Welcome.
You have noticed that many roms identify the recovery and the phone.The problem is that with 6.35xxx radio you use recovery for Hero and you cannot flash roms like Hintay..
Here is the Solution.Only for sapphire!
6.35xxx radio
(see attachments for download)
CWM-Carz 4 Recovery(Only for H)
3.22xxx radio
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G
How to flash it:
Via adb
Root your phone using Universal androot(provided as attachment)
Install your adb drivers
Open cmd
Type:
adb push (directory wher recovery saved)/(recovery name including .img) /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su(check your phone and agree to get superuser permissions)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Via fastboot(Only if S-OFF)
Fastboot erase recovery -w
Fastboot flash recovery (directory wher recovery saved)/(recovery name including .img)
Thank you so much! I was unclear on how to do it tough ADB, Thanks again!!

On test seven, went to flash Amun ras new recovery, didn't know that flashing a recovery is broken in this so now I am stuck with a broken recovery. I tried flashing it via adb shell didn't work, you guys have any suggestions?
Flash the 2010 Engineering SPL, flash recovery, then revert to stock SPL.
Flash via Terminal Emulator. I had to do the same thing.
Guess ill do yhat. I was hoping there was another way cuz i do not like flashing an spl via anything but fastboot lol.

Download Terminal Emulator if you don't already have it.
Then follow these steps.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Do you have any access via fastboot? You could do a nandroid restore via fastboot then flash a recovery img... if not flashing an spl via goldcard method would work to let you fastboot flash a rom and recovery image.. perhaps..
I of course could be way off but I'm trying to help you brain storm.
What are the commands to nand restore via fastboot?
depends if you've done a backup via the recovery tool or the fastbooter.
If you did it on your recovery screen and it saved to the sd card you'll need to copy these files from the NAND folder in your sd card
Code:
data.img
system.img
boot.img
saved then in the /tools area of where ever you set up AndroidSDK. in my case it's /AndroidSDK/Tools/ (might be different for you)
Once that's done flashing codes are below. if you did NAND via fastbooter just use these codes.
Code:
fastboot devices (make sure it sees you)
fastboot flash system system.img
it will say Sending, then writing and say OKAY if it was successful
then type
fastboot flash userdata data.img
wait for the second OKAY and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
wait for the second OKAY and type
fastboot reboot
Hopefully that works for you.
Ah okay that was simple, idk why I didn't think of it. I'm setting up sdk on my buddies laptop right now n then I'm going to get this thing breathin correctly again.

me too, hope it works out for you. if it doesn't I'll keep brain storming with you.
I'm just REALLY trying not to go throguh the root process again lol, I think I'm just going to adb shell the SPL and then fastboot the recovery given its the easiest way I can think of.
I also just thought of the idea that you could simply do
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery (recoverynamehere)
I need to flash the ENG spl first, which I am doing right now lol.
What is the appropriate command for flashing the spl? I did this:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard/
flash_image hboot hboot.img
and via terminal:
su
flash_image hboot /sdcard/hboot.img
It said it couldn't find the hboot partition, my guess is I need to figure out what the correct partition name is.
Anybody know the command?
Heellllloo? Lol need some help here
Anyone got anything?
Fixed

I am using this website, and am at step 6. Everything up to this point has been going well, but i cannot get the recovery image to copy over. BTW I have the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img file i'm using. When I type to push the file to the SDcard, it says, the transfer failed because the file system is read only.
How do I fix this? I've restarted the phone, taken the SD card in and out, i've typed adb remount, and nothing is working.
. Open command prompt and go to the Tools folder in Android SDK that you downloaded to create the gold card.
Assuming that you have not changed the file name of the recovery, use the following commands:
cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
OK, i've got that working, now another problem...
cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
7. After the recovery has been flashed, go to the following link to download the ENG SPL for HTC MAGIC 32A (SPL: 1.76.2007)
http://www.4shared.com/file/21114537...07-signed.html
8. Now copy the SPL to your memory card.
adb push update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip /sdcard/
9. Restart your phone using the home + power key till it boots up into the recovery mode.
(or just type 'adb shell reboot recovery')
10. Using the 'Flash zip file' option from the recovery, select the SPL file from the memory card and flash the HBOOT on your phone
Now i've done most of that, but when I restart into recovery mode, it keeps on randomly rebooting even though I don't want it to. I clicked on 'flash zip file' and it just rebooted right away.
Now when I flashed the recovery, the command prompt said that it did it, BUT nothing happened on my phone, it was just sitting there and didn't say it was doing anything. Could this be a problem?
OK i kept trying, and finally i got it to go into 'flash zip file', I clicked on the correct zip file, but right after clicking the screen went black and it restarted.
Does this sound like it worked? How do I check to confirm if it worked and it's rooted?
Ok I did this, and it said ADB is already running in root in the cmd, so i think i'm good!!!
Thanks!
The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type
adb root
If it returns that adab is already running in root, then you're all set.
So as i said, i installed the sapphire recovery, but now i'm reading on the wiki page that you need the HERO recovery file. I need to change the radio, but then it is saying i needed the HERO recovery.
This is so damn confusing why can't anyone get this all straight and not have so many different and totally contradicting methods.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...agic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#6.35.x_Radios
The wiki here says to use the HERO recovery, but this thread only gives the sapphire recovery for the HTC magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Now to clarify i checked and i think i have successfully rooted, but the specs are this.
Sapphire PVT 32A ship s-on H
Hboot-1.76.0008
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I'm told i need to change the radio now before I can install the cyanogen rom, is this true?
I can't find out what to do because no one seems to talk about the 1.76.0008 spl...
Any help?
OK so more playing and more following guides, I installed the HERO recovery tool (1.6.2), and updated the radio to 6.35.10.18, changed my SPL to 1.76.2007, and have my PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H setup.
I'm confused though, because I did all of this work so I can install the lastest cyanogen rom, but it says it can't use this version of the radio... what the hell?
Someone REALLY needs to fix these tutorials to be self consistant.

follow this, got it all done, then go here to get the cyanogen mod...

What do I do now?? Do I downgrade my radio or just use a different rom?

Here is a link to a test kernel port file for CM 5.0.8 from Brian Crook. This should allow you to run CM using your current Radio. Like I say it's a test port and I haven't tried it but Brian is the one that does all the ports to the Rogers 3.x radios.
http://briancrook.ca/android/testing/
you'll need to download the file bc-5.0.8-6355-ebi1-signed.zip
You would use recovery to flash CM 5.0.8 then flash this kernel port file. After that don't forget to flash the gapps package that should be linked in one of the URL's that you already posted or you can get it here http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip
PLEASE NOTE
Do not change your radio from it's current 6.x version without flashing the matching SPL for the new radio. If you fail to flash the SPL/Radio combination correctly you WILL brick your phone.
I have rooted this device, but it is not booting into recovery mode now while holding down the home and power button.
It is stuck at the HERO screen.
I also tried to flash the recovery image using these commands.
1. Download the latest version of Amon_Ra's Recovery (1.7.0.1).
2. Rename Amon_Ra's Recovery Image to simply recovery.img & move it to the Android SDK Tools folder.
3. Toggle on USB Debugging (Settings » Applications » Development).
4. Connect the HTC Hero (GSM) to the computer.
5. On the computer, open the command prompt/terminal & navigate to the Android SDK Tools folder.
6. Type in the following commands:
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
reboot recovery
7. Amon_Ra's Recovery should now be installed on the HTC Hero (GSM).
After the reboot recovery command, the phone reboots and once again it is suck.
Any help?
Hi there,
I'll try and help as best I can...
First question has to be asked... Are you using the GSM version of the HTC Hero or the CDMA one?
2. Does your hero boot at all? Can you get to the lockscreen and use it as a normal mobile?
3. The instructions i see on AmonRA's post are slightly different from your own.
First, make sure you have at least 70% battery
Then, follow your instructions up to step 6. The final "flash_image" part seems incomplete.
You should be typing in:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hope that makes sense!
Bantu85 is right
and if you changed the name like you said in step 2 to recovery.img you should
use that name instead of recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
