You're going to have to start providing more information if you want help.
I added contents to your post from another post that you were asking help on.
Since they are both related I should be merging them however in this case I'll make an exception because it will increase the odds of you getting the help that you need. I only ask that once you get your ROM flashed report both of your posts so that I can come back and close/delete them. Or at least edit your titles with [SOLVED] so it doesn't attract any unnecessary/unrelated traffic and posts.
Good luck

change from 32b to 32a?

Hello all,
Sorry for such a dumb question been a while since I have tinkered with my mt3g. I remember that the bluetooth don't work on hero and some stuff ran better on 32a software but for the life of me I can't find out how to do it.
I already have a root mt3g running kings droid eris port and would like bluetooth since that is what I use mainly and not working on this build so i wanted to tinker with some of the 32a ones on here. Does anyone know how to change this on the phone? If i recall correctly you fastboot the 32a radio then a 32a recovery and then what ever rom. But no sure and don't want to brick my phone.
currently has the 1.33.2005 spl showing 32b s-off h
Thank you guys.
Does anyone know any ideas. I remember can be done just can't find the steps anymore. Please help LOL
based on my understanding 32B and 32A refer to board models. 32A has more memory and better parts compared to 32B. i would advice you not to put and 32A rom on your phone(32B) as it can be unsafe.
If you need bluetooth why dont you switch to a rom that supports bt and some more? that would be the safest way.
Actually, you can do this, however, this is typically only done if you are trying to get root access with a perfected SPL. Such as 1.33.0007. But most people that do this revert back to a 32B once they flash a non perfected spl.

Are you saying that it is possible to put a 32A rom on a 32B model? If so that would be awosome. But why other people kept on reverting back?

Can you tell us what your current spl and radio is?
By the way... how is this related to Apps or Games?
Wrong section and not enough information.
Give me one reason not to close this thread.
I'll move it to General but for future reference I'm going to start just deleting posts that aren't posted in the right section and the OP may even receive a ban for a day or two for repeated offenses. Just FYI.
When the ROM devs refer to the new radio they are refering to the 6.35 radio, im not going down to the exact number mines 6.35.08.29 for example (theres a slightly newer one) and I dont know what people really consider a new SPL (still noob here) but I've found most hacks are compatible with the 1.76.1007 SPL (enginereerings SPL I beleive) and majority of people seem to be running it including me Sorry if that was a little confusing lol
Have a good one mate.
As far as I know, the RADIO is the firmware which controls all communications (WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth...) and the SPL... good question!
It stands for Second Program Loader, essentially the Android Bootloader. It also provides some other functionalities like, f.i., boot options (recovery mode, fastboot, etc), it checks that the recovery ROM is digitally signed, contains the start up picture, etc.
I am not completely sure of what to do with it; some guides recommend to replace it with a engineered one, some others not, it seems to be required to update it to install the new recovery from Amon_RA....
I would like also to understand what is exactly the role of each part in this game and what are the dependencies in terms of updates: RECOVERY, SPL, RADIO and ROM.
Cheers.
Thankyou everyone.
My current Radio is 3.22.23.18
and 2010 spl,
is my radio is latest in 3 family?
I see G1 has 3.22.26.17, is it suitable for Magic?
Thankyou
anyone knows the new radio is 3.22.26.17 or 3.22.23.18 for Magic?
Thz in advance
Remember that 32A and 32B magics use different radios...

Can 32B use spl 1.76.2007 and radio 6.35?

I've got a vodafone G2, but the newest roms always require spl 1.76 and radio 6.35,
Can 32b usd this spl and radio? How?
Thanks a lot.
Sure can just look in the magic development section and there is a thread that tells you how to upgrade to these.

Maybe i was wrong the tread i was thinking of only applies to 32A. Hmmm maybe just keep searching cause I`m sure it can be done. (I`m still in noob stages here) maybe someone else can help

[HTC-MAGIC][32A] Best HBOOT and SPL?

Hi there guys,
First of all let me say that i still learning all these android-related SW components so forgive me for saying some ... wrong things
Second, let me thank everyone at XDA.. This forum ROCKS =)
That said, maybe you could help me clarify some questions...
I have a HTC Magic 32A with these specs:
__________________________
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32
__________________________
My device is rooted, it has AmonRA-1.7.0 and CM-5.0.7 (right now upgrading to 5.0.8).
My question is, what *Updated* HBOOT and RADIO should i use? What are the advantages?
I think of hboot as something like a BIOS software and radio as an internal firmware for hardware components. Am i right? If i am, than it should be better to keep them up to date!
Could anyone please advice me on this? What versions should i use and where can i get them? =)
Cheers every1!

Actually there is no benefit from updating them.
An engineering SPL is what you should get, just as an additional layer of safety..but thats all.

Yes, finally i've read about SPL and i understand it: It's a bootloader for bootstraping the kernel loader, and the Eng's version has more functions like nand writing. Anyway, i'm updating to 2010 now just for the fun
But eyegor, tell me, how about the Radio?
Thanks m8
I tried a newer version of 3.22 and it just caused me trouble. Namely, when powering down the phone it sometimes rebooted instead of shutting down and i had to pull the battery...
3.22.20.17 is known as being stable and working well
Ok, i've updated successfuly!
- Backup my SDCard to PC
- Copy 1.33.2010 Eng's SPL to SDCard
- Copy CM6 zip to SDCard
- Boot to AmonRA 1.7 and applied 1.33.2010 file, then Wipe (everything), then applied CM6-v1.2
Awesome! =)
Froyo is running smoothly on my Magic 32A hehe
Album viewer (similar to Nexus one) is just great.. It's cool and it shows our picasa albums xD
Cheers, and thanks

[Q] Rooted Mytouch 3G with 3.5mm jack; Need help installing Ginger yoshi

I have a Mytouch 3G with the 3.5mm jack.
FASTBOOT Specs:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
When I bought the phone (used) it came with 2.2.1
I was able to root the phone by downgrading to 1.6 using HBOOT and then using Universal Androot. I then installed Amon_RA's recovery (RA-sapphire-v1.7.0) using Rom manager.
I want to install Ginger yoshi but I don't understand the information regarding the SPL and the Radio.
I tried installing an Engineering SPL using the recovery mode but this caused the phone to stop booting either normally or to recovery. I had reinstall 1.6 using HBOOT and perform the rooting process all over again.
Do I need to change anything regarding the SPL and Radio in order to install Ginger yoshi or for it to work better?
Is there a different kernel I need to flash in order for it work or work better?
I realize a lot of this is addressed in various posts but I feel I've gotten too close to bricking for comfort and I need some advice specific to my situation.
Edit: I'm not at all set on using Ginger yoshi. I'm totally open to suggestions as far as Roms. I'd prefer a GB rom that's as fast as possible.
Changing the radio on your phone will have little to no effect on anything. Changing the spl will give you a not fully functional device.
If you want to use Ginger yoshi then yo will have to flash another kernel after. They have one in their download folder. The fender one.
A lot of roms (ezgingerbread ad cos are the ones i use) use autokernel so you don't have to deal with that
Oh also I think ezgb is much faster than the others probably beause it doesn't have all the cyanogenmod features (bloat). light and fast

Thank you very much for your response. I'm probably going to install ezgingerbread but I have one question first. Do you know what the ginger yoshi post means when it says:
RADIO AND SPL INFO
for 32b you need SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08
for 32a you need SPL 1.33.2010 or 1.33.2009 and RADIO you will need the old radio(3.22)

That's the part that got me confused. Can I just ignore that?
Edit: Is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9987696&postcount=2 the best (only?) source for ezgb binaries?
