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because your device is 32a and if a rom is originally made for 32b you must apply the 32a port over it,in order to work on your 32a device.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

Hi there
I am using a HTC Magic and my friend helped me to upgrade the OS to 2.1 (CapySlide V1.3, Motherboard is 32A and radio is 6.35.08.29, SPL 1.76.2007). May I know is it possible to download a zip file of Version 2.2 and Flash zip from sdcard to perform this Upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 ??
Please kindly advise me with some basic steps because I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
There is no 2.2 update for HTC Magic....there is a preview build for old radio, but for new radio there's nothing with 2.2 inside
Should be in Q&A NOT IN DEVELOPMENT!\
In a word...No...Not yet,its only just been released on nexus one and over on the CDMA Hero forums they have done a very early port but it is really unstable
Mod edit: not dev related, moved to general
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,
do you have any suggestions how to get rid of Vodafone welcome screen when booting my desire Z?
This is my first android, so I'm totally not sure, with WM 6.5, it was easy, getting hold of new stock HTC rom or cooked rom like energy, flashing it on the phone and job done.
Is there any place where I can get hold of stock HTC sense rom for desire Z?
like shipped-roms.com/shipped/Vision
I'm bit concerned, because it says T-Mobile US...
any help and suggestions are appreciated.
thanks
There are splash screen images in the zip files for the ROMs, so I presume that you can replace them easily. I don't know the correct procedure, but if you flash as complete ROM then I imagine that'll do the job.
Talking of complete ROMs, the standard European ROM is on this forum, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822908 . That's an RUU, but you can run it and then extract the zip file and flash that directly if you want.
However, you need to be careful about ROM versions if you have S-OFF. If you don't have S-OFF, then it won't let you flash an earlier ROM normally, so you need to follow the "debranding" guide (not very well-named IMHO) to flash an earlier ROM. If you do have S-OFF then you must follow the debranding guide, because if you try to flash an earlier ROM from HBOOT and have S-OFF you will probably brick your phone.
If you're flashing a later ROM version then everything should be fine.
I've managed to flash the ROM from the link you provided on my Z using the gold card method.
wonderful. so much better without the Vodafone logo. Thanks a lot.
Hi!!!
I've got HTC Wildfire with Froyo 2.2 not rooted an HBOOT-1.01.0001 S-ON
Hipotetically:
If will download CyanogenMod 7 Update from here http://mirror.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.0-RC4-buzz-signed.zip
or any other version of CyanogenMod
rename it as update.zip on my sdcard
get in to RECOVERY and choose the option Apply sdcard:update.zip
like on the attached screen
will it work to flash and root my Wildfire or just simply will brick it?

Using stock recovery will not flash cm7 or any other custom rom because simply you cant root the device with hboot 1.01.0001 , Froyo 2.2
You have the OTA update, nothing you can do for now unless Unrevoked supports HBOOT 1.01.0001 (which doesn't atm)
OK
I get it. But it simply asks for update.zip file... Does the RECOVERY check any signatures of the file or size before update?
I'm not only asking for rooting.I'd like at least flash any rom containig polish locales because WWE does not have it. I've tried RUU but I'm getting WRONG CLIENT ID error. If I've extracted rom.zip from RUU would it work to flash it this way?
the only way to flash a custom rom is with the HBOOT S-OFF. all that needs to be said.
Yes. I know. I was asking about flashing zip file extracted from shipped RUU but containig for example polish or chinese language and locales. I'am aware of S-ON limitations for rooting and I'm trying to return to polish firmware to sell my Wildfire and buy other one which I'll be able to root.

Signatures are always checked with stock recovery - no way to disable - as BarclayTech said no way for a custom rom.
Check link below and find a corresponding RUU to flash:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
Yeah! But which one contains polish locales. I've checked all WWE RUUs and nothing. Are there any descriptions of those RUUs from this site cause this is useless to flash and check all of them.

Just find the RUU with the same Android version and same Radio version that came preinstalled with your device.
Keep in mind that if your WF came with Eclair (Android 2.1) and you manually upgraded to Froyo (Android 2.2) OTA then follow link below to downgrade (HBOOT will not be overwritten)
I haven't tested this and nobody takes responsibility if your phone explodes
