Something to try if you're stuck with 1.76.0007 SPL... There is no harm in trying. If it works, great! If not, then you're no worse off...
Make sure your radio version is 6.35.07.29 by entering FASTBOOT mode. (Back + Power). If it's not 6.35.07.29, don't continue.
Download this update and save to your SD as update.zip
http://content.modaco.net/hero/update-hero-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip
Boot your phone into HTC recovery mode using Home and Power.
Press Home and End to bring up the recovery console.
Choose the option to "Apply sdcard:update.zip"
If this is successful, it will apply the update then bring you back into the recovery mode. Turn off your phone, then boot into FASTBOOT using Back and Power. See if your HBOOT version is now 1.76.2007.
We might be on to something here...
This seems to be what's happening when people try this...
Code:
E:No signature (5 files)

That means that the Engineering SPL can't be flashed over the stock SPL.
Oh well, it was worth a shot.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Dude nice one but what's the success rate? I'm willing to try this **** but i need more input from you, like has anyone successfully flashed it and in case it bricks my phone and it prolly will, can i overwrite it with an official Sense TW/HK/SG RUU and will it bring my Magic back from the dead?
EDIT: Got ya. Looks like it is still work in progress...
Guru, what's about thing to replace HBoot to Eng HBoot in rom.zip while RUU wait to get processed ?
It's so crazy, but ... why not?
I'm gonna compare by Hex-editor original Hero Hboot, Eng hero Hboot and original magic Hboot...
Update at 14:29 (GMT +3)
Good news:
Hboot from RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_3.03.728.4 (Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam)
Hboot from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver
HBoot from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.61_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver
are absolutely same
Checksum MD-5: 6EC7F3AF2C832B38EEECE0FD7FB66CDA
Bad news:
Eng Hboot from Modaco is quite different than stock HBoots
So it is NOT a hex-patch. It is fully engineering Hboot.
As there is one new eng Hboot for Hero, so a new one HBoot for Magic exists... but where?)

Nice anyway , if some one wants to have the new radio and be able to flash the new sense using fastboot maybe it should work to flash hboot with HBoot from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.61_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver and then flash the new radio and go on with flashing the rest...
The NEW ENG.SPL is not useful unless we get it in form of a signed sappimg.zip , here comes the big question Do Modaco has the new hero SPL in a signed by htc sappimg.zip ? if he has it then we are all set

Rom.zip is signed, when you change it the sign validation will fail.

The whole point to running a 1.76 ENG HBOOT is to be able to run Hero ROMs and the new Sapphire 32A Sense ROMs without modifying them to the current 1.33 HBOOT partition table. And I'm quite sure that the 6.35 radio doesn't run well with a 1.33 HBOOT.
The HBOOT defines the partitioning of the NAND and the new Sense ROMs can't be flashed onto the partition table defined by a 1.33 HBOOT.

I don't think we'll be able to directly flash this SPL over top of the 1.76.0007 perfected SPL.
We need to find a way to get a rooted recovery image on this phone. Through the same means that the Android Recovery Flasher or the Relentless Rooter would flash the recovery image.
Unfortunately, at this point there is no way of getting root priveledges on these ROMs.

Tks for ur work first.
Try to flash the eng. 2007spl directly over 0007, official signature is the point, but almost unbreakable?
I tried to flash 2.53RUU (with eng. 2010spl), surely, it said the main version older and aborted. So can we just modify version info in the official RUU to cheat version check? Maybe...

You're stuck with the same SPL that a lot of people have. It doesn't allow remote fastboot commands.
Ty the Flashrec (Recovery Flasher) instructions here on the forum to see if that works for you. Remember to download the HTC Hero recovery.img though, it's the only one that works with the 6.35.07.29 radio on these devices.
Try these instructions:
(I know it says for Hero, but the guide works on 32A magic with 6.35.07.29 radio)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613
Use this recovery image instead of the Modaco/Cyanogen one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
If that works, then you'll need to flash an engineering SPL.
Download it from here and save it to your SD card:
http://www.4shared.com/file/167241823/658e8174/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html
Boot into recovery by turning off your phone, then turning it on by holding Home and pressing Power. Choose the update.zip and you're good to go.
Then you can flash it back to original 32A radio and SPL using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544761
If the Recovery Flasher doesn't work, then you need to wait until somebody figures out how to root this SPL/ROM combination.

OK, then your ROM has the kernel security hole closed that Flashrec needs to run.
You're stuck waiting until somebody figures it out.

I was missing the Android Market wich didnt come with the Singapore RUU so just downloaded the the HK RUU, ran it with a gold card (dont know if thats really neccesary) and got Market.
The point being - if people are on the Singapore official update, would it be somehow possible to "patch" the HK RUU files from the temporary folders where it stores the files for the update? To say, replace the original HBOOT with an ENG HBOOT (possibly *.2007?)?
Since Singapore rom version is lower than the HK one..:
Singapore: ROM Version: 3.03.728.4(For Indonesia, Malaysia& Vietnam only)
HK-E: ROM Version: 3.03.990.6
..possibly it would skip the "wrong main version" or whatever it says during the update..?
Am I onto something here?

well first 728.4 or 990.6 is just the region code. 3.03 is the version number. and second, the right singapore rom number is 3.03.707.5 WITH market. u have downloaded a vietnam rom instead of singapore one. u can switch anyone of them without problem with goldcard since they are basically the same rom with tiny difference.
any asia RUU is ok

yes you are right. SG rom comes with market.
I have tried malaysia rom, vodaphone rom.
vodaphone rom is the fastest one for me but my pc didn't detect my phone if I install vodaphone hk rom. But it is faster than SG rom.
I have installed my SG rom on my phone several times.
no brick.
the thing is when I tried to replace any rom.zip or rom1.zip in the temp file with any other rom, somehow installation detected that i have replaced the files.
even I signed the zip. it didn't work.
even the signed the zip correctly, it will stop at hboot.
then got to install from RUU again.
HBoot seems to be so hard to crack and too strong to brick
double post..
can you tell me the step please. cause im using indonesian ruu & no market.
its perfect spl too..
Thx.. adr

About that "Backup FAILED" using Flashrec.apk..
I got that very same error when I used it on my new magic. BUT, when tried a second time (just hitting flash again) it WORKED! try if it works for you too.

You can have stock SPL and keep S-OFF. Security off doesn't mean you have tampered with the software and they could not void your warranty because of this. The old updates did not have S-ON; they had S-OFF and most employees of cell phone providers don't even know what this means or what an SPL is.
Extract the rom.zip file from the RUU and rename the file to SAPPIMG.zip. Put the file on an SD card and boot to HBOOT. Should be able to update. There are some tutorials on the forum.
but it doesnt update. hboot doesnt search file called update

If anything, you could just flash a custom BOOT if you can like Amon's and try to flash a custom ROM -- but if you still want S-ON then HBOOT is the way to go if you can not start your phone.

I had to update my phone with the above rom in RUU mode because it was stuck in RUU mode and couldnt do anything. I have a goldcard created but I dont know what SPL to install because of the rom version. would anybody be so kind as to helping me what to do next. Thanks.
Go in fastboot by pressing back+power (while your phone is switched off) and tell as what your SPL and radio version is. I suspect it's a 1.33.xx.xx SPL and 3.22.xx.xx radio, but you should better tell us in order to help you.
HBOOT is 1.33.0010
RADIO 3.22.30.17
Im on a 32b, S-ON H.
Are you sure it's 32B, S-ON H. If it's 32B, it should be S-ON G. Be very careful. If you flash your 32B Magic with a ROM that is meant for a 32A, you may brick your phone.

what originally happened is that i accidentally flashed my phone with an 32a RUU update, which didnt finish and got stuck on the RUU mode screen. I flashed it with an arabic RUU and i now my phone is up and running again. That is definitely what comes up on the fastboot screen. Is there a 32b RUU that I can update to? or can i root my phone?
Official 3.03.990.6 SenseUI ROM for Vodafone - is where I got the rom from.
You should follow the instructions on this post. A friend of mine did the same thing and I used those instructions to install Amon_RA's ROM for 32B Magic.
Since you' ve already installed the Arabic ROM, you should do the rest:
Then follow below link to root the phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how...-in-one-click/
Then start phone recovery mode and update the SPL to ENG SPL 1.33. 2005 from below link:

Your phone should be 32A now, if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:

Put the flashrec.apk in the androidsdk folder. From a command prompt (the path should be that of your androidsdk folder) run:

Put the exact name of the flashrec app you downloaded.

Sir, you are a legend. I've finally sorted it after a couple of stressful days without my phone!
Im rooted. S-off. Running Coredroid. Ive changed the radio before but now it wont let me... even with PD98IMG on sd card, and with hack kit.

And ideas as to why im not able to change my radio?
more info please? is the PD98IMG.zip being recongized in hboot? or do you actually get it to flash and then it doesn't change?

Ok, sounds like you downloaded a file that wasn't in the right format to just drop it on the SDcard and boot into hboot. Lucky for us there is an easy way to do this. Go to this thread. Download the radio and corresponding RIL file. Put both on the SDcard and boot into hboot. I assume you will check the md5 sum numbers just to be sure you aren't going to flash a corrupt/bad radio file. . Everything you need is in that linked thread. RIL is easy to flash too, if you haven't done that before. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine. Good luck!
