Hi,
I'm a newbie with android but have spent a lot of time the last few days reading the forums, and I can't seem to find any reasonable solution.
I have a Magic 32B from Vodafone germany.
So I started by following Cyanogens instructions...
. Install_the_Latest_Android_sdk
. Downloaded latest CM recovery
. Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image:
* http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
. Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device:
* http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip
. Put both of these files on your SD card
. Plug the phone into the computer
. Reboot into fastboot, and pressed back button until it appeared in a bar. Although for me it was Red not yellow.
. Ran fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
However I received the error of perfect SPLs. So I used the instructions from Amon_RA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Copied ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) to my GoldedSD card.
This completed successfully....However, when it boots in recovery mode I just see a black screen that says htc magic. And it stays there. Left it for about 10 mins and nothing.
I tried pulling the battery, it booted regularly and into Android 1.5.
So I thought I tried flashbooting CM-recovery1.4. Now the flashboot worked at sending over the cm-recoveryAgain, black screen just saying htcmagic.
Can someone please help me, my goal is to load a recovery rom, than install CyMod's Rom. I was following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
For reference, before starting my "upgrade" the phone was:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G

Running android 1.5
Now reads

Thanks in advance!
P.S. I forgot to mention, I also tried booting recovery mode without the SD card, and same result.
Can't boot recovery
Ok, can someone at least tell me why I can't boot a recovery image? Are there any reasons?
exactly the same is my situation
that gold card thing just messes things up i guess
now u have to flash a 32b radio and how and where u will get it i am also searching fr it if u get a solution leeme know or update the thread
Recovery image issue....Ok, it seems I figured out why the recovery didn't work.
As you may notice from the status, that image flashed the phone from:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19 26I
to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-3.22.20 17
So you need a recovery that is now H not G. (like recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img)
Now recovery is available. So I followed CyM's instructions, just with this recovery image, Erase successful, and write successful.....Fastboot/recovery still working perfect, however telephone freezes on HTC screen during boot.
My thought is I should load an SPL that is G, fastboot RA's G image, then boot into recovery and re-load the CyGens ROM loads (as described).
Can someone with more experience let me know if I'm on the right track.....I was thinking of using RA's update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed as I believe that is a G SPL (not sure), and where can we get a G radio?

That is not correct! You still need to use a 32B recovery image => recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img
G = 32B
H = 32A
AmonRa, since I loaded
ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) from your thread, now my status during fastboot screen reads..H not G.
If i run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img it just hangs at HTC screen.
If I run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img, I get the recovery menu.
This is why I was thinking of somehow flashing an SPL that is for G, then the G recovery menu, than a G Rom.
So how can I get back to: SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G? And do I need to flash the radio, if so where can I find radio images?
Thanks AmonRa for your help and all the work!
@Amon Ra
i have the same issue as
@iammenotyou
my phone was
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPL-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
the above was the detail i wanted to downgrade it in order to root it so had to use the GOLD CARD method to bypass the model ID check as i had a perfected SPL
so now i have the following detail
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP20000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
so the radio changed to 32a and also show H here after that gold card flashing
i try to use one click root method got flash rec 1.1.3
and i says
" PHONE TYPE IS EBI1/32A "
and try to flash some G recoveries like recovery-RA-1.3.2G.img
and reboot in try to get flash recovery console it stuck on the boot image saying HTC MAGIC while if i use a H recovery image i get the recovery console
now SIR what can be the solution of this problem
waiting for some experts opinion on this

Hi,
Well as I said, my unit was an 32B with s-on G. After I ran that package in fast boot it became a 32B ENG S-OFF H. Also the recovery images only the H images would work from this point forward. (which are supposedly not for my device)
So I went and tried to load the radio for the G (from HTC ion site) onto it and rebooted instead of also loading the SPL. So now its bricked. HTC logo screen for fastboot, recovery and regular boot.
So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G. (Although somehow I'm sure it can be restored, better safe than bricked. Now I just hope the service center can fix it)
SaQuibs: Best of luck....One thing you may wish to try since you've been changed to H like me, and can't boot the regular OS, is to fastboot RA's H recovery image, and than wipe and load an H OS like RA-IONv1.6.2H and see what happens. Since it doesn't include a new radio hopefully it will boot Again good luck!
the problem is not with the ROM 2.53.707.2
the problem is with the GOLD CARD coz i loaded a different rom
wat i did was loaded an H recovery and then loaded a 32b rom but it was stuck on boot screen
i have no plans to brick my phone as the country i live in there are no service centres of repairing places and HTC phones are not sold here we have to import and HTC gives no support as well
so planing to sell it
"So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G"
the problem is not with the rom its with the GOLDCARD method as i used a different ROM in the same thread
and what i did was i flashed an H recovery to get the console and flashed a 32b rom in it and phone was stuck at boot screen, so thought i bricked my phone but then again i created a GOLDCARD to get back to normal
so now dont want to experiment anymore
as HTC dont sell there phones in our country and so they do not provide any support for us either no center or repair places if bricked

i have posted a thread also and i have also discussed here
sent PM to qtek and Amon_Ra and few other experts on the forum but didnt get a reply yet
lets c if they can figure out something fool proof and can be fixed its good or i will be selling the phone nxt week
Read this post and execute the part to revert back to the 32B radio and ROM.
The problem is NOT with the goldcard, because that works perfectly.
The problem lays in the fact that you don't know what you are doing, and you flashed a 32A NBH onto a 32B without even knowing what exactly you were flashing

Yeah I was too fast, didn't read everything...
So by using the goldcard method you automatically end up with a "H SPL" and 32A radio? Or is there a way to around this, without manually reflashing another SPL and radio.
I have a Magic 32B with a perfect SPL and the goldcard method is the only way to go, right?
i cant install the fast boot
and is that risky?
and lastly with my current status of the phone which recovery can i use and which roms can i load

When you try to flash a NBH from another country/operator the CID check will fail and the flashing will stop. This is done so people can't just flash a rom from another country.
A goldcard (this is what engineers at HTC use) avoids the CID check (CID = Customer ID). This is the only reason why we use a goldcard, it has nothing to do with fixing a perfected SPL, or getting root, or whatever people tell you.
If you have a perfected SPL you can't use fastboot to flash or boot an image.
To fix this you will have to flash a non perfected SPL.
The only way to get a non perfected SPL is to flash an NBH that contains a non perfected SPL.
The problem is that we only have a few NBH's available that contain a non perfected SPL and a CID from another country/operator.
Unfortunately they are also for 32A devices and not for 32B devices.
This is the only reason why you need to get around the CID check and why you "upgrade" to 32A, and afterwards downgrade back to 32B once you have a non-perfected SPL.
If you have a 32A with a perfected SPL you'll only need a goldcard if your CID is different than the one of the NBH you are flashing, you'll also have no issues with a different radio because the NBH is for a 32A already.
If you find an 32B NBH with a non perfected SPL you'll also not have the different radio problem and you might not even need a goldcard if the CID is the same as the one in your phone.
Please be aware that you don't need to fix a non-perfected SPL to get root.
At the time that I wrote the SPL fix we didn't know about kernel exploits so we used this way to get root. In the mean time other ways are discovered to get root (like flashrec etc..). Those methods will however not fix your SPL so you will still not be able to use fastboot to erase, flash etc.
It's always easier to have an open SPL so you easily use fastboot to flash stuff to your phone.
You can also change the CID in your phone to a super CID (all 11111), when you have a super CID you can flash anything you want and you'll never need a goldcard. Changing the CID is something for another thread
Hope this makes things more clear
@Amon Ra
things are crystal clear the problem with me is i coundnt configure that fastboot thing i followed the instructions on android site but could not install the sdk tool and use fast boot
so just wanted to as that if i use an H recovery to get to the recovery console will it work for me can i flash new ROMs
coz i am already tired dont want to experiment any more

hello, i give my htc magic 32b to the shop to be repaired.
they call me in 15 days. i tell you if it good.
thanks for your answers.
I think the key thing people are missing here is that this persons phone was a 32b not a 32a and after the bad flash its now coming up with 32a, i have the exact same issue and nothing seems to work, so i think ill tuf it and go back to my Windows Mobile (as much as i hate it) phone
A.
ok i have fix the phone, and ill post up step by step instructions tonight on how to do it with credits to the people that put me on the right track
You guys need to use the search function and read.
This issue has been posted multiple times before. Flashing the 32A only ROM on a 32B makes you unable to get out or RUU update mode. You wont be able to put anything on the phone, as the image extraction process will error out. You are now the owner of a brick.
perhaps you should have a look and see that i have kinda fixed the problem, and this wouldnt have happened if someone on here hadnt said that the rom was for 32b when in fact it was for 32a.
Please see my other posts for the fix for this..
Hi, folks!
Couldn't find any topics about having problems with rooting HTC branded magic devices after applying _HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver ROM from offical HTC home page, so have to ask.
Situation: HTC branded magic (32A). Before applying above mentioned RUU, tryed to root my phone. Everything perfect, but than i applyed backup from recovery flasher. Than installed this nordic RUU and it is not possible to root device using recovery flasher any more.
So how to root this device? Any ideas? I can't even downgrade to basic HTC provided ROM i had before.

Did you try the goldcard method ?
I know for sure that goldcard method do work... I have rooted some magics with that SPL and Radio... So go ahead...
Hi there!
Tryed using goldcard method, but still it doesnt work. I used this manual - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
I get to this point "- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it." and than it says: "Main Version is older!" and that's it. Where do i go wrong?
UPD.: Tryed this file (ROM v2.53.707.2) and those two manuals (http://vivekgolecha.blogspot.com/2009/08/as-promised-i-said-i-would-come-up-with.html and http://mariusmadsen.dk/2009/11/25/how-to-root-a-danish-htc-magic-from-3/) to get everything working.

Hi all,
I thought I would start a separate thread for everyone to get the proper instructions on how to upgrade to the new 6.35 radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.
Too many people are confused on the directions for upgrading. I want people to be happy with modding their phones, not angry with me.
If followed exactly, these directions will help with the issue a lot of users are having.
THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!!

For everyone who is flashing to 1.76.2007 and getting S-ON in their HBOOT,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643291
They should know that they need to use the command "fastboot enableqxdm 0" to get S-OFF back with that SPL. This information should go in your SPL + radio update post.
Also, ezterry and lbcoder confirmed the reason of SPL+radio flash bricks, and is suggesting a way to flash the SPL+radio to avoid bricks. :

Hi
Maybe a verry a dumb question....but i want to ask it anyway.
I was wondering if there is another way to update the radio and SPL.
I only have Windows 7 and as far as i know there are some little problems with htc drivers and android sdk and i really don`t want to brick my phone.
Can`t we update them with Amon RA`s recovery just like we do with a new rom? (by pressing power and home button and renaming this files to update.zip and apply them?)

I did most of this from Windows 7 the first time I flashed.
You don't have fastboot mode with Windows 7?
That is a good thing to know (that we can update radio and SPL under Windows 7)
I will search for adb and drivers for my Magic and then ...... CursorSENSE 0.8
Only one question:
I have

When i flash your radio,some error come.
E:\flash>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (21376 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Now,i found the way to slove this problem.
If your SPL is 0009 S-ON,you must update it to Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 first.
I fount the SPL here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
cursordroid: Is there any advantage in using the upgraded radio? (Other than to run your ROM) Thanks!
Update: Sorry about it. didn't read closely the first time round.
Please help
Guys - every time I try to flash the CursorSense 0.8 ROM from the Recovery menu, my device goes into this infinite loop of rebooting....or, it will just lock-up in Recovery after a few second - and I can't do anything. If I'm lucky enough to be able to click on the "update from ZIP" menu and then select the CursorSense 0.8 ZIP file, the device just goes into an infinite loop of rebooting on me forever!!
here is what I have....I believe that I did everything correct when I upgraded. I came from a very old Recovery (6+ months old) but all the updates from the instructions I found here in this thread went perfectly. Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I would be GRATEFUL!

Anyone? Thanks SO much!
UPDATE
OK - so after stopping to eat breakfast and get my head together, I realized I was NOT using the HERO version of the Recovery file. So - I re-did the steps with the HERO version of the recovery, and now at least I don't lock-up or reboot when in the recovery menu.
NOW - when i attempt to run the update with the CursorSense 0.8 ROM, it starts to find and open the package (as normal) - but then about 5 seconds into this, it stops, and the screen returns right back to the main "Recovery" menu. When I try to do it again - the same thing happens.
I'm ALMOST there...! Any suggestions on this last issue as to why the update process starts...and then abruptly stops and goes back to the main recovery menu?
Thanks again!!
UPDATE # 2
So - NO - I'm really not an idiot...but for some reason, I decided to walk through all the steps in this thread again (except for the radio update because it was done already) - and now it all WORKED! The one extra step I took was wiping my SD card (which was a basic card with NO extra partitions and I have used it to flash dozens of other ROM's without an issue) and started from scratch with that too, just in case. Well, it worked!! I just installed the CursorSense 0.8 ROM successfully and it is booting now (nice Nexus boot screen BTW).
So - thanks for letting me vent and ask for help on this thread...it made me double and triple check a few things, and bam! I got through it.
As always - this forum and you guys are ridiculously amazing!
Happy holidays

only upgrade radio and spl,you won't lost any data.
Hey Guys
Just wondering, when you run the "full nandroid backup", do you use the recovery for the magic or the one you download for the hero?
Sorry if this seems a rather simple question to many of you, I'm brand new to this.
Thanks for any help
