[Q] Safe to use Rogers' RUU - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Is it safe to use the Rogers' RUU from here: htc.com/ca/support/magic-rogers/downloads/ (HTC MAGIC REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPDATE) if I want to revert to the original rom. Right now I have CM6 right now with hboot as 1.76.2007, and radio as 3.22.20.17.
Will this this brick my Rogers HTC Magic 32a, or do I have to change the radio, recovery, or anything else before I do this?
Thanks,
Victor

I haven't had pleasant experiences with RUU's. You'd be better off finding the SAPPIMG's and flashing it from hboot. If the RUU fails, for whatever reason, your phone will get stuck in "RUU" mode.

You have a mismatch between your spl and radio..
Any ruu will properly fail..
Fix:
Flash the 1.33.2010 spl... then flash the ruu

hboot version 1.42.0000 ?

Hello ! In all internet there is only one normal link about it and it is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533821
but, what does it mean? This version...
And what SPL ? How can i flash another with this version? There is not any guides about... Only for 1.33.2005 and etc. 1.33.xxxx ...

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

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

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.

Help me with semi-bricked mytouch 3g 1.2

Hello
I tried to root mytouch 1.2 (t-mobile) using "theunlockr" sappimg.zip way but when I reached the recovery step, the device didn't boot into recovery. Then I tried a lot of flashes and things but ended up with this:
-booting hangs with htc magic screen and can't get into recovery
-can use fastboot but the sappimg.zip (from theunlockr for rooting mytouch 1.2) hangs on unzipping system and other sappimg.zip version says it's an older version and can't update.
-can't flash anything from fastboot because it says: FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).

RADIO-6.35.10.18
any ideas please?
up up up up
It looks like either the sappimg failed to flash after doing the radio, or you didn't flash the stock radio back after flashing the recovery. Your only hope that I can think of is to redownload the sappimg and try the whole process over again.
i concur :0)
Thanks for your replay.
I redownloaded the file but it starts updating the system not the radio and as I said before it hangs on unzipping system. Is there any way to make sappimg.zip starts with radio?
Not that I know of. The only way I could imagine would be to extract just the radio image and flash it, but you would need the rest of the sappimg to do that. You could try finding a proper RUU for your device and running that from your computer with your goldcard in your phone, and then start over with rooting.

Possible Fix?
I have a similar problem, but unlike mine, yours can be fixed. You do not have a perfected spl, so I think that you accidently flashed a 32B sappimg for your 32A. I think this is the solution: http://www.askabouthugo.com/general/solved-android-phone-stops-on-fastboot-with-remote-signature-verify-fail/
Let me know.

I'm assuming your tmobile mytouch 1.2 right? Should flash over your stuff since i'm assuming you do have a perfected SPL.

Please tell me how he's going to flash a .exe file from his phone? If you go this route, you download it, then run the .exe from your computer with the phone hooked up via USB and in fastboot. You also need to put your goldcard in your phone. Problem is, if it fails, you'll be stuck at the RUU screen on your phone (which is basically fastboot) and you'll be kind of hosed.

[Q] I think I screwed up mytouch fender w/ 6.35 radio

I am having a problem with my mytouch fender.
I tried to flash to radio 6.35.16.19 to run the newer roms, really wanted to try smoki's rom and rc magic's v2 and now i'm stuck.
I can fastboot, flash hboot and recoveries but when I tried to flash a different radio it hangs at 95%, doesn't matter if i'm flashing radio through fastboot, trying to get back to stock with sappimg.zip it always hangs at 95% on step 5 radio v2. I also can not boot into recovery no which recovery I try - amon ra's or clock work.
I have search all over and can't find any help. I think I have the same problem as the person from this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712934&page=5
I hope I didn't brick it.
Was wondering if the fix from this thread would work for me
xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753972&page=2
The link to fix is no longer there however for me to try.
Any advice or help would be great. Thanks.

Sorry for deleting the fix... did not think anybody is gona need that... it was made spcially for the guy in the thread.
Let's see if we can fix your device.
Since you connot flash radio... then try to flash spl...
The problem is you have the wrong spl/radio combo...
You need the 1.76.2007 spl with that radio..
I dont know if this is going to work or not.. But if it was my device, then i will try it :0)
Download the tool i made for eyegor from my signature (radioswither).
Put phone into fastboot.
Check connection.
If you see the the device nr you are good to go.
Now flash the 1.76.2007 spl. Only the spl. Find it under the imgfiles folder.
Then reboot using the tool into fastboot again.
You device should have a diff spl. the 1.76 spl.
Now push "flash old".
This should set you back to 32A mode.
Flash any 32A/3.22 radio rom you like...
Like this one:

Thanks so much. I did what you said and flashed 1.76.2007 spl and was able to flash old and get rid of the evil 6.35 radio. I can now use my goldcard and get things back to normal. Thanks so much. I was already searching ebay for a new phone. Thanks again.

HELP! Soft Bricked phone!

I unroot my mytouch using the old sappimg.nbh method.
It flash successfully but now it won't boot!
I got a S-ON spl so I can't do fastboot and there is no recovery menu
I can still get into the fastboot menu but that is it
Can I use a 32B RUU to recover my phone then root it, flash the correct splash screen, then flash the correct spl & radio for my region?
i BELIEVE so... as long as you can get to hboot menu you should be able to RUU... did you have RAM hack installed .0013d?
I'd go back to T-Mobile default and start all over.
This post has info and links to restore 1.5, upgrade to 1.6 and then 2.2
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Opera...ooting-installing-Donut-and-Froyo/td-p/505421
If you want to flash a custom ROM just restore to 1.6; if you want to take advantage of the extra ram then restore to 2.2 and accept the OTA update.
Hope it helps.

since you are on the 2708+ radio and kernel you might need to downgrade those in fastboot... then try to reroot... but you are getting a new device anyhow...
edit: reread your first post and S-on... sorry... maybe next time try to downgrade the radio and spl before downgrading ROM...

I was going to try fastboot cyanogenmod 6 or a donut rom but the spl that came with the new radio is S-ON so I can't fastboot anything
then the sappimg.nbh made the spl a perfected spl
