Hello.
I am just about to flash a new SPL onto this stock device - however i just read a guys post saying that he lost his 3g/Edge connection when he flashed his SPL which is the same as mine.

You can Flash it with no worries... All you have to do is use the goldcard method... Remember to backup your APN settings...
The 3g problem is to the Chilean magic related... But I found the solution to it...
You will not have the same problem...

Thank you for the answer. May i ask, what SPL did you flash onto it? And did you create a recovery before or after the new SPL was applied?

Hi pixelkid,
My Magic had the same (pefected) SPL and I've changed it with Amon_RA's goldcard method (I chose Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010). Everything works!
EDIT: With a perfected SPL, the recovery change can only be done after its change!
Hi. I also have 1.33.0014 and have successfully made a goldcard and put the eng 1.33.2010 on it (named sappimg.zip) it loads fine in Hboot but then it sais that the update is an older version so it won't let me. Any ideas?
My SPL is in my signature, but any ENG SPL should do the work...

Hi!
My magic is 1.33.0006 (Vodafone Spain) so is a Perfect SPL, I have been reading about the different ROMs and some of them need a different SPL, my question is:
If I rooted my magic (was shipped with version 1.5) and now I have installed the Cyanogen 4.2.13 and the RA Recovery 1.5.2G, Do I need the goldcard to change the SPL and the radio version? or with just entering in the recovery mode is enough?
Thanks in advance,

Yeah. Entering recovery mode is enough
Goldcard method is basically avoid region check (if you will flash official ROM, that isn't for your country). In some times GC may used when flashing .nbh to get rooted.
i still am confused about the PERCECT SPL, which I have (.0006) is this SPL good enough for flashing new ROMs, I completed the 1 Click ROOT with no issue flashed the latest Cyanogen ROM, but I wanna try a HERO rom, its kinda why I got a Android Device. This SPL stuff is actually confusing me, five years for HTC devices I have never had an issue or really been confused on what to do, there is a first time for everything.
If i do need to change my SPL, which should I goto? I would like tjust to leave it alone and contine to FLASH on, cause I've been waiting for weeks to get an Android device and flash awaY!!
THANKXXX
actually I think I found a thread just above this one that answered my question, but if anyone want to confirm the correct idea, thatn that would be cool, but I m gonna go ahead and upgrade to SPL: Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 BUT i would like to be sure thats what i need to do, i would like to keep my NO BRICK record intact

Hi,
Thank for your answers, I'm thinking to change the SPL but I'm not sure which one use, Is the same Danger SPL and the one posted in the sapphire-port-dream website in google (I can't post urls) as latest? If I flashed this SPL will I be able to install all the ROMs that need different SPL? or is better a Engineering version like Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (I'm confused about the differences).
My magic is SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT - 1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.1926I
Also I want to ask, if I flash the new SPL (if the versions above are compatible with my phone), Will I need to re-flash again the Cyanogenmod version (or the ROM that I choose)?
Thanks!

Mmm... 1.33.2005 (Haykuro Danger SPL) is most popular SPL for 32B-devices
Devs recommend it to flash before flashing their ROMs.
Usually, you don't need to re-flash ROM
Hi, I have a T-mobile 32B with perfect SPL and my friend helped me to install new SPL:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

Please help me, I'm trying google it too.
Please help me, please please please
... I thought it was usually bad to have a 3.x radio on a 32B.
Can you still fastboot?
(It's possible he could have clearly flashed the wrong SPL on it)

Yes, I can use fastboot and flashed recovery
I don't know why our dev doesn't post SPL with radio, as I know each SPL come with a radio, if you use fastboot flash correct a pair without reboot between flash them, your device never bricked
i thought it was currently not possible to root the.010 perfected spl
be it 1.76.0010 or 1.33.0010
how did you do it
i have a new g1 that has 0010 and would like to root it
You must have a goldcard and you will be able to upgrade to any nbh file for G1. (I have a devphone nbh, I will find it and share)
excellent, thank you
please advise when you have found it
in the magic forum there is a post making a gold card
can i follow those instructions?
my spl now is 1.33.0008 (not perfect spl) and my radio is 3.22.20.17. i want to flash my spl to engineering one like 1.33.2010
i read cursordroid's thread before. it says that just download the signed ZIP archive which includes SPL 1.33.2010, put in the SD root, and flash it in recovery
but i just saw somebody report this method bricked his phone.
does cursordroid's way actually work or just brick your phone? and if it doesn't work, is there another way?
BTW, my phone is PVT 32A
anybody help?
I used this method and it worked fine. I had 1.33.0010 and changed it to 1.33.2010 from update.zip in recovery

Hi,
My phone is running in radio 3.22.20.17, SPL 1.33.2010 but S-ON which prevent me from using the fastboot flash command as explained by cursordroids in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
I'm thinking of using another procedure by using Amon RA recovery image and flashing signed update.zip for the radio and for the SPL.
The problem with this procedure is that my phone reboots in between the two updates (the radio update and the spl update) so at one point, i've got a phone running Radio version 6.35.xxx and the old SPL 1.33.2010.
I've no idea how the phone will react. Am i going to birck it ? Does anybody already tried this ?
Thanks for your feedbacks.
Seriously? Did you even read his instructions?
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
Straight from his post.
How much more simple does a dev have to make it in order for members like you to do this.

Seriously, did you even read what he wrote?
He has an engineering SPL already but his phobe is still showing S-ON.
Now, what i would do if i were him is the following.
Test if the command fastboot boot recovery.img works.
If it does then i would flash the radio through the recovery, afterwards i would boot the HERO recovery and use it to flash the new spl.
Bare in mind that i did not test this method and nor do i plan to test it.
Hi,
Thanks eygor that have pointed correctly my situation.
So YES i can fastboot (i need to add some flags as my magic disable the sdcard by default) and this what i'm going to use.... flashing via a signed zip file BUT i do not know how the phone will react by having a radio 6.35.10.18 dissociated from the SPL (still in version 1.33.2010....yes the engineering version).
Anybody has had any experience with this. ?
Question:
- My rom is rooted, am i able to use flash_image to update the SPL and the radio ?
- Receovry_Ra does not provide the flash_image command or am i wrong ?

LOL Please show where he says that it's an engineeringSPL.
Anyways, if you got fastboot working why not work from there? If you're asking what I think youre asking cause I'm not sure... you just flash radio in fastboot and then flash SPL (doesnt matter if you still have the old spl , just flash the new one after radio) then flash recovery
1.33.2010
Sounds like an engineering SPL.
If you have a 32A device, use the 3.04.401.2 Europe RUU with a goldcard. Then use the SU within that ROM to install hero recovery. Finally use hero recovery to flash the rest of the stuff you need.

Hi xaueious,
I've read the article explaining the use of 3.04.401.2 Europe RUU with a goldcard.
They clearly mention to copy rom1.zip into the Goldcard and rename it SAPPIMG.zip
(see post from JcMatos http://forum.xda-developers.com/printthread.php?t=625108&pp=10&page=7)
My problem is that rom1.zip does not contain any upgrade of the radio or the SPL (it's contained in the rom.zip). So if i follow correctly the instruction, i get my magic updated with a new rom but still with my old SPL and Radio remains identical. I do have a high risk of having my magic bricked.
Am i missing something ?

DO NOT USE ehb224 post. It is for Magics 32A
32B users must use CyanogenWiki manual
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Note: in cyanogenwiki used cyanogen recovery, but all can use AMon_RA recovery or Clockworks recovery
Another thing: After getting recovery all can flash other 32B ROMs, not only CyanogenMod

According to the info in the thread (and Amon_RA) it is for either 32A or 32B boards.
If you read through the thread it does say that a 32B board does need to have a 32B radio flashed after.
