I paid a guy on Craigslist to root my phone (to Android 2.2.1) for me and put a new mod on it like 2 months ago.
I don't like CyanogenMod's 6.1.0 lack of stability (most of the time it doesn't recognize external apps stored on the memory card (using Apps 2 SD) and most of the time apps don't get installed using Marketplace. I also hate the green tint.
I'd like to switch to Ginger Yoshi 1.0 RC7. I noticed I have this app on my phone called Rom Manager. Can I use it to install Ginger Yoshi ROM? If so how do I do it?
I have the HTC Magic 32A phone.
Sometimes Marketplace is able to update apps, sometimes not. Today I was able to update ROM Manager to 4.2.0.2.
Hello ablang. To install the Yoshi thingie ROM you must change the radio. Can you please boot into fastboot and type whatever information you see there? In order to boot to fastboot, power off your phone, hold the volume down button + power on.
Edit: I'd recommend you to install diet gingerbread. It's the pure Android system found on the new phones. Very stable, fast etc. But anyway, do tell us the info you see on fastboot loader.
Hi Konstantinos,
It said:
Sapphire pvt 32a
hboot-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
radio-2.22.23.02
Aha. You must change the hboot and the radio versions. First of all, I was in your position some days. I wanted to change the radio, things etc. You can do it, by using this program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450
Your hboot must be: 1.33.2010 or 1.33.2010
and your radio must be: 3.22(the old one)
Don't worry where to find those files though. The link I gave you, on which you will find the appropriate program to change those things, has the files you need.
Download it, and if you have a question, post here.

NO!! don't flash any radio or spl! give us ALL the fastboot info. and do you have a headphone jack(tmobile mytouch 3g 1.2)? if you do then flashing the 3.22 radio will likely cause a brick. i would suggest staying with the radio and spl that you have or if you want to, upgrade the radio to 2.22.28.25. anything else will have problems.
if you dont have a 1.2 and have a true 32a then idk what you need to do. wait for someone with a 32a to help. (but from the little info i saw you seem to have a 1.2)
Yeah guys I forgot to tell you that I do probably have the 1.2 version since it is white and has the 3.5mm headphone jack on top.
I tried to get as much of the fastboot info as possible but it moves so fast.

ok. so if you want a different rom (i would suggest ezgingerbread or cos-ds) just download it to your sdcard and boot into recovery (home + power) then install from there

You have a 3.5mm headphone jack, right?
If yes you have a 1.2 device
get 2.22.28.25 radio and spl is fine, dont change it. Goto the developer sub-forum on this forum and click for gingeryoshi 0.7 and get the kernel there or look for the MT3G Fender 1.2 2.6.35-12-test4-10M kernel. Get your rom and flash the radio first. Then flash the rom. then flash the kernel. Then reboot. Wait 15-20 min for first boot.
Hello ablang.
I got the same phone as you, same mod and same hboot info, except mine is black. Im going to try and throw yoshi on mine later tonight. If you still need help Ill try and help you out after I finish mine.

Hey all,
Just got a Fender Mytouch 3G 1.2, that has the OTA Froyo (superslow) Tmo update. Been Googling and searching. Just trying to find a) the best froyo or gingerbread rom and b) the easiest way to do it. Can I boot into recovery without clockworkmod and flash a zip? Any help or link greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, quick run through of what I have, how it happened and what not.
I have a MyTouch 3G 1.2 (3.5mm jack), I had CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS running just fine, usually having ~90-100megs of ram free. I decided the other day I would performance test it against CyanogenMod 4.2.15.1. I couldn't find any documentation of how to do so on my Magic (or I just couldn't think of a search query that brought me to any documentation o_0), so I tried a method myself.
I first installed the base Google Ion image, signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip, then installed update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip. Everything installed properly and booted up, but the touchscreen wouldn't work, just the trackball. I fully wiped and reinstalled 6.0.0-DS and the google apps, and it booted up fine... but now I'm lucky to have 14 megs of RAM free... WTF HAPPENED?!?
TL;DR I tried my own method of installing CM4.2.15.1 from 6.0.0-DS, and when I went back to 6.0.0-DS, I seem to have lost ~90megs of RAM! Anyone know what I did to mess my phone up?
Any help would be very appreciated! :O
Edit: Also, everything works as it should, it's just I have no RAM. It struggles to do anything so I don't even leave the message screen at this point xD
Post ALL your fastboot info here...
I think that you have the wronge spl and that's why you only have access to limited ram!!!
Does your 3.5 mm jack work? It could be related...
Yes my jack does work, but here's my fastboot info:

well you are running the 32B radio...
You should have this combo: spl 1.33.0013/ radio 2.22.23.02
The 32B version have around 90 mb ram less than 32A versions...
Flash the right radio and you should get your ram back.

33) 1.91.177.1 1.33.0007G 2.22.19.26I N VODAP120
It is my best guess :0)
If the CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS was running before it should run fine again even if you change the radio.
Thankyou sir One last annoyance for you? Could you lead me in a direction of where to find just the radio update to flash? Or fastboot? or o_0
You cannot flash trough fastboot since you have perfected spl...
So you have to flash trough custom recovery...
Try to search for the radio in the form of a recovery update file.
I don't have one at hand... but i know there is more then one source on this forum :0)
Thanks for the help

First things first do you have custom recovery installed? Cuz if you do not have you must do it, root your phone and and then install custom recovery.
Then download this adnd put on your sd card
reboot to recovery do a nandroid backup
then select install zip and select that file and wait untill it installs and reboots you have eng spl now.
Download then eyegor's radio switcher plug phone (you must have usb debugging enabled) and click flash old.
after that you must download some 2.2.1 nonsense rom and put it on sd card and again flash through recovery.

please reply fast because i wanna get 2.2 as soon as posible
if it messes up and like boot loops and all that cause i have a stock rogers 2.1 sense i updated from them and just rooted with custom recovery from mumilovers thread here. Do i just go to reecovery and click recover nandroid?
cause i did my nandroid a few days before just in case ....
also please give me a link to eyegors radio radio switcher
and do i use any cyanogen version like 6.1 on their stable list ?
do they all support the same hboot and radio your telling me to go to...
also by going on a diffrent radio will it mess up like the 3g and the signal or anything to do with calling or data?
Thanks for helping me and I know im asking too much questions but thanks
also do i have to fastboot to change radios?
and to fastboot its volume down + end call right ?

Try to flash the sappimg.zip that gave you the first spl version (1.33.2010).

Are you trying to intentionally brick your friends phone?

I'm guessing that you didn't do much reading before actually messing with his phone did you?
MyTouch 1.2 (aka Fender, aka LE) w/3.5mm headphone jack
Ultimate Guide: How to root myTouch 1.2/LE Fender (3.5mm jack)
Look, I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time but this is exactly what I was talking about a few days ago.
There is so much confusion over this device! It's not hard! Anyone that thinks that is is should have been around when the device first came out! DAMN THAT WAS ROUGH! But it was a learning experience. And through that learning experience we made apps (Androot) and guides and stickies JUST FOR THIS! Yet... how does this keep happening??? Someone explain it to me... please. I'm desperate to know.
[/RANT]
With that said... you are going to have to use a goldcard now that you have S-ON, still not rooted, no custom recovery, etc. You won't be able to boot the phone up because you are DEFINITLY using the wrong radio. You'll be lucky if you didn't completely brick it already.
Use the links above to create a goldcard. I'll warn you that this can be a pain in the butt ( not to mention that some sdcards are notorious for not working at all for this method!) because it requires getting ANOTHER android phone, putting the sdcard in to get the serial number of the sdcard (unless someone knows another way to get it), entering the code into a website to get the goldcard image e-mailed to you then using a hex editor to copy the bootsectors of that goldcard image enter the code into the hardware of the sdcard via card reader so you can use the freshly made goldcard, then all that's left is dowloading the right sappimg.zip file, placing it on the root of the sdcard and booting into the bootloader. You would flash the goldcard image At that point you will be have the Engineering (S-OFF) SPL again and the CORRECT radio. Once that is done you only need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (G type, not H)
Then flash the stock SPL back.
Then you will be free to flash a 32B type rom through recovery.
After you have done ALL OF THAT! Your friend might spare your life.
Here... try something like this. Maybe you can find someone to help.

That post seems to be talking about mismatched radio and spl. His match, but are the wrong ones. He should be able to flash a sappimg.zip to get an Eng spl and fix from there
Ironically, the thread you have suggested is the first thread I followed to configure my device for the "carz" latest custom rom.
Is there a way around the "unzipping hang" that happens during system partition portion of RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver flash? I have also tried the goldcard method with extracted rom.zip of the mentioned RUU rom with same result.

Yeah, but solution is same. Sure, he can start from step 2, cause he has combo without mismatch between hboot and radio already.
And yes, should flash 2.53.707.2 to get special combo with eng spl and then return to stock.

The ROM in my Signature works really well.
Flash the original "RRU", then root with androot.apk from market, install rommanager from market and flash recovery, reboot recovery and flash the ENG spl

3. Copy misc-edited.img to sdcard
4. With Rom Manager installed type this in a terminal emulator.
# /data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-edited.img
5. After that use the stock-sappimg.zip. Rename it to sappimg.zip and copy it to the sdcard.

(stock android 1.6 sappimg for the mytouch 3g 3.55mm)
6. Turn off the phone and then press volume down + power button until bootloader shows. It should pick up the sappimg.zip and flash it.

Good work! Now let's see you get S-OFF and an ENG SPL

Thanks, this is a tricky device and I don't have a clear idea in how to accomplish that in a safe environment. Do you think it's worth the chance? What are the practical benefits in doing so? For now I only know one bonus using ENG SPL in this device and that is erasing everything from fastboot (for that I use superwipe) but flashing still not possible, all other good commands are still excluded.
Please, make me wrong and make me a gift with your guidance.

Heh, I was just joking. What you really get with S-OFF and an ENG SPL are more ways to fix things and more ways to break things.
With S-OFF, the phone won't check the signatures of things you flash using HBOOT or fastboot, so you can get the phone to flash something that's been modified... but you can already do that if you have a custom recovery.
With ENG SPL, you can change just about every setting in the phone and access all of the fastboot commands without getting "remote not allow"... But, again, most of the things that you'd want to do (flashing a custom ROM) can be done with the custom recovery.
And, if I remember correctly, if you use an ENG SPL on a myTouch 1.2, you lose half of your available RAM, at least until you go back to a magic SPL.
I suggest making your life easy and not doing any of these things

That's what I thought too, better leave it unTouch. Thanks for your help.
Yes, using anything but 1.33.0013(d) spl and a newer radio will decrease available ram (by 18mb on 32b, and half on 1.2), and will break headphone Jack and other stuff on the 1.2 until you flash back.
Is that my misc-edited btw? just checked md5sums, seems to be. glad to see someone actually made use of it. you now have all the benefits of a goldcard, without going through the complicated process of making one.
Also, roms can probably be easily updated to support 1.33.0014 ), most likely a 1 line edit to the updater-script
Pmerced, could you dump your current misc partition for me? I have never had the opportunity to look at what happened to my edits after an update.

Here it is.
thank you.
it did exactly what i thought it would. it has the goldcard cid (you can flash any sappimg.zip or ruu), and it updated the main version like normal.

i am using ubuntu 13.4 thanx for help and im so sorry
iam sorry for bad englsh
You can't flash from fastboot on this device unless you have an eng spl.
The normal process of getting a custom rom on the dream/sapphire is first rooting your stock rom, then flashing a recovery from there. Then you update radio/spl as needed and flash a rom.
I have never messed with the 1.33.0014 spl, but from what I've heard, it gives no benefit, just headache.
