How to prepare/install new rom.

Hello all, just got my magic and i kinda found out that i must have the hero rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531617
But since im kinda new to both flashing room and android i whant to be sure i do all thing correct.
So what should i do to prepare this (backup of my standard rom) and so on, and is there a guide to install that rom i whant?
Decided to make a new thread instead of posting in the Htc hero ROM thread since i need info about both how to install it and how to prepare the install and it can be abit hard to read trough 10 pages of "thanks for the great rom" and "... is missing / not working".
Thanks in advance.

Depending on what version you have, but if you have a Rogers this is the guide I used. Very easy to fallow, if it's not a Rogers I think you can still use the guide just use the proper SPL for your phone. And this is the ROM I used, again for the Rogers branded. Hope that helps you out.

All the info you need is in the development section. Here's the post on SPL, yours looks to be an HTC branded from Greece.

Help with rooting my Magic, doubts...

I have a 32A Magic (Only HTC not vodafone), and I want to root it. My problem is that after reading a lot of topics I have a doubt.
First of all I don't know if the procedure of the 32B (Vodafone Magic) is the same for the 32A, I mean, I can do the same procedure with the same files.
Second, even I found a lot of rooting guides, I wasn't able to find any guide explained step by step or more clearly that the ones I've found already...
I know that this kind of question might have been asked before, but I've already searched in the forums with no real succes.
Please, can anybody give me a hand. Thanks a lot in advance for the pattience...

Here you go bro

The onlye problem is that my magic is not a rogers magic, it's and HTC Magic with no brand at all (Only HTC)...
Does that work for me?...

[HTC Magic 32B] Can I root?

I have been searching all over the web and cannot seem to root my Magic. I have installed Windows XP now so some software and processes will work.

Is there ANY way i can root? I am gutted that I have been looking all yesterday for a root and a keep on failing.
Thanks in advance everyone.

I have exactly the same phone/spec which I managed to root/flash CyanogenMod successfully.
I followed the following procedure to flush the "recovery" image and then you can put any ROM you like...
Google: "how to: root the magic in one click" from the Unlockr
You don't need to flash the SPL but if you do then the 1.33.2004 worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.

didnt work for me.
Anyway, I am going to send the 32B Vodafone HTC Magic back for a refund (YEAAAAH!!!) to buy a factory unlocked 32A HTC Magic!

but you need 1.5 and i am on 1.6 and have a perfect SPL

MT3G 1.2 32A (Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G) Questions???

Hi everyone,
I am somewhat new at this so please be patient with me if I am not understanding this correctly. I have been searching and reading and posting questions on different threads for several days now any can't seem to come to any kind of conclusion as to what ROM I should/could be using so I need some help. What I am trying to get is a stable (preferably official) ROM with HTC Sense on my T-Mobile USA MyTouch 3G 1.2 (Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G). Every forum post I have found so far has had slightly different info. Here are some questions I have based on different posts and guides I have read:
1. Is the MT3G 32A == HTC Magic 32A for Rogers/UK? What is the difference? Radio?
2. Can any 32A ROM be used for MT3G 32A? Why/Why Not?
3. Would an official HTC Magic ROM for Rogers or Voda work using rom.zip(from RUU_Sapphire_SMC_Voda_WWE_3.03.990.6_release_signed_NoDriver.exe)->sappimg.nbh then update using goldcard method? Why/Why Not?
4. Does the MT3G 32A have the same hardware as the HTC Hero? If so can I use official or custom Hero ROM? Why or Why not?
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
Here is what I have now:

The thing is any Magic with 3.5 headphones jack on the top requires a different procedure to flash custom roms. So Magic 32A roms dont work on those with 3.5 jack due to the new hardware. There are no custom roms yet, so the only thing you can get is root(like you already have). Oh, if I were you I wouldnt try flashing custom roms of hero and Magic 32A. Just wait for the "offical" custom rom.
