[Q] my touch 3g rom problems - myTouch 3G, Magic General

so,1st i want to apologize if the answers im seeking were already posted but ive been searching the forum for some time an i could not find exactly what i needed..
here it goes:
i have an htc my touch 3g (t-mobile europe i guess) it came with froyo 2.2.1 but i wanted to instal cumstom roms so after extensive research ive manage to root it..donwgrade to 1.5 ,upgrade to 1.6 with hboot - 1.33.0013d and radio - 2.22.27.08 (sapphire pvt 32B ship s-on G)
now i kinda figured that i cand flash a 2.2 rom on a 1.6 or at least i think i cant..
I managed to get a few 1.6 roms to work(the most stable is dwangs s&s 1.11 stock rom) a few other worked but not that good..
my problem is: what do i need to get back to (at least)2.2
if posible please tell me what exactly i need to use to make it work..what radio/hboot..
sorry again if i was a true noob on my 1st post )

What SPL-info do you have now? And what ROM do you want: custom or official?

i want to use the cyanogenmod 6 or froyo yoshi / ginger yoshi
here's my whole info :
sapphire PVT 32b SHIP S-ON G
Hboot - 1.33.0013d
CPLD-10
RADIO - 2.22.27.08
Firmware version - 1.6
Build number - DRC92

If you have custom recovery (AmonRa 1.7.0 G or ClockworkMod Recovery), then you just need flash gingeryoshi via it, cause your Info already matches with requirements. Wipe data/factory reset before process...
p.s. Custom ROMs contain only system and boot images. It is safe to change custom ROM. Even if you will flash incompatible custom Rom, your phone will not load, but recovery, hboot and radio will remain and you able to flash any other custom ROM.
In very rare cases devs include radio or recovery image in custom ROM, but it is exception. True devs don't do that.

i have RA 1.2.0G if i remember corectly i could not flash the 1.7.0..so why cant i flash the roms with 1.2.0?

just rememberd i tried to flash some time ago cm 6/fy/gy a couple of times and every time i got bootloop..could be because i have ra1.2.0G instead of 1.7.0G ?

come on guys,no one can give me some exact pointers?

Flash official RUU: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
Then get root (via SuperOneClick) and flash custom recovery 1.7.0 G
p.s. Probably, recovery 1.2.0 G has old install-method and not compatible with new format (tags "update script")

How to fix 32a with Perfect SPL

Dear xda developers.¨
Recently I updated my Nordic HTC Magic with an official update on HTC's site.
Before I had the update I had the HBOOT-1.3300.0009 (SAPP10000) SPL. I loved and had tried many Hero ROMs and even cyanogens mod. But then I restored my Nandroid backup and wiped the phone to install the official update...
After I updated the phone I now had the HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000) SPL which is also known as perfect SPL....
Is there anyway to revert back to my old SPL? Or do I have to install one of Amon_Ra's Engineering SPL?
If I have to install one of the Engineering SPL's is there anyway to "restore" when HTC sends out an officially 1.6 android or cant I go back when i first go for it?
Oh and can anyone also post a method to get custom ROMs up again on the 32a with perfect SPL... It seems that all the tutorials I found in the search was for the 32b device...
Bump... I really need to know this...
Bump... I REALLY wish to know how to bypass perfect SPL for 32a and how to make it "normal" later on.....
would be nice if someone could share this information with us since i have the same problem!

Why not just try any spl you want by flashing it as an update zip or any zip file..?.
If I have to install one of the Engineering SPL's is there anyway to "restore" when HTC sends out an officially 1.6 android or cant I go back when i first go for it? Why would you want to ??

There are quite a few Hero roms for the 32a

flashed 32a radio to vodafone 32b

I have a vodafone 32b which i wanted to root and give another rom. I had a perfected spl and used the method to root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218. After succesfully flashing sapphire.img i am stuck on a 32a radio and 1.33.2010 spl. Fastboot isn't working for me so i cant use the method to revert to 32b radio and rom. I have a working goldcard so maybe if someone has a sapphire.img with 32b radio i can convert back. I don't know what to do.
fixed
its fixed! used the 1.5 bug and together with flashrec i was able to install a new 32b rom with a 32b radio!

The 1.5 bug?
some special build from this website http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod. It allows you to install a 1.5 rom with a bug on a perfected magic.
Dude, 1.33.2010 allow to use fastboot.
But now i can flash recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img to my phone right? My radio is already fixed because i installed the 1.5 bug rom. Then i should be able to flash any rom i want?
what is 1.5 bug rom ı need ,t for recovery my phone..
its wrongly uploaded 32 a but phone normally 32B

Magic Fodavone questons

Hi people!
I bought couple of days ago HTC magic which is bought from Vodafone. I never have had a android phone and the whole android world is still new to me.
The first owner said there is some custom bootloader installed and this is 32B phone?
Baseband version
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Mod version is:
CM6-FroyoRedux 2.0
I dont like this rom bicouse i think its not best rom for me. I have had a lot of windows mobile phones and this forum and custom roms for windows are familiar but this android world seems to be little bit diffrent. Is there things what i should know before i do anything? I want new rom which is stable, fast and simple. I dont need many programmes installed allready etc. in my rom now this cant connect to android market and it is kind of stypid so i need new rom but first i need to know how it is possible so tell me some things about this
Is it only possible to me to install 32B roms which i didint see very much in that rom section :/
EDIT: Tell me which roms are possible to me to install?
Somebody can tell me something?
Before you install a custom ROM in your HTC Magic you need to do a few small steps. I did them based in the tutorial from cyanogenmod
How do I root & install CyanogenMod?
HTC Magic see How to determine if you have 32A or 32B
HTC Magic 32A Users: HTC Magic (32A): Rooting
HTC Magic 32B Users: HTC Magic (32B): Rooting
myTouch3G 1.2 / Fender LE (3.5mm jack) Users: TMobile myTouch Fender/1.2: Rooting
It seams your friend told you it was a 32B version but since you're not sure follow the steps in that tutorial. There you can find what you need in order to proceed. Since you said you already have a custom ROM you won't need to root again (since it should be already rooted). Therefore is just needed for you to determine the version, radio and then you can download and apply the ROM you want. If you need to root just follow the instructions in the wiki link i gave at start.
There are ROMs that are for both versions but it is because someone ported them to the other version. What i want to say is that a HTC Magic 32A can only get 32A ROMs and a 32B only get 32B ROMs. You can check at the topic of the ROM you want the version that the ROM is for. 32A version ROMs sometimes are radio-specific.
you can see at the topics:
[ROM][32A] ... -> is for 32A (most likely old radio but enter to check)
[HTC Magic] [32A] [NR] [6.35] ... -> is for 32A NewRadio (6.35)
[ROM][6.35] ... -> for version 32A NR
[ROM][32A][3.22] ... -> for version 32A old radio
[ROM][32b] ... -> for version 32B
[Rom][32a][32b][3.22][6.35] ... -> for both versions and for both radios
you got what you need?
32b myTouch 3g 2.2.1
Cyanogen Nightly 271
Hboot - 1.33.0006
Radio - 2.22.19.26i
Kernel - 2.6.35.9
ADW 1.3.3
ClockworkMod Recovery

is it possble ??i mean to ask will the RUU work perfectly
i dont have a nandroid backup of my stock rom
Turn phone off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power (fastboot-mode).
Explore info. Check Rom Matrix Section in Official ROM links.
If you have current hboot version higher than in desired RUU, then you can not install this RUU.
p.s. post your current spl-info (first 5 rows, all symbols are important)
here are my first 5 lines
sapphire pvt 32A Eng S-OFF H
hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)
cpld-12
radio-3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009,17:27:03
the rom matrix says
ROM Matrix Section
ROM HBoot Radio Test CIDs
[32A]
01) 2.15.901.4 1.33.0008H 3.22.20.17 N TIM__401
clockward recovery installed .....and i have "S-OFF"...is this fine??
tell me if i can now proceed or not with the RUU link i mentioned above..
I don't see any restrictions if you have eng s-off hboot. You can do any thing))
But notice that stock 2.15.901.4 ROM is on Android 1.5 and never updated more...
It is too hard to use Android 1.5 now...
yeah thats true...i need the stock back...
so can i proceed with the RUU???
Yes

Cyanogenmod 6 is unstable on HTC Magic 32A

Hey gents. My dad has had his Magic for a couple of years now and lately it's become quite slow using the official Roger 2.1 build. I offered to update it to whatever the community has created. I've never done this before so I started with Cyanogen mod. I basically followed the directions here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio) downgraded the radio, rooted the phone and installed recovery. I then installed Cyanogenmod 6.1 which is latest for HTC Magic (wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_version#MagicCM6). Unfortunately Cyanogenmod is very flakey. Everythign is quite slow and trying to access the Maps crashes the phone and so does trying to access the ROM Manager.
Here's the info the phone displays during fastboot:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Should I upgrade the radio back to 6.35? Where can I find a stable 2.2 or 2.3 ROM? Is there anything else you guys can recommend?
Thanks!
i recommend carz android 2.3 rom for 6.35 radio
stable and fast.
but i have not tried the new rom's that emerged 'recently'

Thanks blizard80, is this the one: db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?developerid=2245#684?
Maybe a noob question but what's the difference between carz recover and say Amon_Ra Hero recovery that installed during the rooting process?
Thanks!
