Magic32A Unable to install CM5.0.7 Help! - myTouch 3G, Magic General

This is repost from another thread(i'm unable to link it yet)
Hi,
my phone was:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32
so i finally decided to try a new rom, i was still using android 1.5 that came from factory, after severals hours of reading in this forum i decided to use CM 5.0.7, i followed "[Rom][32a][32b][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/31/2010) Mod Revision-2" thread instructions and used Radio Switcher v2.1.
Everything worked fine, now i have:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG SHIP S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.10.10
Aug 21 2009,18:19:15
and recovery RA-hero-v1.6.2
after this i tryed flashing CM 5.0.7 with this recovery and i got "getprop" error
so i decided to install CursorSense32 ROM
It worked, all was fine, but i was still using android 1.5.
so i tryed using this tutorial from cyanoMod wiki: Upgrading from CM or other rooted roms - Magic32A Firmware to CyanogenMod
i flashed HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip using the same recovery, but when i tryed flashing CM 5.0.7 i get the "getprop" error.
I can't use RA-shappire.1.7.0 or any previous version, probably due to the fact that i´m using SPL 1.76
So now i´m stuck, my phone wont boot after Vodafone logo.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advanced
Update:
I was able to fastboot recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img
then i Wiped,
next i applied Zip: HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip,
then CM5.0.7-32a-blk-r2.zip
and lastly bc-5.0.7-ebi1-signed.zip
reboot and nothing has changed
Update:
It seems i flashed with radio wrong when i should have stay put.
.....
i reverted back with radio switcher.
flashed with CM5.0.7-32a-blk-r2.zip and it worked.
Problem solved.

Won't work..... you just upgraded your radio from 3.22 to a 6.35... CM runs on 3.22. You need to downgrade to 3.22 for CM.
PS: Check the left tag of the topics they often contain the radio version for the rom
ie: [Rom][32a][32b][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/31/2010) Mod Revision-2

flashing an SPL on a rooted 32B

Hi,
after reading through all manuals I still have this question.
I own a dutch (one click) rooted vodafone Magic:
PVT 32B CCHP S-on G
Hboot 1.33.0004
Radio 2.22.23.02
RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G
I would like to get rid of te first vodafone bootscreen. I understand that I first have to flash an engineerd SPL. (I'm not allowed to flash a bootscreen with 1.33.0004)
1) Am I correct that I should flash: Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 (or do I need another version)
2) I do this by using "Flash zip from sdcard" in RA recovery
3) Is there a risk of bricking my phone this way
Anything I missed??
Thanks a lot for your help
Eric
Since you have the newest radio you shouldn't brick your phone. Before people used to brick their phones because they didn't have the latest radio for G1's. as long as you have your radio, or the other one ending with I, you should be fine.
Thank you
Flashed it and it works. (didnt have wifi or connection afterwards, but reinstalling a rom fixed that.

Please help, rooting and installing custom rom (HTC Magic)

Hy there, i'm completely noob, but I was reading this forum for couple of weeks now. I want to root my device and I found really simple guide on Unlockr.com, rooting magic in one click.
So, is this good guide? And when I root my phone, I'm completely lost between so many things (radio, spl...).
This is my phone, HTC Magic (non-branded):
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0009. (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
Please tell me what should I do after rooting (if that rooting procedure is ok), what rom can I install to my device, is there something I must do before installing (or after)?
Please help me! Thanks for your time and answers!
I think the guide "rooting magic in one click" on Unlockr.com is for old radio only (correct me if I'm wrong).
Your phone is running on new radio verion, so I think you can't apply that method to root your phone.
You can use this method (thank to agriff):
Download new RUU
http://www.multiupload.com/XQEH9NVGY7
Flash with Goldcard method http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how...te-a-goldcard/
1. Download RUU linked above.
2. Install update using RUU.
3. Turn on phone and connect to computer.
4. Get RA recovery and SPL also linked above and drop them to sdcard root directory.
5. Run SDK: adb shell
6. Install recovery: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
6. Turn off phone and turn on again holding Power+Home. RA Recovery should appear.
7. Flash zip from sdcard.
8. Use file: update-hboot-1762007-signed
9. Done. PSPL broken.
10. Build a shrine for orange_24

Or you can get more detail instruction at: ROOT YOUR HTC MAGIC
After rooted phone, you can install any custom ROM for 32A with new radio like: Smoki, CursorSense32A (these ROM with Sense UI, very nice...)

[Q] How to revert back to official rom?

Hi.
I recently got a Magic so I'm not really into the Radio \ SPL stuff having come from a GT-I9000.
It's currently running CyanogenMod 6, but it's dog slow... (maybe side effect from Galaxy S?) and as such I wanted to go back to the most updated HTC (Generic if possible) or in last case, Vodafone PT / Europe supplied rom, or the most updated official one that can be rooted.
The details of the phone are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33-2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009,17:27:03
Also has AmonRA's RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H recovery flashed as well.
It was bought in Vodafone Portugal (If it has something to do with CID, idk?), tried the ro.cid stuff but nothing appeared with CID in it.
Can a helpful soul please outline the steps and hopefully a link so I don't end up with a brick?
Edit: I've searched the forums and the internet, and to be honest, most answers to "revert to stock" or "unroot" here on XDA have little or no answers, or very vague ones. I found this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/ but again I'm not sure if that's for a 32A or 32B, so I'm afraid of trying it...
I also have ADB and Fastboot working if it helps.
Bump for an answer...
I flashed back my initial nandroid backup, then a SHIP SPL that I extracted from one of the RUUs I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 (mine was 1.33.0010) and then used FlashRec to restore the stock recovery. Cleaned up the SD card and wiped the phone. Easy
What if I don't have a nandroid backup of the original?
Also, can't I use a stock rom but with modified spl and recovery?
Many thanks for your answer, even tho it doesn't help me much.
If you don't have a nandroid you can use the files from this archive: http://www.multiupload.com/ALE01CBNSN
Since you have an ENG SPL, you can extract them and use
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
This will take you back to stock system/kernel/userdata without removing your custom recovery or S-OFF (ENG SPL).
BTW, talking back to those trying to help you is a GREAT way to make sure they keep on trying.

[Q] how do I install CM6 with EBI1 port?

Hi
Im running out into unknown territories
Im trying to follow these guides
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/9-32aebi1-port/
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_32A
But when I flash CM6.0.0 and 6.1.0 with EBI1 port only i get bootloops
Ive got
Magic 32a
1.33.2007 SPL/HBOOT
3.22.20.17 radio
S-OFF
it all ends in: doing the bootloops a couple of times, and boot back automatically into custom recovery again
It seems that the cm6 ebi1 port ive refered to, is only the port file, and not the complete ROM.
think I need to wake up
updating...

[Q] HTC Magic radio and SPL change

Hi guys. I need some help with my HTC Magic.
I have Magic 32A, (now) with radio 3.22.
I have rooted phone, and installed CyanogenMod, but I am not satisfied. I want to return to stock rom with HTC Sense.
The thing is, I had radio 6.35 but had to flash to 3.22 because of cyanogen mod.
Can I flash it back to 6.35 and put some newer stock rom for HTC Magic? Can flashing back to 6.35 cause some troubles?
Thanks for your time and answers
if the radio is the only thing you needed to change for CM then u can flash it back to 6.35. wipe your CM ofc cause according to your story it's not compatible with radio 6.35.
first determine the type of ROM you want, and then find out what version SPL and radio it requires.
superwipe your CM ROM and then flash your SPL and/or radio to meet your new ROM's requirements. Then flash your new ROM.
If you have hboot 1.33.2010 ENG S-OFF now, you can simply change to [new radio] combo and back too.
Use Fastboot Commander to do that. It has option to change by batch (hboot, radio, custom recovery), so you can do it safe and quickly.
Fastboot Commander: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435
Note: only for Magic 32A (users with MT3G v1.2 with 3.5" audiojack - DON'T flash 6.35 combo)
thank me too
