Thanks.. I didnt know this.
Btw.. i downloaded now this rom: RA-IONv1.6.2G and i will try it tommorow.

@deejayviral and others,
You will have to read the wiki and then go to General or Q and A sections when you get stuck.
There is no simple or short answer.
Please read the sticky threads.

It's my understanding that you must first downgrade to firmware 1.5 to root. Maybe that's just for the so called "one click" root process??...

root via my software its straight forward my friend even idiots can do it

A very confusing problem

My HTC magic has the following -
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT- 1.33.0010 (SAPP10000)
CLPD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:28:28
can somebody guide me , or post a link to change the HBOOT to something else other than 0010. Ive tried alll the methods , but no luck.
The Magic which i have is from Qatar (vodafone).
Any info on changing the ROM would be helpful. I just got the phone and im upgrading from HTC Diamond.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4335330#post4335330
Google is your friend got the link in 2 clicks. root + 1.33.0010

Thanks a lot
I'll try ths and let you know in a short while..Thanks a lot for the quick reply

@ above
This is the error that i get...

it says that the ROM has a higher version than the one which im flashing with... my ROM ver is - 2.56.415.5 and the one im trying to flash is 2.53.xxxx ( which is the highest ver ive found on the internet.

can you give us the name of the rom or the link ?
So i can help you .
Note that your informations about your phone show that your never changed the spl and the radio , and as you know every custom rom need specific spl or radio, and your fist question is can somebody guide me , or post a link to change the HBOOT to something else other than 0010.or my link give you all necessary to change the hiboot and radio ,

My current ROM ver is 2.56.415.5

If you list the methods you tried instead of just saying you tried all you might get more help. If you really tried all we wouldn't be able to help you anyway.
But instead of making us try to guess what it is there is going wrong, provide us with info. Then people won't come in and post link to the wiki and things like that
Anyway, goldcard should be able change this SPL, and i believe that other methods is available as well. I used to have that SPL myself before i got an engineer instead. But you should change your SPL before trying to flash a Rom, but seems like you understood that just trying anyway. Other solutions is to find a newer RUU update there match your mobile which have S-OFF so you can downgrade the SLP after that.

I would take a less risky approach than RUU updates, but it was the way i did it cause back then i got my phone the 1.33.0010 was still perfected.
You got the SDK on the PC and able to list devices through ADB? And a goldcard as well?

Ya , im able to connect it and run adb devicelist and i'm able to create the goldcard as well. But wen i'm trying to load the SPL , it shows that the current ROM ver is higher . S-ON means that i cant downgrade right?
So i'm guessing there is no solution for this problem

I can speak only for myself, but what I'm telling now i think is 99% accepted.
However I can not take any responsibility for your actions.
1. Usually it's safe to try any custom ROM with will NOT put your security on ON.
2. I only had problems with Rogers stock ROM which did not flashed correctly even if it said it did.
3. If you have S-OFF, you can recover your phone most of the cases if it boots into fastboot.
4. However, if you get S-ON, you can recover your phone with goldcard if you have a higher version of the ROM (I don't recommend you to get there)
5. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE HBOOT - RADIO PAIR YOU FLASH. IT CAN GIVE YOU SERIOUS HEADACHES. Search which pairs are compatible
6. READ CAREFULLY, BUT CAREFULLY EVERY TUTORIAL BEFORE STARTING TO DO ANYTHING
7. AH. DON'T EVER BE IN A HURRY WHEN FLASHING CUSTOM ROMS AND BE SURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED
8. The rest is history and, as always, GOOGLE is your friend
Good luck.

correct me if im wrong, in order to fix my problem, i have to wait until HTC release a test signed RUU with a FW that is the same or even higher than what i have right?

I've a vodafone magic stuck on RUU mode
With this:
version-main: 2.53.707.2
Can i do something?

Don't try to update your phone from RUU with 3.xx or you got to be brick..
if you have headphone 3.5mm on top(my touch 3g 1.2/fender) read before update..
read..read..read.....

So what can i do? I'm downloading original ROM UPDATE for update....i'ts not a good ideia?

search only like "root My touch 3g 1.2/fender with 3.5mm jack phone"..if you have this phone..if you didn't have 3.5mm jack phone you got lucky one..ask Strogino for complete instruction..
think twice before do this job..or you got to be brick

HTC 820 dual NO BOOT "HELP"

Hey all,
while trying to upgrade my device htc 820 dual sim which has android 4.4.4 .. i pushed a boot.img file that cause no OS boot .. just fastboot screen with it's choices (like HBoot, Power Down, etc ...)
any one can help me with working/right boot.img file ??
CID : HTCCN701
MID : OPFJ11000

iSaidyiu said:
You need to find RUU with cid 701 and rename it to OPFJ11000.zip and put it on the root of your external SD card then boot into HBOOT ( i.e. bootloader ). If the cid of the RUU you inserted is correct with your device, then HBOOT will flash the zip automatically.
Others developers please kindly justify my mistakes if any.
P's1 I wont carry responsibility if you break your device when carrying out mu guide.
P's2 You may want to try out the RUU mode method if the above one fails. Instructions can be found by search on xda htc devices forums ( Sorry I dont know what the proccedures are since I didnt really experienced it before ).

HTC China's firmware is very rare on this forum. AFAIK, there aren't any htc 701 firmware on this forum yet. What you may do is to find a retail shop to S-OFF your phone and then universal dual sim RUU can be flashed onto your device. XTC2Clip is the only known tool that can S-OFF our device, but it costs money. Otherwise, it may be infinite waiting here.

He push KK 4.4.4 and i checked update and received 199MB then 890MB that upgraded the phone to LP and working well in calls, wifi, bluetooth, etc ...
there is two problem
1. phone model become 820t not 820
2. no google play, gmail, google music, etc .. just a chines store
any help ??

The one you flashed is a Chinese RUU which Google is blocked from the country. You may need to manually flash gapps or install another non-Chinese rom.
P's: Dont even think of downloading apps in the Chinese app store. The apps inside are modified by the Chinese Gov so to let them have a greater surveillance over the people who are using the phone.

CID-11111111 is called a "super-cid", which imply that all RUU of the same device ( no. of sim need to be exact ) model can be flashed to the device with super-cid.
