Confusion of 32A or 32B while rooting HTC Magic

Dear users,
I wanted to root HTC Magic with the following helpful tutorial.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
However, I faced a problem about the motherboard version. When I check the motherboard version as tutorial suggested, I saw that it is 32B. However, Recovery Flasher app claims that it is EBI1/32A and it does not allow to flash the recovery image of 32B.
On the other hand, when I checked /proc/meminfo file, it says that
MemTotal: 99708 kB
MemFree: 12068 kB
which is 32B as suggested by Amon_Ra
So, I am confused. Could you please tell me which recovery image should I use? A small background information, I bricked the phone before with rooting procedure by the same reason and gave it back and got it refurbished. So, I am not sure but the motherboard information recorded somewhere else may mislead the Recovery Flasher application.
Thank you,
Omer

Which version of the recovery you should use is dictated by the version of your radio, not motherboard.
2.xx.xx.xx - G version
3.22.xx.xx - H version
hope it helps!

Thank you for the reply. I checked the radio version and it was 3.22.xx.xx. So, I tried the HTC version. However; The recovery manager didn't let me flash with this image. I think, I have the same situation as this post has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680793
But, I didn't yet root my device.
Thank you,
Omer

What exactly spl do you have?
Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power, post first 5 strings.
If you have 1.33.2010 S-OFF you can revert back to radio 2.22.XX.XX

This is the 5 lines.

Should I root it first or revert back the radio?
Thank you for your help.

Since you have s-off already, just download 1.33.2005 SPL and do
fastboot flash hboot 1.33.2005
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wrong forum by the way dude

But before flashing SPL, shouldn't I flash radio? Sorry to ask newbie questions but I am really lost and I don't want to brick the device.
By the way, My device is HTC Sapphire aka HTC Magic. That's why; I wrote in here. Is it wrong?
Thanks.

You have 2 methods to restore 32B radio and hboot and get ability to flash 32B-roms
Method 1.
As you wrote - you have S-OFF, so fastboot commands are allowed
You can simply run
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where:
radio.img - radio 2.22.19.26I

Unpack it from archive
recovery.img - Amon_RA Sapphire recovery 1.6.2 G version
Important: flash radio then hboot. Don't reboot after flashing only radio.
Method 2. You can use rom.nbh from official update for 32B Magics:
create goldcard
unpack rom.nbh and rename to sappimg.nbh, copy it to goldcard
flash in hboot-mode (VolumeDown + Power)
You will get 1.33.0007 perfected SPL, so you must root device next
But one thing... you have S-OFF - may be you have engineering device - so you can use fastboot commans always - it makes flash-process very easy)

5 thank you for the instructions. This is what i was looking for. If any other experienced user confirms it might work, i would like to take the risks and do the instructions then share the results.
Experienced users, what do you think?

Mmm. It's hard. All ROMs for MT3G 1.2 marked [mt3g 1.2] or something special
You must not use [32A]-marked ROMs

Thanks for that VALUABLE TIP. That's good to know also. I've noticed you have S-OFF H and I have S-ON G, is my less or what? Haven't found anywhere that could explain the configurations properly

S-OFF - it is hboot without security. It means, that everyone can use fastboot commands without any warnings.
Magics have S-OFF, if it developer or engineering device OR if hboot patched by someone
There are some patched (engineering) hboots for Magics, but not for [MT3G 1.2]
In manual to root patched hboot is using, but if you stay with it - touchscreen does not work. Don't know why.

Thanks 5. I believe I'm good now, just have to be patient and await the arrival of new ROMS for my MT3G 1.2
Appreciate all your assistance in helping understand better about my phone.

[Q] need help fixing my phone

hi sorry if this post is in the wrong place...
ok this is my problem i put a new radio on my phone 6.35.10.18 and now i can only get fast-boot working no recovery no ROM i have try'ed to re-flash with my gold card but it just crashes when it gets to installing radio my phone is a htc magic (vodaphone)

may 8 2009,21:02:32
i changed the radio with Radio Switcher v."GUI 4.1" from the forum
so i need to no if it can be fixed and also pointed in the right direction
thank you

I could have sworn Voda UK sells 32B phones. If I'm right, you just flashed the wrong radio. Find yourself a 32B sappimg and fix it.

ok tryed difrent ones just says its to old. and my goldcard with the sappimg.zip works until it starts to flash the radio (thats the sappimg i used to mod my phone in the first place) so now i dont no what to do at all. seems like it wont let the radio be flashed any ideas anyone. thank you.

Moving to General

ok this is begining to bug me now tryed to fix it for days now with no joy is there anyware i can send it to get it fixed or should i just bin it.

I have seen many with the same problem!
The problem lies in that you have wrong radio/spl combo!
To solve this you have to flash the right spl to match the radio. Then you flash the right set of matching radio and spl.
In your case that's not possible. You have a perfect spl, which will not allow you to flash anything!
So you are stock in the middle. Flash using a goldcard will result in the same thing. Whenever you try to flash a different radio, your system will reject it because of the bad radio/spl combo. That's why all your attempts failed.
The only thing you can do is to try to modify the sappimg.zip.
Make a copy of it to somewhere on your harddisk.
Using winrar or any zip tool delete the radio.img file inside the sappimg.zip.
Then try to flash it using the goldcard like you used to.
This way, you only flash the spl without radio and maybe you will have success. Just make sure that the spl is matching the radio.
Good luck

first off thank you for replying i tryed what you sead i removed the radio out of sappimg.zip and what happens now is it reads the sappimg when its finnished it just reterns back to hboot so it dont ask me if i wont to flash do you have anyoter ideas or is there some way i can get it back to the original 1.6 then just run the gold card agen to get it back to where i was befor i mesed it up with the radio witch i will defo not be putting on agen. thank you.

try this.
in fastboot mode type in a command promt:
fastboot update sappimg.zip (use the 1 without the radio)
See if that helps

hi agen tryed what you sead all i get is failed to load sappimg.zip not sure if im doing anything wrong [ c:\android-skd-windows\tools>fastboot update sappimg.zip
error: failed to load 'sapimg.zip' ]
not sure if im missing something the sappimg.zip is on root of the sdcard phone is on in fastboot mode. p.s taken the radio out of sappimg.zip

no not like this.
You must have sappimg.zip in the same folder as fastboot.
This is by default the tools folder inside the sdk bundle.
Or you can provide the full path to the sappimg.zip.
Good luck

ok i have followed what you have sead i put sappimg.zip in to tools folder and this is what i get makes no sence to me but may mean something to you.

And what is the end of this?
I need Infos please.

Well... it's only experimental.
I have noticed that some devices will accept the sapphire.zip file even if you have modified it. That's more if you only delete files from it, not add or exchange.
So the trick is to delete the radio.img making sure that the spl updates but the rest will fail... But we don't care about the rest... we only want to update the spl.
I will try it out as the last option. Remember, it's only experimental :0)

Got your PMs...
I have found a solution for your problems..
Ok... here it goes.
Download these to begin with while you READ.
https://rapidshare.com/files/454052569/2.10.531.4.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/450996411/special_sappimg.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING I WRITE.
The problem is that the device has conflicting spl and radio combo. The spl has an idea of where the radio should be and how big ect. When they are not matching the flash of a new radio will most likely fail.
To fix this problem, we need to flash a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio.
But the problem lies in the following. All the RUU/sappimg with a spl compatible with the 6.35 has a higher version than yours(starts with 3 something). If we update the version, we cannot flash the desired sappimg which follows. The goldcard will only update up in verion nr, NOT down.
Here comes the trick: I have found a special rom, which is part of a 2-part update which will not update your version nr...
Once the spl is updated and the system restarted, we can now flash any ruu we want using the goldcard. I recommend to flash one with a eng spl inbuilt like the 2.53.707.2 sappimg. But in if the device would not accept that sappimg(don't ask me why), try the 2.10.531.4.zip which is the same version as you have now.
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
4) Once the device has rebooted, you should rename the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard. This image should give you an eng spl. If you device will not accept it, then rename the other rom to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard.
5) If you indeed get the eng spl, then you have full control and we can do almost anything we want. Just post here and we can take it from there. The eng spl has the following nr: 1.33.2010.
If you flashed the stock rom, then you only need to flash custom recovery and you should almost be there... also here post the progress and we will take it from there.
Hope that you will succeed... :0)

[Q] Semi-Brick Need some Help

I tried to update my SPL to the latest now I cant boot in to my system but I can get in Fastboot and Recovery.
The info I had before was:
MyTouch 3g v1.2
HBOOT-1.33.0013
Radio- 2.22.23.02
Mod- CM6.0
Also HBOOT says Sapphire Unkown 32b ENG S-OFF
I flashed the 2010 SPL from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
I think I need a new radio but cant seem to find one.
What should I do now to get back into my phone.

So you flashed the engineering SPL, now you've got to flash the new radio and also flash a new/the stock SPL. Do you still have access to recovery? If so, download this, put it in the Tools folder of AndroidSDK, then fastboot flash it to the phone. Download this, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, and flash it. That will get you back to the stock SPL with the 2825 radio.

Can you update the fastboot info?
Just to make sure that the flash did succeed!

As he states, the tool (which is programmed by me and a newer version is to be found in my signature) is only valid if you have an eng spl or s-off.
The steps i gave is to fix the mismatch which is the primary problem now... all other solutions will be futile until the issue has been dealt with.

No one has any suggestions or ideas?
I spend many hours on the website and the interwebs and followed all sorts of tips and suggestions.
Also none of the threads with the stuck on the green splash have any resolution and concrete solutions.

Are you actually flashing the recovery, or just booting it? Try fastboot flash instead of boot.
Also you have the 3.22 radio, so you have to either change it, or use an ebi1 kernel. I would recommended finding ezterrys guide to update to 2.22.28.25 radio and 1.33.0013d spl

Several issues there... your flashing an old version of ra for the 3.22 radio to the system partition. You need to do this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And you need the G version of amon_ra recovery.
and you need to get back to an eng spl to do that...

OK well it sounds like i'm am definitively doing this wrong.
There is so much information and so many threads of doing different things, how ever i did not find one that has a complete spoon fed step by step tutorial.
STEP 1?
So download one of these from this thread

RADIO
The new froyo OTA for the Fender/MT2.1 is RADIO-2.22.28.25 This is the same 2.22.28.25 that was pushed to the 32B phones.
If you have a rooted phone and wish to upgrade you can use the safe zip file I've provided before:
update_2.22.28.25_S.zip // mirror
md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b
This will verify your system can safely install the new radio and ask you to install it.
Note: please ensure you have a backup before flashing this radio sometimes is known for some wacky things on first boot until you can get into the system and verify the clock is set correctly.
HBOOT
The new 32b HBOOT is the one you have always been using 1.33.0013
I've more recently have made a hacked version 1.33.0013d primarily for the Dream to have a larger /system size; However currently I also recommend it for 32b magic/sapphire users due to its reduced restrictions on flashing NBH files, as well as access to fastboot erase.
Since I don't think there is any nbh file safe to flash on the fender/MT1.2 the benefits of installing 1.33.0013d seem minimal on your phone.. however for advanced users, it will unlock fastboot erase. (useful for swapping roms; however most people can just use Super Wipe)
If you do wish to update to this I have a special update.zip to migrate from 1.33.0013 -> 1.33.0013d
update-1_33_0013-to-1_33_0013d_S.zip

how do i flash these?

BTW i appreciate all you help and support and if i figure it out, I will put together a detailed set of instructions for others that encounter this specific issue.

You have to get an Eng spl. Probably by flashing a sappimg with one. I'm on my phone and am too lazy to find one for you.
After that just flash recovery, radio, and hboot like ezterrys thread says.
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img (1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d hboot)
fastboot flash radio radio.img ( 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.25)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I'm pretty sure those commands are right, but they are from memory and could be spelled wrong or be in the wrong order.

I did flash sappimg using a gold card. Then i got the Vodaphone splash screen.
Then i flashed the myTouch 3g splash screen .
This is the tutorial that i followed.

How does one tell if they have the ENG SPL?
Do i have to do it again or can i just flash the hboot and radio and recovery?
