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,

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because your device is 32a and if a rom is originally made for 32b you must apply the 32a port over it,in order to work on your 32a device.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

1. As far as I know the only 1.6 rom with bluetooth file transfer support is fyodor's 6.4.2 rom
2. I think of SPQROm and nfinity(I prefer nfinity last version cause have a graphical calibration tool)
3. yes
Before do anything, you should find and download your stock rom(there is a thread in this forum and I think is sticky) and make a goldcard.
Then you'll can flash your stock unrooted rom when you like.
HEy...Thanks a lot...can you send me the link of that thread?

hi friend,
How are you ?
I'm a newbie try to read many topics .
some can understand but some make me confusing.
Would you please help me about :
----Question------
1-how to install android in HTC HD2 Tmobile 1024(flash) ?
2-backup the exiting window mobile OS (ROM)
3-what is benefit to install android in SD and NAND ?
4-How do i restore back my ROM HTC HD2 T-mobile(Unlocked)?
5-Is it will lock again when i restore/install the ROM ?
----information-----
i bought this htc hd2 tmobile in ebay and already unlock by buying code in ebay.
please give me the right topic with stable ROM
Sorry to send private message to you..
Thank for your time
Thanks
James
1. See noob guide on Flashing NAND Android rom (link in my signature)
2. You can't back it up, but there are lots of places where you can download the rom. check out the WM6.5 development thread to see if you can get a download link.
3. To me NAND is far more smooth in operation than running off of sd card. Running of sd card I guess gives the flexibility of having 2 os's that you can switch between if for some obscure reason you would want to do that (ie dual boot)
4. Just flash the stock wm rom back
5. No, it won't lock the device again. (AFAIK - 99.9% sure )
My current favourite rom is also linked in my signature.

ClydeB1's answers are all true...I'd lyk 2 add something to answer number "2"
U can't completely back up ur WinMo rom...u can re-download and install though...Hweva u can backup n transfer data lyk sms, contacts, call logs etc from WinMo to Android using Sprite Migrate which can be found here.
Could you please quide me ?

Thanx Simon_WM...! I will check it out and try it out tonight.
Hi Simon,
I have read tiad8's guide on tiad8.com web site.
But it may be a little difficult to the newbies like me.
For example in the thread (build) NAND RHOD GSM (ROM FROYO BLUE) ETA: READY:
...
Install Directions V2 make sure battery is 80% on windows mobile...
*sync your phone (USB MUST BE PLUGGED IN)
*Flash your phone with the LK Bootloader NBH
*Open bash/command prompt and run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
...
How could I do the above jobs in WM or xdroid?
I try to register on it to ask him, but get denied.
Could you help me ask if he can release a more detail description with some picture?
Perhaps uploading the guideline video on the youtube is another good idea.
I do appreciate his great job.
Thanks.

Hi!
Well...after few years from having MDA Compact II i bought HTC Touch HD. In meanwhile i had Nokia Symbian(6630,nGage etc...i was a kid in those times). Few days ago i still had old Nokia 5140i, and SE k550
(...just you to see what was my general opinion on newer phones)
I bought used HTC Touch HD for about 120€. Rom is same energy thing 6.5, which is actually prety sweet. In second moment i already instaled Foryo 2.2 on SD card and it is running excellent. Well, i cant watch youtube but sound is coming(that is one problem), and the second one is that it doesent recognize my SD card anymore.
Beside those "errors" it is quite nice. I had never thought that it would come to that, becouse i was struggling with MDA Compact. After it i started using old simple mobile phones...
Few programs which will make life easier and i am ready to go.
When i remember how i was moderator on symbian-mobile.org, fighting with symbian, small screens and clumsy controls...ihihihi

very easy: don't do anything!
the rom build you named "NAND RHOD GSM (ROM FROYO BLUE) ETA: READY" is clearly a rom for the rhodium and not the blackstone, which is why flashing it will brick your device.
you should wait for a suitable blackstone build, preferably one that was tested before and is sure to work and support all the hardware of the blackstone.
