Sapphire Unknown 32A ENG S-ON

HBOOT 1.33.2010

CPLD-13

Radio 3.22.20.17

Recovery is Amon Ra's 1.7 (H)

In hboot:

Not unzipping sappimg.zip

In flashboot:

Not verifying signature for the radio (or hboot or recovery).

Not entering into recovery.

Prior issue: remote not allow.

In recovery:

Not finding the SD card (last time I was able to go into recovery, which in think was before flashing the SPL hboot.img for 1.33.2010 [from theandroidkitchen])

Tried to flashboot boot hboot.img for 1.33.2009 (shuts phone off, battery needs to be removed and replaced for phone to restart).

It's been a week w/o a phone, and prior to this I've had 0 experience with this process. :confused:

BTW, I am trying to get (wireless) wifi tether, if that makes a difference in what to use.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
First of all, you need to tell us what the actual problem is. Is it still booting? Then, does it have a 3,5mm audio jack? If so, you've got the MyTouch LE/1.2, which might need a different radio/spl combination.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skoullias:
By booting, do you mean does the phone enter into normal operational mode? If so, it does not. When holing down the house key, it will not bypass the "HTC Magic" splash to enter into recovery to finish the process by flashing the update on the sd card. When not holding down the house key, it will not get past the same splash either.

And the sappimg.zip seems to extract/update sometimes, but last night it wasn't.

Also, yes, my phone is the version w the 3.5mm jack.

Any recs on what radio/SPL combo to use?

Is this thread the best place to be asking these questions?

I'd be happy to pay someone to walk me through this process. Please feel free to email me @ skoullias@gmail.com.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Following the tutorial at http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ should get your phone back to a working state. Have fun :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skoullias:
Thanks keinengel.

This is where I, as I suspect many others have, started. Since I can no longer boot up my phone, I cannot follow the unlockers steps to format the microSD from the phone, which is the very first thing along with setting up ABD to get a working goldcard with a working sappimg file.

Any other suggestions to get this phone back in working order (short of having to get a gold card from someone else's phone, which I wouldn't know how to go about)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Okay, boot your phone in fastboot by holding down "Back" and pushing "Power". Connect the phone to your computer and enter the following command:

fastboot enableqxdm 0

That should switch your phone to S-OFF, allowing you to flash from fastboot. Now flash the stock Fender spl and radio from unlockr it *should* boot again.

Oh, and you're using the wrong recovery image, you need to use the G version, since your phone uses a combination of 32B radio and 32A SPL.

WARNING I own a 32A Magic without the audio jack, which means I have not tested this and can't guarantee it'll work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebAsh:
I'm hoping someone is able to answer relatively quickly so I don't have to wade through the hundreds of posts in this thread.

I have the HTC Magic PVT32B (Vodafone/Google branded, sold in NZ).

The SPL/Radio is stock.

I've recently flashed to CM 5.0.8, and I'm having huge battery drain issues; up to 90% of my battery in a day can be lost to "Cell Standby" and "Phone Idle" together.

First question is; will flashing the SPL/Radio fix any issues related to battery drain for those two things? Or is there any other advantage to doing so?

Second question; am I safe to flash the latest (Engineering SPL 1.33.2010) of those SPLs/Radios without damaging/bricking my specific phone?

Third question; will it wipe/modify any of the ROM partitions meaning I will need to reflash CM afterwards?

Thank you in advance - it will otherwise take me hours to flick through this thread and find the answers I need.

I'm more than willing to document more of this sort of information into the hacking wiki page if I'm directed to the right information to be able to compile it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
1. No; the only advantage is that you will be able to flash things from fastboot, for example another SPL or a splash screen.

2. Most people flash 1.33.2005 to their 32B phones but it is ONLY necessary for the G1, not mytouch3g!

3. Make a nandroid backup and you are safe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ehb224:
It IS necessary on a MT3G if you want to be able to fastboot since the stock 1.33.0006 and later are perfected (fastboot remote not allowed).

While it is true you can root such a phone and run different roms without changing the SPL and even change the boot screen once you get a custom recovery like Amon_RA loaded not having the ability to fastboot the phone does leave you open to the possibility that you can get your phone into a state that you cannot recover from. Just look at the large number of people that had difficulties with the Cyanogen Éclair builds and the problems of flashing recovery without fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] exiva:
Can anyone tell me which SPL I should flash to my MyTouch3g 1.2 w/ headset Jack?

Radio-2.22.23.02

Looking to get an engineering SPL on here just incase something goes wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Haha, you make me laugh. Yes if you want advanced features, such as fastboot then it is necessary. But if all you want is a custom ROM then no, you do not need it like the g1 does.

Oh btw, they could have flashed a SAPPIMG.nbh throught fastboot without an engineering SPL. Sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
The mt3g 1.2 does not work with an engineering SPL (at least not fully). That is why you revert to stock when rooting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ehb224:
If you are going to play around with roms then it's debatable if fastboot is an 'advanced' feature. IMHO, it is more of a necessity.

Also, isn't it hboot that checks the SD card for SPPHIMG.nbh and not fastboot, which is a different menu? (correct me if I am wrong on this)

You don't even need it on the G1, You can downgrade and use flashrec to flash a new recovery and rom (1 click root) and with the script that Firerat came up with for creating custom partitions you can even run roms that require the Danger spl (which is nothing more than the 1.33.2005 spl from the magic that happens to work on a dream.) but if you are going to play with that you better have an engineering spl so you can fastboot remote just in case something screws up. As someone who started working in the computer industry in the 70's, before Microsoft even had DOS and only had a buggy BASIC and an addon CPM card for Apple ][ computers to sell and Linux wasn't even conceived I can tell you that if something can screw up it will!:eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Actually it's the same thing.

But like you said. Even the g1 does not need it anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ehb224:
Doesn't need the "danger" spl to run most roms but this has nothing to do with fastboot abilities. The main reason the g1/dream needed the danger spl was to give it more memory to fit a larger rom than that device originally allowed for (such as the Hero roms) at the expense of /cache. Having an engineering spl (not the same at all as "danger death, Haykuro" aka 1.33.2005 magic spl, since there are engineering spls for the dream/g1 that are not "danger death Haykuro") is still a good idea so you can fastboot. Being able to remote fastboot really gives you control of you phone and allows to to recover from bad or wrong flashes much more easily.

Think of it as insurance for you phone. You might never need it but IF you do you are glad you have it!

Use the search option or google...

There is even an auto root option available..

Good luck hunting!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hanneskitz:
Sure - I understand that there are a lot of solutions in this forum. But there is no single one with HBOOT-1.76.0008. If I can take any solution of other HBOOTs - than it's ok for me...

Hey guys,

I have a rooted MT3G 32B with SPL 1.33.0006 running CM5 with Amon 1.7

I want to change my SPL to an engineered one in order to use fastboot and change the splash screen. Some threads have mentioned goldcards and some threads have mentioned simply using adb push. Which method can/should I use? I'm going to put on SPL ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)

Thanks for any help!

edit: Heh, I just read another thread saying that I could just flash the zip from recovery and then people confirmed that it worked for them. Is that true? I'm just trying to minimize my chances of bricking my phone. Too broke to buy another :D

I flashed from SPL 1.33.0006 to 1.33.2005 (found in the beginning of this thread) using Amon_RA 1.7.0 to flash. Only caution, don't try 1.22.2004, it doesn't work on the MT3G! Main reason I flashed is in my earlier posts. I wanted to be able to fastboot remotely and 1.33.0006 is perfected but you can still do a 1-click root with it.

BTW, I have also flashed new boot animations many times with 1.33.0006 SPL by flashing from recovery.

It's just a whole lot safer to be able to fast boot in case anything goes wrong!

Call me thick, but what do I gain from changing to ENG SPL? and how do I know which is the one for me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tnpapadakos:
The Engineering SPL is a custom SPL installed in devices intended for Android development. It has existed since before the launch of the G1 and is now available to the general public as preinstalled on the Android Dev Phone 1, the official development device sold by Brightstar Corp. This SPL, in addition to flashing signed NBH files, can also flash nand dumps through the use of the fastboot protocol (as defined in the legacy bootloader documentation). This is a convenient way to flash the mtd partitions and can be greatly useful in the event that an undesirable build of Android is advertently or inadvertently installed.
