Looks like maybe your SD card is formatted with the wrong file system type. Double check that your SD card is formatted in FAT32.
This should have been posted in General as that's the question and answer forum. This is for new ROMS/radios/etc.
sd card is formtted to FAT32.
about kernel version, isn't the problem?

Sry for the idiotic questions but i am new onto this scene and have little information on what is going on. If someone could please help with my situation it would be greatly appreciated!
I am currently confused on which one to do first.
all tutorials i have seen have said that i need a recovery to flash an engineering spl, and all recovery's need an engineering spl.
I have taken all the steps necessary on the tutorials but all have been rejected. I can never get past the first step of booting it onto my phone.
Which one do i flash to my phone first and how do i do it?
I have downloaded the amonRA recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img but am unable to fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img.
(only cmd that i have entered)
Where do i save the recovery file and what cmd steps am I taking wrong?
Also I have downloaded the Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 and have the zipped folder on my desktop.
tutorial says to send to the root of my SD card.
Were is the root and yet again wht cmd do i need to use to flash this over?
And how do make my phone rooted??

Okay...
I know its a lot to take in at first.
My suggestion is to slow down a bit and tackle one thing at a time.
1. The root of your sd card is what pops up on your pc when you select mount on your mytouch after its attached via usb.
Follow this tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
The files go on a freshly formatted fat32 sd card and in no folders.
For now I wouldn't worry about doing anything with your SPL or radio until this is done with success.
Good luck
Thank you very much for the advice
Ok so that went very smoothly onto my phone.
Now my question is do I have to partition just fat 32 or both fat 32+ext32+swap to get a ROM?
And do i need to flash an engineering SPL before getting a new ROM?
I also see that in the recovery it says format sd fat 32 and format sd fat32+ext2+swap.
Does this relate to the partitioning at all?
Same question for the choice of convert ext2 to ext3?

I see no need to flash SPL or radio if the trick on unlockr allowed you to successfully flash a new ROM. The ROMs here already incorporate super user access. You should NOT flash your SPL unless you have a very good reawson to do it.
As for your partitioning question:
fat32 is standard for removable USB devices and SD cards. EXt2 is default old school linux. EXt2 partition is needed for apps2SD which installs apps on the SD card instead of memory. The swap partition is like windows page file. The Hero based ROMs can use it.
If you have a 32a magic, the general consensus is don't bother, you have enough memory for everything. For 32b magic, I'll let someone else field the question.
do i need to format fat32 to install a Cyanogen ROM?
and on the unlockr video it says to do the wipe in the recovery process before installing the ROM.
DO i need to do that as well?
hey. confusion is really hitting the spot after i rooted my mytouch. looking through cyanogens site, i learned that the 32B has 192 MB internal ram. i went on fastboot and i have the PVT 32B, but under my settings, it says 288 MB! how can this be??

Are you sure the 288 is ram? I'm pretty sure that's how much space you have no your phone
yeah. when i go to phone storage under settings, it says my internal space is 286 MB. my fastboot says i have a 32B
Just for comparison sake, I have the new MyTouch 3g 1.2 in black and it reads this on fastboot .....

system memory under settings reads 295 MB
Yeah based on your results, you have 290 mb with a 32A. I have that same size but on a 32B
The internal phone storage is the ROM, not the RAM. Actually it shows the free space on the data partition and on the myTouch 3G its size is 302848K (~296mb). Both 32A/B have 512mb ROM.
No reason to be confused here
i dont get it...
Think of it this way;
When you go to your settings and you view the information there, the 288mb is not RAM,its flash drive space used to store information and applications, like a computer hard drive. This has nothing to do with 32a or 32b. RAM is different than storage, you would need a third party app to view phone RAM.
A lot of people make this mistake.
I searched a lot and was unable to find a solution. The simple story is that I keep getting Model ID Incorrect! error when trying to downgrade, even when using goldcard.
Here is more detail of my situation:
I got a new replacement phone (MT3G) from T-Mobile, it says this on HBOOT:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP30000)

RADIO-2.22.23.02
I followed all methods for downgrading including goldcard (I tried with both Sandisk 4GB and Samsung 1GB, tested and was able to read cards on the PC) and still getting the Model ID Incorrect! error.
My only conclusion so far is that the goldcard is not working but I am not sure where I could have gone wrong.
Any help appreciated.
TIA!
Goto the Rom Bible, answer will more than likely be there. I had trouble downgrading mine too till I looked there.
I give up. I read for hours, tried 8 different micro-sd cards, tried using a memory card reader instead of my phone, tried formatting cards on my phone. I was never once able to get the card to be readable after editing with the hex editor after ejecting it (it was sometimes readable if I did not eject it but the I would get the Model ID Incorrect! error).
Anyway, that is it for me. I know I am probably doing something wrong but can't figure out what it is....
Let me just say that it's ****ed up nobody answered your response in the last 10 months, though it is still here and shows up in GOogle search...
Mytouch 3G and Mytouch 3G slides always have this issue-- EVERY FORUM IS LEFT HANGING. I've seen around 100 responses un-answered... So does one person just sell it to the next person and get a new phone?
Seriously- I've tried multiple cards... sappimg files...fastboot commands... superoneclick (at setup screen )......goldcard tool... hex editor... format on pc.. phone.. etc.. OVER AND OVER.
This phone is put here by the devil. Period.

You should try that in an actual card reader instead of using the phone as one
Hello
If someone can help me identify my phone?

In the configuration, memory and SD-Card gives: Internal memory - 273 MB available (!)
So, it is 32 B, 32 A, or some hybrid?!
Cover has Vodafone logo.
What ROM and recovery will be the best?
At this moment I use Cyanogen 6.0.0.-DS (Ion / myTouch)
Does someone have any idea?…
that is indeed very interesting.... O_O
Doesn't 32A and B both have the same internal storage? I believe yours is 32B but correct me if I'm mistaken.
32 A has different CPU and more RAM (285 MB or something) - 32 B has only 192 MB...
Internal memory = storage space, NOT RAM. You've got a 32B with a confused SPL.

I agree :0)
Both the radio version and the fastboot info indicates that it's pure 32B device.
Maybe flash a eng spl and see if the "unknown" problem goes away.
Hello all, I appear to have gotten myself in quite a predicament while attempting to load gingeryoshi on my Mytouch 3G 1.2. After hours of reading, flashing new SPLs, H-boots, radios, recoveries, I have reached a point of impasse. The device will not boot, I have S-On so no fastbooting can be done, and I cannot get into recovery. I also did not make a goldcard Because of this, I cannot appear to modify the phone at all anymore, and it's pretty much stuck . Any advice on how to get the phone back to stock, or even better, running CM or yoshi, would be very much appreciated I don't have phone with me right now, but I will post H-boot information when I get home. And yes, I did search, I've been searching this forum for hours :/
You can use any other android htc phone to make the gold card. Gold card only depends on the SD card.
By the way, what is the main version of you MT3G 1.2?
fastboot getvar version-main.
The command you gave returns 2.10.531.4. Also, I borrowed my friend's thunderbolt to make the goldcard, and the first failed with a "device model incorrect" or something to that effect. I then tried again with a different SD, and noticed I got the same CID code for both of the cards... they are both SanDisk 4gb cards, one class 2 and one class 4, would it be possible that they have same CID? Was I getting his internal memory CID or something? Either way, no-go. Should my next action be a different SD card or host phone? Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it
Oh, and current H-boot information, if any of it helps:

No more pointers? I don't really know what else to do. Do goldcards only work with certain cards? I heard somewhere that Kingston cards are best, would it be worth getting one?
It is impossible to get the same cid number for two different sd cards.
Have you follow the instruction here?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_Fender/1.2:_Rooting
. I am using one 2gb kingston sd card and one 8 gb sdhc WINTEC sd card. Both of them works well.

Ok. Looks like I'll have to find someone else with an HTC phone. I think my friend's thunderbolt was producing the CID of its internal memory or something. Thanks a lot for the replies!
