So I've figured out that I've got the myTouch 1.2 (because I have the 3.5mm jack) and I'm currently running a ported version of SuperD 1.10.3 which is awesome. The issue I have is that I want to replace my splash screen, however, the only success I've had in getting my phone rooted and a custom ROM loaded was to load up a rooted SPL, flash AmonRA's 1.7.0G recovery, and then reflash my radio/SPL back to the original state. So, I don't want to have to load up one of the rooted SPL's and then go back every time I want to use ADB via Fastboot. What I was wondering is if there's any 32A SPL's with the 2.22 radio so that I wouldn't have to go back to the locked (perfected) SPL. Here's what I've got

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

RADIO - 2.22.23.02

This is the wrong section. Should be in General (unless you're releasing a new engineering spl)
You need to use an engineering spl to modify your splash screen, flash the new splash screen, then flash your stock spl back. You might be able to continue to use the other engineering spl (1.33.2010) but you will lose half of your ram, headphone jack, etc.
Here's the engineering spl
Here is the stock spl
Alright, that's what I had been doing but wasn't sure if maybe there had been an engineering SPL put out that I could continuously use. The issue I've had is that whenever I load the engineering SPL, do whatever I need to, then go back to the original SPL, I can no longer boot into recovery. I end up having to reload the engineering SPL, flashing over the hboot and radio, and reflashing my recovery on. Is that right or is there an easier way.
About the wrong section, I though about that a few minutes ago, sorry for posting in the wrong one. I'll remember that for next time.
What I've been able to do is just flash the 2010 Engineering SPL, flash my new splash screen, then revert back to the normal SPL and everything works from there.

How do I Flash ENG SPL and Flash back the Stock SPL? Is there a guide?
Also, how do I back up my own Stock SPL?
(wondering the one provided stock spl is the 1.33.0013)
thnx in advance.!

If you've got the myTouch 1.2 (with the 3.5mm jack) then you can use this guide following steps 1-8. What are you trying to do it for?

I want to Flash the FAT GREEN T-Mobile Splash screen into something else.
wow, thnx for the guide. but I need to make a GoldCard? is the the only way to flash the SPL? and flash it back?
Binary100100 posted the ENG SPL, and original SPL. What I am wondering is, what spl version is the original?
Can I just zip up the Original SPL, and rename it update.zip. and Flash it.
Will this work?
The original SPL will include the stock recovery which you don't want. That's why only the radio and bootloader are in that guide to be flashed back.

Splash and bootscreen
I think for all my touch that's the same, you simply need an eng engineering spl (so you can remote fastboot and flash from your pc).
To safely flash an engineering spl there's a pretty good thread started by lbcoder in the g1 forum, you should chheck it.
Then there's 2 things, the link you posted from unlocker is a method to change the splash screen (the one with your carrier logo).
To create a proper splash screen image use the enclosed soft.
or this http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/quick-and-dirty-converter-tool-to.html
Then if you want to change the bootscreen (the second one, usually android) you need to change:
* the mask and shine pics in
/system/framework/framework-res.apk/assets/images
if your rom is donut based
*or simply change the gif animation in
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
if your rom is eclair based.
engenering spl
What I remember about the post I mentioned.
Basically to safely flash an engineering spl you need to flash the one matching your stock one (e.g. 1.33.2005 for 1.33.0005) and then if you wanna change to a different engineering spl (not matching your radio ... ...) you must flash it via fastboot otherwise good chance to brick.
Anyhow, you should make sure to well check all of it first
Okay, I tried the Engineering 2010 SPL, but then my phone had no audio for music or phone calls, is there another SPL I should try?
Hey after a quick look here, I think there's still no engeenering spl matching yours.So you should maybe go back to regular one.
Did you try to flash the splash screen even before changing the spl. Your stock spl might allow it.

NOOOOO dont go messing with spl/ radios. You will brick. Right now, we dont know what does what with what. I know it sux, I lost the fender splash screem that I will probably never get back. But doing this is still not safe yet.
Just give it a bit of time till we can get whats safe and whats not straightened out. To many people have bricked these phones since release not knowing how new of a piece of hardware it actually is.
Its your phone, do what you want... but its not worth the risks

Recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G,it might sound crazy,but it works like a charm.
And this is what I tried and what I got.
First I did the SPL downgrade to Engineering 2010 SPL,as stated no audio for music or phone calls.So after this update my sapphire became a PVT 32B with 2010 SPL.
This is what I did to get the sound back and the 1.33.0013 SPL.
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
I uploaded the hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
After this I rebooted,the boot image remained there and the audio problems were gone,besides this the device is back to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
So now I have all the goodies from before,the mytouch boot image and the Android blue letters.I did neither have to use my nandroid backup nor update the radio.
I hope the explanation is not really complicated,but english is not my 1st language.
If you have questions just ask.
u know I thought about this before I even rooted... so since I have a 1.2 when I was re flashing. the stock radio, stock spl and amen ras recovery.. I also flashed the mytouch original splash screen... I think this should be mention to new people rooting this device so that they don't run in to the issue later riskin bricking their phone trying to get it back

Came across this and started reading but didnt get to last page so sorry if its an old post and im bringing it back from the dead... I noticed someone said something about bricking the phone so im either lucky or it doesnt brick the phone... Short background on what i did...
I had a g1, digitizer started doing what it wants and not what my finger did so i bought a used mytouch. great except i had cyanogen froyo 2.2 on my g1 so i miss it lol i did everything through theUnlockr.com made the gold card, installed the sdk crap, got the rom the instructions said to use first which was the cyanogen 2.1 rom... well when i did all this i lost the original Mytouch start up it now said HTC Magic or Dream cant remember i just know it said HTC then something and it was black screen... No no... so i again found on the Unlockr site how to change the splash screen "http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-change-your-splash-screen/" Mind you the Engineering spl sais 2010 i had 2013 on my phone so i bascily downgraded i guess? once i did that i lost audio through the earpeace.... but i got the mytouch splash screen again... so i then reflashed the spl back to the one i used when rooting the phone but the mytouch splash screen stayed... Sooo not sure if this helps in anyway but just sharing what happend to me in hopes it answers your question .....
here is the deal, we don't run an eng SPL. So we don't have the ability to flash from fastboot. I do agree with ceas909, flashing the splash (or any custom splash) should be stated in the rooting guide.
After that, you need to do redo the rooting process with a goldcard to get the ENG SPL temp on the phone to flash custom splash, then flash back to stock SPL.
I am having a problem with my mytouch fender.
I tried to flash to radio 6.35.16.19 to run the newer roms, really wanted to try smoki's rom and rc magic's v2 and now i'm stuck.
I can fastboot, flash hboot and recoveries but when I tried to flash a different radio it hangs at 95%, doesn't matter if i'm flashing radio through fastboot, trying to get back to stock with sappimg.zip it always hangs at 95% on step 5 radio v2. I also can not boot into recovery no which recovery I try - amon ra's or clock work.
I have search all over and can't find any help. I think I have the same problem as the person from this thread

Sorry for deleting the fix... did not think anybody is gona need that... it was made spcially for the guy in the thread.
Let's see if we can fix your device.
Since you connot flash radio... then try to flash spl...
The problem is you have the wrong spl/radio combo...
You need the 1.76.2007 spl with that radio..
I dont know if this is going to work or not.. But if it was my device, then i will try it :0)
Download the tool i made for eyegor from my signature (radioswither).
Put phone into fastboot.
Check connection.
If you see the the device nr you are good to go.
Now flash the 1.76.2007 spl. Only the spl. Find it under the imgfiles folder.
Then reboot using the tool into fastboot again.
You device should have a diff spl. the 1.76 spl.
Now push "flash old".
This should set you back to 32A mode.
Flash any 32A/3.22 radio rom you like...
Like this one:

1.6.2 AmonRA recovery.
Can I revert to old Radio and keep new SPL?
What should be the order of downgrade? Radio first and SPL later or the other way around?
Should I maybe downgrade them together and later upgrade SPL back to 1.76?
Any pros/cons of running old radio and new SPL? Is custom recovery a game changer in this process? Should I go back to stock recovery?
Thanks for your help. Cheers.
NO.. the spl and radio is a combo and cannot be interchanged.
Download my fastboot commander tool (magic version, check my signature) and it will do it for you the easy way :0)
And what if i saw in someones signature 3.22 radio and 1.76 spl ? just an error or a possibility?
Ask that someone...
But highly a mistake!

Does recovery version has to be old too? Or can i just keep the new one?
You have to change your recovery too, because switching the radio alters your phones partitioning scheme, thus making the recovery crash.

thanks for the info. will do as told.
So I was "flashing" a new ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.07 earlier on my phone, and the battery was near dead, so I decide to plug it in. I didn't bother to think/realize it was plugged into the USB port on my computer, and as I did so, the installation stopped and the phone turned off. I turned it back on, to find the "MyTouch 3G" green splash screen either stuck and the phone eventually turns off, or it loops, and the phone keeps rebooting. I've tried flashing flashing the ROM again and some different ROMS I believe, with no luck. Yes I can get to the recovery screen and I can get to hboot/fastboot. Any direct troubleshooting would be very much appreciated. I don't really care what ROM I have on my phone at the moment, I just need something that works. My old blackberry is missing several keys and the rest barely work, so it would be nice having this one back up and running I've searched other threads and other forums with no luck so far. PS I don't have a Nandroid backup...thought I did, guess not though.

You need a few things.
1. goldcard
2. A sappimg.zip with a higher version than what you have with an Eng spl. (Preferably for 32b)
3. Time, patience
4. Luck
All of these are easy to find or get besides time, patience, and luck
Im currently looking for sappimg.zip that contains the required criteria. I will post after flash attempt...

I forgot to mention a common occurance since I lost custom recovery and custom rooted rom, ect.
the "goldcard-sappimg-flash" process freezes or hangs at [4] SYSTEM during the unzipping portion
As you have MT3G v1.2 / Fender - it is too hard to restore your phone after your faulty actions. You bricked your phone, when flashed inappropriate hboot and radio

That post seems to be talking about mismatched radio and spl. His match, but are the wrong ones. He should be able to flash a sappimg.zip to get an Eng spl and fix from there
Ironically, the thread you have suggested is the first thread I followed to configure my device for the "carz" latest custom rom.
Is there a way around the "unzipping hang" that happens during system partition portion of RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver flash? I have also tried the goldcard method with extracted rom.zip of the mentioned RUU rom with same result.

Yeah, but solution is same. Sure, he can start from step 2, cause he has combo without mismatch between hboot and radio already.
And yes, should flash 2.53.707.2 to get special combo with eng spl and then return to stock.

I was having problems rooting my Rogers HTC Magic+. I used this method and it worked like a charm to get root, Eng SPL. After that I was able to flash custom recovery and ROMS.
The ROM in my Signature works really well.
Flash the original "RRU", then root with androot.apk from market, install rommanager from market and flash recovery, reboot recovery and flash the ENG spl
solved your problem yet? maybe i may help.
