Rooting Magic 32B

Hi there,
I have been reading abit on gaining root access on this phone and here is my progress so far:
I have a Vodafone New Zealand HTC Magic 32B running Android v1.6 with the following SPL in the fastboot screen:
sapphire unknown 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Jul 31 2009,15:49:25
I have managed to create a goldcard and apply this engineering spl (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 - ROM v2.53.707.2) by Amon_RA in hboot.
After rebooting, the splashscreen has changed to HTC and I now have Android v1.5. Everything went well, so I thought until I went back to fastboot to check on the SPL
sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h
hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)
cpld-10
radio-3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009,17:27:03
As you can see it is now s-off h where it should be g?
And the radio is now 3.22.20.17.
I understand I have messed up by applying the wrong SPL. I tried to fastboot "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img", it hangs at the HTC magic splashscreen.
My questions:
What should one do to obtain s-off g and the appropriate radio?
Should one:
apply a different SPL, say 1.33.2004? < I think this is a google phone engineering SPL?
Or:
Change the radio following Amon_RA Revert to 32B Radio and ROM instructions?
The whole point of me gaining root access is to store applications on the sdcard and have a clean fast ROM.
Thank you all for your help.
p.s. Please feel free to move this thread to the appropriate forum if I have posted it wrongly.

You had to flash a 32A to your 32B device because you were using a perfected SPL, 1.33.0007. The next step would be to REVERT back to 32B.

Problem rooting MT3G 1.2

So I was following the directions on unlockr and I seem to be having some problems.
I downloaded the sappimg and flashed it, restarted and it hung at the first boot screen for 15 - 20 minutes. I restarted into the bootloader mode and tried to reflash the sappimg but its stuck at "[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping" and the progress bar hasn't filled at all...
What should I do? Should I try to restart and do it again or?
Also, my original info on that screen has changed, it was this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
Now it says:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP3100)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
Does this mean it flashed okay and I should just move on in the guide or?
Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: I downloaded the sappimg.zip file a couple of times and I double checked that it copied okay to the goldcard... I think the file is correct but I don't know why I'm running into problems on the first few step

My phone has been sitting this way for almost an hour... Should I just take out the battery and hope for the best or does anyone have any suggestions? It seems that it hasn't flashed anything or done anything at all since it is just saying "unzipping" without any progress... I plugged it into usb because I don't want the battery running out but I'm not convinced its charging...
Anyone?

So I gave up, restarted (by removing the battery) I can still get into fastboot/'bootloader mode' (is this the same as recovery?) and my SPL and Radio information is the same as earlier. 'fastboot devices' reveals my phone in fastboot mode so I think I'm on the right track but I just want to be sure... Should I continue on and do the fastboot commands?
EDIT: PLEASE DELETE/CLOSE THIS THREAD
Despite running into problems, I continued through the guide and it worked out perfectly.

if you phones info in hboot is
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP3100)

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
then you can proceed to the next steps..
you need the original fender/1.2 radio img , hboot/spl, and amen ra's rooted recovery... and flash them in that order 1st. radio 2nd. hboot/spl and 3rd rooted recovery...
and no hboot is not the same as recovery..fastboot its your hboot/spl

Thanks for the reply, I guess I didn't need to create a thread because I figured it out on my own. I was worried I bricked my new phone but it worked out in the end.
Thanks again! This thread can be closed/deleted.

Help, Reboot loop trying to install CM6 Mytouch3G

I am trying to install Cyanogenmod using the tutorial here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32B):_Rooting and the device can never boot.
This is a MyTouch3g 32b that was previously running the original firmware. I was able to downgrade to firmware 1.5 and get Amon_Ra 1.7.0G installed fine.
I downloaded update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip and copied to the SDcard. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything before installing that zip. Now it boots to the Cyanogenmod logo which spins for a while then freezes and repeats the whole thing again.
How should I proceed?
edit:
While trying to troubleshoot I found another page on the wiki that said I needed the updated radio so I installed 2.22.23.02 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
It didn't change anything.

That is weird. Please post full spl-info (turn phone off, then turn on by pressing back + power)

The screen reads -

It is now stuck on the initial "Mytouch 3g" screen
I have no downgraded to

Confusing a little..
What SPL-info is current now?

i'm having a similar issue. i'm trying to get cm6 on this phone for a friend. i rooted with super1click, flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G and i can get into recovery fine. i made a nand backup, flashed cm6 and it won't boot. stuck at htc slash. i had to nand restore. do i need s-off to flash a rom or flash kernel thru fastboot or something? i have not changed the spl yet for lack of really knowing what i need to do. there is little info about whether i need to mess with that to flash cm6.

I am not Magic 32b's owner, but it seems like CM6 is not compatible with hboot 1.33.0013 / radio 2.22.28.25
Try to check compatible Rom (ex. gingeryoshi or something else). Look at Htc Dream Development forum. There are some actual Roms. Htc Dream and Magic 32b have same hardware level and custom Roms (but NOT official)
I am not advising change spl (hboot/radio combo), cause hboot 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d are last hboots for Magic 32b and developers make roms compatible with these hboots.

Wrong recovery?

Hello all,
My magic data is:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
DEC 8 2009,17:38:48
and it's only running 1.5.
In the pass some guys had unlock the phone and when I go to Recovery mode it shows the recovery RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H but it freezes.
I think I know how to upgrade to a CM version (downgrade to 1.07.008, new recovery, SPL Engeneerings) but I'm a little afraid because I don't now what it was done during the unlock.
What should I do?
Can someone please help me?

Try to get root by SuperOneClick
Then flash one recovery
AmonRa 1.6.2 patched by cursordroid or AmonRa HTC Hero recovery latest
cause they are compatible with radio 6.35.XX.XX
Other recoveries (like 1.7.0 H or 1.7.0 G or ClockworkMod recovery) are NOT compatible...
p.s. Getting ENG S-OFF - good thing. On Magic32A it is easy...

[Q] can't find perfect SPL 32B

I wanted to get my magic S-OFF in order to flash a splash using fastboot, so I flashed to hboot 1.33.2010.
but now my phone is stuck at the bootscreen.
I want to revert my Hboot to it's stock, perfect SPL version but I can't find this anywhere. Most SPL's I find here are engineer versions with S-OFF.
additional information
after flashing spl:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
recovery: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan
before flasing this current spl it used to be:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
and this is what I want to restore it to. can anyone tell how to and where I can get this perfect SPL to flash it with my current recovery?

OMG, how teach users to read moreeeeeee?
Why did you flash hboot if i adviced you to flash custom ROM via custom recovery in previous topic?
Do you know that hboot 1.33.2010 for Magic 32A in general?
If you don't want get a brick - write full 5 rows of SPL-info (not only version of hboot)

I'm reading as much as I can untill I get headaches
and I did flash a custom ROM through recovery. but I wanted to get a different splash cause I'm sick of that ugly vodafone version so I changed SPL to get S-OFF for fastboot flashing.
and no, I didn't know 2010 is 32A only, guess I found out the hard way. I got this one cause it mentioned a .28.25 radio version so I assumed it right for my 32B. So I guess I did read all neccesary stuff, but I misjudged the 2010 SPL by the noted radio version.
anyway, as you asked the following information (assuming this is what you're after)

I'm searching all over the place but I can't find a SHIP G-branded hboot version anywhere.

Flash this eng version: 1.33.2005 and see if it boots normal.

1. Configure Android SDK Tools to operate fastboot.exe (utility is in Platform-tools package)
2. Search for hboot 1.33.0013d (or 1.33.0013) and unpack it if it in archive (you need .img file)
3. If you already flashed Amon Ra 1.7.0 G skip this step, if not search for recovery (1.7.0 G is compatible with radio 2.22.28.25)
4. Cause you have engineering hboot, you can simply reflash to compatible hboot
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
5. Run this command to reload
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. You can flash custom ROM via recovery now (turn phone off then turn on by pressing Home + Power)

tnx for the help so far
@ mumilover
I flashed that SPL but I'm still stuck on bootscreen. I considered it being a faulty ROM after the SPL mess so I superwiped twice, wiped Dalvik-cache and reinstalled the Yoshi Froyo MM1 ROM, but the problem persists.

@5[strogino]
I'm able to perform all the steps you posted. Only I can't find the correct hbot.
the only one I found is a 1.33.0013b version wich has a 2.22.27.08 radio. And I don't think my current ROM is compatible with that radio. found the hboot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Does SDK platform-tools house SPL/hboot images? if so I can't find them.
a side not; I managed to change my splash screen (wich caused the whole mess ) Don't suppose that's causing the bootstuck problem?

Yes. This is right thread and it contains 1.33.0013d (as i adviced)
1.33.0013d is compatible with 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25, so don't worry
About platform-tools - you need working fastboot.exe utility, to do flash
Your main problem is that you have hboot/radio mismatch. Even you on 1.33.2005 - you are not able to use Yoshi ROM.
Your goal:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)
RADIO-2.22.28.25
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
These hboot and radio are fully compatible with Ginger Yoshi or ezGingerbread.

do you want me to specifically use fastboot to flash? I can use my custom recovery aswell, it still works like a charm.
I indeed want the SPL configuration you listed as my goal. Only the hboot I'm about the flash (1.33.0013d) will be with radio version 2.22.27.08.
are Yoshi ROM or stock ROM compatible with that radio? I made a nand backup of stock ROM just in case

[SOLVED]
end result:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)
RADIO-2.22.28.25
Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27
recovery: remained intact: Amon-RA v1.7.0G
ROM: Yoshi MOD MM1
First I flashed the radio, wich actually wasn't neccesary cause it remained the same. Then I flashed the hboot.
Good to know for other ppl, I flashed the images only, so not the zip. I flashed the hboot as last cause it disables fastboot flash method.
Then I booted to recovery, superwiped, factory reset-wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik-cache, reboot to recovery and flashed Yoshi MOD.
al works good again. The best part is, I got my custom splash screen but I think there are more subtle methods to accomplish it. I guess you wouldn't want to get S-OFF unless is absolutely neccesary.
Tnx 5[strogino] for the help, I apreciate it.
