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.

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

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.
im running my rooted mytouch 3g with currently cyanogen mod 5.8....which is android 2.1 update 1 i beleive....how do i run this or any other froyo roms....do i just flash it or do something else please help.....
orignialy i was using mytouch 3g running 1.6 then i did the one click rooting steps and works fine now im here...please help...thanks!!!
You should be able to download the ROM you want to use (make sure its compatible with your phone), copy the file (will be a .zip) to your SD card, go into recovery (home+power), select update from .zip, and then select the file from your SD card. Some of the older recoveries require that you rename the .zip file to update.zip before you can flash it.

Are you asking how do you run the rom??? Or are you asking how you update to a newer rom??? I'm really confused...

Suggest amonra new recovery first off. There is a new radio 2.22.23.02 if its compatible with your spl. Then nandroid backup always. Then flash new Rom

Easy with flashing the radio, you could brick your phone that way. You shouldn't need to do anything but flash the ROM, unless you've got a board requiring the EBI1 kernel which should be available with the CM ROM. Go into fastboot using (power+back) and post that information here.

I did a update from CM 6.1.0 RC1 DS to CM 6.1.0 DS and my screen has a serious green tint mytouch3g 32a. Ialso did the same update to my mytouch 3g 32b and the screen is fine. Was wondering if there is any fix out there or if anyone else having the same probs?
Same problem here. Updated MyTouch 3g 32a and have a same problem. Green tint, wich starts at the Cyanogen boot screen. There is non on the MyTouch screen (the white letters are white). After that everything is greenish. Thought that render effect is on, but it is not. I updated rom through rom manager.
Anyone have any ideas?
After some hours of reinstalling the rom in various ways with no change. I started browsing the web for similar problems, and found something that might be helpful.
hxxp://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2589
"Fix in few days."
Hope so.
I also have the same problem. Went from CM 6.1.0 RC1 DS to CM 6.1.0 DS and now I have the tint problem. I went back to RC1 and tint was gone. Installed CM 6.1.0 DS after wipe again and still have tint. I went through all the settings and couldn't find the problem.

Isn't pershoot 2.6.35.9 for 32b board and not for 32a?
I'd try installing it but I'm afraid of permanently damaging the phone. Not shure if that's posible with a kernel install, but I'm not wiling to risk it.
Have any one tried that method on 32a board?

Just tried it and the device gets stuck on mytouch green loading screen. Had to get the batery out than boot into recovery. Than install the 6.1 ds rom. But it's kinda strange. The screen has a green tint only when looked at it directly. If I tilt it just a bit the picture is fine. Strage.

green tint
Idid find some workarounds but I also read that team douche does know about the orb and hopefully have a update to fix thescreen issue. I just am not sure where it will be posted? Yeah when youtilt the screen it does look OK.freaky. I just reflashed RC1-DS and am patiently waiting an update.
Check out the CyanogenMod forums. There's a post on the green tint problem, check out entry #6. It says it's for the MT3G original, but as you go further into it, it applies to th 1.2 version. I downloaded and used ezterry's kernel but pershoot's supposedly works, too.
I used the one for ebi0 - it says: EBI0 (32b) for 2.22.* radio users (thats the MT3G 1.2)
just stick with RC1. Ive been using it for awhile with no complaints whatsoever
I was able to fix the green tint by flashing from the droidbasement, but I lost my headphone jack
Anyone know a fix that resolves green tint W/O loss of headphone jack?
Ran into the same issue. Apparently they left something in the final release that they were using to test out 3D graphics, hence the reason the tint disappears if you tilt the phone. Easy fix.
Download one of the kernels below (grab the one for your phone) and flash from Recovery after flashing the CM 6.1 ZIP. If you've booted since flashing CM 6.1, you'll need to also wipe Dalvik-cache.
This one for 32B phones to include the myTouch 1.2.
This one for 32A phones. myTouch 1.2 users (3.5mm jack) use the 32B kernel.
Any problems, post here.

I only ask because ive been searching for a while with no straight answer everyone says search and doesn't provide help or say you dont have a 32A board you have a 32B with extra ram. But when I first rooted everyone said its 32a dont flash anything for 32b or youll lose jack or brick. Confused as im sure many others are tons of info for g1, or regular mt3g just not 1.2

Yes. When i flashed CM I also got the green tint. So i just went back to 6.0 lol I started to panic.
Lol.. that's what everyone should do if they don't like green tint... lol unfortunately I can't help since I owned a 32b...
They have talked about 32a in cm nightly forum... all I know is if you flash the correct kernel... the green tint disappear.
32b is pershoot 2.6.35.9 extra ram... without 2708
32a - is one of eztery older kernel... Google cyanogen and enter nightly discussion... I'm not going back there... that thread is long lol
From my experience- the worst that can happen when flashing the wrong kernel is it wont go pass the boot screen... all I did then is remove battery... enter recovery and flash either nandroid or same rom you are using... you don't need to do any wiping if using same rom...
So it is scary at first but as long as you can boot into recovery u r fine...

Thought that was pretty self explanatory. I've got the myTouch 1.2 and used the same kernel, so I know it'll work. The 1.2 uses 32B kernel's so I don't know what smoke they were blowing up your hole back then.

Apologies in advance if this issue has been raised elsewhere, but my search has proved fruitless. So here goes with my problem.....

Could someone please explain what is going on and if I should be using the 6.2G or the 6.2H.
Cheers for any help.
Provide ALL fastboot info
Hi, is this what was missing CPLD -10?
Yes...
You have the 32B board... but using the 32A combo.
You should change the radio and leave the spl be.
Then flash a G version of the recovery..
Flash a 32B rom... and you should be on your way.
Download fastboot commander from my signature (not the magic version, it's for 32A).
Flash this radio: http://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img
And flash this recovery: http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Leave the spl/hboot as it is...
Reboot into recovery and flash a rom for the 32B board... find one in the development section.
Excellent advise - thanks very much for your very helpful and detailed reply.
The range of roms is so extensive I'm confused as to what to go for - if I may, is there one in particular you can recommend for stability/reliability?

Thanks for your reply, I actually flashed froyoredux 1.9.5 before I read it - how does this rom compare with your recommendation? I noticed quite a bit of lag, but that could well be down to my old magic!
Couldn't tell you. I never really got ROM happy since most that I tried ran like crap. CM 5.0.8 was about the best daily driver I could find.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
I'm starting to see what you mean, things have got really slooooow on my phone. Quality always beats style.
Update: Did as you recommended and things are back to normal, good speed and stability, like old 1.5.
By the way, if I was to go for a rom such as ginger yoshi, would I need to change my radio once again to 2.22.28.25?
Changed the radio to 2.22.27.08 and tried a couple of more recent roms such as ginger yoshi and CyanogenMod 7 without success - at least I think they failed as the phone seemed stuck on the htc magic screen.(maybe I didn't wait long enough for it to boot up).
Am I doing something wrong or being simply impatient?
Mumilover,
Out of curiousity/stupidity (phones not valuable so can afford to take risks with it) and in pursuit of an almost totally 'force close free' phone I've changed the hboot to 1.33.0013d and the radio to 2.22.27.08.
I'm happy with the ability to flash more advanced roms, but not happy with the fact (didn't realise I'd turn my phone into a s-on!) that I've made your brilliant fastboot commander tool virtually redundant!
Is there another way to get back to the original set up? Hope you don't mind me asking by the way, as I know your advise was to leave the spl alone!
The first post on the ginger yoshi thread says you'll need to change you're radio to 2.22.28.25 or 27.08. Also, you'll need to change your SPL. (That is, if it hasn't changed from what it was according to your first post.) Hope this helped
update: scratch, that. apparently you've solved your problem already. sorry for not reading ahead >.<
Hi all first post Cant seem to find the answer after searching around on other post.
I was running CM 6.1 Fine. They droped HTC Magic so I wanted to try Ginger yoshi 1.0 RC7.1
I installed rom then updated radio. The phone my be boot-looping I don't. I have re flashed it several times. One time it got stuck on HTC screen other time it got stuck on splash screen one other time it was black with back light still on.

Thanks so much for takeing the time to read my post I guess I will try 7.0 see if that works I think its the radio
Same thing with 6.x It looks like I need to upgrade my radio to 3.x I guess I will try in the morning. The Ginger yoshi splash screen is as far as I can get it freezes up after about 30 secs on that
From my under standing the 3.* radios were for rodgers (canada) so if you in us I don't think that will fix. You might just wipe and nandroid your previous and see if that works. I had I hard time installing yoshi the first time cause of I think sd card issues the stock sd card sucks being class 2. If you get cm 6.1 working from nandroid restore you might try to run yoshi rom from rom manager that's only way I could get it to install. And first boot with yoshi does take forever.

Yes, I believe you will need to change your radio to a 3.22 radio and you will also need an SPL 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010 since you have the 32a board. Don't forget to flash the 32a kernel. It's also in Yoshi's Mediafire folder.
I think (could be wrong, confirmation anyone?) I remember reading somewhere that the 2.22 radios we're specific and that you might run into problems flashing other radios. (no, seriously. Wrong radios could very well brick your magic) Tread carefully, my friend.
Also, I ran into problems with both the 7.1 and the 7.1.1 RC. Wifi didn't work for both roms so I wen't back to RC 7.
Don't flash any radio yet! Do you have a headphone jack on your phone? If you do then flashing the 3.xx radio is a bad idea!

If you have the mytouch 3g 1.2 (the one with the headphone jack) then you need a 32b kernel without the 2708 ramhack. And you should have the 1.33.0013 spl and a 2.xx radio. On the yoshi thread I think they have a link to a kernel for us.
And I would suggest using ezgingerbread or cos-ds instead. Ezginger is fast and light. Cos has cm stuff

I think there may be issues with the 7.1(shame as 7 is blinding), so I'm sticking with the excellent rc7 for the moment(severe case of if it ain't broke don't fix it!). I had the right radio etc and still got the half hour non boot, then fc after wizard set up, then blank screen.
As with the rest of ginger yoshi's, 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.05 radio and the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl are mandatory for them to work.
Having the same problem on rc 7.1 && 7.1.1
Except I'm on a 32b SPL 1.33.0013d and I've tried both 27.08 and 28.25 S
