Hi people!
I bought couple of days ago HTC magic which is bought from Vodafone. I never have had a android phone and the whole android world is still new to me.
The first owner said there is some custom bootloader installed and this is 32B phone?
Baseband version
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Mod version is:
CM6-FroyoRedux 2.0
I dont like this rom bicouse i think its not best rom for me. I have had a lot of windows mobile phones and this forum and custom roms for windows are familiar but this android world seems to be little bit diffrent. Is there things what i should know before i do anything? I want new rom which is stable, fast and simple. I dont need many programmes installed allready etc. in my rom now this cant connect to android market and it is kind of stypid so i need new rom but first i need to know how it is possible so tell me some things about this
Is it only possible to me to install 32B roms which i didint see very much in that rom section :/
EDIT: Tell me which roms are possible to me to install?
Somebody can tell me something?
Before you install a custom ROM in your HTC Magic you need to do a few small steps. I did them based in the tutorial from cyanogenmod
How do I root & install CyanogenMod?
HTC Magic see How to determine if you have 32A or 32B
HTC Magic 32A Users: HTC Magic (32A): Rooting
HTC Magic 32B Users: HTC Magic (32B): Rooting
myTouch3G 1.2 / Fender LE (3.5mm jack) Users: TMobile myTouch Fender/1.2: Rooting
It seams your friend told you it was a 32B version but since you're not sure follow the steps in that tutorial. There you can find what you need in order to proceed. Since you said you already have a custom ROM you won't need to root again (since it should be already rooted). Therefore is just needed for you to determine the version, radio and then you can download and apply the ROM you want. If you need to root just follow the instructions in the wiki link i gave at start.
There are ROMs that are for both versions but it is because someone ported them to the other version. What i want to say is that a HTC Magic 32A can only get 32A ROMs and a 32B only get 32B ROMs. You can check at the topic of the ROM you want the version that the ROM is for. 32A version ROMs sometimes are radio-specific.
you can see at the topics:
[ROM][32A] ... -> is for 32A (most likely old radio but enter to check)
[HTC Magic] [32A] [NR] [6.35] ... -> is for 32A NewRadio (6.35)
[ROM][6.35] ... -> for version 32A NR
[ROM][32A][3.22] ... -> for version 32A old radio
[ROM][32b] ... -> for version 32B
[Rom][32a][32b][3.22][6.35] ... -> for both versions and for both radios
you got what you need?
32b myTouch 3g 2.2.1
Cyanogen Nightly 271
Hboot - 1.33.0006
Radio - 2.22.19.26i
Kernel - 2.6.35.9
ADW 1.3.3
ClockworkMod Recovery

Hello,
I have a HTC MAGIC 32A and i can't download The offical HTC Magic Sense UI Rom. When I Use serial code it said it is not suitable for my device. So can any one please download the file for me and upload it on megaupload or rapidshare?
I really like Sense UI a lot more than android home.

Is your provider european ?
What version do you have ?
Is your phone rooted ?
Some basic guides and reading to get up to par with all the terminology and procedures.

Yes it is european, the phone is rooted, and the software version is 1.5
Then go for a custom rom and not the RUU.
Have you flashed your boot and radio to the latest version ?
If you like 1.5 .. get CursorSense with SenseUi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
If you want to try 2.1 get SuperHero (also with SenseUI)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642393
Both require new boot (1.76.2007) radio (6.35.xxx.xxx)
I am a bit afraid to update radio and boot. Besides I never actually thought of updatigng them( Im a Newbie). Is it safe? More or less?
Share your phones info, EVERYTHING in the fastboot menu and we'll help you. It's easy to update the radio and hboot as long as you follow instructions.
Saphire PVT 32A
HBOOT 1.33.0009
CPLD-12
Radio-3.22.20.17
I would still lik that someone would dowlnoad the newest RUU with Sense UI from HTC

If you ever plan to use a custom rom you can kiss it goodbye that RUU upgrade has a perfected spl so you will be stuck on Stock roms only.
If you still want it check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621415

Okay so I installed custom rom with 2.1 Sense UI, best looking theme I ever seen, just needs a bit optimisation. Thanks for all the help
Cheers!
I am sick of flashing/waiting for a port.
I know you can do this with the dream as I have done it I want to know if you can do it with the magic.
I look and I am all confused now.
I have:
Sapphire PVT 32a ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT 1.33.2010
Radio 3.22.20.17
Using Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1
I want to continue using Clockwork but don't want to use the ports any more.
Can someone point me in the correct direction.
Thanks

OK you have unlocked SPL and stuff, for magic there are few roms in development section to chose from (sense and sensless). If you want sense ROM it is 2.1 android version and you need Eyegor's radio switcher to switch to 6.xx radio and 1.76 spl and hero recover to install it, but if you want 2.2.1 adnroid version you can flash senseless roms for 32b magic and flash cyanogen kernel to work on your 32a magic. It is your choice which you will install.
Thanks but that isn't exactly what I meant.
I want to use the cyanogen nightlies and others that are in the dream form but I don't want the extra step where you flash the port.
I did this with my dream and I wanted to know if you can do the same for the magic.

Why would you use port????? You have original Rogers sense rom 2.1 android and MyTouch nonsense rom 2.2.1 android. Both are made only for magic no port, MyTouch is for dream too, i noticed that dream adn 32b magic have same specs
Well, I managed to do something which I regret profusely now.
When I heard that the HTC Magic was getting an official update I thought that it would have been a fast, optimised Froyo experience. Boy was I wrong.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that can't open the messaging application without closing the homescreen process and the old methods to root my phone no longer work.
And to top it off, I wanted to use CyanogenMod 4 since 1.6 runs the best on my phone, yet I don't know if I can do that anymore since the update also changed the radio and I think the SPL.
So, long story short, how can I get a 1.6 ROM on this phone now?
Also an unimportant question, would Replicant still work on this phone if it has the new radio?
Is there no one who can help with this?
I was just wondering what ROMs are compatible with the new radio and SPL.
They're 2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013 respectively, I'm pretty sure they are anyway.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932118
for 32b you need SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08 just flash normal ginger yoshi
Another compatible rom
All you need is get root and flash custom recovery, then rom through recovery...
so,1st i want to apologize if the answers im seeking were already posted but ive been searching the forum for some time an i could not find exactly what i needed..
here it goes:
i have an htc my touch 3g (t-mobile europe i guess) it came with froyo 2.2.1 but i wanted to instal cumstom roms so after extensive research ive manage to root it..donwgrade to 1.5 ,upgrade to 1.6 with hboot - 1.33.0013d and radio - 2.22.27.08 (sapphire pvt 32B ship s-on G)
now i kinda figured that i cand flash a 2.2 rom on a 1.6 or at least i think i cant..
I managed to get a few 1.6 roms to work(the most stable is dwangs s&s 1.11 stock rom) a few other worked but not that good..
my problem is: what do i need to get back to (at least)2.2
if posible please tell me what exactly i need to use to make it work..what radio/hboot..
sorry again if i was a true noob on my 1st post )

If you have custom recovery (AmonRa 1.7.0 G or ClockworkMod Recovery), then you just need flash gingeryoshi via it, cause your Info already matches with requirements. Wipe data/factory reset before process...
p.s. Custom ROMs contain only system and boot images. It is safe to change custom ROM. Even if you will flash incompatible custom Rom, your phone will not load, but recovery, hboot and radio will remain and you able to flash any other custom ROM.
In very rare cases devs include radio or recovery image in custom ROM, but it is exception. True devs don't do that.
i have RA 1.2.0G if i remember corectly i could not flash the 1.7.0..so why cant i flash the roms with 1.2.0?
just rememberd i tried to flash some time ago cm 6/fy/gy a couple of times and every time i got bootloop..could be because i have ra1.2.0G instead of 1.7.0G ?
come on guys,no one can give me some exact pointers?
Flash official RUU: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
Then get root (via SuperOneClick) and flash custom recovery 1.7.0 G
p.s. Probably, recovery 1.2.0 G has old install-method and not compatible with new format (tags "update script")
Hey gents. My dad has had his Magic for a couple of years now and lately it's become quite slow using the official Roger 2.1 build. I offered to update it to whatever the community has created. I've never done this before so I started with Cyanogen mod. I basically followed the directions here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio) downgraded the radio, rooted the phone and installed recovery. I then installed Cyanogenmod 6.1 which is latest for HTC Magic (wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_version#MagicCM6). Unfortunately Cyanogenmod is very flakey. Everythign is quite slow and trying to access the Maps crashes the phone and so does trying to access the ROM Manager.
Here's the info the phone displays during fastboot:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Should I upgrade the radio back to 6.35? Where can I find a stable 2.2 or 2.3 ROM? Is there anything else you guys can recommend?
Thanks!
i recommend carz android 2.3 rom for 6.35 radio
stable and fast.
but i have not tried the new rom's that emerged 'recently'

Thanks blizard80, is this the one: db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?developerid=2245#684?
Maybe a noob question but what's the difference between carz recover and say Amon_Ra Hero recovery that installed during the rooting process?
Thanks!
