Help Rooting Please. Money for help!

Need help rooting phone. 32b htc magic developers conference. Can anyone guide me over the phone? I will happily mail or paypal 10.00 for your trouble. I've installed the sdk and drivers, just need to move forward. I am a total PC noob and just need help with command lines on XP. Or if I can do it on a mac, that would be cool.
Thanks,
gary

Did you know you can flash to a different Rom without being root ... I would recommend flashing to the CyanogenMod port to the 32B magic, this will give you new features including root access and is probably safer than trying to obtain root on the stock firmware. Check the link in the bottom of my sig to see the process you would need to follow.
Also in case you did want to have a go yourself the rooting process is well documented -

Turn off the phone. When it has powered down hold Back and turn it back on. Keep holding back until a page with skating androids is displayed. The top line ( i think) should tell you.

HELP - New ROM on HTC Magic

Hello All,
I have had my HTC magic now for 3 days and loving it. However, reading around it seems to be best to leave the factory ROM and use a different one.
I am considering the CyanogenMod.
Firstly, could someone tell me if this ROM is compatible with my phone (current details of the phone are below)
Secondly, could someone advise on how I do it safely (in n00b terms) and what tools I will need on my Laptop to do it.
Current Firmware: Android 1.5
Build Number: CRC24
Phone: HTC Magic
Provider: Vodafone
Thanks in advance

I should add its the "With Google" model if that makes any difference.

Try reding "unlockr" page for my touch 3G or Saphire which is same a Magic by vodafone. 32B Chip.
Tool you will need is called Android SDK latest.
Also you will need to make sure that your Wnidows OS finds the phone and installs correct drivers. That should be done before anything else.
Once understood you will root and flash your magic in less than 10 mins!

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

here are the guides already posted on xda
XDA Sapphire Hacking Wiki now available

talks about how to find what type of phone you have and what you need to jog down.
[ROM] Official HTC Sapphire/Magic/MT3G RUU ROM Links
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.

Installing a new stock rom

Hello every one,
(I did searched through the forms before posting this topic but did not found what I am looking for)
Like most of the Wildfire owners I was eagerly awaiting the release of AlpharevX beta, so I could I finally turn the S-OFF and take control of my device. BUT it seems that the beta version of RevX does not cater to hboot version 1.01.0002 variant. Bummer
After visiting the IRC channel of #alpharevx, I had an impression that there are several variants of the 1.01.0002 hboot, plus the one installed on my device could belong to Asia region. Inside the chat room IEF stated that there is no chance for Asia region support as well. So the only choice I am left with is to get S-OFF via XTC clip, unfortunately so far my search to find one in my city seems fruitless. It is quite expensive and I am just not ready to buy one. The only option left to me is to rid of my wildfire
But I was wondering if there is a way I can replace the stock rom on my device with that from Europe region. As per my understanding one needs to have a gold card to flash the device. I was able to create a goldcard via unlocker website, but now what. I am not sure which rom to choose or how to proceed any further. I did searched the XDA forums but few guides suggested you need a rooted device while other stated some thing different. I need your expert advise if there is a possibility for me to replace the stock rom on my device, thus enabling me to use AlpharevX.
The details of my device are listed below:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
kernel version: g44d8ec5
[email protected]#1
Wed Dec 8 CST 2010
Build number: 2.37.466.1 CL319429 release-keys
Software number: 2.37.466.1
Also I am attaching the screen shot of the issue I am facing with AlpharevX, there are quite a lot of people with the same issue.
One thing more my device is not locked to any particular carrier or carries its logo, but it does seem to have a middle eastern language support i.e. Arabic and Farsi in it.
Last but not least I would like to thank AlpharevX team, although it did not work for me but they did a great job. Thank you.
I would also like to thank 3xeno for all the help so far.

[Q] Help before proceeding.

I have never touched a windows phone before but have exp. with Installing unsigned code and ROMS (xbox/360,androids)
With that being said I just received a Windows HTC T8788 from a buddy last night. I have read so many tuts. and info that I have 15 tabs from being sent from one to the other and back again. Here is what I have gathered.
Model:T8788
Carrier:AT&T
Software: Windows 7.5
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Revsion:003
Radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21H
Bootloader version:4.5.2250.0(129685)
Here's the question that sends me in circles and its not the procedure or directions, its which path do I take that is not clear to me to get RSPL/HSPL.
Now for the procedure and Hacks I would like to get but keep finding myself jumping from old to new material.
1) Download WP7F3 and check Bootloader. SPL needs to be 1.5.xx or
lower because DFT program doesn't support the SPL 4.5.xxxx bootloader I
have.
2) So that tells me that a downgrade is needed so that I can RSPL/HSPL then I
can Install Ansars New 8773 ROMs. This is were I get messed up!!!
I found that is has to be a stock provider ROM build;NoDo that has SPL 1.5
Which I found here in this form in FOOTBALLS post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427902
I have also read some were that My version was not able to downgrade
unless i use The goldcard procedure.
I missed a lot of info above but just wanted to clarify were I was
I have no backups of old OS from Zune, Nothing at all. The process to do this is pretty easy just just need someone with windows handset exp. before I take the leap without confirming proper order and software versions.
Sorry If someone take me to the direct link that I couldn't find

So thats it, nobody will even flame me and tell me to to keep reseaching.
Am I missing something. This is Q&A thread for HTC T8788 Sound right?

I wish someone had answer this... Did you have any luck on your own?
