32b MyTouch into a 32a HTC Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I am no longer endorsing this...plainly for the fact that it took too long to revert back to 32b.
if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133

Still, it doesn't increase the amount of internal memory you have on 32B. It makes 32A roms work on your 32B, but most of them will run slower than they would on native 32A's.

make sure you have installed all drivers from your phone. make sure debugging is checked in settings and then plug in your phone. Install any drivers if prompted. Then uncheck debugging and plug your phone in again and install any drivers. Thats what I had to do oddly.

No luck
Still wont work. There must be another way to change phone from 32b to 32a cause this aint workin for me

what operating system are you using? and do you have adb installed?

Is there anyway you can give really detailed step by step instrutions for those of us who are new to android? That would be awesome. Thank you!

dude if you can't install htc sync then you prob shouldn't even be trying advanced operations like this no offense. Its not really all that worth it anyway to switch to 32a. You don't have the correct drivers 99% sure. install adb first. then install htc sync. plug in your phone go into control panel--system-device manager and see if it was installed or if there are any question marks.

I would not be doing this if I was new to android. This is for advanced users. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448. It is the dream rom dev section and you can flash any of those roms to your MT3G being that you have the correct spl and radio. hope that helps

Thanks, but I am not new to the forum or phones or android for that manner, I was speaking for some of the newer people in the forum. Your instructions are basically just some links to a bunch of post that dont work or downloads that go nowhere. All I am saying is include the names of the files you are linking to so we know we have the right ones and be a little more specific please. I mean no offence but even for advanced users your post is confusing.

"This is not unrooting your mt3b for idiots." I'm not gonna make a full detailed guide on how to do this. Its not rocket science, just simply follow the links. Furthermore, im not the originator of this method but several users and devs (Eugene373 was original one who recommended this) have tried this method and been successful. If you can't read and follow simple steps then there's nothing I can do for you. Proceed at your own risk bro. and I fixed the broken links in the first post. don't kill the messenger man im just passing along information from a higher source.

HTC Magic - Root, SPL and Radio, Hero ROM Clarification

Newbie Here
My HTC Magic:
Carrier: Cosmo Bulgaria Mobile / Globul
Country: Bulgaria
Configuration:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HDBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32
Updated: I`ve rooted my Magic following this installation guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/08/how-to-root-your-htc-magic/
daldroid-htcmagic1-signed
daldroid-recovery
I`m not sure if daldroid and nandroid ROMs matters here?
Strange, some of the programs requiring root acces (Like Power Manager) are not working and again asking for root... but others are working properly..
I`ve read all the articles related to the SPL, HTC Hero ROMs etc., but didn`t find specific answer to my in mind question and confirmation if i understand it correctly, so here i am with the specific questions:
According the the above specification of my phone i assume i need first to install this SPL:
Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2005 Signed update.zip (This is the same one as the Haykuro SPL). from this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
- HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H : CPLD-12 (Greek)
I`m planning to follow this WiKi guide for the SPL:
1.
Flashing new SPL's and Radios
Push the update.zip file to your SD card or mount the SD card and drag and drop it in your OS:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
When you are done pushing it. Start the phone in the recovery mode by turning it off and then start it by hold home+end.
Then in recovery mode scroll down and press apply:update.zip, wait until it has finished and then reboot.
Once i successfully flash the SPL i guess i just need to choose the Hero ROM and then flash it?
For example this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-magic-including-hero-roms/
I really need you guys to confirm what i`m planning so far or to correct me if i misunderstand something.
I`m really trying hard to read all the articles and to understand what i`m facing and your help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Post your question in the Sapphire general forum. This is the Sapphire android development forum, you aren't trying to develop anything...
Can I throw something out there that's not entirely unrelated to the above post, in the hope the board mods are watching?
I can see both arguments from those in this thread - the OP is asking a question about how to make use of the development that goes on here, whereas Cheesebaron is taking the purist approach. Two to three weeks ago, I was at the same knowledge level as the OP and posted a similarly dumb query on here. A few weeks on I'm merrily contributing by fixing Exchange compatibility on Jerpela's builds. So I would say to those hardcore purists on here, don't scare off the noobs - you don't know what they'll eventually evolve into.
Now speaking personally, looking back to a few weeks ago, I would never even have dreamed of looking on the general board for answers on how to implement the things found on the development board. "General", to my mind, seems to suggest things more like "where can I get a nice case for my Magic?".
The answer? The Dream guys have a Q&A board which is clearly designed for the sort of post that started this thread. We don't. We need one.
Nobody willing to confirm or correct me?
Well looks like i have to brick my phone first and then ask any kind of questions... and maybe... someone like "Cheesebaron" will kick me again `cause it`s not in the right forum...
Thanks anyway...
Here you go.
Get your SPL Here
And this is the guide I like to fallow. It's for the Rogers magic but it should work for you just fine, just make sure you use a ROM for a 32A board.

`Couse i`ve already saw a guy with the same Board and Radio bricking his phone using this one: Modded HBOOT-1.33.2004 by Crios Signed update.zip
Here's what I did.
I followed this recipe found at http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545226
Then used this ROM instead of the suggested fatal1ty one. http://www.4shared.com/file/118776501/c759bba3/myhero-008.html
I have the exact same board as you.
I have no problems whatsoever, and the ROM seems the fastest and most stable I have tried. No overclocking needed.

32B Radio
Im finding that with my 32B magic that I keep losing the network signal and it doesnt automatically re-connect to the network when the signal comes available again, I have to select airplane mode and then turn airplane mode off.
I think at some point I may have flashed my radio but in all honesty Ive lost all track of what ive flashed
currently im using
62.50s.20.17h_2.22.19.26I
and NK02s latest ION rom
Is anyone else having this prob or know where I can get a download of the 32B radio?

How 2 Root 1.33.0006 SPL & Flash SPL || MyTouch3G / 32B Magic || Without Goldcard ||

How 2 Root 1.33.0006 SPL & Flash SPL || MyTouch3G / 32B Magic || Without Goldcard ||
Tutorial : Rooting the "perfect" 1.33.0006 SPL & Flashing a new SPL
Newb Difficulty Level: 5/10 (A learning android newb)
Advanced Root User Difficulty Level: EASY!
GIVE CREDIT WHEN ITS DUE!
Note to readers:
I actually found a easy fix for 1.33.0006 for 32B Magic or MYTouch3G phones
KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM USING A MERLOT MYTOUCH3G, Stock 4GB SD card & BROKEN "Market" Application SO MAKE SURE YOUR DOWNLOADING THE FILES THAT WORK BEST FOR YOUR DEVICE and I am only providing steps used to bypass the "PERFECT SPL 1.33.0006" & YOUR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULT OF YOUR DEVICE!
FILES I USED:
*ADB is a MUST so make sure to watch this video to safely install ADB
(NOTE: The video is using 1.6 donut spk... the steps are the same but use the 1.5 r3 spk on the same page given on the video.)
*flashrec-20090815.apk
MAKE SURE YOU USE THIS VERSION...!
* "Rooted" Recovery Image
I am using Amon_Ra's recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G which in my opinion is the best as it has flashed every rom perfectly if you know what your doing but it depends on what rom you will be flashing in some cases.
* A NEW SPL!
I am currently using Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2009-signed by Amon_RA (BIG UPs TO Amon_RA for these files) on my T-Mo MyTouch3G but it depends on your device.
NOW TO WORK!
Step One - Enable USB Debug/Development Mode:
*Load up your device till you reach your home screen. Once your device is up and running hold menu and go to settings>applications>development then enable "USB Debugging" then press home & plug the device up to your PC & DONT MOUNT.
Step Two - Install Recovery Image Loader via ADB:
*Open CMD and as the video above stated you must navigate to your ADB folder. Once that is done you should install flashrec-20090815.apk (Recovery Image Loader) though CMD by placing it on both your SDCARD & the ADB Tools Folder (For me its C:\android\tools\).
~Now type these commands within CMD:
cd c:\android\tools (press enter)
adb install flashrec-20090815.apk (press enter)
*Now you have installed Recovery Image Loader and you may now close CMD but dont restart your device
Step Three - Rooting the unrootable (Sorta):
*Now find your recovery image ( Example : Recovery-RA-Magic-v1.2.3G.img or Recovery.img). Once found rename it as "cm-recovery-1.4.img"! Save this file to the root of your SDcard & delete the "flashrec-20090815.apk". now press backup recovery image and wait till its done (quick 2secs) then erase everything but "cm-recovery-1.4.img" within the text box. Now type " /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img ". Now press FLASH RECOVERY IMAGE and wait till its done. Once its done restart the device and be aware that you will lose everything that isnt saved to your google account or backed up to your PC.
SMART COMMENT: WOW DID I JUST ROOT THE UNROOTABLE? I guess I did lol
Step Four - Change SPL to Prevent this issue in the future:
*Move the SPL ( & the ROM if you want to start installing it right away ) you downloaded earlier to your SD card and delete everything else if you want. Now select "WIPE/FACTORY SETTINGS" and follow on screen instructions and then do this a additional 2 times to be safe. Now flash the SPL and once it starts to reboot on its own (after it shows the picture of a box and a device) hold the home button and then FLASH YOUR ROM
THATS IT! YOUR DONE AND YES I DID SHOW YOU HOW TO ROOT 1.33.0006 but it doesnt run properly so make sure you flashed a new SPL before flashing any new "Radio" or "ROM" images or you could brick your device.
HOPE THIS HELPED MANY WHO HAD PROBLEMS ROOTING THE DEVICE!​
isn't this just the same as the one click root? cuz on the one click root you don't need adb. It just seems like you are adding necessary steps to it. Please correct me if I am wrong. I don't mean to bash your work by any means.
I don't see why no one else has congratulated you on compiling one of these for those people that might eventually NEED THIS GUIDE! Lol.
Great work. Simple.
I had the "perfected SPL" when I picked up my MT3G on the release date. Pretty unfortunate...but I rooted it like two days later. Lol.
I never got an answer in the other SPL thread so here it goes...
Can we safely go from one SPL to another?? The reason I ask is I have the problem with the blurry screen at boot but I only encountered it when I flashed a new SPL. Now I have read up on it & it looks like some people running the same ROM with different SPL's don't have the blurry screen.
Seeing how so many people had problems bricking with haykuro's DangerSPL, the SPL is something I don't wanna mess with unless I have a definate answer. So anyone wanna chime in on this?

Thats exactly why I posted this because I had a hard time getting back to cupcake because of the spl
Hello there, thanks for the guide.
I try to follow your guide to root my HTC Magic and I have some questions.
1. I run the command "adb install flashrec-20090815.apk " and it installed the flashrec to "/data/local/tmp" directory. Is this correct?
2. I copied the recovery image to the sd card and insert into the phone. then based on you guide. I should delete the flashrec I installed while ago. But I cannot delete the file. Can you give us more details regarding this one? Thanks.
3. Sorry but I have some hard time to sollow the step three. Can you give us more details about this.
thank you and good day

To be 100% honest im not sure where it is saved... i just happened to run into a working solution at random.

i was able to flash SPL 1.33.0006
I had rooted my MYTOUCH 3G in August using the one-click method. I have been running several ROMS since then. But I never tried to flash a new SPL. However, after reading this post I decided to give it a try. I booted into recovery mode/ wiped and then flash 1.33.2009 SPL. It loaded and rebooted into recovery again. I then wiped and loaded a ROM. everything is fine.
Later I checked and I now have 1.33.2009 SPL the perfect SPL 1.33.0006 is gone.
so im on a rooted mt3g, i have been running different roms, cyan, hero, dwang, i am at dwang 1.13. so to flash the 1.33.2009 spl do i have to wipe and flash to dwang 1.12 then flash the spl then dwang 1.13?
also what are the advantages/disadvantage?
which spl should i use?
thanks
Hi
I have 1.33.0004 on my 32B Sapphire and Android 1.6. Will this method help me root my phone? If not then is there an easy way to root my phone?

Will This Work or Brick My Phone?

Okay my phones info is as follows:
UK Vodafone running Donut 1.6
Code:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Jul 31 2009, 15:49:25
Now is this or is this not a perfected SPL "1.33.0007" as I cant do jack with it nor can I get any computer to recognize it when it's in fastboot connected to a PC...*sigh* (although it will when it's turned on)
Now assuming the above is correct and it is a perfected spl will the below work:
Step 1
Flash the phone with the 32A ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) this being a higher rom version than my own from Amon_RA's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218)
Step 2
Change the radio (any recommendations?) back to that of a 32B HTC Magic device and install CyanogenMod using the info again from a different Amon_RA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1)
Step 3
Sit back and bathe in the glory of my finally rooted HTC Magic?
Thanks in advance for any and all help even if it's just a quick reply to tell me I'm off my trolley and it's a sure fire way to brick my phone
Has anyone managed to get anywhere with this hardware. I have exactly the same version of hardware and have not been able to get it to connect to the pc in fastboot.
I would imagine that a lot of people are in the same position, with the same hardware so could someone point us in the right direction please.

Yes, 1.33.0007 is a perfected SPL, but nevertheless you should get fastboot to recognize your phone. Did you properly install the Android SDK USB drivers?

I had the same perfected SPL on my 32B but (luckily) with Android 1.5 CRC24.
I think it should work if you flash a "official" vodafone 1.5 CRC24 1.33.0007 image, then install flashrec on Android, change the recovery Image, boot into recovery mode and flash an engineering spl. Thats basically what I did, except for the downgrade to 1.5.
AFAIK on 1.33.0007 you should be able to downgrade without a goldcard.
Same Version
Hello everybody,
i have the same phone with the same SPL, too.
My Problem is when i try to flash the sappimg.zip with the POWER on and Volume down methode, everything wents fine.
But after reading the Update File i end up with an error like:
"Main Version is older".
Don't know what to do...
Phone HTC Sapphire (Magic) 32B Ship S-ON G
SPL(hboot): 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

I already tryed a Goldcard, but no luck at all
Any Ideas.
I readed 2 Threads, they got a problem with theire devices,
it also was an 32B Magic and they wanted to do an update, too.
And they ended up with the same error message, so they tryed
to flash a 32A Image, and then the 32B, and it worked.
But i am worried, don't want to brick my device.
Anybody out there, with an idea?
Greeting
ZabbensX
i got the exact same problem. waiting for answers...
If you are running Donut Rom DRC92 then at the moment you are stuck. We need to wait until a higher firmware with a non-perfected SPL is released. If you are running a Cupcake Rom (starts with a C) then you can upgrade fine. I'm in the same situation after bricking my first phone using a RUU (they are for 32As only). Luckily Vodafone replaced it under warranty but I have ended up with the perfected SPL.
After having root and now unable to get root I can't say I miss it much. It makes you think what do you need root for? One of the reasons was the ability to flash custom roms but no disrespect to all the Hero Rom developers but NONE of them run well on a 32B Magic. Cyanogens software is good but what does it do that stock firmware doesn't? Any way hopefully Eclair won't be long, a new Rom will be released and we can all change to an engineering SPL and all will be jolly again.
what's ur OS ? Can HTC sync read ur device ?
No HTC Sync doesn't recognize my phone

Thats the reason I want to use the 32A rom as it's newer then my current rom and so it *should* hopefully flash the phone including the spl and then I can change the radio back to that of a 32B device
also what do you mean about being able to change to an engineering spl in Eclair?
Also I've never been able to get HTC Sync to work ever =[ in both xp or vista, and never been able to get the drivers working properly however I am yet to try with Ubuntu

You should be able to get both fastboot and adb to recognise your phone although you won't be able to do anything. That sounds like a driver issue. If you go to the HTC website and download the latest drivers (pick the ones for the HTC branded magic) you should be ok. Try the link below.
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
As for flashing a 32a rom then changing the radio, good luck with that after already bricking one phone I haven't got the balls to try. If you do try and it works please post here exactly what you done as many people will thank you.
Lastly what I'm waiting for is a higher rom version which will probably be eclair (Android 2.0) which comes with a non-perfected SPL. Then the devs on here can get the relentless rooter to work on our phones.

u cant access it unless u enable USB debugging. If u cant pass activation, then ur screwed until u activate it with 3G
hacker1 suggested this:
Okay I post this as a private message because I don't know if I can post the links to the images on an official board.
There are basically 2 methods for flashing/rooting the 1.33.0007.
Method 1:
1.Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH
2. rename to sappimg.nbh and copy to sdcard
3. start magic with volume down+power
4. confirm with trackball
5. If everything works ok, follow 8. on method 2
If this fails with "Main version older" then copy sappimg.nbh to a goldcard and try again. (Some brands of SD-Cards are known to be incompatible with a goldcard, so you might need to try some different ones)
If it fails to flash with a goldcard you need method 2:
1. Download Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH (if you don't have it already)
2. Download 32A Image
3. rename 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and copy to goldcard
4. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
5. turn off phone
6. delete sappimg.zip from goldcard and copy the "Android 1.5 CRC24 NBH" as sappimg.nbh to sdcard
7. start magic with volume down+power and confirm flashing with trackball
8. after restarting you should now be at Android 1.5 CRC24, install flashrec.apk to phone, change recovery image, boot into recovery and flash engineering spl.
Hope this will help you.

Not yet and the fact that none of the senior members are bragging any where they can do it I think we are pretty much stuck. In fact no-one is talking about trying to hack this so I think it maybe in the too difficult bin! Time to save up and get a Nexus One

*IF* you load the 32A radio and SPL and ROM on your 32B, you may only succeed in bricking your phone.
They are different devices. You can try it if you like, but be ready to throw the phone away.

Okay my phones info is as follows:
UK Vodafone running Donut 1.6

Now is this or is this not a perfected SPL "1.33.0007" as I cant do jack with it nor can I get any computer to recognize it when it's in fastboot connected to a PC...*sigh* (although it will when it's turned on)
Now assuming the above is correct and it is a perfected spl will the below work:
Step 1
Flash the phone with the 32A ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) this being a higher rom version than my own from Amon_RA's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218)
Step 2
Change the radio (any recommendations?) back to that of a 32B HTC Magic device and install CyanogenMod using the info again from a different Amon_RA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1)
Step 3
Sit back and bathe in the glory of my finally rooted HTC Magic?
Thanks in advance for any and all help even if it's just a quick reply to tell me I'm off my trolley and it's a sure fire way to brick my phone

I do not know if this helps you guys.http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
All phones are diffrent I have perfect spl too and I manage to flash in fastboot.
I've found something which I think might help on a German android forum and it looks like the guy succeeded in doing something similar to what I posted originally in this thread from what I can gather from google translate
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-htc-magic/11285-flashen-mit-1-33-0007-spl.html
can anyone help me out and post a translation for me? (I mean someone who can give a translation not from a website unless it's blindingly better then google)
Current translation via google...
edit -
it should be called "flashed with SPL 1.33.0007"
--
Hello, nice forum you have here
I have the following problem:
Recently I wanted to flash my Vodafone Magic (Android 1.6 SPL 1.33.0007) with Cyanogenic Mod.
Since I have a "perfect" SPL, I've tried it with a gold card. Everything went well so far. Only apparently I had made a version for the 32A, then stood for in fastboot Ship S-OFF H and I could only make recovery for the HTC version of RA, rather than the Google version. I had taken here -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (SPL engineering had v1.33.2010) the rom but works as well and booted normally.
anyway I wanted to be the recovery of RA have wrote -> HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip CM 4.2.5 and later.
The flash itself went well, but I stayed in the HTC bootscreen Magic hang himself and it did nothing more.
In another forum I was told that what I have by gold card (power + vol down) flashed (the sappimg.zip) was just for the 32A, and it therefore did not go.
Jetz, I wanted to ask what am I then can take the 32B, then to flash it to the cyanogenic mod? Because irgednwie I'm a little confused at the 10,000 versions at XDA dev .....
I hope someone can help me there. I'm just glad that the phone because I did not have gebricked garkeine backup (duchzufall had found it here in the forum, the firmware vodafone stock and re-flashed)
thank you in advance
-edit -
ah, I'm stupid.
The stock firmware I had was re-flashed V1.5 .. have then by Flashrecovery the CMrecovery flashed and book now funzt everything.
no offense

So from what I can gather this guy succeded in rooting and flashing his HTC Magic 1.33.007???????????

sappimg.nbh

hi to all!
i have an HTC MAGIC VODAFONE (32B) with donut 1.6 + perfect spl.
ROM - Build CRC24
SPL - 1.33.0007 (perfect SPL)
please somebody give to me te sappimg for this device, i cannot root it without normal metod, i need to create a goldcard
Solution: Return the phone if you can. If not then sell it. Get rid of it. I had one and at the moment you can do NOTHING to it. Buy a cheap 32A model on eBay. I am buying a factory unlocked 288MB RAM 32A model for 239 GBP.
Look for the goldcard method... I'm not sure if will work on a 32B device but you can do a search for more info...
it is possible to change the 1.5 version to 1.6?
i mean, if i try to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5 it says "you cannot do this" so my idea is:
take cupcake rom, change version number from 1.5 to 1.6 and flash!
is this possible?
wow, erm, NO.
i solved this problem
I met exactly problem with you.
I solved it. now, my phone is spl2010 off, I can root it with any rom now!
There is no sappimg for G2 32B itself. you can just use the one for 32A.
Then rewrite radio,recovery, system, flash1, boot, through fastboot.
I love the please somebody give me... even if translated.
A simple search would have found your answer alot quicker then waiting in a forum for one. Look for Amon ras perfected SPL fix rom. make a goldcard, rename file to Sappimg.img and go through. but I doubt you have any idea what im talking about

Everything you need is right here!
This will take you to the Unlockr's site with every file and step-by-step instructions as to how to go through the gold card method. I can attest that it does work on 32B's. I went from 1.33.0007 to 1.33.2005 using his method. It took me awhile since I'm kind of a noob at this stuff but it worked great. Since then I've run CM 4.2.14.1, st0kes 2.1 v1.3.2, as well as Super D 1.9.2. Also was able to change the boot splash to a custom image by following those instructions and doing a little research too!
Hope this helps!

WOW I did it. Thank u so much and they say its not possible

PLEASE HELP! Questions before Rooting...THANKS!

First, I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.
I know this is the G1 area, but need help.
Well, I was looking at some tutorials from TheUnlockr.com and they seem pretty easy on a mytouch 3G. I have successfully installed Cupcake (1.5) on my phone.
But before I do the actual rooting, I wondered if anyone would be so nice to
guide me with installing [ROM] KiNgxKxROM Sense Hybrid Version 2.3 "Back to Work We Go" <11/9/09> - xda-developers onto my mytouch.
I don't know what to do, and I've tried reading the steps but I'm completely lost.
IDK if the steps are for G1 users or mytouch. I hear all these "spl"s and "radio"s and don't know what it is.
All I want is to install that ROM on my phone. the Unlockr says to download the ROM's .zip file and simply flash it, but idk if that's exactly what's required for the above ROM.
Anyone suggest other ROM that has the HERO Sense UI?
and what's a gold card? do I need that?
and I only have a 1GB MicroSD card...idk if that's relevant, thanks so much!
*facepalm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
well that link doesn't work.
All I'm basically asking is if I can just load the already downloaded "ROM" and simply dragging it to my SD card to be able to install....since it's for the G1 and idk if it's the same process as the mytouch.

I beg to differ. The link does work.
You should read about spls and radios before flashing roms. Anyway, good luck.
It should work in your case....and if it doesnt....no harm done.
So you're saying that I don't need spls?
You do need an spl.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
Yes, it does work. It's a link to a thread stickied in this forum. It's called ***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"
There is no point spoonfeeding you information because you don't *learn* and just end up following a bunch of steps without understanding what you're doing. This greatly increases your chance of doing something wrong just because someone tells you to, this can and does happen, usually unintentionally because a certain step worked for someone else but not for you because your phone can be different in a way you don't yet realise.
You haven't even told us what phone you have, let alone any technical information about it. So, go look into specific information about your handset. Learn about what SPL you have now, this will tell you if you need a goldcard or not (Magic) or whether you need to install the DangerSPL (G1) or not. SPL is very dependent on the radio installed, if you get the versions wrong you will brick your phone. Learn about recovery images and install one on the phone. Depending on ROM, you may have to partition your SD card, which you can do from recovery.
I hope that's enough of a good start for you. If not, I would suggest not taking the risk bricking your phone and just be happy with what you have.

Could you guide me through?
I'm new to this rooting stuff and when I was looking at theUnlockr videos the guy didn't mention anything about SPL, he simply said to drag the ROM into the SD card and then wipe, partition, and flash or something like that.
But since the rom im trying to install is for G1 and Mytouch I'm not sure if the same process is for both or just the G1.
Well, I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G with 1.5, IDK about the other stuff, but here's some info I found on my phone:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B
HBOOT-1.33.0006
RADIO 2.22.19.261
IDK, that's it.

You will need SPL's, a swap partition, etc. etc.
Seems like you only have the stock SD card.
Your device will not even be usable on a daily basis without at least a class 4 microSDHC
Go for a basic Eclair or Donut rom first before you do some serious damage to our phone.
And there literally is a MyTouch3g section... This is a G1 section.. if you're just getting started, you're better off over there.
Oooooooo
Can I run this on sapphire? When's the next update?
I can't even believe this thread is happening....
