Hello.
I have searched MANY many threads (Google, Cyanogen... here) and I am resorting to anyone who can help. Here is my dilemma:
* I have an original MT3G 32B USB device (not the Fender)
* In prepping for OTA 2.2 update, I unrooted and flashed back to what I thought was MT3G 1.6. Instead, it would appear the SPL is Voda based on the following stats:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8, 2009,21:02:32
I literally have tried everything (flashing different SPLs to update fail errors, used adb to load files to card/rooted/tried to use ClockworkMod/Amon_Ra recovery...in short, just about everything).
The Voda surprisingly works, but it is now an HTC Magic with a 1.5 with no ability to do OTA updates. I am just trying to get back to the T-Mobile stuff so I can do the 2.2 update per instructions in this forum.
Can anybody help guide me as to what I am doing wrong or what to do right? I will even contribute a decent amount via PayPal for a solution that works... if it is against forum rules, mods, I apologize. I don't have anything against Voda... it's just that I goofed and am trying to get some much-needed help from anyone.
In advance, thanks and until a reply...
The journey takes a screeching halt while this weary traveler holds up a "HELP ME" sign.
UPDATE: I think I have officially bricked my device. I downgraded my HBOOT to 1.33.0004 or 5 and downgraded my radio to 2.22.23.02. I allowed it to flash and it restarted to the Voda logo and stood there... unable to go to SPL/fastboot/ClockwordMod. Is this an official brick?
This doesn't really have anything to do with Development.
Moving to General.

Hi,
Sorry for being a Noob, I have read the Wiki on Ultimate Guide to Hacking your Sapphire Handset and attempted to try to fastboot using RA-sapphire-v1.6.2 but did not manage to get to the screen as shown you thread.
These are the details of my phone and it is bought in Singapore and I recently upgraded to Sense UI. I have seen a couple of threads with others suggesting to create a gold card and others dont need to hence I am a bit confused here.
Is there a thread out there to teach me step by step how to root and upgrade my Rom.
Can you teach me as I have been looking at this forum for a couple of weeks and couldn't find a step by step but and many users seems to experience different problems when hacking it. Seeing my colleague hack his Nexus One I really envy and will like to hack mine as well.
Please help
Thank you in advance

Are you running 1.5 (cupcake) or 1.6 (donut)? You can't push a custom recovery until you downgrade to 1.5. From there you can install flashrec.apk and flash a new recovery. Once you have your new recovery, flash your rom of choice through the recovery.
If you're currently running 1.6, in order to downgrade, you need to find the appropriate SAPPimg.nbh/zip with a non perfected SPL. I believe the SPL you currently have is a perfected SPL which will prevent you from rooting with the one click method. More than likely, you will have to root via the goldcard method, which will require an additional sd card. Preferably a 2 gb kingston micro sd with an adapter to connect to your computer. You can find detailed instructions at the link below. Just read carefully, its really not very complicated if you just follow the instructions step by step and do a little research.

since he don't know how ROOT his phone and he said that upgraded to Sense then it is only logic that he did offical RUU 1.5 SenseUI 1.76 PerfectSPL = no love.
Hi Sombionix and dk75,
I am using 1.5 (cupcake), I did some hunting on myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development forum and there were some threads posted but none of them mention anything about successfully rooting phones with HBOOT -1.76 0007 and successfully installing a new rom.
Is this true that it is not possible? Has anyone done it successfully ?
Please help
Thank you
is there a way to downgrade the Sense UI back to the original Rom shipped/stock version then Root and install a new Rom

Can anyone help?
Last year i installed a Hero ROM on my Vodafone HTC Magic with help from this guy: http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/
Everything worked great, except for the fact that it runs really slowly sometimes and takes an age to do anything. I want to return back to the original Magic ROM (or as near as i can get to it) so that it runs faster and responds as it did originally. I have read through loads of forums and the majority say i need to root my Magic first. Because i have already put the Hero ROM on, does that mean the phone is now rooted? I am starting to get lost in all the different reports and would like some clarification on what i need to do, and where i can get a working ROM from. Hopefully the following info will help.

Hello everyone,
I have an old 32A Sapphire that I bought in Canada on rogers network when it first came out. I had rooted it and put custom recovery and roms on it but when rogers put out the manditory update I got them to send me a replacement and just put my rooted magic to the side. It's been quite a while since I've tried to mess around with it and see that a few things have changed. I really want to try and get it back on rogers network with root still. I have never done anything more than one-click root flash recovery and put on some basic roms. I am thinking that my radio and spl will have to be updated. Current info is as follow:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Running a couple different roms that can be switched using RAv1.2.1H:
Hero3G UNI
Hofo 221
RA-IONv1.6.2H
I am really just wondering what guides and steps I should follow to get it updated (hopefully to the new rogers 2.1). Any info/links is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hey There,
I have been researching this topic for quite a while and i'm a bit frustrated at this point. I have come across a pile of threads on this website about information to root/put new roms on the HTC magic.
Here's the handset details before I go into anything else
Sapphire Unknown 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.007 (SAPP100000)
CPLD-10
I'm in version 1.6 and i understand that you must downgrade to 1.5 before rooting. I followed a simple tut to downgrade it that entailed putting the sappimg onto the SD card and doing an update.
Whilst Doing this it gives me an error saying it can't find anything but when i look closely it is looking for files called "sappdiag" not sappimg
Please provided what I should do it'd be greatly appreciated
I'm very confused as this is meant to work to downgrade to cupcake...
Cheers

Hi mate,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Magic_(32B)
Read this through to the letter, and you should be just fine
There is nothing on that page
If this is a stock Vodafone UK Magic with Google branding then you shouldn't have to downgrade, nor mess about with SPLs, goldcards or anything.
The link supplied in the previous post doesn't include the final ')' character, I can't post the correct link because the forum rules prevent me from posting external links. If you have any further trouble go to the Cyanogen wiki and have a good dig around.
Just get universal androot out the market and root, rom manager to flash a recovery and your done

Hello! I have the following phone:

Now it is on official Android 2.2.1 and I am trying to flash a custom ROM (Ginger Yoshi) following almost every guide in the forum but I am getting nowhere! I even have problem when trying to flash amon ra recovery. I believe that the problem is the perfected SPL. Can someone please guide me or point me to the right thread for flashing a custom Rom or even downgrading. I have done a lot of research in the forums and Google but with no result but maybe I was looking for the wrong stuff.
Please help me! The phone has become very slow and it needs a change.
After a lot of trial and error I found out what I was missing! I will try and make a step by step guide for the rest.
Loumbas , we are waiting for your tutorial
