Hi!
I am new to this list but I got an unlocked HTC Magic and saw that there is a superHERO ROM for it. I downloaded the ROM which seems to be a a zip archive (see http://androidcommunity.com/htc-sense-superhero-rom-gets-video-demo-20090630/).
So, I am looking for some instruction on how to flash my HTC Magic with this new ROM. Can anyone help or point to a source that would describe the procedure...
Thanks a lot in advance,

This is the best walkthrough and the one I used on my first time:
http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/
Just substitute the Fatal1ty rom with whichever rom you want to flash.
If you are flashing a Hero rom then I would recommend at least 96Mb as your swap partition on your SD card. Amon_RA's recovery image will let you set that up quite easily.

Tnx for the help!

Everything you need to know is in the Blackstone ROM development forum.
This is invaluable : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 if you are new to it all. Follow it and it will be easy.
I used the above link to cRaCKwHoRe's guide, and flashed NRGZ28's Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524032, I never bothered checking radio etc and it works like a dream, wm 6.5 rom and super fast.
Cant impress upon you how important that guide is, I couldn't have done it without it, and Im regularly updating now....happy flashing!
tnx for the help!

hi there, im looking for a rom with the best of both worlds. ive tried a load of hero roms but none of them do it for me and ive been having trouble finding a good cupcake build rom. being a noob i forgot to nandroid backup my original fone befor i flashed to hero rom so im kinda looking for some help. if anyone can send me in the correct direction i would very much appreciate it!
Hi There,
why don't you try this:

i have a mytouch, 32b magic, with the "perfect spl".
i have downgraded and installed amon ra's 1.3.? recovery, i believe all i need to do is install the enganeering(however you spell it) spl but i can't download from rapidshare as i'm a free user and it keeps saying try later. i don't have money to become a premium user, is there anyone out there with the spl that doesn't mind sending it to me via email?? valefour611.at.aol.com
this would be greatly appreciated.
one last thing, i don't know how to check if i have root access... the steps i've mentioned are all i've done, is there something i'm missing other than installing the ENG spl before i attempt to flash a rom???
i came from a G1 that i downgraded and rooted with the whole typing "telnetd" and what not... it was reflashed over and over without any problems... installed the danger spl and redone everything when cyanogen released the "bare bones" roms so please don't talk smack about searching and all that junk because i am posting this as my last resort. been working on the mytouch for hours and got the downgrade and recovery from searching but now i'm just stuck without the proper spl.
any help is greatly appreciated, thanx.
sounds good man... lol
anywho, i don't really know what i did but powering on with the "back" button held down gave me these readings:
HBOOT - 1.33.2005
CPLD - 10
RADIO - 2.22.19.26I
does that mean i'm good to go and will be able to flash roms now??
i was looking for roms and the sapphire forums are hella clutered... what's a good rom to flash??? i like the cyanogen roms but don't know which one to try or where to find them as it seems he doesn't post how to flash his roms to 32b users on here(???). any rom will do, just need a name of one that isn't laggy.
thanx again.
yeah, thanx for all the help guys.
i got everything working flashed the latest cyanogen rom. ^_^
Hi Guys, I was given a STC (Saudi Arabia's Mobile Company) Magic. I've been reading lots of threads in this subforum, to no avail. This is what I've got:
View attachment 283171
Also the version of my ROM is 2.56.415.5.
Any new ideas of what to do? I'm sorry for the newbie question, but I'm stuck and can't get the root access even though I've read a lot.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

I've tried all that and then went to Cyanogen's MOD Wiki and downloaded DRC83_base_defanged.zip and applied "Any zip" from Custom Recovery and stays there forever.
Just in case you ask, I wiped before I install the OS.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

you have to apply the "DRC83_base_defanged.zip" then the rom itself "update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip" then the 32a port "bc-4.2.14.1-ebi1-signed.zip"
At the end I install this [ROM][32A][Nov07] MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI on HTC Kernel 2.6.27.
I found it in this forum an it worked perfectly.
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

Thank you very much. What I don't understand is why I have to flash all that while on the myHero ROM I only flashed the actual ROM.

because your device is 32a and if a rom is originally made for 32b you must apply the 32a port over it,in order to work on your 32a device.

Hay JamworkS,
Can you please explain the steps and put the download link?
Also do you still have arabic keyboard and fonts in the system.
Please we need this desperately. I got an htc magic from stc and i was surprised that it doesn't have the android market. We need to unlock this and have the full android experience.
Waiting you feedback!
Hello, all I did was download with another phone an application called FlashRec, also known as Recovery Flasher.
I installed it in the Magic, and then also downloaded the Recovery image for the Magic 32A. In the program there's a button that says "download from internet" if you hace Wifi or 3G. I just flashed it, and then afterwards searched this forum for that ROM, downloaded it, put the .zip in the SD card, booted in Recovery mode (Powering up the phone holding both power and the home buttons for about a minute).
When inside Recovery, it just went to flash any zip file from SD, pressed de Ball to confirm, I looked for the zip with the ROM, pressed the ball again, it asked me to confirm by pressing the home button, and voilá.
I recommend you to do a wipe before installing the ROM, at least that's what I did.
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

Thank you but it would be a lot better if you could post it here for someone else to discover.
Thank you .
Install Recovery Flasher and use it to flash Amon_Ra's recovery for the 32A (the one with the H in the name). Put a ROM you want for the old radio (3.22.*) on the SD card and flash it from recovery. That should be it. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup and wipe before flashing the new ROM
Should you want to use a ROM for the new radio (6.35) you can follow the guides in this forum.
