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.

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.
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)
Which radio is the newest for my mytouch. i know very little about the whole 32a 32b thing. info from my phone

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
Hi, I have a mt3g (easily rooted with super one click and running well with CM6.1).
These are the specs:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.28.25
total mem: 204068
I swear I've read A LOT of posts here, I'm just gonna go ahead and ask:
Will I benefit from changing SPL and/or Radio? I'm not a developer, just looking for the fastest phone possible.
Thanks in advance!

For the mt3g 1.2,
Changing radio: "hey look! It's a new radio" maybe changes on how strong of signal you get and where.
0013d spl: fastboot erase. Fewer checks on sappimg.nbh and .zips. maybe other stuff
Your helpful reply notwithstanding, I still was stupid enough to try and flash a 1.33.0010 spl... Lost most of my memory, the 3.5 jack stopped working...
Long story short, I went running back to the 1.33.0013, everything's back to normal. I'll never touch spl's again.

The ONLY spls that fully work on your device are 0013 and 0013d. Everything else will have issues

I manage to root my phone by trial and error with a combination of three applications:
Superoneclick
z4root
Universal Androot
I don't remember which one and what version but they help me. I suggest to try all.

I finally got it.. learned alot .. then i had to reroot it cause i restored tmous and during the process flashed the wrong eng spl it powers on but no fast boot or recovery. I guess jtag is the only option.. sad part is its my girlfriends from
Sad to hear that. These devices are in big problems when spl and radio don't matches the originals.
Good lock on jtag, sorry I can't help you in that.
