yeah, if this thing is 32a, I would say follow the how too root a magic guide...although we need a few fearless people to confirm for us.
no they dont.. the radio is different to a regualr 32a... and since the newmytouch 3g has the 3.5mm jack, the drivers are different.... so if we can get some devs cooking some roms it would be great!!!...
Hi guys,
I have a Magic32B running an engineering spl and cyanogenmod 5.0.8 - Now I would love to try some of the other 32A roms as there seems to be far more development for those phones - whats the best way to change the radio and recovery so that I can then install some of these custom roms...

32B means less RAM (192MB) and less internal memory for your phone so trying to run a 32A ROM which utilizes all the RAM and memory on a 32B phone would be impossible unless there is a port from 32A > 32B.
Okay I'll forget that idea and take a look in the G1 section cheers
Aaaaaannnnnnd closed!
Thank you, come again.
Have there been any Froyo or Eclair roms tailored specifically for the MyTouch3G 1.2 yet ?
I've been looking around and couldn't find a single rom OPTIMIZED _FOR_ the MT1.2 (The mytouch fender and all mytouch with 3.5 MM headset jack)
So far everything just says 32a 32b. --when where we know we have more memory and more room to play .
Kind Regards,
David
Cyanogenmod 5.0.8 Eclair for Magic/Dream/Mytouch/G1. I am running it on my Fender Edition right now. Everything works great. Can download directly from Cyanogen's site.
With all due respect.
I said specifically made for the mythouch3g 1.2
With all due respect, you do not have more memory (RAM or ROM) than the standard 32A.
So any 32a rom will work on a mt3g fender ed?
Is the rooting/unlocking bootloader method the same as a standard 32a then?
thanks for any help, sorry for the off topic post
I thought the standard mytouch had 192mb of RAM, whereas the ones with the headphone jack had 288mb. Or was it just the Fender one that had 288?

Nope, you're correct. The MT3g 1.2 has 288mb RAM, and the original MT3g has 192mb
So will any 32a rom work on a mt3g LE?
Honestly, I've not seen a ROM just for this phone. Except the rooted stock ROM.

Then you haven't been looking hard enough
OP, you can try Cyanogenmod 6 (2.2 Froyo ROM.) I've been running it it all day and it's pretty awesome. It utilizes the extra RAM and the headphone jack works.

I'm aware that there is quite a few ROMs that support the mytouch 1.2/Fender LE, but again the OP is looking for ROMs that are *only* for the 1.2... which except for the stock rooted ROM... there aren't any...
ROMs out are for magic 32a/mytouch 32b/mytouch 1.2/fender le... sooooo..........................................................................

Ah, okay. Every ROM for the 1.2 is a port besides the stock root ROM.

which version of CM6 are you running on your MyTouch 3g 1.2?
I thought the LE/32a/1.2 whatever were all identical??
Even if they're not, the memory specs are the same but no rom specifies LE/1.2, so are all 32a rom's compatible with the LE/1.2?
I dont understand why the OP thinks his 1.2 is so special/different, when I was pretty damn sure hardware wise they were the same.
well, Fender LE/mytouch 1.2 are identical - that is to say they are a 32a board, with a 32b radio, a new touch screen and the 3.5mm jack.
The 32a magic is a different thing, uses the 3.22.x or 6.35 radio, and the matchinl SPL.
both have the 288mb RAM since they use the 32a boards, but in the US the fender/1.2 is back to the 1.33.x SPL and the 32b/G1 radio w/2.22.xx

so does this mean that all 32b/G1 ROMs are compatible with the myTouch 1.2? I just got mine like two days ago so I'm trying to find out what I can/can't flash. Like could I go over to the G1 boards and flash those ROMs safely?

For the most part, Yes, unless it specifies some other requirements.
All G1 roms with a CM kernel will work on the mytouch 1.2
MT3g 1.2 Roms
@Cody, I noticed in your signature for your phones that you are running CM 6.0. I have the identical phone set up. Except when I tried to flash over to CM 6.0 from Chromatic 4.1 Test 16 it damn near bricked my phone. It went into a boot loop. Long stroy short, I used my GoldCard to recover. However, I'm still interested in how you got the ROM to work. Can you help?

Did you do a full wipe before upgrading?
Yup CM6.0 RC2 works great
I had recently tried CM6 RC1 on my MYTG 1.2 (3.5mm Jack) and it went into a endless reboot loop so stayed on CM 5.08. I recently tried CM 6.0 RC2. Works awesome, silky smooth transitions as always. Better battery. Haven't yet tried Flash.
So bottom line CM6.0 RC2 works awesome on MyTouch 3G 1.2

Hi everyone,
I have bought vodafone magic from ebay and just after I bought it I found out that vodafone (Australia) magic is 32b with 192mb RAM.
I really want to flash custom rom on it but I'm quite disappointed knowing that the phone I bought has lesser RAM. I'm in the middle of making decision whether to sell it back and get 32a model or stick with 32b.
Before I root and install custom ROM, can someone please share their experience with 32b model.
1. Is 192mb actually enough? fyi I want sense UI.
2. Will 32a device perform significantly faster than 32b?
3. A bit out of topic but is it true that I can flash most HTC Dream/G1 rom to my magic? Isn't there supposed to be different file for different phone?
Please help me make decision. Your opinion is highly appreciated =)
hey there. you can use it with cyanogenmod 6 rc2 (most recent) very well. runs faster than 1.6, which is istalled when you buy it. most g1 roms run smooth on magic, otherwise the developer mentions problems
the 32b won't be any slower, but it will faster beginn to kill unused apps in the background. with swap and compcache you will propably won't register any difference between 32a and 32b.
Thanks for your reply, that's very helpful.
Just to make sure, when you say most g1 ROM is compatible with Magic, does it mean that the same ROM will run on both magic 32a and 32b?
Because when I see Magic ROM thread, most of them are specific to only 32a or 32b, or when they support both model they will provide separate file.
There are some G1 rom that doesn't say if they are compatible to magic, so im not sure if I can use it for 32b.

I've been reading this and other forums for awhile now trying to find a "simple" way to get froyo on it but cant seem to find one, there's just too many options and possibilities for my little head to handle.
So now a few questions:
I heard you could overclock it, is it worth it and will it be stable?
Is it even possible to get froyo on it without following a 1mil step guide?
And considering the above to be "yes" the magic question all noobs ask... How?
All the radio and root stuff confuses me, if only it could be done with just a random rom and not having to do anything else
PS. Yes i know others ask about roms often but i have been reading about it for so long now without getting anywhere, i have to get some clear answers to get anywhere...
-The OC dosent give you any mind blowing performance increase (better performance is only noticable with certain games), 576 mhz is stable, other I don't know, your phone will not melt or anything (on 576).
- for any new magic (android) phone you must do a rather "long" procedure before you can start flashing stuff.
- read the whole 32A wiki, also read part 2
- read how to flash radio and spl
- Look into rom bible for roms you might like
- I would recommend cyanogen mod 5.0.8 (2.1) to use as a daily rom, froyo has many bugs
- and don't be hasty, read the wiki again if yu have to, almost every thing is explained there
- don't brick your phone!
happy flashing
"Perfect" SPL Revisions (which prevent us hacking)
Currently HBOOT-1.33.0006, HBOOT-1.33.0010 and HBOOT-1.33.0014 are the known 'Perfect SPL' revisions on the Sapphire handsets that we know of.
It is not possible to fastboot a ROM if you have one of these SPLs; you need to wait until someone has hacked it.
Edit (12 Aug 2009) : Now you can! Refer to "blabla cant post link i'm new user"

Seems i have a perfect SPL, have somebody developed an easy fix for that?
Quoting the link:
Proceed on your own risk, you might brick your phone!!!
This method is written for the original MT3G back in 2009, DONT USE IT on the Fender/MT3G 1.2!!!

Got no clue what Fender/MT3G 1.2 is...
Fender is the limited edition myTouch that T-Mobile marketed and he 1.2 is the mytouch's with the 3.5mm jack on top. Since you've got a perfected SPL, the goldcard method is about the only way to root it, AFAIK.
