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?
A friend of mine purchased a Dream. Even though it has a 32B motherboard, it has the same SPL (1.33.0010) and Radio (3.22.20.17) as my 32A Magic. Since it has the perfected SPL I used the Flashrec program to flash a new recovery image. However all the Amon Ra recovery images for the dream didn't work. Eventually I let Flashrec automatically download a recovery image. It said that the phone was an EBI1/32A and downloaded Cyanogen 1.4.32A recovery image. This recovery image actually worked, so I tried loading a few Hero Roms for the Dream. Unfortunately none would boot.
I've scoured the forums can't really find a solution. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574561 suggests that a ROM with a 32A kernel is required. Would this mean that 32A magic ROMS would work with an EBI1 Dream? Which ROM should I try?
Also I'm not really keen on changing the SPL or radio as my Magic works perfectly running MyHero 2.0.5 and RAv1.2.1H recovery ROM

Questions are best answered in Q&A section, and anyway do you have the danger spl and new radio. You need these to run hero
Oops my bad, perhaps a moderator could move it. It has the perfect SPL and version 3 radio. The exact same ones I have on my Magic which runs a Hero Rom

Sorry, don't mean to sound rude...but you don't understand the question. He's asking if it will work as-is, since other devices with 32A radio/recovery run Hero ROMs just fine.
To the OP, this is something currently being discussed in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581165
I'd suggest reading up on that thread to see what progress they've made with getting ROMs to boot on a 32B Dream with 32A recovery/radio. Hopefully that will help you out!

They were in a thred but have been deleted and now cant get back..
Please help
Look for amon_ra perfected spl thread.its in this forum somewhere,sorry I would link but I'm on edge connection
I am no longer endorsing this...plainly for the fact that it took too long to revert back to 32b.
if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:

Still, it doesn't increase the amount of internal memory you have on 32B. It makes 32A roms work on your 32B, but most of them will run slower than they would on native 32A's.

make sure you have installed all drivers from your phone. make sure debugging is checked in settings and then plug in your phone. Install any drivers if prompted. Then uncheck debugging and plug your phone in again and install any drivers. Thats what I had to do oddly.
No luck
Still wont work. There must be another way to change phone from 32b to 32a cause this aint workin for me

what operating system are you using? and do you have adb installed?
Is there anyway you can give really detailed step by step instrutions for those of us who are new to android? That would be awesome. Thank you!
dude if you can't install htc sync then you prob shouldn't even be trying advanced operations like this no offense. Its not really all that worth it anyway to switch to 32a. You don't have the correct drivers 99% sure. install adb first. then install htc sync. plug in your phone go into control panel--system-device manager and see if it was installed or if there are any question marks.

I would not be doing this if I was new to android. This is for advanced users. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448. It is the dream rom dev section and you can flash any of those roms to your MT3G being that you have the correct spl and radio. hope that helps

Thanks, but I am not new to the forum or phones or android for that manner, I was speaking for some of the newer people in the forum. Your instructions are basically just some links to a bunch of post that dont work or downloads that go nowhere. All I am saying is include the names of the files you are linking to so we know we have the right ones and be a little more specific please. I mean no offence but even for advanced users your post is confusing.

"This is not unrooting your mt3b for idiots." I'm not gonna make a full detailed guide on how to do this. Its not rocket science, just simply follow the links. Furthermore, im not the originator of this method but several users and devs (Eugene373 was original one who recommended this) have tried this method and been successful. If you can't read and follow simple steps then there's nothing I can do for you. Proceed at your own risk bro. and I fixed the broken links in the first post. don't kill the messenger man im just passing along information from a higher source.

Lol no you wont! ROMs dont brick phones!
You can flash a 32A rom but it will not boot, simple as that.
it might boot you know...
i recently had to send back a bricked magic, on warranty. and the magic they sent back had a perfected spl.
the sappimg.nbh i used on my goldcard was from a 1.5 32a rom. the tutorial i used said do not let the phone boot.. and then flash it with a 32b radio spl etc...
but it booted... un-intentionally, but it did boot!
and now my 32b is left with a 32a splash screen.
so i wonder what other roms will work??? im 2 scared of bricking another device tho!

do you8 have a 32a magic or 32b magic on the spl?
the reason 32a wont boot on b is because if the partition for data or system is too small on what your using it wont even fit it all

It did boot because that sappimg.nbh flashed a 32A radio to your 32B device which allowed a 32A rom to boot
32A Roms on 32B phone
If you look into the past search for evil D ROMS I remember that I converted my phone into a 32a and was able to load 32A ROMS I still have the files around to convert it over and revert, but as to what I noticed is that they don't run all that good because our phones have less memory and RAM in them to perform like that...It's weird now that their is so many 32A ROMS and in the past their were more 32B Roms...Sadness..
