Hello everyone,

First of all I'd like to thank Amon RA for the great tutorial.

Actually I have some problems to fix my SPL perfected HTC Magic (G2).

I created the Goldcard, then copied the ROM v2.53.707.2 into it. Everything seemed perfect, until I reached the 4th step "Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update."

When I reach this step, I have some lines appearing very quickly, and then everything disapears with the blue "HBOOT" remaining. Those lines disappear so quickly that I can hardly read it. The first line is "SD cheking...Loading...No image!" and so on.

It seems that something is wrong.

I tried to re-do the goldcard on a different SD Card, but the result is the same.

My HTC is French, and initially under the french telco SFR (it went a few months ago to the aftersales service). Here are the details :

Hi everyone,

I have a problem when updateing to Engineering SPL. I have HBOOT-1.33.0010(SAPP10000) and i tried to install ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010).

I created the GOLDCARD.

Added the SPL from your link (the one i metioned above).

On the phone i get messages like : No image found.

Try flashing Engineering SPL 1.33.2009 in recovery mode from this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019

I am on Voodafone UK Magic (32B board)

Before I updated my SPL was:

1.33.0007

Kept getting Do Not Allow errors while using bootloader so I flashed via recovery to 1.33.2010 from that link first then updated to the latest 1.33.0013d. All great so far!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
You don't need a goldcard, stay away from goldcards, RUUs and sappimgs if you don't know REALLY WELL what you're doing.

Download FlashRec from http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec and a recovery image (I recommend Amon_Ra's - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492 - you need the H version). Rename the recovery image to something easy to type (recovery.img) and copy it to your phone's SD card. Unmount the card from your pc, mount it back onto your phone, start flashrec, hit Backup (the second button) and wait for it to finish. Type /sdcard/recovery.img in the text box and tap Flash recovery image (or whatever the first button's called).

When it's done, copy the hboot update to your sdcard, power off the phone, hold down Home and Power and you'll soon be in Recovery mode, from where you can flash the engineering SPL.

I'm assuming you want an engineering SPL to switch to the new radio and be able to use SenseUI ROMs. If all you want is to try a stock Androi ROM (like Cyanogen MOD), stay away from flashing the SPL (hboot) until you are more experienced.

Problems with Rom? Recovery? SPL? :S

Hi all! I need some help...

After having some problems with my HTC Magic (Google) concerning FC's and UID's (BananaBread and CronMod ROM's) I decided to change my recovery (ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.7). I flashed AmonRA's recovery. After that, I couldn't install any ROM. So I decided to root again my phone.

When I root my phone, it says

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2004 (SAPP100000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.27.08

(Having flashed RA-Magic-1.2.3G recovery).

At this point I can flash CM6.

But when I flash hboot 1.33.0013d in order to install ROMs like CronMod 1.0.5, my phone says:

"SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G" (Now I see a "G" instead of a "H"... :S)

... and after installing *any* ROM my phone gets stuck at splash screen.

I think it's -maybe- a problem concerning recovery and/or the hboot flashed.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

i can't use the fastboot cmd so how can i follow your instructions.

cause my purpose is to downgrade android version to 1.5 or try some new rom but idk if my myTouch 3G is rooted or not?

and when i'm downgrading, there's a message saying "Main version is older", and in the instructions they said that i should make a gold card:)

but i can't make the goldcard because i got the "fastboot remote: not allow" message when i used fastboot cmd:|

This is for ALL perfected SPL's. I never said it's an engineerings SPL, 2006 is.

Yes of course, there are plenty of Hero ROMs around on this forum.

Both, if you're using a 32B you just have to flash a 32B radio after (see how-to root mytouch thread for more info on that).

1. Yes, it's advisable to flash to an Engineerings SPL (it depends on the SPL you now have).

2. Wipe your data before flashing another ROM!

3. Wait a few minutes when you see the animated bootlogo! (run logcat/ddms if you want to see what's going on while booting).

4. Make sure that all prerequirements are met when you are flashing a ROM, some require extra partitions on your SD, without them your device will not boot (check with the rom creator for more info).

Hey buddy, no you do not have a perfected SPL. 1.33.0006 and 0010 are perfected.

So it shouldnt be necessary for you to update the SPL, unless you really have a reason to.

However, it can be a good idea to fetch an engineering SPL since it has more open windows.

Find whichever you need here

Hi i am new to this forum but i think i have read the whole of every single post on here bout the magic and how to root the magic and switch to a Hero Rom (i used the Qtek 1.6 one).

i had (until last night) a HTC Magic on Vodafone UK with the spl 1.33.007 and apparently it didnt want to fastboot sayin "not allow" (using Amon-RAv1.2.1G) but it did work using the method off "theunlockr" video (i believe you have to have both USB Debugging and Unknown Sources ticked in order to be able to install a new rom might want to make a note on that) it worked well, ive got the rom working and everything but i am not happy with it (the Hero rom i mean) so i want to switch back (unroot) if possible but i cant seem to find the proper instructions on how to do that, they are all everywhere in different posts and dont really know which method is right and also i cant seem to find an original spl for vodafone with 1.33.007 so if someone could link me to one id be very grateful.

Unrooting your myTouch!

@ IFlip92

Here is a link to unrooting your myTouch:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

I noticed that you used the same method as I have for rooting your MT3G. Theunlockr.com seems to have the best solution for rooting/unrooting the myTouch. Sorry to here that you are disappointed in your Hero rom. I have read about a number of issues with the Hero roms: they are slow...have a number of bugs...the screen goes fuzzy upon exiting sleep mode.

If you are willing to give it a try, I suggest using Cyanogen's 4.0.4 rom. I too tried a few Hero roms and ended up ditching them all together for the Cyanogen Rom. Cyanogen 4.0.4 is fast, sleek,stable, and has an updater available in the "market". The stable CyanogenMods are great all around. Just a suggestion.

GOOD LUCK!!!

As you can see it is a "perfected" SPL, and that is a bummer for me. What SPL should I upgrade to? I see several listed on the first post and I'm not too sure - can't afford to end up with a brick.

And how does one do that again? Several instructions in posts are rather vague. I do know some adb commands and such as I have flashed several builds and that sort, but only had to do this once before on my G1. Thanks.

Once you have Amon's recovery installed, then you just:

1) Copy your choice of SPL into your sdcard

Be sure that you name the SPL file as "update.zip" in your sdcard

2) Boot into the recovery

power + home key

3) Apply the "update.zip" from the Recovery menu

4) Reboot

Some times green lines are / logs appears for couple seconds and then it comes back to HBOOT menu.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] superkikim:
So stressfull to flash the spl .... My heart was beating fast :-D but ... it worked... Thanks a lot...

I know now where my problem was... (I think).

When my phone was brand new, I used fastboot to flash a recovery. Therefore, I know it was working... But I don't remember what HBOOT was on it.

Later, playing around, I applied a sappimg.nbh from another tutorial ( don't remember which one). This image replaced my shipped imaged (with my operator's logo) with a mytouch image... And I guess, in the process, it installed a perfected SPL !!!! (0006) .... I think I had 0004 at first...

So... I would say: Do not follow blindly any tutorial unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing (I know... everybody says that around... and I guess, everybody gets in trouble for not doing it :-) )

Thank you to Amon_RA, Cyanogen and all the other major participants to the community for unleashing our precious :-D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Amon_RA:
You would need to find a ZIP/NBH that has a ROM-version higher than 3.03 and an SPL that is non perfected (meaning that it doesn't have the "Fastboot remote: not allow" error). A test-signed ROM that Operators use to test would have all this.
