Rogers HTC Magic 32A not booting custom ROMs - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Hi all. I've recently rooted my HTC Magic (previously with perfected 1.76.0010 SPL post-911 Rogers update) via the method recently posted. This included using the Euro RUU, installing Amon_RA's recovery and then installing the 1.76.2007 Engineering SPL.
Since then I've tried 5 or so roms including Legend, OpenEclair, Cursorsense, etc. Almost all of them installed, but never got past the HTC Magic starting boot screen, even after giving it ~20min (the one exception is Legend, which has worked both times I've tried it).
I am also able to revert back to the Euro ROM (not rooted) with nandroid.
Details:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP50000)
RADIO-6.35.10.18 (recently updated to this version try to fix this issue, no luck)
My process so far:
Created goldcard via unlockr
Installed Euro RUU "update" succesfully with no problems
Used ADB to reflash the recovery to latest Amon_RA recovery image
Used the recovery to flash 1.76.2007 zip from this forum
Wiped data/dalvik/ext (though I get an error on the ext wipe, using ADB shows the /sd folder isn't there anyway)
Used recovery to flash the various ROM zips
Should I maybe be using Fastboot to install roms or a different SPL? Am I doing something wrong here? Legend is nice, but I'd like to try others as well.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys can offer!

Were any of those roms specifically for "new radio" (6.xx) ? or did they specify "old radio" (3.xx) And did you make sure the roms were SPECIFICALLY patched or ported for Magic 32A (as opposed to 32B)

Thanks for the response
I ensured they were 32A, but some didn't specify which radio they were for. Is there some sort of reference, since not all them explicitly state which radio to use.

For example the front page of the forum section, you'll see a small handful that have [6.35] in the title, which means they're intended for that radio version.

Ah, I didn't mentally connect that with the radio version.
Some still don't seem to declare which radio to use, ie OpenEclair hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624545.
I can ask in each individual ROM threads if it isn't explicitly stated, but I wanted to see if there was an underlying problem first.
Thanks

If they don't specify the radio, its usually assumed that it is for the old radio 3.xx/2.xx, just like how traditionally if there was a rom for HTC Magic, its usually assumed it was for 32B. So your best luck since "new radio" isn't as common is to seek out threads specifically for your radio.

Ok, good to know. Thanks for your help!
Are there any risks to downgrading my radio? Any effective difference to the end-user at all?

Are you on Rogers? You'll want to stay with the new radio or risk the silly data cutoffs. Cursorsense should work fine with what you have. 2.1 ROMs are a little more tricky and not suggested unless you have the time to fool with it. Did you boot all the way up with the euro rom the first time?
When flashing are you doing a full wipe? remember that the 1st boot of most roms take a long time after which they are fine.

I'd avoid touching the radio at all, most of the bricked devices are due to trying to change the radios. (and as someone said above about Rogers you're on the ideal radio version)

No-root backup possible?

I'd like to back up my ROM (and/or data) before playing around with my Rogers HTC Magic. AFAIK, the Rogers Magic still cannot be rooted (yet). My question is, can I still do a backup?
pls help.....i wanna back up my rogers htc magic ROM too
maybe I am confused, but I did not think there was any difference between GSM Magic's. there are some myths, but they seem to be rubbish.
in any event, I would also like to do a rom backup without rooting first

There are different radio versions. It is a known fact that for example the Rogers Dream and Magic cannot be rooted yet. Something like a different offset in memory where the ROM (or radio?) start.

Parrot5 is right. HTC changed som internals on latest Magic phones. If you own a PVT 32A phone with SPL .0008 or .0009, you could give a try to daldroid-recovery.img from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523680
You should be able to FASTBOOT the image and make a nandroid backup from the modified image running from your phone's RAM (no need to flash it).
BUT BEWARE, nandroid is not able to do a full raw image dump of your original rom, so there is no known way (I'm aware of) to backup your SPL and radio rom.
Furthermore version .0009 SPL doesn't allow to use "fastboot flash" (it checks digital signature of rom files) to reflash your backup files, so don't count on the how-to which tells you to do so. That's for modded SPL from haykuro.
Someone reported they were able to flash the modded SPL to unlock the flash from fastboot feature (the modded spl doesn't check for signed images) but no dumped image for your original SPL is available so you will not be able to restore it.
I didn't flash modded SPL so search the forum for info about that (please pay attention to check for confirmation by users with your same phone, hw, spl and radio rom)
Always check if the rom you wanna flash is compatible with your phone, I confirm HTC made some changes and the git sources for Android do not reflect latest Sapphire board implementation.
Hope this helps,
Daldroid

Rogers new rom with Updated Radio inside

Hi,
Rogers released new dream rom with a radio update.
We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I now
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:
http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=269&cat=2&dl_id=654
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.

Plenty questions, 32A

Hello.
I've been here for around a week now, reading tons and tons of threads and guides, yet it leaves me with a bunch of questions i am having trouble finding answers to.
First of all, this is the information i've managed to get from my Magic
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.23.18
Sep 2 2009, 17:42:56​
It's bought in Denmark, however i bought it used, so i don't know what's happend to it in the past, yet as of what i've read and tried, i believe it's still as stock.
A bunch of questions
General
1. What is SPL?
2. What are the different types and differences of SPLs?
3. What is Radio?
4. What is a "Goldcard"?
5. In what part of the proces from stock ROM to a Hero ROM is the chance of bricking the phone?
Concering my phone
1. How to you get started upgrading a stock Magic with the standard ROM to a Hero ROM? (Do you flash SPL first, recovery first, or something third?)
2. I believe but not sure, that my current SPL is a "perfect" one, do i need one of these so-called "goldcards" to get a Hero ROM?
3. How great is the chance of bricking the phone with my specs and versions, and is there any way to minimize this chance?
​
I hope that someone will be able to help answering my possibly stupid questions, so i'll eventually be able to get a Hero ROM working on the dear magic without bricking it.
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure if this is posted in the correct section, if not, please forgive me.
Some of these questions can be answered in the sapphire wiki, which is in the sticky at the top of this sub forum.
You can only brick your phone (completely recoverable) from screwing up when flashing your spl or flashing the wrong spl

The only thing you need to remember from the settings is 32A. Never flash anything that doesn't say it's for 32A (not entirely correct, but safe bet ;-)).
The first thing you need is to root and install a recovery, I recommend AmonRA recovery. I never flashed SPL or radio, you can install almost all ROMs without flashing radio/SPL.
now more in detail on your questions:
1. SPL (or HBOOT) is the "Second Program Loader". Flashing this incorrectly can brick your phone, so don't do it, and you're normally safe.
2. stay with stock ;-) I only flashed an engineering SPL just last week, but was flashing almost daily ROMs. I still don't see the advantage of flashing a different SPL
3. The radio is the firmware of the 'radio' chip in your mobile. Also not safe to change for beginners.
4. Not sure, it is used for rooting some devices it seems, or to bring bricked devices back from the dead. If you need to know more, you're in trouble ;-)
5. Stay away from flashing radio/SPL and you won't brick your phone (although sometimes you need to know some 'trick' to get the phone back in useable state ;-))
how:
1. root and install a custom recovery. From the recovery you can do nifty things: mount USB, wipe, flash, make a backup, restore
2. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!! With that, you can always go back to your previous state (providing you didn't brick the device)
3. take one of the 32A ports of Hero, never a ROM that is made for the Hero itself (partition layout is different, and some hardware too). I recommend my-hero 2.0.5. It works well, is made for the 32A, and safe to flash.
You can find more details on those steps in the forum, but I hope some of it has become more clear.

Thanks alot for your answers! It was helpfull. However you say that i don't have to flash a new SPL, are you sure about that? I believe i've read somewhere i'd have to flash a new one in order to get root access because i have a perfect SPL - please correct me if i am wrong
You really don't need to flash SPL (unless for cursorsense). You DO need to flash recovery, this makes everything a lot easier.
ah, you have a 'perfect' SPL, sorry, missed that part. I don't have that, so I didn't need to flash SPL at all to enjoy custom ROMs.
Can't help you with that then, search more info I'd say!
The information you provided did help indeed.
However i found out how to make a goldcard, now i just need to know if i found the right SPL to flash.
Would this be the right one for me?

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:

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.

Problems flashing Radio

I have a HTC Magic from Rogers Wireless and I'm trying to flash a new Radio onto it. Fastboot will send the new radio over to the phone but when it attempts to write it the screen on the phone will go blank with some funky lines running down it. Even leaving it for 20min, the radio still not written. Phone is OK after pulling the battery but sill on existing Radio
Here are the specs on my phone
Sapphire PVT 32A
SPL 1.76.2007
Radio 3.22.20.17
Recovery RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H
Rom CM 5.0.7 Test 3 with EBI1 Port
I'm trying to flash Radio 3.22.26.17 from the Rogers HTC Dream E911 update onto the phone so that Rogers will not cut off the data when the old radio is detected.
Thanks!!
Actually, how did you managed to install that SPL with that radio...
The SPL you are using is made for Radios 6.* not 3.*...
I ran the Rogers RUU from last summer then used flashrec to inslall cm recovery.
I used cm recovery to flash the 1-76-2007 SPL then I flashed RA recovery (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img). Did a nandroid backup and then wiped & flashed the files necessary for CM.
If this incorrect what SPL should I be using, I can always revert back and start over again.
Thanks!!
You can probably use the steps here to solve your issue.

Blasphemy.
If you wish to link to a guide then link to a proper one - one by CursorDroid, not a copy of it. (now there are credits, but back at the day when it was written the author did not give credit to people he should have.)

You could also try the tool from my sig.

My apologies. I just happened across this, verified it worked and suggested it as a solution. I wasn't trying to cause any problems or dredge up any hard feelings. Just trying to help the OP solve his problem.
It does provide the solution to his issue, does it not? I agree, the people who dedicated their hard work should have been thanked properly, but at the time I linked there, the credits were up.
Sorry to offend.
Edit: I linked to this one as the OP indicated he wanted the original Rogers radio/spl.
ive done this because i made a mistake before
flash the 2010 spl and the sapphire recovery and all will be well
