How do i do that?
Ask me als you need somthing to know from me...
Follow the steps exactly as outlined here:
http :// wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Please note, you have a perfect SPL, use google or the forum search function to find out more about it. This essentially means you need to create a goldcard (which is actually really easy)
In the above link (cyanogen's update guide) you basically only need to downgrade you phone to 1.5 using the COC10 build of sappimg.nbh (a link to this file is posted in cyanogen's guide), then flash cyanogen's recovery image using flashrec, the reboot into recovery mode and flash DRC83_base_defanged.zip and update-cm-4.2.x-signed.zip.
I have the same specs as you and it worked quite well. The only part that doesn't work is Amon_Ra's recovery image, because of the perfect SPL I think.
Good luck
you did it this way to?
and what is a perfect SPL ? And where to find it?
EDIT 1: can this help?: /showthread.php?t=548218 ( put it behind forum.xda-developers.com)
EDIT 2: which rom is the best?
EDIT 3: Can you exactly tell me the complete sequence of steps or URLS with a message written out all the steps?
I`m not good at English so I use google translate.
You already don't understand the reply. You cannot rely on a translator to read all the technical issues. I would suggest you find a friend or someone who knows English so that he or she can explain exactly what Tom4332 said.

hi all
i've magic vodafone with a perfect spl, with the normal way to root not work...
can someone help me or tell us how to have root with my magic?
thanks so much
i don't know anything about the vodafone version, but my Rogers version (1.33.0010 Perfect SPL) got rooted just fine with the one click root (http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/). Download the .apk, copy onto your SD card, and open it using Astro/Linda File manager. Then in the program backup your current ROM, then flash using either the default Cyanogen Recovery ROM (already in the the text box) or with the one you want (type in the path to the other Recovery ROM).

but this method is good for magic vodafone?
Don't see why it wouldn't be. They're both HTC Magic's. Either 32B or 32A. Either way, there's recovery ROMs for it. Read that RyeBrye link in my previous post, has a lot of good information.
http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
I know one click root works for the 1.33.0010 SPL, which is a perfected SPL. Assume it works for other Perfect SPLs.
Go ahead with it, it works
Just remember to backup your originar recovery before flashing the new one: you will need to flash it back if you send your handset to HTC for repair.

thank's so much for your help...but this guide, its very hard to understand for me....not for language, but for what to do with htc magic.....
I apologize in advance for being a noob but i want to learn how to root my MyTouch and i really haven't found a clear answer anywhere on here.
I have seen a few videos and how-to's that sort of helped, but i think i get the general idea and want to know if i am doing it right.
Once i downgrade to 1.5, i just put the flashrec-20090815.apk and a zip file of a rom onto the sd card then open them with linda file manager? (using 1-click method)
Thanks.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#Upgrading_from_Vanilla:_Installing_your_first_mod
check out cyanogens wiki, link above.
make sure to follow the directions for HTC MAGIC, this is VERY important..
i find this to be the easiest to follow method. you will have to determine if you have a 32B or 32A and then follow the instructions accordingly.. if you have a mythouch 3g from tmobile you will have a 32B, if not then follow the instructions to determine which you have..
best of luck
oh this guide will lead you to installing cyan mod, but once you get root you can install any rom
Instructions here are finally well laid out, but lets say i were to install a different 32B rom, where should i stop? and does it matter what spl or radio i have?
Thanks.

Hi
I have the following problem:
I've tested FroyoRedux Mod v1.9.5 with the requested radio and hboot. After that I've tried to install the original stock ROGERS 2.1 ROM. Now, the problems appeared. somehow I'm stack with the
1.76.0010 hboot, with security ON
Radio 3.22.20.17 (which should be 6.35.xx.xx) after flashing (don't ask why the update didn't take place because there was no error)
and the phone hangs at the ROGERS screen (just before start loading android).
I've tried reflash SAPPIMG from flashboot but it detects is already there and won't flash. I can not use fastboot from computer because security is ON, i don't have recovery installed because ROGERS rom took it away.
Any ideas on how I can fix this mess?
UPDATE: After reading tons of forum pots, seems I have found the source of the problem and seems that became a common issue: I've installed Rogers 2.1 manually over CM custom ROM with froyo (SPL 1.33.xxxx and RADIO 3.22.xx.xx) without knowing that Rogers will not update both RADIO and SPL.
Now all of us who did this need a solution. Anyone has an ideea?
Thanks

Hi, Yes, I've instaled Rogers 2.1 but not from RUU but from fastboot with SAPPIMG.zip
and u installed hboot from the ruu?
i think u must make a gold card... but wait for the experts
When I've installed the SAPPIMG using a goldcard, it automatically overwiten hboot, recovery and radio.
BTW: if I've formatted the goldcard, how can I create a new one now that i don't have a linux pc and i can only enter fastboot.
Thanks
Why did you post this in Development?
I'll move it to General... but I fail to see how this is development related.

sorry, i was reading in development and post the thread here from mistake
any solution please?
Now I can access teh memoy card again. Please give me a solution using RUU. Maybe a valid RUU which works on all devices because when I've tried to flash a RUU it sais whong RUU version and I must get another one.
No one can help?
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Try flashing the above.... using a goldcard and from fastboot/hboot.
Thank you for answering
I will try now
I've tried it but it say "Main Version is older". Can you tell me how can I fix that or how to make a SAPPIMG.nbh file with Rogers update or even android 2.2. Or do you have such thing?
Thanks a lot.
Anyone with a solution please !?!?
Got your PM... normally i don't respond help request over pm, but i'll make an exception.
You need to redo your goldcard... all the errors you get points to a faulty goldcard.
You can post/pm the cid nr you get from the htc device + the reverse nr. you used to make the goldcard... then i can verify that you have done it correctly.
You should have made it work with the sappimg.img i have provided earlier....
All points to a bad made goldcard!
Thanks so much for your reply.
So, Let's get started . My SD CID is
035344535530324780109ac8ee0093aa
After using http://hexrev.soaa.me/
My reversed CID is
009300eec89a10804732305553445303
(first two zeros already present)
Now, I've used this code here http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
and get the goldcard in the attachment.
Can you check please?
Thanks a lot
Well all ok from here.
The only thing left is how you made the hex-changes to the goldcard...
Which guide did you follow?
Read your pm!
i have exactely the same problem so when you get the solution can post it please !!!
Sure I will
Try this...
http://rapidshare.com/files/424005789/sappimg.zip
Put it on the goldcard and reboot by holding volume_down + power.
Then let it work...
Make sure there is nothing else on the goldcard!
Do not rename or anything.
This sappimg.zip is the new rogers 2.1 update... it should work :0)
Please report back :0)
okay I'm trying to root and install cyanogenmod on my phone using these directions... from wiki cyanogenmod...when I get down to flashing radio, I enter recovery mode and can't do anything. Just the phone and exclamation point... pls help its driving me crazy!!
not sure what guide you are following but you flash radio from fastboot not recovery.
In order to flash radio using zip file (not recommended, because it can brick your phone) you'll have to flash Amon RA.
The best method is to use the fastboot as Sleepy2 mentioned.
Thanks for the replies guys. I thought I had actually flashed Amon RA. Can anyone post link on how to use fastboot. All this searching is driving me crazy. I'm trying to get it rooted so I can get rid of it.
At this point I have to do something. I downgraded to 1.0 as cyanogenmod instructuctioins say, but thats about all I have accomplished. I phone was so much easier to jailbreak and unlock

We could go along like this forever but I am already getting bored with it. So how about you provide some information.
What guide are you following?
What is your current SPL and Radio?
What recovery do you currently have?
lulz... nevermind, I'm slowly getting it... I'm not done yet.. seems like I go from one problem to another though. I'm starting over and trying it again. Thanks so much though, I'm sure I'll have more questions.

@ jnralp00 - Please provide the information requested, so we can help you better.
i've been there before.. not sure if you figured it out yet but if you still using recovery to root follow this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR0HpUVv-BY i used this back when i didnt understand fastboot and it was actually real simple. just note that if your on 1.6 you need to downgrade to 1.5 theres a link on how to do that in the description of that video.. and also when you get the G1update.zip from that link you need to rename to update.zip (just delete G1 from the title) and also after you complete that method you need to flash the Danger spl which you can find 100's of links on how to do that here on xda.
on a second note: AFTER you flash "danger spl" there is a simple way to get your G1 to the current radio and hboot 2.22.28.25, 1.33.0013d also by using recovery.. i know its not recommended by most devs but if your unsure of fastboot and adb and stuff i would use it.. just be careful and follow directions exact!! remember you need the danger spl first before upgrading your radio or you can seriously brick your phone and that would just suck!!
hope this helps and if you have any questions at all feel free to ask before you do something your unsure of.. i will be more than happy to guide you in the right direction..
Can someone give me a link or explenation how to install a new rom on my htc magic?
Like how to root, etc etc?
(searched but cant find anything easy :s)
Well, you've certainly come to the right place.
As I've no idea what stage you are at, I'd say a good starting point is discovering what your magic is - turn it off, depress back button while starting phone.
Then begin your searching based upon that info......
I rooted mine following the cyanogenmod wiki. Knew nothing when I did and it worked out fine.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com (still can't post links)
By far, the easiest I've encountered. Still, feel free to ask questions about any of the steps and I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd love to help.
I have a 32A with radio 3.22.20.17 and Hboot 1.33.0009
(Sapp 10000)
I've installed the android SDK and the USB thing, I have a Magic from belgium (proximus) that shoudn't need to bee rooted.
So the only thing i need to know now is what do i need to install before i can instal a new rom and ho do i ionstall other radio+rom,
thank you
make sure you have all files on sd, and computer.
and have recovery etc.
follow the steps and double check it.

You need recovery on your phone and the right radio/hboot. Once you have these the ROM BIBLE on here very useful.
Read everything carefully and don't rush into anything, as the wrong combinations of rom/radio/hboot can easily brick your phone.
With recovery on your phone, and the right radio/hboot, flashing the rom itself via recovery is fairly easy.
You download the rom to your pc, enter recovery and wipe your phone, move your new rom onto the sd card via pc or usb, then flash it onto your phone from the sd card. Obviously there's more to it (such as backing up and more wiping etc) and more detailed explanations are available on this site - this is just to give you an idea of what's required.
The links in Mumilover's signature proved extremely useful to me(see my flashrec confusion post), might be worth you looking having a look to see if any are of use to you as well. Good luck.

Wow, no need for rooting! Have you tried installing a custom recovery image yet? Don't use ClockworkMod as they appear to have problems with 32A magics. Apparently, (according the cyanogenmod wiki) all you have to do is boot into fastboot and type a few things into cmd. BTW, you might have to type in the entire directory of the "recovery.img" you use when you use fastboot. (even if it's in the same folder as fastboot) I'm a noob so it took me a half hour to figure that out.

How to get into fastboot and what do i have to type in cmd?
Go to wiki.cyanogenmod.com and find the step by step process for your specs. If you get the "remote:not allow" message while flashing a recovery then you're probably going to have to change your spl

I know there different methods out there, which I can't speak off, excuse me being biased but I have to say mumilovers fastboot commander was amazingly easy for me. In your case use the fastboot commander (magic version) in his signature. You simply download the commander, connect your phone via usb and enter fastboot (turn off phone, depress back button while starting phone up). You then have the ability via the commander to add recovery, change radio and change spl in simple clicks. Please note s-off/eng hboot is required (which you will find details of in fastboot) - which is why I can't use it anymore!!
you then can go off and change roms
