Hi there
I recently got my new HTC Magic from Rogers adn the motherboard is 32A but the SLP is the perfect SLP and using cupcake 1.5.
Is it still possible to upgrade this phone with a Hero ROM ?
Please kindly advise.
Yes! YOU CAN DO IT!
Now you wouldnt learn anything if we just told you how! Read the first three pages of sapphire general and development and you will get it!
I believe that you might have been referring to the SPL; but yes...and he stated prior to my comment, the Sapphire Development "sticky posts" do feature several different tutorials on this process. It can be done.
Hi Guys, I was given a STC (Saudi Arabia's Mobile Company) Magic. I've been reading lots of threads in this subforum, to no avail. This is what I've got:
View attachment 283171
Also the version of my ROM is 2.56.415.5.
Any new ideas of what to do? I'm sorry for the newbie question, but I'm stuck and can't get the root access even though I've read a lot.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

I've tried all that and then went to Cyanogen's MOD Wiki and downloaded DRC83_base_defanged.zip and applied "Any zip" from Custom Recovery and stays there forever.
Just in case you ask, I wiped before I install the OS.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

you have to apply the "DRC83_base_defanged.zip" then the rom itself "update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip" then the 32a port "bc-4.2.14.1-ebi1-signed.zip"
At the end I install this [ROM][32A][Nov07] MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI on HTC Kernel 2.6.27.
I found it in this forum an it worked perfectly.
Kind regards,

Thank you very much. What I don't understand is why I have to flash all that while on the myHero ROM I only flashed the actual ROM.

because your device is 32a and if a rom is originally made for 32b you must apply the 32a port over it,in order to work on your 32a device.

Hay JamworkS,
Can you please explain the steps and put the download link?
Also do you still have arabic keyboard and fonts in the system.
Please we need this desperately. I got an htc magic from stc and i was surprised that it doesn't have the android market. We need to unlock this and have the full android experience.
Waiting you feedback!
Hello, all I did was download with another phone an application called FlashRec, also known as Recovery Flasher.
I installed it in the Magic, and then also downloaded the Recovery image for the Magic 32A. In the program there's a button that says "download from internet" if you hace Wifi or 3G. I just flashed it, and then afterwards searched this forum for that ROM, downloaded it, put the .zip in the SD card, booted in Recovery mode (Powering up the phone holding both power and the home buttons for about a minute).
When inside Recovery, it just went to flash any zip file from SD, pressed de Ball to confirm, I looked for the zip with the ROM, pressed the ball again, it asked me to confirm by pressing the home button, and voilá.
I recommend you to do a wipe before installing the ROM, at least that's what I did.
Kind regards,
JamworkS.

Thank you but it would be a lot better if you could post it here for someone else to discover.
Thank you .
Install Recovery Flasher and use it to flash Amon_Ra's recovery for the 32A (the one with the H in the name). Put a ROM you want for the old radio (3.22.*) on the SD card and flash it from recovery. That should be it. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup and wipe before flashing the new ROM
Should you want to use a ROM for the new radio (6.35) you can follow the guides in this forum.

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.

you should read two stickies in this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538979
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529062
it might take an hour for you to read up on the wikki and play around, go into fastboot and finding out your version number etc. from there you can then download and install adb and fastboot, flashing a new recovery rom, flash radio if needed etc.
again all the info is in the two links above
plz move to general as not dev related
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Our XDA Servers must have somehow accidently moved your new post to the Development section. Don't worry, I'll go ahead and move it to General where it belongs.
