Trouble getting 32B roms on my MT3G

I rooted my MT3G early on using the goldcard method - it is currently running the RAv1.1.0h rom from the original rooting thread. It has the 1.33.2005 SPL and the 3.22.20.17 radio. In fastboot I can see that it the SPL is an HTC version (I think that is what PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H means, right?).
I'm having trouble moving to a 32B rom, and no matter what I try, I can't get the damn recovery image to switch from the current RAv1.2.1H to the G - which is (I assume) why I can't install any 32B roms.
Any foolproof way to change my recovery image from H to G? I've followed all the steps listed on how to do this in Fastboot and using ADB to switch it over, but no matter what I do, it has no problems booting correctly with an H recovery image, but not with a G.
Any 32B roms just makes the phone hang at the splashscreen, so I know it's a rom issue.
OR - Am I missing a step here - is there a different spl I need in order to get my MyTouch 3G to think it is a G edition again. OR easier yet, should I stop whining and just find a reliable 32A rom that works on it (assuming something without too much HERO stuff?).
YES - I searched everywhere, I spent countless hours on it, but I can't help feel I've missed something really stupid, so feel free to call me names and point out the obvious (just don't say "try Google).

Are you still able to use flashrec? If yes try to flash this one>> cm-recovery-1.4 works fine if you want 32B roms. Enom uploaded latest version yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549754 nd if you want version prior to this then go to http://www.4shared.com/file/129108782/3953f016/HTC__crc1__Android_rooted_Rom_32B_TMobile.html
unzip and make sure to install one after the other. Large one first and rename as update ,put in your sd card. Once that is performed then go to the next small one about 14mb. Rename as update and put it in sdcard. Dont forget to delete the large one if already there.
Let us know how you go on.

No - Flashrec won't run since the rom I'm currently using has the exploit patched.
Good tip though, thanks! Any other thoughts on why I can't get the 1.2.1G recovery image on my phone? Or an alternative way to get it to install?
EDIT: Took a few steps back, installed the sappimg for the MT3G, then did flashrec and then did the update with the rom you posted. Thanks so much for the tip and inspiration!

Yes, well done.Thanks for letting us know.And yes flashrec wont work on these rom also. I tried many times to flash with RAv 1.2.1image but it seems it was not possible. I asked emon in his T Mobile rom thread where he gave me a tip as to how to go about RAv.... but that hasnt worked.
But there is a solution if al you want is to make 3 partitions.
I followed Paaragon method as described on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512873
and it worked. So try that.
I tried many different roms and finally settled on enomther's
because it is very fast, not too cluttered and just perfect for 32B boards. And further more, there isnt anything that doesnt function.
PS: I prefered the one prior to current as on 4shared. But thats personal.

unroot completly by re insttalling the saphimg and go with the oneclick root method from the unlocker thats what i did and TITS! perfict running hero and full 32 b envierment raido and roms ... be carefull with the 32 a 32 b mixup could be the end of your touch....

Make sure you flash the recovery for Magic and not MyTouch.
Place your custom rom on the root of your sdcard.
The reboot to recovery, make a nandroid backup just in case and then install your custom rom.
Simple as that.

OK i know then but i can't install recovery please give me a guide how to do it cause when i press "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top of ROM Manager nothing happens..

When you select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery a window should pop up that says
Confirm Phone Model.
You should now have three options:
HTC Dream (GSM) <--- Use this for G1
Ion/Mytouch (GSM) <--- Use this for 32b devices
HTC Magic (GSM) <---- Use this for 32a devices
Note:
Since these are your specs:

You need to select "HTC Magic (GSM)"
Afterwards select Reboot to recovery.
If it still doesn't work then to a hard reset (aka battery pull) and try again. Sometimes you have to try it a couple times to get it to work.

Does the clockworkmod recovery detect what radio/spl the phone's running? There should be two versions for the 32A Magic, if you ask me: old radio (3.22) and new radio (6.35), as they use different partitioning schemes and need different recoveries.

I just soft reset and still the same, when i press "Flash clockworkmod recovery" it comes like a little black "progressbar" and a little load circle over "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" for like 2 seconds and then it dissapears and nothing more.. I've got v2.5.0.4 and i got it from 4shared.com cause i don't find it in the market.. And i tried many other versions from 4shared and it's the same with all of them..

Please? ..

Use my guide (check my signature).
You will find all the needed files and steps.
Just skip the root part since you already got root.
After doing custom recovery, flash any good rom for the 32A device with new radio, e.g. RCmagic v.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778083

Yes saw that guide before but i think it's too complicated and i can't understand 50% if the guide.. please anyone?

How can we help you then... if you think a couple of steps are complicated, why did you start to mess around with your device...
In which form do you want help then?

Hi guys!
Im still in need of help, so the problem is that i dont know what to do, ive already got root using the Androot app and now what? My Specs:

please help

These are the steps
1. root with androot (seems you have done that)
2. install ROM manager
2.1 flash clockworkmod 2.5 (option at the top in the ROM manager app)
3. install ROM
3.1 require downloading ROM provided in ROM manager, or manually copying .zip file to root of sd card and choose "install zip from sd card" in ROM manager
make sure the ROM is for 6.35 radio (it's told in the title)

Ya but the problem is ROM Manager i cant download ClockworkMod Recovery when i press Install Clockwork..... nothing happens just a little progressbar at the top that dissapears after like 2 sec.. i tried many versions from www.4shared.com

OK... we try again.
You have a working system, and my suggestion is to LEAVE IT the way it is - you clearly way over your head.
If you don't want to stop now, then you have to do the following step:
----flash custom recovery----
To do that you have many options which some already have been suggested for you...
In my guide you will also see a VERY easy solution.
I don't know why you have to make it hard for yourself.
Just do only step 5 and 7 from my guide.
That's the solution, but if you find that to be hard, then you WILL MESS UP YOUR DEVICE!
Take my suggestion and leave your device as it is... you do not have the required capabilities!

[Q] [q] help with simi bricked mt3g 1.2

I effed up my mt3g 1.2...
Thinking i was just putting the stock rom back on my mytouch, i accidentally flashed RUU Sapphire T Mobile US 3.12.531.1 FRG83D for 32b on my 32a. semi-bricked i can only goto stock recovery and fastboot no adb, and i cannot FLASH ANYTHING from RUU or fastboot. i have a goldcard but that doesnt help..i dont know what to do now, ive tried everything for 2 days now, no luck...WITH ANYTHING I EITHER GET MAIN VERSION IS OLDER OR WRONG MODEL ID.
in fastboot i see :

MAIN VERSION IS 3.12.531.1
(PLEASE HELP...WILL DONATE TO ANYONE WHO HELPS ME FIX THIS) THANKS ALOT.

As you understood, you can not downgrade to stock rom 2.10.531.4 from foreign 3.12.531.1. ROM checks versions and raises error.
The ROM version is in misc.img image. It is too hard to change it while phone is not even booting.
Fastboot with hboot 1.33.0013 does not allow remote commands.
Adb is not working cause it works in normal mode or in custom recovery
T-Mobile did not release RUU-version of FRG83D rom, only OTA.
And it is problem... May be anyone knows more...

Oh well...ima keep trying anything, and everything to get back.
but I figured if i can get a custom recovery on this phone, i could flash a eng spl...but i cant even do that, i guess this phone might as well be fully bricked...
{P.S}WTF IS UP WITH THIS GOLDCARD.....i went through all the trouble of making it and its useless...
Amon-Ra should come up with a program to fix dis lol

Thanks to croniccorey for offering the final and working solution
I have left my previous posts in quote boxes so people can follow my processes and steps below.
Ok, I'm going crazy here and I've read hundreds of threads on various forums to no end of my problem. I have my g/f's old myTouch 3G and figured I would set it up as a Google Voice/Skype only device. I also figured I'd finally venture into custom ROMs (since I have a Verizon Xperia Play...and modifications on that are too risky for me; damn locked bootloader!).
Anyways, I had no issues rooting with SuperOneClick, the I updated OTA (which I think was a huge mistake). I then flashed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 and all the fun began! Initially I couldn't get into Recovery no matter what I tried, even with RA (and thus not be able to flash CM6). Everytime I did, booting would just hang at the myTouch 3G splash screen; but I could still fastboot and boot normally. My 2nd problem was that I realized I had a "Perfect" SPL. I figured this was the issue, but I couldn't get into Recovery to flash a better one.
Eventually I read something where someone said to IMMEDIATELY reboot into recovery after flashing...I figured caps meant super important, so I did and oddly IT WORKED! So I flashed a better SPL...phone rebooted a few times, then it hung at the splash screen again. I waited 5 minutes, thread I was following said to wait 2 minutes before pulling the battery, so I did. I booted into fastboot to see if it worked and my SPL was listed at the one I flashed, so I figured all was well.
Now when I boot, everything just hangs at the splash screen. I can still access Recovery and Fastboot, so its not like I'm bricked or anything. I'm at wits end here, and its time I just break down and ask for help.

After further research and suggestion, I decided to follow up with a different rom and spl/radio with the hopes that I would solve the issue I had of my device hanging on boot splash screen. However, after all of my steps I ended up now with a device that loops the boot sequence (never getting pass the splash screen though).
I followed these instructions for CronMod 1.0.6 EXACTLY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641521 (also flashed with AnyKernel at the step listing it as a possible need)

Ok the radio is fine and its a good thing u have a non perfected spl maintain that at all times!!!.now I want to confirm u dont have magic 1.2 and dont have the 3mm head phone Jack which u shouldn't what I advise is that u find a post here with a diff hboot/spl with a non perfect spl and try to flash that but before u do any of that try to see if u have a correct kernel so download a compatible rom and a package named anykernel which choosea kernel for u(all this can be found here try cronmod rom search here for that). So again try to see if you have a good kernel for your 32b device. Try flashing a rom with instructions for that here(try cronmod) and if that disnt work try anoyher Non perfected spl flashing via fastboot.

First off, thanks alot for the response; I'm very surprised that it took only 12 hours to get a response on a legacy device.
To confirm, I'm pretty sure I'm not 1.2, as I have the 32B platform (isn't 1.2 only 32A?), and yes, I have NO head phone jack at all.
Anyways, I have found the various other hboot/spl to flash; but I was under the impression the best choice was to go with 1.33.2010 (which I did); what would be the next choice to try? 1.33.2005? 1.33.0013d?
For anykernal; would this be the right direction to be heading? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641521&highlight=anykernel
Is cronmod the prefered choice for the myTouch 3G over cyanogenmod? Or rather is gingerbread better than froyo for the mytouch? I havn't yet flashed a rom since I only just got the SPL flashed and thats when this boot hanging occured. I had planned to flash the rom via ROM Manager; but was unable to get past the boot screen. Would the best idea be to just flash the rom using Recovery directly and go from there?
EDIT: After reading the prerequisites for cronmod...I'm a bit concerned; should I not have 1.33.2010 if I'm 32B?!

bump - updated OP with new issue rather than making a new thread as it still follows along with the same basic problem of booting

I'll try with cwm 2.5.0.7 then; i was just looking for a cwm that supported partitioning the sd card (even if I don't use it). Why exactly would the recovery not allow me to boot CronMod? I was kinda hoping to have 5.0.2.8, but its not a major issue. What is your status on building one for 32B?
Oh, and of course, thanks for the response. I'll post back once I've tried using 2.5.0.7 instead; report changes (fixes/not fixed)

Well I'm sorry, but the wording was very confusing. And I am not posting here because I want to find an answer, I'm posting here because I've spent hours and hours on my own already researching these issues. It's just difficult to find straight answers with so much conflicting information I've found. Trust me, don't let my lower post count give the wrong impression; I'm far from a "user", but I have stated already that I have 0 experiences in custom roms and bootloaders for the Android. I have a CDMA Xperia Play, so I was several limited by what I could do; this current venture is an attempt to rectify my inability to experience these tasks.
Ok, so that all aside. I wanted to give my rationale and explanation for why I am at the current state I am in the hopes to give reason for my "mistakes".
* I flashed 1.33.0013d because you had told me (or I misread) to try a different spl, and I thought maybe I was not supposed to be on 1.33.2010. I picked 1.33.0013d because I was under the impression it was a modified 1.33.0013 that gave the abilities of 1.33.0013 without the lockout as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 and since it was listed as an option for prerequistites for CronMod, I figured I would be good.
* I changed to ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 (United Recovery) because croniccorey had built a 5.0.2.8 for 32A-NR/OR. I figured since the guide was talking about being able to partition with ClockworkMod and since the version I had (2.5.0.7) did not have this feature, that it might be best to upgrade so as to insure I was as close to the guide as I could be to avoid screwing up.
Anyways, again, I will continue searching, but clearly all my problems are resulting because of that. I have literally 40 different pages bookmarked right now that all have pieces of information or conflicting information or outdated information. There is nothing that just says everything in one location, everything I find is written from the perspective that the reader has been on the myTouch 3G scene since it was released and thus has followed it, at least that is just my opinion.
I'm very thankful for the responses, really I am, I had not expected to receive any for days; but could somebody point me in the right direction literally. I never make threads unless I have already spent hours and hours googling, please understand that. Maybe its my fault for not knowing the right keyword combinations to use...
EDIT: Oh, and I wasn't passing the splash screen BEFORE I flashed 1.33.0013d. I had the exact same issue with EITHER 1.33.0013d or 1.33.2010. I believe if its not broke, don't fix it. I only changed the spl because you said I should try a different one and because CronMod was rebooting endlessly with 1.33.2010.
EDIT 2: And I forgot to mention I am unable to flash the eng spl via recovery, it always says Installation aborted. It talks as if I have to downgrade, I just dont get why I'd have to if I got to 1.33.2010 from 1.33.0013 without needing too.
EDIT 3: And this is what convinced me to go with 1.33.0013d
1.33.0013d is based on the new 1.33.0013 released in the MT3G ota and allows access to the additional memory provided by the new radio.

Ok in the post u got your hboot it says even tho its locked it accepfs certain fastboot commands and it does as I have this in essence what I would do iz use that to our advantage and flash a sappimg.nbh with the hboot we want..but first. It also says in that posy if u have the radio spl u now have u can flash the 1.33.05 eng spl which I think has H off and is for 32b via recovery which is what u want so try the recovery one first and the the sappimg.nbh via fastboot....working systematically here si first we want to get u on a proper hboot then move on that the 1.33.05 spl is in amon ra hboot collection threat right here in this topic....can't give link now on phone

Ok, I saw your PM and replied; I already saw that and tried it, but can't flash a new spl via recovery. My next step was to go the route of flashing sappimg.nbh...but I was hoping there was an alternate way. I guess that is the next step to try though.

ok here is the issue the dude is on a kinda perfected spl 1.33.30d and radio 2.28.27(watev cant remem exact now but u know it) which should be corret as a combo for his 32b saphire but he flashed a recovery i think united recovery he gets this error when trying to flash a enginerring spl which he should be able to do
Installing....Finding update....Opening update (<-summerized)
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gungerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted
also just as a notation he also switched from a htc spl to a google one(1.33.30d) though that shouldnt acuse an issue anyone with ideas as to error. the aim here is to get this dude on a eng spl so we can flash everything fresh. any ideas and note i was trying to avoid doing it via gold card

i think if you all have nothing i will just flash a sappimg.nbh with an eng spl as his current semi modded spl should allow this without a gold card. and then double check to make sure we have the exact original spects of his phone and flash a proper hboot,radio and recovery then we should be go:good:

Ok...now I've probably really screwed up. No luck with your solutions in PMs, but before I went with the gold card solution I went with the solution to flash SAPPIMG.nbh....now I can boot, but I cant get access to the Android OS because I am not connecting to any cell networks, I have no recovery, and I cant flash new hboot, radio, recovery via fastboot still!!!!
Here is my new info:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G (Still Google branded for some reason vs HTC)
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I (yes, that is an I not a 1)

Well what you sent I wasn't sure was the same/would work; because of the file size and extension. And I didn't follow a guide, I just found a sappimg.nbh that should have worked based on post it was in...I don't have the link anymore, but I obviously still have the file.
And I can boot into the Android OS, but it does the new phone thing asking me to sign in with my google account, but the cellular connection isn't working and I can't get passed it to enable wifi instead.

Bad idea u should have downloaded the sappimg.nbh I directed u too u would have had fastboot access now and b able to flash radio recovery and hboot in 1 simple sweep anyway can u download a sappimg.nbh with a eng spl please there is a post here by amon ra helpung if u want to fix a pwrfect spl download one of those spl that will hopefully work and give u a eng spl
that fails. There is a way to bypass that network login Google

The sappimg.nbh (or nb0 file?) that you sent me was like 54 kb, it didn't seem to be correct. I'll look for amon ra's post, I'm sure its in my bookmarks of all the pages I've viewed. And ya, I tried the only method I know to bypass the login screen and didn't work. I'll look up to see if maybe there is a different way to do it...or maybe I just am remembering wrong.

Ya, I saw that post by Amon Ra; but I'm not sure how to make a gold card because I can't get passed the Android activation screen. And after researching, it appears I'm not alone for the myTouch. The way I tried before was in fact the correct way it SHOULD work...but for whatever reason the screen taping corners is not working at all for me. I don't know how to make a gold card if I can't get into the Android OS...
EDIT: nvm, I'll figure something out...
EDIT 2: I just don't have any damn luck with this....so I've tried manually making a gold card AND using the stupid gold card tool....neither of them worked!!! (verified by trying to load SAPPIMG via non-goldcard) I am literally going crazy dealing with this, I hate every second of it sooooo much!!!
