hello guys,
as in topic.... i have a stock HTC Magic from Vodafone. Build number is DRC92.. 32B
I'm really tired of waiting for Vodafone to update to 2.2 and keep on reading about the MyTouch Froyo..
Has anyone tried to flash Magic with the MyTouch Froyo update?? I understand that MT3g has a higher buil DMD64 or sth, and am afraid to try before confirming its gonna work...
please help, i'm reallyfed up with not being able to use latest apps and i dont really want to mess up wth custom roms (i like it clean and stock)
thanks in advance
m.
update:
i couldn't wait. tried to load the files from the thread on this forum
did not work (9 files not signed in the first file, did not flash)
knowing the mt3g had one more update than my magic (dmd64 vs frg92 or sth similar), i tried to update mine to dmd64. i found the package somewhere, but it did not flash (same thing, unsigned files)...
i guess i have to wait for vodafone's mercy...
or anyone's got any experience / ideas?

Hey,
i recently bought a htc magic but the previous owner had put the hero rom on it.
Now i want to update to android 1.6 but OTA doesn't work (duh )
I tried to flash with an original rom i found on this forums but then my phone didn't want to boot over the first bootscreen...
I fixed the problem eventualy but now i'm back where i started my magic with the hero rom
Is there anyone that can provide me with the original proximus (belgium) rom ?
thx in advance
ps: every tip on how to do it without the proximus rom that won't brick my phone are welcome
ps2: i'm a complete newbie at flashing roms btw , learned a bit by reading some topics here and the sapphire hacking wiki but count me in as a noob
I have an HTC Magic, also from Proximus.
On this forum there is a user called GyD who helped me out with some things and also has a ROM out based on the Proximus ROM if i'm not mistaken.
Maybe he still has the original ROM somewhere. I lost mine so i'm sorry.
Btw: is there a reason why you want to go back to the Proximus ROM? If it's for 1.6 donut could just as easily install a 1.6 ROM like cyanogenmod 4.1.9999

Mr Hubris
I want to go back to the stock rom just for 1.6 and because the rom now has some issues i think like no auto brightness and stuff like that.
What rom do you use now ? and does it run smooth on your phone?
grtz
I'm currently running [ROM](32A / 32B) Hero3G UNI Final.
It's running very smooth on my phone as a matter of fact.
I'm just having two issues with it at this point:
My bluetooth carkit (Parot) does not work. It connects and pairs but the Parot says it has no signal. The phone on the otherhand has no problems with the signal. My Parot can't sync my contacts to itself and because of this i can't call using the carkit.
I can sync with my exchange server at work when connected to the company network but every time when i sync it starts complaining about a security certificate that is not installed. No one could tell me how i install this. There is an option to add a certificate but it doesn't detect them on your phone... Sync does work after pressing continue a couple of times (using Touchdown is not considered a solution, merely a workaround)
Gr
Mr Hubris
Hmm sounds good, i don't have a bluetooth carkit and the exchange of my school well .... i still got a laptop
i'll check it out
thx mr hubris
Hero 3g UNI is awesome foe a Hero ROM but it is 1.5! For a moded 1.6 Cyanogen is by far the best and everyone makes themes for it so you can switch the look whenever you want. If you are on a 32A devise MAKE SURE YOU FLASH A 32A ROM!
Does somebody know if it would be possible to update my htc hero rom fitted magic with the (maybe later released) official htc 1.6android with sense ui, or will i have to flash it back to a magic rom or something?
@ x-i-phoner : jup learned it the hard way , btw i read somewhere that i will need to flash radio and SPL just to get the 1.6? and if so is this easily done?

Hi mrhubris, i wanne give you a backup of my BE Proxiums Magic, this are my phones specs:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009, 21:02:32
just one question: what is the procedure for backing up a Magic ?
greetings,
Hi, I know this topic is a bit old but if you still want the ROM I have a nandroid backup of the stock rom(same like the guy above me posted, HTC Magic from Proximus), however it already has a bunch of extra apps installed and my personal data on it. But if you want it I can restore the backup, factory reset and make a new backup for you. Just send me a PM or something.
Im sort of new to android and dont really know much about these things but I want to upgrade my phone from crappy 1.5 to like Eclair or Sense UI or anything other than 1.5 (I hate it)
P.S.
I had a dream before and I tried to flash a rom and it bricked so is there like a Rom for the magic for rogers that is safe, like for sure?
Thanks

Yes, you can root your phone. Try to include detailed information about your phone so people can give you specific information regarding your phone and even give you some links.
For example, use a signature such as:
Sapphire HTC Magic 32A
RADIO-3.22.20.17
ROM-CyanogenMod 4.2.13
RECOVERY-Amon RA v1.5.2H
THEME-n/a
LOCK SCREEN-default
SD CARD-8GB 512mb:EXT3 / 32mb LinuxSwap / Remainder Fat32
Okay thnx, so can u tell me any roms for the htc magic that are safe
All are safe. How exactly did you brick you're Dream...?
I flashed a htc hero rom and then i couldnt turn it on anymore or go to recovery, but I have another question do I need a special SPL to be able to flash roms or is any fine
Sense Ui for Rogers Magic
Hello Everyone,
Well since you want to know when your Magic will get the sense ui or hasn't gotten it yet is that they still are working on it. Check this link out: http://simflecks.com/?tag=rogers
The post is quite recent and even right now they still are going to release it. Things got delayed to the device problem of 911 not working with gps feature on.
Hmm.. this topic somehow doesn't seem to belong in the "Themes & Wallpapers" forum.
Better go to the General forum, or if you want support for a specific upgrade/rom you can go here and post in the desired update/rom thread.
Now, since you posted your question: if you want SenseUI running on 2.1 you'll have to wait a bit because the source or rom image is not available yet. There are some experimental roms available, but I doubt they are for everyday use (some things are still not working). You can however run vanilla 1.6 if you want a higher and stable Android version, but it won't come with SenseUI. Vanilla Eclair is also an option, but currently not as stable as 1.6 (same reason, no 2.1 source/rom image/drivers made available yet), but they are getting there.
u can have a sense ui running on 1.5, if you are only concerned with how it looks. Just flash the cursorsence rom, if u have 32a phone. ensure u dont have a perfect spl. If you did the rogers dream->magic switch, likely you have a 32a phone with 1.33.0010 perfect spl. you must get rid of this first.
here's some links to help you out as i did this process yesterday. took me a helluva long time.
Goldcard Method
Fix perfected spl using this goldcard
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT RADIO AND SPL!!!!!.
Radio and spl upgrade
Cursorsence
I have a Rogers HTC Magic. I haven't upgraded the SPL or the Radio. I'm currently running "[ROM] [32A] Android 1.6 Super Stable & Super Fast... [FEB 10th] Old Radio" for everyday use and it works great.
If your are really new at this, go to theunlockr dot com. Scroll down a little and you'll see a drop box called "Select a Category" select HTC MyTouch 3G/Magic, scroll down again. You'll see 2 video links for "How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!" and "How To: Load a Custom ROM on Your HTC Magic".
Good Luck

With any post with phone Q&A, please provide some phone specs; SPL, radio, etc.
If your phone can be rooted, there are some guides on the forums on how to root; http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking -- and apply a 1.6 ROM, a good one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633780 but this is for the old radio.
If your phone can not be rooted then you have to wait till HTC releases 2.1 and then root your phone with a rooted update to apply a standard 2.1 ROM without sense.
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
Hi all
First post here, read alot though.
I have a magic which was running a 2.1 rom and now running cyanogen 2.2 rom.
Both were slow and now its got to the point where i avoid txting cause the keyboard disappears and doing stuff on my phone as its so slow.
Im looking for solutions to this.. they may come in either a form of recommendation from a magic user with a fast older rom.. but preferably i would like to go back to stock and then maybe sell it.
I lost my original nandroid backup when shifting computers.
But i have another identical magic from my workmate that is untouched that i could make a copy of and place on the slow one if its possible and someone could tell me how.
Semi new to android rom'ing but been in IT for years and now work for Vodafone. So will be able to follow any instructions.
NZ Vodafone HTC Magic 32b
Thanks in advance

Anyone able to help me with this?
Thanks
Wolfsta
That phone is just slow in general
On my magic I have amen ra's latest recovery and a rooted version of the official tmobile ota froyo update its somewhere in the androind development part for mytouch. Amen ras new recovery alows you to partition the sd card so you can you can put more swap memory I put 92 and 512. And it also helps if you overclock and manage your running programs.
Sometimes if you don't flash the rom right it makes it run slow too
