You should be able to download the ROM you want to use (make sure its compatible with your phone), copy the file (will be a .zip) to your SD card, go into recovery (home+power), select update from .zip, and then select the file from your SD card. Some of the older recoveries require that you rename the .zip file to update.zip before you can flash it.

Are you asking how do you run the rom??? Or are you asking how you update to a newer rom??? I'm really confused...

I'm confused as well. I suggest a nandroid backup before u do anything. Perhaps a backup phone

what im asking is well when i did the one click root program it rooted my phone and then i installed the clockword rom manager with recovery now thats all i did to it no updated for spl or anything...do you guys think i should do something else before i update this to the cyanogen rom froyo rom?? or just wipe and backup and flash??

Suggest amonra new recovery first off. There is a new radio 2.22.23.02 if its compatible with your spl. Then nandroid backup always. Then flash new Rom

Easy with flashing the radio, you could brick your phone that way. You shouldn't need to do anything but flash the ROM, unless you've got a board requiring the EBI1 kernel which should be available with the CM ROM. Go into fastboot using (power+back) and post that information here.

[Q] Need Help Updating My Radiooooo

I have a [32A] My Radio is 2.22.23.02 Im trying to update it to 3.22 I Found a tutorial but really didnt understand the command prompt parts ..................................sorry ima noob

No no no no no, did I say no? You've got a hybrid 32A/32B device. Flash that radio and your phone will become a paperweight. You need to read the sticky on the first page about myTouch 1.2's.

Ooooooooo I get now so my phone is really 32B? Hmmmmm the reason I was asking because I want to get Ginger yoshi rc4 it said it needed 3.22......how do I successfully install that rom?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

You probably wont be able to. You can try flashing it and then flashing a 32B kernel over it, but that may send you into a bootloop. Which is fine, just make sure you make a backup of your current ROM first so you can restore it if something does go wrong.

When I flash Ginger Yoshi I do go into boot loop I always thought it was the radios fault tho..

Its not necessarily that the radio is at fault, more that the ROM's kernel isn't made to support the 2.22.23.02 radio.

[Q] Is there a pre-rooted rom for the MyTouch 3G?

Hi
Is there a pre-rooted rom for the MyTouch 3G? (the original version - without 3.5mm jack)
I'm looking for a file that i'll just have to copy to memory card, and flash it.
i prefer the latest version - but any of this are welcome.
Thanks

Ohhhhh... did you check the development section?

You need to root your phone and flash a recovery (I prefer Amon_ra Recovery) then you'll be able to flash a ROM. Please read the dev how-to threads or Cyanogen's wiki - it's not too difficult.

Yes, there is a flashable stock file for the orignal myTouch that is version 1.5. You have to flash it from the hboot. Then there are 5 update files that you'll flash from recovery to get you all the way back to stock 2.2.1. I've got all the files in a folder in my Megaupload account, but can't link since Megaupload is blocked here at work. I'll link it when I get home.

Thanks a lot, i'm looking for it.

Here you go. You only need the sappimg and update files. If you need help flashing let me know.

Hi
i have just flashed the sappimg to my MT3
But at the activation screen i don't see the activate over WiFi - like i was expect to see on a rooted rom.
Do i need to flash all five updates to get a rooted rom?
Thanks for any help.

Woah, that's completely different from what I thought you were talking about. I thought you just meant a stock ROM. Pre-root as in "before root". You can't do what your wanting to do. You'll have to activate and then root using one of the several guides out there, such as the "New school" one in my sig.

[Q] Android 2.2 on MAGIC 32B

Hi guys,
I'm really desperate because since weeks I'm searching for a Step-By-Step tutorial with links to the needed files to flash a current cyanogen rom (6.x) to a friends HTC Magic 32b (german vodafone rom)
I think this is the information you need:
Sapphire PVT 32b SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT - 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19.261
Jul 31 2009, 15:49:25
The current os-version is 1.6
Could anyone PLEASE help me and tell me what to do? In any tutorial I found before, there's something I don't understand or doesn't work with my configuration or a broken link.
Regards
A planless man

Maybe a link to the rom u are trying to install? What u have done thus far? Are u rooted? Ect.

Thank you for your fast answer.
It's not rooted, and I don't look for a special rom - but it should be a cyanogen 6.x
My problem is, that there's something in each tutorial I find, that I don't understand or is missing.
I so I don't start with it because I don't want to brick the Magic.
Maybe you know a "complete" tutorial and give me the link - I'll check it and we could discuss the point that are not clear.

Look at my guide..check my signature...
It should be all you need to root and get custom recovery.
The rest is rather simple and there are like 1000 guides on it..

Check out his guide and post your questions/concerns and ill try to help. At least by tomorrow night I'll be home with my PC

OK - so far so good.
What I understand is, that I have to do Step 1,2,3,4,5 and 7.
Now I want to flash this image: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/dream/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
After that I want to flash the tiny google tools:
http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
What I would do now is:
1. Copy both files to sdcard
2. Start magic with power + volume down
3. Perform Full sweep
4. Apply update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
5. Apply gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
Is that correct or am I wrong again?

Did u do the steps to gain root? Meaning u are rooted and have a custom recovery? What recovery do u have? What radio/hboot do u have now? What do u mean by full sweep? Volume down and power is fastboot mode not recovery mode right? Do u have sdk set up on your PC?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA Premium App

I didn't do anything - at the moment I try to understand.
I followed the Link Magic: 4 easy steps ROOT guide in mumilover's signature.
OK fastboot was wrong, I meant recovery mode
A SDK is not needed as far as I understood mumilover

Ok. U are correct. I read it. Couldn't see his sign from xda app on my phone. I would flash the engineering spl too. Just me. But yes. Do all that and u will be good to go. Before u go flashing cm and gapps make a nandroid backup from recovery first. Then wipe everything from recovery and flash away

OK, I'll try all that this weekend and hope it works.
Thank you mumilover, Thank you johnson8cyl.
I'll post the result in this thread

Great !!!!!!
I tried yesterday evening and it worked.
I didn't flash cyanogen 6.1 because the zip-file was corrupt - but I switched to SuperFroyo and it runs and runs and runs ....
Again: Thank you for your great support!

[Q] simple question about hboot

guys, i'm sorry to ask this question but i never got the answer from reading all the stuff here. i have a froyo 2.2, stock, the classical one from the last OTA upd., not rooted, a 3.15.405.3 build, with hboot 1.01 and i would like to root the device . 1) do i need to "downgrade" the hboot to 1.00 ? i couldnt find any guide to this one 2) do i have to downgrade to 1.31. version as the Unlockr says? his video is from the 13.12.2010 so i'm wondering if the things have changed since then.
thanks for any answers, hope i dont make some people angry

You can't downgrade your hboot. But correct you need to downgrade your ROM to root your phone..

so i just downgrade the rom and thats it? i mean..the procedure with the gold card + downgrade etc but no worries about the hboot? thanks in advance

Now you need to flash clockwork recovery which will let you install custom ROM(CM7 for example).read carefully on unlocker.com and you should get answer for all your questions related to rooting your legend.

Not unlocker.com. Gotta go to the right one if you wanna do the right thing, eh?
EDIT: WHOOPS! EVEN I FAILED THERE. MY BAD. Thanks ivanakis!

uuupsss...sorry.my bad.

theunlockr.com is the right one i think
