A very confusing problem - myTouch 3G, Magic General

My HTC magic has the following -
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT- 1.33.0010 (SAPP10000)
CLPD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:28:28
can somebody guide me , or post a link to change the HBOOT to something else other than 0010. Ive tried alll the methods , but no luck.
The Magic which i have is from Qatar (vodafone).
Any info on changing the ROM would be helpful. I just got the phone and im upgrading from HTC Diamond.

can you give us the name of the rom or the link ?
So i can help you .
Note that your informations about your phone show that your never changed the spl and the radio , and as you know every custom rom need specific spl or radio, and your fist question is can somebody guide me , or post a link to change the HBOOT to something else other than 0010.or my link give you all necessary to change the hiboot and radio ,

My current ROM ver is 2.56.415.5

If you list the methods you tried instead of just saying you tried all you might get more help. If you really tried all we wouldn't be able to help you anyway.
But instead of making us try to guess what it is there is going wrong, provide us with info. Then people won't come in and post link to the wiki and things like that
Anyway, goldcard should be able change this SPL, and i believe that other methods is available as well. I used to have that SPL myself before i got an engineer instead. But you should change your SPL before trying to flash a Rom, but seems like you understood that just trying anyway. Other solutions is to find a newer RUU update there match your mobile which have S-OFF so you can downgrade the SLP after that.

I would take a less risky approach than RUU updates, but it was the way i did it cause back then i got my phone the 1.33.0010 was still perfected.
You got the SDK on the PC and able to list devices through ADB? And a goldcard as well?
Anyway, this was the method i used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096

Ya , im able to connect it and run adb devicelist and i'm able to create the goldcard as well. But wen i'm trying to load the SPL , it shows that the current ROM ver is higher . S-ON means that i cant downgrade right?
So i'm guessing there is no solution for this problem

How to FIX INVALID MODEL ID after bad flashing

I change the rom and Advantage it´s broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The error is ERROR 244 INVALID ID
i have flashed my unlocked athena x7500 with rom 6.1 by irius. the update breaks at 98%.
now i have only pixels on screen, and nothing happens.
in the Bootloadr following:
\
IPL-v1.00
\
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
Help... help... help...
Explain a little more by 'changing ROM'!
I was entering a rom and I was blocking the Athena by making a reset everything returned to normal but I can not enter another rom because I get this error.
As we enter the ATHENA in Bootloader I get:
, @
IPL-V1.00
, @ MFG
SPL-3.50.OliNex
Missing data?
What ROM are you coming from? What ROM did you attempt to install? How are you trying to install it?
I'm still a little confused by 'blocking the Athena by making a reset'
If you are attempting to reflash your device to a different ROM, make sure you follow the instructions posted around the site.
Are you downgrading? Using cmonex downgrader....... I hope I can help but I need a little more information from you on whats going on.
Or maybe someone else can chime in if they get it!!!!

I had installed the rom iRUs, then installed the new rom taxist and 98% were blocking ...
Try to re install and continues to bug me.
Please, my English is not very good ... some help ...
I made the downgrade but I continue to get the same error!
You used the wrong SPL Version

It seems that you did not read taxists instructions that it is for SPL 3.5 only
Why don't you try flashing AP3
Edit:
sorry bit of confusion with what you have done.
Were you on SPL 3.5 originally?
Did you use Cmonexs downgrade file after the failed Taxist flash?
If you did then trying AP3 for SPL 1.XX should work.

ok, i'll probably make a new thread and sticky that. about modelid (and wifi) restoring
but yeah until then everyone use that link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454 here mainly 33rd post.
if you already managed to screw the modelid, the downgrader won't help, because it only reads the current information (of modelid and wifi) and transfers it to the right place when downgrading.
but the above link always helps. you just need a mac address to enter in the program.

If you use router, the number is there....
Few questions:
How do you mess up the modeID and wifi anyway? Is it flashing to many ROMs? Does this automatically happen with the upgrade to spl 3.5? How does this happen?
Second, I have ran across my the mac address....but I'm having a blank....where can you find that at?

@deejayviral and others,
You will have to read the wiki and then go to General or Q and A sections when you get stuck.
There is no simple or short answer.
Please read the sticky threads.

It's my understanding that you must first downgrade to firmware 1.5 to root. Maybe that's just for the so called "one click" root process??...
root via my software its straight forward my friend even idiots can do it

Used to use cooked rom, phone function sudden failed.

I used to use cooked rom, tried 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.x.
Failed to search for phone signal today, confirmed not SIM card problem.
Will cooked rom damage hardware? Thanks!
I don't think so , Hard-reset your phone with your Sim-card inside it and it will work again
If the problem still persist, try to install radio from this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440503
If that does not solve the problem, I think the only way is to install a shipped ROM that suits with your phone's specification (ELF or ELFIN, Model ID and etc).
But don't forget to return your SPL and IPL to origina ones when you will load a shipped ROM. You can find them on XDA Wiki.
Hope your Elf (Elfin?) will be Ok!
How can I know my original IPL? SPL?
if you didn't run the dsixda script before hand that grabs all your information, and have sinced changed your IPL/SPL then I'm not sure.
However, If you know your phone model number (T-MOB0005 etc.) You may be able to guesstimate to what they were based on that - Personally, I think that could be a bit risky, but it was worth the suggestion.
Do you remember if you have changed the IPL and SPL? You could always run the dsixda script now to see what you have. It should be in the ROM section
Sorry I can't be more help, but I can only make a suggestion as to how, as I have always took a note of them before starting anything.
At the same time - I also have an elf that is unable to connect to a network, I have tried radio upgrades etc and custom roms, so if you do fix it, I know that I would appreciate the outcome, as would many others who have posted the same issue - In the mean time I am continuing my hunt for a fix for it

If you haven't changed them, then you could well still be able to use your shipped rom.
but if you don't know what they were, and have changed them, then yes, custom roms is the only way for you, from what I understand.

so please try to help for an new guy in this magic stuff
thanks you
blump up!blup? ??
Any one can help?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I can speak only for myself, but what I'm telling now i think is 99% accepted.
However I can not take any responsibility for your actions.
1. Usually it's safe to try any custom ROM with will NOT put your security on ON.
2. I only had problems with Rogers stock ROM which did not flashed correctly even if it said it did.
3. If you have S-OFF, you can recover your phone most of the cases if it boots into fastboot.
4. However, if you get S-ON, you can recover your phone with goldcard if you have a higher version of the ROM (I don't recommend you to get there)
5. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE HBOOT - RADIO PAIR YOU FLASH. IT CAN GIVE YOU SERIOUS HEADACHES. Search which pairs are compatible
6. READ CAREFULLY, BUT CAREFULLY EVERY TUTORIAL BEFORE STARTING TO DO ANYTHING
7. AH. DON'T EVER BE IN A HURRY WHEN FLASHING CUSTOM ROMS AND BE SURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED
8. The rest is history and, as always, GOOGLE is your friend
Good luck.
thanks .
