Please listen up!
When the 2.1 is released;
Do not update your phone with the RUU from htc website or OTA because it will most likely lock up your bootloader and make you unable to downgrade, root and it will replace/delete you custom recovery boot menu and therefore UNABLE TO ROOT,DOWNGRADE AND FLASH ANY CUSTOM ROM!
I recommend waiting for a 2.1 based villain version or MODACO 4
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED; YOUR PHONE MAY BE "WRECKED"
if you goto modaco htc hero forum you'll find a similar thread with more information.

Hi,
I bought myself yesterday a Magic (32A), but the pre-owner flashed it with Capyslide. a few things annoy me (GPS doesn´t work properly,...) so I want to recover the original status. Therefore I downloede the original Update (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe) but it doesn´t work - what shall I do?? please help me
Download and flash CursorSense rom from here....it's based on the last official 1.5 release and with little changes to it's integrity....it's also faster then official release is. But of course there are ways of making gps work. Btw if you wish to have gps working on cursorsense or even your original rom (which can also be found here, rooted), you first need to reflash the radio because 2.1 roms don't get along with 1.5 on new radio.
no link
sorry but there was no link - how can i install it?
For that, I cannot help you because I would have to write a looong text to explain it all to you. First of all, you need to place rom in zip format to the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and wipe data and after that flash the rom....you can find lots and lots of tutorials here and you need to read them all....very carefully. Btw this is not for dev related, but general. And as for the links, for pit's sake, there's a search function here and also numbers down below for you to select on what page you wish to go....you'll find it probably either on this first page or second.
Moved to General since it's not about ROM Development.

please help!
hi guys. Need your help here. I have a magic 32b vodafone australia. Since having it, i have been flashing different custom roms found here on my devices. All I need to do was to fastboot on pc with amon recovery and wipe/flash the rom. I managed to flash and run the roms successfully. However after i few tweaks, i realized those roms was too much battery hunger, and decide to switch back to stocks 1.5. Here come the problems: I flashed the amon recovery image to devices with droid explorer (so i dont have to use fastboot cmd on windows anymore), the phone ask to install new official update donut 1.6, but when it restart to recovery image platform, it say wrong signature and wont let me update. I flashed the google ION 1.6 but it seems slow and does not come with Vodafone audio parameters. I really want the official vodafone 1.6 donut back.
How do i update to official firmware? it seems like i lost the originial recovery image because flashed amon recovery, do i have to reflash the original to gain signature? i tried restore with nandroid but no help.
Please help me. I appreciate any support. Thanks in advance
YOurs sincerely,
no help? please... i know you guys are great. there are so many reply and this thread has been pushed to page 2, how come there are no answer
Best bet would do just do alot of searching on here and someother android forums for a vanilla build of 1.6 that would be good for you and is compatible. Do you still want to be able to access a recovery image? or nothing like a stock htc phone.
thankx for reply dude. however i have some battery issues with custom roms here. The phone always being out of battery so fast. I want the official rom upgrade. I suspect the issue lie in flashing stock recovery image with amon's one, so it does not let me upgrade. HOw do i get back the original?
Try this ROM, it's the official 1.6 ROM for the Google ION (which is the 32B Magic pre unlocked and flashed with engSPL). The ROM is standard 1.6 by Google, which nothing extra added, so you should be very good battery life.
Go to this
page and find just the 1.6 ROM (signed-google_ion-img-14721.zip), I doubt you'll need that radio.
hey guys, i really want to have that official roms back. The google ION image seems slow, and does not come with vodafone audio parameters. How do i update to official vodafone 1.6? i.e has anyone have the original recovery image of vodafone 32b?
thx
Hi,
I noticed that Brazilian HTC Magic support page have a rom update for 2.1
http://www.htc.com/br/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=272&cat=2&dl_id=1065
this update is not as RUU but as a ZIP file, any rom moders can check this? Is this rom better than the one that already exists for Rogers HTC Magic? The update is dated from 2010-12-13
I have download it.Use winrar to zip it.I think,can just use recovery update boot.img,radio.img,system.img,so do not lost my root.
just put this in the SD card, turn on the magic with "volume" pressed and follow the steps. The rom is great, fast and stable, no problem untill now.
sorry for my bad english.
what devices this rom support? only brazilian htc?
Should work on any 32A. Upgrade to the new radio/spl using the radioswitcher and flash the system, boot and userdata images from fastboot. Or wait for someone to build a ROM based on this, but since it's the same main version as the Rogers one I'd doubt someone will.
Is this rom multilangual??
then i will flash this one an i have warranty, because it is a offical htc rom. so i can say the support, i've download it form your page

doh!! modell id incorrect... at the end on my 32a..

Help me out ...
Thanks in advance
Yes, you cannot root till Unrevoked updates their code to support the new HBOOT contained in the official 2.2 update.
Unfortunately, all you can do is wait.
That's unlucky that you've installer Froyo on your BUZZ...
Here's a doengrade solution: ^0^

can you please help i got htc desire hd i would like to update over air the new FIRMWARE 2.3.5 ?
I have rooted my phone with aahk software all I did was just run the program NO custom firmware that's it and it unlocked my phone
can I update over air the firmware 2.3.5 I don't mind if loose the rooting
THANK YOU
OTA updates are dependent upon your network releasing them... so you'll have to wait, or perhaps contact your network to see if you can get an eta out of them. You also might have to get AAHK to 'return you to stock RUU' in order for the OTA to even kick in.
...however, since you've already used AAHK anyway, you have the option of flashing your '2.3.5' roms of different flavours, or even the 4.0.x ICS. Though bear in mind that flashing the latter would give you an early development rom that probably won't be as stable nor have the complete set of features as say... some of the more established gingerbread roms.
Were I in your shoes, I'd just flash the custom roms that will suit my individual needs, no rom is better overall... its literally 'horses for courses' in regards to what's currently released.
Just do your homework and read as much as you can in regards to the rom you want to choose, as well as the RADIO/RIL/Kernel you want to pair it up with.
The 'search' tool here in the forum is quite good for doing this, and the stickies... though not updated frequently, does have the important threads still linked.
Good luck and happy hunting. ^_~

Downloading an OTA can mess up your phone since you have rooted, so technically its S-OFF. In theory you could download the OTA and it MAY appear as available but hearing mixed replies on similar topics, the results vary from returning the phone to stock to seriously messing with it.
I'd do what the man above me suggested, browse through the dev section and stickies, use search and read as much as you can about custom ROM's. Some are seriously amazing and will give you more then any custom ROM can offer.
Good luck.
thanks
thank you guys for your advice
where can I get custom files for HTC desire HD t-mobile UK
also if anyone know how can I fix my GPS it takes long before I can get signal
that's why I wanted to upgrade the firmware IF I CAN FIX THE GPS I DON'T MIND STAYING ROOTED PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
...you're supposed to do the research yourself.
However, since I'm in an ok mood, here are links to the roms you might want to flash.
BTW, assuming you ran the Advance Ace Hack Kit successfully, you're phone is now technically SIM unlocked... meaning you don't have to get 'custom files for HTC desire HD t-mobile UK' ...so all the ROMS i've linked below will work on your phone.
Note - General direction on how to flash these ROMS/RADIO/RIL/KERNEL:
download the ZIP to your SD
reboot your phone to recovery by shutting down, once its completely shutdown... press and hold vol-down and power, then choose RECOVERY on bootloader menu
choose 'install from SDCard'...
find the ZIP file of the rom and let it to its thing.
However, PLEASE READ the thread's first couple of post, and consult the support threads which the ROM links to in order to get a more detailed info on installing and confirguring the rom
Sense 3.5 ROMS:
RCMix3D 4.0 Runny
EREBUS XL3.5
Virtuous Affinity 1.48.0
Sense 3.0 ROMS:
Android Revolution HD 6.3.1
Beatmod FlyerDOM V2.0
RADIO & RIL thread
(YOU MUST FLASH THE RECOMMENDED RADIO FOR YOUR ROM, or at least the recommended one on the 1st post of the radio thread.
YOU MUST ALSO FLASH THE MATCHING RIL TO THE RADIO IF YOU'RE USING A SENSE ROM!
Kernels (flash the one that 'feels' ok in regards to your phone performance):
LORDMOD (latest is V5.0)
KLquicksall RCMix3D (Latest is V12, but most stable is V11.1v2)
...there'd be more, so search the forums for them... the above is the most popular ones.
For everything else, please consult this thread... or perhaps use the SEARCH function of the forum.
...I think that's enough spoonfeeding from me... =P
faster gps fix
Hi Basehumax, here's a fix for ur GPS:

I'm in the Uk myself and can confirm it worked for me. I'll get a fix in 5-10 secs outside and 10-15 inside. If that doesn't work there's also this fix, but it's a hardware job and will take some phone dismantling:
