Roms won't work...

I have a mytouch-(The original one) and i have a problem. I hacked it a few months ago and everytime i install a rom from the mytouch section it doesnt work but my phone only works with G1 roms.
Please help me fix this.

the roms for the mytouch are generally made for 32a HTC phones different boards and hardware so they wont work as long as the rom as 32B you are good to go

"Hacked it" how?
What kind of original MyTouch do you have?
In other words, what spl, radio, recovery, etc.

well i don't really know how to check spl and radio. etc.
but what i do know is when i start up my phone with Home+Power
Build is RA-Dream-V1.6.2

Do (power+back) to get into fastboot and post that info.

You say you hacked your phone, but you don't know how to check the SPL and radio?

That's Amon's recovery manager, which allows you to do lots of cool things with your phone (flash ROMs, themes, wipe your phone/SD card, and more).
If you want to flash a ROM on your phone, I would suggest looking over in the G1 Android Development section for some ROMs that almost always work with the 32B MyTouch3G phones. Just make sure it's 32B and not 32A.

@Dust but i want to use a Mytouch rom now... i'm tired of using roms over at the G1 develp section when im not even using one.
and for my info here it is..
Sapphire Pvt 32B Ship S-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (Sapp30000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19.261
May 27 2009, 19:06:41
Then it says fastboot, hboot mode, reset device, restart to hboot, and lastly power down.

You have the MT3G thats not the Fender/1.2 MT3G (No 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top, I have the same phone.)
As far as roms go, you have to go through the G1 roms or find 32B roms. The MyTouch threads are usually 32A roms which are for the Fender/1.2 versions. Some roms will have [32A] or [32A/32B] in the posting. Look for the ones that work on both versions or just 32B.
Try the Rom Bible in the G1 Development Thread. Also, not trying to be an ass, but make sure you know what you are doing before you try to flash a rom onto your phone. The last thing you want to do is brick your phone and have no idea what the specs on your phone are.

also I should add that you can have a Mytouch and have a Hero rom flashed on it. Thats the beauty of rooting and flashing so don't think that you need a Mytouch rom for your Mytouch. The roms are created for the specific model of phone...

oh ok thanks. and yeah when i flash rom i just pick anything and flash... lol
last thing.. since you are using the same phone as me what rom are you using atm?

Just note that if you run a Hero rom then you will have to reboot every so often (about every day or so) and you will not have bluetooth.
Depending on the Hero rom you will also not have camcorder, wifi, livewallpaper, etc.
So... if all that sounds good then go for it.
Personally, I avoid Sense UI roms like the plague.

ok thanks. i am wondering about live wallpapers though because all i have is the maps.. how do i get other live wallpapers?

You look in the market for lwp. I am using the same phone as you too. Running chromatic 4.3 atm. It runs good. Cm 5.0.8 runs really well (2.1). Or enomther has a really good 1.6 just look around and try different ones. That's the fun.

If you want a decent Nexus LWP I recently came across one on Market by stealthcopter.com called Nexus Revamped. They have a paid version as well that has more options. I was so impressed with it that I got the paid version.

thanks guys really helped clear things up.
Using the chromatic and the Nexus LWP now thanks for your suggestions.

Back to Stock

Hi all,
I have searched the forums here for an answer to my question but I couldn't find what I needed. What I am trying to do is to revert my wifes phone back to stock 1.5 as it came out of the box to see if I can get her teh OTA updates. I have read how to load ROM's and such but I would like to get back to completely stock. When I go to the fastboot screen this is what I see:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27
I also can't get in to the recovery by pressing and holding home and power. When I do that it just shows the triangle sign with the exclamation point and a phone pic.
Thanks for any help you guys could give me. I have a Vibrant and that thing is so much easier to mess with.

I have the same device and mine came with 1.6
FYI: To date this device hasn't received the 2.1 (or later) OTA updates. No ETA.

I don't think the OP has the myTouch 1.2 unless they got the wrong SPL flashed. It looks like they flashed the OTA SPL update for the 32B and then flashed the 1.2 radio.

That is what happened. It is the original MyTouch 1.2. I heard the 1.2 radio was better so thats why I flashed that. Would I have to flash the DangerSPL to revert back to 1.5, then start the OTA over again?

The easiest way would be to try running the stock sappimg and updates. I've put a guide up to do that in one of the threads on the first page. I think it was my thread on rooting, not the one for the myTouch 1.2, the other one.

mytouch 3g activation problems

so i had tmobile with a data plan on my mytouch. but when i switched over to verizon. i ended up reseting my mytouch so now i have to activate it to do anything with it. i just want it on for the basic features so its not just sitting around collecting dust. ive been lookin around and cant seem to find a solution to bypass the activation screen. any help would be greatly appreciated

You'll have to root and install a custom ROM or get a prepaid SIM, select the option to purchase the day data pass, then root and install a custom ROM to prevent it in the future.

Sure you can. You can get into the hboot by holding down the volume down key while powering on the device. Which also means you can root using the goldcard method. Actually, boot using that method and post the text here and there's a slight chance you can root without the goldcard.

just use someones sim card that has data and turn wifi on thats it

sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.006 (sapp30000)

radio-2.22.23.02

Ok you'll have to follow my original post. You can make a goldcard using any phone running Android. The other option of using the prepaid SIM or borrowing a data enabled one would be easier though.

Help please!! Htc magic almost bricked.

Here is te the deal I have an htc magic model A6161. It is a 32a magic and it is an htc branded phone. I rooted my device successfully and installed a custom rom on it. Everything worked fine until I flashed the 6.35.10.18 radio. Now my device can only boot on fastboot mode and bootloader, and when try to turn it on normally it just shows the htc logo for a few seconds and then reboot itself doing the same

if i am correct (which i may not be cuz i dont know much about 32a phones) then i think you have to flash an spl that goes with the 6.xx radios.

Yes I thought that as well but the thing is that I can't flash anything with in recovery because when boot my phone in recovery mode it reboots itself before a can do something. I tried to flash with fastboot but I could'nt ether because my magic is SHIP S-ON H and I need it to be S-OFF H to do that. Just in case I know that the "S" means security. Do you know how can get it be S-OFF instead of S-ON. If I can do that then I think I will be able to fix my phone. If not any other helpful info is welcomed.

I read that a 2gb sd card is needed for that. Is it true or I can do it with a 1gb sd as well?, because I used to have a 2gb sdcard but Is lost and I would have to buy a new one.

Hello, all. I'm sorry I write in this threat, but I have exactly same problem. I got the SPL to 1.33.2009 S-OFF from 1.33.0009 S-ON and when I tried to update the radio to 6.35 ( via the Radioswitcher tool )- it was successful, but can't boot. Nore fastboot or RadioSwitcher does the work ( phone goes into black screen ).
Wish you luck with our issue.
edit: I managed to flash the old image but now it's stuck on the "HTC MAGIC" logo, and still won't boot.
edit2: Got everything back, like before, but still can't boot. Have to mention that, when updated, I used the top options from the RS GUI, "Flash bundled Radio, SPL& Recovery" with checked "Erase system+userdata+cache" - is this, what I've done wrong ? If I understand correctly, a custom rom flash would fix the problem, because I've deleted the system, right ?
Thank's for your time.

Sorry grundio I whish I could help you but I do not have experience with 32a magics at all.but maybe the guy how is helping me can give you a hand as well. Let's wait for him to reply. Otherwise if you need some help with 32b devices I might be helpful.
Sent from my Yoshi Mod MM1 on 32b using XDA App

Thank you, @gabriel.castro. Wish you luck .
Well, if we can go into fastboot- there is always hope. I think I accidently deleted my rom and flash would fix it, but I am hoping for a confirmation, to be sure.

I have a 32A. I'd say follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio)
And once you get a working ROM booted up (Yoshi's, CM, etc), take it slow on upgrading again. Also, I don't personally trust apps like that, just do it the commandline way and it'll just work. Dunno, I just trust commands more xD.

sorry if i'm mistaken but i think that in order to this procedure to succeed my phone most be able to boot normally first. and that is my problem. i can't get it to boot normally. but thanks for your time anyway

Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.

The output is: "version-main: 2.52.707.2"
what is next?

Hi, this is because you have to install su.zip from the recovery. Did you change original recovey?
You need install fastboot & adb drivers on your pc, the best tutorial you can found in wiki or google putting recovery mytouch. You need to know if our mytouch is 32A or 32B this is very important...
