Can you tell us what your current spl and radio is?
By the way... how is this related to Apps or Games?
Wrong section and not enough information.
Give me one reason not to close this thread.
I'll move it to General but for future reference I'm going to start just deleting posts that aren't posted in the right section and the OP may even receive a ban for a day or two for repeated offenses. Just FYI.
When the ROM devs refer to the new radio they are refering to the 6.35 radio, im not going down to the exact number mines 6.35.08.29 for example (theres a slightly newer one) and I dont know what people really consider a new SPL (still noob here) but I've found most hacks are compatible with the 1.76.1007 SPL (enginereerings SPL I beleive) and majority of people seem to be running it including me Sorry if that was a little confusing lol
Have a good one mate.
As far as I know, the RADIO is the firmware which controls all communications (WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth...) and the SPL... good question!
It stands for Second Program Loader, essentially the Android Bootloader. It also provides some other functionalities like, f.i., boot options (recovery mode, fastboot, etc), it checks that the recovery ROM is digitally signed, contains the start up picture, etc.
I am not completely sure of what to do with it; some guides recommend to replace it with a engineered one, some others not, it seems to be required to update it to install the new recovery from Amon_RA....
I would like also to understand what is exactly the role of each part in this game and what are the dependencies in terms of updates: RECOVERY, SPL, RADIO and ROM.
Cheers.
Thankyou everyone.
My current Radio is 3.22.23.18
and 2010 spl,
is my radio is latest in 3 family?
I see G1 has 3.22.26.17, is it suitable for Magic?
Thankyou
anyone knows the new radio is 3.22.26.17 or 3.22.23.18 for Magic?
Thz in advance
Remember that 32A and 32B magics use different radios...

Okay, I've pretty much been self help during my tenure of android exploiting, to call what I do hacking is an insult to cyan, lucid and JF and all the work they are doing. but I want some opinions on what I should do next.
I know there is some other SPLs up there, I'm currently running the HardSPL (a modified version on the Enginneering SPL distributed with the ADP). Should I upgrade to a newer SPL (I.E. Haykuro), is there even a point seeing as I have A2SD with a class 6 chip? Note I do intend on staying with Cyan's JF builds.
I also understand upgrading to some SPLs require a newer Radio then I probably have. I believe I can find the radio version on the Camera + Power screen. What are the benifits to upgrading the Radio, and should I upgrade my Radio even if I decide the SPL isn't worth it?
Prodigal Sun, Hero Port, Aero, and Black Ice are all different themes, however I can't decide if I want to use one and which one. Prodigal Sun is my favorite by far, however I plan on using AHome, so I'm not sure it it will work. I also like Aeros toolbar up top look. Any other Themes that someone might suggest would be great. Remember I'm on JF 1.51 Cyan Edition
Okay, also this seems like a wierd question but as far as ADP vs .odex, which is better and what difference is there really? ADP seems to run faster even though .odex is supposed to be "optimized."
Thanks for any and all inputs!
dont anyone reply all at once now... >.>
I wouldn't upgrade to Haykuro's new SPL. First, you need to make sure you have the PVT and not DVT board (Hold Camera when booting and you'll see which one you have). If you have PVT, you can install it. If you have DVT, it will brick your device.
Next, it's been reported that once you upgrade to the new SPL, you can't downgrade your radio or it will brick your device as well.
Haykuro isn't as active anymroe since he's stopped developing ROMs so I assume there won't be much support for the SPL without Haykuro around much.
I think the risk outweighs the benefits at this point. That is just my 2 cents though. I would like to update to the new SPL as well =[

Seconds that on the SPL:
I already bricked a phone.
Won't be trying it again until they 100% resolve the updating issue.

Thanks for the heads up. I read that message like 2 minutes after I decided to flash the radio and SPL. I got lucky I just dodged a bullet I guess. My system is running without bricking so I should be good.

Quick question: Why would anyone want to downgrade their radio?
I keep hearing this come up when people are discussing whether or not to flash to H's SPL and I never understood it.
they might not want to, however what if a file they goto load has the old radio in it, ie the RC29 file. that being the case they want to make sure they load up the hardspl or engineering spl then flash the update.zip or the nbh file that has the old radio in it.

Ah good point sir
You don't really need the new spl, unless your going to run hero build then you may want to. Dude, jf, cyanogen builds don't need it. I just flashed it to try hero and to get more space.
I didn't notice a diffrence when I flashed it. I was run CM 3.3.8 before and after. Thanks for lucids script tip
Hi
I've got a Magic which I've rooted and am loving... The only thing I'm confused by is this:
Shortly after rooting it I loaded a new SPL (http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/spl-signed.zip).
It seems that ever since then the phone has felt a bit sluggish and jerky when jumpy when scrolling etc.
So my questions are:
What is the SPL?
What does it do?
How can I tell which SPL I'm running?
Where would I find a 'better' SPL?
Is it possible that the SPL is making the phone a bit sluggish?
regards
J.
I think that build is for the htc Dream aka. G1
You should probably revert to a build for htc sapphire aka. magic aka. G2
Then again maybe not..
It's the same that's linked to in step 13. of this guide http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
Hi Flip Flop,
Yeah, that's the post I got it from... but interestingly the ROMs that post refers to don't work on the South African Magic.
I'm still at a loss as to what the SPL does?
How do I tell which SPL is loaded now so that I can compare it to my friend's unmodified magic?

An SPL, is a secondary program loader, an IPL (Initial Program Loader) is responsible for loading the SPL which in turn loads the operating system.
Hi s1nn0n,
Thanks for explaining that. How do I tell which SPL I've got on my phone?

Turn off your phone and then hold in the Back button and press Power.
Your phone should boot into fastboot mode (background image has 3 skating androids). Look for HBOOT-x.xx.xxx (blahblah).
Your SPL version is that number.
eg: HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000) has an SPL version of 1.33.2005.
Hi Chris
My phone says "HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)"
Are there upgrades available? SPL upgrades are dangerous right?
Perhaps you know the answer to my other question... Can the SPL affect the phones performance?
j.
I'm not sure if the mechanics of spl's are the same on the android based phones, but for windows mobile based phones, the spl doesn't affect performance as much as the rom in general does. That's not to say that the spl that you loaded isn't causing conflicts with your current rom, it's just to say that your phone is probably experiencing issues based on something that isn't running right.
Did you load any other apps onto your g2 at the same time as spling it? Unlike apple phones, android based third party apps are allowed to hook into the actual function of the phone, this means that some things can affect the performance of core phone functions with negative results.
I am very new to the android party, but I've had experience with a lot of different htc phones, (raphael, shift, touch hd, athena, diamond, and now g2). If the hardware is at all similar between some of these models (and it most certainly is) then perhaps what I've suggested might be relevant.
Then again, perhaps I'm way off

I use a HTC Magic 32B, i know this is a pretty noob question, but i keep seeing you MUST have the newest radio,
My Radio- 2.22.19.26I
I'm not sure where the SPL is.. LOL
Any help is really appreciated, Thanks guys!
From my knowledge, whenever I see newest radio it is the 6.35.xx which you should not even touch because you're on the 32B. I believe you can use 3.22.xx but you should research that yourself and see what other 32B users are using. I'm 32A so don't just trust everything I just said! You might brick lol
The SPL is the HBOOT that you'll see, it's something similar to 1.xx.xxxx
Since you didn't even know where the SPL is, do some research before asking the most simple questions which can be found with a simple search! You don't wanna be like the other members who don't even bother searching, then decide to flash crap they don't know to their phone which ends up with a beautiful brick! so first, I'd suggest you not play with SPL/Radio yet (most likely to brick), Then I'd recommend you to do some MORE research
I've got a vodafone G2, but the newest roms always require spl 1.76 and radio 6.35,
Can 32b usd this spl and radio? How?
Thanks a lot.
Sure can just look in the magic development section and there is a thread that tells you how to upgrade to these.

Maybe i was wrong the tread i was thinking of only applies to 32A. Hmmm maybe just keep searching cause I`m sure it can be done. (I`m still in noob stages here) maybe someone else can help

i've read lots of articles on this site. i suppose i'll need to instal another rom on my phone. i read a lot but i get little confused. i think first i have to instal HardSPL (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614) second i have to flash a radio and i can instal a rom. and on this page (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784) it says i don't need to flash a radio. which means that i just install hardspl and instal this rom... am i right?
can you guys help me what am i suppose to do... and which version of hardspl, radio and rom works well for me?
sory to ask lots of questions but i don't know enough about wm phones ( thanks for guides...
Hi, basic steps are
1. Backup your important data like contacts etc..
2. Its very IMPORTANT that you Flash HardSPL first before flashing any ROM (No worries,it only needs to be done once for you to enjoy subsequent custom ROMs). Version 2.08.HSPL is ok.
3. Browse the threads for a suitable "TMobile HD2 compatible ROM" or visit this link for comfirmed ROMs.
4. Perform a Hard reset after successfully flashing any of the ROMs
5. Enjoy!
i suggest u clear your schedule, get coffee, tea, drink(s) and visit This Link . It contains info and links to all the guides you can possibly need to push you and your device to a higher level. i wouldn't recommend trying android till you are very comfortable with flashing ROMs.
you dont need to worry about the radio just yet, because since you have a tmous phone, it already has a radio that will work with all tmous compatible roms anyway.
Well I'm gonna just say right now I'm not an expert or anything since I'm relatively new too. I'm just trying to help, I would however advise wait for a more experienced person to answer.
First, if you want to flash a ROM follow this guide for the TMOUS HD2's. It goes over how to do it, which ROMs are compatible and all that.
Yes, you do have to get HSPL (except I think there are methods when you don't, though that might just be for the international phones...). But to get HSPL you should probably use this. I don't know if it is the only thing that does it but it, from what I understand, is the most well known. It also keeps you from "bricking" your phone.
From what I understand the only time you have to flash a radio is if the ROM needs it, and the chefs will say if it needs a certain one or list ones that it works with on their ROM page. I think most of them support the radio that comes stock, though don't take my word for it. I would wait for someone else to confirm or re-explain this paragraph because I'm not completely for sure.
As for which ROM is right for you...well only you can answer that. They all are different and different ones have advantages over the others. You just gotta explore a little and see what looks nice. This is the list of ROMs that support the T-Mobile HD2 so stick to it. I don't know how up-to-date it is (meaning I don't know if there are any new ones or not) but stick to those, you can "brick" your phone otherwise.
I would however advise if you're new to WM phones to try out themes first. They are a lot safer and I don't think there is any chance of ruining your phone (the only reason I flashed mine is because I've done it with a different phone before and felt comfortable doing it). Don't do anything you are uncomfortable doing and understand all the risks that go into anything you do to your phone before you do them.
Sorry for the long post, just hope this helps a little.
Edit:
I just got double ninja'd

That's d spirit...You'll be amazed @ what the search function on XDA coughs up...Everything'll go well once u stick to d guides and TMobile compatibie ROMs & Radios.
i picked up this rom (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652649) but there is two options. 1) com5(c5) 2)com2(c2). i don't know what it means... and if want to install one of these roms do i have to flash a radio after installing hspl?
and what is the stock rom?
thanks again...
It looks like COM5 and COM2 are just different versions. COM5 offers more options it looks like though, but I'm not sure. Someone else can probably answer that a lot better than me. I am also unable to answer the radio question. Sorry.
As for stock ROM though, that is the ROM that came already on your HD2 when you got it.

I see u picked out Kumar's ROM...Click Here for a thread on the definitions and differences between COMs...And No, you won't need to flash a radio after installing HSPL or a custom ROM (Unless you are having problems connecting to your network in which case, u need 2 be careful 2 flash a radio known to work with Tmobile HD2).
Stock ROM is the original/default ROM which TMobile shipped with your device. Follow this guide and you can grab the stock ROM from here. The Stock ROM has to be re-flashed to your device if u ever have to return it to Tmobile as flashing a custom ROM voids your warranty. Grab useful links and watch video tutorials here.
Hope dis helps ya.
