woow! great job! cheers ; ))
Very good news, congrats bart99 and ezterry for de-bricking both Dream and Magic
could it be a way to break Perfect SPL?

That was the first thing i tought when started to read this thread!!! Hope so!
yes it should work, with jtag its possible to load a different spl to ram and then execute it
for mor info post on the other topic, ezterry did something similiar
bart99
Wow you guys are actually considering doing this to a functioning magic just to get root? daredevils
Anyway, great work!
Well if the goldcard method is not working for someone, this could be their solution(if they have enough knowledge of course ).

and here I have jtaged other peoples working dreams to give them root
not yet tried a magic.. but will likely in the near future
I like to send my MyTouch Fender to someone to have it unbrick it; If anyone can please let me know. I live in the US but can mail it anywhere.

lol. be careful with that. you might not get it back.
anyways, i'd be scared to try this. it seems like a few things could go wrong and you might just end up being out of one phone. probably need REAL steady hands.

heh
It is also assuming (seems likely but I don't think we can promise it) that the fender has the same jtag ports as the 32a/32b phones..
Also since there is so much problems rooting these things.. (And even the root now seems to be with the original kernel only) what will happen when it meets my jtag hack?
basically:
* If you are lucky it will just become a 32a/EBI1 w/ headphones.. [no I don't think I see a problem with that]
* a bit less lucky it will become a 32a/EBI1 w/ useless headphone jack
* even less lucky whomever is rooting it gets to chase down the fender firmware to make it go.. and additional radio hacks
* and unlucky damages a trace removing glue from the magics main board. (the rogers magic 32a has some brown epoxy that is hard as a rock filling the gap between the processor and ground shield over the jtag points.)

Same situation here as well. I'd love for someone to help me unbrick - it just goes straight to trying to update the radio but then the screen fades out and it hangs. Sigh.

So via some experimenting on my JTAGed dream I think I understand where the issue some people are having with the radio flashes on the 6.x radio.
When you flash a radio the SPL loads the radio image file into ram and calls a 'radata' command in the radio bootloader. The exact location and size are passed to the radata function.
* The 1.33.* SPLs load the radio image this near 0x103B5300;
* The 1.76.2007 SPL loads the radio image near 0x19500000
This major change in memory location appears to be important. The 6.x radio will loop forever validating the image when it is loaded at the lower memory address.. while flashes as usual at the higher address.
This means if you still have 1.33.2010 installed and flash a radio it will fail.
Flashing via fastboot this will get stuck (maybe fade the screen) until you pull the battery/usb; then boot the device as normal.
However if you do this via recovery: recovery will set the SPL boot mode to flash the radio from cache; and since the radio flash fails to ever return this setting is never cleared. Thus every time you boot the radio attempts and fails to flash.
(This appears to be many peoples problems if you really have 1.76.2007 and stuck in radio flash mode [boot mode 4] my guess is the radio.img has some bit errors or newly formed bad block in /cache.. causing the signature check to fail [despite the radio.img being validated when the zip file was opened via recovery].. I have seen this on one Dream I de-bricked)
-------
PS: the 6x radio is a no go on the dream.. blue light mode goes.. and with some prodding via JTAG I can softboot a SPL or re-flash a 3x or 2x radio.. but that is about the extent of what appears to work.
anyone willing to give my tmobile mytouch 3g a shot?
Not sure the radio/spl that is on it now since its bricked only get splash screen
But when I got the phone it was
spl: 1.33.06 30000
26i
willing to send it to anyone
Press and hold volume down and press Power. Can you get into fastboot? If so, you're not bricked.
Me too Success unbrick my touch 3g 1.2
Ezterry you are genius, as i follow your guide,with a lot of pain process,trial and error, i built my own JTAG wiggler interface and with a little mods.
everything has working..Good Job Ezterry..
now i can smile .
good job brother

LoL. Funny.
On a side note what goodies await us .
anyone managed to unpack it yet? i keep getting damaged file.

When you open the exe file you can grab the rom.zip from your Temp directory in C:\Users\(user)\AppData on Vista/7. The directory is a long number, nothing recognizable

"also, T-Mobile myTouch (until further notice) is not rootable. 1.33.0006 and 1.33.0010 is the dreaded “perfected” SPL. more on this later"
6/24/09
"also quick warning to everyone, steer clear of hboot 1.33.0010 unless you don’t want root. #
(cont.) most likely be a stock boot.img)"
Universal Androot confirmed working. This method is no longer needed and is to dangourous for some people so please use universal androot 1.5.3+
IF READ CORRECTLY YOU WILL NOT BRICK. BUT, Since a few of you dont have that ability, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR PHONE. There are no pros to rooting this phone yet, leave it alone if you dont know what your doing PLEASE. I beg you. You are in essence almost bricking your phone in order to root it in the first place. These arent fun and games, It is dangerous to rush this stuff
Listen.. Im more then happy to help people. BUt I fully understand why so many devs have left this place. Some of you are so utterly ridiculous with your questions, wanting someone to hold your hand. I cant sit on gtalk for hours helping you go through what should take 10 min , I have a life and kids and other things to do. I did this because I was bored and wanted to see if I could. There is not point in rooting it yet, there are no roms, nor will there be for at least a month. Please, if you cant even understand simple questions, have never rooted or even used an android phone before, please.. do not bother me. This place is insane with stupidity. I will change the tutorial in a little more detail later, but fo rnow, DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YORU DOING. IF YOUR BREAK YOUR CRAP< I DONT CARE, BECAUSE IT WASNT MY FAULT.
I am in no way an angry or mean person, but you people have given me a migraine. I see why all the rom devs hide from here so much
THERE IS NO POINT IN ROOTING THIS PHONE YET PEOPLE, SO STOP.. OMG PLEASE STOP LOL
IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! lol
After 3 days, sleepless night and 5 min from returning the phone, Together with the Awesome Cursordroid We have achieved full root of the fender mytouch/ Mytouch 1.2 revision.
Now.. Understand.. not many will have the fender Mytouch.. but this is the hardware they WILL be using in the fully confirmed Mytouch 1.2
If you do not follow my instructions fully, NOTHING WILL WORK.
Start by making a working gold card, pay VERY CLOSE attention to what the instructions for making a gold card say
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
READ READ READ. DO NOT download the SAPPimg.zip file it says on that page.
Get the top fixed SPL file 2010 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4332591&postcount=1
Once you have you working goldcard (remember, apply to PHYSICAL not LOGICAL) rename the fixed SPL/rom you just downloaded to SAPPIMG.img
Put that file on your gold card
Hold volume down while hitting power
You will boot into Hboot, and if goldcard was made correcly and file is in root, it will begin to read. MAke sure battery is full or chargeing. follow on screen directions for flashing. Reboot into Hboot.
You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY.
Now grab the stock radio and SPL from Cursordroid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5451898&posted=1#post5451898
From there on follow hiw directions for reupdating your radio and spl, plus give yourself a new recovery making ROOT.
Im not good at tutorials or typing on a tiny netbook keyboard so please forgive. Anyquestions please ask and I will go into more detail
In order
Goldcard
Amen ras fixed spl rom renamed SAPPIMG.img
Boot into Hboot volume down/power
let rom install saying yes to what it says. If it works..
Now boot into your recovery through fastboot
Flash phone with stock fender rom
reboot into fastboot
back out of update when it asks and flash STOCK radio and SPL back, now reboot
your splash screen for fender IS GONE, get over it. You can make a new one later if you realllly need to.
if you build the thread they will come, oh yes, they will come.

lol.. I figured if I could get a thread up with all our info, maybe I could get more people interested just for the fact hat nothing now works... which means this could be the same build in the coming Mytouch 1.2 that is basicly the same exact phone as the fender.
hey, im new here but i have a rooted g1. and i've been skimming thru the fender pages.
I also work at tmobile and used my discount to snag the fender. but as of now im still using my rooted g1 which currently has a tiny scratch on it which i cant stand "hence why i got a fender".
seems to me once the new mytouches come out with the 32a and 3.5 mm jack there will be more attempting to pwn his phone.
im still fairly new to all of this soo im tryin to soak up as much knowledge as i can.
but still w/o the root. the fender still is a sweet phone haha.
idk what to do with it, it just sits in my room i havent even put my sim into it yet. im deciding either to sell it or just let it sit until it can be rooted.
i use the wireless tether too much to switch to the mytouch.
in the mean time g'luck! kinda rough for us LE owners cuz only few people have it to play around with.
This might be noob as I am not 100% sure what perfected SPL means, but I had a SPL that gave the fastboot "no remote" error.
I used an official SEA RUU that comes with a ENG SPL, then I could update change what ever I wanted.
Thought I would just through it out there.
My phone is a model A6161.
Make a goldcard.
Then try to find an official HTC RUU with version higher than 2.08.531.1 but which has an open SPL or is only Cupcake so 1-click-root will work.
If that doesn't work just try a regular sappimg.nbh, but with goldcard too.

The problem is after days of reading and trying 5 different sapp.img every file gets the same device id failure. But I do understand having to find a higher number rom so Ill start on that quest.
So basicly what you saying is I need to find a pre rooted "offcial" rom that has and eng SPL allready or a 1.5 rom with open spl?
Ill try the 1.5 cupcake idea because the goldcard methos so far doesnt seem to work but that would make sense if we are trying to use to old a versions to root.
Looks like I have a new project for the day lol

I've already tried that, didnt work for me, got "Invalid device ID" however, I cannot make a gold-card because I always get "damaged sd card" or windows says I need to format it right. I'm 100% sure I did it right to three different SD cards, and I still got the same error.
--edit-- if you successfully make a goldcard for this phone, Ill pm you for shipping info LOL!

I think, your current way will not end with success.
Wrong model id or device id means, that HTC decided pick out Fender in another serie. Yes, i agree, that Fender has same SPL as Magics, but trying flash anything, that has another model id like trying flash Hero's ROM to Tattoo.
SPL ia like a computer's BIOS. SO if you flash foreign bios - your comp will probably die....
Saddened by the fact that Fender is limited edition. So it will not have big knowledgebase like Magic.

I'm new here, but typically how do people go about getting the attention of devs? Is it just create a thread an hope enough people show interest? Should we do a roll call of how many actually are interested in rooting this phone?

No.. I got the gold card made. The only reason it ever comes up as damged or reformat is because you applied the goldimg to the logical drive which is at top of list as opposed to Physical REMOVABLE DISK at the bottm. Its the only time I can get the error. but if I apply the goldimg to the logical drive it makes a perfect goldcard everytime. I tested it on aspar g1. So... its not a godl card problem lol

Looking through here for HTC RUU roms I seem to keep geeting dragged to the hero and WinMob forums which I dont think I should be. Where exactly would I find this?
My ideas are..
Find a rom of higher version that is rooted see if it works.
Find an older 1.5 build (which is proving hard) and go from there
Try and flash the rooted fender donut over it and see the results.
My main problem with this is, I dont think its able to be downgraded past 1.6.. Just like newer PSP's cant be downgraded to 1.5
After formatiing my 2gb sandisk (which may be the problem) now when using the 98mb SAPPIMG.zip I get "Main version is older" instead of "Device id failed"
Is this a good sign to on the right track? Im going to try the 62mb SappIMG.zip from amon ra's tut as soon as its done downloading and see if theres a difference.
Now.. what does main version is older mean? The firmware or the spl/radio. if so... is there a newer version i can use/or substitute a file for the Sappimg.nbh to just install a higher version rom.
Man.. The G1 is so much easier to do all this with lol
YEEEEES. Ok. I freaking fracking diddley did it. OMG i was sooo scared.
Wooo So happy now.
I unable to update my OP and thread title if a mod can help me with that.
If noone minds I am going to post my first ever tutorial on something. this was a real pain but I am up and running on Amon ras latest rom for now. On to the recovery....
EDIT-- Got a fully functioning Manups 2.1 1.5 going. THEBLUECOAT if you want to know how to do it PM me... Otherwise give me about an hour or so and I will have a full tut posted
AHHH.. EVEN worse.. I noticed now that it says I have a 32b board NOOOO
EDIT2- Such a dumbass I didnt make a backup of the orignal. Poop.. I liked the boot image and music apps. I just wish I could figure out why all roms so far dont recognize the touch screen as being there and want me to use the track ball. Even power button has 1 option Power off lol
UMMM touch screen not working. What didnt I do?
How do I get my SDCARD to not show up under logical, its under logical but the drive says "removable disk" all I have are phones to use, would this not be possible or would I need a driver replacement

you HAVE to use a card reader. thats where your problem has been. You have to use a card reader so that it sees the reader AND the card seperatly. So in hex, you dont see Logical drive then a row and then Physical and a row?
Im not pissed... I had the 2010 eng spl... trying to flash roms. No rom would use touch screen. so started over and ened up with a 32 b board now and a perfected spl again.... lol Argh... trying through it again now.

I used Amen ras newest Fixed spl fix 1.33.2010, made my gold card, renamed that file to SAPPIMG.zip, went into Hboot and it flashed without a problem.
I then rebooted into Hboot seeing the new Info.. Didnt look at the 32a/32b part yet so not sure if it happened there.
It then rebooted into whatever rom that file came with (look for Amen ras Fixed spl thread) the rom came up, with no tocu screen. only the track ball worked.
I rebooted and stupidly jumped right into flashing a couple of the new clair builds from king and.. the othe rguy lol. neither had touch support. I then went back to update to manups newest and used the 32a port file, and no touch screen...
I then rebooted and flashed the amen ra rom and rebooted into a Mytouch boot loop... went into Hboot and had a perfected spl and S-on. ARGH.
Just started from scratch again. Im really wondering why i loose touch screen support and why in the hell it say 32b now
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

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

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!

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.

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.
iv trued the gold card method and then the flashing but i keep getting system sw is older or newer not sure but somthing to that effect, its weird i rooted my htc hero within minutes but i dont know what tp do at this point i tried pushing the recovery file to the device via ADB and the term in the phone..any help please

i have the same specs an tried the goldcard method and all i get when i go to fast boot sappimg file is it starts to scan the sappimg then just goes back to hboot screen and never asks to update so can u tell us what files and that u used to get this done with ty and also what kind of card did u use i have tried scandisk and pny

tx in advance
I just had to do a warranty exchange and ended up with the 1.33.0007 s-on H. I had to go through the entire goldcard procedure on the Unlockr's page in order to get that bad boy rooted... It was a pain but it worked great! Now running CM 4.2.14.1 with the Darkstar theme (love that theme). Check out the Unlockr's page. He lays out the steps in a really easy way to follow!

Sigh! The danger of assumptions and reading material that is a few months old. Just because something is posted does not mean it will work from then on. Manufacturers are constantly creating new versions of the software to stop hacking. Your fender is in that boat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
Even if you followed directions from that link and got your phone rooted, so what? You still need developers to modify Roms to fit that SPL/Radio. Right now, it seems a lot of the developers have left the Magic. Why no? There are newer and more exciting phones to cook.
So, whoever is reading this, please do research, google, and check whether your version of the software can be rooted or not. If rooted, whether you can find custom Roms to use.

I just rooted my Fender mytouch yesterday. Instead of using the sappimg.img from the unlockr, use the top one on Amon's page here
One Note:
I had to name it SAPPIMG.zip to get it recognized in hboot. I would try it with the .img extension first, then re-name it SAPPIMG.zip if that doesn't do it. After that, I loaded the fender stock rom from curserdroid's post in this same section. once that was loaded, I still had to downgrade by loading this spl and radio from hereWhen done, everything works, touch screen, 3.5 mm jack, etc. I would follow crypysmoker's steps in his post here.It worked in my case, and should take care of your phone as well- Chris

well thanks for that i deff looked around on a few sites as well as google and im getting diff opinions, and im aware of the lack of ROMS if any i think there is 1-3 at most, mostly being buggy and unstable. i guess thanks for taking the time to look
After the installation of Radio (radio-32A-6.35.08.29) through Power+Home, I restarted telephone and it was not turn on, also any combination of button (Power+Home, back, camera) does not work. Telephone is charging, but nothing is reacting. What to do? What is for telephone GOOGLE G1?
Sounds like you bricked your phone... Sorry to tell you
EDIT:// Actually I might be wrong,, But I doubt it
I'm sorry that I can't really help you, but unless your G1 is from Rogers Canada, this is the totally wrong version of the Radio to install on the G1. I don't know if this can be helped still -- there might be a chance to rescue it, search for a thread containing "JTAG Endpoints" (or perhaps just "JTAG") in it's subject and see the status of that.

you are bricked
why did you flash a radio for a 32a to your 32b?
smooth move genius. should have researched first.
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=jtag+adapter&_sacat=See-All-CategoriesThis link should help.
tsk tsk tsk..
that's why i better be a noob-like man asking alot of questions b4 doin such things, specially like that.
than loosing everything coz of self-understanding
always ask ask ask
it wouldn't kill you
u should learn now fron ur mistake :/

Probably because radio version 6.35.08.29 seem more "updated" than 2.22.23.02.

Wrong, the rogers dream supports the same software as dreams elsewhere in the world.. the newer HTC (ie. Non Google branded dreams) happen to use the 3.x radio rather than the 2.x radio.
Google branded dreams can run the 3.x radio but that is uncommon.
In short I don't think any dream can run the 6.x radio and be happy,

Yes.. the 6.x oemsbl does still run on the dream.. but the spl wont boot. (Ie charges battery while off and can enter blue light mode.. but black display on boot)
This means jtag can be used to fix it. Just take note of the magic 32a w/ 6.x radio section in the jtag wiki page.
Did this a while back (um with the jtag testing phone not my primary phone) determined the radio booted oemsbl, but refused to start the spl, and when I forced it to load crashed nicely on boot.
So the only useful information achieved was how to flash back to 3.x.. and while that information is important for magic users that bricked with the 6.x radio.. dream users ought to stick with the 1.x, 2.x, 3.x radios.
