Flash radio with Rogers??? - G1 General

My details atm are radio: 3.22.20.17 and HBOOT-1.33.0009 (DREA21000)
I wanted cyn's rom so i followed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
if i have a complete stock 32b dream should just following that guide without doing none else first work?

I've seen people who flash Cyanogen with a roger's radio. I am not sure if they did anything different. You could always try to just flash it like it is in the wiki. Worse thing that you can do more than likely is just have to do a nandroid backup.

How to fix 32a with Perfect SPL

Dear xda developers.¨
Recently I updated my Nordic HTC Magic with an official update on HTC's site.
Before I had the update I had the HBOOT-1.3300.0009 (SAPP10000) SPL. I loved and had tried many Hero ROMs and even cyanogens mod. But then I restored my Nandroid backup and wiped the phone to install the official update...
After I updated the phone I now had the HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000) SPL which is also known as perfect SPL....
Is there anyway to revert back to my old SPL? Or do I have to install one of Amon_Ra's Engineering SPL?
If I have to install one of the Engineering SPL's is there anyway to "restore" when HTC sends out an officially 1.6 android or cant I go back when i first go for it?
Oh and can anyone also post a method to get custom ROMs up again on the 32a with perfect SPL... It seems that all the tutorials I found in the search was for the 32b device...
Bump... I really need to know this...
Bump... I REALLY wish to know how to bypass perfect SPL for 32a and how to make it "normal" later on.....
would be nice if someone could share this information with us since i have the same problem!

Why not just try any spl you want by flashing it as an update zip or any zip file..?.
If I have to install one of the Engineering SPL's is there anyway to "restore" when HTC sends out an officially 1.6 android or cant I go back when i first go for it? Why would you want to ??

There are quite a few Hero roms for the 32a

Engineering SPL & Radio Question

Hey guys, i have a rooted 32A HTC magic, and am running "KiNgxKxlick AOSP 2.1" which is a 2.1 Rom with SenseUI.
However, i have never updated my radio or added and Engineering SPL, since buying the phone, ie this is completely stock.
my phones details are
SAPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
I wanted to run a newer faster rom, like the new Eris Dump for the HTC magic.
This specifies a new radio 6.35, so do i need to update to a new Engineering SPL, and the latest radio, or is this included?
Should i upgrade to 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL using the cursordroid guide?
if other wise, please let me know what i should do.
(btw I couldnt post URL's to show what i was talking about asmy acount doesnt let me post URL's yet)
Thanks in Advance
Follow cursor's guide, you already have the proper setup to flash to the new radio and hboots, since you already have an engineering SPL (1.33.2010 with S-OFF).
Make sure to follow the guide exactly, otherwise you could brick your phone. You will need to know how to use fastboot. I've flashed back and fourth 4 or 5 times now between new and old radio testing roms, its a cakewalk if you follow the guide.

Why does my 32B think it's a 32A?

Continuation from my last post, I recently got a replacement 32B, and it came with the 1.6 donut on it. I used the gold card method to root it, and when I went to flash Amon Ra Recovery, the 32B version wouldn't flash, but the 32A would. I've got Open Eclair for 32A on it now, and I suppose that's fine, everything works, I'm just curious as to why it only wants 32A stuff.
Things I imagine you need to know:
32B MyTouch 3g (1.0, no 3.5mm jack)
SPL says 1.33.2005
radio is 3.22.20.17
Any help would be appreciated greatly!
32A radio
Ummm it might b bcuz u have a 32A radio???
Okay, that would make sense. I'll research flashing the radio and I'll be back if I have any issues after that.

You probably had to flash your phone with a 32A because you had a perfected SPL. The next step would be to revert your phone back to a 32B. Follow the steps in this thread.

Neat! Thank you!

Question about the need to upgrade SPL & Radio

I have a 32b with
SPL: HBOOT-1.33.0004
RADIO: 2.22.19.26I
I saw several opportunities to upgrade either spl or radio or both. But I don't see why I would need to do that. Does it bring along extended capacity? Speed? Anything else? Or is it just about compatibility with some ROM?
Which SPL and RADIO would you recommend now for FROYO?

Good Question. I was thinking about the same thing...
I have the same question. Does having the newer radio improve anything?
Right now I am running CM6 with Pershoot's latest kernel.
I used the Universal Androot to root it and Rom Manager to install the rest.
Here is what I have for SPL & Radio
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02

Any advice?
Well, I'm not expert in these things,
but as far as i know, with a newer Radio you will get a better reception and signal quality,
plus there is some Rom are cook to work with specific Radios,
and about the SPL, you need to have and Eng-SPL with S-OFF,
in case if you messed anything up and you messed the recovery menu as well (as some people did)
the Eng-SPL will save your life
so, long story short, you can't brick your phone if you have an Eng-SPL/S-OFF
MOD EDIT: STRIKEOUT ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION
Hey there!
A few things you need to know:
1. If it's working just fine, leave it alone.
2.Those with 32B phones should keep their current radio and, at most, upgrade to an engineering SPL to switch security to OFF.
3. Owners of the MyTouch Fender/LE/1.2/whatever-the-hell-it's-called (the one with the 3,5mm audio jack) should NEVER touch their radio and SPL unless they want to brick their phones. You'll have to switch radios/SPLs during rooting, but will need to revert back to stock in order to get it working right.
4. The only ones who can switch between different versions of radio/SPL are those with the 32A (CPLD-12, no audio jack), as a few sense ROMs only run on a specific radio/SPL combo.

By myTouch 1.2/LE, keinengel means you. Don't hangs a thing or you'll either brick your phone or never get a ROM to work.

Pretty much everything that you said here is WRONG!
You don't need an Eng-SPL.
You don't need S-OFF
You can brick your phone with S-OFF/Eng-SPL
Please don't post incorrect information again or you can be banned.
I will be reviewing your future posts. First warning!

[Q] my touch 3g rom problems

so,1st i want to apologize if the answers im seeking were already posted but ive been searching the forum for some time an i could not find exactly what i needed..
here it goes:
i have an htc my touch 3g (t-mobile europe i guess) it came with froyo 2.2.1 but i wanted to instal cumstom roms so after extensive research ive manage to root it..donwgrade to 1.5 ,upgrade to 1.6 with hboot - 1.33.0013d and radio - 2.22.27.08 (sapphire pvt 32B ship s-on G)
now i kinda figured that i cand flash a 2.2 rom on a 1.6 or at least i think i cant..
I managed to get a few 1.6 roms to work(the most stable is dwangs s&s 1.11 stock rom) a few other worked but not that good..
my problem is: what do i need to get back to (at least)2.2
if posible please tell me what exactly i need to use to make it work..what radio/hboot..
sorry again if i was a true noob on my 1st post )

If you have custom recovery (AmonRa 1.7.0 G or ClockworkMod Recovery), then you just need flash gingeryoshi via it, cause your Info already matches with requirements. Wipe data/factory reset before process...
p.s. Custom ROMs contain only system and boot images. It is safe to change custom ROM. Even if you will flash incompatible custom Rom, your phone will not load, but recovery, hboot and radio will remain and you able to flash any other custom ROM.
In very rare cases devs include radio or recovery image in custom ROM, but it is exception. True devs don't do that.
i have RA 1.2.0G if i remember corectly i could not flash the 1.7.0..so why cant i flash the roms with 1.2.0?
just rememberd i tried to flash some time ago cm 6/fy/gy a couple of times and every time i got bootloop..could be because i have ra1.2.0G instead of 1.7.0G ?
come on guys,no one can give me some exact pointers?
Flash official RUU: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
Then get root (via SuperOneClick) and flash custom recovery 1.7.0 G
p.s. Probably, recovery 1.2.0 G has old install-method and not compatible with new format (tags "update script")
