Hi !
i Have a 32A magic from 3 Austria and the only thing i did is Installing the official ROM upgrade (This one, not the newest) so i have perfected SPL .10 and want to install This.
In the thread in states "no need to flash SPL for install" so... what am i supposed to do ? fastboot a recovery IMG flash it and that was it ?
And what is this wipe everybody is speaking of ?
Settings->Memory->Factory Settings ?!
Thanks for your help! Im just overcautios because i dont want to brick my phone and return to LG U250 ....
you have to have your phone rooted. Follow this guide to easily root your phone
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/

Hi,
after reading through all manuals I still have this question.
I own a dutch (one click) rooted vodafone Magic:
PVT 32B CCHP S-on G
Hboot 1.33.0004
Radio 2.22.23.02
RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G
I would like to get rid of te first vodafone bootscreen. I understand that I first have to flash an engineerd SPL. (I'm not allowed to flash a bootscreen with 1.33.0004)
1) Am I correct that I should flash: Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 (or do I need another version)
2) I do this by using "Flash zip from sdcard" in RA recovery
3) Is there a risk of bricking my phone this way
Anything I missed??
Thanks a lot for your help
Eric
Since you have the newest radio you shouldn't brick your phone. Before people used to brick their phones because they didn't have the latest radio for G1's. as long as you have your radio, or the other one ending with I, you should be fine.
Thank you
Flashed it and it works. (didnt have wifi or connection afterwards, but reinstalling a rom fixed that.
Hy there, i'm completely noob, but I was reading this forum for couple of weeks now. I want to root my device and I found really simple guide on Unlockr.com, rooting magic in one click.
So, is this good guide? And when I root my phone, I'm completely lost between so many things (radio, spl...).
This is my phone, HTC Magic (non-branded):
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0009. (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
Please tell me what should I do after rooting (if that rooting procedure is ok), what rom can I install to my device, is there something I must do before installing (or after)?
Please help me! Thanks for your time and answers!
I think the guide "rooting magic in one click" on Unlockr.com is for old radio only (correct me if I'm wrong).
Your phone is running on new radio verion, so I think you can't apply that method to root your phone.
You can use this method (thank to agriff):
Download new RUU
http://www.multiupload.com/XQEH9NVGY7
Flash with Goldcard method http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how...te-a-goldcard/
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 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
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

After rooted phone, you can install any custom ROM for 32A with new radio like: Smoki, CursorSense32A (these ROM with Sense UI, very nice...)
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
hi everybody!
some days ago i flashed my magic (TIM Italy, so 32A) whit the Magic_Rogers3.54.631.3 rom, that was a ruu exe file.
It flashed my spl and radio, that now are hboot-1.76.0010 (SAPP10000) and 6.35.16.19.
Now i wanted to change rom because of the language (i'm not able to put an italian dictionary when i write), but i don't succeed.. i tried to reflash the recovery, but i can't because fastboot says that is not possible to send data to the phone, so i can't also boot some recovery image.. same problem via adb or via terminal on the phone.
i rooted the phone with the last universal androot, but it's the same..
i succeeded to change recovery only with rom manager, but the phone doesn't go in recovery mode (it's still on the "rogers" splash screen), or if it goes, it reboot alone after a few seconds.
oh, at last, i'm not able to flash other rom, like the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver or my original TIM rom.
I'll be really grateful to who will help me!!
thanks for reading!
download this application FlashRec
install it to your device
then download any of Amon_RA recovery imgs (HERE) (Choose the correct one for your device)
then push it to your sdcard
then open the FlashRec and press backup,
then write in the blank box "sdcard/xxxxx.img"
where xxxxx is the name of the img you pushed to your SD
then press flash .. if it is successful, connect your phone to adb
and write "adb shell reboot recovery"
I tried this on 32A 1.33.0010 and Radio 3.22,
I'm NOT 100% sure it will work with you,
try it at your own risk.
it says "phone type is EBI1/32A"
i press backup with or without the name in the box,and the result is
"backup failed: could not run command."
first: this is the false place for this thread. this is for general!
second:
follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
it is not possible to flash or backup with flashrec. the new roms are bugfixed.

me too... but the htc magic 32a with the actual stock rom, android 1.5 with sense form january, is already bugfixed.
Moving to General
sorry for the mistake, i thought it was the right section..
anyway i followed the guide in the post linked by renedlog and.. it worked!!! i didn't know where to put the flash_image file.. but it was written there.. so i did all, and now my rom is the RCMagic 5.0!
do you think it's good to try something different?
i use RCMagic 4.2
the version 5 is still a little buggy with the wake up from standby.
i will upgrade to an android 2.2 rom, if there is an update today for the 32B and hopefully it will be patched to my 32A.
yeah, i saw that bug.. it's really a pity, the rom was a little faster than the 4.2..
i suppose it would not be a big bug, so i hope somebody that is able will fix it!!
are there so big changes beetwen the 2.1 and 2.2?
Hi.
I recently got a Magic so I'm not really into the Radio \ SPL stuff having come from a GT-I9000.
It's currently running CyanogenMod 6, but it's dog slow... (maybe side effect from Galaxy S?) and as such I wanted to go back to the most updated HTC (Generic if possible) or in last case, Vodafone PT / Europe supplied rom, or the most updated official one that can be rooted.
The details of the phone are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33-2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009,17:27:03
Also has AmonRA's RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H recovery flashed as well.
It was bought in Vodafone Portugal (If it has something to do with CID, idk?), tried the ro.cid stuff but nothing appeared with CID in it.
Can a helpful soul please outline the steps and hopefully a link so I don't end up with a brick?
Edit: I've searched the forums and the internet, and to be honest, most answers to "revert to stock" or "unroot" here on XDA have little or no answers, or very vague ones. I found this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/ but again I'm not sure if that's for a 32A or 32B, so I'm afraid of trying it...
I also have ADB and Fastboot working if it helps.
Bump for an answer...
I flashed back my initial nandroid backup, then a SHIP SPL that I extracted from one of the RUUs I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 (mine was 1.33.0010) and then used FlashRec to restore the stock recovery. Cleaned up the SD card and wiped the phone. Easy
What if I don't have a nandroid backup of the original?
Also, can't I use a stock rom but with modified spl and recovery?
Many thanks for your answer, even tho it doesn't help me much.
If you don't have a nandroid you can use the files from this archive: http://www.multiupload.com/ALE01CBNSN
Since you have an ENG SPL, you can extract them and use
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
This will take you back to stock system/kernel/userdata without removing your custom recovery or S-OFF (ENG SPL).
BTW, talking back to those trying to help you is a GREAT way to make sure they keep on trying.
he Everyone
i want to update my spl and radio to 2708
but i dont no which method is the best
through fastboot
recovery
or gui 4.1 program for windows (htc magic develepmont section)
i have htc magic vodafone 32B with recovery 1.7
stock spl stock rom
greetings h4xor1911
Fastboot is the best and safest method.
The GUI is just an interface for fastboot and therefore essentially the same.
Use the new version called Fastboot commander(check my signature).
Good luck

Oh yea, here's the original radio/spl thread, but the directions looked too daunting for me. But you might want to bookmark it for the latest radios and stuff.
