You've got the new 32B radio which a lot of ROM's don't support. After flashing CM you need to also flash the 2708 kernel patch. Search for ezterry on here, download his kernel, put it on your SD card along with CM 6.1 and the Google Apps Add-on, boot into recovery, wipe system/cache/dalvik-cache, and finally flash the 3 files from above. Make sure you flash the 2708 kernel AFTER flashing CM 6.1.

i'm having Android system recovery <2e>
and i can get in fastboot
i can boot the phone but i cant do anything with it (becauce of unoficial sim card)
could some one help me please?

Google the APN settings for whatever carrier the SIM card is with. At the Google activation screen, hit menu, then wireless networks, then "Access Point Names". Either edit the existing entry to match the settings for your carrier or add a new for your carrier.

Thanks.. but
Thank you very much DonJuan
i get it worked and at least i can use it like a Phone
i try to root it with one click root but superuser permisions dont work,because of that i cant install clockwork recovery trought ROMmanager (it says An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands)
maybe i need to try another rooting metod or something..

Try using SuperOneClick. You may need to install superuser from the market after running it.

Installing roms

Can someone give me a link or explenation how to install a new rom on my htc magic?
Like how to root, etc etc?
(searched but cant find anything easy :s)

Well, you've certainly come to the right place.
As I've no idea what stage you are at, I'd say a good starting point is discovering what your magic is - turn it off, depress back button while starting phone.
Then begin your searching based upon that info......

I rooted mine following the cyanogenmod wiki. Knew nothing when I did and it worked out fine.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com (still can't post links)
By far, the easiest I've encountered. Still, feel free to ask questions about any of the steps and I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd love to help.

I have a 32A with radio 3.22.20.17 and Hboot 1.33.0009
(Sapp 10000)
I've installed the android SDK and the USB thing, I have a Magic from belgium (proximus) that shoudn't need to bee rooted.
So the only thing i need to know now is what do i need to install before i can instal a new rom and ho do i ionstall other radio+rom,
thank you

make sure you have all files on sd, and computer.
and have recovery etc.
follow the steps and double check it.

You need recovery on your phone and the right radio/hboot. Once you have these the ROM BIBLE on here very useful.
Read everything carefully and don't rush into anything, as the wrong combinations of rom/radio/hboot can easily brick your phone.
With recovery on your phone, and the right radio/hboot, flashing the rom itself via recovery is fairly easy.
You download the rom to your pc, enter recovery and wipe your phone, move your new rom onto the sd card via pc or usb, then flash it onto your phone from the sd card. Obviously there's more to it (such as backing up and more wiping etc) and more detailed explanations are available on this site - this is just to give you an idea of what's required.
The links in Mumilover's signature proved extremely useful to me(see my flashrec confusion post), might be worth you looking having a look to see if any are of use to you as well. Good luck.

Wow, no need for rooting! Have you tried installing a custom recovery image yet? Don't use ClockworkMod as they appear to have problems with 32A magics. Apparently, (according the cyanogenmod wiki) all you have to do is boot into fastboot and type a few things into cmd. BTW, you might have to type in the entire directory of the "recovery.img" you use when you use fastboot. (even if it's in the same folder as fastboot) I'm a noob so it took me a half hour to figure that out.

How to get into fastboot and what do i have to type in cmd?

Go to wiki.cyanogenmod.com and find the step by step process for your specs. If you get the "remote:not allow" message while flashing a recovery then you're probably going to have to change your spl

I know there different methods out there, which I can't speak off, excuse me being biased but I have to say mumilovers fastboot commander was amazingly easy for me. In your case use the fastboot commander (magic version) in his signature. You simply download the commander, connect your phone via usb and enter fastboot (turn off phone, depress back button while starting phone up). You then have the ability via the commander to add recovery, change radio and change spl in simple clicks. Please note s-off/eng hboot is required (which you will find details of in fastboot) - which is why I can't use it anymore!!
you then can go off and change roms

Having trouble installing clockwork recovery

My phone was made s-off via xtc clip.
It's rooted with superoneclick (couldn't get unrevoked to work).
ROM Manager is in the superuser list and has been granted root access.
In ROM Manager I click "flash clockworkmod recovery", select "HTC Buzz (Wildfire)" and it says "successfully downloaded clockworkmod recovery".
But every time I click "reboot into recovery" I just get a black screen with a phone in the middle and a red triangle.
I then have to remove the battery to get the phone back on.
Any ideas folks ?

I read somewhere that the current version of ROM manager doesn't work with Android 2.2.
Is this right ?
I tried an older version and it appeared to try and install clockwork recovery for a few seconds then I got a black screen with a phone and a red question mark.

try flashing custom recovery with PC49IMG process. get the file from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15

and one more thing, if u get issues with flashing custom roms then try to use different version of recovery.
issues like amend scripting.......

Thanks for the reply.
I tried putting the PC49IMG.zip file in the root of the sd card but when I go into HBOOT it says ....
CID incorrect !
Update Fail !
Do I need to do a factory reset ?

CID error after making S-OFF huh ?
U do have another option. Can try an official RUU of ur region with the radio Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25
this gives u hboot 0.80 . Then u can root the phone with unrevoked (use version 3.2).

Would this be ok ?

The one specific for ur region (if it is there) is more preferable. However it will also be ok.
And better get it from shipped roms website if u havent started the download yet.

Thanks for the list.
So, is it just a case of running the exe with my phone connected ?

Sorry, cant go further. That might be due to region. I think there might be ur region RUU in that website there. Don't know completely to solve cid errors. Probably a gold card might be the solution.
But there are solutions for cid errors. Go with this thread (same one as earlier), it might help u. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993102

Thanks again for all your help so far, much appreciated.
I found a multi region RUU with the same kernel as the one I'm on.
Do you think flashing this will allow me to then flash one of the older RUUs ?
Also, if I do this will it make my phone s-on again ?

When ur phone has S-OFF (by xtc clip) u can flash any wildfire RUU of ur region (i mean downgrading hboot is also possible). Yes u can flash older RUU also, that's what u attempted to do with that WWE ruu.
Once u do S-OFF by xtc clip, then u can't get back to S-ON in any way. XTC clip directly wipes off the secure flag in the radio NVRAM. So, AFAIK, there is no way for u (by xtc clip) to get back to S-ON even when u flash an updated hboot.
But alpharev2 (not yet released for wildfire) will patch the hboot to make it think that the secure flag is off. So, if done by alpharev S-OFF is not permanent. When done S-OFF with alpharev, then if u flash an updated hboot, the phone returns to S-ON. This is not the case with u.

Tried the RUU with the same kernel that's on my phone but got the "customer ID error" again.
I'm starting to think something went wrong when they used the xtc clip.
When I get the red triangle in HBOOT, if I press vol up + power I get the message "failed to verify signature".
I thought having s-off was supposed to bypass the signature checks

AFAIK, after S-OFF it should skip the signature check. That is how we can flash the custom recovery through PC49IMG process.
There is a full guide of XTC clip rooting in the development section. If u think something went wrong when they used xtc clip, u might get an answer there. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057524
And also one more link to what we can do after S-OFF here.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13025129&postcount=3
In that try the fastboot flash recovery command. May be a hope

Woo hoo, success !!
I made a goldcard and the RUU installed fine.
I now have Android 2.1 and HBOOT 0.80.0007.
I guess the goldcard is where I was going wrong.
Edit : Just got unrevoked to work first time too.

And now I've got CM7 installed !!!
A very happy bunny.
Many thanks again for the help and advice.
Wouldn't have got it working without this forum.

That's fine.

[NOT CONTINUING MOVED TO X8 THREAD] The most easy S-ON EVER !!

NO LONGER TAKING Q'S. HAVE MOVED TO X8 FORUM!! HI everyone. i have started this thread as i didnt know what to do when i first had to send my wildfire back for repairs. first download the attatched zip. unzip to desktop and make sure u have got the drivers for your bootloader interface already installed. to do this you will need just two things. the zip you have just downloaded and the HBOOT which i included inside the ziped file. once extracted run the java file named S-ON.jar and plug your phone in and turn on fastboot. once connected make sure you click on check connection. once you have done that you should see your serial number appear. okay your ready to go. look for the first tab and click on it. then click on HBOOT/SPL. locate the HBOOT file you inzipped with the S-ON tool and then click it. once done just click on flash HBOOT/SPL. once done you will see it says FLASH HBOOT/SPL/SUCCESS. thanks for takuing time to look at my GUIDE and i hope it helps you. just remember one thing only flash the new HBOOT after you have installed the RUU which is android 2.2.1 so you can root again. and remember you can also get S-OFF again the exact same way
BEFORE you attempt to flash new HBOOT to gain s-on. please click start on your pc then goto run then in the dialog box type CMD. then you will have a pop-up it will be your command promt. in the command promt type
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 then hit enter. then open the s-on tool and flash the new HBOOT. then it will flash without FAIL. sorry for not realising this earlyer. and happy flashing.

comment if you need the bootloader drivers and i will upload them if requested thanks again everyone. and i would like to thank the acctuall creator of the programme thanks again briliant work on all sides.

i wil try it my Wildfire

here are the bootloader interface drivers..
enjoy thank me if this method helped you in your Quest to gain s-on

Did it worked for someone? I need to S-ON my wildfire, because i want to sell it
Edit: The WinRun.bat and LinuxRun.sh are wrong. They call the FastbootCommanderV.1.5.jar file, but they should call S-ON.jar
Question: What is eng hboot in your warning when the programm starts? I have the AlphaRev hboot 6.01.1002, will it work?

yesw i have done it on 5 diff wildfires i GUARENTEE it works mate hit me up on my thanks button

like i said this is not my programme i just found it very usefull to gain s-on. the only other way apart from this is to do it via the command promt on windows. which sucks as only a few people acctually know how to use this method. you dont need any of the linux stuff or win.bat. this method is for windows users only

For windows users only !!
this will only work on windows. wilol not work on linux. i am trying to get the programme to work on linux but to no avail. i will keep on trying but its just not capable of doing it. also please do NOT rename the HBOOT.NbO file if you do rename it then it will not flash and will not work.

i tried it, but when i will flash the hboot, i get this error:
Flashing "hboot" - PLEASE WAIT.
"hboot" flash FAILURE.
The device shows me: not roll back hboot version

DO NOT rename the file.
if you rename the file you will get a error. also make sure u have put your phone back to the stock RUU that is android 2.2.1 BEFORE you try this method

These are the RUU you need
go to this site and download the RUU that is used for your phone okay. go to this link and download the one for your phone. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz

i have done this. my phone has 2.2.1 stock and i did not rename the file.
I think, i cant flash the hboot, because the alpharevx hbootversion is higher than the stock hboot...i think i read it somewhere...

no thats wrong the other way it to push it to the phone using fastboot and windows command prompt. this is the only 2 ways of gaining s-on again. trust me i have done it on my wildfire and 5 others and worked 1st time everytime

i will be shortly taking a video of me using this programme to gain s-on then you will all be able to see it working. it will not be untill my partner gets home but asoon as its uploaded i will share the url and let you all see that this way works 100% it is maybe somthing you are doing wrong ???? have you unzipped it to a sub fol;der on your desktop ????? and did you run it as admin ?? and if yes to them both. did you 1.rename the HBOOT file ?? or 2. did you move it out of the unzipped folder ???/

i trust you, but it get an error xD
edit: yes...i am an informatic specialist..i should know, what i should do and not..

lol. i dont know what to suggest then. it is odd because it has work flawlessly everythime i have flashed HBOOT/SPL. hmm i dont know then. i have done this method over 15 times to my own wildfire just to make sure it work 100% and could be used by other people. it has worked with alpharevx HBOOT and revelutionarys HBOOT which are both 6.01.1002 so its really weird it never worked for you :S

Strange...
An idea: I have the hboot from alpharevx from a very early closed irc beta. maybe this hboot is in some way locked. Can i flash the hboot with revolutionary again and use your tool? maybe the revolutionary hboot is different to the early closed irc beta :/

aslong as you know what your doing yes. it is possible. if you can get the revelutionary HBOOT then it will flash. then you should be able to flash the s-on HBOOT no problem

revolutionary dont let me flash their hboot -.- they say, i already s-off, so no flash needed -.-
ah i see, you said "if i can get the revolutionary hboot"...yep, i dont think, i can get the hboot
do you know the commands for flash the hboot manually?

do you know how to use command promt in windows ????

magic 32b recovery

hey guys everytime i try to flash a recovery in fastboot it comes up
FAILED (remote: not allow)
is there away to fix this issue as most of the spl eng files are no longer downloadable due to sites being closed

You... don't flash it in fastboot? Just a suggestion

Do I not? How do I flash it then as I only have stock recovery?

1. Get root
2. Install rom manager
3. Try to flash recovery from list
P.s. in extra cases there is trouble with flashing recovery through rom manager, so you have to flash it manually (read one of sticked topics in general section)
