when i tried "fastboot boot recovery-new.img" the cmd said
"downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY"
after that the device's screen change from bootloader screen to "hami" screen (with something orange apple icon) and stuck there. T_T (wanna cryy..)
any one have solution for this? thank you very much in advance

Same here
Exactly the save versions as yours.
I got one from Vodacom in South Africa yesterday, and none of the rooting guides seem to work. I'm really only interested in "tethering" with my phone, as I'm often on the road with my laptop and haven't had a need to buy a second modem just yet. Was hoping I could use the Magic in the same way I used my Nokia.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried PDANet yet?

I had same problem , how i solve is to download the recovery.img and the update.zip from the following , you cannot use standard version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523913
you must ensure that you use update.zip from here else after the update you won't be able to start up.
first do download both
daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip and daldroid-recovery.img
and copy both to the sdcard follow same step
rename daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip to update.zip
restart in fast boot mode , and run command.
fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img
hope this help.

Your HTC Magic is different than the HTC Magic from Vodafone.
HTC Magic from Rogers US, TIM Italy, 3 Scandinavia, Vodacom South Africa and more are the original HTC Magics from HTC - they have different SPL, Kernel.
So you can only root through the metod as stated above - Daldroid made it possible.
For the time beeing you can´t flash other roms than Daldroid´s with root, without trouble.

Incidentally, it seems that the Rogers Magic is quite a bit similar to this one...
The Rogers HTC Magic reports the following on the fastboot screen:

Not sure if daldroid's method will work on the rogers one.... there is a bit of a difference in the model number.

You can follow the progress on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517948&page=22.
A rogers user reported success flashing his ROM.
go to the latest (as of current time) posts on the thread.
One user reported he successfully flashed a rom, but he had to change the SPL. As Rogers stock SPL and radio are newer than the flashed one, furthermore no spl image is available to restore the original, I suggest to follow the thread and verify the progress with a second user I asked to make some test.
I don't have Rogers myself, cannot test it for you.

Can anybody help ive followed all the magic rooting tutorials but when i enter fastboot boot recovery-new.img into terminal i get the following message "cannot load boot-new.img" i have all the drivers installed and have followed the wiki exact plus ive read every page of the rooting thread in the development page and searched the rest of this forum i have a uk vodaphone magic, cheers inadvanced

Alright, so here's what I've done so far.
-Grabbed Daldroid's "daldroid-recovery.img" and the signed rom, which was renamed to "update.zip".
-Copied both onto my SD card.
-Fastbooted my Rogers Magic using "fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img"
-Performed a Nandroid backup
-Wiped the data
-Applied the "update.zip"
-Rebooted
I got the Rogers screen, then the HTC Magic screen, then the HTC chiming screen where it made me wait for a bit. Buttons flashed and voila, I am booted into a different rom (no Rogers crap).
I confirmed that after flashing, my device info still says HBOOT-1.33.0009. At no point did I attempt to flash Haykuro's SPL or change the radio, as it's still 3.22.20.17.
I think I'm doing things right, so hopefully this info helps
Edit: Tried flashing QTeknology's Optimized Hero Rom, and it hung on the Rogers screen for a long time (waited at least 5 min), but was able to revert to the Daldroid rom.
Edit2: It's the same situation for other roms, like nk02's ported Rogers rom. It looks like .0009 is a no-go.

I confirm that your rom version is working great on rogers htc magic. I have yet to test the wifi but rest is working great.

WIFI is also working. The phone works perfectly with this daldroid ROM.

damn...
i can't believe i'm this unlucky.
My phone is a brick at the moment and i need those images to try but megaupload is DOWN ! ! !
Does anyone of you have backup and can upload it to rapidshare? please?

Can't upload an official Rom Update to my phone

Couldn't find an appropriate, excising topic. If there is one, the could someone link me to it? I was searching, but didn't find it.
So...
htc.com/au/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=272&cat=2&dl_id=896
They say:
This ROM Upgrade for your HTC Magic will let you experience HTC SenseTM on your phone. HTC SenseTM

So does that mean our Magic can have the fancy user interface of HTC Hero officially now?
I'd download it and find out for myself, but eventually over there, on the bottom, where it says: "Enter your Serial Number:" it gives me:
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"
1. Any idea why? Could that be because I am going to a AU website for a US phone? =) If yes, then is there any way to go around it and still get that fancy Hero look?
2. I also can't even sync with the HTC Sync. It says "disconnected" all the time
More info about my case:
- My phone is T-Mobile HTC MyTouch 3G (unlocked and used with AT&T)
- I am running Windows 7 on my computer

When I am typing "adb devices" in command prompt I do get my serial number, so I guess my drivers are installed fine. Although it is kind of funky in Device Manager. There is a "HTC Android Phone USB Device" under "Disk drives" and there is "H:\" under "Portable Devices" which says "Android Phone" when going to right click>properties>details. I guess this still works.

Any thoughts?
Greatly appreciated...

supposedly the htc drivers work better than the default android/google drivers.. google to find them..
and yes your right it wont work because its the australian update, and its for a different device, magics are different than mytouchs (hardware wise)..tmo didnt get a sense update for the mytouch ... there are some 32B sense roms, if you root your phone, but i think all are based on 2.1 and are pretty crappy... best thing is to wait untill you get an official 2.1 update for the mytouch.. summer i think..
also look in the dream section for sense roms, as the roms for the dream also work for the 32b (mytouch)

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
There is no drivers or anything of that sort for HTC MyTouch 3G on the HTC website:
htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g/downloads/
Can you (or someone else) help with this? Can you guys guide me or link me to a proper download?
Thanks...

What digitaljeff is trying to say here is that there isn't any official downloads for your version of the HTC Magic.
Any update concerning your device will or should be provided by T-Mobile when it's ready. As of now..there is none.
See this link:
http://androidandme.com/2010/01/phones/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-users-to-get-android-2-1-this-spring/
Your other option of "upgrading" would be by gaining root access on your device and programming it with a custom rom.
There are a lot of guides covering this matter in these forums.
See this for a wiki guide:

NOOB!! trying to root my g1 LOTS OF TROUBLE
ok so the FARTHEST ive gotten is getting to a custom recovery image thing after i downgraded to RC29. I flashed it in telnet and the recovery screen will not let me install anything from the sdcard. Ive tried to flash a new recovery image since i read someone else having the same problem did that but when i try to flash the recovery image it doesnt work. I tried it in Telnet and Terminal Emulator. In terminal emulator when i type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/(image name)
Permission denied
I tried an su command as suggested but su was denied as well...my phone is really effed up and im stuck in RC29 which is reall suckish since nothing works.
PLEASE...anything will help.... thankkssss!!

upgrade from an unknown software version..[mytouch3g tmobile]

Hi all, I am helping my friend upgrade her mytouch 3g to froyo after reading the guide listed on this page. However, I am extremely confused by what version of android she has in her phone.
The baseband is listed is 62.50sc.20.17u-2.22.23.02
kernel is at 2.6.29-g023e5c9
build number at 2.10.531.4.
Is this DR92 supposed to be? I searched all over the internet and can't figure out what these information match to. I think it should be before DMD64 but when i tried applying the DR92 to DMD64 update. It says siganiture failure too. So this means it's even before DR92. But it is 1.6 firmware as reported in the system..
Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Turn the phone off, and then turn on by holding Volume down key and power and then write here what are phone specs

Thanks for the help! Though I am surprised to see it's 32A. shouldn't all tmobile products be 32B?

not necessarily if its the black mytouch then its a 32A idk y lol i have white one n its a 32B (this is just my opinion )

Well they imported google branded htc magics both 32a and 32b, so i dont know if you can do OTA update,but you can root phone and install rooted OTA with cm ported kernel for 32a

Is rooting the only way available? Since it's not my phone, I don't really want messing it up.. thanks.

As i said idk, I think it is because Tmobile only did update 32b magic and dream. You can mess up the phone cuz you just cant if you do all things right.
go to www.theunlockr.com adn find in how to's section phone and you have 1 click root.then install recovery and after that install ROM. If you do have probs PM me.

I can't find an RUU that matches your CustomerID which means your only option is to make a goldcard (unless someone see's something I'm missing). Do you not have a friend with a phone running Android that you could borrow?
