A few questions regarding a second hand HTC Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello Everyone,
I recently bought a second hand HTC Magic. It had been used for about a month. I really like the phone, although the transition from Symbian to Android was kind of difficult.
What I am trying to understand is what ROM the phone has installed.
I hope someone can help me, so I can go and check the appropriate ROM thread on this forum for improvements and information.
And also, the guy that sold it to me said, that the version currently installed can not be exchanged for an older one.
Here's what I have:
It's a 32A device
It has the HTC Sense UI
It boots with the Hami logo (from what i've read, this is an Asian mobile carrier.)
In "About Phone" the information is as follows:
Model Number: HTC Magic
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.29
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-5469d459 / htc ke[email protected] #901
Build Number: 3.03.751.4 CL#75468 release-keys
At first, I thought it was the MyHero ROM, but then accidently I saw a video on YouTube, that was showcasing the MyHero on Magic, and it had "HTC Hero" in the Model Number field in the About Phone information.
Edit: Forgot to add some more information

Help with downgrading Radio and SPL

I think it's the Taiwanese Sense ROM for the Magic flashed over the original one.
I want to revert to the lower versions of the Radio and the SPL so I can install Cyanogen or any of the others.
While this ROM is nice and I have gotten used to it, it has some bugs that bother me.
No root = no bluetooth transfer
Ringtones stop in the middle of ringing
Number of desktops can't be customized
etc.
Can someone show/tell me a method in which I can downgrade the Radio and SPL to a lower version, which will allow me the flashing of various other ROMs? I read here, that this is a Perfect SPL and therefor can't be downgraded.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I am relatively new to this.

[Q] Mytouch 3G. Need assistance with Root.

Here's the info from my information page on the phone:
Model: T-Mobile myTouch 3G
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50sc.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernel version: 2.6.29-g023e5c9, [email protected] #3
Build number: 2.10.531.4 CL119339 release-keys
Also, it has the jack on the top of the phone.
I'm having trouble finding a How-To for this phone. Some sites say
don't do this on 1.6, others say don't do this if you have the jack.

What spl and radio do you have?
Power off your phone.
Hold volume down + power button while starting.
You should see a white screen.
Type out everything on that screen here.
Wait for a reply.
One thing I can tell you its probably a 32a phone if it has the 3.5mm jack on top of the phone.
heres a link to help you out. otherwise there is turn of info on ROM and rooting the 32a

Universal Androot is probably your best option, install the app, root/unroot with the click of a button.

Also... just FYI, you have a MyTouch 1.2, which requires 32B radios and roms and your stock spl (s-on). As of today December 29, 2010, you must have this. An Eng SPL (s-off) will not work and other radios are too risky and offer nothing different performance or reception wise. Always treat your phone as a 32B or you might break your phone.
Er... even though the phone says 32A on that screen you sent me to?
EDIT
Also, what ROM do I use? I went here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/category/1-stable-mod/
and I don't see my Mytouch 1.2 in the list.

Trust me. I have the same device. It says 32A but it's a 32A/32B hybrid. The only thing that is 32A is the RAM.
Use roms made for G1/MyTouch 32B devices.
Google G1 isn't in that MOD list, either.

The G1 = HTC Dream.
Like MyTouch 3G = HTC Sapphire.
