[Q] 32B to 32A - myTouch 3G, Magic General

has anyone actually sucessfully managed to turn there Mytouch 32B into a Magic 32A? Really looking for a answer here because i have a spare MT3G and want to try this because ROMs for the 32A series are so much better.

Not possible.

You can just flash the 32B kernel on any 32A rom..

Can you use a 32b rom that was made for the G1/Dream on your 32b Mytouch/Sapphire without porting it?

MT3G 1.2 32A (Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G) Questions???

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:

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.

Few questions about the Mytouch

I got a T-mobile mytouch from my father not too long ago and im currently trying to root it but im kind of failing to understand. Can you not flash 32A roms when I have a 32B phone? or is there any radios or something that converts or changes your phone from 32a to a 32b? Cause from what I see they havent released many roms for 32b frequently so im wondering is it worth it? or is there another forum that i can find more 32b roms like in the g1 section or something?
32a phones have a completely different main board than a 32b. 32b is basically the same as a G1 device (it has more ROM), and so most G1 roms are also built for the 32b Magic (AKA Sapphire).
A 32A rom/radio/spl has a VERY high chance to unrecoverably brick your device.
Ohhhhh alright! thank you very much !!!!
Flashing a 32a rom or recovery will not brick radio n spl is another story though lol.

[Q] 32A & 32B ROMs

Alright, so I finally got my MyTouch rooted.
Now I am looking at possibly changing my ROM, however most of the ROMs are made for 32A boards, I have a 32B board.
Is it possible to flash a 32A ROM and do some sort of update/fastboot update to get it working on a 32B phone? Or am I just talking crazy here and need to find a 32B ROM I like?
Thanks!
i havent seen any 32a only roms, which ones have you been looking at?
generally if there arent any instrusctions on how to go from 32a to 32b there probably isnt any support for 32b. 32b has a lot less memory so you are much more likely to find 32b roms that have 32a additional steps than the other way around.
If you have a 32b then flash 32b roms. Most of them are in the g1 section. You are talking crazy. Lol. There are plenty of good 32b roms out there. I am using chromatic 4.2 until I update to 4.3 . If you want 2.2 that one is pretty fast. Happy flashing

Is my phone a 32A or 32B

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!
