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

I just bought hero and i am delighted with it
I heard that new ROM version is much better than the old one (i have 1.76.405.6)
What is new in newer version, and can i just download RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe and flash it with that or i must be careful with something?
For the most part, the newer version is just a significant speed bump to the original.
Rather than applying an RUU update, I'd be more inclined to apply a custom recovery image and one of Modacos ROMs.
Regards,
Dave
It also has scandinavian language support
If i want to applay RUU update, that will automaticly install ROM on my hero? (like on Touch HD)
Why would you rather applay a custom recovery image and one of Modacos ROMs, and how to do that? My hero is new and i dont want to do something wrong or bad..
To do what is not written in front of you is living...........

If you don't know why, you probably shouldn't be on these forums!
Seriously though - read some threads and do some research.

The official RUU update will apply the update automatically. If you're not sure about applying a custom ROM then the official one is worth installing. Installing a custom ROM will require a couple of extra steps though.
Asd foxmeister says, read, read read.
Ok, thx for replay and help
haha! I met a guy today at my phone market in the same boat as you I offered to give him my Hero with the newest update and 500RMB to have his and he wouldn't bite. Fortunately my vendor loves me and she is now looking for another hero with the 1.76 ROM for me
There is nothing wrong with the updated phone. In fact it works great. You just need to decide what is best for you.
Ok well i beleive i am pretty outdated here. i first rooted my device when it became available (used goldcard method) took me for ever but i did along with changing the radio from the perfected SPL.
currently as it sits my Recovry image is Build RAv1.2.1G
my SPL also is 1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
Radio - 2.22.19.26I
the latest Cyanogen Rom i have flashed is the 1.6 donut right before he had to stop putting inthe Google apps 4.11 i beleive.
currently i have a Hero Rom on it and its ok but im geting very excited for the new Eclair 2.0 coming out soon and i would like to get up to date so that when it does become available i can start flashing that as well.
i know its not a good idea to ask stuff like this in the Developer forum so thats why i put this in here.
i have no idea how out of date i am in regrds to Recovery image version, how people now flash Cyanogens new ROMS (as in what steps they take now) and if i even still have the most current Radio.
can anyone please bring me up to speed? i have been so caught up in other things like work and photography (my other hobby) that i havent been able to keep up with the advancements lately)
your recovery is a couple of versions out of date, check the changelog but it shouldn't be a big deal. i flashed my first rom with 1.2.1 as well
cyano has posted a howto in the dev forum on his new rom thread, but essentially you fastboot to recovery, wipe your phone, flash the official htc donut image (which includes licensed google apps) then DO NOT BOOT and flash cyano's rom over the top of that
So yesterday i decided to root my HTC magic 1.2 (my touch 3.55mm jack)
Root went well (had a small problem finding the correct sappimg but i found it,
Got Ra's recovery working as well and flashed an allmost stock fender rom/w root.
worked with no problems.
wanted to try 2.1 (eclair i think) So i flashed a str0kes rom. went easy looked cool but was too buggy for me (no usb teather! or wireless teather! or BT)
so then i wanted to try CM and i've had alot of trouble trying to understand the steps for flashing this rom, i was able to get it running (touch screen and all) but it was very slow
what i had try to do was just flash the cm mod update. (hell it worked)
then i came accross this
[Rom][32a][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/28/2010) Mod Revision-2
Witch sounded awesome
I had no idea how to downgrade(i think i got close?!)
Or what i really had to do, i was able to get to the andriod screen but it hung right there. i tryed flashing the downgraded spl and rom but it refused to boot passed HTC magic screen. tryed flashing a diffrent radio and spl and it bricked (update fail ) so i have a new one on the way and my buddys to pratice on.
Can anyone help me/ explain to me how to install the oc'd rom?
Thanks in advance and sorry for you're time
If you would read, you'd notice that the newest release from Cyanogen himself says it will work with myTouch 1.2. You need the kernel for 32A, the ROM, and the Google add on. Flash them in that order and your good to go. I've been running it on a myTouch 1.2 that I rooted using instructions from unlockr and here and it works perfect.
I can't post a link, but the thread in under Dream development as Lean Mean Pastry Machine.
BTW, I would not recommend running 5.0.7 OC. 528 was FAST... Super D fast.
WEll i fugred out what lead to the bricking of my phone. apparently the downgrade guide i followed was for the older 32A models.... Dang...
So after rooting with a gold card i should flash the 32A kernel via ra's recovery then flash the cm mod?
(how do i install the google apps?)
I may try this out soon on my other my touch (brrowed my dads lol..till monday when my new one gets to me!)
The unlockrs guide was helpful, i pretty much memorized the rooting process
-creategold card
- transfer sappimg
update via hboot.
Flash radio and spl for touch screen.
Then flash amon ra's recoery rom correct?
After that i should boot into recovery flash the kernel then cm mod? should i reboot back to recovery after wards?
So can anyone hook me up with a little instruction?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

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.
flash radio
what radio should i flash?
would this be the way

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