Roms won't work...

I have a mytouch-(The original one) and i have a problem. I hacked it a few months ago and everytime i install a rom from the mytouch section it doesnt work but my phone only works with G1 roms.
Please help me fix this.

the roms for the mytouch are generally made for 32a HTC phones different boards and hardware so they wont work as long as the rom as 32B you are good to go

"Hacked it" how?
What kind of original MyTouch do you have?
In other words, what spl, radio, recovery, etc.

well i don't really know how to check spl and radio. etc.
but what i do know is when i start up my phone with Home+Power
Build is RA-Dream-V1.6.2

Do (power+back) to get into fastboot and post that info.

That's Amon's recovery manager, which allows you to do lots of cool things with your phone (flash ROMs, themes, wipe your phone/SD card, and more).
If you want to flash a ROM on your phone, I would suggest looking over in the G1 Android Development section for some ROMs that almost always work with the 32B MyTouch3G phones. Just make sure it's 32B and not 32A.

@Dust but i want to use a Mytouch rom now... i'm tired of using roms over at the G1 develp section when im not even using one.
and for my info here it is..
Sapphire Pvt 32B Ship S-on G

Then it says fastboot, hboot mode, reset device, restart to hboot, and lastly power down.

You have the MT3G thats not the Fender/1.2 MT3G (No 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top, I have the same phone.)
As far as roms go, you have to go through the G1 roms or find 32B roms. The MyTouch threads are usually 32A roms which are for the Fender/1.2 versions. Some roms will have [32A] or [32A/32B] in the posting. Look for the ones that work on both versions or just 32B.
Try the Rom Bible in the G1 Development Thread. Also, not trying to be an ass, but make sure you know what you are doing before you try to flash a rom onto your phone. The last thing you want to do is brick your phone and have no idea what the specs on your phone are.

also I should add that you can have a Mytouch and have a Hero rom flashed on it. Thats the beauty of rooting and flashing so don't think that you need a Mytouch rom for your Mytouch. The roms are created for the specific model of phone...

oh ok thanks. and yeah when i flash rom i just pick anything and flash... lol
last thing.. since you are using the same phone as me what rom are you using atm?

Just note that if you run a Hero rom then you will have to reboot every so often (about every day or so) and you will not have bluetooth.
Depending on the Hero rom you will also not have camcorder, wifi, livewallpaper, etc.
So... if all that sounds good then go for it.
Personally, I avoid Sense UI roms like the plague.

ok thanks. i am wondering about live wallpapers though because all i have is the maps.. how do i get other live wallpapers?

You look in the market for lwp. I am using the same phone as you too. Running chromatic 4.3 atm. It runs good. Cm 5.0.8 runs really well (2.1). Or enomther has a really good 1.6 just look around and try different ones. That's the fun.

If you want a decent Nexus LWP I recently came across one on Market by stealthcopter.com called Nexus Revamped. They have a paid version as well that has more options. I was so impressed with it that I got the paid version.

thanks guys really helped clear things up.
Using the chromatic and the Nexus LWP now thanks for your suggestions.

bought a mytouch

I just bought a myTouch 3g.
I have a G1.
Is there anything special I need to know about rooting this phone, and what would be the fastest 2.1+ rom to use?

We'll its really going to depend on your fastboot info (what SPL/radio your using) then you can go from there. The Androot method seems to be the now easiest method and from what I've read has a high success rate. You'll need to get your fastboot information then you can start searching. The answers to your questions are out there. The biggest thing with having the 3.5mm Jack is the ROMs available for it. There aren't many so your choices are limited.

Right.
So if I got the one WITHOUT the 3.5mm jack, I have more options then? okay.
Now, on the G1 some roms require a custom SPL. Is this the same on the MT3g?

In most cases, no. The original MT3G (no headphone jack) is one of the easiest phones to root, which is kinda awesome. Download universal androot, then rom manager, flash the recovery and then install roms as usual. Way easy!

@can teh man
You NEED to post your information before you can get anyone here to help you.
All that we know at this point is that you have a MyTouch without the 3.5mm jack. But did you know that there are still different versions of your device? If someone gives you instructions (or reference to instructions) that is not meant for your device then you might end up with a broken phone. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS!
Your next post in this thread better be with useful information to properly identify your device or I will delete this thread.
When your device is powered off hold down the volume button while pressing power. It should take you to a white screen. Post ALL information that you see on that white screen here in this thread and then we can help you.

I don't think he's actually got the phone yet. I think he was just trying to get a jump start on getting it rooted once he does. I could be wrong though.

I've got it rooted and I've got Rom Manager, Amon Ra [32B] installed... what do I need to know about radio and SPL for this phone?

I have same phone as u. U have new radio. I flashed 2005 eng spl to mine to get s-off. Fastboot purposes. Use amonra 1.7.0. Just make sure whatever u flash is for 32b. Most Roms for it will be in g1 section. Check the sticky section. Will have spl if u want Eng spl and list of roms. Try them out.

I have AMON RA 1.7.
Is the SPL the reason why I can't use fastboot?

Yeah the S-ON means your SPL has security on which keeps you from running any remote fastboot commands from your computer. If you've already got AmonRa loaded on your phone your good to go and wont need to mess with your SPL/radio. Just start flashing ROMs.

I'd like to keep CM6, but I'm willing to revert to a 1.5/1.6 rom if need be.

[Q] Stuck on splash screen Ginger yoshi 1.0 RC7.1

Hi all first post Cant seem to find the answer after searching around on other post.
I was running CM 6.1 Fine. They droped HTC Magic so I wanted to try Ginger yoshi 1.0 RC7.1
I installed rom then updated radio. The phone my be boot-looping I don't. I have re flashed it several times. One time it got stuck on HTC screen other time it got stuck on splash screen one other time it was black with back light still on.

Hboot 1.33.0013

Radio-2.22.23.01
Thanks so much for takeing the time to read my post I guess I will try 7.0 see if that works I think its the radio

Same thing with 6.x It looks like I need to upgrade my radio to 3.x I guess I will try in the morning. The Ginger yoshi splash screen is as far as I can get it freezes up after about 30 secs on that

From my under standing the 3.* radios were for rodgers (canada) so if you in us I don't think that will fix. You might just wipe and nandroid your previous and see if that works. I had I hard time installing yoshi the first time cause of I think sd card issues the stock sd card sucks being class 2. If you get cm 6.1 working from nandroid restore you might try to run yoshi rom from rom manager that's only way I could get it to install. And first boot with yoshi does take forever.

Yes, I believe you will need to change your radio to a 3.22 radio and you will also need an SPL 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010 since you have the 32a board. Don't forget to flash the 32a kernel. It's also in Yoshi's Mediafire folder.
I think (could be wrong, confirmation anyone?) I remember reading somewhere that the 2.22 radios we're specific and that you might run into problems flashing other radios. (no, seriously. Wrong radios could very well brick your magic) Tread carefully, my friend.
Also, I ran into problems with both the 7.1 and the 7.1.1 RC. Wifi didn't work for both roms so I wen't back to RC 7.

Don't flash any radio yet! Do you have a headphone jack on your phone? If you do then flashing the 3.xx radio is a bad idea!

Well i restored to cm 6.1
Used rommanager to install 7.1.1 Wiped then rebooted into nana and used 32a kernel.zip I all so run boot-cm_2635.11_ds_32a-oc-uv-xtra-ram-fp-020711
If I dont run the 32a kernel.zip it will bootloop on htc my touch 3g screen.
I run 32a kernel.zip located in Yoshi's Mediafire folder and it locks up on ginger yoshi splash screen
Same way with 7.1 and 6.5 any suggestions I do have 3.5 jack but I dont have the fender
Since I re flashed I will include all stuff from fast boot.

I was reading 7.1.1 is a wifi fix but from the post above your stateing its still broken is that right?

I updated to 1.33.2010 then tryed to install rc7.1.1 stuck on mytouch 3g screen
Tryed to use nana backup to cm 6.1 black screen with back light on so Im at a loss I guess I download cm 6.1 rom and try that or downgrade spl

If you have the mytouch 3g 1.2 (the one with the headphone jack) then you need a 32b kernel without the 2708 ramhack. And you should have the 1.33.0013 spl and a 2.xx radio. On the yoshi thread I think they have a link to a kernel for us.
And I would suggest using ezgingerbread or cos-ds instead. Ezginger is fast and light. Cos has cm stuff

I think there may be issues with the 7.1(shame as 7 is blinding), so I'm sticking with the excellent rc7 for the moment(severe case of if it ain't broke don't fix it!). I had the right radio etc and still got the half hour non boot, then fc after wizard set up, then blank screen.
As with the rest of ginger yoshi's, 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.05 radio and the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl are mandatory for them to work.

Having the same problem on rc 7.1 && 7.1.1
Except I'm on a 32b SPL 1.33.0013d and I've tried both 27.08 and 28.25 S
Still stuck on Green Splash >______<"

MyTouch 3G 32B wont run any sense rom!

Hello XDA.
i have a Mytouch 3G 32B unlocked on att and i am having issues running any sense run.
My radio is 2.22.27.08

i have tried every scene rom i have seen and cant get anywhere with thim, they flash and then the phone reboots
i have included a pic of my HBOOT SCREEN
thanks

Have you tried using a ROM that specifically states it has been ported for radio 2708? That is an absolute MUST, or it will not work. Look for any ROM that contains 2708 in its name...
Good luck,

Alternatively you should be able to just flash a 2708 kernel after flashing the ROM to get booted.

ok thanks for the info.. i did try one sense rom that said it needed the radio and spl i have and also tried to flash a Kernal and still nothing, i am sure i am not flashing the right kernel, do you know one that would work for 32B and scene roms.
thanks

Try this kernel, its the 3rd one. Though I dont know if it will work with a sense rom, cause to be honest sense roms are way too lagy... I use GingerYoshi, and its awesome!

if i am correct (which i may not be cuz i dont know much about 32a phones) then i think you have to flash an spl that goes with the 6.xx radios.

Yes I thought that as well but the thing is that I can't flash anything with in recovery because when boot my phone in recovery mode it reboots itself before a can do something. I tried to flash with fastboot but I could'nt ether because my magic is SHIP S-ON H and I need it to be S-OFF H to do that. Just in case I know that the "S" means security. Do you know how can get it be S-OFF instead of S-ON. If I can do that then I think I will be able to fix my phone. If not any other helpful info is welcomed.

Hello, all. I'm sorry I write in this threat, but I have exactly same problem. I got the SPL to 1.33.2009 S-OFF from 1.33.0009 S-ON and when I tried to update the radio to 6.35 ( via the Radioswitcher tool )- it was successful, but can't boot. Nore fastboot or RadioSwitcher does the work ( phone goes into black screen ).
Wish you luck with our issue.
edit: I managed to flash the old image but now it's stuck on the "HTC MAGIC" logo, and still won't boot.
edit2: Got everything back, like before, but still can't boot. Have to mention that, when updated, I used the top options from the RS GUI, "Flash bundled Radio, SPL& Recovery" with checked "Erase system+userdata+cache" - is this, what I've done wrong ? If I understand correctly, a custom rom flash would fix the problem, because I've deleted the system, right ?
Thank's for your time.

Sorry grundio I whish I could help you but I do not have experience with 32a magics at all.but maybe the guy how is helping me can give you a hand as well. Let's wait for him to reply. Otherwise if you need some help with 32b devices I might be helpful.

Thank you, @gabriel.castro. Wish you luck .
Well, if we can go into fastboot- there is always hope. I think I accidently deleted my rom and flash would fix it, but I am hoping for a confirmation, to be sure.

I have a 32A. I'd say follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio)
And once you get a working ROM booted up (Yoshi's, CM, etc), take it slow on upgrading again. Also, I don't personally trust apps like that, just do it the commandline way and it'll just work. Dunno, I just trust commands more xD.

sorry if i'm mistaken but i think that in order to this procedure to succeed my phone most be able to boot normally first. and that is my problem. i can't get it to boot normally. but thanks for your time anyway

Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.

The output is: "version-main: 2.52.707.2"
