I picked up the phone in India (quite possibly bought somewhere else), and am currently using it in the UK and have no issues whatsoever. It is running version 1.5. After hearing about the new sense UI, I thought I would try updating the ROM via the one on the HTC website.
When I tried doing so however, after I put in the serial number, I got the message "This software is not suitable for your phone". So I thought i'd see if changing the country would help. In most cases the same thing happened but the one for Singapore seems to work and lets me proceed to the next step. The top of it however displays "(For Singapore, Philippines only)" The ROM version is 3.03.707.5.
Does that country thing matter or make a difference since I would be using it in the UK?
The settings for the phone are -

Really? No one on this board has bought a phone from one country and used it in another?
Try to download from Uk Htc Website and update
Umm... I think it's the carriers that pushes out updates to Android phones, so if your current carrier sells the Magic it possibly can push out updates for yours also. Unless there are differences not allowing it to.

I have an battery issue on my phone, that is not related to the battery... My phone drains about 80% of the battery overnight with almost everything turned off. The problem is not the battery itself since a friend of mine had used it on his HTC Magic 32A, and it lasted almost 2 days...
I suspect that what is draining my battery is the radio of the phone... I have radio 2.22.19.26I and I was thinking on upgrading it to a newer version(if there is any...), but I have some questions about how to upgrading it...
I have been looking over here but I don't find good information about upgrading the radio.
Where can I find the newest radio versions and how can I update them?
Is there any danger of bricking the phone while upgrading the radio?
Is it possible to backup the current radio and restore it later if there is any problem?
Well, this is more than a few questions but I really cant find many information on this topic.
Here are some information about my phone:

No idea BUT maybe try calling t mobile. Revert the phone to the stock rom and ask them about it. They were really helpful to me and the phone was sent via express shipping which took a max of 3 business days.
Can't do it... First its a Vodafone Spain phone, then I am in Portugal, not Spain... so I a bit stuck...
Anyone?
Does anyone have a clue on this one?
That is the latest radio, there is nothing to upgrade to.
Hi,
I want to upgrade ROM to HTC sense. I went to official site and entered my phone's serial number to download the upgrade. But they say, Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
official site: [HTC website]/hk-en/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=765
FYI, my phone is HTC TIM 32A black.

Now, how will I upgrade the ROM? Where can I find the HTC sense ROM for my phone? Is there any other better or latest ROM for this device?
Thanks in advance.
Reason for upgrade: Currently I have sapphire-user 1.6 drc83 (i don't know if it is the ROM name). I need flash support in web browser so that I can enjoy flash videos and see flash animations. Also I need a rich,faster and smoother system. Must to be compatible with all the present android software in android market. All the hardware feature must work properly.
I have flashed my Vodafone Magic with the Hero ROM from karrderized's instructions. Everything went fine and the ROM works great, with only one little issue; I am having problems with the APN settings for Vodafone UK. Sometimes it fails to connect and it seems to come on ang go off and swap between G, 3G & H, making some applications fail. I made a note of my previous APN settings and entered these in after the ROM had completed, but it wont connect at all with these, i have to use the APN settings that have come with the ROM, which do seem to be nearly the same for Vodafone UK, but not quite.
Is there anyone with a Vodafone branded Magic/Hero that can supply me with the correct APN settings that i should be using??
Don't know if you need the info below, but i will post it anyway;

I went through almost every post in the Magic General forum, found no answers for the following:
1-I want to unlock my phone to use any operator not only (Vodafone).
2-Install a custom rom Gingerbread 2.3.x with most apps packed, supports arabic or link me to an arabic update that may be installed by apk or zip.
Thanks....

You can only buy unlock-code (or you can do paid-unlock in repair-shop)
Have you tried it with another sim already? Mine was unlocked already. If not ring Vodafone as the will as they can send you an unlock code.

I agree, mine arrived unlocked even though seller said was locked

Hey guys I bought a used HTC Magic 2-3 years ago and the person which I bought it from had already installed MyHero on it.
Now I want to use it as a work phone as its very durable, but I need google drive (the app) and at the moment it is not possible to install that with my current setup.
So here it goes:

HTC hero

And I want to basically revert this back to the stock htc magic rom and then upgrade it to the latest compatible rom. I haven't been able to connect the phone through htc sync since I upgraded to win7.
I have read this guide but I am not sure if this will work. Can anyone guide me if this is the correct way im going.
Thanks.
