hey guys i've been searching all over but i cant seem to get a direct answer. I am getting a HTC Magic from Canada with the 32A board, it'll most likeky be an unbranded phone probably running the HTC version of Cupcake. My question is this, i want to know if its possible to find a google based rom without root that can run on the 32A version of the magic as if its the vodafone or the tmobile version, the reason for this being the OTA updates from google. I want this phone to get the OTA as they are pushed out by google. So please no suggestions about the Amon Ra 1.6 or any cyanogen mods or any others. This is about the stock phone on stock firmware with a stock recovery image. I know those are stabe and faster than stock roms but i'm not into that for the time being.
Thanks in advance for all your help

sorry if I sound totally out and stupid, but are ota updates available for the Rogers HTC Magic? Or is this something that has yet to be made available up in Canada?
It's not stupid at all... I wander how to make my mobile OTA capable...
Does changing images makes OTA capable or OTA is clean googles cupcake OS?
I've been searching on xda and hofo, but haven't found any info on rogers updates.
I'd like to know if the rooted boot.img would prevent this update from installing. Can you change the title of this thread to something like "rogers ota updates"?

i am looking for this too. i have a rooted rogers rom running on my HTC Magic. wondering if i can get it updated.
There is a manual download link for it on phandroid. and there is 2 flavours. US and UK. Which one should i take if i can update it that way. I am in Malaysia btw.
anyone? i really want to know if the update will work..
Im intersted as well, Im going to be purchasing a magic as soon as i get some questions answered. I want as full of a google experience as possible, so I would like the OTA updates, and I would like to be able to run the hero rom, which is why I would need the "rogers" magic.
No you wont be getting OTA updates from Rogers. They do not support there phone OS's just hardware, you'll have to email HTC for any updates. I had to go to Sony and Nokia for my last phones, said the same thing this time.
By the way the last OTA updates were security updates, I've read that it has caused problems for Rooted phones.

I've rooted and flashed the rom on my phone.
I don't think I will receive any OTA updates because of this but even if I do I will decline to download it.
The roms being cooked on here will be better then any single update i'm asked to download.
I mean the devs are already ripping apart the Donut development code as we speak!!
You will not be recieving OTA updates on the rogers branded magic because it is not a google experience phone (it does not have the with google logo on the back). In your case you will have to decide which you need more, the sense ui, or ota updates. Remember, "with google" phones will most likely not be getting the sense update officially.

Also have to remember that any of the "with Google" phones have 192MB of RAM where the Rogers has 288MB of RAM. Which alows running the Sense UI properly.

Ok. So OTA wont come to me.
But if i use the update link manually, will it make my phone go haywire?
will i lose root access?
I am also looking for this solution for OTA updates
When Rogers started blocking people from the network, I switched to CursorSense.
Can I try other roms yet? Will I get blocked again? What's the current state of things?
just sign the HTC waiver at www.rogers.com/htcwaiver and you are good to go,no need to stay on cursor, no need to update to rogers rom and no more rogers cutting your data
flash away my friend.. flash away..
oh btw waiver takes up to 24 hours to get into the system..
Hey that's pretty cool! Now how do I downgrade after updating using their stupid utility>?
if you updated to their newest rom you are outta luck. the rom has a perfected spl which is not rootable yet. hopefully when the official 2.1 roms come out that will change

Hello!
I am considering rooting my beloved Legend, however i have a few questions before i start.
I´ve read that i can´t apply my own custom recovery, so how do the recovery work then?
After i´ve rooted the phone and installed a new ROM, can i just run the official update from HTC when they release Froyo for us, and have their update on it?
And the last question, in MoDaCos guide to root, it says the HBOOT should be of version 0.43 or below, mine´s 0.43.0001 - is this the same as 0.43?
Regards, patrick
>I´ve read that i can´t apply my own custom recovery, so how do the recovery work then?
Don't know how recovery works on other phones, but the ROMmanager app works as expected.
>After i´ve rooted the phone and installed a new ROM, can i just run the official update from HTC when they release Froyo for us, and have their update on it?
don't know. Mine offered me an OTA right after rooting (which also required a downgrade), but I didn't take it since I wasn't sure if it would break anything.
Custom ROMs that just take the official OTA and add root should be out quite soon after the official release though.
>And the last question, in MoDaCos guide to root, it says the HBOOT should be of version 0.43 or below, mine´s 0.43.0001 - is this the same as 0.43?
Same hboot here, worked just fine. I think some other guide actually stated version 0.43.xxx or below, so it seems the 0001 doesn't matter.

Hello,just wait or try to find the latest rom on the forum ...
You will not receive the OTA udate on a rooted handset. You will either have to unroot and wait for the 3 software release or download the stock 2.3 rom and install.
can i not just unroot some how and leave it on the stock unbranded to be able to recieve the ota update?

I have my phone rooted and i receive the OTA update saturday ...
I have just re installed visionary to attempt to unroot my dhd - but it says my device does not appear to be rooted!?!!
maybe i should just install the RUU
does anybody have the link?
cheers
You should instal 1.32 ruu exe then do temp root through visionary. Open the radio s-off tool which you can find somewhere on the forum and you need to do stock cid which is HTC_001 and you'll receive update
Forgot to add that I have a three branded dhd but now it's unbranded
1.32 can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
radio s-off here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
and you'll receive update
legend!! cheers mate, its now found the update...
now just hope the install doesnt crash or anything
if you have original recovery and you didn't uninstall any system apps you'll be fine
Gday guys,
Been lurking the forums for quite some time and played with many different roms since I got hold of a Vodafone AU Magic [32B] almost 2 years ago.
Running CM6.1 at the moment - but have found it to be increasingly unstable - random reboots and so on, looking to roll back to CM6.0, but thought I would roll the phone back to stock seeing that VFAU has since pushed out OTA updates for 2.2.
I know the original 1.5 and 1.6 VFAU roms are easily found, but what is the process to unroot, roll back and ensure OTA will work so I can update to 2.2?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Even a nandroid backup of 2.2 would be much appreciated.
Hi,
did you get anywhere with this as I'm also looking to go to a stock Vodafone UK rom to sell my phone
Thanks
