Hello. I've got an issue with a phone. A friend of mine , used the vodafone updated to the latest version of 1.5 with Sense ui and perfect SPL.
Happens that with the orange tecnic we are able to Flash the SPL but it doesnt go to SiG off anyone know the reason?
I tried also to do an experiment to try get into sig off, i prepared a goldcard, and i flashed the old SPL and later made the flashing process by vodafone HTC generic update . Happens that the phone hangs on flashing Radio.
Later then Gives me RUU. So i flashed back the Perfect SPL of high radio, and first time hanged in radio, secound time worked.
Also there are issues regarding to this. When it is flashed ROMs for 6.35 radio, it seems that on:
sanpei hero, legend or eris
Smoki
Capyslide
The phone just hangs on HTC magic logo and stays there.
The only roms working are:
CursorDroid
Sanpei 0.4 pre
Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 and the test version 5.0.8
Anyone know the reason? Thanks
Best regards

Hello, fellow XDA people!
I have a 32B Magic, MyTouch 3G with "Radio-2.22.19.261" och SPL "HBOOT-1.33.2004 (SAPP30000)". I have RA-dream-v1.4.0 as Recovery Image.
Of course I wanted the latest things in the business, i.e radio and SPL.
I am running a Hero ROM at the moment and are thinking about flashing my phone with Eugenes latest android 2.1 Hero ROM.
My question is: which radio and SPL should I flash? I don't want to pick the wrong one and brick my phone, so I am asking you guys.
You dont need to flash either, the radio and spl you have on your phone are
fine, the only time you need to flash you readio is if you want fully functional
bluetooth when using a hero image.
Upgrading either will not give you a performance increase, it is not like the
windows mobile scene where there are loads of different radios and some
work better than others.
I think that the radio you have is the only one available for 32B devices at
the moment, i wouldnt recomend flashing a radio or spl from a 32A device
to your phone as you could brick your device.

Thank you for an excellent answer, really appricate it!
One ROM that looks abit interesting says you need "Haykuro Death SPL" flashed to your device - is it only for Dream, or do I have to flash it to my 32B Magic?
It is only for Dream/G1

Thank you! I owe you one.
I have a UK Vodafone Magic running the vodafone 1.6 ROM. I have given Cyanogen a try so can flash an image, but would like to have a look at AOSP 2.4 or Manup 456's 2.1 ROMs.
I am a little confused as to the procedure though... do I need to flash a new SPL (I didnt when I tried cyanogen), and if so will one SPL work with either image?
I have a NAND backup of my stock image, so can get back to that if something goes wrong, and I am using the standard SPL with fastboot bootloader.
Thanks

1.33.2010 vs 1.76.2007
3.22.20.17 vs 6.35.x.x
Ok, so what is the difference, other than they are required for certain ROMs?
What phones actually came with these 'new' versions; I have a new device, wouldn't it make sense that it had the new radio, it didn't?
Why would I want to upgrade and are there incompatibilities with providers (mine is 850/1900 freq)
Didn't see this described anywhere or in the wiki.
I'd be glad to tack it in for others information if we get some good information...
Thx!
Correct me if I am wrong. I believe the new SPL and Radio came into being when the new 1.5 Rom with Sense was released for the 32A Rogers phones. It does not use the "normal" 32A recovery but a version of the Hero recovery.
Will newer official Roms use this SPL and Radio combination? I have a sneaky feeling that it will be used again when the Rogers phones are upgraded to 2.1.
In the meantime, some chefs of the custom 32A Roms have decided to create a version of their Roms using these newer SPL and Radio. Some have not (it seems Amon RA won't for his Donut Rom). Hence, if you want to switch Roms you may have to follow CurseDroid's instructions to change SPL, Radio, and recovery.
Note: Some Rogers users believe that it is the new Radio that tells Rogers whether they have updated their phone to fix the E911 bug.
Hmmmm, I have a new Rogers Magic and it didn't come with the sense UI.
I also thought the Rogers update (maybe it was the OTA one) was still the old SPL, although a perfected version.
I also read a comment that said something to the likes of:
The new radio and SPL makes the 32A a Hero (or like)...
Does that mean it can run a Hero ROM?
Any clarification would be appreciated, will add all this to a summary...
Radio comparison
Hmmm are there any speed improvements or differences and reception differences between the 6.35x and 3.22x radios? If no, then what are the differences?
Will someone plz respond to this thread?!??
My phone came with new radio and spl when I bought it.
I switched to the old one to use Yoshi rom some time ago but now I'm back to the new one.
I didn't notice any difference between old and new in the phone speed or battery life, but the reception seems a little better on the new one.
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA App
Ever since the phone was new, no one can give an answere for what radio is better.
The only thing I have ever had is slightly better reception.
I rooted. My phone Mar 2010. The main reason people went to the old radio is because. Back then it had a more stable kernal / camera / wifi / Bluetooth. And more rom's were being cooked for it
Now if you have a 32a it does not really matter

There are more custom rom for the new radio.

I am not sure about that - I am aware of CM7, DietGB and Ginger Yoshi. But they all use the same kernels by carz12
Hi,
I've done the upgrade of my Magic to SPL 1.76.2007 and Radio 6.35.10 trough a goldcard and the RUU from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625108
Currently, i'm facing a curious issue. I've tried various rom version to migrate into version 1.6 or 2.1
like this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125
or this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640105
None of them work. The phone reboot and i'm stuck at the hTC boot screen and nothing else. My phone is not bricked because if i install a version 1.5, it works perfrectly.
Any idea's ?
Thanks
Cedric

that means that you are cooked
Not so fast.....
!!! IT HAS PERFECTED SPL
!!! ONLY FOR 32A MAGICS
SPL: 1.76.0008
Radio: 6.35.08.29
... as mentioned in my post, i've done the downgrade to SPL 1.76.2007
where this SPL version is not perfected. This explains also why i can fastboot.... but can't flash any rom above 1.5. So i do not understand what i do wrong.
Is these something special to execute ?
Thanks
yes, you've writed that you've done downgarde then done RUU which have PerfectSPL.
And as for now there is no back from PerfectSPL 1.76 - if you done it then that's it. Finito. No love.
Wait either for official 2.x ROM or for some hack to 1.76Perfect.
hi,
Sorry if i've been misleading.
I've done an upgrade using the RUU then i've done a downgrade as explained in the thread.
In fastboot mode, my phone does give a radio 6.35.... and SPL 1.76.2007.
Are you suggesting that even if the phone reports 1.76.2007, i'm blocked and can't do any upgrade ??
Thanks
Cedric
Are you doing a full wipe including dalvik and all that stuff before going up again? I've had no problem switching ROM's on 1.76.2007.
Hi,
Yes, i've done a wipe data, wipe dalvik-cache.
How do i make sure that it has been done correctly ?
WHen i flash, how do i make sure that the zip file has been flashed correctly ?
Thanks
that radio and spl has very few stable roms available, u hav to make sure that the rom u are flashing is compatible with that radio and spl, else the rom wont start and the phone will reboot.......

Hi,
I've used this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125 which is tailored for this radio/spl
Well sorry for the stupid question but since you wiped and everything should be fine with that radio/spl and rom.
Do you have patience enough to let the rom get going, these newer cooked roms can take quite a while before they start the first time.
Another question: What recovery do you use?
If you were able to downgrade the perfected SPL, post your method here:

A lot of people have tried and failed.

Does 1 hour is enough ?
Hi guys, this is my first post, I'll be quick.
3 months ago i got from my brother, a really nice and shiny HTC WIZARD G3 (from T-Mobile)
my bro has flashed the phone before, with a WM5 custom ROM from Tau-Rho and i have flashed the 6.5 ROM MEGAWIZARD on it, and some time later the 6.5.0 from MSD (Estrange thing: Although, i have flashed the WM Rom, the first Screen that the phone presents when we turned it on is the same than in the old WM5 rom)
Everything was working great, except for one little thing, the reception of signal on the phone was too poor, with any of the 3 roms. then i decide to test another RADIO ROM on the Wiza.
I have downloaded few RADIO_ONLY roms but i can only use the 1.x.x.x Versions. with V2.x.x.x Roms the phone just froze my wiza in boot
I have tested this radio roms:
2.17----------DON'T WORK
2.19----------DON'T WORK
2.21----------DON'T WORK
2.24----------DON'T WORK
2.25----------DON'T WORK

T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11----------DON'T WORK
T-Mobile-US_2.24.10----------DON'T WORK
Xda-Minis_2.21.4----------DON'T WORK
I Take some screens but XDA don't let me show them..
When my cell phone boot with a working Radio Rom show this on boot:
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.01
GSM: 1.13.10.0
OS: 6.5.0.0
When it boot with a NOT WORKING Radio Rom Show this on boot screen:
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.01
OS: 6.5.0.0
and it just restart the phone after that and restart and restart and restart.
i can go back to a working radio rom, flashing it trough the BOOOTLOADER, but i need to install a newer Radio rom. My Bro told me than i should to get back to the T-Mobile WM5 Original rom to instal a newer RadioRom, i have not attempted that method yet.
Any idea to make my Wiza to boot with a newer Radio rom?
PD: Whats the difference between a .NBF and a .NBA radio rom? i have installed .nbf radio roms only.
Thank you all for your support!
