Hi I am a total noob and have been reading through loads and loads of pages on here and am getting a bit confused - please can someone help?
here are the details of my phone:
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000) : PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10
I have read that this may be a perfect SPL but am I right in thinking that the 'one click' method from unlockr can get round this? do I just need to root follwing that method with the amon recovery or do I still need to change SPL? if so do I do this by following the goldcard method on here?
is that all necessary if all I want to do is flash a new ROM or do I just root and upload the ROM? (preferably cyanongen's latest offering or one of the many Hero ROM's that are floating about) I am still trying to get my head around this all, what I really want is to load the new ROM and use Loccy's betterbrowser.
If someone could explain in more detail, that would be great - not each process as I have the tutorials but just what stages I need to go through (for example - root using one click method...)
These are some of the things I have been looking at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKPsClQiFVQ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
any pointers to other tutorials I may need to look at would be also appreciated
Cheers Marty

Country: Bulgaria
Configuration:

HDBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)

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.

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?
Hi all
Using instructions from here:

To downgrade my Vodafone UK 32B Magic from 1.6 to 1.5 but after trying to HBOOT with the SAPPIMG.nbh provided, it gets so far then fails saying 'Model ID Incorrect'.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Yes I did. And just to be certain i've just done it again and I get the same error. It looks like it is doing it, then it says something like 'Checking signature' then the error comes up.
Do you put the sappimg.nbh in root of sdcard? Not in folder.
Yes, it finds the file. It is the only file on my SD card, not in a folder. It asks if I want to continue. Blue progress bar appears in the top right of the screen, it goes all the way (takes about 1-2 mins) then the message 'Model ID Incorrect' appears.
Man... try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Hmmm. The reason I went to for http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod as a set of instructions is it was all on one page, looked fairly simple and it was recommended by someone with the same phone as me.
The other link looks complicated and I haven't got a clue what it does.
Maybe you need create a Goldcard, and the other link can help you make this.
I think. It´s a tip.
Anyone got any further on how to downgrade 1.6 to 1.5 on a Vodafone 32B Magic without using the Goldcard method?
I'm suffering the same problem, is this problem documented anywhere else and apart from the GoldCard method are there any other solutions?
Hey guys I'm new to this android hacking scene but I've finally managed to do it after doing near enough everything the wrong way lol
I am also using the vodafone 32b UK phone (well its my sisters really ) and I also used the same 'CyanogenMod' guide to do what I wanted (root/custom roms at last!)
Before i go any further though... are you all wanting to downgrade to simply install custom roms etc.. or is it for different reasons?
If its for different reasons then I have no idea on how to downgrade but for the other thing then I can probably help you out! I won't waste my time typing it out yet though if its not what is needed..
Hi, yes I want to downgrade so I can install custom ROMs.
I too had this problem with a Vodafone UK 32B Magic trying the "Downgrading from 1.6 TO 1.5 and Rooting for T-Mobile MT3G" method.
But when I tried the alternative "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" method at that link, in other words using the Android SDK & fastboot to boot the cm-recovery-1.4, that worked like a dream.
So I didn't need to go the goldcard route.
This is good news sandersw.
Where is the easiest step by step for the method you suggest?

I did that allready but i cannot understand if there is a way of doing that or not. I think that this forum is for helping people.
I used this method for about six months ago, it's certainly more ways to root your sapphire but her is one.

There are many many tutorials here that will help. If you would search a bit you would find it rather then expec someone tot ake time out to sit down and hold your hand.
Im not trying to be an ass here, but how will you learn if someone else has to do it for you?
You have a perfected SPL im sure because the fender has 0013 and its perfected. Which means you need to find Amon ras Perfected SPL thread. combine that with the rooting/downgrade methods and you will be all set.
But honestly, if you cant remember the name of a rom you want, then how will you downgrade your phone....
no help..
Listen: I've search a lot around at these pages. Many hours!! But as you'll have noticed if you had read my phone specifi, there are not many who can get a SPL 0014 updated. and those you have I'm not sure how they did and what they use.
There's no treats for a SPL 0014 and that's why I started one.
If you don't know how to help me and others who have the same problem then you just don't have to answer.
Hope someone else can help because I really can't find a how to guide for this specific SPL.
THANKS!
Hi Guys.
I updated to the HTC Sense UI Rom, and it updated my Radio and SPL.
Can someone please point me to the correct link to Root the phone now, the current details of my phone are as follows:

I previously had SPL 1.33.0010 and used FlashRec.apk with Amon Ra's Recovery Image for Sapphire c1.6.2H
Am I still able to use FlashRec, and is there a new Amon Ra Recovery Image I must use ... or do I need to do this another way now?
Any assistance will be helpful

I trust you guys to know more than I do ... seems like it's a nice simple one with the right SPL ... only issue now for me, is how to I back up my old one first and is there a way to do it without the SDK cause my computer refuses to install it :/
