Rooting information/ help - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I have some questions that i couldn't find an answer so i come to you guys. (first off here is my information)
Model Number: HTC Magic
Build number: 3.05.631.7 CL#118917
kERNEL vERSION: 2.6.27-5b47e83
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06KU_6.35.10.18
Firmware version: 1.5
Board version: 32A
Mobile Carrier: Rogers Canada
All i want to do is remove some stock apps some stock HTC apps. But i am told i need to root my phone.( i have some tutorials http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-HTC-magic-in-one-click/ and http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-magic/ )
So what should i do if possible all i really want is to install the updates from htc then download apps and install it with astro and remove some stock apps...
can some one give me some incite to my problem.
What custom ROM is exactly like htc's and just as fast.
Or
What custom ROM should i get if i have to! and how often do updates come out.
Like i want to install the newest ROM from HTC http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862 but it's only for (Portugal,Denmark, Norway,Germany,Greece,Sweden,Austria,Israel). plus I'm from Canada so I'm guessing it's in a different language

safe to go for the US OTA upgrade for french g1?

Hello everybody,
I have a g1 that I got in france. The annoying thing is there has been no real news of the cupcake update yet.
I was wondering if it would be an issue if I go ahead and use the OTA US or UK upgrade available here. The french version of G1 does not have gtalk and is a different from the other G1's (US or UK ones).
If I upgrade to either one, will I get those features?
Here are the details of my phone. I would be very very grateful if someone can show me the way.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LOL, no one probably knows because most on this forum are r00ted....
The CRC build should be CRC1, I know that much and the firmware version should be 1.5, I will have to look into the others.
I am rooted too..........but I need to know. LOL
it should read the .19.26 radio as well i believe, i am not sure on any of the other stuff though cause i keep updating daily to new roms. why do you need to know what it should say?? as long as it is unrooted or has never been rooted and shows 1.5 then the rest will come up as it is supposed to, on a non-rooted phone there is no way to change the radio without the entire build being changed or anything else.
I am having some phone issues need to return and want to make sure it is current when I return it!

noob rooting questions

hey,
I got HTC mytouch 4g a week ago. and I am familiar with some of the terms and whats going on.
Firstly, this is my software information on my phone currently:
Android version: 2.2.1
baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernal version: 2.6.32.21-g899d047

tues oct 26
build number: 1.17.531.2 CL277036
software number: 1.17.531.2
I have read that there is some OTA update that is applied to htc mytouch 4g and that I need do something about that prior to rooting. Am I suppose to do that then? and is the version of visionary 11 good and "safe" rather than latest versions?
Is there anything else I should read and learn before I tackle rooting? If so, can you please provide the link or let me know what to search exactly. I have checked out the wiki, but I don't really know what I am exactly looking for or should be looking for :S.
thanks!

Htc desİre hd update problem

Hello good day Htc HD 2.2.1 update negative desire. Updated from causing a problem is found for the prediction, says the country may have taken the phone is usually no problem as far east countries, European countries, the problem of the devices. So how can I change the software of this event in the country (country code) program with. I'm waiting your help I need ideas to solve this issue.
Hi, I gather english isn't your native language.
Not to worry, I think I understand what you mean.
The 2.2.1 Android update for the Desire HD (DHD) was removed due to the issues it caused for a large number of customers.
If you want to have the latest software available you will need to root your DHD, apply ENG S-OFF, flash a custom recovery & then flash a suitable ROM.
There are guides available in the Dev section of these forums, I would post links but I'm mobile.
But what may be relevant to update the phone's takenDid he the country? I bought the device from hong kong.
please help

i have used the guide here in this forum after creating a Gold Card
i have already did that to get the 1.83.415.4 update for my phone to be able to use the Arabic official keyboard in this newest update
or at least root my phone and get better custom stable software
i have checked the software update after downgrading but it still saying my phone software is up to date!!!!!!
Well,
i need your help getting the answers for the following:
1- Does my phone became unbranded now after downgrading? i did not saw the usual vodafone logo when starting m phone
2- is there is anyway to force my phone to update the new official software after downgrading?
3- if i can not force it to update ..what i should do to root my phone and which the most safer way to do that (please refer me to step by step guide and a working links to the required tools)
4- what's the most stable software which contains Arabic support and how i can install it in step by step guide..
Thanks in advance for your help and please excuse the long topic as am totally new to android ( it took around 2 weeks to just figure out how to downgrade my phone)
Waiting your answers ASAP
1. Yes its unbranded.
2. You can update officially by downloading an ruu but don't. Best to get radio s-off.
3. Search the development section. You want to perm root and s-off.
4. Leedroid arabic edition.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.
Thanks for your reply
Good news that my phone became officially unbranded
Well, in another forum (Arabic one) they just adviced me to download the official new rom 1.8xxxx on my pc (they provided me with the links)
then to connect my phne to my pc and then start the installing through my pc
No S-Off needed... No Rooting needed
and guess what... it's working like charm now
Thanks everybody
Yep, but someone could find the complete lack of root a downside
