Newest radio? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Which radio is the newest for my mytouch. i know very little about the whole 32a 32b thing. info from my phone
Sapphire PVT 32a ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)
cpld-13
radio-2.22.23.02
oct 21 2009 22:33:27
phones a mytouch 1.2 running biffmod and amon ra custom recovery
i know it says 32a but when i first flashed a 32a rom it wouldnt do anything. I can flash g1 rom all day long though.
So what would be the latest radio for my device?

Just stick with your 2.22.23.02 radio. Your device is a 32A but more of a 32B. Let me explain... the only thing that's a 32A is your memory. HOWEVER if you have a custom rom built for 32B MyTouch devices then it is not taking advantage of the 288mb of ram so it gets wasted. You need a lot of modification of the kernel to take full advantage of it. So technically... since you are not using all of your ram... you pretty much have a 32B device. It requires 32B radios... 32B kernels... 32B roms. So for the most part anything that works on a 32B device should work on your device. With some exception of some roms that have older kernels. In other words... no Hero roms with 1.5 firmware because your touchscreen and headphone jack may not work.
Just stick with your existing radio because it's a mild inconvenience to change radios anyway because you have a protected SPL and even if you did manage to flash a newer radio... odds are you won't notice any difference anyway.

thanks for the reply and for the explaination on the whole 32a 32b stuff good to know
thanks

My Radio SPL version?

I bought a used Rogers Magic phone.
My fastboot information says:
Sapphire Unkwon 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBoot-1.33.2005 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
Radio-3.22.20.17
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
Shouldn't it be:
Saphire SPL 32A ENG S-ON H
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.

MyTouch 3G 1.2 Question

I just picked up a a MyTouch 3G 1.2 for the wife and wanted to make it a bit more custom for her with a custom ROM, however I am completely clueless about how to proceed.
I know its a 32A rom, but beyond that I am a bit lost.
From the phone:
Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
All the 32a roms mention radio 6.xx or higher, the original MYT3G was a 32B phone, and I only screwed around with a Palm Pre, so I totally expect to be treated like the moron I am. Do I have any options at this point or is this rev of the phone probably too new to screw with?
Thanks.

Radio update?

Hi members!
I want to know if i can update my htc magic radio?
Cause I flashed it with CM6, but my radio signal is worse than it was on cm5.0.8.
Some details:
Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19.26I
Apr 9 2009,23:30:40
I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find anything about update radio's.
There is this tool, but it only has 32A radio's so that made me confused and unsure if i should use it.
Thanks!
On Magic 32B there are only two recommended radios:
2.22.19.26l
2.22.23.02

I'm pretty sure I used to be on 26i, but now I show that I'm on 23.02, even though I unrooted. Is it possible that one of the ROMs I flashed along the way updated my radio?
Is the 2.22.23.02 radio the most current version? I'm super confused now.
Flashed this and Bricked phone.double check previous radio/spl compatibility before flash save people heartache

What Is CPLD? How to change it to another one?

Today I found that my Magics CPLD value is 10 (CPLD-10), and I can not flash other versions of Sense UI with 6.35.*.* of radio. Does anyone know how to change the value from 10 to 12.
My HTC Magic details:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-6.35.16.19
FIRMWARE-1.5
Get you self custom recovery using the radio-switcher-tool in my signature. (If you not already have it!). Just push "flash new" when using the tool.
Then flash this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778083
It's a modified stock 2.1 with sense.
You cannot change the CPLD.
In others words, you are attacking the wrong problem!
CPLD-10 is the MyTouch 3G / Magic 32B. Flashing the new radio and SPL will most likely brick your phone.
CPLD is sort of a hardware ID, you can't change it.

Well i just used the info he provided...
Keinengel, are you 100% sure about your facts?
If so, how come arxlex has different fastboot info?
Pretty sure
From what I've gathered on this forum, CPLD-10 is 32B, CPLD-12 is 32A and CPLD-13 is MyTouch 1.2/Fender. The only other time I saw CPLD-10 and PVT-32A on the same screen was when someone ran a 32A RUU on a 32B with a goldcard in it.
mumilover,
Thanks, but I already have a recovery 1.6.2. And I already maked flash device RCMagic ROM, but after flashing the firmware does not want work sensor, all sensor area decreased by 1/3 of screen.
See screenshots
Have you ever used a goldcard before?
Maybe thats why everything is not working correct.
Using what Keinengel sayed, you might have wrong spl/radio combo which again is effecting your system...
If you have used goldcard before, then maybe you should revert back to 32B combo.
Using spl 1.33.2005 and 2.22 radio. Then flashing 32B rom like the CM 6.

Which Firmware to use.

Ok So I have a Mytouch 1.2 and a Fender and they have been rooted with the goldcard style.
I'm ready to change firmware but dont know which to get It showed I was 32b before the root now its 32A
Do I use a firmware for the original 32B from before root or use 32A for after root.

You have a 32B
So I should use 32B firmware even after the root changed me to 32A, Correct?

You never had a 32A and never will. Yes, 32B.
Let me straighten this out.
The phone is a 32A/32B hybrid. It's a 32B phone with twice the memory as normal 32B devices (equally as much as 32A) so it uses a 32A memory map. Which is why it says 32A. HOWEVER, it requires 32B radios, roms and kernels. Fair warning, unless you design a rom specifically for your device (and the only rom out there is stock) you will NEVER take advantage of that extra ram that comes with the phone because of the different memory map. It's gone, wasted. Because the kernel's that you use are built for devices that have less memory. Kinda like running Windows 7 x86 with 16gb of ram. It runs no different than if you had 4gb of ram. (Poor example but best I could think of.) So you will want to treat it as a 32B otherwise you can break your phone. I would dare to say that at least half of the problems in this forum for people with this device are because they break their phones trying to treat it as a 32A. Don't be one of them!
Thank you i am now informed. I am used to G1's i know there isnt alot different but rather be safe then sorry. Thanks again.

Sure not a problem. Refer to the G1 section for the majority of ROMs to use on your device.
