How about for HBOOT-1.76.0007?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hade154:
it dont work for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
It does work. Its old news.

You are doing something wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
This works, I did it on a friend's 32A that had the 1.76.0009 perfected SPL a few days ago. This info was taken from the first post of the huge thread of people trying out methods for rooting the 1.76.0009 SPL. Good idea making a new thread, that last one was a clusterfuck and the first post had missing links lol.

BTW, you didn't need a goldcard for this? I went through the trouble of making a goldcard because the old thread's instructions included making a goldcard. That coulda saved me a bit of time, lol. And I used Cursordroid's custom 32A recovery image, so this method works with that recovery as well.

Also, typo: "Engeeneers SPL 1.76.0007" should be "Engineer's SPL 1.76.2007" :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marcimix:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
..

yea i just did this to maybe save some people from going thru the extra hours of searching :)..

yea thanks for correcting the typo btw :D

i didn't make goldcard :P.. thats why i did the long search for finding a method that didn't require me to do it :D

as i said.. just to make new thread with it and lower the search time.. that's why there was put in the Build a shrine for Orange_24 in there :D

I guys Im from Australia and I accidentally update my magic to the 3.05.861.2 rom which had the perfected 1.76.0008 SPL im am happy to say that this method actually root the spl which in favour lets you go back to either 1.33.2010 or 1.76.2007 whichever you prefer
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
:)

glad that you found my thread then ^^..

yea.. but i dont know why u should go back to the 1.33?

1.76 are for the new rom's :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] madshabz:
^^ your right its better to stay on 1.76.2007 but i decided to try out CyanogenMod CM5.0.7 and i'm loving it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
yea you are right. CyanogenMod are some very good roms. but when he removed market from his newer roms i went over and found some other roms :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbk.2k3:
Rogers

The Rogers update uses this perfected SPL correct? If so glad that a workaround has been found finally.

Question though: can I go back and forth freely? ie. if i follow the steps, root my phone, try a new ROM, and later want to go back to the Rogers update.

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
hey

yea u can go back and foward between the roms. don't know if rogers are perfected spl but if it is u have to do this every time you want to switch away from rogers :)

What are you stuck with? Did you download the android sdk?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

After you have downloaded and extracted to a folder eg c:\android, use command prompt and cd to c:\android\tools. Run "adb devices" and you should see the serial number of your phone.

hi folks... i can't seemed to flash to the euro RUU as the Magic i am using is from Asia.

I have tried to do step (6) but have gotten the below message ;

BTW, both the RA recovery and SPL files are in the sdcard root.

Any kind soul to help me out :o ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
hey

have u flashed the RUU that is in the link ? .. coz without that u cant :)..

have u installed the correct drivers for the RUU to find ur phone? :).. or what does the RUU say when u try to run it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rallilllart:
well... all was going well until the phone reboots and starts its updating of the new ROM (i assume), and prompts failure due to the new ROM is not meant for my phone which is from a different region (Asia). :(

Method I used for Rogers HTC Magic

to help the rogers folks: i had updated using the official Rogers update and thought i was stuck with the perfected SPL

I used the following method to get back my root (http://rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com/2010/04/root-htc-magic.html). follow every step carefully. then i downgraded radio and got an engineering SPL on using the following method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239)

i used adb shell heavily. it was daunting at first but once i got into it, it was smooth sailing and you build your confidence quickly (good for noobs like us)

running cyanogen 2.1 t7.

will attempt to flash the newest final release soon.

cheers.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
where are you from ? the RUU have had problems to install on the African og the asian HTC magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nick camel:
Rusty Joe

Ok. the reason I haven't root my phone yet is because of the jungle of RRU's, ROMs, PSPL, ENG SPL, Cyogen, and zips and zaps on media fire, rapid share, perople complaining about bugs in the new ROM and etc etc etc

Although this method seems to please alot of people I have some questions.

1. Is the RRU the "visible" part of the phone, I.e GUI?

2. Is it possible to install any other RRU after this (e.g go back to the official HTC Sense RRU)?

3. Do I need to backup contacts stored on the phone :-) (easy one)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
hey :)

1. RUU is both the visible on not visible :).. this one downgrades the spl og hboot to make them upgradeble to newer engineer spl again :)..

2. yea it is possible to download updates from htc again :)

3. contacts are synced with google if u have chosen it :)..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nick camel:
Tnx a bunch.

Yeah I figured the RRU was atleast partially background. I'm not that of a noob ;-)

I'll give it a go and hit back
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Actually, "RUU" is an acronym for Rom Upgrade(or Update) Utility.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nick camel:
I.e contacts stored on phone will be erased (forget google sync)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wuZheng:
Having a slight problem at the first step, turned on the Rogers Magic, plugged in the usb cable, started up RUU, but I get a

Meaning it can't contact the device or it timed out or something, anybody know what to do here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chongtzeai:
This unit I used was from HONG KONG model. So you means I cant use the RUU?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:
install htc sync and use the driver from that to your phone :)

yea it proberbly will.. this is made for european phones :(..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:

First install HTC Sync. Then try these drivers: http://www.multiupload.com/RJRAYM75A2

Start > Devices and Printers > Right click 'Android Phone' > Properties > Click 'Hardware' tab > Press the one with 'Disk drives' type > Properties > Update Driver... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk... > Pres 'Browse...' > Browse to the drivers in the folder 'Vista_x64' to which I linked above e.g. 'C:\Users\Lars\Desktop\Vista_x64' > OK > Choose 'My HTC' or whatever it shows

Seems that the drivers in Vista_x64 worked for USB/Sync/RUU connection and the drivers in USB_MODEM_VISTA works for ADB connection. ADB is changed through Device Manager (Right Click 'Computer' > Manage > Device Manager).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
First, thx for this thread, this might help me a lot.

Have the mentioned SPL installed on my magic, so I now will try to get rid of it. But:

What Version of the magic is the RUU gonna update my phone to? Is this the sense thing? I did this in january already...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
It will downgrade you to 3.05.401 with Sense UI.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
But I installed this already in january, your file is:

RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver (112'704'160 bytes)

The file I used was:

_HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver (112'132'300 bytes)

Is there a difference?

I just connected to the device with adb but get the error:

error opening /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img: Permission denied

What's that?

edit: the sd-card was connected, I'm such an idiot. Now I get: error writing recovery: Permission denied

now what?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
Just install the package. No questions asked :P

Are you on an admin account @ Windows?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
Jep... ok, I install this and will reply again as soon as I tried it.

Can you afterwards also help me quick installing the cyanogen? Don't know how this wiping is working and al the other stuff...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
Turn on phone > Use USB cable to Mount SD to PC > Copy ROM file to SD card root

Turn off phone > Turn on while holding HOME button > Select Wipe menu > Use all wipe options > Go back to Main menu > Select Flash from zip file (or something like that) > Select the ROM file > Confirm by pressing HOME

Reboot > Wait for about 2 minutes and you're done :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
And if somehow I need to reinstall the Sense UI version after I put the cyanogenmod on the magic, how do I do that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
There's a menu for NAND backup in Amon_RA's Recovery ROM too :)

Just press Backup NAND, and if you want to restore, just press Restore from the menu and you're back to basics :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
Just launching the RUU (assumed the cyanogenmod is installed on the device) wouldn't do the trick?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
I'm not sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
OK, I'll give it a try in a few hours, but one last concern: what about radio? I have radio-6.35.08.29, i there something I need to do for cyanogen oder in general?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
Your radio will work, but you can upgrade to the latest with the new Radio Switcher program (sticky thread at top of this section of the forum).

Just be certain that the ROM you are trying to install is made for 6.35.x RADIO and NOT the old 3.x RADIO. But then again you can use the Radio Switcher program to switch back to the old RADIO.

EDIT: CyanogenMod is for the old radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xcite:
I smelled that one... what ROM do you recommend?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
I've been stuck on Perfected SPL for a while, so I haven't tried them all, but I'm trying outh CapyLegend and CapySlide right now. They seem fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IstBarP:

A final (maybe) question b4 I'll give it a go. Will this procedure leave me without a UI? Have the sense ui right now (fyi).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It leaves you with a sense UI, its a htc build of a rom. After this is done you can change rom's anyways.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nick camel:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :

Big Thanks. Not only for the easy-2-use procedure, but also for the support. Awesome.

Though I have a final question... If HTC sends out a RUU... will it remove the root access???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Its up to your sevice provider to send it out, it really depends sometimes even if your phone is rooted you will still receive over-the-air updates best would to stay clear of these if you get a notifcation of a update on your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nick camel:

I still can't get past the "ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR". I've tried all the different drivers I could get my hands on but Windows won't let me use any. Apparently none of them are compatible, not even the ones I used to install the currently installed drivers with.

This is really REALLY frustrating. I just want ANYTHING higher than 1.5, if HTC would pull their god damned finger out... >:(

EDIT: Right, I ended up just using a different computer (also Win 7 x64). Looks like Windows is just being an asshole to that one computer...

Now, after all this driver bs, I get that region error code. FML. I just want to get off 1.5. ><

the difference is with that RUU "test_signed" you can root your phone aka flash with recovery image.

i got my s-off and hboot as1.76.2007 from 009

first u need to do a exact and clear gold card ... all will do problems in creating gold card becasue the memory card number wont show up in dos command .. becasue the will use -/cid instead */cid at the end .. but both will work to read the card number , then the second mistake the will do is when copy paste the goldcard number to memory card they will search the 00000170 and all .. so avoid using this becasue it wont show up in all memory card . so just go to 000000 offset line and drag it and then copy n paste write from gold card section . then ur gold card works awsome ... to create the best gold with video tutorial go to the link above i showed .. good luck . anyway i changed the splllllll lol
