quick help mytouch 32b

i have a mytouch, 32b magic, with the "perfect spl".
i have downgraded and installed amon ra's 1.3.? recovery, i believe all i need to do is install the enganeering(however you spell it) spl but i can't download from rapidshare as i'm a free user and it keeps saying try later. i don't have money to become a premium user, is there anyone out there with the spl that doesn't mind sending it to me via email?? valefour611.at.aol.com
this would be greatly appreciated.
one last thing, i don't know how to check if i have root access... the steps i've mentioned are all i've done, is there something i'm missing other than installing the ENG spl before i attempt to flash a rom???
i came from a G1 that i downgraded and rooted with the whole typing "telnetd" and what not... it was reflashed over and over without any problems... installed the danger spl and redone everything when cyanogen released the "bare bones" roms so please don't talk smack about searching and all that junk because i am posting this as my last resort. been working on the mytouch for hours and got the downgrade and recovery from searching but now i'm just stuck without the proper spl.
any help is greatly appreciated, thanx.

sounds good man... lol
anywho, i don't really know what i did but powering on with the "back" button held down gave me these readings:
HBOOT - 1.33.2005
CPLD - 10
RADIO - 2.22.19.26I
does that mean i'm good to go and will be able to flash roms now??
i was looking for roms and the sapphire forums are hella clutered... what's a good rom to flash??? i like the cyanogen roms but don't know which one to try or where to find them as it seems he doesn't post how to flash his roms to 32b users on here(???). any rom will do, just need a name of one that isn't laggy.
thanx again.

yeah, thanx for all the help guys.
i got everything working flashed the latest cyanogen rom. ^_^

which rom is best ?

hey guys, i have the evil hero 2.7 rom on my mytouch 3g and its lags alot. can anyone give a suggestion on which rom is best? ( as in fast)
could you give me the link to it.?

You have a really outdated recovery so get the latest Amon_RA recovery for you device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 (This link is for magics but you can find the device that you need in the first post)
I would recommend MLIGN Hero ROMs, KingKlick Hero ROM, or SenseHero. There is a little thing called searching so please do.

ok so i did some searching and found that using the 'better terminal emulator' is a faster way of flashing the recovery image but i have to pay for it....so is there another way? (by the way sorry for the questions i feel bad making you explain so much)

someonee.?

You can just use terminal emulator (free market download) to flash the recovery, but personally, I just do it through fastboot (if you have an engineering SPL you can too). No you don't need to change your recovery to change roms, but it's good to have the latest version (as of now, Amon Ra's 1.6.2 is the newest, check the link posted by UberMario).

ook so checked out some sites, it showed different ways on how to install MLIGN 3.3 so i just gave up and it was confusing. but i want to try this fast test 3.0 out instead. so i used sapping to put my phone back to 1.5 ( as in no roms or anything ). what should i do in getting fast test 3.0? ive checked some sites but they only show how to do on G1 not on a mytouch 3g. so can anyone give a link(s) on where to go to start out?

i tried searching some info but either the instructions werent for a mytouch 3g or the intructions werent clear. ( Most sites would be explaining the whole process in like 3 sentenses, its so dumb)

Go with Super D 1.9.3.

cyanogenmod ..the best balance of speed and stability...
also please please please read up a little more before you start flashing.. dont want to see you back here saying you have a bricked phone..
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page
more specifically see here (under HTC Magic)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#Upgrading_from_Vanilla:_Installing_your_first_mod
and since your running a mt3g make sure to follow the directions for 32B
if you cant follow that guide you shouldnt bother with custom roms..

look for "android terminal emulator" in market...it actually allows you to type numbers in the terminal!! (OMG!)
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.jackpal-androidterm-zxnC.aspx
and its free
CM is best

personnaly I found using android SDK the easiest of all since you can modify your phone directly from your computer. instead of typing on that little keyboard of android.

cyanogen 5.0.7

i am trying to figure out how to install this rom on my g1 it is freshly rooted g1, i had instructions for installing rom and google addons but lost page.. can anyone plase tell me where a good guide for installing this rom is? thanks

All the info you need is here:
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-g1-dream-how-tos/
Or in XDA Forums. If you are rooted you are half way there, also check your SPL (you need DangerSPL).
Good luck.

To keep it simple I would just flash one of the kangs of it like cannon202's CompleteEclair 2.2. I recommend this because this rom does not require DANGER spl. Download it HERE, put it on your sdcard, turn the phone off and apply the update and the gapps.

[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.

Recovery Mode / ROM Flash help...

Searched & not found a solution...Sorry if this is in wrong thread.
I have a MT3G 1.2 (32A) --> Stock ROM, just rooted it.
Trying to install CyanogenMod ROM --> I boot into recovery mode and get the big Triangle with the yellow exclamation point above the image of a phone.
I am new to android development/hacking, and have read a lot, but can't seem to figure out what this issue is.
I can pull the battery & reboot no problem, and can boot into fastboot no problem. This ROM apparently has to be done via recovery mode, which I'm still trying to figure out, hence my issue.
I've found some awesome step-by-step instructions on how to root & do other things, but I seem to get a bit confused when trying to follow the step-by-steps of installing a custom ROM....even following: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...anogenMod_5+ The issue for me is when am I entering data on the phone & when am I doing it on my PC TO the phone via shell, etc.
Any help ... a link to a tutorial I've missed or explanation as to why I'm getting the jacked icon on my phone would be greatly appreciated.

First... wrong section. Your post belongs in General because it's not Development related.
Second... you just need to flash a custom recovery. Use Amon_Ra's 1.7.0G or ClockworkMod recovery for Google devices.
By the way... I want to make this clear. You do NOT have a 32A phone! You have a 32B. Even though it says 32A, the only thing that it 32A is the amount of memory. You need 32B kernels, radios, roms, etc.

Thanks Bin...sorry for wrong section...
Question: So how on earth would I know I don't have the 32A & need to use 32B ROMs, etc.
This is the Tmobile MT3G with 3.5 mm jack (not fender edition)...When I power up with the vol down, it EVEN SAYS "Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-On G
By that theory, I should be able to just use the Tmobile update that came out for the 32B, right? Everything I've read says that's NOT the case. Please help me understand this before I go bricking my phone by flashing wrong combo of stuff...
Thanks!

Nope... probably not. Because the normal 32B device have a different memory map and different drivers (touch screen and headphone jack) the OTA for 32B devices may not work either. Also our devices have twice as much RAM that is only available in kernels that are built specifically for 32A devices that use 32B radios. The only device like that is the one you're using. Otherwise if you use a 32B rom that isn't built specifically for your type of device you only get half of the ram. Hey, you have the same device as I do.... and I bought it (via upgrade) when it came out. Now I have to wait another 12+ months before I can do another upgrade. Obviously, I regret doing it. You have two options, flash a custom rom from the G1 section, or unroot and wait for the official OTA. Unfortunately I have lost interest in this device and am waiting to either purchase the MyTouch 4G or the Nexus S at full price when the prices drop a little. Until then, like you, I'm stuck.

Thanks again Bin! Yeah, I got this phone off ebay for $100 last month after dropping my HD2 - I don't qualify for an upgrade until end of February -- I'm hoping something really fun is announced at CES in a couple weeks. I love the nexus S, but am not getting a phone that doesn't support HSPA+ !!! Same reason I wouldn't get the HD7 -- maybe the rumors will be true & we'll get the dual-core LG Optimus 2X !!!! THat's a sweet lil piece of hardware.
Anyway, back to this phone...alright so you're telling me that none of the 32A ROMS will work on this phone either? THat might explain why I've been having trouble installing custom ROMs - I am rooted & have ClockWorkMod's recovery.
I tried flashing the newest cyanogenmod ROM (update-cm-6.1.0=DS-signened.zip and the kernel but it didn't work & I tried the 2.2.1_Frg83D-32a.zip ROM too...both locked up & I had to recover...
Not asking you what ROM I should install, but which ones have worked & you like? Are you saying the G1 ROMs will work on this phone/battery, etc.?
Or should I switch the SPL/Radio combo that my phone says it has to install other 32A ROMs? I'm really confused now.
Thanks for your help!!!
WOW, I didn't WIPE before I installed the ROM...that solved my problem...now time to play with my new phone toys....thanks again for your help!!!

No problem. Just stick with 32B roms and don't bother changing your radio or spl. Too much work for little (if any) accomplishment.

If you want to flash CM6.1, be careful of what you do to the radios / spl... you need a specific version of these to be compatible with CM (unless you start looking at specialized kernels...)
I think the CM wiki mentions which versions are compatible....
