So i purchased my 32b about three weeks ago and i am planning on selling it.. all i did was install cyanon recovery and did the update.zip of one of the roms i didnt install hardspls or format the sd card how can i get it back to factory settings? should i just get the tmt3g rom aka the rogers rom and install it and consider it factory? or is there no way of reverting it back to factory
rogers rom is 32a.
that doesn't make sense the t-mobile mt3g is a 32b and rogers is a 32a there is no mt3g/rog i think you need to do some reading before you start playing with things...
Sorry for the confusion i m just wondering what rom should i do to get it mt3g to its closest factory state .... all i have installed was nandroid nothing else no hard spl either

I rooted my MT3G early on using the goldcard method - it is currently running the RAv1.1.0h rom from the original rooting thread. It has the 1.33.2005 SPL and the 3.22.20.17 radio. In fastboot I can see that it the SPL is an HTC version (I think that is what PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H means, right?).
I'm having trouble moving to a 32B rom, and no matter what I try, I can't get the damn recovery image to switch from the current RAv1.2.1H to the G - which is (I assume) why I can't install any 32B roms.
Any foolproof way to change my recovery image from H to G? I've followed all the steps listed on how to do this in Fastboot and using ADB to switch it over, but no matter what I do, it has no problems booting correctly with an H recovery image, but not with a G.
Any 32B roms just makes the phone hang at the splashscreen, so I know it's a rom issue.
OR - Am I missing a step here - is there a different spl I need in order to get my MyTouch 3G to think it is a G edition again. OR easier yet, should I stop whining and just find a reliable 32A rom that works on it (assuming something without too much HERO stuff?).
YES - I searched everywhere, I spent countless hours on it, but I can't help feel I've missed something really stupid, so feel free to call me names and point out the obvious (just don't say "try Google).
Are you still able to use flashrec? If yes try to flash this one>> cm-recovery-1.4 works fine if you want 32B roms. Enom uploaded latest version yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549754 nd if you want version prior to this then go to http://www.4shared.com/file/129108782/3953f016/HTC__crc1__Android_rooted_Rom_32B_TMobile.html
unzip and make sure to install one after the other. Large one first and rename as update ,put in your sd card. Once that is performed then go to the next small one about 14mb. Rename as update and put it in sdcard. Dont forget to delete the large one if already there.
Let us know how you go on.
No - Flashrec won't run since the rom I'm currently using has the exploit patched.
Good tip though, thanks! Any other thoughts on why I can't get the 1.2.1G recovery image on my phone? Or an alternative way to get it to install?
EDIT: Took a few steps back, installed the sappimg for the MT3G, then did flashrec and then did the update with the rom you posted. Thanks so much for the tip and inspiration!
Yes, well done.Thanks for letting us know.And yes flashrec wont work on these rom also. I tried many times to flash with RAv 1.2.1image but it seems it was not possible. I asked emon in his T Mobile rom thread where he gave me a tip as to how to go about RAv.... but that hasnt worked.
But there is a solution if al you want is to make 3 partitions.
I followed Paaragon method as described on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512873
and it worked. So try that.
I tried many different roms and finally settled on enomther's
because it is very fast, not too cluttered and just perfect for 32B boards. And further more, there isnt anything that doesnt function.
PS: I prefered the one prior to current as on 4shared. But thats personal.
unroot completly by re insttalling the saphimg and go with the oneclick root method from the unlocker thats what i did and TITS! perfict running hero and full 32 b envierment raido and roms ... be carefull with the 32 a 32 b mixup could be the end of your touch....
Hello All,
OK so i bought a used HTC MAGIC. When i bought it, it was already rooted, and had the ROGERS HTC ROM. But i wanted to load a different ROM onto the phone and in order to do that i had to unroot the phone and start from scratch to be able to root my phone in one click, as instructed by theunlockr.com
On the same site i found a method to unroot the HTC Magic, the link provided gave me a "sappimg.nbh" that ended up unrooting my phone while flashing the My Touch 3G from T-Mobile onto the phone.
In order to root my phone again i followed the steps on theunlockr.com "How-to root the magic in one click". it said that if your motherboard is 32A download the Amon_RA's "recovery-rav1.2.1h.img". my phone specs are:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.19.261
BUT after multiple attempts and fails i tried flashing the Amon_RA's "recovery-rav1.2.1g.img", which is designed for 32B motherboards, and it was a success.
BUT once again i tried to load a different ROM and seeing that my motherboard is 32A i tried to load ROMs designed for 32A. It would NOT work, the MY TOUCH 3G screen would pop up and stay there forever.
I then tried to load ROMs designed for 32B motherboard and guess what it worked.
Plus when i load HERO ROM's onto my phone it goes very very slow, and right now i have a cyanogen ROM on the phone and it is working perfectly fine.
SO i hope by now you can understand where the confusion lies...the motherboard is 32A but only ROM's desgined for 32B work on the phone.
I would prefer to start from scratch and put my phone back to the ROGERS ROM, rooted or unrooted doesn't matter. So if anyone can provide me a "sappimg.nbh" for the HTC Magic that will flash the ROGERS ROM to my phone i would greatly appreciate it.
Even when i load ROGERS ROM's onto my phone i still get the MY TOUCH 3G boot image.
Im afraid i might encounter problems later due to all these different ROM flashings, so i would like to start from scratch.
Please help me in this matter either by explaining what is going on with my phone, and/or providing me with the correct files ("sappimg.nbh") to reset my phone back to the ROGERS ROM.
Were you able to figure this out? I have a similar issue.

when you flashed over the nbh for the mytouch, you basically made your phone a 32B. the radio and spl for a 32B is different than a 32A. That's why only 32B roms work on your phone. To fix this, all you have to do is flash over the 32A radio and spl, then you are good.
This thread will get you back to a 32A setup. All your problems will be fixed from there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544761
What surprises me is that flashing over the nbh didn't brick your phone because of the different spl's. You lucked out I guess.
That link will get put the 32A radio and recovery on your phone. From there, you should be able to hopefully flash the spl over without any problems. can't guarantee it though since I have never seen a similar situation as yours is.
Fixed: I couldn't flash using adb, but was able to get into fastboot. As a last resort, from fastboot I ran the executable from the HTC website (RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe from http://www.htc.com/ca/support/magic-rogers/downloads).
It reset everything to default, including perfected SPL, but from there it was easy to re-root.
i have the same problem
i have the same problem with u now, please tell me how you fix it, cause i cant update the official RUU with the current condition, it wont recognize the device.
TIA
Let me explain to you the whole story. I obviously know im going to get flamed for this one. I will give you the short short version
I had a rooted MT3G fender with this Rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669911
It worked all good until i started messing with stuff. I wanted this rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394
Since it said 32a and MT3G fender is 32a i assumed that it will install and no problems. So i used the gold card to change radio and spl to the 3.22 series. only to find out that they dont work for my phone. based on this post
"You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY." -crypysmoker-
[THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
So now im thinking great i didnt catch that so let me just move back to where i was before. using the last section of that previous thread to install the stock radio and spl. i have done this already and know it works. so i install the stock radio and spl and the custom recovery. Boot up into recovery and restore nandroid. everything is going ok utill.....it locks up in a boot loop. i then boot back up into recovery and erase data. after that i tryed another nandroid restore and to my wonderful surprise i now lost the ability to mount the sdcard. i restarted and tryed many different cards and all failed. I then boot up into hboot restore with the goldcard and it then locks up at system.
Great now im looking for something to fix this whole mess. after that i try to reinstall the original spl and radio. I then have an error "signature verify failed." Now im thinking WTF!!!!!
I then find a thread about the RUU and how to turn off "S-on" if i install this official HTC app. However come to find out its the asia version. WONDERFUL FOR ME!!! I then found the Official T-mobile MT3G RUU, installed it and now i have a fastboot installed with a memchip with a red circle around it, not the 3 skate droids, and cant boot into HBOOT ,with the volume down button. All that i see is "RUU USB." I have adb but now get the error "remote not allowed." it used to be "signature verify failed." i have no recovery, no HBOOT, just fast boot with RUU USB.
How to i fix this mess up and get back to this?

Oh also i cant go and exchange the MT3g fender because im past my 14 days and i already did it on the first day. LOL
I actually am stuck on the same screen with the same phone. I hope someone has been able to get this fixed
Damn, not trying to be mean, but you screwed up a lot.
I have the same version device as you, and I upgraded my radio/SPL. and did a lot of stuff, i semi-bricked it, but i got it working again. I suggest you re-root your whole entire phone. including flashing all the radios, spl,recovery, and etc.
Try following this theunlockr[DOT]com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The problem is that the phone is stuck in a bit of an interesting state. You can't flash from an RUU at this point because the engineering SPL used to root the phone is version 2.53.x, while the RUU's ROM is 2.10.x. You also cannot flash any images to the phone because the SPL is locked (S-ON). So the only way to fix the phone at this point would be to somehow get an HTC-signed 2.53+ ROM for the SAPP31000 (mytouch 3g 1.2/fender) or find a way to unlock the SPL. I had a nice chat with some of the Modaco guys and we went through a lot of options with none of them working. The phone's basically in a bit of a chicken vs. egg state. So personally, I will be building a serial cable to manually unlock the SPL so that I can flash images back on manually.
So, while I wish it was as easy as just re-flashing the phone, you can't do that with a locked SPL and no HBOOT mode available. Onward to a serial/TTL cable advendure!
Once I get the parts in to build it, I'll follow up here with my results

I had an htc fuze with wm, iphones, and now i bought a used htc magic/mytouch.
Im not sure whats the difference but i do need lots of help.
The Phone says t-mobile in the front, my touch logo and with google on the back and when i turn it on it says vodafone and then htc magic so im not sure what i have. and it doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack, it has the usb headphone jack.
I´ve been trying to root the phone for the last 8 hours with no luck. I´ve used 5 guides and non have worked for me. I used amon ras guide and i think thats the closest i´ve gooten to root the phone.
When i got the phone it had android 1-6 and i read the theunlockr one click guide that said i had to download to 1.5 so i did. then i checked my mb version and it said 32 b but when i run flashrec it said i have EAI1/32A. Not sure what that means. I ran the command and when i tried to go to recovery to install a rom i only got the original recovery screen and not the custom.
With amon raps guide i flashed with goldcard and flashed the hboot 1.33.0005and flashed a 32a rom and radio and amon ra´s recovery and then returned to 32b radio and installed cyanogenmon rom froyoredux 1.2- everything went well but when i turned on the phone it got stuck on the vodafone splash, i left it there for over 20 minutes and nothing happend. I flashed again with my goldcard and im back at 1.5 and unrooted. I´ve done some more guides but it was almost the same but none worked. the closest i´ve gotten to 2.2 is this last guide but i get stuck at splash. Ive also tried other rams, thinking maybe theres a problem with the one i used and no luck.
Then i took my friends htc magic 32A and used amon ra´s and it worked perfectly the first try but my 32b i can´t root it. please help, i really dont like 1.5 i feel im missing out on too much stuff. here the info from the phone i get when i press return+power
Sapphire_PVT 32B Ship S-on H

one more thing, i live in Chile and we use the at&t 3g bands is there any way to change the bands from t-mobile and be able to use the at&t bands. My phone is sim unlocked but i can only use edge data and no 3G
thank you very much.
I was going to try to help but can't since I've only got experience with the myTouch 1.2. Sorry, gl anyways.
so, here´s an update of what ive done since yesterday. I found cyanogen guide on rooting that didnt involve a a gold card but when i flashed the sappimg it said fail main version older. then i passed to cyanogens second guide that was a mix of his and amon ra´s no luck either, i mean i can flash everything, including the radio and back to the 32b rom but then it stays stuck at the splash screen. If i put the gold card in again with the sapp, i go back to 1.5 and boots up perfectly but i cant do it with any other rom. Then i tried a mix of all the guides, i even updated my spl to 1.33.2010 and then flashed a 32a rom and 32 radio and nothing, i really dont know how im so lucky that my htc hasn´t bricked after all these things but kid you not i´ve trioed over 100 ways to do it and no luck. I´m pretty sure it has something to do with the radio, right now i have radio 3.22.23.18and hboot1.33.2010. can any one help me please
I unroot my mytouch using the old sappimg.nbh method.
It flash successfully but now it won't boot!
I got a S-ON spl so I can't do fastboot and there is no recovery menu
I can still get into the fastboot menu but that is it
Can I use a 32B RUU to recover my phone then root it, flash the correct splash screen, then flash the correct spl & radio for my region?
i BELIEVE so... as long as you can get to hboot menu you should be able to RUU... did you have RAM hack installed .0013d?
I'd go back to T-Mobile default and start all over.
This post has info and links to restore 1.5, upgrade to 1.6 and then 2.2
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Opera...ooting-installing-Donut-and-Froyo/td-p/505421
If you want to flash a custom ROM just restore to 1.6; if you want to take advantage of the extra ram then restore to 2.2 and accept the OTA update.
Hope it helps.

All my current mytouch info before I soft bricked is in my sig.
I tried the sappimg.nbh from that forum topic but no matter how many times I flashed it, it doesn't work
Any way thanks for your help, I'm getting a replacement phone on friday

since you are on the 2708+ radio and kernel you might need to downgrade those in fastboot... then try to reroot... but you are getting a new device anyhow...
edit: reread your first post and S-on... sorry... maybe next time try to downgrade the radio and spl before downgrading ROM...

I was going to try fastboot cyanogenmod 6 or a donut rom but the spl that came with the new radio is S-ON so I can't fastboot anything
then the sappimg.nbh made the spl a perfected spl
