Hi,
I just have a quick question concerning SPL's. I have been reading around and I really don't understand why one would want to change their SPL other than if they have a perfected SPL. I have HBOOT-1.33.0010 on my rooted phone (the rest of my info is below in my signature).
What are the advantages of me getting a later/different SPL?
Thanks in advance.

Short question:
Do I need to update my SPL and the Radio? SPL and the Radio versions mentioned on haykuro's google code website seem to be different than what I have on my phone. Here's the fastboot mode information from my phone (with three skateboarding Androids at the bottom)
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.14.11
Oct 20, 2008
Serial0
Longer Description:
I had the stock G1, followed this awesome tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 to root my phone and installed JF1.42 on my phone. Last night, I decided to try haykuro's 5.0.1Gr2 and ended up with "Build Number: unknown" in the About Phone section and unable to download any apps from the android market (I guess due to the missing keys and proper identification).
And I found that haykuro had a newer version of radio listed on his website and also his own SPL. So, I am wondering... should I upgrade to haykuro's versions? TIA

Here's a good reference for everything related to the haykuro builds:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream__haykuro_Cupcake
Here's the short version, though:
I haven't really looked at the new haykuro SPL, but from the version info you posted, you currently have HardSPL. This is fine - the new SPL isn't required.
As for the radio - it's recommended that you use the radio image meant specifically for the build you are using, in general.
Also, it looks like you've got the RC33 version of the radio, and I personally had no problems using the RC33 radio with the haykuro 5.0.2H build, but others have experienced weird signal problems, so if you start having signal issues, I'd update, otherwise it's just up to you.
Hello,
I am running 5.0.1G (not R2) and only updated the radio from his site.
Mine was running fine on the RC33/RC9 radio, but heard battery life was better with thenewer radio....which it is!
I have not changed the SPL, still running the original Hard SPL and it works fine.
Thanks for the quick responses guys. I will update the Radio then and leave the SPL alone, for now .
I have a question about SPL, maybe a noob's one, so please forgive me.
According to what I have read so far, u must have the latest Radio in order to avoid bricking your phone when updating to the Haykuro's SPL. My baseband version is 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I, not exactly the same as the one posted on Haykuro's page, which is 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I. Is that a big deal ? I really want to move to Haykuro's SPL or at least another one beside stock's SPL.
Thanks in advance
The haykuro spl or more commonly known around here as the danger spl is only needed if you plan on using or trying a hero rom, for any other rom like jf or cyanogen you can use your stock spl or hard spl. If you do plan on using a hero rom just go to android devolpment section, click on a hero rom and it will have a link to the lastest radio and spl that is needed. Just make sure that you flash the radio first before the spl or u will have a brick
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.
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.
I have an already rooted MT3G 32B been using a Verizon HTC Droid Eris for some time now and things seem a lot more confusing here in the Magic forums with all the 32A/B, MT3G, Fender, headphone jack, and ROMs that are made for the G1. So I just want to be sure that I don't blow anything up.
Current specs:
SPL - 1.33.2005
RADIO - 2.22.19.26I
Here's what I have from searching around a bit:
SPL - Engineering SPL 1.33.2010
RADIO - 2.22.28.25 Is there a recovery .zip flashable version of this radio somewhere? I seem to be unable to search for "radio 2.22.28.25" and come up with results.

I wouldn't mess with the radio. You don't need it.

Thanks I just figured I'd do it if there were an update. Haven't run into any problems flashing radios on my Eris as of yet *cross fingers* I know to check my MD5's every step of the way (after download, on the sd card itself) with that kind of stuff but I'll skip it if there's no real improvements made.
And the 1.33.2010 SPL is the way to go now? I noticed a lot of *OLDER* (pre 2010) threads mentioning the 1.33.2005 SPL as being the one to have in my course of searching for a good ROM.
You are all good... There are no proven benefits of upgrading your spl... leave it as it is.
Dear
Can i update the Radio and spl of my tattoo?
My phone is rooted but still i have s-on.
Please guide me.
You can do that, there is no custom radio/SPL for tattoo so i wouldnt recommend you to do it if you dont have to. To get S-OFF go to http://www.htcdev.com
