New Rogers Root - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Haven't seen this over here yet so thought i'd post it.
Seems The Rogers guys don't have to pick and choose any more for ROMs.
Heres the good news.
Clinton

I can confirm it works, but you need to use a 32B (Google) branded recovery, otherwise it gets all screwy.

Wow, that's fantastic news! Going to really open up what we can put on our phones.

just to clarify, haykuro has made it so we can flash 32B or 32A roms on a 32A magic?
Can we also flash Dream roms or would that be fubar due to the keyboard/radio?
Cheers,
Frank

Will this work on a 32A HTC Magic??

Just a note, in case people are wondering, 32A roms will no longer work with your phone after doing this.

So, it means after flash this radio, my 32A machine seems become 32B ?? I am update my original 32A rom, I think I need to reinstall rom after this... Thanks a lot...

I have a 32A Magic & am considering doing this. I thought you could use both 32A & 32B roms, but if not why would I want to do it? Does 32B have more/better ROMs?

The new radio doesn't have the boot offsets that are present in the original Rogers radio, and as a result the 32A roms don't work. The main benefit of doing this, is that the majority of roms released are for 32B Magics (which is what most people seem to be devving for) so as a result you don't need to wait for ports in order to enjoy the new roms. If you're perfectly comfortable with your current rom, or would rather just port the roms yourself, then you don't need to root.

skittleguy: So it becomes a 32B with 288MB of RAM? Also, do you happen to know how to backup the radio? I'd like to be able to restore to stock should the need arise . Thank you!

32B have all the ROM's out for Dream with slight modification...

If I knew how to I would
And yeah, it essentially becomes a 32B with more memory, so all the optimizations that were made make the roms crazy fast.

The only thing stopping me now is the lack of a radio backup . I'd love to be able to switch it back to a 32A if possible.

Wow. Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions skittleguy. And your Roger's ROMS repo thread is awesome!

One more thing, does this mean we can run the Dream ROMs as well (instead of the usual 32B ported ROMs)?

They still require porting, probably due to the boot.img-kernel being different between the Dream and Magic.

Nope, the kernel is the same...
All that changes is the file in boot.img init.trout.rc gets renamed init.sapphire.rc and everything (wifi/bluetooth etc) works perfectly. i think the file is the hardware setup file and luckily the dream and magic are the same hardware, different case and keyboard

with 32A or B? If 32A need the wlan.ko and maybe wpa_supplicant to go with it
32B works perfect for me
(unzip rom, unpack boot, rename file, repack boot, rezip, sign, flash )

Ok it works now. Patience and repairing the ext filesystem seem to have done the trick.

questions before i flash my rogers magic...

Hello everyone, i just received my unlocked rogers magic today! looks beautiful and I cant wait to get it flashed to hero rom so i can get customizing. I am quite nervous regarding the steps, as they seem different and your inda required to take bits and pieces here and there to get thru the process for your specific phone. These are the specs from my phone :
PVT 32A SHIP S -on H
HBOOT - 1.33.00009(SAPP50000)
CPID - 12
Radio - 3.22.20.17
Do i need to follow the root steps in the magic wiki? or can I just install the full hero rom and expect it to work properly? I would like the little android guy startup animation from the hero as well, not sure if thats included in the fatality rogers magic rom. If i have to follow the steps for root first, then i would download Haykuro's Magic "rootme" rom, but not the magic modified recovery rom on the same page, because i have another .img file i downloded earlier in wiki which is supposebly for 32A boards, its called daldroid-recovery. if I have those files right, then i think i can do the rooting process. at the end of the driod wiki, it says to get the hacked spl for nandroid backups etc download haykuro's SPL update, is that something I need to/should be doing now as well?
Thanks for being patient with me. I appreciate any help much
Do not use Haykuro's ROM for 32A phones. Daldroid's and Amon_RA's recovery are both ok for the phone but I prefer Amon's.
Haven't tried any of the Hero ROMs as I need BT so can't comment on that.
Going to go ahead and quote my own post.I swear there's a search function around here somewhere
Hereis the guide I used and would suggest you try out if your getting a Rogers Magic.
Once you have it Rooted you can flash any ROM that is for a 32a board(288mb RAM)
Here the Roms that are moded to work for the Rogers Magic.

my 2 cent information on this matter.
I would take a look at "Ultimate Guide to Hacking your Sapphire Handset" http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking - which also is in a sticky post.
It goes thru most issues.
Note, SPL flashing is the dangerous part and is not nessary needed. I have flashed several firmwares (also the wrong ones - 32B/32a, just reflash to fix) and i have not flashed SPL. SPL flashing as i understand it, is needed when flashing an unsigned firmware or parts of it - like a nandroid restore.
The root access. You get it by using the Android SDK and fastboot/adb, and it allows you to do the flash (and write files to your phone). After that most firmware has root access allowed build into the firmware so i can be granted dynamically.

thanks, i had actually already gone thru the hacking wiki and other stickies but still had some questions. I think that CLINTONH's link should help the most. is there a reason not to use fatalitys hero rom on my magic? it was listed under the rogers rom repository thread.

None at all, unless you can't live without bluetooth. It works for listening to music with BT headphones but not with handsfree systems. I use it anyway, I tried other ROMS but the Sense UI is what I like. Some say there is lag but I don't find it lags any more than the stock ROM.
Clinton
Thanks Clinton, If i have time today at work im gonna try following your steps. So far ive just gotten the adb connection setup between my phone and mini.
Great post, I have many of these same questions. My Roger's Magic is out for delivery right now and I sure can't wait to get it up and running with my AT&T 3g service.
I've tried both JAC's 32a Hero and Fatality's, and personaly I had serious speed issues with Fatality's.
JAC's ran a lot faster on my phone, Nordic HTC Magic.

Really it was the opposite for me JAC's ROM did the force close on me often and would hang when opening Message app and Mail. Browser was pretty fast but not a huge difference between the 2. Fatal1ty's ROM was very smooth and fast, my wife said the same no lag at all she kept it on her Magic as well. Maybe you had a bad flash or didn't do a data wipe?? Is your phone a Rogers Magic? Weird.
Clinton
i thought with all that extra ram on the rogers' magic, the same amount that came on the hero, that there wouldnt be any sort of lag with sense UI and that it should be the same in perfomance as the real hero.

Unfortunately, the real Hero has quite alot of lag. From what I have used, the compcache'd ROM's for the G1 and 32B are alot faster than the actual Hero itself.
I got my Rogers magic in, unlocked on at&t. The first thing I did was rooted and stuck this Fatality rom on there. All i get it crashes in multiple menus .
I'm about to try the JAC one and see if it's any better. I don't care about the sense UI but need a non crashing rom + multitouch. Any ideas?

it probably needs a lot of optimizing for it run smooth then haha which is kinda unfortunate they didn't optimize before releasing the real hero.
I agree, i used hero rom on the G1, fully optimized and it was running pretty good with compcache. now, if we optimized and compcache it to run on the magic with the 288mb of ram, i'm sure it'll be really smooth! i hope i get my roger's magic soon, cant wait.

Are you sure you flashed it right, I think I've had maybe 2 crashes in the whole time I've had this ROM on my Magic. Please read through the Guide I linked to and fallow it the letter. Then download a copy of the ROM from the second link and do a full wipe before installing the new ROM.
Clinton
I've been using the 1.2 version of Fatality's ROM ever since he made it. It's worked so well I haven't even bothered to try out 1.3 or 1.4.
I find most of the lag with Sense has to do with all the background updating that the new widgets do (stock updates, contact FB syncing, etc..). Once those are minimized it's really zippy.
Personally, I love the connectivity of the UI. Everything just works so well together, it's so tight. I'm looking to get my car hooked up with BT, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Awesome, totally awesome.....as far as A boards go, ClintonH, your link should be the sticky for everything. I followed it exactly, with my rogers magic, and it just worked. I was nervous at first, but each step worked as it said it should. i now am running fatality's magic rom and its amazing. I love the sense ui, and i cant tell any more lag than with the rogers rom. A+++ the wiki might be a tad confusing, but if you use the files specified in clintons link, youll have no issues!

I thought that too, but I installed it twice and both times I got tons of crashes. The third rom I installed is the Jachero optimized rom and I haven't had one single crash yet.

MT3G now rooted, What now?

just wondering, now that the MyTouch 3G is rooted, what ROMS(If any) currently work, or are we going to need to wait for some compatible ones to be made?
Thanks!
I will edit with a current list of what ROMS do and don't work with the MyTouch as word comes in...
Current ROMS reported to work:
fatalitys hero rom
cyanogens
Qtek Hero (Works very very well for me.)
This thread could be a good starting point for roms that have been tested on the MT3G. I think I read that one of the Cyanogen roms was installed. I'm interested in getting more HTC software on it (read; HTC Sync).
ive tried fatalitys hero rom, and cyanogens, and both work fine on my rooted MT3G
sounds like a great idea!
yeah, we MyTouch owners need to know whats next for us! If theres any good starting point for determining what current roms will work, this thread should try to help out with that.....
Now, i have a 32B board, so is it safe to say the magic 32B ROMS are fine for it? or is there enough of a difference to where it wont work?
From what I understand(which is not much, mind you) the only difference between the 32B Magics and the newer MyTouch was the SPL. With that now not an issue, shouldn't the current ROMS work, or am i wrong?

Also what do you mean everything is well with root access after flashing the original myTouch ROM?? shouldn't the root go away when you reflash the OEM ROM.

MyTouch Rom Thread
I'm only flashing the update.zip file and so I'm only flashing the OS part.
So the SPL, Radio, and etc stay the same.
Now I'm going to strip it down for him and see if it runs better.
Also, don't forget to wip the system befor flashing the new rom.
Cool I downloaded that one earlier. Have a friend making me a gold card to root with. Now where can I get the original SPL? I read that the ION radio is the same as the myTouch, is that right?
Are you guys flashing back to the 32b radio before you flash 32b roms , or you going straight after getting root to flashing roms ?

I installed 1 32A rom before flashing the radio and jumping on the 32B bandwagon. All was fine either way.
Question, I just finished rooting my mytouch, I have done all the steps except for the 'daredevil' portion which reverts to the 32b I think.
From my current position what roms can I use? and if I do the 'daredevil' approch what can i use?
Thank you.

Yup. That's the difference between utilizing the GiveMeRoot.zip or not. Without it 32A, with it 32B. I know you probably got that already, but if anybody else is reading I want to make sure there's no confusion. lol
Cyanogen flashed properly, although the accelerometer isn't working any longer for some reason. I have no idea of the fix, but the one listed in the FAQ is not working. Other than that, it's great.
Awesome thanks !
i tried flashing fatality's hero rom after doing the "basic" 32A root and i get stuck on the vodafone splash screen... i followed all the directions to the T, so no, fatality's rom does not work for everyone... would not recommend trying just yet
Ugh I'm totally lost with 32a vs 32b I mean I understand the memory difference or whatever, but I just want a ROM like what JF did to the G1. The default firmware with the addition of root. Nothing taken out, nothing added in. Except the kernel patched for tethering. Any suggestions? Everything I've seen is heavily modified.
And of course I still want factory images in case of a brick.

I would be careful running the 32a stuff on your phone. Even though you have the 32a radio and recovery your phone still has a 32B board in it. I flashed back 32b stuff, prefer not the have a brick. Just an FYI and my .02.

Hero ROM that will work on a EBI1 Dream

A friend of mine purchased a Dream. Even though it has a 32B motherboard, it has the same SPL (1.33.0010) and Radio (3.22.20.17) as my 32A Magic. Since it has the perfected SPL I used the Flashrec program to flash a new recovery image. However all the Amon Ra recovery images for the dream didn't work. Eventually I let Flashrec automatically download a recovery image. It said that the phone was an EBI1/32A and downloaded Cyanogen 1.4.32A recovery image. This recovery image actually worked, so I tried loading a few Hero Roms for the Dream. Unfortunately none would boot.
I've scoured the forums can't really find a solution. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574561 suggests that a ROM with a 32A kernel is required. Would this mean that 32A magic ROMS would work with an EBI1 Dream? Which ROM should I try?
Also I'm not really keen on changing the SPL or radio as my Magic works perfectly running MyHero 2.0.5 and RAv1.2.1H recovery ROM

Questions are best answered in Q&A section, and anyway do you have the danger spl and new radio. You need these to run hero
Oops my bad, perhaps a moderator could move it. It has the perfect SPL and version 3 radio. The exact same ones I have on my Magic which runs a Hero Rom

Sorry, don't mean to sound rude...but you don't understand the question. He's asking if it will work as-is, since other devices with 32A radio/recovery run Hero ROMs just fine.

Sorry if this is already being discussed in our G1 forums, had a look but one thread created was closed (therefore hope I'm not doing something I shouldn't be by opening this one, apologies if so!)
I found the link for an untouched OTA Froyo update for the myTouch 3G:

I read the forum over there and they talk of perhaps needing another file, as the update supposingly comes in 2 parts. Is it the case that we need a different radio/spl etc? What is the next step for us?
Hopefully one of our genius developers can get this working and ready to flash on our G1's, an official Froyo!
Wohoo!
Well it looks like it's flashable OOTB. It does contain a new radio image, but I'm not sure how that would work with 1.33.2005/whatever safe SPL is...
I guess stage one is removing the radio and flashing?
Then testing the radio with engineering SPLs?

Im guessing they are either working on it now or we are the only ones home on a sunday afternoon lol
All the magic (pun intended) seems to be going on in this thread.
From what I've looked at thus far:
The kernel is built from the latest update in ASOP; at a new starting offset. Since the Dream source has no code to backup this alternate offset; and no configuration for trout in the ramdisk the new rom has the boot image will not work.
You can try to take the rom w/o radio/hboot and run it on a CM6 kernel.. this may operate.
As for the radio update.. it works with 1.33.2003/1.33.2005 as any 2.22.x radio however cm6 kernels fails to initialize the 3d graphics region that the radio moved and the phone reboots (RA-Recovery and adp1 1.6 rom boots without issue on the new radio)
Last HBOOT.. its a perfected HBOOT (it will work on the dream with a 2.x radio so dangerSPL rules apply) however if you are not very very careful you can get stuck..
In short at the very least some coding it required to get the same benefits as the Magic users will have.
I'm really excited bout this...perhaps recompiled with latest nightly CM kernel could work....!!!

As for the radio update.. it works with 1.33.2003/1.33.2005 as any 2.22.x radio however cm6 kernels fails to initialize the 3d graphics region that the radio moved and the phone reboots (RA-Recovery and adp1 1.6 rom boots without issue on the new radio)
Last HBOOT.. its a perfected HBOOT (it will work on the dream with a 2.x radio so dangerSPL rules apply) however if you are not very very careful you can get stuck..
In short at the very least some coding it required to get the same benefits as the Magic users will have.

one point of your thing here is wrong. i don't know about the others, they're probably right knowing you.
In the chatroom i posted, I successfully booted this ota with a cm kernel. duh.
I also booted a cm kernel WITH the tmobile-provided ramdisk. weird.

I'm a bit surprised about this... but all that is needed to correct any issue is a init.trout.rc (seems most of the needed init logic is in init.rc)
we need a working sense ui 2.2 rom with bluetooth and touch focus

no the ramdisk will.. the kernel is compiled without dream support.. and at a different offset than usual.. this will take some poking and re-build from asop to make a similar kernel.. the problem with using the CM kernel is I suspect that there is additional ram make available by the new radio+kernel configuration.
so what do i have to download and what do i have to do with it, to run it on my G1?

I agree on that speculation... you mean you haven't tried it yet? i thought you did...

I tried and failed to boot the kernel on a dream; and I looked at the source code; and noted the new boot offset.. Just booted it with a CM kernel now
Edit: Camera works, seems smooth.. wifi error.. need to inject root
woot, thank you!

is there any improvement on memory/memory management with this change?

[PSFreedom-Recovery][PsfMod]32a-NR Sapphire[6.35][26/10/10][Added Payloads]

*32a New Radio 6.35 Sapphire/Magic only*
magic 32a old radio here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776929

Well I managed to figure out with a lot of reading and sleepless nights compiling source how to build a recovery for you PS3 guys.
It's based wholly on PSFmod recovery for hero.
Thanks klutsh for the git source. Thanks kakaroto for the pl3 source. Thanks Cyanogen for the kernel source(I'm using my modified 6.35 CM kernel)
I posted this in my kernel thread and those that tried it say it works, I have no PS3 myself.
If you let me know about updates in this thread I can re-compile for you.
PSFreedom Recovery for New Radio Sapphire
MD5: 1a8a1e063fc9af5efb3ec780d9b802bd
Here are the custom bins that I compiled with psfreedom pl3 bins
psfmod for 32A
hey man once again,
a few minutes ago i tried to load a custom payload from here -> http://www.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Hero with u'r recovery, but it gives me an error.
i've checked the error log and it seems to be something related with this: -> PSFreedom gadget: Error: Payload size is more than the maximum allowed of 3808
i attach here my error log, it will possibly help you
thanks in advance

Oh those aren't compatible, I compiled all the payloads myself, I guess I should post them. Back in a bit.
Edit: some on that page are ok, the pl3 ones of kakaroto
so.. what does this do for you PS3 owners?

Allow us to enter in recovery mode, being able to load some homebrew.. Most people use it to load "backups"

It looks like just one set of payload files for all the psmod recoveries, but I have no idea what is what with those, I don't even own a ps3
it's work on 32b???
I get paranoid about flashing anything other than roms so I'd just like to double-check with someone who's done it.
I have a Roger's HTC Dream, with RA-dream-v1.5.2R, Radio-3.22.26.17, and hboot-1.33.2005. From what I remember, it's a 32A radio, and flashing Sapphire roms will work ok, but will flashing this recovery image work on this phone or will it produce a brick?
Thanks

Brick, you have to have the 6.35 radio and matching spl, this is only for new radio sapphire/magic, I though there was a g1 or 32a old radio version in the other thread.

no it doesnt
what about 32B
i don't see a 6.35 radio for that
do i even need that
will it work?
or has a 6.35 radio for 32B not been developed yet?
Hey Carz, I am using the Magic 32A old radio, I see you added the link up top for it, appears to be the original wich is dated 9/07, or is this for your new comp with the new payloads?
I know that, but I have no old radio device to test on, one of my magics bricked during the 2.1 update of rogers
Is it possible to use the hermes v4b payloads with this recovery?
That sucks, always worrying bout brickin. I have tried flashing both the v3 for 32a and the other one .kAroshi made with the pl3 and both just hang on the htc magic screen. On the recovery screen says 32a, my phone is the mytouch with the 35mm jack, so it is 32a right? Pretty sure it is. Dont remember what I finally flashed with in the first place! Trying to get back to there at least!!
psfmod for 32A
