Need help installing Ginger Yoshi on Magic 32a - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello everybody, I'm new to rooting and custom roms. I'm trying to get Ginger Yoshi 1.4 but need help.
I have HTC Magic with Android 1.5, 32a, SPL 1.33.2010 (S-OFF), radio 3.22.20.17, Amon RA's recovery (sapphire version, 1.7.0).
I don't know which file from the Ginger Yoshi's Mediafire dir to install?
Should I install any patches, or are them included in 1.4?
Should I install kernel after ROM?
Is kernel change required at all?
Which one is best?
I'd apreciate any help.

Hi,
If you follow the dedicated thread >> here <<, there's exactly what you need !
You got the SPL and radio, just check it out
(hint: you have an old radio)
Edit: BTW, you probably try v1.3 first, because there's only one ROM and a kernel patch, and mostly because the battery use is lower (quoted from a few friends of mine, who tested 1.4 vs 1.3)
Regards

As I wrote earlier, I'm having problems with deciding which files (and in what order) to run. In a mediafire folder that is linked in that OP, there are eight files, plus three kernels.
So, can anyone tell me which file to use?
Code:
Ginger yoshi 1.4.zip
Ginger yoshi 1.4 fix 32a/b.zip
update build prop for 1.4.zip
Which of these kernels?
Code:
32a kernel.zip
auto-boot-2.6.35.12-farmatito-32b-and-a.zip
This is seriously sick to go through 730 pages to find any info on installing ROM...

[Q][SOLVED] Reboots into recovery after flash

Hey guys this is my first post
I always read and search thoroughly to avoid making thread mostly because I'm not an active member of this community but I can't do this on my own this time. This is my second Magic 32B. The first I sold it
I never had any probs with my first, but on this one I can't seem to flash most of the roms. It shows the vodafone logo, reboots and goes to recovery :x
I tried the following roms and didn't work:
Code:
cm6-minimou-final-32b
update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed
TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix
update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed
I am now using
Code:
RA-IONv1.6.3G
Am I missing something?
I have a rooted 32B 1.33.2005 with 2.22.19.26I radio.
Thanks for reading
(found the solution -.- i had to install the RAv1.2.0G recovery for the goldcard method and I ended up forgetting to flash the 1.7 again :x my bad really :x )
all those froyo roms require the new radio which u dont have.
click the link in my sig for the "newest" radio "ie: not the latest 2.2.1 froyo tmobile ota radio"
I flashed the 2.22.23.02 from your sig and tried 2 different roms and I still have the same problem :x

[Q] As a noob, installing the Ginger Yoshi on HTC Magic.

I Just downloaded the Radio Switcher Tool(htt://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677045) and I am now focusing on installing the Ginger yoshi ROM on mt HTC Magic which i Rooted earlier today with Amon_Ra.

HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)

Thats how it looks when i enter the fastboot mode. I got it all backed up, and with the RadioSwitcher i can easily change the SPL and Radio so it matches what the Ginger Yoshi requires.
My question is: if i change the SPL and Radio so that it matches Ginger Yoshi requirements, first of all what files are important for me to download from
http://www.mediafire.com/?cabub1g3y37gj
in order to "install" this ROM. And how do i do it once i know which files to download.
Thanks a lot, i am as you can see all new to this.

Once you have the new radio and SPL installed:
1) Wipe your phone (a variety of ways to do this)
2) Copy the "ginger yoshi 1.0 RC5.2.zip" and "32a kernel.zip" files to your phone
3) Flash/install the ginger yoshi zip file in Recovery mode (first).
4) Flash/install the 32a kernel file to your phone in Recovery mode (second).
5) Reboot!
That should do it!
32b, 2.2.1 vodafone update
hello,
i have the official 2.2.1 (hboot: 1.33.0013, radio: 2.22.28.25), i cant flash rc6 before i did not downgrade to 1.5 in cause of following, wright?
"Note: The new OTA 2.2.1 update is going to restore original recovery after each boot, and will delete the custom one. (This happened to me) I tried flashing ROM before it was deleted and got Boot loops, no matter what ROM I used." "What helped me was flashing Android 1.5, then updating it to 1.6, and from there installing custom ROM." http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10532992&postcount=1
do i have to create a goldcard after it?
which kernel do i have to install whenn running 2.2.1 from vodafone? this one:

Your radio and SPL are fine to run Yoshi's, just read through the first post in his ROM and it'll tell you that. Don't change your radio/SPL unless you absolutely have to so that you don't end up coming back here asking for help because you bricked your phone. No offense, but it's better left alone.

I'm not sure if you need to flash the kernel. I want to say I didn't need it with the 2825 radio. The kernel built into the ROM should work with it.

[Q] Rooted Mytouch 3G with 3.5mm jack; Need help installing Ginger yoshi

I have a Mytouch 3G with the 3.5mm jack.
FASTBOOT Specs:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
When I bought the phone (used) it came with 2.2.1
I was able to root the phone by downgrading to 1.6 using HBOOT and then using Universal Androot. I then installed Amon_RA's recovery (RA-sapphire-v1.7.0) using Rom manager.
I want to install Ginger yoshi but I don't understand the information regarding the SPL and the Radio.
I tried installing an Engineering SPL using the recovery mode but this caused the phone to stop booting either normally or to recovery. I had reinstall 1.6 using HBOOT and perform the rooting process all over again.
Do I need to change anything regarding the SPL and Radio in order to install Ginger yoshi or for it to work better?
Is there a different kernel I need to flash in order for it work or work better?
I realize a lot of this is addressed in various posts but I feel I've gotten too close to bricking for comfort and I need some advice specific to my situation.
Edit: I'm not at all set on using Ginger yoshi. I'm totally open to suggestions as far as Roms. I'd prefer a GB rom that's as fast as possible.
Changing the radio on your phone will have little to no effect on anything. Changing the spl will give you a not fully functional device.
If you want to use Ginger yoshi then yo will have to flash another kernel after. They have one in their download folder. The fender one.
A lot of roms (ezgingerbread ad cos are the ones i use) use autokernel so you don't have to deal with that
Oh also I think ezgb is much faster than the others probably beause it doesn't have all the cyanogenmod features (bloat). light and fast

Thank you very much for your response. I'm probably going to install ezgingerbread but I have one question first. Do you know what the ginger yoshi post means when it says:
RADIO AND SPL INFO
for 32b you need SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08
for 32a you need SPL 1.33.2010 or 1.33.2009 and RADIO you will need the old radio(3.22)

That's the part that got me confused. Can I just ignore that?
Edit: Is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9987696&postcount=2 the best (only?) source for ezgb binaries?

[Q] Newbie wants to install Ginger Yoshi on Rogers Dream, where do I find SPL?

Hi,
I have an unlocked, rooted, Rogers Dream. The radio is at 3.22.26.17. I have installed Amon RA's recovery (1.70R). I have also installed SPL 1.33.2005 (after a little bit of clarification on the use of recovery). I would like to install the Ginger Yoshi 1.4 (Android 2.3.5 based) ROM.
In the requirement for the Ginger Yoshi ROM, it says that it supports the 32A machines (which I am assuming this phone is, based on the 3.22.26.17 radio), and needs SPL 1.33.2010. I have not been able to find the 1.33.2010.zip file anywhere. Is there someplace I can get this so that I can install it?

There is no such thing as a 32a HTC Dream. Making assumptions like this will get your phone bricked. The 3.xx radios are buggy so I would recommend flashing a 2.xx radio and Amon RA's 1.70 (without the R) recovery then you can just treat your phone like a G1.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but now I am more confused than ever. If I flash the 2.XX radios, doesn't this make the Rogers Dream into a T-Mobile G1, meaning that I would only be able to use the T-Mobiile radio frequencies, not the Rogers/Telus-Bell ones. I would be limited to using Mobilicity and Wind as carriers?
If I do indeed retain the Rogers/Telu-Bell Bobiity radio frequencies, I would assume that I would need to reflash the Amon RA 1.70 recovery (non-R version), the radios, and the 1.33.0013d SPL? After that, the generic Ginger Yoshi 1.4?
Sorry if I sound lost, but I followed the rooting the Rogers Post 911 Wiki to get to the point where I am now, and while I had a couple of small hiccups, it went fairly well, and the phone works; its just pretty constrained by the memory limitations. I want the Ginger Yoshi on the phone to elimiate the memory size issues, but don't want to keep flashing the phone due to the potential for bricking it (I'm still pretty new to this, so I don't know if I can recover from bricking the phone, and I do like it).

I just answered this same question yesterday over here.
Flashing your radio will not change the frequencies that your phone uses. It is a physical difference in the antenna not the software. Follow this guide:

Yes, you are correct about this.
RcklssNdngrmnt and beav_35:
Thanks for all of the help. I did as you recommended; used fastboot to flash the RA version 1.70 (non R), Radio 2.22.37.08, and SPL 1.33.0013d. I then loaded the Ginger Yoshi 1.4 fix 32a_b,zip, and all is fine. It is working well (and I hope it will be stable). Thanks for the patience and taking the time to post the links.
I bought this phone to learn my way around Android, and it has been an eye opener.

[Q] - About HTC Magic and his potentials

Hello there guys,
I am a newbie android user and i just got HTC Magic at my hands. I had HTC Click before and had rooted & flashed it to CM7 but it was clear and straight with auto-root one click and flashing rom. Now i need help 'cause I have no idea what to do to speed up my HTC magic 'cause it's waaaaay too slow!
Here are it's specs and my questions:
HTC Magic 32B (from Germany, The Vodafone one)
Android Version: 2.2.1 official
Baseband Version 65.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25
ALSO
Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-On G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO - 2.22.28.25
if needed!
These are things I know about my phone.
So my questions are:
1) Is there a way to root & flash a custom rom so i can speed up my cell without the danger of bricking it (i read some things over the forum for such problems in my version 32B)
2) Is the cracked rom (CM for example) version faster than the official one?
3) If it's not safe can i downgrade to 1.6 official rom so it's faster?
Considering i'm a new user please answer accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your time and your answers,
M.
Use superoneclick or gingerbreak to root.
Flash a custom recovery with rom manager.
Cm dropped support and the last official version for the magic is 6.1. It slows down over time.
Ezgingerbread is the fastest gb rom for d/s.
Dreamteam froyo is a quite fast froyo rom. I recommend it over cm (and I am not biased at all /sarcasm). I am currently running a web site on it with great uptime and good performance.

hello there and thanks for helping!
i did rooted my cell with gingerbreak and did the 'recovery AMON-RA' thing
but now how can i flash a rom? is there any tut on how to flash SPLs and
Radios and ROMs? 'cause i'm a bit dizzy with all these new infos over here
Thanks again,
M.
btw i want this ROM to be installed:

You are already on the latest radio/spl so flashing that is a bad idea
To flash a rom just reboot into recovery and follow the menu to flash it.
Why Ginger yoshi? If you want fast, any gingerbread is a bad idea
i've put this ROM now and it's quite fast but not enough as i wanted. no serious improvement and it's lack of android's 'navigation' :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
i think i'm gonna try this one, what do you think of?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576893
If you want fast, gingerbread and sense ate the wrong way to go.
Ezgingerbread is the best gb rom we have.
Try my dreamteam froyo rom (should be in my sig). Its quite fast.
I finally flashed the DreamTeam froyo ROM and it's WAY faster than the previous. I love this ROM, thanks a lot for your help m8!
