Guide to Rooting/Flashing Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello all.
A friend of mine has a HTC Magic (the google one) 32b and he wants to root and flash recovery/rom, but he is afraid of bricking the phone because of spl and radio updates.
Can some one point me to some guide, how to root and flash and give some advices?
He also wants to install gingerbread. Is it available?
Thanks in advance

Some additional info:
I'm writing down his mobile specs:

Be free to give some tips

Hello all
I'm the friend SKL_opt
Can you help me.

I was thinking about doing this process
1) Downgrading to 1.5
(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32B):_Rooting)
2) Install this recovery
(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492)
3) Install this Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932118)
They think this process is the best for my Magic?
I appreciate the help

This is a request for information not general tutorial.

Hello everyone.
Yesterday I made the case that he had previously said, downgrading to Android 1.5, I installed a new recovery (Amon_Re 1.7.0) and got me here.
Ginger wanted to install the rom Yoshi 1.1, but I noticed that for this rom, I need this 1.33.0013d ​​SPL and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08.
After making the downgrading, the fastboot got the following data
SAPPHIRE PVT SHIP S-32B ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Then and now, is the question I ask? What will be the next step?
Thank you for your help

Just one more question.
Android 1.5 as at this moment, the system says I have two updates to the Android 1.6 and 2.2.1 of Froyo later. If I make any of these facilities, I lose everything I did before, that the recovery entertaining installed (Amon_Re 1.7.0)? Or the recovery keeps unchanged?

Thank you all for the precious help he has given me. They have been great to me.
Not one response from you. Thanks

Hello everyone,
Yoshi already installed. Can lock the topic
Thanks

[Q] Original ROM for Magic

Can anyone help?
Last year i installed a Hero ROM on my Vodafone HTC Magic with help from this guy: http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/
Everything worked great, except for the fact that it runs really slowly sometimes and takes an age to do anything. I want to return back to the original Magic ROM (or as near as i can get to it) so that it runs faster and responds as it did originally. I have read through loads of forums and the majority say i need to root my Magic first. Because i have already put the Hero ROM on, does that mean the phone is now rooted? I am starting to get lost in all the different reports and would like some clarification on what i need to do, and where i can get a working ROM from. Hopefully the following info will help.

Now it is on official Android 2.2.1 and I am trying to flash a custom ROM (Ginger Yoshi) following almost every guide in the forum but I am getting nowhere! I even have problem when trying to flash amon ra recovery. I believe that the problem is the perfected SPL. Can someone please guide me or point me to the right thread for flashing a custom Rom or even downgrading. I have done a lot of research in the forums and Google but with no result but maybe I was looking for the wrong stuff.
Please help me! The phone has become very slow and it needs a change.
After a lot of trial and error I found out what I was missing! I will try and make a step by step guide for the rest.
Loumbas , we are waiting for your tutorial

i followed this guide:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...oid-2-2-1-froyo-update-on-vodafone-htc-magic/
now my phone is stuck on the vodafone splash screen.
i cant get into recovery or fastboot.
nothing works
any ideas or have i just bricked it for life?
You probably won't get your question answered in the development section.
This is where you go to download custom roms, scripts, hacks, etc.
I'll move your inquiry to the General (Q&A) section for you.

Hi yaguilao. Welcome to XDA!
This thread will help you to root, flash a custom recovery, and upgrade to a magic SPL. A magic SPL will give you much more control over your device and make it easier to recover if you have any problems.
Once you have the custom recovery and magic SPL, you'll be able to install custom ROMs as often as you want.
This forum has threads for HTC Magic/Sapphire/MyTouch custom ROMs.
Some tips:
Make sure you know exactly what model you have: if it has a headphone jack, it's a Fender/1.2. If it doesn't have a headphone jack, it's a regular 32B. Before you flash anything, make sure it is compatible with your device.
Once you have a working radio + magic SPL + custom Recovery, your life will be much easier. The phone will be hard to kill as long as you don't try to change radio/SPL/Recovery after that.
Before you do something, read the forums. As much as you can. A lot of people have made mistakes, so you can learn from them.
If you've read everything but you still have concerns, post a question on the forums.​
Good luck!
