hey guys
why is it 32A devices get all the cool ROMs? I have only saw a few 32B roms
That's because the 32B ROMs are in the Dream forum. Most G1 ROMs work on 32B too.
Actually, the most advanced ROMs come to G1/32B first. The best Android devs (Eugene, Manup and friends) don't cook for 32A.
great! thanks for the link. I'll defo look at them when i get my magic in 2 days!

I have a question regarding the Dev section in the Sapphire forums. I'm coming from the Dream forums and it's little bit more developed than here. I'm researching rooting my wife MT3G and noticed that some of the roms are labeled as so [32a], [32b], or [32B](MT3G). I'm wondering if it's labeled 32B is it alright to flash on the MT3G or should I only flash ones that specifically say they're for the MT3G? I've searched all of the forums and cannot find any specific answer (Dream forums are pretty ruthless with n00b questions that are easily searched) Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Bump for help
you should be good with anything that is labled 32b or any of the latest cyanogenmod roms.
myTouch 3G = 32B
myTouch is just the branding of a Sapphire 32B. 32B phones are identical to the G1 as far as specs go, the 32A is identical to the Hero (and is VERY uncommon in the USA). If you root the phone using my method here you will be ready to be using CyanogenMod Stable, CM Experimental, or my new favorite, the Dizzy Hero v1.5.5.
I should have a MT3G by Thursday. Just wondering after CM4.0.4 is installed, can I go ahead with installing his Pimped Out Recovery 1.4.1?
Awesome thanks guys!
The 32b has 192MB of RAM, while the 32a has 288MB. As far as I know, the T-Mobile USA phones are 32b, while the Rogers Canada phones are 32a.
Also, keep in mind that the Canadian 32a and USA T-Mobile 32b use different 3G frequencies.
hey guys, over in the dream/g1 dev forum thw roms are all made for non ebi1 phones and i must apply the brian crook kernals to them.
Am i correct in saying that i can install the roms made for magic 32A phones on my dream as the magic 32a is just like the 32b dream with the ebi1 3.something radio?
From what I understand. Yes.
If your Dream is EBI1 aka 3.22.XX.XX, you want to apply the rom then apply the kernel patch for EBI1 radios.
its great that i know this but there are lots of g1 ebi1 users now who probably dont know that this section of the forum is where they should be
as it says on the topic......
Any Devs working on roms for New MT3G 1.2 32a board??

Do the regular 32A builds not work?

yeah, if this thing is 32a, I would say follow the how too root a magic guide...although we need a few fearless people to confirm for us.
no they dont.. the radio is different to a regualr 32a... and since the newmytouch 3g has the 3.5mm jack, the drivers are different.... so if we can get some devs cooking some roms it would be great!!!...
Hi guys,
I have a Magic32B running an engineering spl and cyanogenmod 5.0.8 - Now I would love to try some of the other 32A roms as there seems to be far more development for those phones - whats the best way to change the radio and recovery so that I can then install some of these custom roms...

Far more developement? Ever been in the G1 section?

32B means less RAM (192MB) and less internal memory for your phone so trying to run a 32A ROM which utilizes all the RAM and memory on a 32B phone would be impossible unless there is a port from 32A > 32B.
Okay I'll forget that idea and take a look in the G1 section cheers
Aaaaaannnnnnd closed!
Thank you, come again.
I've already rooted the phone using Cyanogen's wiki. Here's my phone info from fastboot:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPH31000)
CLPD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02

Couple things I'm not clear on:
1. The whole 32A/32B thing. For example, I have a 32A, but I can only flash 32B roms. Flashing a 32A rom makes it hang on black screen after the HTC Magic logo.
2. I've read that the MyTouch 1.2 and Fenders are all 32A. I've also read that for the phone to work properly, the stock SPL and radio have to be used. If that's the case, how are people running the 32A ROMs in the development section that require different SPLs and radios?
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how to flash a 32A ROM on my MT3G 1.2 phone if they require non-stock SPL/radio and when I'm reading that I can't use anything but stock versions.
I'm probably mixing up old and new info, but I'm really confused. Flashing my Nexus One is so much easier
you got it mostly right.
The mytouch 1.2/Fender is a hybrid magic. It has the mainboard of the 32a (with 288mb RAM), but the radio of the MT3G 32b/G1, a new touch screen driver, and the 3.5mm audio jack.
So, really, someone named Zinx was able to make kernel patches to make it work. These patches were applied the CM 32b kernel. So any rom based on CM5.0.7test 2 kernel or higher has the needed drivers to work with the 1.2/fender le.
the true HTC magic 32a has a different radio. This is why the dev section is mostly of 32a with old radio/new radio ROMs. the 32b phones are just G1 with out the keyboards...
Basically you need to find ROMs that have been "ported" to run on the 1.2. I can recommend Cyanogenmod 5.0.8-DS. As it works really well. Make sure you look for the DS (dream/sapphire) one.

So that means I'll never be able to run a 32A ROM on this phone, which means I'll never have my full 288MB RAM available?
Thanks for the replies! It's starting to make more sense to me. And here I thought I was going crazy
Currently I'm running jojotm's Minimou with pershoot's updated kernel and it works very well. It's faster than I expected it to be which is just fine for my wife. I have a Nexus One for my needs
No, the kernal or a ported ROM will let you use the full RAM.
