CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
Now my problem. I want to downgrade to a non perfected SPL, flash Amon Ra Recovery and if i can to flash a custom ROM. It seems like i am missing some things and i am afraid that i will brick my phone. There are so many posts with solutions that i can't decide what to follow. Thank you!
hmmm...there is this thing called a search button... learn to use it.

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.

My HTC Magic:
Carrier: Cosmo Bulgaria Mobile / Globul
Country: Bulgaria
Configuration:

HDBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)

RADIO-3.22.20.17

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?

I want to install a new ROM like CursorSense (or whats the name of it).
I can see that my version of SPL is difficult and is one that not that many are talking about.
Can anybode tell me what to do? Step by Step. And pleae from someone who tried it on a phone with the same SPL as mine.

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,
Recently picked up a White 32A Magic and am having difficulties with it. Info is:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30
Laptop is loaded with working drivers as have previously flashed two others 32A's with CyanogenMod.
The phone gives the FAILED (remote: not allow) response when trying to fastboot into RA_Amon's latest Hero recovery image.
Am I stuck here?
It looks like I can't goldcard it because I need to flash to a higher ROM and there is not one available.
Yet Amon_RA states specifically in his Hero recovery thread that "it will also work on the 32A Sapphire if you flashed the 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL".
If it's of any use, I believe the phone originated in Thailand (has the CN Thai Keyboard).
Help?
Would appreciate any input.
Thanks
Scott
Quick question... did you bother to read any of the stickies on top of this section of the board?
Sure did, wanna direct me to which one answers my question?
Also searched, and found conflicting information, hence started a thread.

I would, except I'm not familiar with which SPL to use with the new radio, since that kind of opens up a few more possible ways to get bricked.
Exactly why I started a new thread. There is no thread I can find, nor external site, which already covers my exact situation.
U'r not searching or reading at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
I've reread your post several times and still don't understand why you can't use a goldcard. That's a perfected SPL but I'm 99.9% sure it's rootable. You can't use fastboot because you need an ENG SPL. A goldcard downgrades or just basically changes your SPL/Radio, why would you want to go to a "higher" aka upgrade your rom? That might just bring you to an unrootable SPL. You should be able to downgrade it using a goldcard. Maybe this will help? I have a hero with basically the same info that you've provided and simply used flashrec to root it. I did have to use a goldcard though. I don't see why you can't use a goldcard. Do you know what a goldcard does? I doubt it.
I love how you say it looks like it doesn't work with a goldcard. Did you TRY it?

It's everywhere, you didn't try did you? I type in google "Fix perfected SPL" and "htc magic perfected spl" and the guide kencix gave you is right there. Make yourself useful and don't make useless threads. This also has nothing to do with Android Development.
@scawtt: My magic had the same specs of yours. I follow this step-by-step and my phone is rooted now.

No offense to others, but all he wanted was what ramersonw said.
Hey guys, apologies if this is a commonly asked question, but I've spent all day attempting to root my HTC Magic. I've tried methods such as fastboot (get a error message, tried Flashrec with an Amon Ra recovery, that didn't want to work either, and now I really dont know where to go. My phone details are as followed:
32A
HBOOT-1.76.0008 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.19
Can anyone give me a set of instructions that will explain (the more detailed the better) how to Root my HTC Magic, and then install a custom ROM onto it? (looking to get 2.1 onto it) I've got the ADB up and running, so theres a start?
I would love you forever and ever, and perhaps give you a cookie?
thankyou in advance,
james
Erm... If you go into H-Boot (Volume Down + Power) You see 32A (bla bla bla) S-(ON/OFF) and then is it a 'H' or 'G'?

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
Regards
Itai

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 :/
