Hi Guys,
I purchased an HTC Rogers Magic+ second hand that has a T-Mobile MyTouch 3g ROM installed on it with v 1.5.
I've been having trouble rooting the phone using the unlockr tactic. FlashRec tells me my phone is 32B but fastboot tells me its a 32A. I'm unsure exactly how the orig owner flashed this thing.
Fastboot tells me:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-OFF G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP*****)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Am I SOL with this thing? Should I be lucky its even working? Is there something I can do to get the device back to how it should be? I would absolutely love to have it back to stock rogers so that I can pretty much start from scratch.
Thanks for any input!

Hey.
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.
I have:

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
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:
T-Mobile USA MyTouch 3G 1.2/Fender with 3.5 MM Jack
Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

Thank you,

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.

hello all
i intend to upgrade my mt3g from 1.6 to cm6 soon. i am following this guide: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Upgrading_from_CyanogenMod_4.2_to_CyanogenMod_5/6
and i have this phone:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
its a t-mobile mytouch3g.
i have followed all the steps in the guide and stopped at the cm6 install.
my question is: it says i dont need to upgrade my radio. i have no idea how old the guide is and i want to verify before i take the final step that this is still valid.
my other question is: if i need to upgrade anything else before i go for the big upgrade.
Thanks

Your radio is up to date. Should be fine.
thank you for your response.
i don't have that radio, and have been trying to find out where to get it. ive got a tmobile mytouch 3g but my baseband version is 62.505.20.17h_2.22.19.26I.
I'm running cm6, was running cm5 and cm4 before. i rooted long ago, but have never found a way to update those aspects.
How do i upgrade my radio? where do i find the current one?

Dont use ROM manager because there were bricked phones, only froyo for magic is CYnaogenmod which works way worse then then Stock rogers rom adn you have to downgrade you radio and spl which will lower your signal so stick with Stock ROM or install Rooted Stock rom from Capy
