Vodafone 32B Magic with Radio 3.22.20.17

Anyone has this experience ?
What pro/cons ?
I tried to flash this radio when this thread was out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630853&highlight=vodafone+32+sense
It worked nice for me with that Stock Rom.
I flashed only Radio.img and System.img of course, i've the older Haykuro 1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
So, any people around here are using this Radio with Vodafone 32B Magic ?
What Rom ?
Does Recovery Image works ?
Thanks

Nobody tested new Radio on Vodafone 32B ?
mmm strange...

If you flash a 32A radio onto a 32B device, it will work...
You'd then need to flash Amon_RA H recovery.
Issues... None except a much slower phone. Bluetooth works on Sense ROMs though, which I don't even think is an issue anymore.

Its all over at the G1 section, I flashed it on my MyTouch 3G, tons of us 32bers have flashed the new Radio

You mean the 32B radio 2.22.23.02. But QTeknology means 3.22.20.17. Which is a 32A radio.

It's a 32B Radio too, It was on a Official HTC Vodafone Rom downloadable over the German HTC Web page.

Yes, i know what you mean. But i don't think it is a 32B radio because my normal recovery didn't started. After i tried it with a 32A kernel it booted fine.

Hold on a second! Is this right?
- Using any 32B SPL and 32B radio 2.22.19.26 or 2.22.23.02 you can boot a 32B ROM on a 32B Magic. We all do this.
- Using 32B Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 (possibly other Engs?) and 32A radio 3.22.20.17 you can boot a 32A ROM on a 32B Magic. QTeknology and mjrgens are doing this.
Has QTek just discovered a way to "fool" 32A ROMs into running on a 32B???

Just flashed this Radio that comes from a HTC Rom 2.16.151.3 (from German site)
http://www.4shared.com/file/241359056/7f466efc/radio3222017.html
I think it's for 32B:
ro.build.fingerprint=vodafone_generic/htc_magic/sapphire/sapphire:1.5/2.16.151.3/34732:user/release-keys
A Lot of Vodafone stuff inside the rom

The Android build is for Vodafone, i think. But the radio is 32A. Btw, don't flash the engineering SPL 1.33.2004 G if you have this radio, it will brick your device.

To be honest this whole thread gives me the heeby geebies, flashing radios is usually where bricks happen and I don't see there is any benefit to anybody changing their radio if what they currently have isn't giving them any problems.
Just my 2 cents .... on the subject of radios if it aint broke then don't try and fix it!

Flashing radio does not worry me, as I don't think it's possible to brick as long as you have original SPL? I've upgraded my Magic to 2.22.23.02 and it made a good difference.
Flashing SPL does give me the heeby geebies. It's pretty clear-cut for US T-Mobile G1s like the one I own, but for my Australian 1.33.0004 Magic I still can't get a straight answer as to what Eng SPL I should flash. 2004G seems to be the right one but I'm not 100% sure.
I see no real advantage on the Magic anyway, I can fastboot recoveries and the Vodafone-branded bootscreen does not bother me enough to risk bricking my phone.
At least with stock SPL I can always recover no matter how badly I stuff up the OS.

ok so over all it is possible to flash a 32a radio to a 32b and use 32a sense roms or is there an spl needed as well?

Radio/SPL quiestions?

I'm trying to understand the radios for the MyTouch 3g phone.
Now a 32A and 32B have different radios, ones starting with a 3 (32a) others with a 2 (32b).
Now whats the latest for both of them? Does it matter if you're running a 32a radio on a 32b?
Also how does the SPL interact with the radio? For instance, I use the gold card and flash 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL onto a mytouch3g and converts it to a 32a device (H in SPL, and 3.xx.xx.xx radio), would I be ok with putting a 32b radio back on or does a 32b radio require the 1.33.2005 SPL?

Hello. Yes, theoricly you can flash any radeio but even you must be careful with the radios you flash, if you flash a 32A radio on a 32B you'll get a much slower phone, vice versa, you'll brick your phone. Use as rule update only IF really necessary for the rom to work and beeing stable to use.
According to your question the last radios for each are:3.22.20.17 (32A edition if you are using stock rom wich requires Hboot 1.33.xxxx) ; 6.35.10.18 (32A edition if you are using Hboot 1.72.xxxx); 2.22.19.26 (32B Edition if you are using Hboot 1.33.xxxx)
Everytime you change radio you'll have to change Hboot version to the according of your motherboard, and the recovery for the following edition.
Hope i've helped a bit lighten up how it works

to answer that also. i flashed the 1.33.2010 spl and then flashed the ion radio (2.22.19.26i) and i seem to be just fine. i didnt even know the 2010 spl was the 32a spl. hmm im glad i didnt brick. and im running super D 1.11

[Q] Is 3.22.26.17 the latest radio for Magic 32a?

I didn't find so many informations about this version of the radio, and I'm a bit confused: is this radio compatible with Magic 32A (and 32B??) or Dream? Because in some posts I see it used on Dream, but looks like a numbered version for Magic.
Can someone please help me before I brick my device?
Thanks!

im Running 3.22.26.17
Im running 3.22.26.17 as my radio with rogers, there are some draw backs
i get dropped to EDGE often.
If your phone is a Rogers 32a you can try the 6.35 radios they work great. (be sure to update to the proper SPL aswell)
how is 3.22.23.18 working for you?

[Q] questioned radio/SPL combination

Dear friends,
I recently rooted my T-Mobile MT3g w/audio jack (I found this particular device very confusing). Installed CM 6.1 on it w/ ezBiffTestKernel20101024-ebi0_S.zip to avoid green tinting.
It's too bad I still have an old radio on the phone (upgraded from 1.6)
so my biggest concern is choosing right radio / SPL
I guess 2825 or 2708 (G) is the right choice, but what about SPL? I'd prefer engineered for future tweaks
My parameters are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G (well I guess its not real 32A since its not Fender or Magic)
HBOOT-1.33.0013
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Any suggestion for radio / SPL versions will be highly appreciated!
I can even do some donations for the project, just tell me how and where.
PS. OK, more simple question
Can I flash 1.33.2010 and 2708 (2825) radio?
Also can they be flashed via Amon RA's custom recovery (from sd card)?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Wrong section!
Do NOT post in Development unless you have developed something!

Read me.

[Q] What is the name of this thing anyway? LOL

Hey XDA... I'm a bit of a noob, but have been trolling for a great deal and learned a lot and tested many a ROM. One of the phones I've been working with has these specs:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
Oct 21 2009,,22:33:27
From my understanding this goes by many names... Which one(s) of those should I use to search for compatible ROMs? I am particularly trying to get ICS working for the WIFI tether aspect. the only ROM I have been able to get working is GB cyanogenmod for the HTC Magic. I'm trying to repurpose this phone so that it will connect to a bluetooth DUN and then share that connection over WIFI as a sort of BT to WIFI repeater so that I can get just a few more meters for my roommate to borrow my connection with. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
~XDA Forever!!!~

That device is the mytouch 3g with the 3.55mm headphone Jack. It runs roms made for the HTC dream/g1 and for the 32b sapphire/magic. Most of the roms for it are found in the g1 development section. Cm7 works on it reasonably well. The only really working ics rom for it is united ics, which has not been touched by its lead developer for almost a year (I've been busy)

The OP's HBOOT says it's a 32a. Wouldn't he need a 32a ROM?

No, it does NOT mean that. His hboot says he has a 1.33 series spl, a 2.22 series radio, and a cpld of 13. This tells you that he needs to run a rom with an ebi0 kernel (and not a 2708+ one, that won't boot on cpld 13).
There are 3 main variants of the dream/sapphire. The 32b is what the g1 and original mytouch 3g are. They have 192mb ram total (some reserved for camera and radios and such, leaving you with almost 100mb left) run 1.33 series spls and 2.22 series hboot and use kernels build for such a config (ebi0). There is an updated radio and spl (2.22.28.25 or 2.22.27.08 radio and 1.33.0013 spl) that allow access to 15mb of additional ram (usually leaving roms with 109mb). Kernel devs labeled kernels built for this configuration 2708+.
Then there is the 32a. I've never owned a 32a device so this may have errors. It has 288mb ram, and can run a couple different radio combinations. It can run the same configuration as the 32b, at the cost of half your ram. The "old radio" setup consists of a 1.33 series spl and a 3.22 series radio. This runs ebi1 kernels. (The 32b can actually run this radio, but there are little benifits and doing so isn't very common. I've mostly seen people with a "Rogers dream" (it shipped with a 3.22 radio apparently) try to escape this setup. There then is the "new radio". This is a 6.35 radio and 1.76 spl. This is found on devices shipping with sense, and behaves more like an HTC hero than a magic. Flashing the 6.35 on a 32b device will cause a brick (and if I'm remembering correctly, the device didn't even respond to jtag).
And last, but not least, is the device in the op. It is a T-Mobile mytouch 3g 1.2. Is has 288mb ram, a headphone Jack (not present on any other model), reports cpld 13 is hboot, and strictly runs the 1.33.0013 spl with a 2.22 series radio. The update allowing 15mb additional ram for the 32b doesn't work here because the spl that allows that was our spl from the start. Flashing anything other than the 1.33.0013 (or the modded 1.33.0013d) spl from the 1.33 series will make half your ram vanish and your headphone jack not exist to the rom. This device also runs ebi0 kernels,.found in 32b roms.
For 32b and 32a old radio roms, installing the appropriate kernel is all that's needed to get it running on the other device. For roms that are built for the 6.35 radio, its very similar to porting from the HTC hero.
This device can be quite confusing if you know nothing of the variants.

Thanks for the clarification. I saw 32A in the HBOOT output and jumped to the wrong conclusion.
