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because your device is 32a and if a rom is originally made for 32b you must apply the 32a port over it,in order to work on your 32a device.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.
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, I am attempting to downgrade my streak from DJ_Steves 1.5.2 to the original Rogers 1.6 build 7921. I was wondering how the best way to go about this is. Do I simply find a nandroid backup and run restore or do I have to go back to O2 1.6 and then use a backup to get to the rogers 1.6? Or am I going about this entirely wrong. Also If you do have the original build of 1.6 could you please post it. Thanks for all the help everyone.
