[Q] How to root my HTC magic and which is the best ROM for it?

Hi, I would like to know how to root my HTC magic and which ROM is best for it, and how i can get back to original ROM if i dont like the rooted ROM? I am going to leave my phone specs. ANd thx a lot if some1 answer me a question.
Spihire pvt 32a ship s-on h
hboot 1.33.0009
cpld12
radio 3.22.20.17

Use the search option and search for "1.33.0009 root"....third one down.

THx a lot i found a lot of stuff, but there are few things that are bugging me. First Amon ra recoveri loader there in some guide is said first to just boot the image, and then to install it, so what should i do? Second there is nothing said about when you boot it/install it when you install cynogen_mod android? And third thing on my W7 it wont do the push command always says it is read only file or smthing, should i use linux insted is it batter?

can i brick my phone?

Can i brick my phone if i load a rom thats not made for my device?
like flashing a 32B rom on a HTC magic 32A
( or doing stupid stuff like that ) like other spl or other radio....
already thnx for answering

have you been successfull???

yes i got the fast rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843292 running on my phone now its really great
only problem is that i didnt get the part of partitioning the sd card for aps2ext3 ( or something like that ) so im going to figure that out now

Please move this thread, it's not development

for partioninig - go to Format sdcard in recovery - choose Format and then you can choose how much memory you want (..swap..ext...)
remember to save your sdcard data, because it will be erased!

I will when I get home.
Sorry but I've been busy.

what i need to do with sdk/adb?
realy sorry for my dumbiness

You've got the new 32B radio which a lot of ROM's don't support. After flashing CM you need to also flash the 2708 kernel patch. Search for ezterry on here, download his kernel, put it on your SD card along with CM 6.1 and the Google Apps Add-on, boot into recovery, wipe system/cache/dalvik-cache, and finally flash the 3 files from above. Make sure you flash the 2708 kernel AFTER flashing CM 6.1.

maybe I need just throw it away..
i'm having Android system recovery <2e>
and i can get in fastboot
i can boot the phone but i cant do anything with it (becauce of unoficial sim card)
could some one help me please?

Google the APN settings for whatever carrier the SIM card is with. At the Google activation screen, hit menu, then wireless networks, then "Access Point Names". Either edit the existing entry to match the settings for your carrier or add a new for your carrier.

Thanks.. but
Thank you very much DonJuan
i get it worked and at least i can use it like a Phone
i try to root it with one click root but superuser permisions dont work,because of that i cant install clockwork recovery trought ROMmanager (it says An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands)
maybe i need to try another rooting metod or something..

Try using SuperOneClick. You may need to install superuser from the market after running it.

Do you have S-OFF?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

i tried to do it, but i find some many guides about that, and i read that this can brick my dhd, so I didnt do it.
is it necessary?

Yep, you need it. Use my radio S-OFF tool, it is easy as pie. Nobody has bricked a DHD using my tool yet, the possibility of bricking is basically zero. You can find a link in my signature.

and how do i check that i have s-off??

i have done this s-off, but my phone is on the initial booting logo, htc and after the vodafone animation, and it is going over and over again.

thanks people for help. i had this that press vol - and power and you get into advance settings, then factory reset, then again root, and now is working.
thanks
solved

check my guide. regarding the ! sign, did you use "Flash clockworkmod recovery" BEFORE tapping on "reboot into recovery"?

I had that problem too but then I did s-off and clockworkmod worked. Now I need radio s-off , and I need help with choosing right radio to flash.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

You need to have the radio which comes with the 1.32 you have installed.
Then use the Easy Radio tool v2.2 to make the Radio S-Off
Then you can flash the radio you need (the recommended one for the rom you are going to install) using fastboot (some tutorials there).

Hy, need some help please!
I rooted my phone, and do the s-off, and install custom rom. but what is eng s-off?
when I go to boot i have " ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF"
Do I have to make eng s-off or what or can I use my phone like that?
tnx

I'm sure if you have a little look on the forums you'll get the answer you're looking for...

ENG S-OFF is not essential, unless you want to flash a new radio although it is recommended to have it. Look in the Dev section, there is a very good tool to use.

Check the inspire forums. You may find a rom packaged for flash through the bootloader there. Is it an at&t branded phone? Is it an inspire?
If so, go to you may be able to try downloading the ruu from htcs website and try that route.

look on this ..
this will be helpful for you
because i'm a new to here i can't post url ..
search on youtub using " Inspire 4G how to fix a soft brick (htc white screen) "

Try to boot into stock recovery (hold volume down + power) and once you're there, try to factory reset and clear cache. That normally gets rid of boot loop. I'm trying to search for a RUU for inspire 4G. Let me know if that works.

Well first thing I did is to wipe data /factory reset but it didn't help.
