[Q] Please Help Noob root/Rom his Slow MT3G

Hello everyone. Ive been using android os for a while but i never hacked it and when i looked into it... it was always blurry there are 3 types of MT3Gs
I dont even know which radio board mine is...
All I know is its white it has an old mini usb port and it is slow as hell.
I want to root it and possibly throw a rom with froyo on it... and possibly overlock it a bit and make pinch to zoom work.
Please can someone give me step by step instructions.... as to explaining which mt3g i have and what i need to download... (everything in noob terms please)
Thank You All who read

Hold down back+power and you'll get a screen with 3 skateboarding androids. Copy the text from there and put it up here. Also, I'm almost positive aquick search of "which mytouch do I have" in Google would have turned the same steps up.

[Q] Original ROM for Magic

Can anyone help?
Last year i installed a Hero ROM on my Vodafone HTC Magic with help from this guy: http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/
Everything worked great, except for the fact that it runs really slowly sometimes and takes an age to do anything. I want to return back to the original Magic ROM (or as near as i can get to it) so that it runs faster and responds as it did originally. I have read through loads of forums and the majority say i need to root my Magic first. Because i have already put the Hero ROM on, does that mean the phone is now rooted? I am starting to get lost in all the different reports and would like some clarification on what i need to do, and where i can get a working ROM from. Hopefully the following info will help.

My phone 32A and 32B??

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:

Hi yaguilao. Welcome to XDA!
This thread will help you to root, flash a custom recovery, and upgrade to a magic SPL. A magic SPL will give you much more control over your device and make it easier to recover if you have any problems.
Once you have the custom recovery and magic SPL, you'll be able to install custom ROMs as often as you want.
This forum has threads for HTC Magic/Sapphire/MyTouch custom ROMs.
Some tips:
Make sure you know exactly what model you have: if it has a headphone jack, it's a Fender/1.2. If it doesn't have a headphone jack, it's a regular 32B. Before you flash anything, make sure it is compatible with your device.
Once you have a working radio + magic SPL + custom Recovery, your life will be much easier. The phone will be hard to kill as long as you don't try to change radio/SPL/Recovery after that.
Before you do something, read the forums. As much as you can. A lot of people have made mistakes, so you can learn from them.
If you've read everything but you still have concerns, post a question on the forums.​
Good luck!
