I'm planning to buy the myTouch 3G for T-Mobile.
Before I do that, I have a few questions.
Would I be able to put the HTC Hero's ROM (Sense UI) onto it?
If so, is there any bugs on it because I want it to work 100%.
Would I be able to downgrade to the default ROM if I don't like the Hero's ROM?
Thanks!
[Sorry for the noob questions, I'm very new. I'm pretty sure I could of found the answers using the search functions, but I'm kind of in a rush at the moment]
MyTouch cannot be rooted at the moment so you can't install any new ROM's at all. Makes it an easy choice.

the mytouch can be rooted. it is the same process as rooting the htc magic PVT32A(vodaphone).
the hero rom works, but it will be buggy because the mytouch only has 192mb ram compared to the hero which has 288mb ram. you are always welcome to try it, and if you don't like it, yes, there is an option to revert back to your original rom.
Hope that helps.
the mytouch has the "dreaded perfect spl" as stated by haykuro and as such has not been rooted yet- see the thread in development section.....

I'll be buying a MT3G in less than a week. I've been doing a ton of research before I have a $200 paper weight. I'm going to do the use FlashRec.apk and install Amon RA's recovery image. Then install Cyanogen's latest ROM. I like this recovery image for the APPS2SD feature. My question is as follows. I've read that changing the Radio and SPL isn't really necessary before installing a new ROM on MT3G. The video on theunlockr.com shows him changing them. I'm not uncomfortable doing it, but what is the advantages/disadvantages to changing it? (I read in another post here that someone bricked their device doing this.)
Thanks for all the info and work this site is great.
Don't bother.
Changing the standard radio or SPL from the MyTouch 3G isn't really necessary...unless you're planning to port a HERO ROM build to your device.
Otherwise, you're in good shape. The One-Click Root Method works out wonderfully. It's good to hear that you've done a fair bit of research on the topic. Btw, Amon_RA's image is fantastic. Far superior to Cyanogen's current build version.
Thanks
Thanks for the help. I'll be getting my new phone on Wednesday. Is there something different about Hero ROM's that I should be forewarned about if I decide to switch ROM's in the future?
I'm running a Hero rom with the stock SPL and radio with no issues. This is on a mt3g.

I am yet to have any problems with Bluetooth. I use my headset often.
And to the other guy, I find that hard to believe that you have the standard, "out of the box" radio and SPL - yet somehow managed to find and flash a HERO port that is compatible.

Interesting, you have full bluetooth on a Hero ROM? It's a known issue that bluetooth is not fully functioning on any Hero build, the kernel does not allow it. When the kernel is open source it will just be a matter of time.
Clinton
Must have New Radio and SPL for Hero
Necessary to have different Radio and SPL for Hero ROM's as stated by Reignzone? It's to my understanding though, that Hero ROM's on MT3G have considerable lag? Is this myth or fact? OR Dependent on the ROM?
Dont need to change anything.i have the stock spl and running evil hero 2.7x.great rom,no lag with 96mb linux-swap.by the way i have a mt3g. Spl ooo6. Good luck.
I have a mytouch-(The original one) and i have a problem. I hacked it a few months ago and everytime i install a rom from the mytouch section it doesnt work but my phone only works with G1 roms.
Please help me fix this.
the roms for the mytouch are generally made for 32a HTC phones different boards and hardware so they wont work as long as the rom as 32B you are good to go

"Hacked it" how?
What kind of original MyTouch do you have?
In other words, what spl, radio, recovery, etc.
well i don't really know how to check spl and radio. etc.
but what i do know is when i start up my phone with Home+Power
Build is RA-Dream-V1.6.2
Do (power+back) to get into fastboot and post that info.

That's Amon's recovery manager, which allows you to do lots of cool things with your phone (flash ROMs, themes, wipe your phone/SD card, and more).
If you want to flash a ROM on your phone, I would suggest looking over in the G1 Android Development section for some ROMs that almost always work with the 32B MyTouch3G phones. Just make sure it's 32B and not 32A.
@Dust but i want to use a Mytouch rom now... i'm tired of using roms over at the G1 develp section when im not even using one.
and for my info here it is..
Sapphire Pvt 32B Ship S-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (Sapp30000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19.261
May 27 2009, 19:06:41
Then it says fastboot, hboot mode, reset device, restart to hboot, and lastly power down.

You have the MT3G thats not the Fender/1.2 MT3G (No 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top, I have the same phone.)
As far as roms go, you have to go through the G1 roms or find 32B roms. The MyTouch threads are usually 32A roms which are for the Fender/1.2 versions. Some roms will have [32A] or [32A/32B] in the posting. Look for the ones that work on both versions or just 32B.
Try the Rom Bible in the G1 Development Thread. Also, not trying to be an ass, but make sure you know what you are doing before you try to flash a rom onto your phone. The last thing you want to do is brick your phone and have no idea what the specs on your phone are.
also I should add that you can have a Mytouch and have a Hero rom flashed on it. Thats the beauty of rooting and flashing so don't think that you need a Mytouch rom for your Mytouch. The roms are created for the specific model of phone...
oh ok thanks. and yeah when i flash rom i just pick anything and flash... lol
last thing.. since you are using the same phone as me what rom are you using atm?

Just note that if you run a Hero rom then you will have to reboot every so often (about every day or so) and you will not have bluetooth.
Depending on the Hero rom you will also not have camcorder, wifi, livewallpaper, etc.
So... if all that sounds good then go for it.
Personally, I avoid Sense UI roms like the plague.
ok thanks. i am wondering about live wallpapers though because all i have is the maps.. how do i get other live wallpapers?
You look in the market for lwp. I am using the same phone as you too. Running chromatic 4.3 atm. It runs good. Cm 5.0.8 runs really well (2.1). Or enomther has a really good 1.6 just look around and try different ones. That's the fun.

If you want a decent Nexus LWP I recently came across one on Market by stealthcopter.com called Nexus Revamped. They have a paid version as well that has more options. I was so impressed with it that I got the paid version.
thanks guys really helped clear things up.
Using the chromatic and the Nexus LWP now thanks for your suggestions.
Hello all, some weeks ago i have load a custom rom in my Magic (2.1 eclair legend), but it runs slow and buggy all time.
I would like to know how i can go back to the official rom!
thank you in advance

i mean, dont mind i would like to go back to the latest offical for magic, even 1.6!
Do a search for SAPPIMG.nbh
You also can try installing the last RUU File for the Magic, if you have a 32a!
When your installed Custom-Rom is a CursorSense Rom, like Hero or a modified OTA 2.1 from Rogers for Magic, you can do this way:
boot into fastboot, connect to USB and run the RUU.exe-File, this will get you back to Stock, and 1.5
Worked 100% for me.
For a 32b you maybee need a SAPPIMG.nbh how Phateless said, but i´m not sure.

Tom Green is right, we really need to know what hardware you're on so we can accurately advise you without worry of bricking your device.
Power the phone off. Then hold the BACK + POWER buttons until you get to a screen with three androids on skateboards.
Type in all the info from that screen. We need to know if you're a 32a or 32b.
hey guys, sorry for answering late to you. I've got the 32a version. So i'll try the method you mentioned in here. hopefully will works
Please post if this method worked or not, or if anyone knows if this method will work on a MyTouch 3g 3.5mm(1.2) USA and get me back to stock. When T Mobile releases the OTA Froyo update for my phone I want to revert back to stock so I can get it. Thanks.

This link will get you back to Cupcake, but since I'm much more familiar with the 32b I'm not sure if there is a manual update after you restore Cupcake.

I really don't know a lot about the 32a, sorry...
Hey guys, I flashed my Mom's phone with CM 6.0 a few weeks ago and it's been nothing but trouble for her. She has insurance and is planning to get a replacement phone, and I'm worried that she might get in trouble with Tmo for having a custom ROM.
So my question is, do I need to to an SPL or is there an update zip I can flash with Clockwork Mod to go back to the stock rom?
Thanks for my noobish question, I don't own this specific device so it's a bit confusing. Much easier to take care of on my Hero.
Your mom let you flash her phone? My mom wont let me go anywhere near her Motorola Cliq.
Anyway, go to theunlockr.com, and theres a guides there in how to UNroot, then Tmobile can send you a replacement (for whatever reason)...and yes, custom ROMs void your warranty, but when you unroot, its as if you never rooted. PERFECT stock.
BUT: you have to use the correct guide, is the phone a US T-Mobile Mytouch or a European HTC Magic? Or a Mytouch with the headphone jack?
Posted with my stock T-Mobile 2.2.1 myTouch with 3.5mm jack
Try a diffrent rom first, like the latest aosp 2.2.1 OTA for mytouch, cm6 has always been trouble, memory leaks up the wazoo. Anywho, in my opinion aosp froyo 2.2 one of the best roms I have ever had on my mytouch 3g fast as hell
You just need to hboot the sappimg.nbh

Hi All
I have a Android Dev Phone 1 which I think is the G1.
It's probably rooted coz I can go to terminal and su without problems.
What I am looking to is to put Froyo on it.
Is this possible? Is there a upgrade guide specific for this phone?
Let me know if more information I needed.
Thanks.

Very nice thanks
ADP1 is an HTC DREAM
G1 is meaningless.
If its bone stock, it probably has 0.95.3000 SPL and either a 1.x or 2.x radio. Make sure you upgrade the radio to the latest one available at developer.htc.com/adp.html -- then read everything in the DREAM forums.
