[32A][HOW-TO] Upgrade to 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL (Downgrade/Revert too!)

cursordroid · Dec 23, 2009

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!)

For everyone who is flashing to 1.76.2007 and getting S-ON in their HBOOT,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=643291

They should know that they need to use the command "fastboot enableqxdm 0" to get S-OFF back with that SPL. This information should go in your SPL + radio update post.

Also, ezterry and lbcoder confirmed the reason of SPL+radio flash bricks, and is suggesting a way to flash the SPL+radio to avoid bricks. :

In short, wipe the system and boot partitions in addition to recovery, and end with the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

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
- Basic knowledge or modding your phone

You will need:

Notes:
- This Radio and SPL is only for the new Sense UI ROMs (CursorSense32A)
- The Hero recovery is required for the new radio. The Sapphire H (Magic 32A) recovery will reboot after a few seconds.
- To select items using the Hero recovery, you need to use the green Talk/Send key on your device. The trackball select key will not work.

Steps:
- Download the files above onto your computer. Save them in the same folder (C:\AndroidSDK\Tools for example)
- Turn off your phone
- Power it on into recovery (hold Home and press Power)
- Run a full nandroid backup (optional, but recommended)
- Turn off your phone
- Power it on into FASTBOOT mode by holding Back and pressing Power
- Plug in a USB cable. you should see FASTBOOT USB on the screen
- From a command prompt, navigate to the folder where you saved the files above.
- Type in these commands:

Code:

fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader

- Your phone will reboot back into FASTBOOT.
- Verify that you now have the 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.

CONGRATULATIONS! You can now flash the CursorSense32A ROM!

There will be other ROMs soon that use this Radio and SPL. It's just a matter of time.

Upgrade from 6.35.07.29 to a new version

You can upgrade radio version from 6.35.07.29 to 6.35.08.29 or 6.35.10.18 without wiping, reflashing or losing any data.

- Download the radio image
6.35.08.29
6.35.10.18
- Save the radio update.zip file to the root of your SD card.
- Boot into Recovery mode, using Home and Power and apply the update like you would any other update.zip file.

Great work

Well done Cursordroid
These instructions were great, the old ones forgot about the send button to activate in recovery and the reboot-bootloader at the end was helpful.
Thanks

myx4ever · Dec 23, 2009

cursordroid, you have my eternal respect

Thanks a million for your support and for this thread also. I think I've read every single thread here in order to get familiar with android and what the hell is that I'm doing.
Nice job. Also, thanks everyone who is working in order to deliver high quality roms and apps.

deeaz · Dec 23, 2009

Thanks.

Thanks main

, i have flashed Radio and spl now. waiting for flashing to CursorSense xD

emin3sku · Dec 23, 2009

Hi
Maybe a verry a dumb question....but i want to ask it anyway.
I was wondering if there is another way to update the radio and SPL.
I only have Windows 7 and as far as i know there are some little problems with htc drivers and android sdk and i really don`t want to brick my phone.
Can`t we update them with Amon RA`s recovery just like we do with a new rom? (by pressing power and home button and renaming this files to update.zip and apply them?)

I did most of this from Windows 7 the first time I flashed.
You don't have fastboot mode with Windows 7?

emin3sku · Dec 23, 2009

That is a good thing to know (that we can update radio and SPL under Windows 7)

I will search for adb and drivers for my Magic and then ...... CursorSENSE 0.8

Only one question:
I have

When i flash your radio,some error come.

Now,i found the way to slove this problem.
If your SPL is 0009 S-ON,you must update it to Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 first.
I fount the SPL here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019

cursordroid: Is there any advantage in using the upgraded radio?

(Other than to run your ROM) Thanks!

Update: Sorry about it. didn't read closely the first time round.

adamzeit · Dec 27, 2009

Please help

Guys - every time I try to flash the CursorSense 0.8 ROM from the Recovery menu, my device goes into this infinite loop of rebooting....or, it will just lock-up in Recovery after a few second - and I can't do anything. If I'm lucky enough to be able to click on the "update from ZIP" menu and then select the CursorSense 0.8 ZIP file, the device just goes into an infinite loop of rebooting on me forever!!

here is what I have....I believe that I did everything correct when I upgraded. I came from a very old Recovery (6+ months old) but all the updates from the instructions I found here in this thread went perfectly. Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I would be GRATEFUL!

Anyone? Thanks SO much!

adamzeit · Dec 27, 2009

UPDATE

OK - so after stopping to eat breakfast and get my head together, I realized I was NOT using the HERO version of the Recovery file. So - I re-did the steps with the HERO version of the recovery, and now at least I don't lock-up or reboot when in the recovery menu.

NOW - when i attempt to run the update with the CursorSense 0.8 ROM, it starts to find and open the package (as normal) - but then about 5 seconds into this, it stops, and the screen returns right back to the main "Recovery" menu. When I try to do it again - the same thing happens.

I'm ALMOST there...! Any suggestions on this last issue as to why the update process starts...and then abruptly stops and goes back to the main recovery menu?

Thanks again!!

adamzeit · Dec 27, 2009

UPDATE # 2

So - NO - I'm really not an idiot...but for some reason, I decided to walk through all the steps in this thread again (except for the radio update because it was done already) - and now it all WORKED! The one extra step I took was wiping my SD card (which was a basic card with NO extra partitions and I have used it to flash dozens of other ROM's without an issue) and started from scratch with that too, just in case. Well, it worked!! I just installed the CursorSense 0.8 ROM successfully and it is booting now (nice Nexus boot screen BTW).

So - thanks for letting me vent and ask for help on this thread...it made me double and triple check a few things, and bam! I got through it.

As always - this forum and you guys are ridiculously amazing!

Happy holidays

only upgrade radio and spl,you won't lost any data.

samreay · Dec 28, 2009

Hey Guys

Just wondering, when you run the "full nandroid backup", do you use the recovery for the magic or the one you download for the hero?

Sorry if this seems a rather simple question to many of you, I'm brand new to this.

Thanks for any help

Sam
