[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
And where do I get such an SPL, in this thread there is only the 1.33.2005
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dferreira:
Use 2004, worked perfect for me.

And what was your initial spl?

Hi, is it possible back to original SPL. Is this right original SPL for me - http://rapidshare.com/files/267475617/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2009-signed.zip? Can it be risky?

successfully flashed Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 to HTC Magic 32A :D

Hi All,

I had just flashed SPL 1.33.2005 to HTC Magic 32A as I want to flash

Amon_RA's recovery rom RAv1.2.1H to my phone.

I flashed the SPL first the way i flashed ROM.

and then I followed the instruction in this to flash recovery image to my phone permanently

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

:D

Because USB driver on Windows 7 is not working properly when I wanted to flash a ROM.

Now I can go into fast boot by Home + Power :D

Now I just need to put the ROM i want into SD card and flash it right away :D

Thank you all. You guys ROCK!!!!

Cheers,

Hi,

I have the original hboot.img of the HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10 SPL, but I don't know how to sign with the correct certs.

I have sign with my cert and when I do the update the recovery says "signature failed".

How can I sign the SPL to make an update.zip?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ultraMX:
I was searching for it sooo long...

You don't have to sign the hboot.img. You have to make an update.zip with the right update script. Then, just sign it with testkeys and flash it with a custom recovery.

//EDIT: Could you send me a PM with a Link to the hboot.img? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] porzino:
Hi,

Can you send me the testkeys to sign it and make the update.zip?

I don't have the keys (I have never download the source). If all is OK I will upload the update.zip :)

EDIT: Yes, yes. I only sign the update.zip with the hboot.img and the install script, not the hboot.img file.

Hello guys

Im currently running LeeDroids 2.1a ROM + launcher pro, but i have a following problem that could appear on other ROMs based on the same build? well anyway, sometimes when I receive a message the phone doesnt react at all, theres no notifications no vibration nothing, is anyone else having similar problems in any froyo roms?

thanks
[Desire General] ringer13:
i found that using the stock messaging app, when you leave it open and lock your screen, new messages dont vibe/ring. you have to exit back to your home screen/another app for the messaging app to ring or vibrate.

i downloaded chompsms however and it will ring/vibe no matter what, so i prefer using chomp
[Desire General] cez10:
thanks man will have to try that not a big fan of chomp but oh well as long as it works they wont complain
[Desire General] th3:
Yes, I have it on HTC 2.2 with root too. Handcent or the stock app, both fail to notify until I go in and see new messages. It's not frequent though but at least once a day.

of people who dont speak english naturally, yet have the patience to learn such a difficult language. im always impressed and flattered by foreigners who speak incredible english with great grammar and sentence structure, especially when people like me who have trouble getting the rules straight when we already should know them. what makes learning english even more incredible is that there are over 1,000,000 words in the english language (most arent used anymore but they still can be). german comes in at a very distant second place with just over 300,000 words. and most english words have at least five other words that mean the exact same thing. random english words fact: there is no single word in english for "the back of the knee". anyways, its great to hear people speak english as their second language. so, kudos (slang for "congrats") to all you non english speaking people who have the incredible patience to learn something that does not come naturally to you. i do hope to learn german one day, because i have family in germany; and maybe even learn russian too. again, thanks to all aspiring linguists around the globe.

p.s. sorry if i use words that are big/fancy. i have a bad habit of doing that. :o
[Off-topic] shoemeistah:
Thank you, I feel flattered as a foreigner and I think my decent english is due to watching a lot of television. Like talk shows and movies. Actually imo english is easier to learn than dutch or french etc. because most foreigners grow up with hearing english stuff around them. This almost never the case in England nor America. It's just the universal language, so there's less need to learn extra languages.

I´ve learned as a second language due to my mother is teacher/translator English/French.

Remember when I was a kid watching the movies in English, even if I did not understood a single word.

I consider I speak quite well (much better than my writing skills:D)
[Off-topic] winmofreak:
Dude, there are absolutely no errors in your English. God I wish I was that linguistically skilled. English is that common in other countries? I never would have guessed that. By the way, I absolutely love Europeans. I think they are the most pleasant people to be around (at least I think they are). I've only been to Europe once, but my dream is to visit every country in Europe. There is just something so wonderful about Europe. Anyways, you Europeans keep being awesome!!!
[Off-topic] Captainkrtek:
For example my mother moved to the US from the Czech Republic in the 80's, she grew up around many other languages and now speaks 9 (I cant name em all if i tried). And All 3 of her children (myself included) speak English to her, English for her is a second language but we speak to each other easily and she even thinks in multiple languages now. I have a lot of respect for her :)
[Off-topic] lissile:
It's not just in Europe and the US where English is the 'universal' language! Don't forget us down under (eg. Australia and New Zealand). I never realised how hard English would have been to learn until I did French in Year 12, especially given that English technically my equal first language. I speak Cantonese at home, for those who are interested. It's a real shame that, in Australia, another language isn't something that it required to graduate from high school (college in British and American English?) though. It's amazing how some people can speak so many languages. I wish I had that ability... And or patience.
[Off-topic] Bodisson:
Thank you. It's not so hard if you're using it for some 30+ years... ;)

And you must remember that main language used in computers is english... so anyway I had to learn it better when I selected my profession... which originally was computer programming. :D
[Off-topic] gullum:
For me English in my 3. language. We have our own language in the Faroe Islands that is only spoken by some 60-70.000 people in the whole world. Our 2. language is Danish. But TV is the main reason that mostly everyone in the Faroe Islands speaks English quite good. My son is 3 years old now and has already started learning some English. All the cartoons he gets to watch are in English.

Great idea

Awesome idea, I like it, just a little concerning for noobs if a file is renamed as NEW instead of OLD it could cause a brick and vise versa

For those using this please follow the instructions provided carefully, and rename the correct readio/SPL to the correct names, Yes I know sounds simple enough.

Awesome work, might give it a try to revert to old radio to try the latest cyanogenmod ROM :D

and just wanted to suggest to include the Radio/SPL file combo's in the download to create a full package and simplify things even further.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I did include them all in the download link :) (I've made it more clear in the OP) The reason why i also provided just the batch file is cause some people might prefer using their own radio/spl/recovery combo :)

BTW, the new Cyanogen is simply amazing. It is as fast as 1.6/1.5! I'm currently running it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lubu63:
Very useful but it returns me an error:

"CHOICE: invalid choice switch syntax. Expected form: /C[:] choices"

and then asks for installing the NEW radio

What's wrong ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Did you press either 1 or 2 and NOTHING else?

I've tested it again, if i press any other number the computer beeps. You can only select 1 or 2.

The options work fine for me.

/c[:] "choice" sets from which values you can choose. in this case its 1 or 2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lubu63:
It just start with the error as soon as i run it, no menu and no way to choose between the two option even pushing 1 (or 2) while starting the batch.

I guess you have Vista/7; it must be something wrong with XP, I will let you know....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
yes, i wrote it under win7...but it has to be compatible.

try downloading it again...

ill make a version in xp later today if you cant get it to work :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lubu63:
I've tested it on other machines running XP with the same result, and works as it should on the only PC running Vista I have at the office.

ah ah, it's kind of amazing, it's the first time Vista does something better than XP ;-)

I think it depends on the different choice files in the two system (choice.com in XP - choice.exe in Vista)

Don't worry about me, I will revert to old radio step by step (I'm just courious to try the new Cyanogen 5 since the Hero update to 2.1 is still late)

Anyway, it will be a very useful tool for many people, so I hope you to succeed in get it working in XP too (of course if other people has the same errors in XP).

Thank you eyegor

SOLVED

choice.com (XP) and choice.exe (Vista) have different syntax (poor MS customers). I've made some testing and found:

Vista (as in your batch): CHOICE /N /C 12 /M "Press "1" for the OLD radio, or "2" for the NEW radio"

to get it working in XP must be translated to:

CHOICE /N /C12 "Press 1 for the OLD radio, or 2 for the NEW radio"

and, yes, this is sooo stupid IMHO ......... blame MS once again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Ill provide an xp version later today...or tomorrow if i dont succeed today..:-)

[EVO 4G General] EindhovenOne:
Hello, all. I have seen this on a few other sites but I couldn't find it here, and if it has been posted here then I apologize in advance but please know that I don't take credit for this idea, I just wanted to share my modification and post instructions on how I did it because I honestly believe it came out perfect!

To achieve what you see in the pictures below, all you need is some 400 grit sandpaper, some compressed air duster, and some patience. Also, make sure you have a case opener tool and a T-5 torx bit to take the phone apart. Once you get everything separated, just go to work on the black paint with the sandpaper. I used 1x1 inch squares that I cutout from a large sheet; it only took five squares to complete this. Just be patient and use a pen or similar small tube to wrap the sandpaper around to get into the curved areas with ease. Take your time, it is well worth the wait. Once you are all done, take a fresh piece of sandpaper and go over the whole thing quickly one last time, then with a slightly damp cotton cloth wipe away the dust to get that deep red color back and use the air duster to remove the particles. Put everything back together and enjoy!!! The look is totally clean and smooth and so damn sexy! I am going back to my clear case from my otter box just to show it off. I don't think I left anything out but just post any questions and I'll get right back to you.

Once again, thanks to everyone who did this before be and gave me the inspiration. I really think this is the best way to go about it...no chemicals, no razors or blades, no dremel tools. Just some up close and personal TLC with some really really fine sandpaper.

Good luck and post some photos of your results!!!
[EVO 4G General] walkerwde:
Wow that looks awesome!!!! I'm going to buy sandpaper tomorrow.
[EVO 4G General] EindhovenOne:
Don't forget to post pictures of your results! I can't stress enough, take your time and it will be worth it. It took me about 90 minutes to get it all done but I am very OCD when it comes to my gadgets lol. Your time may vary, but stick with it and go slow! Thanks for the kudos!!!
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Looks really good, but im afraid about my warrenty, I dont think the sprint store would believe me saying it was a EVO LE or something like that.
[EVO 4G General] mizzos4:

[EVO 4G General] dwntwnall4u:
VERY nice!!! I'll have to do this to my EVO. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
I wouldnt want to lose my warranty over this. Just make sure you replace the warranty tape that goes over the torx screw and they will never be able to prove anything. Just tell them it came like that lol
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
Will try this soon but im kinda scared but looks good but do you get any cratches on the phone???
[EVO 4G General] EindhovenOne:
If you didn't take the phone apart I would think scratches on the rest of the phone would be impossible to avoid, but when you take the phone apart and are holding only the red frame in your hand while sanding then the rest of the phone isn't affected whatsoever and as you can see in the pictures there are no scratches left on the red part afterwards. On the advice of another XDA member, I am actually going to go over the whole thing once with some 1000 grit sandpaper just to see how, if any, the look improves. But as it stands now, using the 400 grit sandpaper doesn't leave any marks and it looks great!
[EVO 4G General] jhgti:
Has anyone done the white one?
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
Umm there are a ton of people here on xda who have done this already...there is a huge thread about it in the general section. Mine has this look too. But it looks good!

[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
Red scratch mod looks super sexy.

Unfortunately, it's completely irrelevant to me.

I cannot use the phone without a case, since the camera lens is easily scratchable. At the same time, no one has come up with a battery door design, which is as thin and nice looking as the stock, yet has a raised lip to protect the camera (clear battery is kinda pos from pictures).
[EVO 4G General] EindhovenOne:
Success100...I searched a bunch on different times using different keywords but couldn't find it...can you link it here, sir?
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
i love the look from this mod. i did it as was suggested in the first thread that popped up...scraping the paint off with a razor blade. i did it over a period of a few days to take my time...still, there are marks if you look really closely.

so now i'm going to try taking it apart and doing the sanding. my dad swears to make it smooth i need to get 2000 grit wet sand paper...that sounds high compared to what i've read on here (i know nothing of sand paper and sanding!:o)

anyone wet sanded theirs and had a good outcome?

can you share the info on how to take it apart without breaking the plastic? (always my concern)

thanks:D
[EVO 4G General] EindhovenOne:
As it turns out, I took the advice of that other member and did wet sanded mine again today using 1000 grit Wet/Dry paper and it came out amazing! I am sure that 2000 grit will do just as well.

My advice is just to wet the tip of your finger a few times and just rub it around the rim of the plastic and use the same amount on a little 1x1 inch square of the sandpaper. Then just keep working it until you get what you want. I was already so excited with the outcome of the 400 grit because there really weren't scratch marks or anything, and then the 1000 grit just kicked ass!

As far as the plastic cracking concern, once you remove the torx screws, with the innards of the Evo facing you, start the case separation in the lower right corner and go up from there. It isn't that much force needed to separate the case so don't worry too much, sir!

POST PICS!!! lol...good luck and enjoy
[EVO 4G General] Indiana Jones:
Good work!

i cant stress enough using the right paint on this project. You have to get a paint that bonds to the plastic well to prevent chips. also,

try to use the least amount of paint possible

high gloss paint will make your hand sweat

do research on paint used to mod xbox360 controllers. if the paint handles that it'll handle everything.

that RED evo looks sexy!!!
[EVO 4G General] EindhovenOne:
Indiana...there is no paint used for this modification, sir. We're just removing the black paint that is existing to reveal the red ABS plastic that is the actual molded color underneath. Even still, if you are going to paint any part of your Evo to modify the color, that is definitely good advice and I thank you for that as well as the compliment on how it looks, sir.
[EVO 4G General] luiggipr:
no paint? so.. black paint is over the original "red" plastic??? just to sand it ? cool... ill will try it on mine that is close to be replaced by warranty for some screen issues. TKS
