Hi all,

I thought I would start a separate thread for everyone to get the proper instructions on how to upgrade to the new 6.35 radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.

Too many people are confused on the directions for upgrading. I want people to be happy with modding their phones, not angry with me. :)

If followed exactly, these directions will help with the issue a lot of users are having.

THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!!

IMPORTANT NOTES (THANKS XAUEIOUS!)

Upgrade to 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL

Prerequisites:

- HTC Magic / Sapphire 32A

- Engineering SPL

----- 1.33.2005

----- 1.33.2009

----- 1.33.2010

----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.

----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.

- Working ADB/Fastboot Drivers
