Perfected SPL Question

Hi there,
i managed to root and flash cyanogenmod to my vodafone magic 32b and wanted to flash another splash screen which eventually failed. I found out that i have a perfected spl (1.33.0006).
Now, shouldnt this prevented me in the first place from flashing another rom and can I just flash another spl on my magic since i already have recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img running?! If so, can i take any spl or do i have to take a spefific version for my magic?

Sorry, I don't know that answer to your question but I have one for you!
I'm on the same phone (apart from i'm on HBOOT-1.33.0004), did you just flash Cyanogen like any other rom (like a hero rom for example)?
I have had hero roms but want to switch to Cyanogen and want to know if I just flash like any other.
Thanks! And sorry for hijacking your thread!

ok, i was bold and flashed Crios_SPL_1.33.2004 via recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img.
It now says
sappihre pvt 32b eng s-off h
hboot-1.33.2004 (sapp10000)

Thanks for the link Smurf!
When I try and do the part when it says 'click back up recovery image' I get 'back up failed, could not run command'

Basically I didn't! I think that is for someone who is upgrading from a previous version.
I just wiped then flashed the HTC update, then flashed the rom as normal and it worked.
Although I have no bloody keyboard!

you can go to theunlockr.com and go to the vid that says downgrade your phone so it could be rooted

The only way to downgrade it is to use the Rogers Image - Would that be okay to do?
'Cause I remember when I had my G1 the rogers phone were quite different to the others
Thanks for help guys

Just tried downgrading using the SAPPIMG.nbh and I get incorrect model
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Just rooted following this guide from Cyanogens Wiki: Non-TMobile 32B Magics
Now just need to find a good Sense rom - Can anyone reccomend one?
Thanks

Roms won't work...

I have a mytouch-(The original one) and i have a problem. I hacked it a few months ago and everytime i install a rom from the mytouch section it doesnt work but my phone only works with G1 roms.
Please help me fix this.

the roms for the mytouch are generally made for 32a HTC phones different boards and hardware so they wont work as long as the rom as 32B you are good to go

"Hacked it" how?
What kind of original MyTouch do you have?
In other words, what spl, radio, recovery, etc.

well i don't really know how to check spl and radio. etc.
but what i do know is when i start up my phone with Home+Power
Build is RA-Dream-V1.6.2

Do (power+back) to get into fastboot and post that info.

That's Amon's recovery manager, which allows you to do lots of cool things with your phone (flash ROMs, themes, wipe your phone/SD card, and more).
If you want to flash a ROM on your phone, I would suggest looking over in the G1 Android Development section for some ROMs that almost always work with the 32B MyTouch3G phones. Just make sure it's 32B and not 32A.

@Dust but i want to use a Mytouch rom now... i'm tired of using roms over at the G1 develp section when im not even using one.
and for my info here it is..
Sapphire Pvt 32B Ship S-on G

Then it says fastboot, hboot mode, reset device, restart to hboot, and lastly power down.

You have the MT3G thats not the Fender/1.2 MT3G (No 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top, I have the same phone.)
As far as roms go, you have to go through the G1 roms or find 32B roms. The MyTouch threads are usually 32A roms which are for the Fender/1.2 versions. Some roms will have [32A] or [32A/32B] in the posting. Look for the ones that work on both versions or just 32B.
Try the Rom Bible in the G1 Development Thread. Also, not trying to be an ass, but make sure you know what you are doing before you try to flash a rom onto your phone. The last thing you want to do is brick your phone and have no idea what the specs on your phone are.

also I should add that you can have a Mytouch and have a Hero rom flashed on it. Thats the beauty of rooting and flashing so don't think that you need a Mytouch rom for your Mytouch. The roms are created for the specific model of phone...

oh ok thanks. and yeah when i flash rom i just pick anything and flash... lol
last thing.. since you are using the same phone as me what rom are you using atm?

Just note that if you run a Hero rom then you will have to reboot every so often (about every day or so) and you will not have bluetooth.
Depending on the Hero rom you will also not have camcorder, wifi, livewallpaper, etc.
So... if all that sounds good then go for it.
Personally, I avoid Sense UI roms like the plague.

ok thanks. i am wondering about live wallpapers though because all i have is the maps.. how do i get other live wallpapers?

You look in the market for lwp. I am using the same phone as you too. Running chromatic 4.3 atm. It runs good. Cm 5.0.8 runs really well (2.1). Or enomther has a really good 1.6 just look around and try different ones. That's the fun.

If you want a decent Nexus LWP I recently came across one on Market by stealthcopter.com called Nexus Revamped. They have a paid version as well that has more options. I was so impressed with it that I got the paid version.

thanks guys really helped clear things up.
Using the chromatic and the Nexus LWP now thanks for your suggestions.

[Q] Attempting Root but......Main Version Older

Ok, I recently got my hands on a MT3G, no 3.5mm, and I'm trying to root it. It came with Froyo already on it (2.2.1) and as far as I understad, no one click method works for 2.2.1? Anyway I'm trying to downgrade and use the goldcard method but I keep getting the Main version is older message. I've used 3 different sappimg files but same thing. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? This is my first time trying to root

You didn't make your goldcard right. Secondly, stop flashing different sappimg.zip's or you'll possibly end up bricking your phone. Lastly, this is rumored to still be working with the 2.2.1 update. If that one doesn't work, post your fastboot info here. With the phone turned off, turn it on holding back+power and post everything you see there.

I rooted my mytouch 3g a few days ago, I used super one click, and my phone has no 3.5mm jack. all 32b phones work with super one cancel so far i know
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Ok guys the Super One Click method worked for me. Got rom manager installed. Made backup and now trying to flash Cyanogen 6.1. But it gets stuck in reset loop. What's the deal now?

Turn your phone off, then turn it back on holding back+power. Post everything you see there.

Try doing a full wipe "data, cache, dalvik-cache" and reflashing the ROM.

Your problem is that you have a 28.25 radio, which is new and cyanogen doesnt support it yet, he will soon enough though. You either have to find a compatible kernel with your radio or flash this rom

Flash this rom and it should work. If it worked hit the thanks button.

OK, about to try this now and will report back.
Report: It worked! Thanks alot for that tip and thanks to everyone else who took time to help this Android n00b

I think you need to get the 1.33.0013 SPL if you are using that radio... someone may need to confirm this, but you should look info that to see if this is related...

That's the spl I used and all is working great now

I think you need to do that only if your PC is having problems detecting your phone. All I did was plug it in with USB debugging enabled.

Help please!! Htc magic almost bricked.

Here is te the deal I have an htc magic model A6161. It is a 32a magic and it is an htc branded phone. I rooted my device successfully and installed a custom rom on it. Everything worked fine until I flashed the 6.35.10.18 radio. Now my device can only boot on fastboot mode and bootloader, and when try to turn it on normally it just shows the htc logo for a few seconds and then reboot itself doing the same
I just wanted to know if there is a way for me to get my phone working Again. Here is the info of my phone :
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

if i am correct (which i may not be cuz i dont know much about 32a phones) then i think you have to flash an spl that goes with the 6.xx radios.

Yes I thought that as well but the thing is that I can't flash anything with in recovery because when boot my phone in recovery mode it reboots itself before a can do something. I tried to flash with fastboot but I could'nt ether because my magic is SHIP S-ON H and I need it to be S-OFF H to do that. Just in case I know that the "S" means security. Do you know how can get it be S-OFF instead of S-ON. If I can do that then I think I will be able to fix my phone. If not any other helpful info is welcomed.

Hello, all. I'm sorry I write in this threat, but I have exactly same problem. I got the SPL to 1.33.2009 S-OFF from 1.33.0009 S-ON and when I tried to update the radio to 6.35 ( via the Radioswitcher tool )- it was successful, but can't boot. Nore fastboot or RadioSwitcher does the work ( phone goes into black screen ).
Wish you luck with our issue.
edit: I managed to flash the old image but now it's stuck on the "HTC MAGIC" logo, and still won't boot.
edit2: Got everything back, like before, but still can't boot. Have to mention that, when updated, I used the top options from the RS GUI, "Flash bundled Radio, SPL& Recovery" with checked "Erase system+userdata+cache" - is this, what I've done wrong ? If I understand correctly, a custom rom flash would fix the problem, because I've deleted the system, right ?
Thank's for your time.

Sorry grundio I whish I could help you but I do not have experience with 32a magics at all.but maybe the guy how is helping me can give you a hand as well. Let's wait for him to reply. Otherwise if you need some help with 32b devices I might be helpful.
Sent from my Yoshi Mod MM1 on 32b using XDA App

Thank you, @gabriel.castro. Wish you luck .
Well, if we can go into fastboot- there is always hope. I think I accidently deleted my rom and flash would fix it, but I am hoping for a confirmation, to be sure.

I have a 32A. I'd say follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio)
And once you get a working ROM booted up (Yoshi's, CM, etc), take it slow on upgrading again. Also, I don't personally trust apps like that, just do it the commandline way and it'll just work. Dunno, I just trust commands more xD.

sorry if i'm mistaken but i think that in order to this procedure to succeed my phone most be able to boot normally first. and that is my problem. i can't get it to boot normally. but thanks for your time anyway

Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.

The output is: "version-main: 2.52.707.2"
