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 ??

Buying a new phone + can I root this?

Hey guys.
So I am buying this phone (please check link): Here
I asked the guy and he said it is a 32B and he is checking to see if it is 1.5.
It is a US model and does not have the network logos on it.
Will i be able to root?

so can I root?

Hard to say whether it is 32A or B. but you can get root access with most of the version a bit difficult with 1.6 from what I understand

thanks. SO i can unlock a 32A with 1.5? nice

It is very easy you use just a couple minutes but the method on theunloker is slightly out of dated.

Thing is, all the ROMS under HTC Magic are 32A roms?

32A,B donut and cupcake +++

ehh? what do you mean?

If it comes preinstalled with 1.5 and I use a rom that is 1.6 or 2.x, how do i get back to 1.5?

If you successfully flash an engineering SPL on it you'll be able to flash any ROM you want... It won't bother you about system versions.

some roms say you need a specific SPL and radio, would I need to change them for every rom?

The only ROM I know that requires a specific SPL is CursorSense and it's for 32A... for other ROMs I think any 1.33.20xx SPL will work fine (1.33.2005 does on mine).

aww I see, thanks.

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.

Rogers EB0 to EB1

I am sick of flashing/waiting for a port.
I know you can do this with the dream as I have done it I want to know if you can do it with the magic.
I look and I am all confused now.
I have:
Sapphire PVT 32a ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT 1.33.2010
Radio 3.22.20.17
Using Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1
I want to continue using Clockwork but don't want to use the ports any more.
Can someone point me in the correct direction.
Thanks

OK you have unlocked SPL and stuff, for magic there are few roms in development section to chose from (sense and sensless). If you want sense ROM it is 2.1 android version and you need Eyegor's radio switcher to switch to 6.xx radio and 1.76 spl and hero recover to install it, but if you want 2.2.1 adnroid version you can flash senseless roms for 32b magic and flash cyanogen kernel to work on your 32a magic. It is your choice which you will install.

Thanks but that isn't exactly what I meant.
I want to use the cyanogen nightlies and others that are in the dream form but I don't want the extra step where you flash the port.
I did this with my dream and I wanted to know if you can do the same for the magic.

Why would you use port????? You have original Rogers sense rom 2.1 android and MyTouch nonsense rom 2.2.1 android. Both are made only for magic no port, MyTouch is for dream too, i noticed that dream adn 32b magic have same specs

Cyanogenmod 6 is unstable on HTC Magic 32A

Hey gents. My dad has had his Magic for a couple of years now and lately it's become quite slow using the official Roger 2.1 build. I offered to update it to whatever the community has created. I've never done this before so I started with Cyanogen mod. I basically followed the directions here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio) downgraded the radio, rooted the phone and installed recovery. I then installed Cyanogenmod 6.1 which is latest for HTC Magic (wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_version#MagicCM6). Unfortunately Cyanogenmod is very flakey. Everythign is quite slow and trying to access the Maps crashes the phone and so does trying to access the ROM Manager.
Here's the info the phone displays during fastboot:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Should I upgrade the radio back to 6.35? Where can I find a stable 2.2 or 2.3 ROM? Is there anything else you guys can recommend?
Thanks!

i recommend carz android 2.3 rom for 6.35 radio
stable and fast.
but i have not tried the new rom's that emerged 'recently'

Thanks blizard80, is this the one: db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?developerid=2245#684?
Maybe a noob question but what's the difference between carz recover and say Amon_Ra Hero recovery that installed during the rooting process?
Thanks!
