Perfected SPL Question

Hi there,
i managed to root and flash cyanogenmod to my vodafone magic 32b and wanted to flash another splash screen which eventually failed. I found out that i have a perfected spl (1.33.0006).
Now, shouldnt this prevented me in the first place from flashing another rom and can I just flash another spl on my magic since i already have recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img running?! If so, can i take any spl or do i have to take a spefific version for my magic?

Sorry, I don't know that answer to your question but I have one for you!
I'm on the same phone (apart from i'm on HBOOT-1.33.0004), did you just flash Cyanogen like any other rom (like a hero rom for example)?
I have had hero roms but want to switch to Cyanogen and want to know if I just flash like any other.
Thanks! And sorry for hijacking your thread!

ok, i was bold and flashed Crios_SPL_1.33.2004 via recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img.
It now says
sappihre pvt 32b eng s-off h

Thanks for the link Smurf!
When I try and do the part when it says 'click back up recovery image' I get 'back up failed, could not run command'
Did you get that?!

Basically I didn't! I think that is for someone who is upgrading from a previous version.
I just wiped then flashed the HTC update, then flashed the rom as normal and it worked.
Although I have no bloody keyboard!

Is this Magic already rooted?

Hello.
I bougt a used HTC Magic phone, and i have no idea if its already been rooted.
Here's the intel from the Power+Back function.

If it's not rooted, is it partly rooted or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not the SPL that has root, it's the rom you are using ... so we can't tell from the fastboot information you posted. Most rooted roms have the superuser app installed .. do you have that?
If not you could try searching for 'root' in the market, and download an app that requires root (like PicMe). If it works, then you have root!

I wasn't as lucky as i were hoping for, unfortunatly it has not been rooted.
Do i have a "Perfect SPL"? If so, should i just drop trying to get the MyHERO ROM installed?

i have a perfect spl and installed myhero on my mytouch no problems.

What resources did you use?
I'd be really happy if you could provide some links or something

To root that having that SPL, you will have to use goldcard method...

what? i rooted useing cyanogen's tutorial with flashrec, and I just flashed the myhero rom after wiping in recovery... same as normal..
my SPL is the .0006 perfect one
oh and also my magic is 32B mytouch

Is the only way to get a HERO ROM on this phone using a goldcard? Or is it possible to flash a new SPL and use a custom rom without a goldcard?

There's no need to use a Goldcard, even with a perfect SPL, if you just want to flash a new ROM and gain root. If you want to use fastboot at all, then yes, you must flash a new "imperfect" SPL.
Follow Cyanogen's guide here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

Pixelkid, I also have a danish Magic and had the same SPL a few weeks back. I used the goldcard trick from this guide. Why don't you want to use a goldcard?

Help with root please

I just got a HTC Magic - Vodafone UK - Running 1.6 Donut

The only way to downgrade it is to use the Rogers Image - Would that be okay to do?
'Cause I remember when I had my G1 the rogers phone were quite different to the others
Thanks for help guys

Just tried downgrading using the SAPPIMG.nbh and I get incorrect model
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Just rooted following this guide from Cyanogens Wiki: Non-TMobile 32B Magics

Kinda odd that you already now have S-OFF. But you're gonna have to downgrade back to 2.2.1 first. This thread will show you everything that you need to do/know.

Doesn't gingerbreak.apk work if S-Off?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Gingerbreak won't work.
On the other hand, having S-OFF allows it to flash PD15IMG with recovery, for example. Which in turn allows everything else.

You totally didn't need to use the XTC clip! And what kind of a noob are you if you have an XTC clip? ;-)
But now that you have...
Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200147
Use the file that just contains ClockworkMod and ENG HBoot:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y2A16P54
Then boot into recovery and flash any ROM you want to. Or root the stock ROM using the superuser update zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 (use the "ef" Eclair/Froyo version)

Thank you!

How did you try to root? Using ace hack kit? If so, there is an IRC for this where you can probably request for help .you can check out at the hack kit thread.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD

That happened to me too, but it booted fine after a few restarts.

What part of the root did it get stuck in? You're s-on still which sux. Can you put a img file on the sd card root

Thank you just let me know when you upload!

What ROM are you running? Or did you simply try to acquire root capabilities so far (stock)? I really recommend you do some more searching around the forum because your problem seems like just some bad luck. Also did you back up before you started the AAHK?

Well... when you used AAHK what was the rom you have?
If the phone was with official update GB 2.3.5 sense 3, the hack kit automatically DOWNGRADE the rom before attempt to root and get it S-OFF (with the last official update there's no way to success S-OFF, only root)...
Than the kit (run it twice) will perform S-OFF and root.
If the phone was with a rootable rom the hack kit SKIP the downgrade step and attempt directly to S-OFF and root the device.
So.... what exactly the situation?!
EDIT: Read this, i think could help...
Only i recommend (if you want to s-off and root your device) to use a build with a sense 2.1

I have not meet this situation。
I suppose it need temporary root permission or goldencard ?? and then DHD can find PD98IMG.zip in sdcard and automatically install it。

Try wiping your phone a few times in row also the cachs. You may have had a corrupted download so try downloading it again. Also cyanogenmod 7 is very stable but I prefer the new virtuous infinity alpha 3 ROM and don't forget to flash the inspire patch after the main ROM it fixes the camera issues as well some other buggs. I am still considered a noob but i've been around the block a few times as well flashed a few different roms with success everytime. If this still does not work reply and ill give you detailed instructs on what to do. Make it as detailed as possible. What you did start to finish. Do your homework too.

Check post #10 in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377119
THis is an alternative way for the AAHK since it has been removed.
I'm guessing you might have done something wrong while downgrading.
Follow the guide, step by step, never skip anything, no matter how unimportant you believe it to be.
I'm sure you'll be good to go.
Good luck
