Will This Work or Brick My Phone?

Okay my phones info is as follows:
UK Vodafone running Donut 1.6
Code:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Jul 31 2009, 15:49:25
Now is this or is this not a perfected SPL "1.33.0007" as I cant do jack with it nor can I get any computer to recognize it when it's in fastboot connected to a PC...*sigh* (although it will when it's turned on)
Now assuming the above is correct and it is a perfected spl will the below work:
Step 1
Flash the phone with the 32A ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) this being a higher rom version than my own from Amon_RA's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218)
Step 2
Change the radio (any recommendations?) back to that of a 32B HTC Magic device and install CyanogenMod using the info again from a different Amon_RA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1)
Step 3
Sit back and bathe in the glory of my finally rooted HTC Magic?
Thanks in advance for any and all help even if it's just a quick reply to tell me I'm off my trolley and it's a sure fire way to brick my phone

Has anyone managed to get anywhere with this hardware. I have exactly the same version of hardware and have not been able to get it to connect to the pc in fastboot.
I would imagine that a lot of people are in the same position, with the same hardware so could someone point us in the right direction please.

Yes, 1.33.0007 is a perfected SPL, but nevertheless you should get fastboot to recognize your phone. Did you properly install the Android SDK USB drivers?

I had the same perfected SPL on my 32B but (luckily) with Android 1.5 CRC24.
I think it should work if you flash a "official" vodafone 1.5 CRC24 1.33.0007 image, then install flashrec on Android, change the recovery Image, boot into recovery mode and flash an engineering spl. Thats basically what I did, except for the downgrade to 1.5.
AFAIK on 1.33.0007 you should be able to downgrade without a goldcard.

Same Version
Hello everybody,
i have the same phone with the same SPL, too.
My Problem is when i try to flash the sappimg.zip with the POWER on and Volume down methode, everything wents fine.
But after reading the Update File i end up with an error like:
"Main Version is older".
Don't know what to do...
Phone HTC Sapphire (Magic) 32B Ship S-ON G
SPL(hboot): 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
I already tryed a Goldcard, but no luck at all
Any Ideas.
I readed 2 Threads, they got a problem with theire devices,
it also was an 32B Magic and they wanted to do an update, too.
And they ended up with the same error message, so they tryed
to flash a 32A Image, and then the 32B, and it worked.
But i am worried, don't want to brick my device.
Anybody out there, with an idea?
Greeting
ZabbensX

i got the exact same problem. waiting for answers...

If you are running Donut Rom DRC92 then at the moment you are stuck. We need to wait until a higher firmware with a non-perfected SPL is released. If you are running a Cupcake Rom (starts with a C) then you can upgrade fine. I'm in the same situation after bricking my first phone using a RUU (they are for 32As only). Luckily Vodafone replaced it under warranty but I have ended up with the perfected SPL.
After having root and now unable to get root I can't say I miss it much. It makes you think what do you need root for? One of the reasons was the ability to flash custom roms but no disrespect to all the Hero Rom developers but NONE of them run well on a 32B Magic. Cyanogens software is good but what does it do that stock firmware doesn't? Any way hopefully Eclair won't be long, a new Rom will be released and we can all change to an engineering SPL and all will be jolly again.

what's ur OS ? Can HTC sync read ur device ?

No HTC Sync doesn't recognize my phone

Thats the reason I want to use the 32A rom as it's newer then my current rom and so it *should* hopefully flash the phone including the spl and then I can change the radio back to that of a 32B device
also what do you mean about being able to change to an engineering spl in Eclair?
Also I've never been able to get HTC Sync to work ever =[ in both xp or vista, and never been able to get the drivers working properly however I am yet to try with Ubuntu

You should be able to get both fastboot and adb to recognise your phone although you won't be able to do anything. That sounds like a driver issue. If you go to the HTC website and download the latest drivers (pick the ones for the HTC branded magic) you should be ok. Try the link below.
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
As for flashing a 32a rom then changing the radio, good luck with that after already bricking one phone I haven't got the balls to try. If you do try and it works please post here exactly what you done as many people will thank you.
Lastly what I'm waiting for is a higher rom version which will probably be eclair (Android 2.0) which comes with a non-perfected SPL. Then the devs on here can get the relentless rooter to work on our phones.

u cant access it unless u enable USB debugging. If u cant pass activation, then ur screwed until u activate it with 3G

hacker1 suggested this:
Okay I post this as a private message because I don't know if I can post the links to the images on an official board.
There are basically 2 methods for flashing/rooting the 1.33.0007.
Method 1:
1.Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH
2. rename to sappimg.nbh and copy to sdcard
3. start magic with volume down+power
4. confirm with trackball
5. If everything works ok, follow 8. on method 2
If this fails with "Main version older" then copy sappimg.nbh to a goldcard and try again. (Some brands of SD-Cards are known to be incompatible with a goldcard, so you might need to try some different ones)
If it fails to flash with a goldcard you need method 2:
1. Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH (if you don't have it already)
2. Download 32A Image
3. rename 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and copy to goldcard
4. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
5. turn off phone
6. delete sappimg.zip from goldcard and copy the "Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH" as sappimg.nbh to sdcard
7. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
8. after restarting you should now be at Android 1.5 CRC24, install flashrec.apk to phone, change recovery image, boot into recovery and flash engineering spl.
Hope this will help you.

*IF* you load the 32A radio and SPL and ROM on your 32B, you may only succeed in bricking your phone.
They are different devices. You can try it if you like, but be ready to throw the phone away.

I do not know if this helps you guys.http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
All phones are diffrent I have perfect spl too and I manage to flash in fastboot.

I've found something which I think might help on a German android forum and it looks like the guy succeeded in doing something similar to what I posted originally in this thread from what I can gather from google translate
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-htc-magic/11285-flashen-mit-1-33-0007-spl.html
can anyone help me out and post a translation for me? (I mean someone who can give a translation not from a website unless it's blindingly better then google)
Current translation via google...

it should be called "flashed with SPL 1.33.0007"

Hello, nice forum you have here
I have the following problem:
Recently I wanted to flash my Vodafone Magic (Android 1.6 SPL 1.33.0007) with Cyanogenic Mod.
Since I have a "perfect" SPL, I've tried it with a gold card. Everything went well so far. Only apparently I had made a version for the 32A, then stood for in fastboot Ship S-OFF H and I could only make recovery for the HTC version of RA, rather than the Google version. I had taken here -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (SPL engineering had v1.33.2010) the rom but works as well and booted normally.
anyway I wanted to be the recovery of RA have wrote -> HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip CM 4.2.5 and later.
The flash itself went well, but I stayed in the HTC bootscreen Magic hang himself and it did nothing more.
In another forum I was told that what I have by gold card (power + vol down) flashed (the sappimg.zip) was just for the 32A, and it therefore did not go.
Jetz, I wanted to ask what am I then can take the 32B, then to flash it to the cyanogenic mod? Because irgednwie I'm a little confused at the 10,000 versions at XDA dev .....
I hope someone can help me there. I'm just glad that the phone because I did not have gebricked garkeine backup (duchzufall had found it here in the forum, the firmware vodafone stock and re-flashed)
thank you in advance
-edit -
ah, I'm stupid.
The stock firmware I had was re-flashed V1.5 .. have then by Flashrecovery the CMrecovery flashed and book now funzt everything.
no offense

So from what I can gather this guy succeded in rooting and flashing his HTC Magic 1.33.007???????????

Is there no hope for 1.6 users on a UK voda magic?

Hi folks.
I am desperate to get Cyanogens mod on my phone but I can't downgrade to 1.5 because i'm on 1.6 with a UK vodafone Magic (32B).
Any chance a serious andoid expert could step in and tell me:
Will there be a new image made to fix this issue?
is there a method I will understand? It says on the Cyanogen Wiki that there has been "some success" with my version but I can't find where it says how to downgrade for my version
I keep hearing about gold card or summink but i'm a noob and I don't have the foggiest idea where to start.
Please help!! and try to make your responses understandable

Dont worry...
Hi there
I think is possible what you're trying to do, but in order to change your rom you don't need downgrading nowadays (HTC are not PSPs, hehe).
I have a magic from Vodafone ES, and what you have to do first is check your model, can be 32A (HTC) or 32B (Vodafone, less ram in cell phone), so you'll probably have 32B like me.
After this, you need Android SDK and drivers to connect your device usb, load a modified SPL via ADB/fastboot (there's a thread in the forum with the HBOOT collection, you need one of those in your cell in order to change the rom).
Summarizing:
1. check if 32B
2. get Android SDK to use the commands fastboot/ADB
3. replace SPL
4. continue with the cyano's wiki
I followed this: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=74683 (sorry is in spanish and a bit outdated, but the apps you need like the SDK are in there, and you have some screenshots, you can skip the root part since cyano's mod is rooted already).
About the goldcard method, I dont know because mine hadn't had perfect SPL, I only had trouble with the usb driver, and downloaded HTC sync (look for it on google if you need) and adb/fastboot detected my device.
A good idea is to install a recovery image once you change your SPL, I personally recommend Amon_RA's recovery 1.5.2.
Last but not least, these explanations are the basics, I know it sounds like chinese to you but read more posts in the forum, there's a cyanogen flashing guide as well, with all the information and these steps you'll do fine.
Hope you'll succeed, let me know your issues

I do understand reasonably well but you cannot use the guide on here with a UK magic as the SAPPH.img file or whatever has an incorrect ID. it's at this point the process cannot be completed.
Thanks so much for your lengthy reply but in this case I believe my phone is unique and the problem cannot be be as easily resolved as you suggest. I must downgrade to 1.5.
Are any of the extreme android geeks able to shed light on this?

I can shed light on you as I have a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B. I used the instructions at the link below and got my phone back to Cupcake, but oddly enough I used the MyTouch instructions and searched online for a suitable sappimg.nbh file as the one they provided didn't work for me. Now I am running Qteknology MagicSense Hero ROM with working LEDs. Forget about ADB, SDK and the Goldcard method... I am sure you want the simplest way to unroot so you can get back to 1.5 and the reroot to whatever you like. Here it is: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/

This is great news but I have tried that method with the sappimg.nbh and it says incorrect ID every time.
Are you using a UK vodafone magic then? If so, where did you find a SAPPIMG that worked?
Please try and remember!

It doesn't matter that your phone is a UK Vodafone Magic.. if you google sappimg.nbh and download a few until you get the one you need you will have your phone reverted back to it original state... ready to root. If you stop your search after one attempt you will not have done all you needed to do. You don't have to know any codes or get another SD card.. just put some effort into it from your computer. Google is your friend.

but being a bit of a noob to all this, surely trying sappimg files at random might risk bricking my phone? I heard there was a good sappimg for all but my version of the phone which is why I mentioned it.
Maybe someone on here has a sappimg known to work with my phone?
But yes, i'm off to do some intense googling.
Thanks

Hi
I have a UK Voda Magic and I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579328 and worked perfectly for me

It truly is lovely of you all to try and help and I appreciate it but I suspect you have not read my comments properly.
Those of you that have commented here were only able to get it to work because you were flashing from/rooting from a 1.5 cupcake build. Once the OTA 1.6 donut update is on a UK magic it cannot be downgraded and so all comments thus far are superfluous. contrary to other comments it is necessary to flash SAPPIMG.nbh first and this does not work on my phone - incorrect CID.
Is there anyone on here that can help with MY issue?
Thanks.

Strange, because I have no issues flashing UK Voda 1.6 phones, just fastboot and use ADB to load recovery image, then flash whatever 32B ROM I like (Dwangs 1.17.1 is great). I did a work collegues before Christmas and his phone had never been modified, only received the OTA update from 1.5 to 1.6 around October time.

I'm on it. That's the way I used to flash roms back when i first got my magic. Now i've been thrown by all the simple guides to put cyanogen and I thought the sappimg method was the only way. I'll just download the sdk and get on my merry way

I don't understand what the issue is? I have a UK vodafone 32B and have been flitting between CM's mods, Hero mods backwards and forwards with no issues whatsoever?
I'm on CM's latest right now (well, a few back now 4.2.11 latest), just followed the instructions and it worked....?

I certainly did read your OP correctly and I also was on 1.6 when I followed the link I posted. In that link it has instructions on how to do it if you are on 1.5 OR 1.6

Started out with 1.5 Vodafone UK Magic which i've flashed many times using the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img method.
At one time i went back to stock 1.5 but let it update itself (OTA) to 1.6. Since then i've continued to flash new ROMs without problem.

hi alfieg
ive vodafone magic 32B with donut and perfect SPL, in present day, I tried all the guides and methods in many forums, without success, for example, if you follow the guide in wiki cyano, already the first step there are problems, how I try to update with sappimg. (cupcake 1.5) as the ends' update writes "main version is older," "update failed "... if you do not then a way to get cupcake is impossible to have root on magic 32b with donut and Perfect spl ....
Indeed in the wiki says, if you have donut Downgrading to 1.5 FAILED: HTC Magic Vodafone ES (Spain) (32B) Official 1.6 updated OTA "
wait a few geek we solve the problem ...

I don't see what the problem is. You should have been reverted back to 1.5 and flashing new ROMs. The instructions are simple.. someone else has done all the hard work.. all you have to do is download a file and hold your phone.

download a file, to make what? If you can not root for real?

Will you lot please listen to me!
There are two methods reccommended:
1) Flash the SAPPIMG.nbh to downgrade back to 1.5 - this does not work on a UK magic on vodafone 32B at all! It reports Invalid CID, update failed!
2) use the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img via the SDK - This does not work on my phone! - I have the device listed when I use "adb devices" so the drivers are ok but it hangs at <Waiting for device> when i try to fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img!!!!!! No ammount of killing the server and remounting as per the cyano instructions works!!!!! in fact, it wont let me remount (Operation not permitted)!!!
If you don't understand please don't post. People who have not updated to 1.6 OTA and people who don't have a UK voda 32B - stop posting here.
Grrrr

I have a New Zealand Vodafone Magic 32B and they share the same Hboot 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) SPL with the UK (and NL and AU) vodafone phones. That means they are VERY easy to load alternate ROMs onto. The horrible stuff many Americans and others have to go through to root their phones isn't required for us.
You do need to get the Android SDK installed and talking properly to your phone.
Assuming you have the SDK set up and you can see your USB-connected phone listed when you enter the "adb devices" command, then the rest should be easy. See the Cyanogen Mod wiki for the details. You want the section on "non-Tmobile 32B magics" on this page:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
It starts with:
"Non-TMobile 32B Magics
If the above doesn't work for you, don't despair. Some non-US Magics are shipped with a fastboot compatible SPL installed. If you see 3 skateboarding androids when you boot to fastboot, you should be able to do the following:"
..............
This is the part you want to pay attention to, assuming you have the SDK installed properly. Our phones are actually MUCH easier to load others ROM on because we have those fastboot-enabled SPLs already in place and this is the first, BEST way for us to do it.
Whatever you do, do NOT flash the "Danger SPL". There is no need to for an HTC Magic with the Hboot 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) SPL.
If you're hopelessly lost at this point, seek hands-on local help. You don't know enough to do this by yourself without risking screwing up. if no one can help you, then take your time. Learn the stuff you need to know....Being in a hurry is a great way to go wrong. I spent 3 months reading and thinking about it before I loaded my first ROM. Much of the advice is for the Dream / G1 or locked MyTouch3G or Magic 32B phone from telcos who lock them....and simply isn't relevant for the HTC Magic 32B from Vodafone. the single section I'm pointing you to above is all we need to get it done.
Finally, here is my own "simple guide" for getting loading alternate ROMs on a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B. This is about OUR phone...and should work if you work your way through it.
http://truthseekernz.blogspot.com/2009/11/simple-guide-to-loading-new-roms-on.html
You don't need to worry about "gold cards" and all that stuff. You'll be flashing an already rooted ROM and you will have backed up your un-rooted original load with "nandroid" before you change ANYTHING. That backup is your path back to the way your phone was before you rooted it by flashing an already rooted system ROM. in loading ROMs like Cyanogen's you're not baking a cake, you're buying one....so you don't need to know how to make one, you just need to know where to get one and how to serve it....if that analogy makes sense.
Simply, you start by: fastboot boot RA-recovery-1.5.2G.img:
Then, from the recovery menu of functions you do these steps:
1. Backup (nandroid)
2. Wipe system / data
3. Wipe cache
4. flash from any zip on sdcard (the one you want to flash today, you may have put several different ROM images in /sdcard)
5. reboot to brave new world.
6. Make a backup copy on your PC of the /sdcard/nandroid folder on your sdcard so you won't lose it accidentally if your sdcard is corrupted, lost or stolen.
Done.
To save time and let you backup / flash ROMs anywhere you happen to be standing, you can flash Amon-RA's recovery onto your phone or you can load it via fastboot every time and leave the default recovery in place. The very first nandroid backup you made will have backed up the factory recovery image as well as the factory system image as they were at the time you backed them up. So they can be restored if you want to at some point update them with an OTA update. I suspect Vodafone / HTC will be rolling out an Android 2.0 / 2.1 update to Magic phones at some point. If they don't that would be a black mark against them....something to remember when thinking about buying any future phone from anyone: "WILL THEY SUPPORT IT FOR THE SAME 2 YEARS YOU'VE SIGNED UP FOR".
If the answer isn't YES......then that's worth remembering. Vodafone / HTC's record so far is good. The last OTA update was barely 3 months ago.

Will you lot please listen to me!
There are two methods reccommended:
1) Flash the SAPPIMG.nbh to downgrade back to 1.5 - this does not work on a UK magic on vodafone 32B at all! It reports Invalid CID, update failed!
2) use the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img via the SDK - This does not work on my phone! - I have the device listed when I use "adb devices" so the drivers are ok but it hangs at <Waiting for device> when i try to fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img!!!!!! No ammount of killing the server and remounting as per the cyano instructions works!!!!! in fact, it wont let me remount (Operation not permitted)!!!
If you don't understand please don't post. People who have not updated to 1.6 OTA and people who don't have a UK voda 32B - stop posting here.
Grrrr

Get latest version of fastboot binary. I had problems with original one and htc magic. Drop fastboot.exe into the sdk tools folder.
Reboot your phone holding back and power simultaneously.
Then plug usb cable.
in Dos prompt go to sdk tools folder and type "fastboot devices"
if your device is listed you are good to go.
then "fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img"

[32A] Install official sense UI (3.05.401.3) without getting perfect SPL!

Alright, so HTC released the sense UI update to 32A in Europe some days ago. After searching around I figured how to flash it without getting stuck at perfect SPL. Therefore; I'd like to say that this is very little my own work. I only wrote everything I found here.
I'd like to thank these people/sites for learning me this:
Radix999, for his page in the wiki.
TheUnlockr, for fantastic guides about rooting.
cursordroid, for the correct order to flash radio/hboot.
vmaxada, for how to get rom.zip and rom1.zip.
Read everything before trying if you don't want to risk your phone.
You will need engineerings SPL before doing this. Means it won't revert the perfect one.
Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible for anything may happen to your phone during this update.
Only apply this on a sapphire 32A.
There's always a risk when flashing images to your phone, but if you follow the instructions, you should be fine.
This update will give you:
HBOOT-1.76.2007
RADIO-6.35.08.29
ROM version 3.05.401.3
Alright, so what you'll first need is the files. There's two ways to get these. First one, would be to download them (defiantly easiest). The second would be to fetch them from HTC's update file, I'll write this only for learning purposes, so if you're not interested in learning, do it the first way.
opinion 1
Download the files
I've collected everything for you in one file.
RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver(eng spl).rar (mirror) password: for xda
Extract the files to somewhere you'll find them. Like C:\AndroidSDK\tools.
opinion 2
Fetching the files yourself
Doing it this way will take a lot longer than the first, but you'll learn more.
Here you'll need two files:
The official update file, RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_305401 (mirror) and the SPL version, hboot-1.76.2007.
Copy the hboot-1.76.2007 to somewhere you'll find it, like C:\AndroidSDK\tools.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and connect it to your computer using USB. Run the file you downloaded, RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_305401, and continue until it's done displaying "Confirming info about the Android phone" (I'm not sure if it's exactly the same displayed, but it should have the same meaning). When it's done with that, STOP, don't cancel, but don't do anything further.
Keep the update window open, and go to Start - Run, then type in %temp%. Search for "rom*.zip". You should get rom.zip and rom1.zip as results. Copy both the files to your desktop. Cancel the update.
Note: People have reported the files won't open with the built-in zip extractor in Windows, you'll might need WinRAR.
Open the two zip files. Extract the following files to the same place where you putted the hboot-1.76.2007:
Code:
boot.img
radio.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
After doing this you're done with getting the files.
Flashing
Now you're done with most of the work, everything left is flashing.
Boot your phone to fastboot (back+power), and connect it to your computer. Open up terminal (cmd) and "cd it" to the directory where you have the system files.
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
Then type in this, to check your phone is connected.
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get a serial number, your phone is connected and you can proceed.
Now, type in the following and hit enter after every line:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system –w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now your phone should reboot into fastboot. Make sure you have HBOOT-1.76.2007 and RADIO-6.35.08.29. If you have that, you can type in the rest:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
Now your phone will reboot, and you'll have the official sence UI, but still engineerings SPL!
As you may have noticed, my English isn't perfect. If you see something wrong with my grammar please tell me what's wrong.
If you want a custom recovery, you'll have to install a Hero recovery. I recommend RA-hero-v1.5.2.

First of all this is old news already explained by Cursordroid who, i can see, you didnt not bother to thank! Trying to take credit for something that someone else did is not a good idea.
Secondly, your info is wrong. You will not end up with that version of the radio but with 6.35.08.29, nor is there rom2.zip but rom1.zip (at least for me it was that way). By flashing the new radio, people will be confined to using official 3.03/3.05 ROM, CursorSense, Cursor's t-mobile fender rom and some other roms (1-2 more exist currently) that i did not test. Otherwise a downgrade to the old radio is required! (e.g for running CM you need to downgrade the radio).

Did actually need another post on this topic??

The mirror I'm using is screwed at the moment, uploading takes longer then I expected.

Where did I try to take credits from him? I fixed the wrong info (sorry about that). Also, where did he explain this? I know he explained how to get this radio, SPL and Hero recovery. But nothing about the official sence ROM?

Where's the other topic about this?

He did some time ago make a toping regarding flashing 3.03 without getting stuck with the perfected spl. After making CursorSense however he eventually deleted his 3.03 thread.
You did not directly state that you were to be credited for this work but you did not thank him for doing it either. And all you did was "steal" (steal because you failed to thank the man) his method.

perfected spl
can we use this method if we already updated to a perfecter spl (1.76.0010)?

WTF
Hey dude!!!
You forgot to mention me under the thanks to, part that you don't even have!!
I hope you feel good about yourself!
and you searched? No! You asked me!
This is last time I'm helping you!!

Still... this is not for us who have already been stuck with perfected SPL...

Can I use these instructions if I have hboot-1.33.0010 (sapp10000)? or do I need to use goldcard to get 1.33.2010 first?
Thank you

Nope you will need eng spl to fastboot...
But he forgot to write anything about that!!
So you need the 2010 before you can even start...

Yeah, I thought so too...
Thanks

What recovery image did you use?
As far as I can tell you need the hero version for this rom/radio. So I'm thinking you used the sapphire version.

Did you flash it in the correct order? If not, try flash back to a hboot that suits with your current radio. Then flash this radio.
In other news, I finally managed to upload the files myself.

RUU USB boot screen

Hi,
I thought id flash my 32b with the latest rom today, so i downloaded it off here (said it was for a 32b) and flashed my phone...
1: its not for a 32b its for a 32a
2: its now stuck in RUU USB mode
3: i can communicate to it with fastboot but can not load a recovery file as it just hangs where it should have rebooted into the recovery image,
4: its using 1.76.0009 spl which is a perfect one.
5: PLEASE does anyone know how i might be able to UN-Brick my phone ?
6: I cant make a gold card as i can't get the CID for my SD card
PLEASE HELP

EDIT: There is an update on HTCs UK site. Just download and install that and you should be fine.

thanks for the reply,
Unfortunately im from NZL and my serial number doesnt work
and my phone is a 32b and that update is for a 32a

Used Haret to get CID
I also bricked my Magic yesterday, using an official RUU.exe. And I had the same problem in obtaining the CID, but luckily I could get around it as follows:
I still have an old HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris 100) and installed an Android version which booted from Haret. Once it was running I could obtain a terminal window and do a cat for the CID file. I tried to access it via ADB, but that did not succeed.
There are several distributions described in the Polaris forums, your mileage might vary with other models.
So if you know somebody with an HTC phone (WM) try to find an Android distribution for it, put it on your SD card and run haret. It is non-destructive and allows you to read the CID. After obtaining the CID, I reformatted the SD card and folowed the instructions here: Create gold card.
After inserting the Gold card, I could continue the RUU update and now I have a Magic with HTC Sense.

thanks for that, im glad to see im not alone, im trying to find a program for linux / mac / windows which will give me my CID for my SD card but can't find one anywhere
When you put the goldcard in and turned your phone on it boot from it automatically ?

my platform is 32A end I dont creat cold card just a original RUU from HTC sait
my phone is TIM brandet and i download TIM RUU and my phone downupgade then

Just an update to how the recovery is going
Well i created a goldcard which has fixed my issue with the Custom ID check and i have managed to Down grade my hboot to 1.76.0008 and my radio phone is still having a personalliy issue and thinks its a 32a and its NOT !! when it gets to unzipping the system it just hangs there, in fact it sits there all day until the battery dies and indicator doesnt shift on phone from 0 so with the RUU it makes it to 81% if i can get a sappimg for a 32b which desent flash the system but only the radio and hboot would be great (I think) , issue is that when i try and make one, it comes up with Signature Verfiy Fail
HELP

Not even 32A users can downgrade 1.76.0008 right now except for the SU edition, which you cannot boot. You have a brick.

The same problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlH_yhgRiwo

I have found a way around that im now working again, its all about the order that things get flashed to your phone.
I found an RUU that flashed everything 1st apart from the rom which is flashed last. As long as you have a gold card you can do this.
When it gets to flashing the system over its crashes... thats ok, take the battery out of your phone and reflash, your 32a s-on H becomes a 32b s-on H and then the system will flash over ok.
So... I have a skitzo phone at the moment with a saudi rom on it, but at least its working... HOW EVER.... these bloody alarms keep waking me up to do my prays hahahaa i thought that was kinda funny...
SO... now i just need to copy a sappimg onto my gold card and flash off that which ill do tonight
Ill give a full detailed HOWTO with links to the files once im back to normal.
Its taken me about 3 full days and about 3gig of downloads to get this sorted. If you dont have a gold card then your SCREWED... well not totally you need to get another phone eg android or a windows mobile 6.5 with eaRET on it works also

Now I am very curious. Where did you get this RUU? I still don't see how you fixed it. I'm looking forward to seeing you detail this.
The new RUUs come in 2 zip files - the first with the radio and hboot and the other with the rest of the files. You can rename them as sappimg.zip to try to flash them from RUU, since they are signed by HTC.
However, as far as I know those RUUs are for 32A only. If you had HBOOT 1.76.0008, 0009 or 0010, you can not flash a lower version ROM even with a gold card. The SPL/HBOOT and radio combination actually seems to work on the 32B. However, you would need to be able to boot to a custom recovery somehow to do anything special. The system.img on the 32A RUUs I thought were too big for 32B. So if you were able to flash you must have had enough space on the 32B and I was wrong. I wonder why people are getting stuck though.
The reason I called a brick is because the only available 32B HBOOT have lower ROM version strings (2.x series ROM) than the 32A RUUs (3.x series ROM version string). I still don't know if 32A RUUs actually work on 32B.
You can flash the 3.05 series SPLs all you want, but they are all perfected. The only other option for the 32A Magic was booting to the leaked 3.04 ROM with SU in the system image, but you would not be able to flash that. So are you saying that it actually works?
Anyways please report back

No they dont work and hence why it bricked the phone, the good part is that it never flashed the rom so I was sweet with getting the phone back. Prior to flashing it was 32b 1.33.0010 eng s-off G, then 32a 1.33.0009 s-on H and now is a 32b 1.33.0010 s-on H... rom is 2.56.??.? which ill have to look up later when im back home either way its gone from a 32b to a 32a stuck in RUU USB (due to not enough room to flash the rom) back to a 32b which works just is all arabic.
With the GOLD card it allowed me to flash a different Custom ID on to my phone, replaced the Radio and SPL and which then changed the phone from 32a to 32b, I even reversed it and did it again to makesure it wasnt a fluke and it wasnt. if it wasnt for the fact that the order of the flashing occured the way i did i wouldnt have been able to fix it as it would tried and flash the SYSTEM b4 it would flash everything else which would make it hang !
As soon as ive rooted the current rom (which is harder than i expected due to the rom version) ill do a write up on how to fix it as there are a few steps inbetween.
.

Wait so you never flashed 1.76.x did you. You just had 1.33.0009 and you typed it wrong in your first post?
If so we don't need a walk through for that. The one at unlocker.net would have served you perfectly.

what walk through was that, ill re 32a it again and ill let you know that it was.

just an update ,
Yes it was spl 1.76.0009
i have since flashed the phone with 2.56.494.7 and now have to wait until someone gets a rooted version of this rom or releases a later gold card version of sappimg.nbh or sappimg.zip to cut a long story short this is what happened.
1: flashed a Sence-IU for a 32b (but it wasnt it was for a 32a)
2: ended up with 1.76.0009 and the radio which goes along with it.
3: now reads 32a s-on H
4: made a goldcard
5: had to flash with 2.56.494.7
6: first flash of this rom replaced the SPL with 1.33.0010 (perfected)
7: screen now reads 32b s-on H
8: rom failed to flash
9: re-run the update of 2.56.494.7 and the phone flashes and reboots
10: cant root the phone until a newer version of sappimg.nbh is released
11: can use the phone but the arab applications dont allow the market
12: now its a waiting game.
Hope this helps others with bricked phone... If i had to do this again i wouldnt have flashed the 2nd time with 2.56.494.7 but instead a different RUU for the 32B this would have ment i would have been able to root the phone... Live and lean !
.

I have used the guides in this post to fix a friend's 32B Magic, which he had flashed with an RUU for 32A Magic. It works just fine.

Need help!!! installed 32A radio on 32B phone

I installed 32A (6.35.10.18) radio on my Tmobile mytouch 32B by mistake.
Before doing this I had my phone rooted and SPL (1.33.2005 i think). Now fast boot shows its a 32A device . Now not able to run recovery mode.
I am not able to revert it back to 32B radio.
Tried to unroot but it says version is older(with gold card).
Some one please help me......

You should be able to flash a radio image from fastboot. All you would need is to connect via USB. The phone will show 'fastboot usb' instead of 'fastboot'. You'll need the android sdk in order to go any further. Place the radio you want in the tools folder of the sdk so that it's easier to get to. Bring up a command prompt and navigate to the tools folder.
For me it looks like this:
cd\
cd androidSDK/tools
From there you'll need to make sure that the android drivers are installed properly. You can do this just by typing this:
fastboot devices
This will bring up a serial number if the drivers are installed correctly. If not you'll need to get the appropriate drivers. I believe I found mine during the gold card root process on the Unlockr's site.
As soon as your computer is talking to your phone it's simple.
In your command prompt simply type the following:
fastboot update <radio.img>
fastboot reboot
This will reboot the phone and it should reflash the radio. I've never had to do this so I don't know if it is going to work. Take these words with a grain of salt though... this could still brick your phone. Who knows? Next time just make sure you have the appropriate files. Especially when dealing with radio and spl. You're lucky your phone even turns on.
Good luck!

yeah i did the same last night, but mine is stuck with RUU USB and since the SPL is perfect i cant do anything as i get a signature verify fail or remote: can not do message
If you find a solution id be very interested.
Cheers.

Hi phantommusik,
Thanks for your response. This what I get when I do update radio.imp
"EOCD not found, not Zip
error: failed to access zipdata in '☺'"
No clue what it means

I am by no means an expert on the 32B Magic, but...
Try creating a Goldcard. There are instructions on this forum.
Then, even if your phone is stuck in RUU mode, you should be able to apply this RUU for the 32B Vodafone Magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640283
I warn you though, you might end up with an unrootable phone. But at least it will work.
EDIT: Pay careful attention to these steps. Make sure a goldcard is in your phone before starting.
- Download and run the RUU executable
- When the wizard is at step 1, open a file search dialog
- Look for a file named rom.nbh (should be in %temp% folder)
- Copy the rom.nbh to another folder and rename it to SAPPIMG.NBH
- Close the wizard
- Copy the sappimg.nbh to the root of your SDCard
- Power down your phone
- Boot your phone while pressing "volume down"
- It will ask you to update (wait a bit till the question pops up)
- Press trackball to start update
- After update press trackball again to reboot

Sorry!

I know exactly what that means!!! It means I didn't give you complete instructions! My bad! When you are flashing anything from recovery or fastboot it has to be a .zip file or .nbh. I'm not entirely sure what needs to happen in order to get it to read it but you could try sticking that radio in a .zip file with NO COMPRESSION. You might want to take a look at some of the other threads in here to see what they have to say about putting just a radio in a zip file! I would suggest downloading a radio update that is already a zip file!
Hope this helps!

One friend of mine did exactly the same thing. I used the instructions on this post and I managed to get him his 32B Magic back.

becareful flashing this rom, it is perfected and you cant root it and if you can i wanna know how !

I tried updating the new RUU when in fastboot, but there was an error saying incorrect id.
Then I coppied rom.zip file and renames it to sappimg.zip, hboot hung when updating RADIO_V2.
Please help me, its ok even if cant root the phone.

Listen. If you really don't know, stop misleading people. You can't root this ROM, but you can install one that is already rooted. This ROM has the kernel fault that allows flashrec to install a custom recovery ROM. From then on you can do whatever you like with your phone, even revert it back to 32B. Amon_Ra's ROM for 32B Magic is a good place to start. Read here the post my friend wrote to thank me about getting his Magic back (It's translated from Greek, hence the bad English).

You' ll need a goldcard to use this. Stop doing things that can mess up your phone even more (like sappimg.zip etc). Just use the instructions in the link I posted before. About rooting please read my reply @gummy just above.

When I ran "RUU Sapphire HTC Arabic Etisalat" the installation got sturck at 77% (updating radio).
I removed the batter and plugged it back, now the phone got struck in RUU mode couldnt go to fastboot....... does it mean its bricked?

Repeat the process with the RUU. It did the same thing, when I used it and after 1 or 2 tries the ROM was flashed properly.
