Hello all,
Sorry for such a dumb question been a while since I have tinkered with my mt3g. I remember that the bluetooth don't work on hero and some stuff ran better on 32a software but for the life of me I can't find out how to do it.
I already have a root mt3g running kings droid eris port and would like bluetooth since that is what I use mainly and not working on this build so i wanted to tinker with some of the 32a ones on here. Does anyone know how to change this on the phone? If i recall correctly you fastboot the 32a radio then a 32a recovery and then what ever rom. But no sure and don't want to brick my phone.
currently has the 1.33.2005 spl showing 32b s-off h
Thank you guys.
Does anyone know any ideas. I remember can be done just can't find the steps anymore. Please help LOL
based on my understanding 32B and 32A refer to board models. 32A has more memory and better parts compared to 32B. i would advice you not to put and 32A rom on your phone(32B) as it can be unsafe.
If you need bluetooth why dont you switch to a rom that supports bt and some more? that would be the safest way.
Actually, you can do this, however, this is typically only done if you are trying to get root access with a perfected SPL. Such as 1.33.0007. But most people that do this revert back to a 32B once they flash a non perfected spl.

Are you saying that it is possible to put a 32A rom on a 32B model? If so that would be awosome. But why other people kept on reverting back?

Ok, I will admit I am a total noobie with Android based phones. I have been on the Blackberry platform for years.
I just got my magic yesterday.
To my knowledge it has not been updated yet.
How would I go about seeing if it can be rooted? And what is the best way to get it rooted, if it can be?
I am an IT guy, I am not afraid to try things out, so give me some steps and I will do them ASAP.
Thanks!
1st, boot the phone by holding the back & power buttons. Tell us EXACTLY what is on the first 5 lines at the top of the screen.
From there you will know if your phone is rootable...
It says:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009, 21:02:32 .
does this help?
Those specs were the same as mine. I used the Relentless Rooter software to root my phone. It was free then but you now have to pay (you can find it in the app forum).
You can also use the unlockr one click method. Check his site and video. Remember to use the instructions for 32A. Some posters wrote that they could not use this method (flashrec) to flash the latest Amon_Ra recovery and the solution was to shorten Amon_Ra's recovery's name. I know this sounds foreign language right now, but I do suggest you read and research a bit, specially the comments posted under the unlockr's method.
Once rooted, you can find various custom Roms for 32A in the developers section. Make sure the Rom fits your radio and SPL.
Oh, once rooted, I would suggest changing your SPL 1.33.009 to an engineered SPL, like mine (I use 1.33.2010). You can do a search at google or within the developers forum to find out why.
CONSIDER YOURSELF EXTREMELY FORTUNATE, you have a HTC Magic with an OLD non perfected SPL. Hell it isn't even a protected SPL you can load custom roms right away without having to flash a a new SPL.
HTC Magic with that SPL are becoming rarer by the day.
I would look into what ROMs you're interested in, if you want a 1.6 ROM, I would recommend Cyanogen 32A Port or Amon_RA's 1.6 ROM.
If you don't need 1.6 and like Sense UI (I suggest youtubing Sense UI and Stock Android to see which you prefer), CursorDroid's Sense UI ROM is in my opinion the BEST ROM available for the HTC Magic.
Cyanogen and Amon_Ra's ROM will work with your current SPL (I believe). While CursorDroid's requires you to flash the SPL and Radio of your phone. Which is a bit intimidating for novices but if your well prepared and pay close attention to instructions it's easy.
Thanks to all, I used some simple instrutions.
I now have:
6.35.10.18 Radio
1.76.2007 SPL
And I installed the CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1 rom.
This is way better.

Maybe it was a new Magic which the person obtained from the HTC Dream upgrade.

Then for sure it was updated. Rogers wouldn't send out units with the bugged ROM.
I use a HTC Magic 32B, i know this is a pretty noob question, but i keep seeing you MUST have the newest radio,
My Radio- 2.22.19.26I
I'm not sure where the SPL is.. LOL
Any help is really appreciated, Thanks guys!
From my knowledge, whenever I see newest radio it is the 6.35.xx which you should not even touch because you're on the 32B. I believe you can use 3.22.xx but you should research that yourself and see what other 32B users are using. I'm 32A so don't just trust everything I just said! You might brick lol
The SPL is the HBOOT that you'll see, it's something similar to 1.xx.xxxx
Since you didn't even know where the SPL is, do some research before asking the most simple questions which can be found with a simple search! You don't wanna be like the other members who don't even bother searching, then decide to flash crap they don't know to their phone which ends up with a beautiful brick! so first, I'd suggest you not play with SPL/Radio yet (most likely to brick), Then I'd recommend you to do some MORE research
My Magic looks like this:
Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.23.18
I've been reading this and other forums for awhile now trying to find a "simple" way to get froyo on it but cant seem to find one, there's just too many options and possibilities for my little head to handle.
So now a few questions:
I heard you could overclock it, is it worth it and will it be stable?
Is it even possible to get froyo on it without following a 1mil step guide?
And considering the above to be "yes" the magic question all noobs ask... How?
All the radio and root stuff confuses me, if only it could be done with just a random rom and not having to do anything else
PS. Yes i know others ask about roms often but i have been reading about it for so long now without getting anywhere, i have to get some clear answers to get anywhere...
-The OC dosent give you any mind blowing performance increase (better performance is only noticable with certain games), 576 mhz is stable, other I don't know, your phone will not melt or anything (on 576).
- for any new magic (android) phone you must do a rather "long" procedure before you can start flashing stuff.
- read the whole 32A wiki, also read part 2
- read how to flash radio and spl
- Look into rom bible for roms you might like
- I would recommend cyanogen mod 5.0.8 (2.1) to use as a daily rom, froyo has many bugs
- and don't be hasty, read the wiki again if yu have to, almost every thing is explained there
- don't brick your phone!
happy flashing
"Perfect" SPL Revisions (which prevent us hacking)
Currently HBOOT-1.33.0006, HBOOT-1.33.0010 and HBOOT-1.33.0014 are the known 'Perfect SPL' revisions on the Sapphire handsets that we know of.
It is not possible to fastboot a ROM if you have one of these SPLs; you need to wait until someone has hacked it.
Edit (12 Aug 2009) : Now you can! Refer to "blabla cant post link i'm new user"

Seems i have a perfect SPL, have somebody developed an easy fix for that?
Quoting the link:
Proceed on your own risk, you might brick your phone!!!
This method is written for the original MT3G back in 2009, DONT USE IT on the Fender/MT3G 1.2!!!

Got no clue what Fender/MT3G 1.2 is...
Fender is the limited edition myTouch that T-Mobile marketed and he 1.2 is the mytouch's with the 3.5mm jack on top. Since you've got a perfected SPL, the goldcard method is about the only way to root it, AFAIK.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to figure out the best thing to do with my phone.
I bought this HTC Rogers Magic+ from second hand and it has a myTouch 3g ROM installed on it.
However, I think the radio version isnt what it should be on this board. When I go into fastboot I see:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-OFF G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP*****)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
But when trying to attempt a flashrec I see, 32B. Can anyone look at this and let me know what the best thing for me to do is? I am still a beginner with a lot of this, and not sure if I should flash the radio or ??? Just want to try to get the phone back to factory so that I can start fresh. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
Ive read on here that even when you want to flash there is no need. i've read much yet still am a little scary so ...
this might be a good start for you guys:

hope it helps.
there should be a lot good info there for you, if not read a couple sticky threads in the development section/forum here on xda and you'll be good to go soon!
greetz,

I have a Mytouch 3G with the 3.5mm jack.

When I bought the phone (used) it came with 2.2.1
I was able to root the phone by downgrading to 1.6 using HBOOT and then using Universal Androot. I then installed Amon_RA's recovery (RA-sapphire-v1.7.0) using Rom manager.
I want to install Ginger yoshi but I don't understand the information regarding the SPL and the Radio.
I tried installing an Engineering SPL using the recovery mode but this caused the phone to stop booting either normally or to recovery. I had reinstall 1.6 using HBOOT and perform the rooting process all over again.
Do I need to change anything regarding the SPL and Radio in order to install Ginger yoshi or for it to work better?
Is there a different kernel I need to flash in order for it work or work better?
I realize a lot of this is addressed in various posts but I feel I've gotten too close to bricking for comfort and I need some advice specific to my situation.
Edit: I'm not at all set on using Ginger yoshi. I'm totally open to suggestions as far as Roms. I'd prefer a GB rom that's as fast as possible.
Changing the radio on your phone will have little to no effect on anything. Changing the spl will give you a not fully functional device.
If you want to use Ginger yoshi then yo will have to flash another kernel after. They have one in their download folder. The fender one.
A lot of roms (ezgingerbread ad cos are the ones i use) use autokernel so you don't have to deal with that
Oh also I think ezgb is much faster than the others probably beause it doesn't have all the cyanogenmod features (bloat). light and fast

Thank you very much for your response. I'm probably going to install ezgingerbread but I have one question first. Do you know what the ginger yoshi post means when it says:
RADIO AND SPL INFO
for 32b you need SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08
for 32a you need SPL 1.33.2010 or 1.33.2009 and RADIO you will need the old radio(3.22)

That's the part that got me confused. Can I just ignore that?
