32a or 32b - possibilities - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Is it possible to flash the version from 32a to 32b? I 'thought' mine was a 32a, but it shows up as 32b after I 'played' with the ROMs and rooted the device.
I have a 3.5mm version and from what I read, it's supposed to be a 32a

dud if you have a 3.5mm jack on top.. then u have a 32a ...but when you rooted you flashed a sappimg for a 32b.. thats why your phone says 32b now... you have to flash back the stock radio and hboot... along with a rooted recovery.... the instructions jeffakajeff referd you to will tell you how to do that.. after this the phone will display the proper info.. will show 32a

32a on 32b?

Do roms designed for 32a work on 32b phones? I'm assuming no, or there would be no reason to label them 32a...
???
i am also curious about this. based on what it says here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
it shows that it works. so basically what we did was flash a 32a sappimg.zip to the MT3G and then can over write it with any 32a ROM, at least any rom that I've tried so far (cyanogenmod 3.9.9.1 & RAv1.1.0H)
A 32a ROM will not boot on a 32b phone and vice versa. When the MT3G is rooted the radio is flashed to a 32a radio which will allow you to boot 32a roms. 32a rogers owners can also flash a 32b radio and we can boot 32B ROMs. The 2nd step in the mt3g rooting procedure is to flash the radio back to 32B., meaning it can only boot 32B ROMs.
Now, there is no reason why someone with a 32b phone should want a 32A ROM. The kernel source for the 32A has not been released (illegally, mind you) which means that the 32A roms are limited to non-kernel based modifcations (ie. No netfilter/iptables for tethering, custom fixes, etc). Cyanogen’s 32B/Dream ROM uses a custom kernel that has extra features over the 32A version of the same ROM. In order to boot a 32B rom on a 32A phone the kernel has to be swapped, therefore losing all of the kernel features.
If you have a 32B phone you are gaining nothing by running a 32A ROM. The 32B ones are much more customized.
I am not sure if this made sense…sorry if I am confusing.

It's open source it has to be released that's what the Linux kernel ( Android) is all about.

Under the GPL license a company has to make the source code available upon request (which HTC has not done). Its too bad Google doesn't go after them.
Someone with law experience can probably comment further.

is there any recovery image that i can flash to a 32b board that will run fine with the 32a radio? without flashing back to the google branded radio?

Yes, you're right. I've flashed the Danger SPL for G1 :d what i have to do now? can you recommend me the right spl for my uk vodafone magic 32b?
I've flashed this one because I tried the espresso ROM... but changed back either to cm_4.1.13 and/or RA_1.6.3 donut.

-Flash SPL
-Prompt when ask for restart
-Wait 5 min,
-Take the battery go again to recovery,
-Wipe again
-Create partitions and flash super D, probably the best ROM for Magic 32 b

... I thought it was usually bad to have a 3.x radio on a 32B.
Can you still fastboot?
(It's possible he could have clearly flashed the wrong SPL on it)

Yes, I can use fastboot and flashed recovery
I don't know why our dev doesn't post SPL with radio, as I know each SPL come with a radio, if you use fastboot flash correct a pair without reboot between flash them, your device never bricked
i thought it was currently not possible to root the.010 perfected spl
be it 1.76.0010 or 1.33.0010
how did you do it
i have a new g1 that has 0010 and would like to root it
You must have a goldcard and you will be able to upgrade to any nbh file for G1. (I have a devphone nbh, I will find it and share)
excellent, thank you
please advise when you have found it
in the magic forum there is a post making a gold card
can i follow those instructions?

DO NOT USE ehb224 post. It is for Magics 32A
32B users must use CyanogenWiki manual
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Note: in cyanogenwiki used cyanogen recovery, but all can use AMon_RA recovery or Clockworks recovery
Another thing: After getting recovery all can flash other 32B ROMs, not only CyanogenMod

According to the info in the thread (and Amon_RA) it is for either 32A or 32B boards.
If you read through the thread it does say that a 32B board does need to have a 32B radio flashed after.
