Can anyone help?
Last year i installed a Hero ROM on my Vodafone HTC Magic with help from this guy: http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/
Everything worked great, except for the fact that it runs really slowly sometimes and takes an age to do anything. I want to return back to the original Magic ROM (or as near as i can get to it) so that it runs faster and responds as it did originally. I have read through loads of forums and the majority say i need to root my Magic first. Because i have already put the Hero ROM on, does that mean the phone is now rooted? I am starting to get lost in all the different reports and would like some clarification on what i need to do, and where i can get a working ROM from. Hopefully the following info will help.
Boot screen info:

Hello everyone,
I have an old 32A Sapphire that I bought in Canada on rogers network when it first came out. I had rooted it and put custom recovery and roms on it but when rogers put out the manditory update I got them to send me a replacement and just put my rooted magic to the side. It's been quite a while since I've tried to mess around with it and see that a few things have changed. I really want to try and get it back on rogers network with root still. I have never done anything more than one-click root flash recovery and put on some basic roms. I am thinking that my radio and spl will have to be updated. Current info is as follow:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Running a couple different roms that can be switched using RAv1.2.1H:
Hero3G UNI
Hofo 221
RA-IONv1.6.2H
I am really just wondering what guides and steps I should follow to get it updated (hopefully to the new rogers 2.1). Any info/links is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello all.
A friend of mine has a HTC Magic (the google one) 32b and he wants to root and flash recovery/rom, but he is afraid of bricking the phone because of spl and radio updates.
Can some one point me to some guide, how to root and flash and give some advices?
He also wants to install gingerbread. Is it available?
Thanks in advance

Can you help me.
I was thinking about doing this process
1) Downgrading to 1.5
(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32B):_Rooting)
2) Install this recovery
(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492)
3) Install this Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932118)
They think this process is the best for my Magic?
I appreciate the help

This is a request for information not general tutorial.
Hello everyone.
Yesterday I made the case that he had previously said, downgrading to Android 1.5, I installed a new recovery (Amon_Re 1.7.0) and got me here.
Ginger wanted to install the rom Yoshi 1.1, but I noticed that for this rom, I need this 1.33.0013d SPL and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08.
After making the downgrading, the fastboot got the following data
SAPPHIRE PVT SHIP S-32B ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Then and now, is the question I ask? What will be the next step?
Thank you for your help
Just one more question.
Android 1.5 as at this moment, the system says I have two updates to the Android 1.6 and 2.2.1 of Froyo later. If I make any of these facilities, I lose everything I did before, that the recovery entertaining installed (Amon_Re 1.7.0)? Or the recovery keeps unchanged?
Thank you all for the precious help he has given me. They have been great to me.
Not one response from you. Thanks
Hello everyone,
Yoshi already installed. Can lock the topic
Thanks

Hi yaguilao. Welcome to XDA!
This thread will help you to root, flash a custom recovery, and upgrade to a magic SPL. A magic SPL will give you much more control over your device and make it easier to recover if you have any problems.
Once you have the custom recovery and magic SPL, you'll be able to install custom ROMs as often as you want.
This forum has threads for HTC Magic/Sapphire/MyTouch custom ROMs.
Some tips:
Make sure you know exactly what model you have: if it has a headphone jack, it's a Fender/1.2. If it doesn't have a headphone jack, it's a regular 32B. Before you flash anything, make sure it is compatible with your device.
Once you have a working radio + magic SPL + custom Recovery, your life will be much easier. The phone will be hard to kill as long as you don't try to change radio/SPL/Recovery after that.
Before you do something, read the forums. As much as you can. A lot of people have made mistakes, so you can learn from them.
If you've read everything but you still have concerns, post a question on the forums.
Good luck!
