MT3G Unable to switch to 32B roms

Hello everyone,
I was able to root my MT3G with no issues at all.
I was then following these steps to switch to 32b roms:
Revert to 32B Radio and ROM :
- Download your favorite 32B ROM and copy it to your sdcard
- Download the Ion radio image from the HTC site.
- Extract radio.img from ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip using your favorite rar/zip program.
- Download my 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery.
- Fastboot your mobile and connect it via USB :
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img
- press MENU to power off! (do not reboot)
- hold HOME and POWER to boot into recovery mode
- apply update
However, when I downloaded the files and followed the steps but I get unsigned verification errors when I try to flash the radio and the "G" recovery image.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I have no problem flashing 32a roms but would like to be able to flash the latest cyanogen and other 32b roms.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Did you make sure to put the radio.img in the android tools folder? Another thing is after flashing the recovery.img use:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img
What is the exact error that your are experiencing?

I get errors about the signature verification failing on both the radio and recovery images. I will post the exact syntax and steps I took when I get a chance.

One of my friends had this problem too, you need to verify your current spl version.
and make sure that you have the correct one, which should be version 1.33.2005.
If it's not then download and flash that spl version again, then it should be good.

Version 1.33.2005 isn't a radio version. It's an SPL version.

32A roms flash fine just cant get 32B ones to flash after flashing the radio

just start over from the beginning, stuff has messed up for me when flashing many different roms on my mytouch since i rooted it. ive started the process over many times just to get a clean slate

Ok so here is what happens when I try to switch to 32b roms.
I type:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
I get:
FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>
That goes for the other recovery image as well and even with trying to flash the original splash image.
Any idea how to fix this?

SPL?
I had the same exact issue at first... for some reason I didnt flash my SPL correctly and it still had the original version in tact.
Try booting the phone up with power button + back key and see if you have the right SPL version as the rooting document.
Let me know what you have, and how it goes.

Ok, I just booted with the back and power and I have "HBOOT-1.33.0009".
I have no issue switching to other 32a roms and can get su in a terminal. However, is this the wrong SPL version? If so what steps do I need to take to reflash it?

How to install Radio 6.35.07.29?

How do I flash radio and recovery throught fast boot?
- I put radio.img into the SD card.
-Off off my device.
-VOL DOWN+POWER into fastboot mode
-Then what do I do?
I have rooted my HTC Magic few month ago, however, I never dealt with updating radio before. So what should I do next?
Thanks

Move radio.img from your sdcard and into a folder where adb can access it.
Move to your tools folder.
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

When the mobile is powered down you go to the general section and ask since this is the development section. But before you post yet another question you use the search since you'll find the answer to this several places already!

radio 6.35.07.29 is only for new spl from official sens ui rom.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
You don't really sound like you know what you're doing here...
You could turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you're not careful.

Do not flash the 6.35.07.29 radio until you know absolutely what you are doing.

You need to flash the Sapphire H recovery.img through fastboot.
The Hero recovery you've flashed is causing issues. It only works when the 6.35.07.29 radio is running.

How to flash the official Rogers Rom Upgrade without losing custom recovery

Is this possible? Is there some type of dump that someone can package into a zip so that my recovery + spl stay the same?

it would help if we knew what spl and rec u have

Radio = 3.22.20.17
Recovery = RA-sapphire-v1.5.1H (Amon Ra I think..)
SPL = Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (I think - I remember flashing this, how do I check?)
Currently running aghmsk 2.1 eclair (everything works except fb sync and now data b/c of rogers)

In order to upgrade to the official Rogers ROM update, you need to upgrade your radio and SPL too and use Hero recovery from Amon_RA.
You can check your radio and SPL by booting to fastboot (shutdown your phone then press power+back button)
Follow this instructions for more details. You only need to follow the upgrade part.

It works fine, it is what I just did.
Run the RUU without the phone attached and once the setup screen has loaded go to your windows temporary files folder, find Rom1.zip and extract boot.img, system.img and userdata.img to your Android SDK tools folder.
Plug the phone back and follow the instructions from the link asero just gave you to flash the new Radio and SPL. Be very careful on this step.
After rebooting into fastboot, verify that you now have the right Radio and SPL then run these commands to flash the Rogers ROM
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
If needed, you can then flash the file from this post to root the system (it's for the european 3.05 but it worked fine for me). Thanks much to vmaxada.
Hope this helps

Just use this method. You'll need a hero recovery after updating. That's easy to flash though.

This method worked great for me, thanks!
Just one issue... my phone now says I'm roaming on Fido, when I am a Fido customer. I called Rogers and they say it's a known issue, and made a note in my account that I'm seeing this issue. That hopefully means I can avoid roaming charges on my next bill.
I asked a tech support person whether, after my internet access is re-enabled, if I can return to using a custom ROM, and he didn't know. 1.6 Donut has the GPS / 911 fix already included.

Thanks for confirming it worked for you.
Can you please post simplified steps? I'm kinda confused/not too much of a technical guy.

Upgrade to Radio 6.35.10.18 ONLY

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 ?

I finally semi-bricked my phone! Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Well I don't know what I was thinking, but I flashed a My Touch radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535) on my 32a Magic. Now I can't get past the Rogers logo. I've read that if I boot my phone while pressing home+power after entering 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', that I will be able to get back into the recovery image and fastboot screen. Now the question I have is what recovery image should I use? The My Touch one, or the 32a Magic one?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

use the recovery that corresponds with the radio you flashed (mytouch in this case) - should work fine.

The 32A recovery works on the MyTouch LE (Fender Edition) phones.
What is the exact radio/SPL version on your phone?
I've 'semi-bricked' my phone like this before too. It's scary, but fixable.

You have no idea how many times I hear myself think the very same thing... But I wouldn't have learned that the Hero SPL 1.76.2007 works on the 32A Magic unless I was a little reckless.

Why dont you boot into fastboot (back and power) and do the following:
Download the 3.22.20.17, 1.33.2010 SPL and 32a recovery
Radio: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
SPL: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/hboot-1.33.2010.img
Recovery: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2010.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will wipe the entire system partition but won't touch your /data. You will reboot into fastboot after the last command. Make sure you have the 3.xx radio and SPL. Reboot into recovery.
Hope this works.

This may be a bit off topic, but you can test recovery without installing.

Thought this was cool when I came across it a few days ago. (wanted to see what these carebears were about....

if u can reach fastboot y not flash ->
32A new radio or old radio + new radio or old spl

Well, I like to test things out, and if I'm trying to troubleshoot what recovery works with a new radio, this would be how. The OP was asking which recovery works with his radio, just giving him tools to figure it out.

hero recovery works with new radio 32A magic
but 1.5.3.1 not 1.6.something

Since you haven't yet said.. Can you access fastboot?
If not, can fastboot or adb find your phone when your stuck on the Rogers splash?

i think, from past reading on here... your on the right track...
u need to have the phone powered off... plug in the usb cable to the phone and computer.
then try these commands
Code:
fastboot kill server
fastboot boot <your.32b.recoveryimage.img>
you should then hopefully see
<waiting for device>
then try powering up your phone... and if it boots...
flash your radio.. spl ... rom etc...
hope this works for you
