Hero rom on mytouch 1.2 - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Ok so i finally rooted my myouch 1.2 but now , How do i install custom roms on it. I am only able to succesfully install the st0kes-v1.5.1-MT3G-LE ROM
all others do not load.
i have the 1.62 G amon recovery and the 2.22.23.02 Radio
I want to install the Hero rom is this possible? and how do I do it.
Please Help Thanks

you need to have a kernel port for the mytouch 1.2 of any rom you want to run.
just look in the Mytouch/Magic dev forums and see which roms are available for Mytouch 1.2/LE/Fender and install from there..
if the rom that you are looking for does not have the kernel port file, or is not compiled for the 1.2/le/fender then you are out of luck..

Some help for a newbie. CM mod help

So yesterday i decided to root my HTC magic 1.2 (my touch 3.55mm jack)
Root went well (had a small problem finding the correct sappimg but i found it,
Got Ra's recovery working as well and flashed an allmost stock fender rom/w root.
worked with no problems.
wanted to try 2.1 (eclair i think) So i flashed a str0kes rom. went easy looked cool but was too buggy for me (no usb teather! or wireless teather! or BT)
so then i wanted to try CM and i've had alot of trouble trying to understand the steps for flashing this rom, i was able to get it running (touch screen and all) but it was very slow
what i had try to do was just flash the cm mod update. (hell it worked)
then i came accross this
[Rom][32a][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/28/2010) Mod Revision-2
Witch sounded awesome
I had no idea how to downgrade(i think i got close?!)
Or what i really had to do, i was able to get to the andriod screen but it hung right there. i tryed flashing the downgraded spl and rom but it refused to boot passed HTC magic screen. tryed flashing a diffrent radio and spl and it bricked (update fail ) so i have a new one on the way and my buddys to pratice on.
Can anyone help me/ explain to me how to install the oc'd rom?
Thanks in advance and sorry for you're time
If you would read, you'd notice that the newest release from Cyanogen himself says it will work with myTouch 1.2. You need the kernel for 32A, the ROM, and the Google add on. Flash them in that order and your good to go. I've been running it on a myTouch 1.2 that I rooted using instructions from unlockr and here and it works perfect.
I can't post a link, but the thread in under Dream development as Lean Mean Pastry Machine.
BTW, I would not recommend running 5.0.7 OC. 528 was FAST... Super D fast.
WEll i fugred out what lead to the bricking of my phone. apparently the downgrade guide i followed was for the older 32A models.... Dang...
So after rooting with a gold card i should flash the 32A kernel via ra's recovery then flash the cm mod?
(how do i install the google apps?)
I may try this out soon on my other my touch (brrowed my dads lol..till monday when my new one gets to me!)
The unlockrs guide was helpful, i pretty much memorized the rooting process
-creategold card
- transfer sappimg
update via hboot.
Flash radio and spl for touch screen.
Then flash amon ra's recoery rom correct?
After that i should boot into recovery flash the kernel then cm mod? should i reboot back to recovery after wards?
So can anyone hook me up with a little instruction?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

[Q] ROMs compatible with MT3G 1.2?

I posted this in Development by way of ignorance. so I am posting in the correct section this time. hopefully someone will take pity on me.
Hey guys. sorry if this has been asked before, but im just needing a little clarification. i just rooted my MT3G 1.2 and loaded CM6 stable ROM from Cyanogenmod's site. it is a great ROM, but im looking around for a vanilla 2.2 or 2.1 ROM and don't really know much about compatibility compared to other MT3G phones.
How am i supposed to know what ROMs on this site work for MT3G 1.2 and which ones don't?
The devs include supported radios in their ROM thread. They'll also usually have it listed in the thread title. I will warn you that there aren't many.

thanks for the info. at the moment my radio says 2.22.23.02 so i dont really know what ROM works with it when i only usually see 3.22 and 6.35... sorry. im just really ignorant when it comes to flashing.
They'll say myTouch 1.2 specifically. The 2.22 radio is normally a 32B radio but that's where the 1.2 is unique. It uses a 32B radio with a 32A board. Worse case scenerio that I've seen so far if you flash a ROM that isn't compatible is that you'll either start booting and it'll never finish, the touchscreen wont work, or you get thrown into a boot loop. All 3 are fixes by flashing a compatible ROM. I tried CM 6 and was unsatisfied with the performance so I downgraded to CM 5.0.8 and its worked pretty well for me for about 3 months now. Whatever you do, do not try flashing a different radio or SPL as you'll most likely end up with an expensive paperweight.

thank you very much for the info. at this moment, i am re-installing cm6 to see if it fixes a problem im having with Google Listen. if it does not, i already have cm5.0.8 on my sd card ready to be installed. i will keep an eye out for any new ROMs that work with this phone.
I really do want to try the Rogers 2.1 ROM thats out there right now, but im very scared of loading it without confirmation that it will work.
Rom Bible
Check the Rom Bible,
It has a list of the roms that have been used on our devices. I have used Chromatic, CM and Complete Eclair. As far as vanilla goes, try just flashing the fender stock rom and re-root with the Universal Androot application. This may be vanilla enough for you. I did that and it was too vanilla and settled on Chromatic 4.5. Although I am anxiously waiting for either Cyanogen or Chromer to get the Nexus One update loaded in. Good luck buddy it's rough out there for us MT3g1.2 guys. Oh, Dont use any Rogers rom's this will diffently mess with your phone. I was lucky enough just to experience boot loop but come to find out it could have easily been bricked.
Edit: by the way, I have been having trouble with the Rom Manager when it comes to flashing roms. I use Rom Manager for the back ups and restores. But when it comes to flashing a new rom use the RA Recovery 1.0.7G it works all the time. Otherwise you will get a Status 7 installation aborted.

thanks a lot for that advise. i did have a fender mytouch that bricked from goldcard error. i do agree that it was too vanilla for any real use. i just personally am getting a little tired of ADW. when you have something good for too long, it gets boring, but i by no means dislike it and will use any ROMs that have it. I will be checking on Chormatic right now to see what its like.
also, i always go into recovery for installing ROMs now. I usually also use Nandroid from the ClockWorkMod recovery to backup

So did you use the AMON Recovery so that you could get the 32a Cyanogen ROM? I ask this because when I use the ROM Manager user interface and use the "HTC/Magic(GSM)" recovery then my MyTouch 3G 1.2 will not boot into recovery mode at all but I can download 32A ROMS. However when I use the "ION/MyTouch 32(GSM)" recovery manager I can boot into recovery and I can download 32B ROMS. However the only ROM Manager ROMs I can downolad via the user interface are 32B ROMs. Clearly I have a 32A phone so I can run 32B ROMs but I believe it will not use all of my memory so I am going to try and manually load 32A ROM HTC/Magic(GSM) while running the the 32B recovery ION/MyTouch 32(GSM). I am however wondering if your running the AMON Recovery so that you could load the Cyanogen 6.0.0-DS 32A or if you are running the Cyanogen 6.0.0-DS 32B.

See my fourth post. You can't run any ROM's that are specifically for 32A or 32B phones. The myTouch 1.2 is a hybrid and can only run ROM's specifically made for it. You don't have to use ROM Manager to download new ROM's. You can go to www.cyanogenmod.com, register for an account, and then go to their forum to download CM 6.0.0-DS and GApps. Take those two files and copy them to the root of your SD card, then load up recovery and flash from there. You'll also need to do a full wipe, but I'll let you do the research on that.
P.S. - CM 6.0.0-DS is for both 32A and 32B phones as well as the 1.2. The only difference is that the 32A phones need the EBI1 kernel flashed with everything else. For the 32B/1.2 you only need to install CM 6.0.0-DS and the Google Apps .zip.

By what I've experienced, that's not necessarily true, I've flashed (specifically) 32B ROMs from the G1 section that have run great, such as a Sense ROM, CaNNon Eclair (does NOT say "MyTouch 1.2 support" in either thread).
What I'm trying to say is that its kind of a trial-and-error thing, if you see a ROM for the MyTouch3G or G1 that looks cool, make a Nandroid Backup, then flash it. If it doesnt work, so be it, if it does, SWEET!
Note my sig, i have a MyTouch 1.2
Is there a port of Froyd by villianrom team for Sapphire, LE 1.2 yet ?? Really really really would be sooooo great if someone could port that awsome rom
still looking for any ROMs that are confirmed for 1.2
checked the ROM bible, but its a little difficult to see which actually works this phone with all the radio numbers in each title.
Supported Roms
If you go to CyanogenMod's website, and look for the HTC Magic forum, it lists all supported roms for our MyTouch3G 1.2 phones. I am currently using CM6 and have no problems with it.
i just checked the pinned ROM bible again. apparently i was looking at a different post with the same title, the one pinned does have 1.2 version ROMs
im using CR_Slide2G1_v1 at the moment. some things dont work, but all-in-all, its a great copy of the MyTouch Slide OS. even the sense clock works perfectly.

Need HELP

OK I just permroot my mytouch 4g easy now can any one tell me what I can do now and what roms are better and what's gingerbread 2.3.1 I'm new to this can some one help
cyanogen mod 7 is 2.3 (gingerbread based) solid rom and can't go wrong with it. Check the resource bible before flashing it though (need clockwork recovery 3.00)....any froyo based (2.2) roms you only need 2.00 recovery images. Have fun and read through the resource bible before doing anything,

[Q] - About HTC Magic and his potentials

Hello there guys,
I am a newbie android user and i just got HTC Magic at my hands. I had HTC Click before and had rooted & flashed it to CM7 but it was clear and straight with auto-root one click and flashing rom. Now i need help 'cause I have no idea what to do to speed up my HTC magic 'cause it's waaaaay too slow!
Here are it's specs and my questions:
HTC Magic 32B (from Germany, The Vodafone one)
Android Version: 2.2.1 official
Baseband Version 65.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25
ALSO
Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-On G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO - 2.22.28.25
if needed!
These are things I know about my phone.
So my questions are:
1) Is there a way to root & flash a custom rom so i can speed up my cell without the danger of bricking it (i read some things over the forum for such problems in my version 32B)
2) Is the cracked rom (CM for example) version faster than the official one?
3) If it's not safe can i downgrade to 1.6 official rom so it's faster?
Considering i'm a new user please answer accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your time and your answers,
M.
Use superoneclick or gingerbreak to root.
Flash a custom recovery with rom manager.
Cm dropped support and the last official version for the magic is 6.1. It slows down over time.
Ezgingerbread is the fastest gb rom for d/s.
Dreamteam froyo is a quite fast froyo rom. I recommend it over cm (and I am not biased at all /sarcasm). I am currently running a web site on it with great uptime and good performance.

hello there and thanks for helping!
i did rooted my cell with gingerbreak and did the 'recovery AMON-RA' thing
but now how can i flash a rom? is there any tut on how to flash SPLs and
Radios and ROMs? 'cause i'm a bit dizzy with all these new infos over here
Thanks again,
M.
btw i want this ROM to be installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932118
You are already on the latest radio/spl so flashing that is a bad idea
To flash a rom just reboot into recovery and follow the menu to flash it.
Why Ginger yoshi? If you want fast, any gingerbread is a bad idea
i've put this ROM now and it's quite fast but not enough as i wanted. no serious improvement and it's lack of android's 'navigation' :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
i think i'm gonna try this one, what do you think of?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576893
If you want fast, gingerbread and sense ate the wrong way to go.
Ezgingerbread is the best gb rom we have.
Try my dreamteam froyo rom (should be in my sig). Its quite fast.
I finally flashed the DreamTeam froyo ROM and it's WAY faster than the previous. I love this ROM, thanks a lot for your help m8!

This thread should tell you everything:
[Guide][ALL DEVICES]ROOT + flash custom recovery + fix perfected spl ​
You can also look at the stickied threads in this forum for more information. If you run into trouble, let us know.
Also:
Always backup your device before flashing something new.
If you want to flash a radio or an SPL and you aren't 100% sure that you're using the right versions, ask someone. It's easier to fix problems before they happen ​
Cheers.
