Thanks again.
the whole dump is an nbh file that has to be flashed from the sd. Anybody know how to crack it open?
I bet it contains other fixes as well! The message on Twitter said that they fixed some bugs!

I remember back when I had my Wizard, there was a tool to pick apart nbh images and reassemble them. But this was for Windows Mobile, a completely different platform. Perhaps the basic file formats are similar?
Use qmat. It can unpack nbhs.
Mmmm, new radio.......yummy.....I like new stuff.....wait if it is a new radio, will this be able to work for us, how to we know that this won't jeprodize us with the danger spl. I know I ain't gonna be the first to try this

my thoughts exactly...took enough balls to go for the danger SPL in the first place.
my current radio works fine, so I am not going to mess.
then again...never say never. thats what XDA is all about
Well we know the radio calls the spl and that the old radio was not able to call the hayruko spl which cause way too many paperweights so how will we know if this radio will also call it, we can assume that since it is an update would but the word assume means to make an ass out of you and me, so is there any way that this can be checked or tested numerous times before we possibly get another wave of bricks and without a cupcake over the air excuse to fall back on. Just my thoughts.
Never change a running system my father tells. Me all the time.. ;-)
Yeah but I like new stuff, I got so used to it feeling like christmas around with new stuff all the time that I got spoiled. I have had this radio and spl for 3 months now and I am bored off it. I demand something new that could cause some new widespread havoc, can't we get something that causes a self destruct if installed incorrectly, kinda jealous of those iphone 3gs users and their exploding batteries, I want something that explodes and catches fire. I demand a refund what am I paying you dev for, wait I don't pay you, nevermind forget this whole post
P.s. I am just playing
rogers is DREA210
we have mostly DREA100/110
i dont think we r able to flash it...
Hardware is identical.
So it should work OK.
Just give me radio Rom only and i will flash it asap.
drea110 here.
You can go back to default by flashing DREAIMG.nbh and then re-flash with this Rom and all will be OK.BUT YOU WILL LOOSE ROOT!
And that is why i didn't flash it yet
Am waiting for someone to give a proper radio Rom to flash.
There will always be a question about whether any new radio image (IPL) that ships will be compatible with a hacked SPL or other SPL not intended for the specific device. This new IPL could very well brick every device it is installed on when mixed with the deathSPL. I very strongly suggest that nobody tries this IPL unless they switch back to their STOCK SPL. Now that HTC has so kindly provided the kernel source needed to build custom kernels that will boot on a stock dream as provided to rogers, there is absolutely NO NEED to continue using the deathSPL phone killer.
Hey, does this nbh file carry the SPL? (it must, doesn't it?)
If it does, then you could maybe just install this and reroot.
Yes it contains spl and radio rom and os rom on it so it will put back everything on stock.
But you will loose root and as of now there is no way to root on 1.5 version.. yet.
if there is i would flash it.
Re-root leave radio and check spl version.
if newer than deathspl would leave it and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
If not reflash haykuro new hacked spl back and then wipe and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
And am back in bussiness with new radio and/or spl.
But rooting on 1.5 cupcake needed to do that so...

Really REALLY WRONG!
As I rank your knowledge about SPLs,Radios and android itself with this post, you shouldn't flash this, except if you wouldn't cry and open up a thread "My G1 is dead" ;-)

And you base that on what?
1.5 is rootable - look for "goldcard"
Second: This update has a different SPL - It's not an Engineering SPL.
It replaces your recovery.
And I think these Recovery and ROM wouldn't boot on a regular T-Mobile G1, because it has a different radio chip.
It's very risky to flash this, because it's from a different phone.
It's NOT the same hardware!

I hope this is not a very stupid question, but why would you need a goldcard. Can't you just revert to RC29 and root you device the old and easy way?

Of course i didn't expect it to be engineering spl, this rom are made of normal ppl to use not experiment so normal spl would be on it but maybe the same as g1 or newer.
rogers only modification was on UMTS 850 / 1900 bands the normal g1 only supports UMTS 1700 / 2100 but rogers g1 users did flash radio rom from g1 vanilla see hardspl or even haykuro's hacked spl and they work fine so why not the contrary?
After all they keep the same base versions:
We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
They have 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
If they had: 3.0008 i wouldn't bother smells from miles is not same radio hardware
But as you can see the code is identical to each other, only newer!
The hardware IS the same my friend only they dont have dvt only pvt motherboards and they all be flashed with latest haykuro's spl and radio!
If am wrong the os will load but i wont have cell reception but that is as far as it goes for a brick.
Am 99% this rom will do just fine on any pvt g1 phone out there.
As for goldcard, didnt know there is a way to root on 1.5 please enlighten me.
Is there anything to download to make this happen? ->link
if it is am more than 101% that this rom will go on my phone sweet.
After that i dont know what happens will i be able to flash haykuro spl back or i will have a brick? will it let me flash custom rom?
Over and out.
i have a mytouch 3g , htc magic, for tmobile. its a 32b . im just wondering a couple of things. im going to flash to a hero rom today . some webpages tell me that i dont need to flash any spl before i flash the rom. others say to flash the hard spl 1st then the rom. others say to flash the engineer spl .
which spl do i need, if any ? and will this mess up my phone if i decide to go back to the original firmware ?
This should be asked in questions and answers.
(I say this to help you. You don't want to be kicked out.)
That aside...
On the rooted mytouch 3G 32B your factory or "shipping" SPL does not need to be changed to flash a hero ROM.
Happy flashing.
i apologize. ill post in the other section if i need help next time.
and thanks alot. i was so confused about the whole spl situation.
Hi all,
First off I am no SPL genius and I don't know much but figured someone should start a thread to get clarity on the matter.
I have noticed that a lot of people have questions about their SPL...
I have noticed that there are lots of SPL threads but many are not that clear (From what I have found...I am not bashing anyone, you guys rock!)
Okay...so...
Here's the first question and I've seen this asked...and I need an answer also.
I have a MT3G and changed my stock SPL to Haykuro's 1.33.2005 SPL with no issues and didn't even have to re-install my ROM. Easy!
Okay... Now I hear and see people saying to use the engineering 1.33.2009 SPL.
Q:What's the difference between .2005 and .2009 SPL?
Q:If it's worth the change can it be easily flashed from one to the other with no issues?
If anyone needs this for reference...

I also need to know. I did not change my spl. I rooted mytouch with anon ra v1.2.3.
Do I need to change spl, if I do do I need to unroot then root with other spl? Or can I just change my spl without rerooting and reflashing.?
Hey htcclay.,
I currently have mghtymax 1.9.1 Rom can I change my stock spl without removing my Rom ?
Also what's the purpose for spl? Does it make your Rom run faster

Well...
I decided to get away from the "stock factory" SPL.
I have heard that the "Stock" SPL is fine in flashing almost anything.
I mainly did so because I wanted to change my boot screen and could do so with out it.
You dont' need to un-root or re-root going from factory SPL to 1.33.2005 SPL.
It's just a simple update flash.
Was for me anyway.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone.

So what is an SPL anyway? What does it do?
The SPL, or Second Program Loader, is essentially the Android bootloader. It's job is more than just loading the Android OS - it also offers several other boot options, including Recovery mode, Fastboot, and HBOOT modes, and ultimately it's the SPL that allows manipulation of the flash nand on your device. Part of the SPL's job is to ensure that the data flashed to the device is correct. Most of the current shipping SPLs (apart from the "Perfect SPL's) let us flash a complete ROM image, but don't let us flash a recovery rom or boot image as it checks the verification signature. Haykuro has modified the SPL's available to remove this check and this is what the Engineering SPL's available offer. As the SPL is so crucial to the handset though, you have to be very careful when flashing it as if it's updated incorrectly then you may be incapable of restoring it without specialised hardware and knowledge. You essentially have a very expensive brick

Kool thanx for the info bro. I'll keep my boot screen.

Hello.
I've been here for around a week now, reading tons and tons of threads and guides, yet it leaves me with a bunch of questions i am having trouble finding answers to.
First of all, this is the information i've managed to get from my Magic
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.23.18
Sep 2 2009, 17:42:56
It's bought in Denmark, however i bought it used, so i don't know what's happend to it in the past, yet as of what i've read and tried, i believe it's still as stock.
A bunch of questions
General
1. What is SPL?
2. What are the different types and differences of SPLs?
3. What is Radio?
4. What is a "Goldcard"?
5. In what part of the proces from stock ROM to a Hero ROM is the chance of bricking the phone?
Concering my phone
1. How to you get started upgrading a stock Magic with the standard ROM to a Hero ROM? (Do you flash SPL first, recovery first, or something third?)
2. I believe but not sure, that my current SPL is a "perfect" one, do i need one of these so-called "goldcards" to get a Hero ROM?
3. How great is the chance of bricking the phone with my specs and versions, and is there any way to minimize this chance?
I hope that someone will be able to help answering my possibly stupid questions, so i'll eventually be able to get a Hero ROM working on the dear magic without bricking it.
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure if this is posted in the correct section, if not, please forgive me.
Some of these questions can be answered in the sapphire wiki, which is in the sticky at the top of this sub forum.
You can only brick your phone (completely recoverable) from screwing up when flashing your spl or flashing the wrong spl

The only thing you need to remember from the settings is 32A. Never flash anything that doesn't say it's for 32A (not entirely correct, but safe bet ;-)).
The first thing you need is to root and install a recovery, I recommend AmonRA recovery. I never flashed SPL or radio, you can install almost all ROMs without flashing radio/SPL.
now more in detail on your questions:
1. SPL (or HBOOT) is the "Second Program Loader". Flashing this incorrectly can brick your phone, so don't do it, and you're normally safe.
2. stay with stock ;-) I only flashed an engineering SPL just last week, but was flashing almost daily ROMs. I still don't see the advantage of flashing a different SPL
3. The radio is the firmware of the 'radio' chip in your mobile. Also not safe to change for beginners.
4. Not sure, it is used for rooting some devices it seems, or to bring bricked devices back from the dead. If you need to know more, you're in trouble ;-)
5. Stay away from flashing radio/SPL and you won't brick your phone (although sometimes you need to know some 'trick' to get the phone back in useable state ;-))
how:
1. root and install a custom recovery. From the recovery you can do nifty things: mount USB, wipe, flash, make a backup, restore
2. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!! With that, you can always go back to your previous state (providing you didn't brick the device)
3. take one of the 32A ports of Hero, never a ROM that is made for the Hero itself (partition layout is different, and some hardware too). I recommend my-hero 2.0.5. It works well, is made for the 32A, and safe to flash.
You can find more details on those steps in the forum, but I hope some of it has become more clear.

Thanks alot for your answers! It was helpfull. However you say that i don't have to flash a new SPL, are you sure about that? I believe i've read somewhere i'd have to flash a new one in order to get root access because i have a perfect SPL - please correct me if i am wrong
You really don't need to flash SPL (unless for cursorsense). You DO need to flash recovery, this makes everything a lot easier.
ah, you have a 'perfect' SPL, sorry, missed that part. I don't have that, so I didn't need to flash SPL at all to enjoy custom ROMs.
Can't help you with that then, search more info I'd say!
The information you provided did help indeed.
However i found out how to make a goldcard, now i just need to know if i found the right SPL to flash.
Would this be the right one for me?

can i go to the t-mobile for help? can they restore it ?
What rom did u flash, the only ond that works is the one cursordroid had in his post
i flashed the cm 4.2 for g2 rom
Flash this. Its the only rom that will currently work for the fender.

you didnt read ANY of my instructions in order.
ONLY ROM THAT WORKS IS STOCK FENDER ROM< AND YOU MUST REUPGRADE THE SPL AND RADIO AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY.

ONLY ROM THAT WORKS IS STOCK FENDER ROM< AND YOU MUST REUPGRADE THE SPL AND RADIO AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY.
I cant not SCREAM enough about how pointless rooting this phone is for your first time. I cannot belive the amount of people who decided to run out and get this fender mytouch just to root it.
there are no other roms, radios or spls that work correctly witht his rom.
Once a new rom comes out, you will have to repeat the process.
Just stop people.
If you cant get into fastboot or recovery.. or adb doesnt see it at all underl logcat, then its bricked and you didnt follow instructions at all.
