My phone bricked weeks ago and just back from the repair store
Now, dear folks, could you help me to discover what really my phone is? 32A or 32B
The SPL says it is a 32B but with 32A radio (3.22.x), right?

And, the 'cat /proc/meminfo' reports that the total memory is 99M.
With these information, could you tell it is a 32A or 32B? Most important, now I want to download a new version of ROM onto it, what type of ROM (32A or 32B) should I pick up without bricking my phone again?
Thanks in advance.
In that case, your phone is 32b.and DON'T flash 32a roms or you will brick your phone...basically 32a is htc magic and 32b is my touch 3g..32a has a 288 ram and 32b has 192...power your phone off, then press back + power button at the same time until you see android on skateboard(press menu to power off your phone again)

Thank you so much! I cleared my confusing. And, yes, I saw the android on the skateboard.
Now I want to burn my phone with a Froyo CM6-Minimou-4 image found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735841. As per you suggestion, I should pick up its 32B version zip file. If I do so, the 32B ROM won't have a problem when work with my 32A (3.22) radio? (Now I desire to know what is my currently running ROM, is it a 32A ROM or a 32B ROM? Could I get know it?)
Thanks again.
God! I successed! I reverted my phone to 32B radio and 32B recovery followed by burning it with the freash new CM6 32B version ROM, it works! And now i am running Froyo!
I did the reverting per Amon's tutorial found on the site. Thanks for everyone!

Shouldn't it be:

I'm not even sure 's-on' and 's-off' means...
If there's any radio, or SPL i need to update.. please let me know.
Thank you.
You have the Engineering SPL already flashed is all.
Here's a thread on the various SPLs.

Thank you.
Then how come I am bound to the rogers phone compatibility?
Rom for rogers HTC Magic phone
Above roms works for me, but
CyanogenMod v4.0.4
doesn't work for me.
Does it have to do with SPL version? or phone itself?
Thanks.
Also, why is mine 'Unkwown' not 'PVT'?

You need to use ROMs for a 32A board, the second ROM your trying to install is for the G1.

Hi everyone,
I am somewhat new at this so please be patient with me if I am not understanding this correctly. I have been searching and reading and posting questions on different threads for several days now any can't seem to come to any kind of conclusion as to what ROM I should/could be using so I need some help. What I am trying to get is a stable (preferably official) ROM with HTC Sense on my T-Mobile USA MyTouch 3G 1.2 (Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G). Every forum post I have found so far has had slightly different info. Here are some questions I have based on different posts and guides I have read:
1. Is the MT3G 32A == HTC Magic 32A for Rogers/UK? What is the difference? Radio?
2. Can any 32A ROM be used for MT3G 32A? Why/Why Not?
3. Would an official HTC Magic ROM for Rogers or Voda work using rom.zip(from RUU_Sapphire_SMC_Voda_WWE_3.03.990.6_release_signed_NoDriver.exe)->sappimg.nbh then update using goldcard method? Why/Why Not?
4. Does the MT3G 32A have the same hardware as the HTC Hero? If so can I use official or custom Hero ROM? Why or Why not?
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
Here is what I have now:
T-Mobile USA MyTouch 3G 1.2/Fender with 3.5 MM Jack

The thing is any Magic with 3.5 headphones jack on the top requires a different procedure to flash custom roms. So Magic 32A roms dont work on those with 3.5 jack due to the new hardware. There are no custom roms yet, so the only thing you can get is root(like you already have). Oh, if I were you I wouldnt try flashing custom roms of hero and Magic 32A. Just wait for the "offical" custom rom.
I think my ROM problems must be related to the SPL I am using (since I have tried everything else, but cant boot into ANY ROM past the splashscreen even though recovery and fastbot work fine.)
Which SPL should I be using with an HTC magic that I think is 32b
I currently have the one linked to in the SPL thread that looks like this:
Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 - MD5 : 2B1AAA9012DC28F88C482E1B21A46FDD

How long do you let the phone sit at the splash screen before you give up on it? Anytime I've flashed a ROM I've had to wait around 5 minutes for it to fully boot up the first time. Outside of that, you may be flashing the wrong ROMs. Which one's have you tried?

I give it 10-20 minutes every time.
I have tried 4 different ROM's, all from cyanogen (6.0.0 RC3, 5.08, 5.07, 4.2?)

Ok... you just costed me 1.5 hours of research.
You have 32B board which means that you should use 32B roms.
BUT, you have H-tag version and 3.22 radio. All 32B devices is G-tag version.
So i was confused... but i got it finally.
This is what you have to do:
Using your current spl and radio you can only use 32A roms. I know that you have 32B board but the H-tag makes it an EBI1 device and therefore you need 32A roms.
Or you can change you radio to the G version which is 2.22.19.261.
You also have to change recovery to G version or you cannot boot recovery correct.
Using the 2.22 radio you then have to use 32B roms.
CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM MY LOGIC?
ezterry CAN YOU CONFIRM?
So it's up to you...
So the question is, which roms have you tested.. 32A or 32B roms?
And did you do a full wipe + deleted all unnecessary files/folders on the sdcard before you booted the rom?

I have tested 32B roms. Always with full wipes of data, cache and dalvik.

There is your problem... :0)
You need 32A roms with the current spl/radio combination you have on your device :0)
Test one... like the froyoredux:

And as you have done before...full wipe :0)
PS. Please report back on success or failure.

IT [email protected]! Thank you SO SO MUCH! (For reference, I followed the link given and downloaded 32a black 1.8)
I don't understand how I ended up needing a 32A kernel when I have the 32B phone - I must have messed something up earlier, but it doesn't matter to me all that much - as long as this keeps functioning!
You did not mess anything up.
Your device is a 32B board but has the H-tag (The last H in the first line of the fastboot. H stands for HTC-version.. G stands for Google-version).
If you want to use 32B roms you just need to flash a different radio and recovery (as stated above) and you should be good to go.
But imho there is more 32A roms then 32B roms.. so just stay with current spl/radio combination!
But beware... since you have 32B you cannot flash the 6.35 radio... thats only for the 32A boards...
With other words:
SPL -> 1.33.20xx, where xx can be 05, 09 or 10 (just stay with the one you have now... no reason to change)
if using 3.22 radio -> must have H recovery and use 32A roms
if using 2.22 radio -> must have G recovery and use 32B roms

Is the H-tag the same thing as an H recovery? If not, where does that H-tag come into play? I ask because I was having frequent crashes associated with using the radio, so I thought maybe I should go back to the 32B radio. I did so, and tried to go back to a 32b recovery at the same time. Amon Ra's 1.7 is running for me for the first time, but the "H" is still showing in fastboot:

I am next going to try installing a G rom from sdcard. Am I on the right track?
yes you are on the right track.
The H will never change...
Isn't the 32B version slower than the one with 32A?
So I picked up a MyTouch from eBay a few weeks ago and have been toying with Rooting, Roms, etc. I noticed that when I install CM6 (Android 2.2) roms the phone will constantly reboot. I have been installing ROMs for the 32B original MyTouch board b/c when I pull up fastboot I get the information below
Device : SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
Radio : 2.22.19.26I
The really strange thing is that the available phone storage is 274MB. Is it possible that the person who sold it to me had put a 32A board (from a MyTouch 1.2) in a original MyTouch body? It still would not explain why fastboot shows a 32B board. I am really confused. How can a 32B board have that much available RAM???
No, that's correct. Both phones have 512mb of ROM for storage. Half of that holds the OS, the rest for your apps. Where they differ is in RAM, this is where the OS and running apps are loaded into to run. The 32B(original myTouch) has 192 mb while the 32A(myTouch 1.2) has 288 mb.

Well i can confirm that you have the right radio and spl.
The H or G in the first line er known to changed without cause if you play with spl/radio long enough :0)
Never happened to me though :0)

Read carefully!
T-Mobile MyTouch 3G version 1.2 (with 3.5" audiojack) IS NOT Magic 32A
Use only manuals with tag [MT3G 1.2]
ya even though it says 32a we are not, we use the 2.xx radio but lots of roms available since the g1 is a 32b
I'm surprised you haven't bricked your phone.

Yes, the 1.2 is a hybrid but it's really a 32b board at heart.

Yeah! I thought i had bricked for a second, what i did is i tried downgrade from 6.35 and 1.76 spl with goldcard and what happened is that i wouldnt load the goldcard. So what i did i downgraded to 3.22.XX.XXX and 1.33.2010 SPL using the tut i had explained in the begining of this thread. After i downgraded my 32A Sapphire turned into a Sapphire 32B, then i used the goldcard with 3.22 radio and 1.33 spl which worked and i got out from a brick!
