sorry if I sound totally out and stupid, but are ota updates available for the Rogers HTC Magic? Or is this something that has yet to be made available up in Canada?
It's not stupid at all... I wander how to make my mobile OTA capable...
Does changing images makes OTA capable or OTA is clean googles cupcake OS?
I've been searching on xda and hofo, but haven't found any info on rogers updates.
I'd like to know if the rooted boot.img would prevent this update from installing. Can you change the title of this thread to something like "rogers ota updates"?

i am looking for this too. i have a rooted rogers rom running on my HTC Magic. wondering if i can get it updated.
There is a manual download link for it on phandroid. and there is 2 flavours. US and UK. Which one should i take if i can update it that way. I am in Malaysia btw.
anyone? i really want to know if the update will work..
Im intersted as well, Im going to be purchasing a magic as soon as i get some questions answered. I want as full of a google experience as possible, so I would like the OTA updates, and I would like to be able to run the hero rom, which is why I would need the "rogers" magic.
No you wont be getting OTA updates from Rogers. They do not support there phone OS's just hardware, you'll have to email HTC for any updates. I had to go to Sony and Nokia for my last phones, said the same thing this time.
By the way the last OTA updates were security updates, I've read that it has caused problems for Rooted phones.

I've rooted and flashed the rom on my phone.
I don't think I will receive any OTA updates because of this but even if I do I will decline to download it.
The roms being cooked on here will be better then any single update i'm asked to download.
I mean the devs are already ripping apart the Donut development code as we speak!!
You will not be recieving OTA updates on the rogers branded magic because it is not a google experience phone (it does not have the with google logo on the back). In your case you will have to decide which you need more, the sense ui, or ota updates. Remember, "with google" phones will most likely not be getting the sense update officially.

Also have to remember that any of the "with Google" phones have 192MB of RAM where the Rogers has 288MB of RAM. Which alows running the Sense UI properly.

Ok. So OTA wont come to me.
But if i use the update link manually, will it make my phone go haywire?
will i lose root access?
I am also looking for this solution for OTA updates
My UK G1 has never received any OTA updates. I finally got fed up with a 3 hour battery life and thought I'd try and manually update - using legit software, i'm not bothered about hacked versions or keeping root etc...
My trouble is, it seems I'm a bit late to the party. I've managed to go from rc7 to rc8. But every download link I find for rc8 to rc9 is dead.
Can anyone supply a link that works to go from rc8 to 9, and hopefully one to go to cupcake?
Thanks in advance.
hey guys i've been searching all over but i cant seem to get a direct answer. I am getting a HTC Magic from Canada with the 32A board, it'll most likeky be an unbranded phone probably running the HTC version of Cupcake. My question is this, i want to know if its possible to find a google based rom without root that can run on the 32A version of the magic as if its the vodafone or the tmobile version, the reason for this being the OTA updates from google. I want this phone to get the OTA as they are pushed out by google. So please no suggestions about the Amon Ra 1.6 or any cyanogen mods or any others. This is about the stock phone on stock firmware with a stock recovery image. I know those are stabe and faster than stock roms but i'm not into that for the time being.
Thanks in advance for all your help
No. (10 Signs)
This was something I noticed since HTC has been updating the EVO, Droid, etc to Android 2.2. The Aria doesn't allow you to check for software updates under Settings > About Phone like is says on their manual and website.
So what's up with that? For those that haven't rooted their phones and when 2.2 is released on the Aria we'll have to wait for AT&T to push the OTA update?
No early adopters allowed, unless rooted of course. lol
I don't remember where I saw it, but I think the stock ROM currently is unable to accept an OTA update. It's supposed to be included with the 2.2 ROM whenever that happens. So it'll probably be a download on the HTC site when the time comes, which is supposed to be before the end of the year.
yeah, theres no OTA with the stock sense rom; when 2.2 gets its official release, it will be a download through either at&t or htcs website.
i would suggest simply rooting your phone and installing attn1s CM6, which is a full on 2.2 rom.

I installed it using ODIN (I had been rooted so no auto download for me).
T-Mobile have ceased pushing updates and removed from their support website so this seems to be the only current way of upgrading if you choose.
It's all legit and works, slow download though!
