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.

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
I'm new to putting custom firmware on the android platform, and I've been looking around, but haven't really found anything that answers a few questions I have about the SPL
What are the advantages of flashing a new SPL?
Does it fix problems with the ROM, or increase functionality/usability?
I have an HTC Magic from Canada on Rogers:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP50000)

RADIO-3.22.20.17
I have loaded on Amon_RA's 1.6.2H Donut Rom, and his Recovery RAv1.2.1H.
Thanks,
Dave
No advantage to changing the SPL.
It is the "software program loader", as long as it does that and allows you to flash "alternate" ROMs you are in business.
It is also one of the things that messing with, and breaking, can brick your phone. Only worth doing if you have a "perfect" SPL which will not allow anything other than official carrier updates.

Your stuck,.. this perfected spl is still unrootable. You'll have to wait and pray that the new 2.1 update from Rogers will offer a rootable spl. Rogers has meet some end-user to talk about the Android issues and what we the customers want from them for our android.

Who said there aren't any custom roms for this! Oh there are plenty of roms for this. I suggest you do some research and maybe you'll understand things a bit more, such as you can't FLASH any roms.

Yes they did manage to make custom rom from the Rogers RUU update BUT your mixing things up.
The HBOOT from the Rogers RUU is a perfected spl. If you flashed your phone with that RUU your screwed. This spl is not a "engineering" so it won't allow you to boot in recovery or send fastboot command to manipulate it. This particular spl is not affected by some old bug that could make it rootable. Goldcards also does not work on it. Your now stuck on this spl and will not be able to flash ANY custom rom on it. That's why you need to wait for the next Rogers RUU update for 2.1 and that it will have a engineering spl (or hackable spl) that will allow you to install custom roms. Only engineering spl can allow you to flash a new rom.
so not even with GoldCard???
yups i have tried a lot but Failed
Unless i missed the latest news on this spl no... not even the GoldCard method works on this spl.

There are 2 topics with 40+ pages about this SPL and 1.76.0009. Maybe you should do a search.
yups just checked
but not only two topics
I'm trying to understand the radios for the MyTouch 3g phone.
Now a 32A and 32B have different radios, ones starting with a 3 (32a) others with a 2 (32b).
Now whats the latest for both of them? Does it matter if you're running a 32a radio on a 32b?
Also how does the SPL interact with the radio? For instance, I use the gold card and flash 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL onto a mytouch3g and converts it to a 32a device (H in SPL, and 3.xx.xx.xx radio), would I be ok with putting a 32b radio back on or does a 32b radio require the 1.33.2005 SPL?
Hello. Yes, theoricly you can flash any radeio but even you must be careful with the radios you flash, if you flash a 32A radio on a 32B you'll get a much slower phone, vice versa, you'll brick your phone. Use as rule update only IF really necessary for the rom to work and beeing stable to use.
According to your question the last radios for each are:3.22.20.17 (32A edition if you are using stock rom wich requires Hboot 1.33.xxxx) ; 6.35.10.18 (32A edition if you are using Hboot 1.72.xxxx); 2.22.19.26 (32B Edition if you are using Hboot 1.33.xxxx)
Everytime you change radio you'll have to change Hboot version to the according of your motherboard, and the recovery for the following edition.
Hope i've helped a bit lighten up how it works

to answer that also. i flashed the 1.33.2010 spl and then flashed the ion radio (2.22.19.26i) and i seem to be just fine. i didnt even know the 2010 spl was the 32a spl. hmm im glad i didnt brick. and im running super D 1.11
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

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!
