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 ?
thanks in advance,

i know it says 32a but when i first flashed a 32a rom it wouldnt do anything. I can flash g1 rom all day long though.
So what would be the latest radio for my device?

Just stick with your 2.22.23.02 radio. Your device is a 32A but more of a 32B. Let me explain... the only thing that's a 32A is your memory. HOWEVER if you have a custom rom built for 32B MyTouch devices then it is not taking advantage of the 288mb of ram so it gets wasted. You need a lot of modification of the kernel to take full advantage of it. So technically... since you are not using all of your ram... you pretty much have a 32B device. It requires 32B radios... 32B kernels... 32B roms. So for the most part anything that works on a 32B device should work on your device. With some exception of some roms that have older kernels. In other words... no Hero roms with 1.5 firmware because your touchscreen and headphone jack may not work.
Just stick with your existing radio because it's a mild inconvenience to change radios anyway because you have a protected SPL and even if you did manage to flash a newer radio... odds are you won't notice any difference anyway.

thanks for the reply and for the explaination on the whole 32a 32b stuff good to know
thanks

Which Firmware to use.

Ok So I have a Mytouch 1.2 and a Fender and they have been rooted with the goldcard style.
I'm ready to change firmware but dont know which to get It showed I was 32b before the root now its 32A
Do I use a firmware for the original 32B from before root or use 32A for after root.

You have a 32B

So I should use 32B firmware even after the root changed me to 32A, Correct?

You never had a 32A and never will. Yes, 32B.
Let me straighten this out.
The phone is a 32A/32B hybrid. It's a 32B phone with twice the memory as normal 32B devices (equally as much as 32A) so it uses a 32A memory map. Which is why it says 32A. HOWEVER, it requires 32B radios, roms and kernels. Fair warning, unless you design a rom specifically for your device (and the only rom out there is stock) you will NEVER take advantage of that extra ram that comes with the phone because of the different memory map. It's gone, wasted. Because the kernel's that you use are built for devices that have less memory. Kinda like running Windows 7 x86 with 16gb of ram. It runs no different than if you had 4gb of ram. (Poor example but best I could think of.) So you will want to treat it as a 32B otherwise you can break your phone. I would dare to say that at least half of the problems in this forum for people with this device are because they break their phones trying to treat it as a 32A. Don't be one of them!

Thank you i am now informed. I am used to G1's i know there isnt alot different but rather be safe then sorry. Thanks again.

Sure not a problem. Refer to the G1 section for the majority of ROMs to use on your device.

Hello all, I'm not exactly a noob but much like the guy above I'm in need of some DIRE assistance. Here are my specs:

RADIO 6.35.10.18
My problems are many, but basically I'm hoping this thing isn't bricked. The recovery menu is gone, it had CWM but somehow that was deleted. I can get into HBOOT and fastboot, but neither are doing me any good in terms of trying to re-flash the recovery, and I'm almost out of options. I keep looking for SAPPIMG downloads, I have the goldcard and all, but nothing is working. I'm trying to flash one now, a stock 1.5 sappimg, but it keeps getting stuck right as it's trying to flash a new radio. Does anyone have any suggestions, any at all? I can tell you what I've tried if necessary.

we wait for who knows
someone give us a solution

I manage to root my phone by trial and error with a combination of three applications:
Superoneclick
z4root
Universal Androot
I don't remember which one and what version but they help me. I suggest to try all.

I finally got it.. learned alot .. then i had to reroot it cause i restored tmous and during the process flashed the wrong eng spl it powers on but no fast boot or recovery. I guess jtag is the only option.. sad part is its my girlfriends from

Sad to hear that. These devices are in big problems when spl and radio don't matches the originals.
Good lock on jtag, sorry I can't help you in that.
