Why does my 32B think it's a 32A?

Continuation from my last post, I recently got a replacement 32B, and it came with the 1.6 donut on it. I used the gold card method to root it, and when I went to flash Amon Ra Recovery, the 32B version wouldn't flash, but the 32A would. I've got Open Eclair for 32A on it now, and I suppose that's fine, everything works, I'm just curious as to why it only wants 32A stuff.
Things I imagine you need to know:
32B MyTouch 3g (1.0, no 3.5mm jack)
SPL says 1.33.2005
radio is 3.22.20.17
Any help would be appreciated greatly!

32A radio
Ummm it might b bcuz u have a 32A radio???

Okay, that would make sense. I'll research flashing the radio and I'll be back if I have any issues after that.

You probably had to flash your phone with a 32A because you had a perfected SPL. The next step would be to revert your phone back to a 32B. Follow the steps in this thread.

Neat! Thank you!

Radio/SPL quiestions?

I'm trying to understand the radios for the MyTouch 3g phone.
Now a 32A and 32B have different radios, ones starting with a 3 (32a) others with a 2 (32b).
Now whats the latest for both of them? Does it matter if you're running a 32a radio on a 32b?
Also how does the SPL interact with the radio? For instance, I use the gold card and flash 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL onto a mytouch3g and converts it to a 32a device (H in SPL, and 3.xx.xx.xx radio), would I be ok with putting a 32b radio back on or does a 32b radio require the 1.33.2005 SPL?

Hello. Yes, theoricly you can flash any radeio but even you must be careful with the radios you flash, if you flash a 32A radio on a 32B you'll get a much slower phone, vice versa, you'll brick your phone. Use as rule update only IF really necessary for the rom to work and beeing stable to use.
According to your question the last radios for each are:3.22.20.17 (32A edition if you are using stock rom wich requires Hboot 1.33.xxxx) ; 6.35.10.18 (32A edition if you are using Hboot 1.72.xxxx); 2.22.19.26 (32B Edition if you are using Hboot 1.33.xxxx)
Everytime you change radio you'll have to change Hboot version to the according of your motherboard, and the recovery for the following edition.
Hope i've helped a bit lighten up how it works

Question about the need to upgrade SPL & Radio

I have a 32b with
SPL: HBOOT-1.33.0004
RADIO: 2.22.19.26I
I saw several opportunities to upgrade either spl or radio or both. But I don't see why I would need to do that. Does it bring along extended capacity? Speed? Anything else? Or is it just about compatibility with some ROM?
Which SPL and RADIO would you recommend now for FROYO?

Good Question. I was thinking about the same thing...

I have the same question. Does having the newer radio improve anything?
Right now I am running CM6 with Pershoot's latest kernel.
I used the Universal Androot to root it and Rom Manager to install the rest.
Here is what I have for SPL & Radio

Any advice?

Well, I'm not expert in these things,
but as far as i know, with a newer Radio you will get a better reception and signal quality,
plus there is some Rom are cook to work with specific Radios,
and about the SPL, you need to have and Eng-SPL with S-OFF,
in case if you messed anything up and you messed the recovery menu as well (as some people did)
the Eng-SPL will save your life
so, long story short, you can't brick your phone if you have an Eng-SPL/S-OFF
MOD EDIT: STRIKEOUT ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION

Hey there!
A few things you need to know:
1. If it's working just fine, leave it alone.
2.Those with 32B phones should keep their current radio and, at most, upgrade to an engineering SPL to switch security to OFF.
3. Owners of the MyTouch Fender/LE/1.2/whatever-the-hell-it's-called (the one with the 3,5mm audio jack) should NEVER touch their radio and SPL unless they want to brick their phones. You'll have to switch radios/SPLs during rooting, but will need to revert back to stock in order to get it working right.
4. The only ones who can switch between different versions of radio/SPL are those with the 32A (CPLD-12, no audio jack), as a few sense ROMs only run on a specific radio/SPL combo.

By myTouch 1.2/LE, keinengel means you. Don't hangs a thing or you'll either brick your phone or never get a ROM to work.

Pretty much everything that you said here is WRONG!
You don't need an Eng-SPL.
You don't need S-OFF
You can brick your phone with S-OFF/Eng-SPL
Please don't post incorrect information again or you can be banned.
I will be reviewing your future posts. First warning!

I'm sorry ..
Can you please at least tell us what is the S-OFF and EngSPL used for ?

[Q] Which SPL should I use with Magic

I think my ROM problems must be related to the SPL I am using (since I have tried everything else, but cant boot into ANY ROM past the splashscreen even though recovery and fastbot work fine.)
Which SPL should I be using with an HTC magic that I think is 32b
I currently have the one linked to in the SPL thread that looks like this:
Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 - MD5 : 2B1AAA9012DC28F88C482E1B21A46FDD
(tmobile branded, original sep2009 mytouch)

How long do you let the phone sit at the splash screen before you give up on it? Anytime I've flashed a ROM I've had to wait around 5 minutes for it to fully boot up the first time. Outside of that, you may be flashing the wrong ROMs. Which one's have you tried?

I give it 10-20 minutes every time.
I have tried 4 different ROM's, all from cyanogen (6.0.0 RC3, 5.08, 5.07, 4.2?)

Ok... you just costed me 1.5 hours of research.
You have 32B board which means that you should use 32B roms.
BUT, you have H-tag version and 3.22 radio. All 32B devices is G-tag version.
So i was confused... but i got it finally.
This is what you have to do:
Using your current spl and radio you can only use 32A roms. I know that you have 32B board but the H-tag makes it an EBI1 device and therefore you need 32A roms.
Or you can change you radio to the G version which is 2.22.19.261.
You also have to change recovery to G version or you cannot boot recovery correct.
Using the 2.22 radio you then have to use 32B roms.
CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM MY LOGIC?
ezterry CAN YOU CONFIRM?
So it's up to you...
So the question is, which roms have you tested.. 32A or 32B roms?
And did you do a full wipe + deleted all unnecessary files/folders on the sdcard before you booted the rom?

I have tested 32B roms. Always with full wipes of data, cache and dalvik.

There is your problem... :0)
You need 32A roms with the current spl/radio combination you have on your device :0)
Test one... like the froyoredux:

And as you have done before...full wipe :0)
PS. Please report back on success or failure.

IT [email protected]! Thank you SO SO MUCH! (For reference, I followed the link given and downloaded 32a black 1.8)
I don't understand how I ended up needing a 32A kernel when I have the 32B phone - I must have messed something up earlier, but it doesn't matter to me all that much - as long as this keeps functioning!

You did not mess anything up.
Your device is a 32B board but has the H-tag (The last H in the first line of the fastboot. H stands for HTC-version.. G stands for Google-version).
If you want to use 32B roms you just need to flash a different radio and recovery (as stated above) and you should be good to go.
But imho there is more 32A roms then 32B roms.. so just stay with current spl/radio combination!
But beware... since you have 32B you cannot flash the 6.35 radio... thats only for the 32A boards...
With other words:
SPL -> 1.33.20xx, where xx can be 05, 09 or 10 (just stay with the one you have now... no reason to change)
if using 3.22 radio -> must have H recovery and use 32A roms
if using 2.22 radio -> must have G recovery and use 32B roms

Is the H-tag the same thing as an H recovery? If not, where does that H-tag come into play? I ask because I was having frequent crashes associated with using the radio, so I thought maybe I should go back to the 32B radio. I did so, and tried to go back to a 32b recovery at the same time. Amon Ra's 1.7 is running for me for the first time, but the "H" is still showing in fastboot:

I am next going to try installing a G rom from sdcard. Am I on the right track?

yes you are on the right track.
The H will never change...

Isn't the 32B version slower than the one with 32A?
