From the Android Community blog:
Vodafone UK has begun the release of its Android 2.2.1 update for the HTC Magic. According to the company’s forum, the Magic Froyo update will be a two-stage OTA affair: one update to prep the phone, and the second to actually install Android 2.2.1.
The update’s release will be staggered, so you’ll have to wait for your Magic to flag up that new software is available; there doesn’t appear to be a way to manually trigger the install. Still, we’re glad to see that the ageing Magic hasn’t been left out in the cold.
“Android 2.2.1 will give customers a number of improvements including: latest Gmail and Android Market clients; ability to save applications directly onto an SD card; support for USB tethering so the phone can be used as a modem; improved support for Active Sync Exchange (email, contacts and calendar sync); enhancements to Bluetooth; and enhancements to the camera. The update also includes the latest Google security patches.”

No, is a Sapphire 3B. Exactly the same hardware than My Touch 3G in America.
Hopefully someone can check their log cat for the URL, or extract the update.zips from /cache before upgrading.
This if this is an OTA it will not have an ruu.. but it is interesting to see if we get yet another radio or if there is any changes from the tmobile image.

Hi,
is it possible to restore an original 1.6 backup over HBOOT 1.33.0013d and
RADIO 2.22.27.08 to catch the ota?
Thanks

You will need the old radio + old rom (you can keep 1.33.0013d it will prob. block the actual install but with some hackery in /cache using exploid or androot you could make it work. To get the files.
The problem from my point of view is its not exactly trivial and I don't have the same hardware.
Chances are the 1st part is 1.33.0013 like the t-mobile update, and the second part the 2.2.1 update. But maybe they have another spl for us.

I can do it following your post, isn't it?
Sapphire (MT3G)
1) Download SAPPIMG.nbh
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh SAPPIMG.nbh'
3) Continue as per one click (flashreq) root instructions:......

For steps 1&2:
If you have 1.33.0013d yes just make sure its the Vodafone nbh otherwise the update won't be fetched.
This will install the original spl + radio + rom + recovery
As for step3.. you want root to poke things but best to leave recovery alone.. androot or exploid are your better bets.
Mind you once you upgrade I can't promise you can re-root (likely the method used on the t-mobile phone will work but androot/exploid are patched iun 2.2.1)

You have to rename it to update.zip and after that install it with bootloader (turn your phone off and turn it on with [Volume Down] + [ON/OFF] ).

hi all
i've magic vodafone with a perfect spl, with the normal way to root not work...
can someone help me or tell us how to have root with my magic?
thanks so much
i don't know anything about the vodafone version, but my Rogers version (1.33.0010 Perfect SPL) got rooted just fine with the one click root (http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/). Download the .apk, copy onto your SD card, and open it using Astro/Linda File manager. Then in the program backup your current ROM, then flash using either the default Cyanogen Recovery ROM (already in the the text box) or with the one you want (type in the path to the other Recovery ROM).

Don't see why it wouldn't be. They're both HTC Magic's. Either 32B or 32A. Either way, there's recovery ROMs for it. Read that RyeBrye link in my previous post, has a lot of good information.
http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
I know one click root works for the 1.33.0010 SPL, which is a perfected SPL. Assume it works for other Perfect SPLs.
Go ahead with it, it works
Just remember to backup your originar recovery before flashing the new one: you will need to flash it back if you send your handset to HTC for repair.

thank's so much for your help...but this guide, its very hard to understand for me....not for language, but for what to do with htc magic.....
So it seems that for the MT3G this SPL cannot be rooted. I was hoping to shake this up abit since no info has come up yet new for this and I know a couple of people who have this same SPL. I am willing to donate $20 to anyone who can find a way to root this. I know its not alot but its something.
Yes its on 1.6, tried various .nbh files and .zip files as listed in the forum with a gold card. Please dont flame, I just want to enjoy a rooted MT3G.
sorry, i'm not entirely familiar with this problem: what doesn't work - can you flash something like Engineering SPL1.33.2010 onto it? what happens when you try flashing a recovery via flashrec?
I started with "Hboot-1.33.0007(SAPP10000)" and now i have EngineeringSPL + Cyanogen, an other Splash than the vodafone one ... So why shouldn´t this be possible?

I have tried the following methods...
sappimg.zip + goldcard
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
SAPPIMG.nbh
Main Version is older!
I cannot use flashrec.apk for obvious reasons, I always get an error since I'm on 1.6. Anyone got any better suggestions?
@skhell: Reboot for you "Engineering SPL 1.33.2005"
If you are on Android 1.6 - flash sappimg.nbh with Android 1.5 first. The one you need can be found in this forum. Search for the post with this title:
"sappimg.nbh for Vodafone PVT 32B Devices"
(sorry, I am not allowed to post any links apparently )
It's a Vodafone image with spl 1.33.0007 - so it's same as yours, and it will flash with no errors - no gold card needed.
Then use one click method as decribed in theunlockr.com or elsewhere.
Then you can flash "Engineering SPL 1.33.2005"
It worked very well with my HTC Magic from Vodafone Germany

I have the exact same hboot info on a replacement MT3G running factory 1.6 build DRC92.
From what I have read it is unrootable at this time. Others have said that we have to wait for a later build with a non-perfect SPL.
1.33.0007 is a perfect SPL, which normally isnt a problem, but combining that with the DRC92 build makes it troublesome.

Downgraded with right nbh (sappimg.nbh), then installed flashrec.apk ... With that app i get a modified recovery-image installed and then i could flash rom/spl with modified recovery
Really easy
Kind of off topic, but I'm picking up a MT3G this weekend, and I didn't know there's such a thing as unrootable. Is this true? I thought they've all been figured out by now.
Supposedly there isnt such a thing as an unrootable MT3G but I sure am stuck.
I root'd my original MT3G but ended up with a replacement that I just cant get root on.
I think I am going to start a new thread. Apparently I overlooked that the thread was corrected to read 2007, not 0007.
In any case I get same errors, incorrect model id, main version older, etc.
People say they used sappimg.nbh to root the 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000) DRC92 but no one ever posts a link to the sappimg.nbh that they used. There are more than one out there, just in case people didnt notice that.
I have tried roughly 10 different .nbh's, made sure the md5 matched when applicable, tried each with and without the Goldcard, and even found the default recovery mode where I tried them again as .zip's (hold home + power until the exclamation then hit the home + power again).
I even did a hard reset and tried again. Nothing...
I do have the sdk, adb and fastboot working. Able to connect via usb, issue some commands, and list the devices. Try to push an install and get remote not allowed.
I am getting used to no-root but I dont like it. I want my old rootable phone back...
Im in the same boat as you are..
Cant seem to root my 1.33.0007/DCR92. I have tried about everything in this forum..
Hopefully something will hit soon.

How about posting a link to the sappimg.nbh you used?
The reason is because when you updated the 2.1 RUU the HBoot was also updated and you need to first flash with an unlocked SPL for the hero.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE HTC HERO (G2)
NOTE: Please note that flashing the wrong SPL can render your device useless.
I got the error 140: and could not find a way to downgrade until now....
Step 1: I have uploaded an unlocked SPL (hboot-1.76.2007) for the hero, which can be flashed through update.zip via recovery. The recovery can be flashed via running 'runindos.bat'. Make sure you copy the recovery files into the SDK\tools folder where adb.exe is.
Step 2: Then what you can do there is flash using the RUU you want, this will then allow you to get the 2.1 OTA update.

Added to the main post.
OMG finally god bless you man after about 5 days of trying every ruu with goldcard and some other tricks even some other bootloader version i stumbled over your post and it finally worked with no errors, thank you sir now i can finally send my hero to waranty without problems .
wow, thank you, been trying to go back to RUU to sell my Hero to a phone company and been googling for over 7 hours, this is the only thing that worked, downgraded to Android 1.6 now!
I am using elelinux 6.2.0 speedmachine v5 and I am not able to apply any RUU (I always get error 140 - even with a goldcard) so this could come in quite handy.
Does it make a difference if I apply this update.zip from the recovery (RA-hero-1.6.2) that is installed on my hero?
I think there is no difference.
Its only going to be a matter of time before people will need to send phones back under warranty for whatever reasons so a guide for unrooting will be needed.
Any takers?
G2 already has one, but obviously we will need different rom/hboot etc to go back to our stock.
Not just unrooting, but going completely back to stock, i.e. S-ON and stock ROM.
As you say, we should be able to base it on this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971
Although we have several different stock ROMs, e.g. European, Asian, Vodafone UK, etc.
this is already covered in the FAQ (easy tutorial @ dev forum)

That just says to use Visionary to turn off rooting. Or did I miss something ?
As I said, I think we need to cover how to return a phone completely to stock, and I don't think it includes all that you'd really need to do, or if you didn't use Visionary in the first place, e.g. the kind of stuff in the G2 post that I linked.

It does say to flash an RUU to S-ON which in the past I would have said would work, but seeing how the G2 forums are not suggesting that its that simple my guess would be that its not that simple.
I had to flash the PC10img thing taken from the stock ROM to restore root and s-on. But no idea how to extract that PC10img thing, not that I have looked into it either.
That info was from one of the guides in the dev section I'm sure.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
What might work now will probably not work once an OTA update comes out for the DZ though, as per the problem on the G2 they've had which has led to quite a few semi-bricks (possibly full bricks in some cases ?).
Done some research, it would seem that flashing an RUU would work fine for those of us already rooted, if an OTA were to come out those who rooted after the OTA would have issues unless an RUU for the same OTA was released as well. (this is basically because the RUU's currently available will be older than the software the phone is on so the RUU would fail leaving you with a semi-bricked phone as described above, basically it would flash stock hboot and recovery then fail to flash the /system so you would be left with no root or recovery and no rom.
Flashing the ruu would give rise to accepting the OTA too, if you really wanted to do that, but it might block root.
you just need the RUU for your correct original phone version
OR use a gold card
eg. I have debranded mine from bell NAM 1.34.666.5 to euro generic 1.34.405.5
To go back to stock, I can:
1.- grab the bell 1.34.666.1 RUU (its slightly previous, but is the correct original version for my phone)
OR
2.- run the euro generic 1.34.405.5 with a golcard inserted

Yes thats what I was getting at in my post above, any RUU you flash needs to be of the same or newer version of what your previously flashing. You cannot GoldCard to flash an RUU to S-ON or you get left with the semi-brick where you have stock recovery and hboot, but no rom installed.
So if an OTA comes out, you can't accept it, s-off then use an older RUU to s-on again. You would have to flash an RUU of that OTA version (if one is released).
Basically its best to not accept any OTA if you can avoid it and just wait for a custom rom of the same, that way we can always use the older RUU's to s-on if we need it.
I successfully downgraded my rooted/S-OFF'd phone to an earlier ROM last night. I simply followed this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
I'm of the firm belief that this is the onyl way to do it if you are at S-OFF. If you have S-OFF, then flashing an older RUU will probably brick your phone.
Well yesterday I perm root and s-off my european Desire Z with World/Euro generic 1.34.405.5. Somehow everything went bad after flashing recovery mode, so I decided to unroot it and bring it back to original settings.
I found there are 2 methods, one is to run the original ruu, and the other one was to copy the exact World/Euro generic 1.34.405.5 PC10img.zip to the root of my sd card.
Then entered to bootloader, and the phone recognize the archive, I simply apply it, and now I am back again to original stock.
However now I tried again and I am happily root, and S-Off following the amazing gtrab guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777)

That's the thing I keep saying though, flashing the original RUU worked for you because you weren't trying to downgrade the ROM, it was the same version that you already had on (just S-OFF etc). If you had a later version on your phone (e.g. via an OTA update) and were trying to flash to an earlier one, you would have bricked it trying the straight RUU method.
So what should be done is download and install an RUU - say 1.234.987, so you're on 1.234.987 - then root / S-OFF / custom ROM the phone. If anything goes wrong, reinstall the 1.234.987 RUU.
By the way - that's a fake RUU

So what should be done is download and install an RUU - say 1.234.987, so you're on 1.234.987 - then root / S-OFF / custom ROM the phone. If anything goes wrong, reinstall the 1.234.987 RUU.

During that process, if the stock HBOOT/recovery that is installed by that RUU decides that what you're trying to flash is "older" than your custom ROM, you're screwed though. That's why the "debranding" guide has extra steps in it, i.e. gold card and editing the misc partition.

I hate HTC.
Love the phones, love the Sense, hate the security.
Why not give us a command like the N1? WHY!?
So you should backup the system partition before S-OFF and so on? Like so a dd? (Following on from previous post)

The system partition isn't changed in S-OFF, that's the boot partition (just allows writing to the system partition).
The gold card and editing of the misc partition should work fine, as per this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
It worked for me last night to flash to an older stock ROM (which also gave me S-ON again, removing my S-OFF).

Cool. Confused. I believe you though.
But you are saying just to make a gold card, and edit the misc partition?
Nice

Following that guide that I linked worked for me. Yes, I turned my SD card into a gold card and edited the misc partition. Then it is fooled into thinking you're restoring a ROM of the same version that it already is running, so it lets you do it.
Actually, I do wonder whether both steps are necessary (i.e. gold card *and* editing misc), because I thought the whole point of the gold card was that it avoided those checks, so perhaps you can do one or the other ? I am only thinking out loud here, and may well be missing something, so I don't suggest trying it other than as in that guide.
Hello All, hope you all are ok
i bought my wildfire 3 months ago and that mean time i had so little knowledge about android and unfortunately i moved stock rom to cm7. and now i want to back in my stock rom (official)

Thanks
ok , can you please give me the latest version RUU download link
by the way i have installed "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed_2.exe" is this one latest RUU and official ?
if yes then where is the defaults wallpapers for android which i saw first time
AlphaRev/Revolutionary breaks some functions of official ROM's. So you have two ways to get back:
1) Sense Fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
2) Remove AlphaRev / Revolutionary S-OFF HBoot and go back to S-ON
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160251
Both will give you back your wallpapers, initial setup wizard, and default homescreens.
but i dont have root
Then use option 2. If you don't have root, I assume you don't wish to install custom ROms and stuff anymore. Going back to S-ON doesn't need root.

Are you sure you have specifically seletced Fastboot in the HBoot menu? It doesn't look like it.

Dear 3xeno
Plz Short out my problems, currently i'm on CM7 and want to switch over to original ROM
Plz suggest me simple method to roll back on same.
should i go for "RUU version" from shipedrom.com Or Directly go for this
1) Sense Fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1156713
Or any other help will be much Appreciated.
Thanks
Sense fix is only for fixing the original ROM's wallpapers and widgets (Which don't display if you have S-OFF'ed using Revolutionary). To go back to your original ROM, you have to install the RUU, or, alternately, flash this ROM like you flashed CM7:

(If you are claiming warranty, then definitely go the RUU way)
Thanks dear for fast reply !

Now you can't. If you wanted Eclair, you should have flashed an Eclair RUU when you were on CM7. To go to 2.1, you have to go the long way, get S-OFF using Revolutionary again, and then, downgrade and get back S-ON. (Basically, the entire thing of rooting again, downgrading, and unrooting)
BUT, There is an alternate method, I am listing the post, but remember, its complex:

There are a lot of ways. If you had your contacts backed up on your Google Account, then you need not save it again. Simply re-sync your phone after installing the new ROM, and it will re-add all your contacts.
Alternately, go to Contacts, Press Menu Key, Select Import/Export, then select Export to SDCard, this will create a VCF file on your SDCard with all contacts. To restore, select Import, and select this VCF File.
Lastly, there are a ton of 3rd party apps available to do this. Just perform an Android market search for "Contact Backup".
well, now i am s-off and installed cm7 again.. successfully now what ?
Now flash the Eclair RUU (WWE 1.37.405.1) and repeat the same steps to get back S-ON. Remember to use the HBoot.nb0 file from your specific RUU.
