nice post, this should be really helpful for those without the required radio for cotulla's roms

This is maybe really helpful, nice thread for Magician radio roms collection

Flash 1.13.00 rom To Cotulla's ROM
ok, yesterday i had some free time so i decided to see what happens if i flash radio 1.13.00 on Cotulla's 3.06.00 WWE? why he decided that its no good for his rom?
so i took a radio 1.13.00 and change header so that rom "see" some other version (i changed it to 1.12.13 ), and i did that... after a flashing i see no change bt on-off works almost every time, flight mode sometimes works sometime not
reception was same, battery drain also the same, sms works, gprs not tested...
if you want to try for yourself, here is how you can:
1. Download Radio 1.13.00 from first post and extract
2. Download some hex editor and open radio_.nbf
3. Locate and change bytes
#1. 13 0D 35 34 and change to 12 0D 34 37 (start offset 0x0000002b)
#2. 46 34 65 17 16 34 67 11 change to 12 37 66 16 42 66 3D 16 (start offset 0x00000078)

First patch corrects version, other fix checksum
4. save radio_.nbf, go to Bootloader and flash your phone
you may notice version change
5. Enjoy radio 1.13.00 on Cotulla roms
or download mine already modded version

and im not responsible to any damage made by this radio roms
use at your own risk (i have flashed and still using this )
If you want to go back to old radio rom, download from first post and reflash your radio!

is there any advantage upgrading to 1.13?

hello

I'm really fighting an urge to just upgrade because it has a higher number.
I need to hard reset making it a good time to upgrade radio but I also want to wait for G10 before Hard resetting. Torn right now.

hi guys I tried radio 1.13 on Cotulla's O5 before (I flashed it before flashing Cotulla's ROM), 1 very prominent problem - call being cut off after 1 minute mark, randomly... I have yet to confirm the reason, but the ROM is highly suspicious... currently trying 1.12.1

I think if you upgrade Cotulla's rom with a phone that has radio 1.13 it won't work? It will complain version difference.
This hex-edit method is the first solution so far I see. And also Cotulla's web site says the rom needs 1.12 or 3.00+. I haven't seen 3.00+ rom around...?
Well, the current radio 1.12 has two problems for me.
(1) Bluetooth will auto off after soft reset (it says it's on but it's not. I need to turn it off and on afterwards to make my hardsfree connect)
(2) Call waiting needs to press "hold" button to take, and by the way, the phone thinks that you have missed a call and the original call at hold. Re-hold will get back the first line. By the way, after the first line hung up your second incoming line will be gone as well.
So do you all experience the same problem or is there any solution to my problems with the new 1.13 rom I would be glad to know.
Cheers,
Phil

You are not alone.
I am also waiting for a good G10 before my hard reset.
Actually I think a lot of us are waiting.

[ROM][32A] CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1 - NOW CM UPDATER FRIENDLY! [01-30-10]

CursorSense 32A
This ROM just keeps getting better and better! This has turned out to be a lot of fun!
This is a 1.5 Cupcake Sense UI ROM based on the official 3.05 Rogers HTC RUU for people who need a stable ROM with all the features working.
If you enjoy my work, and appreciate the time spent, please consider a donation!
ENJOY!
Thanks goes to:
- Amon_RA for the Hero recovery
- MoDaCo for finding the 1.76.2007 SPL for Hero that works on Magic too.
- Teknologist for the new kernel that I'm using (DAMN!!! This is fast!)
- MLIGN for the framework-res.apk from MLIGN v3.3 (Nice battery icons!)
- Many more as well, please let me know if I've used part of your work and have not credited you. I'm not here to make enemies.
** YOU MUST HAVE RADIO 6.35.07.29 OR HIGHER AND SPL 1.76.2007 ENG BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. THIS ROM CANNOT BE FLASHED ON A DEVICE WITH PERFECTED SPL 1.76.0007!
** MAKE SURE YOU ARE 100% SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE RADIO UPDATED TO 6.35.07.29 OR HIGHER BEFORE APPLYING THE NEW SPL!!!!
** DO NOT APPLY THESE UPDATES TO A 32B MAGIC/SAPPHIRE OR A HTC DREAM/G1. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!
Because of the size of the /system partition, this ROM will not flash onto any Sapphire 32A with the 1.33.20XX Eng SPL.
You will need to have the 6.35 radio and 1.76.2007 SPL, and the Hero (not Magic/Sapphire) Recovery from Amon_RA to flash this ROM. Follow the directions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239 to flash the new radio, SPL and recovery.
Once you have the new SPL, Radio and Recovery, then you can apply CursorSense32A like any other ROM update.zip file.
If you don't know what I'm talking about here, please do not attempt to flash this ROM, or change your radio/SPL/recovery. Actually, if you don't already have an Eng SPL 1.33, this ROM is not for you.

(1) Yes, I'm running this radio on my Rogers 3G right now. (850/1900)
(2) This SPL can only be flashed over 1.33.20xx. Make sure you do it in the right order by following the instructions in the post.
(3) You would need to revert back to your 3.22.20.17 radio and 1.33.2005 SPL. This is easy though.
If you like the Sense UI and widgets and want a fast and incredibly stable ROM, this is the one to use!
THX! jus what I needed to hear when reverting back to 2005 spl and 3.22.20.17 radio do I have to use goldcard or can I jus flash over with amons recovery?
I'd like to try out this rom but I really don't know about radio and SPL
So this is my situation:
HBOOT -1.33.0008 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Untill now I've tryed every rom I could... So help me out
Thanks

Even though these instructions are for flashing to 32A radio from 32B radio, they work the same for downgrading from the 6.35 radio to the 3.22 radio.

ive never flashed my spl or radio..how can i find out which version i have?
im running mygd's senseui rom..do you think its worth an upgrade?
edit: your links seem to have a very strict limit. if its not much trouble do you mind uploading them on a mirror?
I use a European unbranded HTC Magic 32A with support for 900/2100 MHz 3G bands, but not for the Rogers/AT&T 850/1900 Mhz bands. Will the radio work on my phone? Wouldn't want to brick it....

the radio.img doesn't control the actual frequencies that the phone uses. That's controlled through what type of hardware antenna is in the phone.
This radio.img is safe to flash for any 32A.

I'm on limited bandwidth, so I can't mirror these.
RapidShare can be annoying at times, but stick with it, you'll get the files downloaded.
its working now, all i needed was a little patience.
since ive been flashing my phone a lot lately to find a decent rom, my phone is pretty much fresh..so i dont mind flashing again..
ill test this and get back to you..ahhh i hope i dont brick it..this will be my first time updating the radio and spl
rooted?
Language included Chinese?
Sorry, my English is very poor。

well,you have to install a software called "more local"
it contains Chinese language.
well, change HTC-CIME to HTC-IMC is not good for chinese user, but we can install other Chinese input software.

ok back..
i was able to flash the SPL and the ROM..while the radio and boot both gave me a signature verification fail..
however, i was going through a bootloop since the radio isnt there..so i just flashed it back to the old rom i was using..
EDIT: i tried to flash the radio again through fastboot..right now its saying "writing 'radio'..."
its been like that for a few minutes..anything wrong?
EDIT 2: uhm..still same msg ..and for the phone, the screen is still black with the light on. could this be due to having the spl already updated before the radio?
EDIT 3: everything is okay now..will get back to you after going through the rom for a day or so..THANKS!!
EDIT 4: noticed theres not much free space on the phone..might wanna remove useless stock apps for your final release.

the thing is im sitting on 30mb of free ram (but i do have a lot of programs open, most of which are auto-start..not sure if theyre important or not so i dont wanna remove anything) and i have 90mb free space..yet its still smooth..
one thing id like to see is the transparent lockscreen. it can be added on your own if youd like. im going to try to do that right now

Rooting the SPL 1.76.0009

Hey everyone..
U need to thank Orange_24 for this..
It took me a WHILE (3 hours of seaching intense) to find out how to root the 1.76.0009 so i thought i would make a new thread to help people .. but i found it deep in a forum in here
RUU:

THIS METHOD WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE! Proceed at your own risk!
1. Download RUU linked above.
2. Install update using RUU.
3. Turn on phone and connect to computer.
4. Get RA recovery and SPL also linked above and drop them to sdcard root directory.
5. Run SDK: adb shell
6. Install recovery: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
6. Turn off phone and turn on again holding Power+Home. RA Recovery should appear.
7. Flash zip from sdcard.
8. Use file: update-hboot-1762007-signed
9. Done. PSPL broken.
10. Build a shrine for orange_24
I did this to mine and it worked ..
Bowing before the community
EDIT:
since many people have problems with windows 7 an windows 7 x64 i will thank the LayZeeDK for writing this so i dont have to ..
First install HTC Sync. Then try these drivers: http://www.multiupload.com/RJRAYM75A2
Start > Devices and Printers > Right click 'Android Phone' > Properties > Click 'Hardware' tab > Press the one with 'Disk drives' type > Properties > Update Driver... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk... > Pres 'Browse...' > Browse to the drivers in the folder 'Vista_x64' to which I linked above e.g. 'C:\Users\Lars\Desktop\Vista_x64' > OK > Choose 'My HTC' or whatever it shows
Seems that the drivers in Vista_x64 worked for USB/Sync/RUU connection and the drivers in USB_MODEM_VISTA works for ADB connection. ADB is changed through Device Manager (Right Click 'Computer' > Manage > Device Manager).
TO ROGERS
mbk.2k3 wrote this so all credit goes to him! ..
to help the rogers folks: i had updated using the official Rogers update and thought i was stuck with the perfected SPL
I used the following method to get back my root (http://rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com...htc-magic.html).
follow every step carefully.
then i downgraded radio and got an engineering SPL on using the following method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239)
i used adb shell heavily. it was daunting at first but once i got into it, it was smooth sailing and you build your confidence quickly (good for noobs like us)
will this get signature off so that i may use fastboot commands?
..
if u cant use fastboot commands it means you have a perfected SPL
this will root and and change SPL to an Engineers SPL
with an Engineer's SPL there will be no limitations
ah because i found people wich said that had a rooted phone with a sPL like the Eng but had Sig off. I already found some issues of some people here in XDA wich had that problem. It would be nice to encounter a solution for that.
..
i don't exactly know what u mean but this certainly works.. an i have used fastboot several times with it
How about for HBOOT-1.76.0007?

You are doing something wrong.
This works, I did it on a friend's 32A that had the 1.76.0009 perfected SPL a few days ago. This info was taken from the first post of the huge thread of people trying out methods for rooting the 1.76.0009 SPL. Good idea making a new thread, that last one was a clusterfuck and the first post had missing links lol.
BTW, you didn't need a goldcard for this? I went through the trouble of making a goldcard because the old thread's instructions included making a goldcard. That coulda saved me a bit of time, lol. And I used Cursordroid's custom 32A recovery image, so this method works with that recovery as well.
Also, typo: "Engeeneers SPL 1.76.0007" should be "Engineer's SPL 1.76.2007"

This is not the way to breaking the SPL for all Countries - just in case.
I guys Im from Australia and I accidentally update my magic to the 3.05.861.2 rom which had the perfected 1.76.0008 SPL im am happy to say that this method actually root the spl which in favour lets you go back to either 1.33.2010 or 1.76.2007 whichever you prefer
glad that you found my thread then ^^..
yea.. but i dont know why u should go back to the 1.33?
1.76 are for the new rom's
^^ your right its better to stay on 1.76.2007 but i decided to try out CyanogenMod CM5.0.7 and i'm loving it

yea you are right. CyanogenMod are some very good roms. but when he removed market from his newer roms i went over and found some other roms
Rogers
The Rogers update uses this perfected SPL correct? If so glad that a workaround has been found finally.
Question though: can I go back and forth freely? ie. if i follow the steps, root my phone, try a new ROM, and later want to go back to the Rogers update.
Thanks in advance!

HTC Magic , bricked, known solution?

Hello everyone. I need some assistance since i've tried everything and nothing is beeing possible. I've got a friend with a phone , he run the oficial HTC Magic Vodafone update, and happened that the system blocked at the update of system.img.
It had before acccording to the owner HTC RUU 1.88.531 Vodafone Edition (Do you know where i can find this RUU? )
Appeared this image:

I tried to root with orange root method, but doesnt let pass the system.img
i tried to reflash, doesnt pass the system.img
Tried to downgrade rom, doesnt get past the system.img.
Tried in fastboot (not possible perfect SPL)
Tried a ROM of another country same brand. Not possible either.
Doesnt let me flash from Hboot on SD card either. (Havent tried goldcard method yet)
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Far as 'brick' its not a true brick until you can no longer get into fastboot and also can't get into recovery. But far as RUU, not sure never had to deal with that, was it originally a vodaphone?
Exact details on what the device originally was may help, as opposed to trying everything in sight and risking actually creating a real brick.
I might be wrong, but that looks like an HTC Magic prototype.

According info at screen can you post image when you use fastboot commands
Try download Amon_RA recovery last version for 32A magics
go to fastboot-mode (Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power)
run:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img - last version of Amon RA recovery H (H = 32A)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403
A bunch of RUU's.
Doenst let me flash hboot but i'll try flash recovery again. I'll ask my friend to try this, but i remembered to he try go into the android recovery mode, when he presses home+power, it appears this screen. But we'll try again =p
Accoridng to my friend , he bought this phone to another person. I can provide anything you might need to help analyse, such as SN etc.
He said this was a Vodafone Magic from Portugal, a 32A. (I personaly ever saw a DVT 32A , only 32B, and in my opinion he flashed wrong ROM beside of letting beeing flashed when goes to flash the system.img it gives an error saying isnt possible to writte).
I tried to download from the RUU list 3 Roms, none of them worked, all gave id error. I tried from HTC portugal, there are 2 situations:
1) flashing a 3.405xx , he flashes Hboot, radio, but at system, he gives error
2) Flashing a 2.3xx rom , he flashes System.img and stays there at 0 %
3)Flashing a 1.88.xx ROM he stays at 0 %
I was considering a brick .. but i'll wait your opinion thank you for this wonderfull assistance
I have exactly the same problem and I2m also stuck in the RUU screen. Moreover I also tried the goldcard method and it doesn't work either. I guess there is no solution yet for this problem. I even suggested 50 USD donation but still no solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682444. This is my thread if there is a solution you may see there.
This usually happens when a 32B is flashed with the 1.76 SPL. Has been posted numerous times.
JTAG fixes this
Wrong forum by the way
one question, i know is possible to convert 32 A to 32B but not 32 B to 32A. But in wich conditions does this change the name in the bootload? Thank you
I had a similar heart stopping situation. I used a euro RUU (I'm on a Canadian Magic) with a gold card to fix it. From there I could root and flash back to what I wanted. Choose your RUU carefully and you can get it back.
thank you for your help i'll try this method tomorow Great support as always!

What exactly error did you have?
Note: If you are using RUU, it is creating log on computer (i forgot folder-name, something with ruu)
the phone is not mine i have to check once i'm with him. If creates a log, do you know wich folder is in?

I would love to know how to fix this too. Im in the exact same boat and everything. I know this is an old thread but seems this is the only person who has the same problem as me. Has there been a fix yet? Lets keep this alive and figure out how to fix this.
This morning I experienced the same thing, looking like a picture that you upload.
My solution is to install again via the PC with the correct RUU for your devices and my magic WORKED again..
you must be know your the correct RUU for your device

What kind of phone do you have? Is it a 32A, 32B or does it have a 3,5mm audio jack on top? Please post your fastboot info here!
Go to http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sapphire/ and find the right RUU for your phone. Check if the RUU is for your phone! There's a thread on this forum explaining which ROM is for which phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403
It might also be a good idea NOT to use a goldcard, so that you don't install the wrong one.
I have a mt3g with the 3.5mm jack and ive pretty much tried every RUU under the sun and nothing seems to make any head way. It keeps saying model ID error, and nothing ever starts loading. It will load the RUU onto the phone but dosent unpack anything
And everytime i try to do a fastboot boot of the RUU.zip it just stays there and says booting and nothing happens. It will show the green bar on the side of the phone when it loads and then nothing.

Oh, there's your problem: you're using the new radio (6.35) on a device that only works with the 32B one No wonder it won't boot!
Borrow a friend's phone, make a goldcard and follow the tutorial at http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
Without a goldcard I'm afraid you're pretty much stuck, sorry!
Bonus points: make a goldcard and use a RUU that's actually made for your phone to fix it Find the right RUU at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 under "T-Mobile myTouch 3G 1.2". This will take you back to the stock ROM, unrooting your phone.
So is the phone i need to make a gold card on just need to be running the android system or does it need to be an HTC or the exact same phone. I got a buddy with a moto backflip on at&t , wonder if i can do it on his

Vodafone UK HTC MAGIC Android 2.2.1 UPDATED Using Official AOSP 2.2 OTA Update

UPDATE : ISSUED YESTERDAY , i think i put the pressure on VodaFone in UK Forum HAHA http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Magic/Vodafone-UK-HTC-MAGIC-Android-2-2-1-UPDATED/td-p/513125/page/2
Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) is now available to Vodafone HTC Magic customers
Android 2.2.1 will give customers a number of improvements including: latest Gmail and Android Market clients; ability to save applications directly onto an SD card; support for USB tethering so the phone can be used as a modem; improved support for Active Sync Exchange (email, contacts and calendar sync); enhancements to Bluetooth; and enhancements to the camera. The update also includes the latest Google security patches.
How will customers get the latest software?
Customers' devices will receive an automatic notification when the update is available for their handset. They can then choose to accept the update by following the on screen prompts or perform it later.
The roll out of the software is phased, so not all customers will receive this notification at once.
Because it is quite a large update, we’d recommend customers carry it out over WiFi, although it is possible to download it over 3G or GPRS.
The update is a two step download which will be triggered by automatic notification to the customer's handset. The first step will change the bootloader. The second step will install FroYo after the phone has rebooted.
Checking software versions
To check which version of software the HTC Magic has:
1. Press the menu key, then touch "Settings", scroll down to and touch "About phone"
2. The software version will be displayed here

Good for you.
EVERYONE already knows that a 32b magic could be updated to 2.2 because it is already stated so on page 1 of the 'official 2.2' thread! The fact that this is a UK Vodafone doesn't matter for on bit as it is a 32b, and so could be updated by anyone which had looked through de thread weeks ago!!
Great that you brought UK Vodafone updates to everyones attention, but like I said before, it's NOTHING new!!
if i have a stock soft rooted (universal androot) magic from vodafone, do i need to flash all those thinkgs before flashing the 2.2.1 official update???

Yes, as you need recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img installed via an engeneers SPL so you can do a Nandroid backup incase you want to go back or mess things up and as it complain's about signature, so you need to have engineers SPL so you can downgrade to the My Touch 3G DONUT OTA also
