[Q] [32A] going to old radio and keeping new spl - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello everyone.
I used search but couldn't find it. Probably because search doesn't take under consideration 3letter words like "new", "old" and "spl".
I'm running:
sapphire pvt 32a eng s-off h
hboot-1.76.2007 (sapp10000)
cpld-12
radio-6.35.08.29
aug 21 2009, 18:19:15
1.6.2 AmonRA recovery.
Can I revert to old Radio and keep new SPL?
What should be the order of downgrade? Radio first and SPL later or the other way around?
Should I maybe downgrade them together and later upgrade SPL back to 1.76?
Any pros/cons of running old radio and new SPL? Is custom recovery a game changer in this process? Should I go back to stock recovery?
Thanks for your help. Cheers.

NO.. the spl and radio is a combo and cannot be interchanged.
Download my fastboot commander tool (magic version, check my signature) and it will do it for you the easy way :0)

And what if i saw in someones signature 3.22 radio and 1.76 spl ? just an error or a possibility?

Ask that someone...
But highly a mistake!

Does recovery version has to be old too? Or can i just keep the new one?

You have to change your recovery too, because switching the radio alters your phones partitioning scheme, thus making the recovery crash.

and while booting i have Orange screen with logo MTN
This is Rogers Dream, yes?
No rogers always had a 3.x radio and a 1.33.00* spl, I think its the older orange (france) dream rom.. (thus the orange splash screen)
If its stock firmware (ie not rooted):
> If you upgrade it with the orange 1.86.73.4 ruu (avalible on orange's website) you can root it with flashreq following the rogers pre911 patch instructions..
> I think there is other ways (ie rc29 may work with a gold card)
If it is rooted no need to unroot.
i'ts already rooted, and i already flash about few month ago cyanogen 4.2.15. And i tryed 5.0.7 (for AnySPL) - all fine and work.. But now i whant to flash another SPL, and maybe radio... but don't know what version, coz in all internet there is no any guide =))
I Have usual HTC Dream ? I can flash usual danger spl ?
I'd upgrade to 1.33.2003 .. then flash the newer 2.x radio via fastboot.. if you really need danger spl that can be flashed by fastboot too..
Check this thread starting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6510019#post6510019
Thx for your attention...
So, and i can use this thread for all operations ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625886
but my steps will be like this ?
1) 2003 spl

No. Leave out step 3, it is REDUNDANT.
Do this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874
the thread has what you need to flash 1.33.2003.
And some support files to flash the lattest 2.x radio and if desired switch between 1.33.2003 1.33.2005 spls via fastboot
Always be sure however you understand what you are installing. And why you are installing it.
Particular when spl and radios are involved.. these are the lowest part of your phones software stack, if you flash the wrong thing you can brick your phone even if fastboot is more forgiving about version mismatches.
As for installing 1.33.2005 depends on what you hope to do. CM5 and CM6 both work great with 1.33.2003 and custom partitions, but to install the base rom without partition mod you will need 1.33.2005.

New SPL for myTouch 1.2

So I've figured out that I've got the myTouch 1.2 (because I have the 3.5mm jack) and I'm currently running a ported version of SuperD 1.10.3 which is awesome. The issue I have is that I want to replace my splash screen, however, the only success I've had in getting my phone rooted and a custom ROM loaded was to load up a rooted SPL, flash AmonRA's 1.7.0G recovery, and then reflash my radio/SPL back to the original state. So, I don't want to have to load up one of the rooted SPL's and then go back every time I want to use ADB via Fastboot. What I was wondering is if there's any 32A SPL's with the 2.22 radio so that I wouldn't have to go back to the locked (perfected) SPL. Here's what I've got
FASTBOOT Specs:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
RADIO - 2.22.23.02

This is the wrong section. Should be in General (unless you're releasing a new engineering spl)
You need to use an engineering spl to modify your splash screen, flash the new splash screen, then flash your stock spl back. You might be able to continue to use the other engineering spl (1.33.2010) but you will lose half of your ram, headphone jack, etc.
Here's the engineering spl
Here is the stock spl
Alright, that's what I had been doing but wasn't sure if maybe there had been an engineering SPL put out that I could continuously use. The issue I've had is that whenever I load the engineering SPL, do whatever I need to, then go back to the original SPL, I can no longer boot into recovery. I end up having to reload the engineering SPL, flashing over the hboot and radio, and reflashing my recovery on. Is that right or is there an easier way.
About the wrong section, I though about that a few minutes ago, sorry for posting in the wrong one. I'll remember that for next time.
What I've been able to do is just flash the 2010 Engineering SPL, flash my new splash screen, then revert back to the normal SPL and everything works from there.

@Binary100100
How do I Flash ENG SPL and Flash back the Stock SPL? Is there a guide?
Also, how do I back up my own Stock SPL?
(wondering the one provided stock spl is the 1.33.0013)
thnx in advance.!

If you've got the myTouch 1.2 (with the 3.5mm jack) then you can use this guide following steps 1-8. What are you trying to do it for?

I want to Flash the FAT GREEN T-Mobile Splash screen into something else.
wow, thnx for the guide. but I need to make a GoldCard? is the the only way to flash the SPL? and flash it back?
Binary100100 posted the ENG SPL, and original SPL. What I am wondering is, what spl version is the original?
Can I just zip up the Original SPL, and rename it update.zip. and Flash it.
Will this work?
The original SPL will include the stock recovery which you don't want. That's why only the radio and bootloader are in that guide to be flashed back.

HTC Magic 32b 3.22 radio ROM problem

Hi,
I have HTC Magic Vodafone UK version (32b) . A month ago I wanted to install a ROM which required a higher version of radio, and I bricked it
I had it repaired in a shop, but it seems that the guys put the wrong radio. This is what I get in fastboot:
Now I have 3.22 radio (which is only for Magic 32a). The problem now is that I cannot install 32b ROMs because of the radio, and 32a ROMs are also not working (or maybe I am doing sth wrong). The only ROM which is working currently for me is VOdafone 2.2.1 32a.
So, my question is: which ROMs should I be installing now - 32a or 32b?? Should I maybe go again with radio change, and go back to the old one (which is a risky process)
Thanks!
Thread moved to General.
Please pay attention where you post your threads next time.
Sorry, will pay attention in the future
The good thing is, that you have eng spl..
So you have total control over the device,,,
You can flash anything you want..
Just flash a different radio and you should be set :0)
Hey mumilover,
Thanks for the reply.
The thing is that I've already bricked it once when tried to change the radio, so now I'm afraid to do it again and thus trying to find some alternative
Download my fastboot commander from my signature.
Download this radio: https://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img
Flash it.
Download this recovery: http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Flash it.
Reboot into recovery and flash whatever rom you like :0)
Good luck.
When I was reading about flashing radios, I remembered pretty long and complicated procedure (downgrade android, wipe, etc.) Is it with your fastboot commander that easy???
I got more than 5000+ users....

OK, I'll give it a try...
Hey, I have just given it a try, but it won't flash the radio. I get the Fastboot connection (it says "Fastboot USB" on the phone screen), but in your app it says that "PRINT OF DEVICE INFO FAILURE - PLEASE CHECK YOUR CONNECTION.
No fastboot device connected."
Any idea what the problem might be?
By the way, I have been using regular fastboot for quite some time, and it was always working flawlessly with my phone.
Seems like its the connection to me, even with s-on on my phone it I still get the device info print off
Which OS do you use?
If normal fastboot commands works, then this tool SHOULD work :0)

I am using Windows XP (32 bit), and I have used regular fastboot at least 10 times on it to install different roms and stuff...
OK, I'll try again...
Aaaand, I tried again and it's not working again... same message...

Hi!
Thanx God I've found the proper topic )
Unfortunately phone that seems to be 32b based was bricked today.

I adviced owner to flash 2708 radio and SPL 1.33.0013d from recovery.
After flashing of radio phone became a brick...
Hope guy will manage to unbrick it, but the question is what to do further.
Is it safety to flash radio/spl using your soft of it would be better to use fastboot method described here (I mean Revert to 32B Radio)?
And is radio 2.22.19.26I what we really need?
Which SPL should be flashed after to escape bricking?
Keep the spl...
flash the 2.22.19.26I radio and G recovery from my tool or fastboot.
Then you should be all ok...

Ok, I see. Do you think engineering 1.33.0010 should remain untouched?
But how to flash new 1.33.0013d which is required for many roms with appropriate kernels?
P. S. I've tried your tool on another computer, and still can't get a connection to my HTC Magic ((
It finally worked!!!
Well, nobody told me that I needed to install this HTC Sync software...
OK, so I finally installed 2.22.19 radio, but for this ROM I need 2.22.23 and Death SPL. Is it safe to install those using your tool???
Again, thanks for your time!

!!sos, exppert dialog needed !!! 20$ +

Heres my issue...
No rom or recovery rom that works
yes bootslpash screen
yes fastboot with security
I need a solution that involves
a funtional rom
ability to flash to funtionality
I have researched and troubleshooted this problem extensively; to no avail! Even though I should have already, I will donate 20$ for attention and 30$ for solution.

You need a few things.
1. goldcard
2. A sappimg.zip with a higher version than what you have with an Eng spl. (Preferably for 32b)
3. Time, patience
4. Luck
All of these are easy to find or get besides time, patience, and luck
Im currently looking for sappimg.zip that contains the required criteria. I will post after flash attempt...
thank you
forgot to mention
I forgot to mention a common occurance since I lost custom recovery and custom rooted rom, ect.
the "goldcard-sappimg-flash" process freezes or hangs at [4] SYSTEM during the unzipping portion
As you have MT3G v1.2 / Fender - it is too hard to restore your phone after your faulty actions. You bricked your phone, when flashed inappropriate hboot and radio

That post seems to be talking about mismatched radio and spl. His match, but are the wrong ones. He should be able to flash a sappimg.zip to get an Eng spl and fix from there
Ironically, the thread you have suggested is the first thread I followed to configure my device for the "carz" latest custom rom.
Is there a way around the "unzipping hang" that happens during system partition portion of RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver flash? I have also tried the goldcard method with extracted rom.zip of the mentioned RUU rom with same result.

Yeah, but solution is same. Sure, he can start from step 2, cause he has combo without mismatch between hboot and radio already.
And yes, should flash 2.53.707.2 to get special combo with eng spl and then return to stock.

I was having problems rooting my Rogers HTC Magic+. I used this method and it worked like a charm to get root, Eng SPL. After that I was able to flash custom recovery and ROMS.
The ROM in my Signature works really well.
Flash the original "RRU", then root with androot.apk from market, install rommanager from market and flash recovery, reboot recovery and flash the ENG spl
solved your problem yet? maybe i may help.
no... i have not solved my problem yet your help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks to all that are willing to help.
Hmmm looks like I my have jumped the gun ...you see I had no sdcard detetion before but then I found away to get sdcard detetoin again and 4 hours ago I thought it would make everything better but as I was trying root the phone I was having trouble with that , I tried to use supertool root opption.. but that did not work it said rooted but it was a fail.
If I can get root then things would be a lot better.
Any ideas to help . Thanks to everyone that helps
Well looks like I'm in more of a pickle becaues of my spl not allowing me to root my htc magic it looks like the only way to do this is to create a goldcard and then try again
Well I tried superoneclick to root my phone and it half roots my phone by putting the su file in the wrong place in the /system/xbin where it should be in /system/bin...? Any thoughts I need some help
What stock rom do you have? If you have 3.05.401.1 - so it has root ALREADY
Ruu sapphire htc wwe s.africa 3.05.421.3 is the rom that I am using... But I do not have root accesse
Is this still a problem ?
Yes its still a problem
Well iv sorted most of everything out now I flashed at new slp 1.76.2007 eng and using goldcard tool witch is a time saver. and now I have a custom rom and custum recovery now all I have to get s-on to s-off and that means flashing a new spl eng, but is there a spasific one I need.... I'm thinking of 1.33.009 H eng s-off??

New I'm going to flash a new radio using fastboot commander V.1.0 magic version... Must I use the magic tab and erase system +userdata+cache and hit flash new or flash the radio with hboot,radio,recovery tab?
The radio I'm going to flash is radio HTC pvt 32a 6.35.16.19...
Ok I used the magic tab and erase system ect and it was successful flashing SFM 1.2 rom now.....and the flash was successful awesomeness
No need to erase system, data, cache while flashing radio only. But if you will decide to change ROM - yes, do full wipe...
Thanks bud
