when i tried "fastboot boot recovery-new.img" the cmd said
"downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY"
after that the device's screen change from bootloader screen to "hami" screen (with something orange apple icon) and stuck there. T_T (wanna cryy..)
any one have solution for this? thank you very much in advance

Same here
Exactly the save versions as yours.
I got one from Vodacom in South Africa yesterday, and none of the rooting guides seem to work. I'm really only interested in "tethering" with my phone, as I'm often on the road with my laptop and haven't had a need to buy a second modem just yet. Was hoping I could use the Magic in the same way I used my Nokia.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried PDANet yet?

I had same problem , how i solve is to download the recovery.img and the update.zip from the following , you cannot use standard version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523913
you must ensure that you use update.zip from here else after the update you won't be able to start up.
first do download both
daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip and daldroid-recovery.img
and copy both to the sdcard follow same step
rename daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip to update.zip
restart in fast boot mode , and run command.
fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img
hope this help.

Your HTC Magic is different than the HTC Magic from Vodafone.
HTC Magic from Rogers US, TIM Italy, 3 Scandinavia, Vodacom South Africa and more are the original HTC Magics from HTC - they have different SPL, Kernel.
So you can only root through the metod as stated above - Daldroid made it possible.
For the time beeing you can´t flash other roms than Daldroid´s with root, without trouble.

Incidentally, it seems that the Rogers Magic is quite a bit similar to this one...
The Rogers HTC Magic reports the following on the fastboot screen:

Not sure if daldroid's method will work on the rogers one.... there is a bit of a difference in the model number.

A rogers user reported success flashing his ROM.
go to the latest (as of current time) posts on the thread.
One user reported he successfully flashed a rom, but he had to change the SPL. As Rogers stock SPL and radio are newer than the flashed one, furthermore no spl image is available to restore the original, I suggest to follow the thread and verify the progress with a second user I asked to make some test.
I don't have Rogers myself, cannot test it for you.

Can anybody help ive followed all the magic rooting tutorials but when i enter fastboot boot recovery-new.img into terminal i get the following message "cannot load boot-new.img" i have all the drivers installed and have followed the wiki exact plus ive read every page of the rooting thread in the development page and searched the rest of this forum i have a uk vodaphone magic, cheers inadvanced

Alright, so here's what I've done so far.
-Grabbed Daldroid's "daldroid-recovery.img" and the signed rom, which was renamed to "update.zip".
-Copied both onto my SD card.
-Fastbooted my Rogers Magic using "fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img"
-Performed a Nandroid backup
-Wiped the data
-Applied the "update.zip"
-Rebooted
I got the Rogers screen, then the HTC Magic screen, then the HTC chiming screen where it made me wait for a bit. Buttons flashed and voila, I am booted into a different rom (no Rogers crap).
I confirmed that after flashing, my device info still says HBOOT-1.33.0009. At no point did I attempt to flash Haykuro's SPL or change the radio, as it's still 3.22.20.17.
I think I'm doing things right, so hopefully this info helps
Edit: Tried flashing QTeknology's Optimized Hero Rom, and it hung on the Rogers screen for a long time (waited at least 5 min), but was able to revert to the Daldroid rom.
Edit2: It's the same situation for other roms, like nk02's ported Rogers rom. It looks like .0009 is a no-go.

Vodafone HTC Magic (NZ) - request for stock ROM?

Hi guys,
New here, and have come for a bit of help. I'm trying to track down a stock ROM for branded Vodafone New Zealand Magic as my original backup before I started tinkering with Hero ROMs etc got corrupted. Anyone know where I could find this or have a rom dump please?

(Crappy old SDcard became corrupted when I tried to backup the backup to PC! The backup is corrupted and will not load).
I've searched exhaustively, plenty of ROMs around but a stock one for New Zealand eludes me. I've pestered HTC but they have none suitable and say a update ROM is a long way off for NZ.
Is there a good list of ROMs somewhere that I'm missing or Does anyone have a stock dump they'd care to share?
(I'll probably keep playing with hero and other modded ROMs for now. on a tangent I find many will not boot on this particular phone, even with great care in wiping everything first. I have seen other users with this exact NZ phone type have trouble with many rooted roms not booting. would be nice to a have a stock rom back!)
any helpgreatly appreciated

I've not had any trouble with booting ROMs on my Voda NZ Magic. I don't have a stock ROM, but I might be able to make one as I'm running stock Cupcake on mine at the moment. I'll need to look into exactly how to do it though.
I'd suggest working through my guide, as it's essentially the exact procedure I used to install Hero on my Voda NZ Magic.

I have a Nandriod backup of a friends phone (Vodafone NZ)...
Can anyone confirm if it's safe to give out a Nandroid Backup? I assume it is... just want to be cautious..

it depends on when you or your friend create the Nandriod, it is contains any login info like google username and password. Also I am not sure Nandroid backup can be flashed to a different phone.

In theory, a nandroid backup of a phone that's had the data wiped is safe to distribute. Whether or not it'll restore to another phone, I'm not sure. I only have the one phone here to test with

hi thanks karrdenz,
I've already got a couple of hero roms working well on the phone using your method - one of the better guides around. A few htc magic rooted roms don't seem to boot, like the dalroid one.
Well I plan to blow away hero off my magic so i'm keen to be guinea pig if anyone has a nanroid of the NZ rom.

anyone wanna help with rooting?

I have tried numerous methods and I still haven't achieved root access. Tried making a gold card ect. Searched for hours through the perfect spl thread and was on a computer for 6 hours last night trying to root this any one have a clue. Im using a mytouch 3g no jack original version this is what im running: some how by following a tutorial I ended up with this. I have swype and even the updated music player. I just need to know what files to download. I hereto ferrying main version is older. Thanks in advance. Blamewes

First of all if you follow all the instructions you shouldn't have any difficulty.
Secondly, you posted in the wrong section. I'll move to General but next time I'll close your thread.
Third, I took the honors of removing post #2 and used the EDIT button to modify your original post. You should also consider editing your original post before posting one to correct it for future reference.

my fault thanks for answering my question. The reason I couldn't edit my post is cause I'm doing this off my phone.

Really? Hmm. I can edit mine through my phone just fine.

NEWB.........

Lol some mods just cant drop it. And for your info i followed the instructions to a t and still no root. I was simply asking for help not to get griped at. If you read my post completely you would have noticed i clearly said I had tried numerous times. And opera mini in mobile mode didn't let me edit my post.

Bump any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Could be the wrong SappIMG file?
Who knows. You have a perfected spl so it's hard to say.
What works fine for some MyTouch phones may not work for others.
Since we don't know what instructions you have used and what methods you have used it's impossible for us to tell you what you're doing wrong.
It's not that we don't want to help, because we do, it's just very difficult to do so when we know nothing about what you have done so far to do it yourself.
So far the only thing that you said was you followed 'THE' instructions (which ones... we don't know) and failed with a MyTouch device with these specifications:

That's all you've given us. Don't get upset at me (the "Power Trip Moderator") or the rest of the community because we haven't given you an answer to your question.
The more you break rules 2 and 3 the less likely you will receive the assistance that you are so desperate to receive.

His username is psycodrumfreak and he has successfully rooted his device (at least at one point since he decided to Un-Root) so it seems to be possible.
I had sent him a private message to assist you.
Please show more patience with him than you did in this thread and treat him with the utmost respect whether he can/does help you or not.
Spent a whole five minutes searching.

Lets see what happens thanks

upgrade from an unknown software version..[mytouch3g tmobile]

Hi all, I am helping my friend upgrade her mytouch 3g to froyo after reading the guide listed on this page. However, I am extremely confused by what version of android she has in her phone.
The baseband is listed is 62.50sc.20.17u-2.22.23.02
kernel is at 2.6.29-g023e5c9
build number at 2.10.531.4.
Is this DR92 supposed to be? I searched all over the internet and can't figure out what these information match to. I think it should be before DMD64 but when i tried applying the DR92 to DMD64 update. It says siganiture failure too. So this means it's even before DR92. But it is 1.6 firmware as reported in the system..
Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Turn the phone off, and then turn on by holding Volume down key and power and then write here what are phone specs

Thanks for the help! Though I am surprised to see it's 32A. shouldn't all tmobile products be 32B?

not necessarily if its the black mytouch then its a 32A idk y lol i have white one n its a 32B (this is just my opinion )

Well they imported google branded htc magics both 32a and 32b, so i dont know if you can do OTA update,but you can root phone and install rooted OTA with cm ported kernel for 32a

Is rooting the only way available? Since it's not my phone, I don't really want messing it up.. thanks.

As i said idk, I think it is because Tmobile only did update 32b magic and dream. You can mess up the phone cuz you just cant if you do all things right.
go to www.theunlockr.com adn find in how to's section phone and you have 1 click root.then install recovery and after that install ROM. If you do have probs PM me.

How to root htc magic 32a (saudi arabia stc), newbie to rooting

Hey guys,
I know this question may have been answered a million times but most of the tutorials deal with htc magic that is in either Canada or US and I was reading that if done incorrectly, I pose the risk of bricking my device which is something I do not really wish to do. I am also new to rooting since I have not done anything of the sort so I don't know if rooting steps differ from the telecom company of htc magic you got it from so please bare with me.
I got my HTC Magic from Saudi Arabia under Saudi Telecom (STC) and I have checked the type that I have and it is:

What is PVT 321? :O
I've heard only of 32A/B until now..but otherwise it seems to be 32A (according to CyanogenMod Wiki), at least the other details are what I had - and Saudi Telecom Magics should all be 32A.
I followed this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(3.22.x_radio)
There are some others, of course, but this for sure works!

Thanks for the quick reply kanttii and yes PVT is 32A not 321, I mistyped it. Anyways I was reading it and it seems fairly simple but after I do the steps there, can I then choose what ROM I want to flash my phone with? Or does cyanogenmod already has its own ROM? I know I may be asking such a dumb question but I am really clueless when it comes to this. Thank you so much for the help!

hmm go to this post of mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379732
it deals with the problem which arise if you mess up your flashing etc.
just so you know, goldcard method will not work, as i have tried many different cards.
