UPDATE-10/7 : The above method gives "signature verify fail" on SPLs with S=ON... We should try to find a way to sign the package

Of course let's try every key we can, but don't you think the carrier would have restricted it to their signing key only?
Possibly another method that requires UID system that we could do on a terminal app?
Code:
echo 'boot-recovery' >/cache/recovery/command
echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command

dumb question. Since everything on the mytouch is basically the same as the G1 (with the exception of the ROM), could we fool the NBH that was released for the G1 into thinking it's a myTouch Rom and use it to downgrade, gain root, then upgrade? I'll fully admit that it seems a little far fetched, but figured I'd ask.

no because then the nbh would fail the sig check

The Honorable Mr. Haykuro様 suggested that it should be possible to take an officially released signed-by-HTC NBH containing a hackable SPL, copy it to SD card using a card reader, and booting the phone while holding down the volume-down key. This should flash the SPL with one that allows fastboot.

not exactly sure what you need but when i do power + vol down, i get the 3 android on skateboard, then these txt show

so your comment made me think this... we have a hero RUU right? and burried within that are the images for the hero...could we use the RUU but replace the images with our own?

This is correct... so if anyone has one : please release it

sorry....timed out, didnt think it posted.

Any good news yet?
really want to install the new Hero ROM on my magic ..

flashing directly
A noob question ... can we flash the new HERO ROM to magic by pushing it directly without using the recovery image?

pushing it would require root, right?

no news update on this thread yet :-( i'm ready to write off this phone. practically nothing without the google suites of app and market app.

Ready to Donate $50 to the guy who roots. Otherwise the phone is useless. Help Please!!!

me too in the waiting ...
After purchasing htc magic in india, I too figured out that its SPL is the unfortunate one : HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H : CPLD-12.
Though some options are available to install applications from:
1. http://slideme.org/applications
2. http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/!index
3. http://www.openmarket.co.za/
But above are in no way comparable to Google apps,Market place.
Eagerly waiting for this SPL to be cracked .

count me in. ready to donate to anyone who could help bring life to this phone. btw, i will never buy an htc until i've visited xda-developers.

What SPL should I choose to replace the 1.33.0007 SPL?

Hello to all,
I have already started a thread about this topic, but it was on the wrong section( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4663229 ), I apologize to all users and moderators.
Here goes:
I have a 32B HTC Magic from Vodafone Spain with a 1.33.0007 SPL. I have been looking arround for a few for info about this SPL and it seems to have small amout of info about it.
I guess this is a perfect SPL, but its not listed in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
This SPL does not allow to flash it using the fastboot method, a "remote: not allow" error, making it more difficult to make some hacking, such as changing the splash screen.
Even though, I was able to change the recovery image and flash some roms using the "one click method" with no problems.
Now, I am thinking of changing this SPL using the recovery image that I already have installed, its the recovery-RAv1.2.1G, so I can use the fastboot method to make some hacking, such as change the damn splash screen.
The problem is that there are a few SPLs, and I don't know which one is the most appropriate to my phone and has less chances of brick the phone.
Here are some more details of the phone:
SAPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Using the "recovery-RAv1.2.1G" recovery image and the "Smartphone France ROM by spfrance - Based on HTC Magic, dedicated for European users" rom.
On the other thread, the user robotician suggested to use the 'Engineering SPL 1.33.2005', is this SPL safe on my phone. Has anyone with a phone like mine flashed this SPL?
Can any one give me a help here?

1.33.2005 use it

Thanks, I guess I will use the 1.33.2005
I have some USB problems, since I can't connect to the PC to use ADB or mass storage device. Already tried Windows and Linux with no luck.
Could a SPL install solve the problem?

I locked your FIRST thread and left a message on what you should do.
You actually start a second thread???
Open one more thread in the wrong section and you will be taking a 5-day vacation to Bannville.

Problem flashing UK Vodafone HTC Magic....

I'm following the HTC Magic CyanogenMod install Wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod) but I cant get the first part to work I've downloaded the sappimg.nbh file and copied onto the sd card and booted the phone into safemode? (the bit with the skateboarding droids...) and I can get to step 5 but trying to flash the image gives me the error:

As I've said It's a United Kingdom HTC Magic from Vodafone which are 32B devices
Thanks in advance!

aren't vodafone unlocked anyway

Sorry I should of phrased that better I just want to load the Cyanogenmod on the phone but the wiki says that I need to downgrade from donut to cupcake to be able to flash it with the custom firmware
sorry for the badly worded post I'm a relative newbie to the whole android thing

Had a look round the forum and there's a lot of talk about perfected spl's? dunno what that is but the info on the skateboard scrteen is as follows:

i have the same problem...
i cant do enything... dont see my device but when i put in CMD - adb devices then the pc seeing my phone and see the serial number
this phones with UNKNOWN 32B from vodafone cant flash root or enything you must have the GOLDCARD settings to your sd card
and then you can flash an other RADIO and then you can put the recovery and the roms
i sittin here with my magic on the 1.6 Android
and want a hero rom
hope you cvan do this....my englische is not so good and cant do enything to get it work

I take it no one has achieved this yet, I to am looking to root my UK Vodafone magic with a SPL 1.33.0007 but it seems no one has quite cracked it yet. Or that is the impression I get from reading threads here about the "perfected SPL".

The perfected spl is rootable ... here are a few links for you:

Thanks Stokes I shall give them a try.....

I have the UK Vodafone HTC Magic, after hours of browsing i found the answer
forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=15656486&postcount=3058
note. that guide links to the last release of cyanogen, this is the new release
n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.13-signed.zip
after the step where it says
"• Now you can reboot into Cyanogen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
i didnt install cyanogen recovery. i installed amon'ra, this is how you do that
get amon' ra recovery image from
androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

Hi all,
I had problems following the Cyanogen wiki the other night, some grerat guys in freenode IRC on #cyangoen helped me manage it, a few incorrect instructions.
Im not using the perfect SPL or whatever but I managed to root & put on the latest cyanogen release.
Hit me up if you want some tips.

How to root PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H; HBOOT-1.76.2007?

Hi guys! just brought a G2 fews days ago.Here is my G2 status :
PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H;(SAPP10000)
HBOOT-1.76.2007
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
O.S. 1.5 cupcake + UI Sense (i dont needed)
Its seems up to now there is no solution to root the machine after i read tremendous articles.
The is no difference between bricked and unrooted magic coz too many restriction applied.
I am so disappointed with my Gphone..coz its not a convenient phone for everyone which somehow i think WM is much better...at least you dont have to go through a complex procedure to gain higher acess right which i belonged to..
Anyone know how to rooted this crap? Please tell me with many thanks !

Don't post messy thread!!! If you don't understand process of flashing, you will probably kill your phone.
Read forum, try to get more patience.
After all, you can simply flash any ROM with tag [radio 6.35] - CursorSense, Gyd [6.35] or other... they are with root

OHow can you flash any Rom when security status is on ?
S-on .pls tell me!? Others said h-boot 1.76 version is a prefect spl. I just wonder you can flash any Rom sucessfully

You must be kidding!
You wrote that you have HBOOT-1.76.2007 which is an engineering SPL with S-OFF (it's even written on the first line of the fastboot info you provided). The one people have problems with is 1.76.0007 which is a perfected SPL. You should read more carefully next time.
You can already do everything you want with this phone and I'd be surprised if you didn't have root access already as the installed system is probably Cursorsense (this is only a guess but it's been the only one able to run on this Radio version until recently). I'd also bet there's already a custom Recovery on it (boot the phone holding home+power to check that).
With this setup you can flash any ROM that is compatible with the 6.35 Radio but you can also revert to an older Radio/SPL combo if you need to.
Check the main thread about this setup. It also explains the downgrading procedure. Check the wiki if you need more basic knowledge before proceeding.

lol .. ur phone is already root enabled ( u likely have bought a used phone )
just flash the proper recovery and rom and ur done
this is the recovery guide from curserdroid's thread :
Custom Recovery RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2
Mounts SD card immediately, based on RA-Sapphire-v1.5.2H
Highly recommended!
Flash through FASTBOOT
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img
fastboot oem powerdown

Retarded. How shameful the newbie asking the questions without looking between 1.76.0007 (Perfected SPL) and 1.76.2007 (Engineering SPL)

The 1st thread i mentioned my phone status is incorrect(mistake). truly sorry about that.

Can anyone pls tell me how to root this phone ??
Please...give me some hint...coz i dont to want to sell it to buy i-phone.
some android application is very useful and handy..all i need is to rooted the phone in order to run those application.
Please dont be upset an angry and accept my apology of the incorrect information i provided.

For now there is no way to change the 1.76.0007 perfected SPL and so you can' t gain root privileges. You' ll have to wait until a newer ROM version is released from HTC, in order to use the goldcard method to change your perfected SPL. Or until someone finds an exploit for the particular SPL.

Hi, take a look at post #45 on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610496&page=5
I was in your exact same position and it took me four or five weeks to find a solution – I did read that one of the rooting guides on the cyanogen wiki did work, but I know that I had the same HBoot details as you.
You will need to get another SD Card to make a GoldCard there are a lot of steps to follow but it is worth it – just make sure you follow the GoldCard instructions closely

solution
after many many hours searching i find solution!
i root it without Goldcard method or flashing SPL.
for those with same SPL as me i found right sappimg.img that works with my SPL verison.I chose tutorial at unlockerz "How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!" now you can make cupcake 1.5 without "wrong Main Versio" or "Wrong Model ID…" i use unlockerz tutorial to cupcake..those 6 steps.
becouse im newbie at this forum rulez dont let me post link of those file.Nme of that file is "vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh" try google it or PM me i can send link by PM.
im happy to done it without any risk of phone.
big thx spences10 for helping me!!!
