so i have a mytouch 1.2 and i am wondering what are the differences between each spl and will flashing one over the other change the amount of my internal memory

Sry for the idiotic questions but i am new onto this scene and have little information on what is going on. If someone could please help with my situation it would be greatly appreciated!
I am currently confused on which one to do first.
all tutorials i have seen have said that i need a recovery to flash an engineering spl, and all recovery's need an engineering spl.
I have taken all the steps necessary on the tutorials but all have been rejected. I can never get past the first step of booting it onto my phone.
Which one do i flash to my phone first and how do i do it?
I have downloaded the amonRA recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img but am unable to fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img.
(only cmd that i have entered)
Where do i save the recovery file and what cmd steps am I taking wrong?
Also I have downloaded the Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 and have the zipped folder on my desktop.
tutorial says to send to the root of my SD card.
Were is the root and yet again wht cmd do i need to use to flash this over?
And how do make my phone rooted??

Okay...
I know its a lot to take in at first.
My suggestion is to slow down a bit and tackle one thing at a time.
1. The root of your sd card is what pops up on your pc when you select mount on your mytouch after its attached via usb.
Follow this tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
The files go on a freshly formatted fat32 sd card and in no folders.
For now I wouldn't worry about doing anything with your SPL or radio until this is done with success.
Good luck
Thank you very much for the advice
Ok so that went very smoothly onto my phone.
Now my question is do I have to partition just fat 32 or both fat 32+ext32+swap to get a ROM?
And do i need to flash an engineering SPL before getting a new ROM?
I also see that in the recovery it says format sd fat 32 and format sd fat32+ext2+swap.
Does this relate to the partitioning at all?
Same question for the choice of convert ext2 to ext3?

I see no need to flash SPL or radio if the trick on unlockr allowed you to successfully flash a new ROM. The ROMs here already incorporate super user access. You should NOT flash your SPL unless you have a very good reawson to do it.
As for your partitioning question:
fat32 is standard for removable USB devices and SD cards. EXt2 is default old school linux. EXt2 partition is needed for apps2SD which installs apps on the SD card instead of memory. The swap partition is like windows page file. The Hero based ROMs can use it.
If you have a 32a magic, the general consensus is don't bother, you have enough memory for everything. For 32b magic, I'll let someone else field the question.
do i need to format fat32 to install a Cyanogen ROM?
and on the unlockr video it says to do the wipe in the recovery process before installing the ROM.
DO i need to do that as well?
Well i have hard spl 1.33.0004 and radio 2.22.19.26I on a HTC magic 32b and I find that these ROMS run slow and i get alot of force closes and stuff on nearly all the roms, I have a 125MB SWAP on my sd card which is a class 4 but i will be getting a class 6.
I was thinking is there a better spl and/or radio that i should be using to get the best out of HTC sense so that i might be able to run them smoothly enough that i can run it on a day to day bases?
Hello
If someone can help me identify my phone?
Fastboot says:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
In the configuration, memory and SD-Card gives: Internal memory - 273 MB available (!)
So, it is 32 B, 32 A, or some hybrid?!
Cover has Vodafone logo.
What ROM and recovery will be the best?
At this moment I use Cyanogen 6.0.0.-DS (Ion / myTouch)
Does someone have any idea?…
that is indeed very interesting.... O_O
Doesn't 32A and B both have the same internal storage? I believe yours is 32B but correct me if I'm mistaken.
32 A has different CPU and more RAM (285 MB or something) - 32 B has only 192 MB...
Internal memory = storage space, NOT RAM. You've got a 32B with a confused SPL.

I agree :0)
Both the radio version and the fastboot info indicates that it's pure 32B device.
Maybe flash a eng spl and see if the "unknown" problem goes away.
I see hd2's flash memory size is 512mb. But I get only 169.72 mb of storage. How could that be possible? Even in device info it says that the flash memory size is 512mb!!!
The rest of your ROM storage have been ate by OS and progs
It is used as HDD in your home PC, for storing system files. Maybe you have to reflash other custom ROM which have less progs and without Manila, then you will free some storage IMHO.
It's not so bad in your case, mine shows in memory info tab 219MB total, 69,32MB used and 150MB free space, but in system info flash size is 512 MB as yours.

What version ROM and Radio do both of you have? The reason I ask is to fool your HD2 into thinking it has the 1024MB like the TMOUS you need a 3.14 ROM and a 2.15.5014 or a 2.14.50.xx radio. You also need SPL 3.03.0000 or HSPL 3.03.
I think you are confusing yourself with the ram trick, T-mag.
You can't fool a reg Leo into thinking it has 1024rom (and why would you? No benefit)
If you use the nk.exe taken from any tmous version, cook it into a reg rom (or use the whole tmous rom of course) plus any tmous radio on a reg Leo, it unlocks the extra 128meg ram to match the tmous at 576meg.

Lol, Sam is right, it's a self-fooling thing bggg
I have EU version of HD2, 448MB RAM and 512 MB ROM, that's enough ROM for me cause all progs I do need can be installed on SD.
Hi
i have just installed CyanogenMod 6.1 on my mt3g (without headphone jack)
and i have only 90MB of system memory - isn't that model suppose to be 192MB ram?
my system:
PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
CPLD-10
Radio 2.22.19.261
CyanogenMod 6.1
RA-V1.7.0G
Thanks
yes... but the OS takes some of it..
but i have only 22MB ram available after reboot - very low
i read at somewhere else this could be a Radio issue?
which spl do you have?
Your radio is fine...

You might have silent apps installed killing your memory?
some ram is used for FS's that exist in ram so that they can be temporarily writeable and faster access. Caches and such as well.
But i think the missing "ram" is taken up by the protected parts of the OS. roughly the same is missing from the A and B models, leaving 200MB or so for A models and 90ish for the B models for userspace.
