I have a mytouch-(The original one) and i have a problem. I hacked it a few months ago and everytime i install a rom from the mytouch section it doesnt work but my phone only works with G1 roms.
Please help me fix this.
the roms for the mytouch are generally made for 32a HTC phones different boards and hardware so they wont work as long as the rom as 32B you are good to go

"Hacked it" how?
What kind of original MyTouch do you have?
In other words, what spl, radio, recovery, etc.
well i don't really know how to check spl and radio. etc.
but what i do know is when i start up my phone with Home+Power
Build is RA-Dream-V1.6.2
Do (power+back) to get into fastboot and post that info.

That's Amon's recovery manager, which allows you to do lots of cool things with your phone (flash ROMs, themes, wipe your phone/SD card, and more).
If you want to flash a ROM on your phone, I would suggest looking over in the G1 Android Development section for some ROMs that almost always work with the 32B MyTouch3G phones. Just make sure it's 32B and not 32A.
@Dust but i want to use a Mytouch rom now... i'm tired of using roms over at the G1 develp section when im not even using one.
and for my info here it is..

Then it says fastboot, hboot mode, reset device, restart to hboot, and lastly power down.

You have the MT3G thats not the Fender/1.2 MT3G (No 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top, I have the same phone.)
As far as roms go, you have to go through the G1 roms or find 32B roms. The MyTouch threads are usually 32A roms which are for the Fender/1.2 versions. Some roms will have [32A] or [32A/32B] in the posting. Look for the ones that work on both versions or just 32B.
Try the Rom Bible in the G1 Development Thread. Also, not trying to be an ass, but make sure you know what you are doing before you try to flash a rom onto your phone. The last thing you want to do is brick your phone and have no idea what the specs on your phone are.
also I should add that you can have a Mytouch and have a Hero rom flashed on it. Thats the beauty of rooting and flashing so don't think that you need a Mytouch rom for your Mytouch. The roms are created for the specific model of phone...
oh ok thanks. and yeah when i flash rom i just pick anything and flash... lol
last thing.. since you are using the same phone as me what rom are you using atm?

Just note that if you run a Hero rom then you will have to reboot every so often (about every day or so) and you will not have bluetooth.
Depending on the Hero rom you will also not have camcorder, wifi, livewallpaper, etc.
So... if all that sounds good then go for it.
Personally, I avoid Sense UI roms like the plague.
ok thanks. i am wondering about live wallpapers though because all i have is the maps.. how do i get other live wallpapers?
You look in the market for lwp. I am using the same phone as you too. Running chromatic 4.3 atm. It runs good. Cm 5.0.8 runs really well (2.1). Or enomther has a really good 1.6 just look around and try different ones. That's the fun.

If you want a decent Nexus LWP I recently came across one on Market by stealthcopter.com called Nexus Revamped. They have a paid version as well that has more options. I was so impressed with it that I got the paid version.
thanks guys really helped clear things up.
Using the chromatic and the Nexus LWP now thanks for your suggestions.
I just bought a myTouch 3g.
I have a G1.
Is there anything special I need to know about rooting this phone, and what would be the fastest 2.1+ rom to use?

We'll its really going to depend on your fastboot info (what SPL/radio your using) then you can go from there. The Androot method seems to be the now easiest method and from what I've read has a high success rate. You'll need to get your fastboot information then you can start searching. The answers to your questions are out there. The biggest thing with having the 3.5mm Jack is the ROMs available for it. There aren't many so your choices are limited.

Right.
So if I got the one WITHOUT the 3.5mm jack, I have more options then? okay.
Now, on the G1 some roms require a custom SPL. Is this the same on the MT3g?
Click to expand...

In most cases, no. The original MT3G (no headphone jack) is one of the easiest phones to root, which is kinda awesome. Download universal androot, then rom manager, flash the recovery and then install roms as usual. Way easy!
@can teh man
You NEED to post your information before you can get anyone here to help you.
All that we know at this point is that you have a MyTouch without the 3.5mm jack. But did you know that there are still different versions of your device? If someone gives you instructions (or reference to instructions) that is not meant for your device then you might end up with a broken phone. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS!
Your next post in this thread better be with useful information to properly identify your device or I will delete this thread.
When your device is powered off hold down the volume button while pressing power. It should take you to a white screen. Post ALL information that you see on that white screen here in this thread and then we can help you.
I don't think he's actually got the phone yet. I think he was just trying to get a jump start on getting it rooted once he does. I could be wrong though.

I've got it rooted and I've got Rom Manager, Amon Ra [32B] installed... what do I need to know about radio and SPL for this phone?
I have same phone as u. U have new radio. I flashed 2005 eng spl to mine to get s-off. Fastboot purposes. Use amonra 1.7.0. Just make sure whatever u flash is for 32b. Most Roms for it will be in g1 section. Check the sticky section. Will have spl if u want Eng spl and list of roms. Try them out.

I have AMON RA 1.7.
Is the SPL the reason why I can't use fastboot?
Yeah the S-ON means your SPL has security on which keeps you from running any remote fastboot commands from your computer. If you've already got AmonRa loaded on your phone your good to go and wont need to mess with your SPL/radio. Just start flashing ROMs.

Right on man, I couldn't find the right SPL for my phone. Thanks!
Now I know people have had trouble getting the trackball flashing to work... Does anyone have a suggestion?
I'd like to keep CM6, but I'm willing to revert to a 1.5/1.6 rom if need be.
Just like the title states, I would like to get a 32a mt3g MyTouch 1.2 device back to stock to receive an ota. I tried searching, but I can't find anything. The phone has a cyanogen rom on it.

ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS???
This is really upsetting me. You are actually 100% WRONG!!! You do NOT have a 32A device!!!
Does it say 32A? Obviously. But it is NOT a pure 32A device!
Tell me. What (besides the text on your device) makes your phone a 32A?
Does it take a 32A radio? No.
Does it take a 32A kernel? No.
Is it EB1 compatible? No.
Does it take a 32A rom? No.
So... if your device doesn't take a 32A radio, kernel or rom... then why is it a 32A? IT'S NOT!
Don't believe me that it's not a 32A? Try flashing a 32A radio and 32A spl and have fun with your bricked device. Maybe try flashing a rom and I'll wait for your post asking "Why won't my phone work?"
The only thing that makes your phone anything close to a 32A is the memory. That's it. Nothing else.
What you have is a MyTouch 1.2 (aka Fender, LE)
It's a 32B with 32A memory thus making it a hybrid of the two. How much does ram have to do with unrooting and getting the ota update? It doesn't. So I suggest you do a search for "How to unroot" to get the answer for your 32B device.
Look, bottom line. There is NO MyTouch 32A phones sold by T-Mobile in the United States. That is why you were asked
keinengel said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because anyone that has an American flag or American location on their profile either means that they actually have a 32B device or they had to order it from another country.
By the way, just a warning. If you get the OTA, the Androot method may not work anymore so you would have to use another method other than Androot (or similiar app) to root again (such as goldcard method). Might I suggest a 32B Rooted OTA rom? Try the G1/Dream section.
To add to that even more. What update? As far as I know the update released by T-Mobile was only for the older 32B model of the myTouch 3G, not the Fender/1.2.
Apologies in advance if this issue has been raised elsewhere, but my search has proved fruitless. So here goes with my problem.....
I've followed the unlockr how to root procedure and clicked on the flashrec apk file. It then proceeds to tells me I have a 32A when I have the spec as below;

Could someone please explain what is going on and if I should be using the 6.2G or the 6.2H.
Cheers for any help.
Provide ALL fastboot info
Hi, is this what was missing CPLD -10?
Yes...
You have the 32B board... but using the 32A combo.
You should change the radio and leave the spl be.
Then flash a G version of the recovery..
Flash a 32B rom... and you should be on your way.
Download fastboot commander from my signature (not the magic version, it's for 32A).
Flash this radio: http://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img
And flash this recovery: http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Leave the spl/hboot as it is...
Reboot into recovery and flash a rom for the 32B board... find one in the development section.
Excellent advise - thanks very much for your very helpful and detailed reply.
The range of roms is so extensive I'm confused as to what to go for - if I may, is there one in particular you can recommend for stability/reliability?

Thanks for your reply, I actually flashed froyoredux 1.9.5 before I read it - how does this rom compare with your recommendation? I noticed quite a bit of lag, but that could well be down to my old magic!
Couldn't tell you. I never really got ROM happy since most that I tried ran like crap. CM 5.0.8 was about the best daily driver I could find.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
I'm starting to see what you mean, things have got really slooooow on my phone. Quality always beats style.
Update: Did as you recommended and things are back to normal, good speed and stability, like old 1.5.
By the way, if I was to go for a rom such as ginger yoshi, would I need to change my radio once again to 2.22.28.25?
Changed the radio to 2.22.27.08 and tried a couple of more recent roms such as ginger yoshi and CyanogenMod 7 without success - at least I think they failed as the phone seemed stuck on the htc magic screen.(maybe I didn't wait long enough for it to boot up).
Am I doing something wrong or being simply impatient?
Mumilover,
Out of curiousity/stupidity (phones not valuable so can afford to take risks with it) and in pursuit of an almost totally 'force close free' phone I've changed the hboot to 1.33.0013d and the radio to 2.22.27.08.
I'm happy with the ability to flash more advanced roms, but not happy with the fact (didn't realise I'd turn my phone into a s-on!) that I've made your brilliant fastboot commander tool virtually redundant!
Is there another way to get back to the original set up? Hope you don't mind me asking by the way, as I know your advise was to leave the spl alone!
The first post on the ginger yoshi thread says you'll need to change you're radio to 2.22.28.25 or 27.08. Also, you'll need to change your SPL. (That is, if it hasn't changed from what it was according to your first post.) Hope this helped
update: scratch, that. apparently you've solved your problem already. sorry for not reading ahead >.<
Hello everyone
I just bought a used HTC Dream G1, before that i had a Blackberry 8310 and before that an HTC TyTN.
The G1 i just got is kinda slow...It's using the cyanogen mod and i wish to install a newer and hopefully faster operating system on it.
I really need help, like step by step help and i am willing to provide any info you might require in helping me.
Thanks ahead, much appreciated
EDIT:
just some info on the phone/operating systen
Android version: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod
mod version: cyanogenmod-6.1.0-RC1-DS
build number FRG83
ok sounds good, first thing you need to do is power off your device, than reboot holding the camera+power buttons untill you the 'Bootloader' screen...
On there you will find the provided information we will need to know what the next step is for you
If i dont reply back fast enough and you feel crazy enough to try this on your own, a good place to start is in the guide provided in my signature! Helps you root, un-root and many other things... also may give you a little better understanding of how things work for the device..
anyway, depending on your radio and spl is how we know what you need to do next so get that information for us and im sure we can all help you.

that's all that the screen had to show, there was also an "hboot" button and a <back> FastBoot Mode button.
tried reading about it all a bit, but it seems far too confusing...doesnt seem even remotely similar to how my old hermes used to get flashed...
lol ok, well if thats your phone stats and you say you have cyan running that means you have the minimum rooting done, so your next step is to find out what you would like to do? there are many older roms you can flash that are compatible with your radio/spl.... but they are old...
or you can take the next step and upgrade your radio and spl to flash the latest roms... which kick ass for todays standards of the G1...
basically what you want to do is pick up on step 1 of that guide to flash the 'Danger spl', than continue on with the radio's and hboot files untill your device is at 2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013d
if you need any help on the proccess let me know, before you cause any harm (bricking) your device... first things first!!! is your g1 a US or UK model?
hmmm...i'm not sure actually, it has a T-Mobile logo on it...
any way for me to check?
uhhhhmmmm im not sure exactly... google? lol i have the US model and it also says tmobile across it... but i dont want to assume you have us, so just check that and let me know... i can help you if its a us model lol
I think i figured out a way to figure it out (that sounded weird)...
Does your phone have a QWERTY keyboard or a QWERTZ keyboard?
Did a little poking around, and since my G1 has a QWERTZ keyboard, i guess it comes from germany and when i did a hard reset to day it reverted to german language, so i'm pretty sure it's german
ooo yup ok thats def not us model lol uhhhmmmm i know with rooting and stuff there are some files on my guide that shouldn't be flashed on your phone... im sure there's many guides out there to help you though... you still want the same goal, which is radio 2825 and spl 0013d, so than you can flash good roms
Thanks for the help
I'll give it a go tomorrow seeing as how it's 4AM right now
k, if you need help let me know
Hello there,
just wanna ask if you have upgraded already your radio and spl? i have the same info on my G1 as yours, im afraid to brick my phone, since i once brick another G1 already
Nah, i haven't done it yet, i'm too scared of bricking the thing. But i'll be sure to post in this topic if i do get the courage to do it.
Damn...i still don't know which rom/other things i'm suppose to use...anyone wanna help?
@jhenards: well, it turns out that i didn't need to update my radio or SPL. I just needed to flash a new ROM on it.
I'll link you to the tutorial i used.
Before you do anything else, make a backup in Titanium Backup so you can just restore your apps later.
Also make one in Nandroid (here's a tutorial for that http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Using_the_Recovery#NANDroid_backups)
Download Cyanogenmod 6.1.0DS ==> http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
Download Google Apps (tiny) ==> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
Then flash those using this tutorial ==> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Installing_CyanogenMod_5+#Installing_CyanogenMod_ROM
And after everything is done restore your backups using Titanium Backup and use this tutorial to make your phone very very fast:
http://nctritech.wordpress.com/2010...rmance-no-swap-compcache-or-10mb-hack-needed/
That's how i did it
if you dont upgrade your radio/spl then you should consider either super d or super e, they dont get much better than these with the older combo
also try super csdi and even though lots of people disagree, there are some nice sense roms out there that run pretty fast and stable on the older radio/spl
but if your ready to update there is a ton of awesome roms out there that will bring the g-1 back to life!
good luck!
You should definitely upgrade your radio and spl.it gives you more ram to work with,how can you go wrong with that when all you want is a faster phone. But do take your time with the learning curve
