Rooted new MyTouch, now can't flash roms? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

So I got a replacement MyTouch today, one of the ones with 1.6 on it, so I did the Gold Card thing, no problems, got it rooted and running with Amon Ra's newest recovery and rooted 1.6 rom, but I'd like to flash KingKlick's 2.1, and when I flash it, it just sits at the Vodafone screen. I tried using the no-wipe update he has posted that says "32A users flash this" as well, nothin. Both times I waited at least 20 min, never left the Vodafone screen. Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working? I had King's rom before, and I loved it. Any help would be great.

First of all, mytouch is not a 32A device so that might be the problem. Try 32B version of that rom or other 32B roms. You can also try most G1 roms.

Yes, I know it's a 32B. The rom is a 32B rom. I ran it on my last MyTouch for some time. I only tried the 32A flash after if didn't work the first time, as I after I rooted, it has the vodafone/HTC magic startup screens, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'll try to flash something else today and see if it's just King's or what.

Had a thought, could it be because I need to update my SPL? Is 1.33.2005 (I think that's what I have, the radio is 3.22.20.17 if you need to know that) not good enough?

Did you ever flash the radio? That is a 32A radio. 32B radio is 2.22.19.26I. I am not sure if that SPL works for 32A radios. I know it works for 32B radio.

Hello,
I'm having the same Problem. I have an 32b aswell, with a 32b radio. But while flashing KiNgxKxKlair DroidEris2G1 I never pass the Vodafone screen. When I flash dhe CyanogenMod I don't have any problems.

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?

Why does my 32B think it's a 32A?

Continuation from my last post, I recently got a replacement 32B, and it came with the 1.6 donut on it. I used the gold card method to root it, and when I went to flash Amon Ra Recovery, the 32B version wouldn't flash, but the 32A would. I've got Open Eclair for 32A on it now, and I suppose that's fine, everything works, I'm just curious as to why it only wants 32A stuff.
Things I imagine you need to know:
32B MyTouch 3g (1.0, no 3.5mm jack)
SPL says 1.33.2005
radio is 3.22.20.17
Any help would be appreciated greatly!
32A radio
Ummm it might b bcuz u have a 32A radio???
Okay, that would make sense. I'll research flashing the radio and I'll be back if I have any issues after that.

You probably had to flash your phone with a 32A because you had a perfected SPL. The next step would be to revert your phone back to a 32B. Follow the steps in this thread.

Neat! Thank you!

flashed 32a radio to vodafone 32b

I have a vodafone 32b which i wanted to root and give another rom. I had a perfected spl and used the method to root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218. After succesfully flashing sapphire.img i am stuck on a 32a radio and 1.33.2010 spl. Fastboot isn't working for me so i cant use the method to revert to 32b radio and rom. I have a working goldcard so maybe if someone has a sapphire.img with 32b radio i can convert back. I don't know what to do.
fixed
its fixed! used the 1.5 bug and together with flashrec i was able to install a new 32b rom with a 32b radio!

The 1.5 bug?
some special build from this website http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod. It allows you to install a 1.5 rom with a bug on a perfected magic.
Dude, 1.33.2010 allow to use fastboot.
But now i can flash recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img to my phone right? My radio is already fixed because i installed the 1.5 bug rom. Then i should be able to flash any rom i want?
what is 1.5 bug rom ı need ,t for recovery my phone..
its wrongly uploaded 32 a but phone normally 32B

I use the •Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 one because many forums say it plays nice with other roms and mods and the board. Though I have flashed 2010 and it worked as well. I use those on the MT3G 32b. 1.76 is for 32a. As far as I know on that one you want the 1.76.2007. hope that helps

[Q] Flashing a AUS Vodafone 32B from 2.2.1

Well, I managed to do something which I regret profusely now.
When I heard that the HTC Magic was getting an official update I thought that it would have been a fast, optimised Froyo experience. Boy was I wrong.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that can't open the messaging application without closing the homescreen process and the old methods to root my phone no longer work.
And to top it off, I wanted to use CyanogenMod 4 since 1.6 runs the best on my phone, yet I don't know if I can do that anymore since the update also changed the radio and I think the SPL.
So, long story short, how can I get a 1.6 ROM on this phone now?
Also an unimportant question, would Replicant still work on this phone if it has the new radio?
Is there no one who can help with this?
I was just wondering what ROMs are compatible with the new radio and SPL.
They're 2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013 respectively, I'm pretty sure they are anyway.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932118
for 32b you need SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08 just flash normal ginger yoshi
Another compatible rom
All you need is get root and flash custom recovery, then rom through recovery...
