Hi,
I'm a newbie with android but have spent a lot of time the last few days reading the forums, and I can't seem to find any reasonable solution.
I have a Magic 32B from Vodafone germany.
So I started by following Cyanogens instructions...
. Install_the_Latest_Android_sdk
. Downloaded latest CM recovery
. Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image:
* http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
. Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device:
* http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip
. Put both of these files on your SD card
. Plug the phone into the computer
. Reboot into fastboot, and pressed back button until it appeared in a bar. Although for me it was Red not yellow.
. Ran fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
However I received the error of perfect SPLs. So I used the instructions from Amon_RA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Copied ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) to my GoldedSD card.
This completed successfully....However, when it boots in recovery mode I just see a black screen that says htc magic. And it stays there. Left it for about 10 mins and nothing.
I tried pulling the battery, it booted regularly and into Android 1.5.
So I thought I tried flashbooting CM-recovery1.4. Now the flashboot worked at sending over the cm-recoveryAgain, black screen just saying htcmagic.
Can someone please help me, my goal is to load a recovery rom, than install CyMod's Rom. I was following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
For reference, before starting my "upgrade" the phone was:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G

Running android 1.5
Now reads

Thanks in advance!
P.S. I forgot to mention, I also tried booting recovery mode without the SD card, and same result.
Can't boot recovery
Ok, can someone at least tell me why I can't boot a recovery image? Are there any reasons?
exactly the same is my situation
that gold card thing just messes things up i guess
now u have to flash a 32b radio and how and where u will get it i am also searching fr it if u get a solution leeme know or update the thread
Recovery image issue....Ok, it seems I figured out why the recovery didn't work.
As you may notice from the status, that image flashed the phone from:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19 26I
to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-3.22.20 17
So you need a recovery that is now H not G. (like recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img)
Now recovery is available. So I followed CyM's instructions, just with this recovery image, Erase successful, and write successful.....Fastboot/recovery still working perfect, however telephone freezes on HTC screen during boot.
My thought is I should load an SPL that is G, fastboot RA's G image, then boot into recovery and re-load the CyGens ROM loads (as described).
Can someone with more experience let me know if I'm on the right track.....I was thinking of using RA's update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed as I believe that is a G SPL (not sure), and where can we get a G radio?

That is not correct! You still need to use a 32B recovery image => recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img
G = 32B
H = 32A
AmonRa, since I loaded
ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) from your thread, now my status during fastboot screen reads..H not G.
If i run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img it just hangs at HTC screen.
If I run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img, I get the recovery menu.
This is why I was thinking of somehow flashing an SPL that is for G, then the G recovery menu, than a G Rom.
So how can I get back to: SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G? And do I need to flash the radio, if so where can I find radio images?
Thanks AmonRa for your help and all the work!
@Amon Ra
i have the same issue as
@iammenotyou
my phone was
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPL-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
the above was the detail i wanted to downgrade it in order to root it so had to use the GOLD CARD method to bypass the model ID check as i had a perfected SPL
so now i have the following detail
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP20000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
so the radio changed to 32a and also show H here after that gold card flashing
i try to use one click root method got flash rec 1.1.3
and i says
" PHONE TYPE IS EBI1/32A "
and try to flash some G recoveries like recovery-RA-1.3.2G.img
and reboot in try to get flash recovery console it stuck on the boot image saying HTC MAGIC while if i use a H recovery image i get the recovery console
now SIR what can be the solution of this problem
waiting for some experts opinion on this

Hi,
Well as I said, my unit was an 32B with s-on G. After I ran that package in fast boot it became a 32B ENG S-OFF H. Also the recovery images only the H images would work from this point forward. (which are supposedly not for my device)
So I went and tried to load the radio for the G (from HTC ion site) onto it and rebooted instead of also loading the SPL. So now its bricked. HTC logo screen for fastboot, recovery and regular boot.
So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G. (Although somehow I'm sure it can be restored, better safe than bricked. Now I just hope the service center can fix it)
SaQuibs: Best of luck....One thing you may wish to try since you've been changed to H like me, and can't boot the regular OS, is to fastboot RA's H recovery image, and than wipe and load an H OS like RA-IONv1.6.2H and see what happens. Since it doesn't include a new radio hopefully it will boot Again good luck!
the problem is not with the ROM 2.53.707.2
the problem is with the GOLD CARD coz i loaded a different rom
wat i did was loaded an H recovery and then loaded a 32b rom but it was stuck on boot screen
i have no plans to brick my phone as the country i live in there are no service centres of repairing places and HTC phones are not sold here we have to import and HTC gives no support as well
so planing to sell it
"So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G"
the problem is not with the rom its with the GOLDCARD method as i used a different ROM in the same thread
and what i did was i flashed an H recovery to get the console and flashed a 32b rom in it and phone was stuck at boot screen, so thought i bricked my phone but then again i created a GOLDCARD to get back to normal
so now dont want to experiment anymore
as HTC dont sell there phones in our country and so they do not provide any support for us either no center or repair places if bricked

i have posted a thread also and i have also discussed here
sent PM to qtek and Amon_Ra and few other experts on the forum but didnt get a reply yet
lets c if they can figure out something fool proof and can be fixed its good or i will be selling the phone nxt week
Read this post and execute the part to revert back to the 32B radio and ROM.
The problem is NOT with the goldcard, because that works perfectly.
The problem lays in the fact that you don't know what you are doing, and you flashed a 32A NBH onto a 32B without even knowing what exactly you were flashing

Yeah I was too fast, didn't read everything...
So by using the goldcard method you automatically end up with a "H SPL" and 32A radio? Or is there a way to around this, without manually reflashing another SPL and radio.
I have a Magic 32B with a perfect SPL and the goldcard method is the only way to go, right?
i cant install the fast boot
and is that risky?
and lastly with my current status of the phone which recovery can i use and which roms can i load

When you try to flash a NBH from another country/operator the CID check will fail and the flashing will stop. This is done so people can't just flash a rom from another country.
A goldcard (this is what engineers at HTC use) avoids the CID check (CID = Customer ID). This is the only reason why we use a goldcard, it has nothing to do with fixing a perfected SPL, or getting root, or whatever people tell you.
If you have a perfected SPL you can't use fastboot to flash or boot an image.
To fix this you will have to flash a non perfected SPL.
The only way to get a non perfected SPL is to flash an NBH that contains a non perfected SPL.
The problem is that we only have a few NBH's available that contain a non perfected SPL and a CID from another country/operator.
Unfortunately they are also for 32A devices and not for 32B devices.
This is the only reason why you need to get around the CID check and why you "upgrade" to 32A, and afterwards downgrade back to 32B once you have a non-perfected SPL.
If you have a 32A with a perfected SPL you'll only need a goldcard if your CID is different than the one of the NBH you are flashing, you'll also have no issues with a different radio because the NBH is for a 32A already.
If you find an 32B NBH with a non perfected SPL you'll also not have the different radio problem and you might not even need a goldcard if the CID is the same as the one in your phone.
Please be aware that you don't need to fix a non-perfected SPL to get root.
At the time that I wrote the SPL fix we didn't know about kernel exploits so we used this way to get root. In the mean time other ways are discovered to get root (like flashrec etc..). Those methods will however not fix your SPL so you will still not be able to use fastboot to erase, flash etc.
It's always easier to have an open SPL so you easily use fastboot to flash stuff to your phone.
You can also change the CID in your phone to a super CID (all 11111), when you have a super CID you can flash anything you want and you'll never need a goldcard. Changing the CID is something for another thread
Hope this makes things more clear
@Amon Ra
things are crystal clear the problem with me is i coundnt configure that fastboot thing i followed the instructions on android site but could not install the sdk tool and use fast boot
so just wanted to as that if i use an H recovery to get to the recovery console will it work for me can i flash new ROMs
coz i am already tired dont want to experiment any more
I was having trouble flashing roms so I used a vodafone uk nandroid image and now I have lost root access.
Checking on my fastboot, it has changed from:
PVT 32B ship s-on G
to:
PVT 32B eng s-off H
Presumably because I have flashed crios eng spl.
So my question is, "s-off H" is found on 32A HTC branded devices, and my phone is a 32B Google branded. So what amon ra recovery should I use?
im assuming because its a 32B board i should use the G version not H.
Am I correct?
Have you tried fastbooting the recovery to see which will boot up?
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Edit:
Check out this thread - sounds like a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584574
Thanks brook, but unlike the guy in the other thread, my radio hasnt changed. My radio a .261 and his is a .17.
He has a 32A spl and 32A radio on a 32B board. Mine has 32B radio and board, but a 32A spl.
Again im assuming i can just use flashrec and flash amon ras G branded recovery?
yea, i have the same, 32b with s-off H, and i'm using ra 1.3.2G with no issues, my spl is 1.33.2010

Yap, now I have the last Engineering SPL 1.33.2010.
I've found some info: The G or H at the end identify if it's a Google or HTC SPL
So i have a HTC SPL on my Magic 32b and everything is just fine.
I have KINgxKxKlair ROM. So far so good...
yes i also insert cyanogen with port kernel to 32a and all works ok in 32b G and shoes 32b H....
seems strange after a fews days of incompreensive system... phone now work

Hi there,
I have been reading abit on gaining root access on this phone and here is my progress so far:
I have a Vodafone New Zealand HTC Magic 32B running Android v1.6 with the following SPL in the fastboot screen:

I have managed to create a goldcard and apply this engineering spl (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 - ROM v2.53.707.2) by Amon_RA in hboot.
After rebooting, the splashscreen has changed to HTC and I now have Android v1.5. Everything went well, so I thought until I went back to fastboot to check on the SPL
sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h
hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)
cpld-10
radio-3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009,17:27:03
As you can see it is now s-off h where it should be g?
And the radio is now 3.22.20.17.
I understand I have messed up by applying the wrong SPL. I tried to fastboot "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img", it hangs at the HTC magic splashscreen.
My questions:
What should one do to obtain s-off g and the appropriate radio?
Should one:
apply a different SPL, say 1.33.2004? < I think this is a google phone engineering SPL?
Or:
Change the radio following Amon_RA Revert to 32B Radio and ROM instructions?
The whole point of me gaining root access is to store applications on the sdcard and have a clean fast ROM.
Thank you all for your help.
p.s. Please feel free to move this thread to the appropriate forum if I have posted it wrongly.
use the 1.33.2005 engineering SPL (it says here)
Thanks for your reply excogitation.
I have managed to downgrade the radio back to 2.22.19.26I using Amon_RA method. Here is the latest HBOOT info:

I am running Amon_RA custom ROM at the moment and it is asking me to activate my T-mobile myTouch 3G phone. Now I could not use gmail because I could not activate via a t-mobile sim card.
Under Settings > About phone > Model number = T-Mobile mytouch 3G
Is there any way I could change this Amon_RA to a vodafone base? or is there anyway to activate google account via wifi like it was in Vodafone?
Thanks for your help!
Update #2
After turning off and on the phone. I am able to log onto google via wifi
Amon_RA custom ROM is fast! I am enjoying the clean v1.6 android. Way faster than the stock ROM.
Perhaps later I will try Cyanogen ROM
Thanks Amon_RA for the awesome rom!
One more question:
If I ever need to send the phone back to Vodafone - how do I revert back to the stock ROM and SPL?
flash the stock rom (either from your backup or search the web),
flash the stock splash if you have a custom one by then,
flash the perfect SPL back.
That should be it.
ok i am almost done rooting my mytouch 1.2. i am to the part where i have to flash the radio, spl, and recovery. after a lot of reading around xda, i discovered that i have to BOOT the recovery, flash the spl from recovery, go back to fastboot and flash the radio and recovery, respectively. my PROBLEM now is that i cannot boot into recovery. well, actually it allows me to, but it gets stuck on the HTC MAGIC screen for a long time. what should i do? please help. oh and by the way, this is what my fastboot currently says
