Im no noob to rooting flashing or hacking G1s (so im familiar with the process and know adb pretty well). MyTouch3g (32B) is new though and already bricked one doing this process previously.
Currently on my second one and want to get this right.
SPL was: 1.33.2006
Successfully downgraded to
1.33.2005
I can confirm I have root with the google Ion rom I am running.
My issue now is when I try to flash a new rom.
When I flash an update.zip it seems to install ok, but just sits on the my touch splash.
this is unless its an official rom, currently running Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip.
Can someone let me know if im missing something.
Had the same issue with the last one I bricked, trying to avoid a repeat.
Thanks

Figured I should post my fastboot info
By the way this was downgraded and rooted using the goldcard method.

So I've figured out that I've got the myTouch 1.2 (because I have the 3.5mm jack) and I'm currently running a ported version of SuperD 1.10.3 which is awesome. The issue I have is that I want to replace my splash screen, however, the only success I've had in getting my phone rooted and a custom ROM loaded was to load up a rooted SPL, flash AmonRA's 1.7.0G recovery, and then reflash my radio/SPL back to the original state. So, I don't want to have to load up one of the rooted SPL's and then go back every time I want to use ADB via Fastboot. What I was wondering is if there's any 32A SPL's with the 2.22 radio so that I wouldn't have to go back to the locked (perfected) SPL. Here's what I've got

This is the wrong section. Should be in General (unless you're releasing a new engineering spl)
You need to use an engineering spl to modify your splash screen, flash the new splash screen, then flash your stock spl back. You might be able to continue to use the other engineering spl (1.33.2010) but you will lose half of your ram, headphone jack, etc.
Here's the engineering spl
Here is the stock spl
Alright, that's what I had been doing but wasn't sure if maybe there had been an engineering SPL put out that I could continuously use. The issue I've had is that whenever I load the engineering SPL, do whatever I need to, then go back to the original SPL, I can no longer boot into recovery. I end up having to reload the engineering SPL, flashing over the hboot and radio, and reflashing my recovery on. Is that right or is there an easier way.
About the wrong section, I though about that a few minutes ago, sorry for posting in the wrong one. I'll remember that for next time.
What I've been able to do is just flash the 2010 Engineering SPL, flash my new splash screen, then revert back to the normal SPL and everything works from there.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said.
@Binary100100
How do I Flash ENG SPL and Flash back the Stock SPL? Is there a guide?
Also, how do I back up my own Stock SPL?
(wondering the one provided stock spl is the 1.33.0013)
thnx in advance.!

If you've got the myTouch 1.2 (with the 3.5mm jack) then you can use this guide following steps 1-8. What are you trying to do it for?

I want to Flash the FAT GREEN T-Mobile Splash screen into something else.
wow, thnx for the guide. but I need to make a GoldCard? is the the only way to flash the SPL? and flash it back?
Binary100100 posted the ENG SPL, and original SPL. What I am wondering is, what spl version is the original?
Can I just zip up the Original SPL, and rename it update.zip. and Flash it.
Will this work?
The original SPL will include the stock recovery which you don't want. That's why only the radio and bootloader are in that guide to be flashed back.

So I was "flashing" a new ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.07 earlier on my phone, and the battery was near dead, so I decide to plug it in. I didn't bother to think/realize it was plugged into the USB port on my computer, and as I did so, the installation stopped and the phone turned off. I turned it back on, to find the "MyTouch 3G" green splash screen either stuck and the phone eventually turns off, or it loops, and the phone keeps rebooting. I've tried flashing flashing the ROM again and some different ROMS I believe, with no luck. Yes I can get to the recovery screen and I can get to hboot/fastboot. Any direct troubleshooting would be very much appreciated. I don't really care what ROM I have on my phone at the moment, I just need something that works. My old blackberry is missing several keys and the rest barely work, so it would be nice having this one back up and running I've searched other threads and other forums with no luck so far. PS I don't have a Nandroid backup...thought I did, guess not though.

Flash recovery AmonRa 1.7.0G first
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then search 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d and flash it via
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
You will have

and able to install new 32B roms (for radio 2.22.28.25) via recovery...
p.s. Don't flash anything when battery at 30% or less
Most roms require the new radio and spl that came with the froyo update. You have the radio, but you need the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl.

Do you have ability to load recovery?
p.s. fastboot commands are locked in hboot 1.33.0013 (1.33.0013d)
yeah I know they were blocked, but I figured out how to access via adb
so I got the proper recovery image on...and flashed CM6, however it's still looping on the MT3G splash screen
Edit: Weird - I tried the 5.0.8-DS and it worked. I appreciate your help..any clue why 6 don't work?

May be need special kernel for radio 2.22.28.25? What requirements for CM6?
Not sure, but it says I'm running 6.1 now. And I downgraded my radio to 2.22.23.02.

Ezterry released a different cm6 for people that had problems with the first one, I think it was a kernel issue

hi guys again,
finally flashed recovery but I got a problem now.
As I flashed sappimg.nbh from here my phone is not Magic 32A(with 3.22 radio) anymore, its Mytouch3G S-ON with radio 2.22.19.26I and 1.33.0006 spl.
How to upgrade to 3.22(or 6.35) and spl to 1.33.2010(or 1.76.xxxx)?
cant find nothing about this
or maybe how to revert to normal magic?
Dude, stop experiments with your Magic now)) You posted a lot of text and got a lot of problems)))
Please post FULL SPL-info. All symbols are important! Absolutely...
Heres my issue...
No rom or recovery rom that works
yes bootslpash screen
yes fastboot with security
I need a solution that involves
a funtional rom
ability to flash to funtionality
I have researched and troubleshooted this problem extensively; to no avail! Even though I should have already, I will donate 20$ for attention and 30$ for solution.
Thankyou

You need a few things.
1. goldcard
2. A sappimg.zip with a higher version than what you have with an Eng spl. (Preferably for 32b)
3. Time, patience
4. Luck
All of these are easy to find or get besides time, patience, and luck
Im currently looking for sappimg.zip that contains the required criteria. I will post after flash attempt...
thank you
forgot to mention
I forgot to mention a common occurance since I lost custom recovery and custom rooted rom, ect.
the "goldcard-sappimg-flash" process freezes or hangs at [4] SYSTEM during the unzipping portion
As you have MT3G v1.2 / Fender - it is too hard to restore your phone after your faulty actions. You bricked your phone, when flashed inappropriate hboot and radio

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.

I was having problems rooting my Rogers HTC Magic+. I used this method and it worked like a charm to get root, Eng SPL. After that I was able to flash custom recovery and ROMS.
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
solved your problem yet? maybe i may help.
no... i have not solved my problem yet your help would be greatly appreciated
