire. I know there are others out there, but they are too long and take too much time compared to this method.
Well, with this method, you DO NOT need to DOWNGRADE to 1.5/1.6 from the OTA Froyo and is COMPLETELY friendly with non-data users, like me. This method WILL give you su and superuser access on the OTA Froyo update.
Instructions:​0) (As a pre-requisite, backup your sdcard on your computer, just in case, because the apk is known to erase/format the sdcard in the phone; It never happened to me, but it is better to play it safe)
1) Download gingerbreak from this thread (Yes, I know it says gingerbreak but it works on froyo also)
2) Install the .apk, run the apk
3) Phone will reboot, if successful
4) You are rooted! Superuser will be installed.
5) Continue below if you desire to continue to flash a custom rom

It is tested working by me on a T-Mobile Magic 32B that was unrooted with Perfected (S-ON) SPL and 2.22.28.25 radio. I used Gingerbreak 1.20.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT: Please test and confirm it is working. If this method works, goldcards will not be needed to root devices with S-ON

Now you have root, now what?
Download the 'busybox installer' by Stericson.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After installing busybox and rebooting, you need to flash recovery.
Instructions​1) Download this binary (flash_image) as the OTA Froyo does not have it.
2) Download the recovery image from this thread: AMON_RA Recovery
3) Unzip, and copy the binary to sdcard and rename the recovery image you just downloaded to 'recovery.img' for simplicity
4) Now, I hope you have Android SDK installed as the next steps would be much easier with it (You can do it via terminal app on phone also)
Code:
adb shell
su *NOTE(You may need to press "allow" if the superuser prompt pops up)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin *NOTE (You cannot 'adb remount' or push any files to system/bin, that is why cp is used)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
5) Recovery should now be installed, and you can update your spl so you can install other roms, radios, hboot, etc...

I think you can try this method, but make sure you flash a matching recovery. Maybe RA-1.7.0.1 or Bladyle's RA-2.2.0. After that you can flash S-OFF in recovery. What's your current SPL and Radio?

Can this method be used to achieve S-OFF on a 32A Device, running Rogers 2.1 Sense rom with new 1.76.2007 ENG SPL and new radio?

This guide seems to be aimed at 32b devices running stock froyo
And (on 32b at least), eng spl=s-off...

The thing is that the phone currently has RA 1.7.0 recovery installed and the latest radio + 1.76.2007 ENG SPL, but I have the S-ON and I want it OFF since I want to downgrade to the old radio and SPL.

I don't see how you could have s-on with an Eng spl... flash a different spl?

Was your SPL always S-ON or did it change back to S-ON after being S-OFF?

I had not noticed it till now, but I think that it has always been S-ON.

I asked this because the 1.76.0007 ENG SPL should have S-OFF. Try this command in fastboot mode: fastboot oem eraseconfig. After this check if the security of your SPL changed back to S-OFF.

It is only tested working on a 32B device with 1.33.0013 S-ON perfected spl (that came with the Froyo OTA update, if I'm not wrong).

Thanks. That did it.

Why does the title say 1.33.2013?
The only 2013 spl i know of is a edited 2005 spl that was used to trick updates... and its s-off

There, fixed it. I mean the *Perfected SPL* that comes with the Froyo OTA 32B Update. Sorry for confusion.

Mytouch 3g 1.2, used gingerbreak to root, phone rebooted verifyed root access, RESULT= PASS . It did not install superuser.apk rebooted phone after gingerbreak result= FAIL.
Any1 know why its not allowing me to install busybody?

Is there a certain version of android I must have in order to root? Should I flash downgraded rom in order to root? I currently have 2.2.1 should I downgrade to make root easier?

You don't NEED to downgrade, but I find rooting 1.6 is the easiest way.
If this guide didn't work you might want to do the rooting manually. Go to c-skills.blogspot.com (hopefully thats right. Going by memory) and download the gingerbreak or killinginthenameof binary (gingerbreak is made with gingerbread as its main target, killinginthenameof was gonna be gingebreak but Google made some changes that prevented it from working. They both should work but if one doesn't, try the other) and run that in a terminal or adb. then push superuser.apk and su to their proper places (/system/app and /system/xbin I think). I can be more detailed if needed.

Thank you for the prompt reply, I tried rooting with gingerbreak V1.20. The phone rebooted, I then ran a root checker to verify root it says "phone is rooted." But, don't think it is..... MY MAIN GOAL IS TO INSTALL CYANOGENMOD7 ON MY FIANCEE'S MYTOUCH 3G 1.2(HYBRID) If you could be make a short detailed guide that would be most helpful, I appreciate everything. If you could alsogo a little more Indepth about pushing applications and such.. thanks again. =)

Okay.
Install rom manager from the market ad try to flash clockworkmod recovery. If it works, you had root and can now flash roms. If it doesn't.. post that and ill give better rooting instructions

So I rooted with super one click method and have a working super user (I think) it let's me use titanium and set cpu...so can I just skip the first post and start at the second post right?..and if so I was wondering if anybody knows if I can just start flashing away after the second post instructions or do I HAVE to flash a new spl..currently ship s-on .33.0013 I have the ota update radio as well...I'm not a noob to android as I have a cm7 nightly powered s-off tmobile g2,but a noob to my wifes mytouch, when I rooted the g2 (the way I did), is I rooted it then entered commands into terminal to get s-off, flashed cwm, and then it was game on...so is flashing a new spl the same as getting s-off in a way?? And if I have to, can somebody give me a link to a recomended spl?? Any info is appreciated..ty.
