Perfected SPL Question

Hi there,
i managed to root and flash cyanogenmod to my vodafone magic 32b and wanted to flash another splash screen which eventually failed. I found out that i have a perfected spl (1.33.0006).
Now, shouldnt this prevented me in the first place from flashing another rom and can I just flash another spl on my magic since i already have recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img running?! If so, can i take any spl or do i have to take a spefific version for my magic?

Sorry, I don't know that answer to your question but I have one for you!
I'm on the same phone (apart from i'm on HBOOT-1.33.0004), did you just flash Cyanogen like any other rom (like a hero rom for example)?
I have had hero roms but want to switch to Cyanogen and want to know if I just flash like any other.
Thanks! And sorry for hijacking your thread!

ok, i was bold and flashed Crios_SPL_1.33.2004 via recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img.
It now says
sappihre pvt 32b eng s-off h
hboot-1.33.2004 (sapp10000)

Thanks for the link Smurf!
When I try and do the part when it says 'click back up recovery image' I get 'back up failed, could not run command'
Did you get that?!

Sorry, my mistake, got it working now.
There doesn't seem to be a keyboard though?!

Basically I didn't! I think that is for someone who is upgrading from a previous version.
I just wiped then flashed the HTC update, then flashed the rom as normal and it worked.
Although I have no bloody keyboard!

Is this Magic already rooted?

Hello.
I bougt a used HTC Magic phone, and i have no idea if its already been rooted.
Here's the intel from the Power+Back function.

If it's not rooted, is it partly rooted or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not the SPL that has root, it's the rom you are using ... so we can't tell from the fastboot information you posted. Most rooted roms have the superuser app installed .. do you have that?
If not you could try searching for 'root' in the market, and download an app that requires root (like PicMe). If it works, then you have root!

I wasn't as lucky as i were hoping for, unfortunatly it has not been rooted.
Do i have a "Perfect SPL"? If so, should i just drop trying to get the MyHERO ROM installed?

i have a perfect spl and installed myhero on my mytouch no problems.

What resources did you use?
I'd be really happy if you could provide some links or something

To root that having that SPL, you will have to use goldcard method...

what? i rooted useing cyanogen's tutorial with flashrec, and I just flashed the myhero rom after wiping in recovery... same as normal..
my SPL is the .0006 perfect one
oh and also my magic is 32B mytouch

Is the only way to get a HERO ROM on this phone using a goldcard? Or is it possible to flash a new SPL and use a custom rom without a goldcard?

There's no need to use a Goldcard, even with a perfect SPL, if you just want to flash a new ROM and gain root. If you want to use fastboot at all, then yes, you must flash a new "imperfect" SPL.
Follow Cyanogen's guide here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

Pixelkid, I also have a danish Magic and had the same SPL a few weeks back. I used the goldcard trick from this guide. Why don't you want to use a goldcard?

bought a mytouch

I just bought a myTouch 3g.
I have a G1.
Is there anything special I need to know about rooting this phone, and what would be the fastest 2.1+ rom to use?

We'll its really going to depend on your fastboot info (what SPL/radio your using) then you can go from there. The Androot method seems to be the now easiest method and from what I've read has a high success rate. You'll need to get your fastboot information then you can start searching. The answers to your questions are out there. The biggest thing with having the 3.5mm Jack is the ROMs available for it. There aren't many so your choices are limited.

Right.
So if I got the one WITHOUT the 3.5mm jack, I have more options then? okay.
Now, on the G1 some roms require a custom SPL. Is this the same on the MT3g?

In most cases, no. The original MT3G (no headphone jack) is one of the easiest phones to root, which is kinda awesome. Download universal androot, then rom manager, flash the recovery and then install roms as usual. Way easy!

@can teh man
You NEED to post your information before you can get anyone here to help you.
All that we know at this point is that you have a MyTouch without the 3.5mm jack. But did you know that there are still different versions of your device? If someone gives you instructions (or reference to instructions) that is not meant for your device then you might end up with a broken phone. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS!
Your next post in this thread better be with useful information to properly identify your device or I will delete this thread.
When your device is powered off hold down the volume button while pressing power. It should take you to a white screen. Post ALL information that you see on that white screen here in this thread and then we can help you.

I don't think he's actually got the phone yet. I think he was just trying to get a jump start on getting it rooted once he does. I could be wrong though.

I've got it rooted and I've got Rom Manager, Amon Ra [32B] installed... what do I need to know about radio and SPL for this phone?

I have same phone as u. U have new radio. I flashed 2005 eng spl to mine to get s-off. Fastboot purposes. Use amonra 1.7.0. Just make sure whatever u flash is for 32b. Most Roms for it will be in g1 section. Check the sticky section. Will have spl if u want Eng spl and list of roms. Try them out.

I have AMON RA 1.7.
Is the SPL the reason why I can't use fastboot?

Yeah the S-ON means your SPL has security on which keeps you from running any remote fastboot commands from your computer. If you've already got AmonRa loaded on your phone your good to go and wont need to mess with your SPL/radio. Just start flashing ROMs.

Right on man, I couldn't find the right SPL for my phone. Thanks!
Now I know people have had trouble getting the trackball flashing to work... Does anyone have a suggestion?
I'd like to keep CM6, but I'm willing to revert to a 1.5/1.6 rom if need be.
