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.

I can't find the thread, can you give me the link?
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 am attending to buy Htc Magic, here in Serbia, which is selling through VIP operator. The only thing that I know is that this one is not locked and it is 32A version, so it has 288Mb of RAM.
My questions are...can I make bluetooth working for exchanging files such as jpg, mp3, mp4...
I don't need it for bluetooth headphones...
And the second question is can i flash some Htc Hero rom, so it looks and works exactly as on Hero, on my Magic?
Hope for your understanding...
I speak english very well but i can't understand some specific terms you are using...it's too difficult for me
And I was using Diamond before this one, and everything was much simplier with windows, than with android...and that is the reason I want to try this one...
thanks...
no bluetooth, but you can flash hero rom
check this link
http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/
read it carefully and follow the instruction
You should be able to flash other ROM after you have done the above ROM flashing
For me, I am using HERO light, very fast and stable for 32A bcoz I dare not to flash SPL
Cheers,

And what can happen if you flash SPL and can anyone explain to me what SPL is...but in english please...
And thank you for such a fast answer
read magic wiki
If you flash your SPL wrongly, and experts here confirmed that your phone is bricked, hee hee order a new phone.
Pls read the wiki for magic

ok...i got it
thanks folks
Moved. This belongs in the General forum, not in the development forum.
Ok, I will admit I am a total noobie with Android based phones. I have been on the Blackberry platform for years.
I just got my magic yesterday.
To my knowledge it has not been updated yet.
How would I go about seeing if it can be rooted? And what is the best way to get it rooted, if it can be?
I am an IT guy, I am not afraid to try things out, so give me some steps and I will do them ASAP.
Thanks!
1st, boot the phone by holding the back & power buttons. Tell us EXACTLY what is on the first 5 lines at the top of the screen.
From there you will know if your phone is rootable...
It says:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009, 21:02:32 .
does this help?
Those specs were the same as mine. I used the Relentless Rooter software to root my phone. It was free then but you now have to pay (you can find it in the app forum).
You can also use the unlockr one click method. Check his site and video. Remember to use the instructions for 32A. Some posters wrote that they could not use this method (flashrec) to flash the latest Amon_Ra recovery and the solution was to shorten Amon_Ra's recovery's name. I know this sounds foreign language right now, but I do suggest you read and research a bit, specially the comments posted under the unlockr's method.
Once rooted, you can find various custom Roms for 32A in the developers section. Make sure the Rom fits your radio and SPL.
Oh, once rooted, I would suggest changing your SPL 1.33.009 to an engineered SPL, like mine (I use 1.33.2010). You can do a search at google or within the developers forum to find out why.
CONSIDER YOURSELF EXTREMELY FORTUNATE, you have a HTC Magic with an OLD non perfected SPL. Hell it isn't even a protected SPL you can load custom roms right away without having to flash a a new SPL.
HTC Magic with that SPL are becoming rarer by the day.
I would look into what ROMs you're interested in, if you want a 1.6 ROM, I would recommend Cyanogen 32A Port or Amon_RA's 1.6 ROM.
If you don't need 1.6 and like Sense UI (I suggest youtubing Sense UI and Stock Android to see which you prefer), CursorDroid's Sense UI ROM is in my opinion the BEST ROM available for the HTC Magic.
Cyanogen and Amon_Ra's ROM will work with your current SPL (I believe). While CursorDroid's requires you to flash the SPL and Radio of your phone. Which is a bit intimidating for novices but if your well prepared and pay close attention to instructions it's easy.
Thanks to all, I used some simple instrutions.
I now have:
6.35.10.18 Radio
1.76.2007 SPL
And I installed the CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1 rom.
This is way better.

Maybe it was a new Magic which the person obtained from the HTC Dream upgrade.

Then for sure it was updated. Rogers wouldn't send out units with the bugged ROM.
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
Anyone got any leads for 32A 6.35 radio htc magic phone ?
Please kindly advise.
Pls stop flooding the development forum with nonsense but starting a new thread just for the sack of your lazyness? Go use forum search or go few pg of this forum back u will hv notice a post by me created for old radio. N some1 had created 1 for new radio as well.

i think ahmgsk is working on it
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to genral
Here is a quick port I did for the curious.
I'm not doing any dev work on Froyo, but I may port it again to 32a NR if no one else is doing it when other devs get it functioning better on 32b.

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...
