Help me install cyanogenmod please - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I have been having the hardest time getting a stable cyanogenmod rom to run on my mytouch. I had a yoshi rom but it had some problems so I decided to switch to cyanogen 5.0.8 but had problems
I have a few questions so please assist if possible
First which version should I try to install, should I go for the newest stable one or is it laggy and I would be better off with an older version?
What radio and kernels should I use
What else do I need.
I know its a lot to ask for but can somebody please walk me through this
Thanks in advance!

Not too sure if I can help (as I have a 32A magic) but can you say what you've done so far? Maybe tell us you phone specs? What recovery you're using?

Applying my first ROM - Please Advise..

OK so I've been doing my research and figured out what I wanted to flash my Magic with. Before I get into that though, for reference - here is my version info:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 SAPP50000
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32​
Now, I am planning to use the following recovery:
[Recovery] [32A & 32B] [08-Dec-2009] RA-sapphire-v1.5.1
And flash the following rom:
[ROM][32A][Nov07] MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI on HTC Kernel 2.6.27
As far as I can tell I won't need to install a different SPL?
These are the steps I am planning to take:
Backup all my apps and APN details
Use fastboot to boot the recovery rom
Make a backup of my current rom
Wipe data
Copy new rom to SD and flash it
This list seems almost too simple though, I feel like I am forgetting something.. can anyone with more experience than me (I am a complete rookie) please check this and let me know if I'm missing something?
Also, any hints and/or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Come on... anyone?
Of the 78 views is there really no one with any input? Really I'm just looking for some simple feedback.. if all I said seems correct to you, please let me know. I am holding off flashing my phone for the first time to be sure that I got all the details right.
Thanks so much for who ever takes their time to respond.
Looks OK for me.
The only thing i can't remember when a exactly i copied the update.zip file.
For the rest, it's ok. No need the SPL. I've got the same rom.
You can go for it, the procedure you describe is OK. Too simple? Sure it is but who said it wasn't?
My only advice would be to prefer Magic GyD over MyHero but it's a matter of taste, I guess (also Redglasses seems to have left the building while GyD is still active... we can therefore still get answers to our questions and even bugfixes if needed)
Happy flashing and as said before there's no real need to change your SPL yet, both mentioned ROMs will flash and work fine using this one.
Thanks for your replies guys, I flashed it yesterday and everything worked fine
swissp, any convincing reasons to switch to "GyD" ? I assume it also runs Android 1.5?
Yes, all fully working SenseUI ROMs run on 1.5
I have no really convincing reason to tell you to switch but I'm using Magic GyD because I feel, after trying MyHero, CaSense and GyD, that it's the "closest to bugfree" custom SenseUI ROM available for 32A. The devs will probably stop there because 2.0 is coming and these ROMs will keep their pros and cons. It's unlikely that MyHero 2.xx will ever get its Market bug fixed, for example. Case also said he will probably not develop his ROM further.
I really hope they can get the camera working with 2.0 soon because that's the only reason I'm staying away from it at the moment.
I gotta say, I've been using MyHero for a full day now and I haven't run into a single bug yet. I do have to terminate all background apps once I start to run +/- 5 or more but that's not a big deal imo.
My only complaint is that it isn't runnin on 1.6

Complete Noob to the HD2

I traded an iPhone3GS for a T-Mobile HD2 and am completely lost
-Whats the latest ROM for a T-Mobile HD2? currently it is on 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Having a Nexus be my primary device I have zero idea what im doing here software wise, any help is greatly appreciated
The guide in my sig may help you some. You have the newest stock ROM btw. It's hard to help if you don't have any real specific questions, though.

that walkthru seems to be what you need, but the rom is a Clockwork Recovery Mod rom that is flashed from the sd card, so you need to flash the CWM after the MGLDR, but before the rom, you also need to find out what rom partition you need for the CWM, sense roms usually use around 400mb, so look in the sticky roll up thread where you found the walkthru and you will see the Clockwork Mod thread, and you'll have to ask in the rom thread what partition you need.
how to get the latest and best sense version of android working on it?
- Seems difficult. At first, you have to know how to make a ROM
How do I know what Radio Version I have?
- In the setting meu, you will find out the radio versio.
Look, you don't have to know how to make a rom, you're not reading what I'm telling you, if you want a rom with the latest sense, find one that you can flash that has it already cooked in it, like the incredible s/vivo port. Just find any sense rom that you like and learn how to flash it, you don't even know how to flash and you're getting concern with rom making! There's a bunch of roms with sense on them but only a few with the sense 2.1, is not like they can just throw it in a rom and that's it, they have to work out the bugs and make it compatible with our hd2.

You can reboot your phone and there are three lines of numbers in the first boot at the bottom of the screen that will look like this example: R.2.08.50.15, or this if an old Europe hd2, R.2.07.51.xx, the radio has to be a 50 on the 3rd section of numbers if US, if US hd2 you cannot flash a 51 radio or YOU WILL BRICK IT, TOTALLY BREAK YOUR PHONE!!!!! you need radio 2.15.50.14 for best performance in android, US or EU.
You can also go into your settings in windows mobile and check your software info and it should give you the rom and radio number.

[Q] Which radio for mexdroidmod?

Hey... I'm getting ready to flash the meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO rom. I know it is a 2.3.5 based ROM. Does anyone know if I needed to update my radio? My MT4G is Tmous on stock 2.2.1... Rooted & S-off of course.I really appreciate any input.
Try to flash any Gingerbread based radio (use 2.19.531.1 RUU)
Refer this post it gives you all the available radio & the procedure.

you really don't need to flash a new radio with the ROM. Some people just like having the option of being able to flash ones that have little tweaks to help them out in problematic areas. The most honest answer one can give you is flash the various radios. Watch your signal meter and battery gauge to see which one helps you out the most.
Thabks for the advice
Cool... Thanks. I'll flash the ROM & see how it goes. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Always remember to check for the most suitable radio before flashing.
It's not really necessary to flash a new radio with the Rom.
It depends only on your requirements.

[Q] Reboot HTC HD2 to WM 6.5 from android 2.2

Hi guys, I'm pretty much a newbie to this all and was wondering if anyone could help me get my HD2 back to its original settings of being on WM6.5.
I recently upgraded it to 2.2 by NAND ( no idea what that means) but I was successful on getting it up and running on android.
Im now trying to be more adventurous and see if I can boot the rom to 4.4 but just for safe measures, I'd like to know how I can get the system back. Also if anyone can post the links of what Id need to download to get it to 4.4 and how I need to do that from 2.2 would be great. I don't know if I could just upload another android version on top of the 2.2 or if I would have to remove that first.
Thank you in advance

In future search before posting. To flash a higher version of Android (although 4.4 doesn't exist yet and probably never will) check out the guide in my sig. To flash a stock ROM just download one from the HTC website and flash the RUU in the bootloader.
I tried looking for previous posts that would hep, but this stuff is completely going over my head and I am still determined to get my HTC on an upgraded android version. What android version would you recommend? anything more up-to-date than 2.2 would be great (with everything working, I have read posts where some people have had problems with the camera not working)
I have had a look on the HTC website and they no longer support HD2 :-/ How can I restore it? *confused* I'm a complete newbie and a noob, yup both, but I will not be giving up
Further guidance would be great.
I think a JB ROM would be good if you want functionality and the latest version. If you want stability then 2.3 is probably best. The only real solution is to try a few ROMs out and see what you like best.
