downgrade clarification

I've upgraded and downgraded per these instructions several times no problem. thanks for the info. I'm currently on the new radio combo to be able to stay clear of the Rogers radio sniff test. With the limited rom choices out there for new radio I'm looking to go back to old again but to avoid the Rogers sniff test I need a specific radio.

Apparently I can be fine with this:

Hboot 1.33.2005

Radio 3.22.26.17

Recovery RA-saphire-v1.6.2H

Being that these instructions are for slightly different versions can I still follow it except using these hboot and radio versions? The other method is a long process of flashing the euro rom, flashing an old rogers rom, and then rerooting and getting this radio. I'd rather do it the easier way if I can.

BTW, cursorsense has been a great rom but I need to get back to a 1.6 or 2.1 rom. My kids continue to run CursorSense and are happy.

Any way to recover a bricked myTouch 1.2 after a failed attempt to flash this radio and SPL? I used Eyegor's Radio Changer but my phone only gives me the green splash screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
My radio changer states that it is ONLY for the OLD 32A...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
For all I knew, mine WAS an "old" one. What IS the old one then?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
The one w/o the 3.5mm jack.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
/facepalm/

Should have realized that.... My lesson learned for not reading EVERYTHING first.

Hello guys!

I've just downgraded from 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL to

Radio 3.22.20.17 SPL Hboot 1.33.2010

But Magic (32A) doesn't want to load. It shows only logo and doesn't want to boot in recovery. But can boot into Fastboot. What should I do?

Try to re-flash from SDcard? What ROM should I use? (I had Singapore Sense UI native ROM)

Thanks in advanced.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
You should flash a sapphire recovery (H) version and from there flash an OLD radio ROM.

Take Amon_RA's recovery from the sticky :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] room328:
Thanks for swift reply. I just want to clarify:

Should I flash recovery via fastboot USB mode from my PC? And which Radio is OLD for me? :) Sorry for such noob questions.

UPD. I've just flashed recovery. Now it boots into recovery. Can I just restore my Nandroid backup? I can hardly find my OLD Rom

UPD2. I've done this. I set up CM5 stable version. Seems it's working!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shakennotstirred:
my 32a would just keep crashing at the boot screen when i installed radio 6.35

any idea as to the reason?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
Did you remember to flash a ROM compatible with the new radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shakennotstirred:
im running cm5.0.7ds
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] markus3650:
The actual cm 5 release only works with the old radio (3.22), but there ports for the new radio.

Another way would be to switch your radio (i recommend RadioSwitcher).

What is the "newest" radio that is compatible with the CM 5.0.7 ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] abirkc1:
32B

I know this method is for 32A users only, but is there another way to upgrade to 6.35 Radio on a 32B?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
It's not the method thats for the 32A but the radio itself.

Help me

Hi All,

I tried update the radio and my phone don't work anymore :-(

I was flashing radio (first step) I had an error :

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

So i did flash an Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 and after reboot my phone don't work.

I can't boot into Fastboot or Recovery, any ideia how i can recover my phone ?

Thanks in advanced.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
If upgrade/downgrade, all data will be wiped?

Is there a way to backup and restore all apps easily?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] march83:
if you are referring to your operating system then no, changing the radio and spl doesn't touch the os but it will be rendered unusable due to incompatibility.

to restore apps quickly i would recommend the donate version of titanium backup
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
oh, i meant the android ROM, and then upgrade the radio.

So the first step of upgrading rom will erase everything on the phone.

The part where i upgrade the radio, and SPL will not erase anything on the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
Hmm... seems like you have bricked your phone :(

do you have a 32B Magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
You've bricked. Sorry man. It happened to me, too, twice. Upgrading radio and SPL is tricky business. I would call T-Mobile and get a replacement if you're still under warranty.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jangomes:
Yes. I'm very sad.

I bought my phone on USA but i living in Brazil. :( :( :(

How to "roll back" Magic 32B

Confused is right! - I am quite a geek, but a total n00b to Android Mods. Read through lots of pages looking for a solution, finally found this one that mentions rolling back and I am finally posting for help. Forgive me if this has been answered, I couldn't find it.

I was doing so well! I was following the Wiki on Cyanogenmod.com...

But... then I screwed up.

I FAILED to upgrade from Cyanogen's 1.4.img recovery to Amon_Ra recovery before flashing to the CyanogenMod Latest version: 5.0.7-DS

Then DOUBLE TROUBLE FAIL - I installed the

Magic 32A/EBI1 Kernel Update at the end of it... I have the Magic 32B. - After the restart I am stuck at the MyTouch green screen and get nothing - Waited an hour and a half.

Traced my steps, noticed my failures. TRYING to fix it. The Nandroid backup I made won't restore. No keyboard to use the "console" to run it manually. Tried rolling back the ROM versions in Cyangen's 1.4 to CM-4.2.15.1, no change.

Im having NO luck trying to upgrade to Amon_RA's recovery using FASTBOOT or Android SDK - ADB won't see the device and Fastboot says remote: not allow.

Hoping there is a way to roll back the kernel change as Im guessing that is the major fail. Thank you - Thank you in advance!

Update - Found [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G by Amon_RA - HOPE!

Tested without a Goldcard and get the error saying "Main version is older" or "Incorrect Model ID" (guessed as much)

Created the Goldcard and it fails to read in windows after the HxD but will run the sappimg.zip (2.53.707.3_-_sappimg.zip renamed) without the above error... however it does return -

No image or wrong image!

Once rebooted into Fastboot USB I still get <remote: not allow> and somewhere in my process I lost CM recovery.

Next step is to find another SD card and Gold it... not sure how to find the CID now though without CM. If I can get a good Gold card and hopefully I have the correct sappimg.zip... then I can move on to installing Amon_RA's recovery and updating the SPL...

Suggestions or much needed advice - PLEASE!?

Thanks!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geeboi88:
Please help!

hi okay so i figured out how to get past the "remote: not allow" thing by flashing a engineering spl. the 1.33 or something like that. so i went and typed in the command for the radio downgrade and now it's just at "writing radio." it's been there for quite a while already... does this process just take forever or did something go terribly wrong?? i don't want to touch anything or unplug anything until i have some idea of what happened.... or else i may have bricked my phone... please help!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JoeyDelp:
Bricked HTC Magic

I bricked my magic after flashing it with the radio 6.35.08.29. From what i can remember, the bootloader said writing radio then prompted me to reset my device and so i did. After that the device comes on showing a HTC logo for about 4-5 seconds after which it fades to black or sometimes green then white. It just stays there for about 30min before switching itself off.

Now can somebody please tell me how i can fix this. Fastboot(back + red button) doesn't work so please don't try suggest it. Hboot(Volume down + red button) doesn't work either. Home + red button doesn't work either.

It's a 32A Magic that used to have perfect spl on before i changed it to a flashable spl. PLease Any advice would be great. It's my dad's phone, and he had to wait a month to get it, i don't wanna tell him it's broken and that we have to wait forever to get another one

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
You probably don't have the right recovery flashed. Suggest going back to fastboot and doing the radio flash routine again and paying close attention to which recovery you use. For old radio I'm using recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yespinosa:
Did as instructed but cannot go into recovery I changed to the old spl and radio then to the new one flashed the correct hero recovery and nada have tried it 3 times and it is very frustrating to hold the home+power key to no avail.

Have I trashed my phone?

ok so I followed the instructions here to upgrade everything to try out the new ROM CursorSense 32A and all seemed to go well.

Instructions came from the threads here and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIfy0KpkGZQ&NR=1

I got as far as flashing the recovery rom - fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img and did a reboot but now I can't get anywhere.

Normal boot sits at the vodafone screen

Vol down boot goes to a black screen then gets vertical pixel lines down it and hangs.

I've tried flashing a number of different RA roms over the top of it but they all lead to the same problems.

phone now has so I think everything has worked apart from the recovery image?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Diskb0x:
ok now when I try to get to the recovery image just get the Vodafone screen. Fastboot via volume down still works though.

Just tried downloading sappimg.img and that failed with CID incorrect error.

Anyone have an idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daweeze02:
I'm having the issue as well. I have the new SPL, Radio and flashed the Hero version of the 1.70 recovery image but no matter what I can only fastboot. I have flashed it over and over but Home + Power will not take me to recovery. Any thoughts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Diskb0x:
I eventually got around the problem and have a working phone again - mostly.

I downloaded the sapphimg.nbh file off some website (searched the forum here) and copied it to the sd card. Fastbooted and it installed a bit then complained about id incorrect or something. Then I did the same thing with the dreamimg.nbh file and got a different error.

Neither seemed to work but when I checked the radio and spl versions had changed so I was able to flash a new recovery image and go from there.

The only problem I have now is my phone says "sapphire pvt 32A eng s-on h" now and it's stopping me from using flashboot.

If you get a fix for this I'd love to hear it.

GL with your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daweeze02:
I give up I cannot downgrade my radio it gets stuck at the very end. I know why my recovery is gone it's because i use the cyanogen 5.0x but I they only I option of flashing is fastboot for me and I have done it probably 20 times and it just wont get to recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Niggiebro:
HELP! ! !

I ran a search regarding this issue of not able to boot into "Recovery" after flashing SPL, Radio, and RA 1.6.2 recovery.

Any ideas why I'm having this problem? FYI MyTouch is 32A 1.2 Jack. I flash all img from your post more than 4 times now and ending up with the same results... :confused:

I also downloaded a new set of files to each attempt of upgrading...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Niggiebro:
You Know eyegor, I'm not asking to piss people off! If my question bothered you just don't say ****!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Lol dude, if you dont want to listen to advice then leave this forum.

I wasnt bothered by your post, i just wanted to answer your question. When a rom says its for 32a then its not for your device - be my guest and try one. When it says mt3g 1.2 then it is.

Just like that, the 6.35 radio is for the older 32a magic, without the 3.5mm jack.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
As far as I know there is neither a hero version of the 1.7.0 recovery, nor did cursor make a modded one.

i am using a HTC Magic 32A.

i tried to downgrade my radio to 3.22 but i probably flash with a wrong hboot and recovery.

This is what i did:

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now i tried to reflash radio, the screen blacks out after i type in:

fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img

so what should i do now?

it shows the following in recovery:

I followed the instructions, but now I'm stuck in a reboot loop. I can't enter the recovery menu without the device rebooting on me. I flashed with Engineering SPL, and then ran this (I'm on a mac):

Maybe if I flash a new ROM from the fastboot menu?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Ugh mac...hehe no idea.

You can't flash a ROM from fastboot...unless it's in the form of a nandroid backup. Maybe you should repeat the entire pocedure in fastboot...or try reflashing the recovery. Try cursordroids version as well.

Also, I repeated the whole process without success :(

What do you consider a force reset?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] koze:
I downgraded to the older radio version and reinstalled the latest CyanogenMod instead, at least I'll have a working phone :)

The reason I wanted to update my radio in the first place was because i wanted to try out the Smoki ROM, but I think I'll just wait for the official Froyo + Sense for Magic.

I would cd to the directory that

That's the SPL I use, should be fine. Personally I'd do the SPL, radio, and recovery flash just as the instructions state, just pick the versions you want such as 1.33.2010. Be sure to do the fastboot reload line and verify what is loaded before rebooting. If it isn't right then do it again.
