This new is:
62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
Anyone able to get it out so we can flash it on cyan latest mod rom?
Dont know exact radio version but go here for rom:

Thanks again.

the whole dump is an nbh file that has to be flashed from the sd. Anybody know how to crack it open?

I bet it contains other fixes as well! The message on Twitter said that they fixed some bugs!

I remember back when I had my Wizard, there was a tool to pick apart nbh images and reassemble them. But this was for Windows Mobile, a completely different platform. Perhaps the basic file formats are similar?

Use qmat. It can unpack nbhs.

Mmmm, new radio.......yummy.....I like new stuff.....wait if it is a new radio, will this be able to work for us, how to we know that this won't jeprodize us with the danger spl. I know I ain't gonna be the first to try this

my thoughts exactly...took enough balls to go for the danger SPL in the first place.
my current radio works fine, so I am not going to mess.
then again...never say never. thats what XDA is all about

Well we know the radio calls the spl and that the old radio was not able to call the hayruko spl which cause way too many paperweights so how will we know if this radio will also call it, we can assume that since it is an update would but the word assume means to make an ass out of you and me, so is there any way that this can be checked or tested numerous times before we possibly get another wave of bricks and without a cupcake over the air excuse to fall back on. Just my thoughts.

Never change a running system my father tells. Me all the time.. ;-)

Yeah but I like new stuff, I got so used to it feeling like christmas around with new stuff all the time that I got spoiled. I have had this radio and spl for 3 months now and I am bored off it. I demand something new that could cause some new widespread havoc, can't we get something that causes a self destruct if installed incorrectly, kinda jealous of those iphone 3gs users and their exploding batteries, I want something that explodes and catches fire. I demand a refund what am I paying you dev for, wait I don't pay you, nevermind forget this whole post
P.s. I am just playing

rogers is DREA210
we have mostly DREA100/110
i dont think we r able to flash it...

Hardware is identical.
So it should work OK.
Just give me radio Rom only and i will flash it asap.
drea110 here.
You can go back to default by flashing DREAIMG.nbh and then re-flash with this Rom and all will be OK.BUT YOU WILL LOOSE ROOT!
And that is why i didn't flash it yet
Am waiting for someone to give a proper radio Rom to flash.

There will always be a question about whether any new radio image (IPL) that ships will be compatible with a hacked SPL or other SPL not intended for the specific device. This new IPL could very well brick every device it is installed on when mixed with the deathSPL. I very strongly suggest that nobody tries this IPL unless they switch back to their STOCK SPL. Now that HTC has so kindly provided the kernel source needed to build custom kernels that will boot on a stock dream as provided to rogers, there is absolutely NO NEED to continue using the deathSPL phone killer.

Hey, does this nbh file carry the SPL? (it must, doesn't it?)
If it does, then you could maybe just install this and reroot.

Yes it contains spl and radio rom and os rom on it so it will put back everything on stock.
But you will loose root and as of now there is no way to root on 1.5 version.. yet.
if there is i would flash it.
Re-root leave radio and check spl version.
if newer than deathspl would leave it and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
If not reflash haykuro new hacked spl back and then wipe and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
And am back in bussiness with new radio and/or spl.
But rooting on 1.5 cupcake needed to do that so...

Really REALLY WRONG!
As I rank your knowledge about SPLs,Radios and android itself with this post, you shouldn't flash this, except if you wouldn't cry and open up a thread "My G1 is dead" ;-)

And you base that on what?

1.5 is rootable - look for "goldcard"
Second: This update has a different SPL - It's not an Engineering SPL.
It replaces your recovery.
And I think these Recovery and ROM wouldn't boot on a regular T-Mobile G1, because it has a different radio chip.
It's very risky to flash this, because it's from a different phone.
It's NOT the same hardware!

I hope this is not a very stupid question, but why would you need a goldcard. Can't you just revert to RC29 and root you device the old and easy way?

Of course i didn't expect it to be engineering spl, this rom are made of normal ppl to use not experiment so normal spl would be on it but maybe the same as g1 or newer.
rogers only modification was on UMTS 850 / 1900 bands the normal g1 only supports UMTS 1700 / 2100 but rogers g1 users did flash radio rom from g1 vanilla see hardspl or even haykuro's hacked spl and they work fine so why not the contrary?
After all they keep the same base versions:
We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
They have 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
If they had: 3.0008 i wouldn't bother smells from miles is not same radio hardware
But as you can see the code is identical to each other, only newer!
The hardware IS the same my friend only they dont have dvt only pvt motherboards and they all be flashed with latest haykuro's spl and radio!
If am wrong the os will load but i wont have cell reception but that is as far as it goes for a brick.
Am 99% this rom will do just fine on any pvt g1 phone out there.
As for goldcard, didnt know there is a way to root on 1.5 please enlighten me.
Is there anything to download to make this happen? ->link
if it is am more than 101% that this rom will go on my phone sweet.
After that i dont know what happens will i be able to flash haykuro spl back or i will have a brick? will it let me flash custom rom?
Over and out.

Non Newb w/ a newbie question =)

I fell off the face of the planet when it comes to updating my phone. I followed directions a long time ago to convert my mytouch 32a to a 32b device and also downgraded the spl (i believe thats what it was)
My question is:
Im looking to put another rom on here, this isnt as easy as it was w/ the g1 i had used for a while.
Im wondering how to properly flash this rom to my phone. Do i just do a normal wipe and flash?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575501
im very familiar w/ adb and commands, just let me know the proper process needed and that should do it really. Just dont want to brick my phone due to something i SHOULDNT have did (something with the spl not being right, if i remember im on the 2005 that was needed due to the unrootable spl that was shipped w/ the phone, goldcard method).
***EDIT***
forgot to mention clearly that i am running cyanogens last rom right before googles butt in.
If this steps on anyones toes, sorry.

If your just trying to update the rom, do a wipe then update the rom, not gonna brick it unless your doing spl... be sure to nandroid before...

what spl do you have right now? haykuros 1.33.2005? what rom do you want to flash?

Ohh and it is much easier than when I first did it with the G1.. so relax, take your time, look at what rom you need, research the recovery rom as you didnt mention it.

to tell what spl you just boot the phone with power and back then read from the top

im using the 2005 haykuro i believe, the one that you used through tutorials to get rid of the unrootable spl. I am using the RAv1.2.1g recovery.
the whole "wiping and flashing" isnt a problem with a nadroid backup. Only thing confusing me is this 32a and 32b. Since i "converted" im confused as to how dedicated these for functionality.

well when you boot into fastboot what pvt board does it say? i would ask around because i didnt know you could change pvt boards...this could either be a BIG THING or it couldnt matter...

im currently running the sapphire pvt 32b
hboot-1.33.2005
radio is 2.22.19.261

Way of getting Hero’s Bluetooth audio working on Sapphire 32B device

There are three things need to be changed to make the bluetooth working on (MyTouch 3G, Magic or Saphire) 32B phone.
1- Radio should be changed from 32B type to 32A type.
2- Kernel should be changed to kenel 2.6.27 (the Kernel should support BT e.g. HoFo-12. Note that not all Kernels support BT). "This only for developers to change Kernel"
3- Recovery should be changed to recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img
There are three options avalibale to change the phone from 32B to 32A mode:
Option 1:
If the device is not yet rooted, First root the 32B device according to below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Please follow above link and stop at Revert to 32B Radio and ROM i.e. do not go and apply this step and beyond.
Option2:
If the phone is already rooted and has 32B radio (radio 2.22.19.26I), execute below steps to change the radio to 32A radio (radio 3.22.20.17). Also flash the Recovery RAv-magic-v1.2.3H.
Put the phone is fastboot (hold back button and press end button)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery (does not matter)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.3H.img
1- Press MENU to power off! (do not reboot)
2- Hold HOME and POWER to boot into recovery mode
3- Apply 32A ROM.zip
Option 3:
Even if your phone was already rooted as 32B device with 32B Radio, above link will still work if followed to set the 32B device in 32A mode to accept 32A ROM’s with working Bluetooth.
Now the 32B device is ready to accept 32A ROM’s, choose one among 32A ROM’s in below links (These ROM's have already a working BT in their Kernel 2.6.26) :
1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274
2- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534415
3- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548837
4- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575501
Pleas follow the link associated with each ROM to update the device with chosen 32A ROM to flash desired 32A ROM in the phone.
Note that these three ROM’s are little bit slower because they are based on HTC Kernel 2.6.27.
I prefer two ROM's which are:
1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274
2- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575501
This is because there is a way to optimize it by using the “Swapper” application available at Android Market.
The steps to optimize this ROM is to two partitions FAT32+SWAP or even FAT32+EXT2+SWAP in Sdcard. Easiest way to create the 3 partitions, is to use recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img at below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Set the device in the Recovery Mode (Hold HOME and POWER to boot into recovery mode) to create the 3 partitions.
Then download Swapper application from Android Market to the phone. Start Swapper on the device and go to:
Configuration/ Settings/ Advanced preferences and check Use swap partition. Then set the swapper on. Finally close the Swapper.
Note using RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img enables only 32 MB swap while recommended is 128 MB swap. An alterantive is to use Paragon Partition Manager or any other avaliable methods to create the swap partition.
Note that whenver the phone get restarted the swapper has to set on again.
These ROM’s can also run in regular Home or Sense. Home is faster than Sense if someone does not like to use swapper. Please download and install “AdvancedLauncher” application from Android Market to help choosing the preferred Home, Sense or AdvancedLauncher. Note the device has to be restarted to choose the desired home.
Now the 32B device should be working on 32A ROM with Bluetooth sound.
Note that the 32B device will only accept 32A ROM’s now.
If Revert to 32B Mode is desired, please follow below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Start at Revert to 32B Radio and ROM to revert the phone to 32B mode to accept 32B ROM’s again.
Enjoy your 32B phone with working Bluetooth.

Interesting. How safe is this? Changing device radios is usually where bricks happen and it makes me nervous.

I have changed my phone mode I. e. Radio many times as I mentioned without no issues at all. I always switch between 32A and 32B.

But how's the speed ?
Let's say this posts recommended MyHero 2.0.4 (with swap enabled) for 32A against other SenseUI ROM's for 32B (which it is actually/hardware wise is).

This is very interesting...
I want to see a proof of 32A Radio running on 32B before flashing..
Maybe this owuld fix BT for g1 too?

Would love to see Proof of this.

Oh, and for G1 users, they would have to fastboot the content of the sappimg..

i can vouch for this. when i first rooted my 32B MT3G i used this rooting method (before any other where discovered). I ran 32A Roms on my mytouch for a few days before switching to the 32B radio (since there where more options for 32B at the time)

Wasn't there a lot of discussion when the mt3g first got root, that you could stay on the 32A radio? I got mine the day they came out, and I think I remember that the original way we rooted left us with 32A radio. I seem to remember that the flash back to 32B radio was discussed as optional? Don't go on my memory though, I'm going to re-read those old threads.

yeah flashing back to 32B was optional. But 32A roms didnt run great since their kernel was optimized to run with more RAM.
To OP... hows the speed in comparison to say... evils nano rom?

Yep, I went back and re-read the original thread that Amon-RA posted, and I also ran 32A for a few days, because I had to decide if it was worth the risk to flash the radio again if I didn't have to.
BTW, are we talking about stereo bluetooth, handsfree phone bluetooth, or both?

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.

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.

I have tried the following methods...
sappimg.zip + goldcard
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
SAPPIMG.nbh
Main Version is older!
No luck, just errors. Anyone got any suggestions?

Not yet and the fact that none of the senior members are bragging any where they can do it I think we are pretty much stuck. In fact no-one is talking about trying to hack this so I think it maybe in the too difficult bin! Time to save up and get a Nexus One

nooooooooooo

32A Rom on your 32B may brick your phone
dreamsofubuntu said:
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

*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.

dreamsofubuntu said:
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

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

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...
edit -
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???????????

Rogers forced upgrade = perfected SPL?

Hi everyone,
Been trying to root my phone since yesterday and had a bit of trouble. Now it seems that the SPL I have is a perfected one as I am unable to use fastboot for recovery.img (not allow error).
This is what I have:
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD 12
Radio 6.35.10.18
Is there a way to change this SPL at this time? I know there are ways for older ones but I wasn't sure that I should be changing to an older SPL (and risk bricking my phone) so I thought I'd ask first!
Any advice/input greatly appreciated.

Yeah that's a perfected SPL. I assume Recovery Flasher doesnt work? If you can't use Recovery Flasher then you are out of luck until someone can break into those phones.
Keep in mind the hero recovery is the only one that works with the 6.x Radio.

Arrrgh!!! I'm tempted to go to the Rogers store and exchange my Magic for another one (without the upgrade on it). I still have 8 days to do so according to Rogers policy...

chances are you'd get another with perfected spl.
This is how i got mine working from perfected spl->custom rom
If you want a different rom, dont follow the last 2 links, and find whatever you want to flash, after the first 2 links you will have a non-perfected spl and be able to flash whatever your heart desires.
There are easier ways to do this if you are not running windows 7. Apparently theres a way using htc sync, but i cant get it working, even with all of the fixes that people have claimed work for them
PurpleFries said:
u can have a sense ui running on 1.5, if you are only concerned with how it looks. Just flash the cursorsence rom, if u have 32a phone. ensure u dont have a perfect spl. If you did the rogers dream->magic switch, likely you have a 32a phone with 1.33.0010 perfect spl. you must get rid of this first.
here's some links to help you out as i did this process yesterday. took me a helluva long time.

For the video in that link, watch up until the point where he tests the goldcard by putting it back into his computer to see if it opens. You don't need to follow his instructions past there

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm actually using Windows 7 so I'll have to do it that way.
Does it matter that my SPL is 1.76.0010 rather than 1.33.0010?

umm.
Actually im not 100% sure. Kuz i know messing with the radio and spls can be problematic if you flash them incorrectly... I personally would go straight to flashing These instead of going to 1.33.2007
maybe wait for someone more experienced to comment, kuz radio and spl being flashed wrong will result in a brick

Its 1.76.2007 not 1.33.2007. For now u need some practice at stage 1 - keep your original radio & spl. Otherwise like u said yourself, BRICK!

Got the HTC Magic upgrade through Rogers...
Perfected SPL
Since they still use 1.5 (yet they claim they care about security, lol) RecFlash works a charm.
Install RecFlash, slash RA's Recovery, then use it to flash the ROM.
w00t!

me and asiano both did the same thing, just follow this here procedure:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/

I've tried that method with the new rogers update (SPL 1.76.0010), and it doesn't seem to work for me. The flashrec website even states it doesn't work with firmware released after November '09. Are you sure you had the new update when you rooted using this method?

yes but i think you don't have a perfected spl, we are not able to root because our spl version is 1.76.0010... can you confirm you got the same?

I have an updated Rogers ROM and Goldcard will not work with the current ENG SPL. Outdated

Same with me. Stuck on this ROM. I think whomever says they were able to get root with 1 click method or flashing the Engineering SPL did not have the same setup as those of us who are stuck. I've devoted about 20 hours so far to getting root again. None of the methods are working, and yes I'm following the directions to the letter. This is really starting to piss me off.
Is there anyone working on trying to root this new Rogers update ROM? It seems like most of the people who do this stuff have moved on to the Droid and N1. Do we need to start a fund to entice one of the people who rooted the other ROMs to come back and revisit Rogers 1.5 Sense? I'd throw $10 US into the pot.
Any other ideas?

im in!
10$ US, im in!

I'm in for $10
God I hate Canadian cell providers.

Can the phone still be unlocked to use on a different carrier though??

10$
Totally in. 10 bucks is a small price to pay for a rooted phone.
