Magic32A Unable to install CM5.0.7 Help!

This is repost from another thread(i'm unable to link it yet)
Hi,
my phone was:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32
so i finally decided to try a new rom, i was still using android 1.5 that came from factory, after severals hours of reading in this forum i decided to use CM 5.0.7, i followed "[Rom][32a][32b][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/31/2010) Mod Revision-2" thread instructions and used Radio Switcher v2.1.
Everything worked fine, now i have:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG SHIP S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.10.10
Aug 21 2009,18:19:15
and recovery RA-hero-v1.6.2
after this i tryed flashing CM 5.0.7 with this recovery and i got "getprop" error
so i decided to install CursorSense32 ROM
It worked, all was fine, but i was still using android 1.5.
so i tryed using this tutorial from cyanoMod wiki: Upgrading from CM or other rooted roms - Magic32A Firmware to CyanogenMod
i flashed HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip using the same recovery, but when i tryed flashing CM 5.0.7 i get the "getprop" error.
I can't use RA-shappire.1.7.0 or any previous version, probably due to the fact that i´m using SPL 1.76
So now i´m stuck, my phone wont boot after Vodafone logo.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advanced
Update:
I was able to fastboot recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img
then i Wiped,
next i applied Zip: HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip,
then CM5.0.7-32a-blk-r2.zip
and lastly bc-5.0.7-ebi1-signed.zip
reboot and nothing has changed
Update:
It seems i flashed with radio wrong when i should have stay put.
.....
i reverted back with radio switcher.
flashed with CM5.0.7-32a-blk-r2.zip and it worked.
Problem solved.

Won't work..... you just upgraded your radio from 3.22 to a 6.35... CM runs on 3.22. You need to downgrade to 3.22 for CM.
PS: Check the left tag of the topics they often contain the radio version for the rom
ie: [Rom][32a][32b][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/31/2010) Mod Revision-2

^^^ right there

[Q] How to revert back to official rom?

Hi.
I recently got a Magic so I'm not really into the Radio \ SPL stuff having come from a GT-I9000.
It's currently running CyanogenMod 6, but it's dog slow... (maybe side effect from Galaxy S?) and as such I wanted to go back to the most updated HTC (Generic if possible) or in last case, Vodafone PT / Europe supplied rom, or the most updated official one that can be rooted.
The details of the phone are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33-2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009,17:27:03
Also has AmonRA's RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H recovery flashed as well.
It was bought in Vodafone Portugal (If it has something to do with CID, idk?), tried the ro.cid stuff but nothing appeared with CID in it.
Can a helpful soul please outline the steps and hopefully a link so I don't end up with a brick?
Edit: I've searched the forums and the internet, and to be honest, most answers to "revert to stock" or "unroot" here on XDA have little or no answers, or very vague ones. I found this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/ but again I'm not sure if that's for a 32A or 32B, so I'm afraid of trying it...
I also have ADB and Fastboot working if it helps.

Bump for an answer...

I flashed back my initial nandroid backup, then a SHIP SPL that I extracted from one of the RUUs I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 (mine was 1.33.0010) and then used FlashRec to restore the stock recovery. Cleaned up the SD card and wiped the phone. Easy

What if I don't have a nandroid backup of the original?
Also, can't I use a stock rom but with modified spl and recovery?
Many thanks for your answer, even tho it doesn't help me much.

If you don't have a nandroid you can use the files from this archive: http://www.multiupload.com/ALE01CBNSN
Since you have an ENG SPL, you can extract them and use
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
This will take you back to stock system/kernel/userdata without removing your custom recovery or S-OFF (ENG SPL).
BTW, talking back to those trying to help you is a GREAT way to make sure they keep on trying.

Do I get it right? (Custom ROM on 32B/1.33.0013)

Hey, I need you to confirm if my plan to flash a custom ROM on a friend's HTC Magic will work. I have experience with flashing ROMs and using recovery on my LG phone, but the HTC seems to be a little bit different because of the SPL and Radio things.
The specs of the phone are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.28.25

ROM at the moment is official 2.2.1 and was updated the official way.
So, in order to get any custom ROM installed, I follow these steps:
1. root with SuperOneClick
2. install Amon_ra recovery by
a) using ROM Manager from market, or by
b) typing "flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img" in terminal app, or by
c) booting into fastboot and write "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
3. access recovery (home+power?)
4. wipe everything using the recovery menu
5. use install zip and install the ROM of my choice
(6). install ezterry's Kernel (when is this necessary?)
And another question: do the SPL and Radio I mentioned above use the 15MB extra RAM and so I have to use an appropiate firmware like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866878 , or is this only possible with the 0013d (I have the 0013, without "d") and 2708 combination?

For the recovery the easiest method is to install with ROM Manager. Flashing from terminal will require you to add the flash_image binary to /system/bin. You can't flash from fastboot since you have a perfected SPL. The other parts of your steps are correct. The 1.33.0013d SPL is the only one that allows for the extra RAM hack so you wont get that benefit unless you change the SPL (which is easily done with the upgrade .zip file provided by ezterry from recovery). Flashing a new kernel is only required if specified by a ROMs dev. The benefit of flashing new kernels is that you can get updated ones that OC more efficiently. Pershoot is about the only kernel dev keeping his work updated for the Magic these days though and even he isn't releasing updates that often. The Magic is unfortunately rapidly becoming an outdated device.

You do not need 0013d on a 32b sapphire [aka magic] phone 0013 and your current radio will allow you to run the extended 2708+ kernels. Just before flashing a custom rom run SuperWipe.
HOWEVER: If you intend to use CustomMTD or frequently flash roms I highly recommend 1.33.0013d because it has some additional features that will make it easier to fix up the device if you run into problems.
As mentioned just use the update.zip in my 2708+ thread for going from 1.33.0013 to 1.33.0013d
(Such useful features are: fastboot erase -w to erase system. cache, userdata after changing the partition sizes with customMTD if you have issues booting.. not required if you super wipe first but if forgotten will be an easier recovery than the alternative. Also 0013d has a hardSPL feature of allowing to flash NBH files from any region thus you are less likely to need to find a gold card to flash one if you phone stops booting into anything but the bootloader.)
Note Dream users almost always *must* use 1.33.0013d as otherwise they are on the stock partition size and will not be able to install most modern roms.. Its possible to use CustomMTD to get around this.. but as mentioned 1.33.0013d has a better feature set for use with CustomMTD as well as mis-flashed recoveries regardless of CustomMTD use.

EDIT: okay, thanks to both of you! So I'll flash recovery, wipe, flash 13d (for more security & features), keep Radio, flash ROM.

Nice to know. I, for some reason, was under the impression the RAM hack was tied to your custom SPL.
@OP, wipe after upgrading to 13d.

No its related to 1.33.0013 allowing alternative base addresses in the boot.img.. (well and the 2708+ radio giving a little more ram to linux). The memory hack was based off the sapphire ota kernel.
1.33.0013d was a hack to make supporting/using the spl on the dream less of a nightmare. (Along with the rest of the material posted on the 2708+ thread). In short how to deliver it such to avoid the pile of bricks as generated by dangerSPL now that we know better.

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery

Hello,
I have a T-Mobile US MyTouch 3g (headphone jack at the top). I followed a guide in this forum, created a gold card, and rooted it - it has the "HTC Magic" boot animation (the guide I followed said I can swap this out later).
ROM Manager v4.2.0.2 is running. I want to install Clockworkmod recovery, but it asks me to choose my phone version and I'm confused as to which one to install now. I have the following choices:
HTC Dream (GSM)
Ion/MyTouch 3G (GSM)
HTC Magic (GSM)
My recovery says "RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G" at the bottom.
In the System Information section, I have the following stats:
HTC Magic
Android 2.2.1
Baseband version 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernel Version 2.6.34.1-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1
Cyanogenmod-6.1.0-DS
1. Is it safe to flash Clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager? If so, which one should I flash?
2. Can I safely upgrade to CM 7.x through Clockworkmod?

MyTouch/Ion recovery and yes. Follow the instructions that are provided for CM 7. I would honestly flash through the recovery itself and not through the Rom Manager. But that's just me. CM6 and CM7 has had issues flashing the recovery though. You may have to try a couple of times. If all else failes then flash the ENG bootloader back onto your phone, flash the image through fastboot and then go back to the stock spl.

Why are you swapping to Clockworkmod? Secondly, I though the CM team was no longer supporting the dream/sapphire.

[Q] HTC Magic radio and SPL change

Hi guys. I need some help with my HTC Magic.
I have Magic 32A, (now) with radio 3.22.
I have rooted phone, and installed CyanogenMod, but I am not satisfied. I want to return to stock rom with HTC Sense.
The thing is, I had radio 6.35 but had to flash to 3.22 because of cyanogen mod.
Can I flash it back to 6.35 and put some newer stock rom for HTC Magic? Can flashing back to 6.35 cause some troubles?
Thanks for your time and answers

if the radio is the only thing you needed to change for CM then u can flash it back to 6.35. wipe your CM ofc cause according to your story it's not compatible with radio 6.35.
first determine the type of ROM you want, and then find out what version SPL and radio it requires.
superwipe your CM ROM and then flash your SPL and/or radio to meet your new ROM's requirements. Then flash your new ROM.

If you have hboot 1.33.2010 ENG S-OFF now, you can simply change to [new radio] combo and back too.
Use Fastboot Commander to do that. It has option to change by batch (hboot, radio, custom recovery), so you can do it safe and quickly.
Fastboot Commander: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435
Note: only for Magic 32A (users with MT3G v1.2 with 3.5" audiojack - DON'T flash 6.35 combo)

thank me too
