Why does my 32B think it's a 32A? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

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.

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

Read carefully!
T-Mobile MyTouch 3G version 1.2 (with 3.5" audiojack) IS NOT Magic 32A
Use only manuals with tag [MT3G 1.2]
ya even though it says 32a we are not, we use the 2.xx radio but lots of roms available since the g1 is a 32b
I'm surprised you haven't bricked your phone.

Oh man you have no idea, I almost did! Flashed 6.35 and new spl and my mytouch wouldn't boot! Luckily i had created a gold card!

Did you revert from hboot 1.76 to stock SPL and radio MT3G v1.2 without problem?
I didn't read any successfull story yet.

Yes, the 1.2 is a hybrid but it's really a 32b board at heart.

Yeah! I thought i had bricked for a second, what i did is i tried downgrade from 6.35 and 1.76 spl with goldcard and what happened is that i wouldnt load the goldcard. So what i did i downgraded to 3.22.XX.XXX and 1.33.2010 SPL using the tut i had explained in the begining of this thread. After i downgraded my 32A Sapphire turned into a Sapphire 32B, then i used the goldcard with 3.22 radio and 1.33 spl which worked and i got out from a brick!

I am sick of flashing/waiting for a port.
I know you can do this with the dream as I have done it I want to know if you can do it with the magic.
I look and I am all confused now.
I have:
Sapphire PVT 32a ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT 1.33.2010
Radio 3.22.20.17
Using Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1
I want to continue using Clockwork but don't want to use the ports any more.
Can someone point me in the correct direction.
Thanks

OK you have unlocked SPL and stuff, for magic there are few roms in development section to chose from (sense and sensless). If you want sense ROM it is 2.1 android version and you need Eyegor's radio switcher to switch to 6.xx radio and 1.76 spl and hero recover to install it, but if you want 2.2.1 adnroid version you can flash senseless roms for 32b magic and flash cyanogen kernel to work on your 32a magic. It is your choice which you will install.
Thanks but that isn't exactly what I meant.
I want to use the cyanogen nightlies and others that are in the dream form but I don't want the extra step where you flash the port.
I did this with my dream and I wanted to know if you can do the same for the magic.

Why would you use port????? You have original Rogers sense rom 2.1 android and MyTouch nonsense rom 2.2.1 android. Both are made only for magic no port, MyTouch is for dream too, i noticed that dream adn 32b magic have same specs

[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!
