I have my phone rooted, should i flash the rom first, then hard spl then radio?
Have you tried a wipe
As far as I am aware there is only the 1.33.2005 spl floating around in the magic forums. Do not flash the hard spl onto a mytouch. It will brick it. If you must flash an spl, flash the one from the rooting the mytouch thread. Just flash your rom.
Please post all further MyTouch/Sapphire/Magic questions in this forum, thanks!

This might be a dumb question and these might be the cause of all my FC's and lag. But when I see "require updated spl" does that mean update my HBOOT?
My current HBOOT is " HBOOT-1.33.0006" Am i out of date?
My stats are below.................

Yes especialy when you go for a 2.1 version.
You need:
- 1.76.xxxx Engineering spl (ie: 1.76.2007)
- 6.35.10.xxx Radio (ie: 6.35.10.18)

NOOOOOO! He's on a 32B board, you're on a 32A board. You just instructed him to flash an SPL and radio for a 32A. IGNORE THIS! You DO NOT need a new SPL, stay with what you have! You have more than enough internal ROM to flash just about any custom rom to your phone. Unless specifically instructed to flash a specific SPL for a specific ROM for the MT3G, then don't flash a new SPL. Most roms based off of 1.6 will only require that you do a full wipe in recovery and flash the custom rom. However, the majority of eclair roms will require you to partition your SD card. But you DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT need a new SPL.
Oopsy lol my bad... totatly missed the 32B.
thanks for catching it.
but what if the rom requires you to have flash a new spl?? like I see alot of roms require the danger spl... and if i flash a radio and then the danger spl can i keep the danger spl and upgrade to 2.22.23.02 or do i have to keep the same radio??
@mizzel16
Check out the thread I started... I haven't done any of the other roms yet that say they need the Danger SPL... but from the answers I got, it looks like Magic phones don't need it.
I did the radio a few weeks ago tho, and that went smoothly without a hitch.
hi dudes
i flashed 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL for some sense mod
but now im bored by it and wanted to return to CM
now nomatter how i try i just cant get it to work, after installing the rom it would get stuck at the opening scene
is it that magic with 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL just cant use CM?
thanks

It's the Radio that's giving you grief. Cyanogen will not run on 6.35.x radio. I've been down that road already.
What I ended up doing was reapplying the Rogers RUU from last July and then rooting from there. I'm now running CM 5.0.7 Test 3 and I'm using the radio that was installed on the Dream with the mandatory E911 update. So far it's been 7 hours and my data hasn't been cut yet. Fingers crossed.
If you want to keep that SPL and Radio combo, I've seen mentions of cursordroid as a Rom that will run on it. I'm using SPL 1.33.2005 with Radio 3.22.26.17
I did this on an HTC Magic from Rogers that uses an EBI1 radio, if your phone uses the EBI0 radio don't try to use the radio that I did. I did also see somewhere on the forum here that one of the members has a batch file for performing the changes between the SPL/Radio combos. You'll have to look around.
thanks man,
Downgraded back to 3.22 Radio and SPL
flashed cm
worked like charm
will a g1/dream 32B rom run on a 32B Magic/Sapphire?
you betcha if you have a 32b you can run roms from the g1 section without port files
and its better sometimes cause you dont have to flash danger spl when you want to flash bigger roms
yey i already have danger spl but im glad they do
thanks guys
Hey guys I've done a lot of searching and have come up with nothing.
I have successfully rooted my girlfriends Magic 32A and it is now running
Radio: 6.35.10.18
SPL: 1.76.2007
I would like to flash Cyanogen RC2 to the phone but when I try it has an error saying (Type 7) or something at the bottom and just before that it says stuff about H-Boot 1.36 or something similar which I realise is a different version to what I am currently running.
Does Cyanogen not work with the specifications I have? and if not then what can I do to get it on my girlfriends Magic?
It's currently running FroyoRiders rom which installed fine but I want her to have a working camera.
Any help would be great, thanks!
*Edit* I have also tried like 5 different recoveries so I'm pretty sure it is not that!
I recently had similar issues on my Rogers Magic with flashing roms, no matter what rom I tried, nothing seemed to want to flash properly until I reverted back to the old radio/spl combo. Once I did that, I've been able to flash whatever rom I want, of course needing a kernel port for some roms to work on the 32a, but it is a whole lot further than no roms at all
The old SPL was perfected and wouldn't allow me to flash roms... Can someone suggest a SPL and Radio combo that work with Cyanogen 32A and perhaps a way to get that SPL/Radio combo?
No, I'm talking older than that. I'm using the old radio with the spl 1.33.2009, I believe that's the one anyway... give me about an hour and I'll point you to the tool I used

Okay thanks, I've got a feeling that you need SPL 1.33.x or something for Cyanogen Rom to install as I have 1.76.x .. However I can't find anything confirming this anywhere. It is safe to downgrade to a 1.33 SPL on a 32A with 6.35.10.18 radio?
Well, for one thing reading the forums would have brought you to the conclusion that new radio and old spl don't play well together. You can only use spl 1.33 with radio 3.22 and spl 1.76 with radio 6.35.
In the sapphire dev forum you'll find a tool to switch radio and spl quickly and safely. Use it to move to the old radio/spl and install whatever rom you want from recovery.

Okay yeah I pretty much gathered that from reading around... What I'm wondering is does Cyanogen actually require the 1.33 spl to install?
Not if you don't need a working camera/camcorder

Ah okay so the other radio is required for the camera drivers. Which would explain why it doesn't work on this FroyoRider rom then I take it?
Thanks for your help. I'll try use this Radio Switcher to go to the other version then flash Cyanogen RC2
*Edit* Just to make sure, does using the "Flash Default SPL, Radio, Recovery" on Radio Switcher get me to the right 1.33 version? Or do I need to find the custom files somewhere?
Open the latest version of the tool (3.5 I think) and click flash old with your phone in fastboot and connected to your pc. All the files you need are included in the archive.
I also had this issue trying to flash RC2 on my Rogers Magic.
Please be aware that if we flash the old radio Rogers will block data.
Is there any way to keep the new radio and get around this flashing issue? I'd love to try CM6 but not without data!
I'm happy to provide any logs or whatever.
Confused about flashing SPLs. Never flashed one before. The radio I have installed is the myTouch-radio-2_22_23_02 and I want to flash the Danger SPL but are they compatible. Moreover, I've see and heard different tutorials about the subject. Some say when flashing a new spl wipe/flash radio first, then wipe/flash radio, then partition sd card, finally flash rom. Some say just wipe/flash the new spl w/out then rom. Which one is it? I already have the radio installed that I want to use, so do I have to flash it again to flash a new spl?
Phone: MT3G (32B)
Radio: 2_22_23_02
SPL: 1.33.0006
ROM: Gingerfly 1.7 D/S ADS
Android: 2.2.1
The new/old radio and SPL talk is for the 32A - the Magic sold in Canada, Brazil and some parts of Europe. You shouldn't worry about that.
You can flash the SPL and you're done.
Thanks I'll give it a shot
