Thanks.. I didnt know this.
Btw.. i downloaded now this rom: RA-IONv1.6.2G and i will try it tommorow.

@deejayviral and others,
You will have to read the wiki and then go to General or Q and A sections when you get stuck.
There is no simple or short answer.
Please read the sticky threads.

It's my understanding that you must first downgrade to firmware 1.5 to root. Maybe that's just for the so called "one click" root process??...

root via my software its straight forward my friend even idiots can do it

Newbie Help with upgrading firmware on Rodgers Magic

I'm new to the android platform and i'm getting a bit confused on the process required to upgrade the firmware on my htc magic (rodgers). I've been surfing the links and i think i'm missing a step in the process.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with the steps required in order to perform the upgrade...here is the information on my phone and thank you...hadooj
HTC Magic Information
Rodgers 32A Version..
RAv1.0H
IMEI: 352949030023222
S/N: HT95MNK00771
P/N: 99HJL002-00
** because i have the 32A version, can you also confirm that I am supposed to use the 'H' image and not the 'G' image....thanks

I have the same phone, took me two weeks of reading before i flashed. I suggest you start reading every thread in the development section. Also google the unlockr.com and look at their one click roots. Good luck

rogers HTC MAGIC

Hello Everyone,
This is my first Driod device. I used to use a BB but my friend gave me an HTC Rogers magic and I figured I would give it a try. It does NOT have the 911 patch installed. I may by the Samsung Captive S when it comes out to Rogers and I figured I would try Andriod with this phone first. I have a couple of questions:
- When i try installing the 911 patch my phone disconnects from HTC sync for some reason. HTC sync finds the phone prior to the patch install but when i try installing the patch it give me an error msg asking me to check my usb cable. Any thoughts why? I am running windows 7 64bit.
-How hard is it to root the HTC Magic? I am not that good with programming code or anything like that. I was told i should upgrade to 2.1 but i need to root it first.
-any other helpful links or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry i just wanted to add that my friend told me i may need to sign the Rogers HTC magic wavier before i root my phone or they will cut off my data. Anyone know if this is true.
Thanks

easy root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756942
10 min max and no need of code experience
Give it a try :0)

Not sure about the waiver but I would definitely load a different ROM than what Rogers ships by default.
On my Rogers Magic I've just loaded the Froyo Redux 1.7 mod which is based on CyanogenMOD 6.0 RC3. Works like a champ!
I recommend that you spend some time reading these forums a bit before jumping in. your patience will be rewarded!
Many rogers magic users have been through this before so its likely any question you have has already been answered.
good luck!

Proper Magic ROM

I want to flash my Magic with an original Vodafone ROM as the one i am running is so slow and need to get it back to working quick again.
The only problem i have is i can't find a stock ROM for a Voda branded handset.
Anyone know where i can download one from?
Thanks

I just got my magic i bought from some auction here and thatt a-hole forgot to mention it was a vodaphone...
So when i was trying to download the new roms from HTC's website it said it didn't apply to my serial nr i entered....
So how do i upgrade from this v. 1.6 and get rid of the crappy vodaphone thats infested my phone?
Regarding this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 is this where i go to get the android update? how do i know if i have the 32b version....
What I want is to get rid of the vodaphone crapware and update android + that sense UI would be the icing on the cake...

If you want to know what magic do you have you must power of your phone and then VolDown + Power its a fast boot and there you have all info and post it here some1 or me will info you what to do

http : // forum.xda-developers.com / showthread.php?t=538979
have the latest information and links to download Office ROMs for your phone.
I hope this covers your question. All I did was went in to Android Development forum under
* HomeArrow > * HTC Sapphire: myTouch 3G, Magic > * myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development >

I am sorry for posting in this thread but I think the OP had the right idea... The shere volume of information is overwhelming and being a complete NEWB when it comes to androids.
I just bought mine and the moron i bought it from didn't bother mentioning it was a vodaphone so now I have to make the best of it...
jumping on this android phone is like starting to watch a movie in the middle... it's real hard to get a grasp of things at first.

OK, i think i have broken my magic now.
I used Amon Ra's clean Donut ROM and installed as i have done in the past with others, but now when i reboot the phone after the ROM install it just sits at the Vodafone splash screen and thats it. I checked all my phone settings before running this and everything matched up fine.
I will post my settings when i get home, it will help anyone that is kind enough to help me out.
Incidently if i pull the battery and then put it back in, i can still get to the fast boot screen and i can still invoke the recovery ROM screen to allow me to flash a ROM, so it's not bricked, just don't know whats going on.

More than likely the ROM you flashed isn't right for your phone so you get the endless boot.

[Q] no radio version showing up

I first want to say thank you to xda-developers for such a great site. I have been on here reading for 2 weeks now and decided I finally need help. I recently bought me an HTC HD2 Euro version (all white home keys). I proceeded to set it up to dual boot Windows 7.5 and ICS. I was successful thanks to everything I read here and watched on "Youtube".
Well, I was partially successful that is. I have had 4 different WP7 roms and one ICS/sd rom.
All the WP7 roms installed with no hitches as did the ICS and all opened up successfully.
Here is where I need some help with all 4 WP7 roms I get no T-mobile data and no mms messages. I really need my data to work. I get everything except "mms" to work with wifi; IE, xbox live, and the market.
I currently have WP7 rom "HD2O_2.02_8779" installed.
Phone Info:
Name: HTC HD7 T9292
Model: HTC HD7 T9292
Software: Windows*Phone 7.5
Total Storage: 7.20 GB
Available storage: 6.88
OS version: 7.10.8779.8
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.07491.HD2O
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version number:5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0
Bootloader version: 0.96.2250.0
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
When I setup "CustomRUU" to check the radio version and maybe flash a different radio, no current radio shows up. So my first question is,
Is it possible to not have a radio installed at all?
And if this is true is that why I can't get my data to work?
I have reset my phone.
I have turned my data off and on.
I have used "Connection Setup" at least 3 times on just this rom.
I have used wifi.
I currently do not have an ICS rom on my data card because I want to wait until I get WP7 working properly first. I already fried one 16GB class 10 sd card that is why I am using an 8GB sd card now. So if anyone can help answer my questions I would so grateful. Thanks in advance.

Did you download connection setup from the market or using the preloaded one?
Did you try manual selection in connection setup?
Do you have data connection on in settings?
Try manually selecting Network in.settngs.
Soft Radio for TMOUS is 5.51T.09.29a.22.32.50.10U...that is what I have on my phone running BTTF. The 5.51T is for the U.S. You didn't specify what region you reside so I'm assuming U.S. based on your English or maybe British.
Hardware radio is A.12.0.D4 which is 2.15.xx.xx version in my signature.
Anyway, you should see a hardware radio version. Otherwise, you should flash the appropriate hardware radio.
There are threads telling how to rescue locked sd cards.

still no data, no radio showing up
1. I used the preloaded connection setup.
2. Yes, I did the manual selection.
3. Yes, as I stated I have turned data on and off trying to get it to work.
4. Yes, I manually selected T-mobile in "Cellular"
Well I want to make sure I choose the correct radio for an HTC HD2, the europe model not the T-mobile model with red and green buttons. Mine has white buttons.
I also have the radio set to -region: North America.
and yes I am in the US in Florida using T-mobile as my service provider

I suggest you post your question in HD2O's rom thread and specify which country you're located and the fact you are using the European model. People using the rom should be able to give more help.

still no data, no radio showing up in CustumRUU.exe
Well I would put this in the phone development section but it says all questions belong here in the Q&A section, so i don't want to ruffle feathers and get flamed for not following the rules so I'll just leave it here for now. Maybe a mod could move it if he thinks it belongs there. I am going to wait until morning to continue working on this problem, I'm too tired to anything now. Don't want to make a sleepy mistake and brick my phone. Thanks.

well your question is specific to a rom and people post questions in development all the time...esp specifically related to a particular rom.

no radio showing up, low sound
Well I finally made it back a couple hours ago and I have been reading ever since. I tried to post this in the rom section but because I don't have 10 posts I can't and no one else has responded.
Since I left early in the morning (about 3am) I tried my phone and found I have almost no sound coming from it. It could be the radio but I also have read many of these roms have sound volume problems and they have a fix for it. I think I am going to try flashing a radio and see what happens. What ever I do I will post back here.

I just installed 2 different radios and nothing shows up in the settings phone radio section. It still has 0.0.0.0 for a radio. Think I'm going to install a different rom and see what happens.

I installed a new rom hoping this would help my data and radio problems.

data works with ICS on sd card
I decided to go ahead and install an ICS rom on an sd card and see if I get data and mms messages with it. I decided to use "NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA-SD_v2.3" and within a few minutes it was up and running. To my happiness all my data works including mms messages. In fact I did not find anything that did not work, even live wallpapers and this is on an sd card. Another great job by the members here at xda-developers.

Back to facory Windows Mobile 6.5 rom
Still trying to get this phone to work with Windows Phone 7. I tried going the task 29 route and then installing Windows 7 rom but that did not help to get any data on my phone from T-mobile in the USA so I went and studied how to take it all the way back to a stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom and was successful. I have data on the phone but I can't get mms messages to work on it, but that is still better than what I have been able to do with WP7.
I got the rom right from HTC.com "RUU_Leo_S_TMO_HR_3.14.119.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship". Notice that it has the same radio 2.15.50.14 as what most people recommend to use with WM7 roms. I used this Video on youtube for directions
"How to Turn your HTC HD2 back to Factory"
I have not given up on this and will continue tomorrow.

HTC HD2 Leo stock 6.5 rom, not HTC Hd2 Tmous
First I want to thank for being the only one responding to my thread and posts as I have posted in another thread too. I am sincere when I say that. I really liked what you said in the thread you sent me to, that you would explain how to do something unlike others here. That means a lot to people who are asking for help.
I think there are too many people in forums who forget what it feels like to be a noob at anything. I am a member at many forums going way back to modding Motorola Razors, flashing Dishnet boxes before they locked us out, fixing red ring of death Xboxes and so on. So sir, I really do appreciate those who are here to help not just flame those asking for help.
Now back to the topic. I used that rom from HTC.com/europe because I have an HTC HD2 euro version not the HTC Tmous phone. Mine has the all white buttons and I wasn't sure if I could flash the T-mobile Windows Mobile 6.5 stock rom. As this phone is only 3-4 weeks old I am trying hard not to brick it. That is why I have spent 12 hrs a day for the past 3-4 days doing nothing but reading this site.
here is the link to the stock Window Mobile 6.5 rom for the Europe version.
http://www.htc.com/europe/help/htc-hd2/#download
If you know whether I can use the T-mobile stock rom in my HTC HD2 Leo then maybe I will try it. I am also going to try the unbranded stock rom from the same link as they have one for both T-mobile and not T-mobile if that makes sense to you. Trying not to be confusing.

if you read that radio thread, they say it can be used on the European hd2. and yes, i know you have the european hd2.

finally got mms messages with stock WM 6.5
For my latest trial I downloaded and installed the WWE (World Wide English) stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom that HTC.com/europe has. Here is the name of the second rom.
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Here is the name of the 1st stock rom that I tried and mms messages never worked. The first set of numbers are different. Not sure what they stand for.
RUU_Leo_S_TMO_HR_3.14.119.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Here is the link if anyone needs it.
http://www.htc.com/europe/help/htc-hd2/#download
This is the first rom I have installed that gives me data and mms messages. So now I know that this hardware radio works with t-mobile USA network (in Miami). I just need to find the correct software radio for Windows Phone 7 and I will be as happy as can be. I might even try T-mobiles stock rom today also.

still testing with mixed results.
I am back on Windows 7.5 now using pdaimatejam rom. I replaced his original software radio with 5.51t.09.29a_22.32.50.10u and also with 5.51.09.11a_22.31.40.09u. I got excited because these both gave me data but after a few minutes my data quit working. Neither allowed me to send or receive mms messages. I am still testing and will give any updates or results I come up with. What is odd is I am using the same Hardware radio 2.15.50.14 that is in the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom that let me have data and mms messages.

Just a quick update, I tried the Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable] rom and did not have any better luck. Still same 0.0.0.0 radio and no data or mms. I did have some fun installing the rom. Learned a lot about installing cabs and such. I usually get an error when I install the HTC connection app but not with this rom. I don't think the app is helping do anything from what I can tell. Going to try adifferent rom tomorrow to see if I have any better luck.

tried another rom, same results
I flashed this rom yesterday.
RUU_LEO_HTC_Europe_5.12.401.01_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_NT_Tango_8773_3La_V3_by_ansar
I still get the 0.0.0.0 radio and no data or mms. I also flashed a couple different hardware radios after I installed the rom, but still got the same results. I think I am going to change the software radio in the rom and then flash it again and see if it makes a difference.
