Hey guys, I've made the mistake to update to the official 1.6 (spanish vodafone) firmware and now I don't have ROOT access, so I can't change to any other rom. Sorry for posting in here, but I couldn't find a (simple) solution to this, since ROOT-ing the device leads to a 10 different sites requiring different things. Anyone has a clear answer on how I can ROOT or just change to a different ROM? (adb or bootloader don't work due to the root probs)
Your steps now if you have a 32B device:
Make a Goldcard
Flash this sappimg.zip (It's a 32A Image, with an engineering SPL)
Then flash this sappimg.nbh (It's a 32B Image with Android 1.5)
After you have flashed the NBH with Android 1.5 you are able to use flashrec.

Hi all,
I am fairly new to the HTC/Android hacking (I've had fun with hacking motorolla phones in the past). I've been using the following Wiki to find out information on how to flash my phone etc.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
so i found out that my phone is:
32b ship s-on g
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
i glossed over the SPL flashing on the wiki as my spl was not described as a 'perfect' spl. so when i came to section 3. Learn how to use fastboot and boot a recovery rom. i followed the steps and issued the CLI command
C:\AndroidSDK> fastboot boot recovery-rom.img
using the recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G.img rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
I recieve the following error:
downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
now i looked up this error and it seems like the SPL on my phone is a 'perfect' SPL. I don't really know enough about this stuff to confirm it though.
Can anybody help me out here? or maybe point me in the direction where this issue can be solved.......
Yes, yours SPL is the perfect spl....
There is a "one-click" method to flash recovery rom on your phone, so you do not have to fastboot via adb.
Step 1: Download Recovery Flasher (search forum for the link), and install it on your phone.
Step 2: Download your desired recovery rom image (Cy or Rav), and copy it to the root of sd card.
Step 3: Open Recovery Flasher on your phone, and enter /sdcard/xxxxxxxx.img and flash it
Step 4: Switch off your phone, and switch it on again by holding "home" + "power"
That is it!! You can now flash any mod rom
By the way, you can flash new spl once you got into recovery mode on your phone! So you can use fastboot if you wish.
I am a complete novice and only got my HTC Magic yesterday but am interested in putting on a Sense UI so I can have multi-touch functionality, etc.
I have the same settings as roooss:
UK Vodafone HTC Magic
32b ship s-on g
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
I have checked the wiki for information as well as scouring through this forum and some stuff over at unlockr but am still a little confused what to do next and I am afraid I didn't really 'get' dereck66's response about the one click method. Sorry for the total inconvenience but I am totally new to all this so could someone explain this in more detail? Do I need to root and if so is this any different because it appears to be perfect SPL?
any help would be greatly appreciated
i have this same prblem, it seems to me no one has an answer, some boot.img will fit like dwang 1.13 hero and cyan is a nono.try dwangs and see if it works
I have been reading through loads and loads of pages on here and am getting a bit confused - please can someone help?
here are the details of my phone:
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000) : PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10
I have read that this may be a perfect SPL but am I right in thinking that the 'one click' method from unlockr can get round this? do I just need to root follwing that method with the amon recovery or do I still need to change SPL? if so do I do this by following the goldcard method on here?
is that all necessary if all I want to do is flash a new ROM or do I just root and upload the ROM? (preferably cyanongen's latest offering or one of the many Hero ROM's that are floating about) I am still trying to get my head around this all, what I really want is to load the new ROM and use Loccy's betterbrowser.
If someone could explain in more detail, that would be great - not each process as I have the tutorials but just what stages I need to go through (for example - root using one click method...)
These are some of the things I have been looking at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKPsClQiFVQ

any pointers to other tutorials I may need to look at would be also appreciated

Hi!
My magic is 1.33.0006 (Vodafone Spain) so is a Perfect SPL, I have been reading about the different ROMs and some of them need a different SPL, my question is:
If I rooted my magic (was shipped with version 1.5) and now I have installed the Cyanogen 4.2.13 and the RA Recovery 1.5.2G, Do I need the goldcard to change the SPL and the radio version? or with just entering in the recovery mode is enough?
Thanks in advance,

Yeah. Entering recovery mode is enough
Goldcard method is basically avoid region check (if you will flash official ROM, that isn't for your country). In some times GC may used when flashing .nbh to get rooted.
i still am confused about the PERCECT SPL, which I have (.0006) is this SPL good enough for flashing new ROMs, I completed the 1 Click ROOT with no issue flashed the latest Cyanogen ROM, but I wanna try a HERO rom, its kinda why I got a Android Device. This SPL stuff is actually confusing me, five years for HTC devices I have never had an issue or really been confused on what to do, there is a first time for everything.
If i do need to change my SPL, which should I goto? I would like tjust to leave it alone and contine to FLASH on, cause I've been waiting for weeks to get an Android device and flash awaY!!
THANKXXX
actually I think I found a thread just above this one that answered my question, but if anyone want to confirm the correct idea, thatn that would be cool, but I m gonna go ahead and upgrade to SPL: Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 BUT i would like to be sure thats what i need to do, i would like to keep my NO BRICK record intact
SPL recommended
Hi,
Thank for your answers, I'm thinking to change the SPL but I'm not sure which one use, Is the same Danger SPL and the one posted in the sapphire-port-dream website in google (I can't post urls) as latest? If I flashed this SPL will I be able to install all the ROMs that need different SPL? or is better a Engineering version like Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (I'm confused about the differences).
My magic is SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT - 1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.1926I
Also I want to ask, if I flash the new SPL (if the versions above are compatible with my phone), Will I need to re-flash again the Cyanogenmod version (or the ROM that I choose)?
Thanks!

Mmm... 1.33.2005 (Haykuro Danger SPL) is most popular SPL for 32B-devices
Devs recommend it to flash before flashing their ROMs.
Usually, you don't need to re-flash ROM
Hi everybody
1st : i'm french so my english is not very well ^^
-
I got a mytouch 3G perfect spl (Vodafone SFR)
I've created the goldcard
i juste want to root my phone
I just found this tutorial :
[How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
I'm afraid ^^
I don't want to brick my phone, so i want to know exactly what i'm doing.
Is that really present a risk (if i follow exactly the tutorial?) ?
If the phone bricked, can we send it in waranty?
is it possible to install a french ROM after have applied this tutorial?
Thanks for answers

Is the procedure correct for my phone?
Thanks for answers
Like one out of a thousand flashes is going wrong, and then it's just because someone doesn't follow the instructions. If you follow the instructions as it's written, nothing can go wrong (but don't blame me if it does).
If your phone is bricked, you cannot send it to warranty.
Most stable ROMs are multi-language, so they should have French.

So if i want to change my ROm :
I downloaded a new ROM and place it on my SDCARD
I boot the phone in fastboot mode (Vol- and power)
I connect to the compputer
I launch fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
I wipe Data
I apply the ROM

Yes. You can also do "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img". This will flash the recovery, so you can boot your phone to recovery mode (home+power) without having to use a computer.
Thanks for answer.

Did you wipe the phone in recovery before updating ROM ?
yes I had Wipe the Data 2times and aftyer i've applied the ROM.
I also can re-install the AmonRa Rom RAv1.1.0H 32A based ROM
but i've tested 3 other eclair rom and all have the same problem : blocked on the Vodafone screen.
Must I do update my SPL to 1.33.2010 to install eclair?
have you got some other ideas?
Thanks
You're saying you're having MT3G, at the same time, your saying you're having 32A? MT3G is 32B.
My phone is a 32B (SFR - Vodafone in france)
but the procedure i've followed (how to root / unroot mytouch 3G... by AmonRa) used "my RAv1.2.0H recovery" and "1.33.2005 hboot"
And also I applied the "RAv1.1.0H 32A based ROM" like in the tutorial.
Apparently i Have to :
Connect fastboot with 32A recovery
Flash with a 32B Radio
Reconnect fastboot with 32B recovery
Install new rom
If i do that, which Radio must i used?
Do you think this is correct?
thanks a lot
I confused radio and SPL
Witch 32B radio can i take to put on my mytouch 3G?
Where can i found it.
thanks for answers
PLEASE HELP : rebooting with OpenEclair 1.2.1
I have a « small » problem with my Handy, I’m from Switzerland (so sorry for my bad english) ;-)
I have upgrade my HTC SPL and Radio, and after i have „flash” my ROM with the latest Rom of openeclair with the patch for the 32A model. It work well but after the OS loading, it reboot when it want the PIN code…
I have wipe all thing available, i have format the sd card, I have test without de SIM card ,I have fix apk uid mismatches but nothing change
Rahhh i have Wipe and wipe and wipe…. Flash and flash and flash…. I have also dowgrade the SPL and Radio…. It make nothing.
Please help me, i come crazy… And the nigth i dream about boot and reboot….
I have an HTC Magic
32A rooted
I have make one partition on the sd card …
I have the recovery file from AmonRa for the magic 32A
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT 1.33.2005 CPLD-12
RADIO 6.35.10.18
Please Help me…I don’t have flash the SPL with SPLDanger because I’m not Sure that i have the G1 phone.. (ver. 32A)
I can just see the screen with the pin code …. Nothing else….
And thank you for your rapid answer
Stocker Bertrand
P.S. Perhapse I have make a not good think, give me a line I’will test it, i don’t no where i must seek… It’s the SPL ? or the Radio ? or the sd partition ? Is there a test to check that ?
Hi,
You have flashed the new Radio but not the new SPL, 1.33.2005 (which is the "Danger" SPL, by the way) will not work with 6.35 Radios.
1.33.xxxx SPL needs a 3.22.xx.xx Radio
1.76.xxxx SPL needs a 6.35.xx.xx Radio
You have two solutions now :
1. Flash the 3.22 Radio back to be able to install the ROM you wanted to (I assume Openeclair runs on the old Radio)
2. Flash the new SPL (1.76.2007) and install CursorSense (there are a few other ROM that work on the new Radio but not many)
additional note : you need to use Amon_RA's Hero Recovery (or Cursordroid modified Recovery) with the 6.35 Radio, the "classic" one for the Magic won't work.
You can find the files in Cursordroid's repository.
Be carefull and don't do something unless you fully understand it. Messing with SPL and Radio can easily brick your phone...
ok
Thank you for your fast answer, i will test that and write the result here.
You Win !!
Hello,
I just test it yersterday, I Can not downgrade also i have Upgrade the both, SPL and Radio.
Cm Work Now without any problem, but I cannot use OpenEclair...
But is no Problem, my magic is functional, stable and fast... I'm Happy with that ..
Thank you again to Swissp for your Help

Hello, I'm really hoping someone can help me out here. I think I’m suffering from a case of information overload!
I have a Google ION, originally from the developers conference in San Francisco.
My ultimate objective is to get Cyanogen loaded on, but I understand that it is first necessary to root the device.
I've found dozens of guides on the magic and G1 and some info for the ION but not found anyone saying it works for my variant of the phone.
The exact details are:
Sapphire PVT 32B DEV S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.3005 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
May 29 2009, 14:38:09
Model Number
Google ION
Firmware version
1.6
Baseband version
62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernal version
2.629-00479-g3c7df37
Build number
DRC83
As you can see I’ve updated it to 1.6 from it's original 1.5.
Can anyone either point me to a rooting guide that is known to work with this variant or offer advice on what they did to achieve root?
Following on the next step is to get Cyanogen loaded on...
Any help appreciated
Thanks
It's basically a rooted 32B Magic, isn't it?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page has most of the information you need on installing CM. as for rooting, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking has the information and the links you need to visit to get the files you are going to need.
I have the same device from the conference. The easiest way I've found to root them is to download Amon_RA's G recovery image, reboot the Ion into fastboot mode (holding the back button on the power up sequence), then issuing a 'fastboot boot' command on the recovery image.
Once the recovery image loads, use 'adb shell' to get a root shell on the device in recovery mode. You can then install the superuser whitelist by mounting the system image as read-write and copying the new su binary in place of the current one. Install the user interface APK after you reboot your device, and you should have root on the otherwise stock 1.6 Ion OS.
