Hey There,
I have been researching this topic for quite a while and i'm a bit frustrated at this point. I have come across a pile of threads on this website about information to root/put new roms on the HTC magic.
Here's the handset details before I go into anything else
Sapphire Unknown 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.007 (SAPP100000)
CPLD-10
I'm in version 1.6 and i understand that you must downgrade to 1.5 before rooting. I followed a simple tut to downgrade it that entailed putting the sappimg onto the SD card and doing an update.
Whilst Doing this it gives me an error saying it can't find anything but when i look closely it is looking for files called "sappdiag" not sappimg
Please provided what I should do it'd be greatly appreciated
I'm very confused as this is meant to work to downgrade to cupcake...
Cheers

Hi mate,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Magic_(32B)
Read this through to the letter, and you should be just fine
There is nothing on that page
If this is a stock Vodafone UK Magic with Google branding then you shouldn't have to downgrade, nor mess about with SPLs, goldcards or anything.
The link supplied in the previous post doesn't include the final ')' character, I can't post the correct link because the forum rules prevent me from posting external links. If you have any further trouble go to the Cyanogen wiki and have a good dig around.
Just get universal androot out the market and root, rom manager to flash a recovery and your done

How to root android 2.2 ?
You can't.
Find an XTC Clip or someone with an XTC Clip, get S-OFF, downgrade and use Unrevoked.
If you cannot do this, as stated above, you can't as of now.
I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE.
Please help.
Can one root HTC Wildfire that has froyo on it?
I bought mine with 2.1 but when the update for 2.2 was out, i updated it.
I tried doin the unrevoked root but obviously it didn't work.
HOW DO I ROOT 2.2 (FROYO) ????
Sorry I am not really good at all this, so please do help, really would appreciate it.
Rather than making a thread, if you had just read around this forum a bit (Properly, I dont know how you looked and didnt find the answer), you would have come to know that 2.2.1 OTA is NOT rootable by any software method.
The only way to root is to get it S-OFF using an XTC Clip, Downgrading and then rooting (Else directly installing Clockworkmod on S-OFF'ed bootloader)
Sorry to disappoint you, but, you should have waited a bit instead of acting trigger happy when you received the OTA, if you had any intentions of rooting.
I'm not totally new to rooting as I have already rooted my HTC Desire.
Yesterday my daughter came to me and asked me if I could root her HTC Legend.
I'm finding this quite confusing this time around and I am unsure what guides I should be following.
The wanted end result would be a rooted HTC Legend with S-Off after that installing a custom ROM should be the same as it is on the desire so I'm fine.
her phone has HBOOT 1.0 and android 2.2 currently
Can someone please point me in the right direction for my wanted end result.
Thanks in advance
Root is possible but s off isn't with hboot 1.01 or 1 being unable to revert it to s off XD
However you can use fake flash and still be able to do the same things
Look in the legend android development thread in the sticky with references there is a guide for rooting with hboot 1.01
Mines rooted with hboot message me if you need help XD
Sent from my HTC Legend
so I use the 1.01 guide to root 1.0 ok got that.
s-off was not a really big deal I just thought it would be handy
Hello everybody, this is my first post on this forum although I am following it for a long time (WinMO and also happy owner of an HTC Desire).
I recently bought a second phone, a Wildfire (new with the stock 2.1 ROM on it) and have few questions about it that I could not figure out in the last few days by reading the forum.
Ok so everybody knows that the stock 2.1 ROM is kind of bad, but
1)how is the 2.2.1 official release?
If I upgrade it then hboot will upgrade as well to ver.1.01 and bye bye S-Off.
2)Is it possible to first root it plus S-Off and then put the 2.2.1 official release on it?
3) will this change the hboot and block it again?
I ask all of this because I like the sense interface in htc phones. I know Jokerdroid ROM exists and uses sense and is really good.
4) In this case is it worth even trying official 2.2.1?
5) What other ROMs using Sense are there available?
Thank you everybody for help!
And sorry but I could not find the answers anywhere, but hope this thread will help others as well.
1) No difference, except updated HBoot with increased security, WiFi hotspot and Froyo Apps2SD
2) Probably, but I dunno why would you want to do that. Safe Flash ZIPs are much better, since they are the same as the official 2.2.1 release, with just the updated bootloader removed.
3) If you root and put official 2.2.1, it will be blocked. But, if you get S-OFF (Using an XTC Clip, presumably), it wont be blocked, since that S-OFF is permenant.
4) Absolutely not. There are more complaints than benefits, on this forum itself.
5) Too many to list. See here:

1). Even if u won't upgrade to 2.2.1 , there is no free S-OFF solution for wildfire yet (even for the 2.1 wildfire). Alpharev for wildfire is yet to be released. Almost all the wildfires u see S-OFF are done with paid xtc clip. And there is no software root solution yet for hboot 1.01 with S-ON.
2). Again how is S-OFF possible. If u mean it by xtc clip, u don't need to worry at all. Once done with xtc clip, u can do anything u want.
3). Again when done S-OFF with xtc clip, no blocking at all.
4). My suggestion was don't ever try upgrading to official froyo. And if u want to S-OFF by xtc clip, u can try. But personally i won't recommend u to upgrade to official froyo, and certainly i wont recommend u to go with xtc clip in a situation like this. Having a new 2.1 wildfire at the moment is really lucky. Just root with unrevoked and enjoy custom roms. Everyone of us will soon have S-OFF by alpharev.
And u know what, regarding free S-OFF solutions , the ones with hboot 1.01 have only alpharev x option (its also the root solution for these) but the ones with hboot 0.80 have both alpharev 2 and alpharev x option. Suppose, if alpharev x is released earlier (may not be), those with hboot 0.80 can upgrade to 1.01 and use it.
So practically in my case there is no need to change it to S-Off. I thought Unrevoked does this anyway.
So then why is it necessary to have S-off?
if you can root on hboot 0.80 without having S-off?
Sorry I am really confused now.

Actually the point that S-OFF is highlighted for wildfire these days is just to have custom roms on hboot 1.01 (because it is hightly protected and not yet rootable)
The unrevoked for previous hboot 0.80 uses an exploit to push the custom recovery and also push the required root files (like su binary) into the system folders so that they will be re-locked in the system folders giving su permissions to the user. But this kind of exploit is not yet made for hboot 1.01 . So it is unrootable with software methods. The only present way to root it is to disable the nand protection by xtc clip (thus making the system folders writable).
And of course s-off has lot advantages over just rooting. S-OFF skips the signature check of files to be updated. Can change the splash screen. Enables the fastboot extended commands. etc..,
edit: And no. Unrevoked forever is not present for wildfire to make it S-OFF (even for hboot 0.80)
OK Thanks! That is clear for me now. I will give a try to few custom ROMs in the next few days.
