one click root htc magic

Hello. I have a htc magic 32A with perfect spl rooted by the one click root method but i want to install cm6 but i never made it. I have a few doubts:
1º - After i rooted my htc magic, i have to download rom manager and then flash clockwordmod recovery or Ra recovery 1.7??
2º - Then i have to download and do a froyo radio update right to cm6 work? If yes, how and will not brick my phone when turn on wand where i download it?
3º - i presume the update froyo's radio is before i install the cm6. If i update radio and the phone works, then is only install the cm6, port and Gapps all together with rom manager??
I need help please because i have tried so many times install a custom rom and i failed always(thanks god a do always a backup). I want to leave 1.5 stock rom

please write first all you can see in fastboot here...
i think you have only to flash a custom recovery.
dont use rom manager, i have heard there were a lot of bricks with that app and clockwork.
use a amonRA recovery.
follow this thread:

first post all what you see in fastboot.
then everyone can help you. without these informations we cant help you, we dont now, witch radio do you have or witch spl, etc..

My phone is SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-3.22.23.18
i'm rooted by one click root and already installed rom manager to flash the recovery
Then i dont know how to install cm6 6.0 stable and i want very much.

please help!!!

When you install custom recovery and dont use ROM mangaer it has bugs you can install Ra's recovery v1.7 adn install it via fast boot,download CM6,kernel for ebi36 i think it is and gapps tiny,install via recovery(flash from zip) first cm6 then kernel and then tiny apps and you should be fine
wiki.cyanogenmod.com

and the radio? i have a RADIO-3.22.23.18. Don't have to update the radio? If yes, when i have to update? Before or after the install cm6?

and one more thing. I have to flash the ra recovery via rom manager and reboot to install cm6 or it has to be in other way?

New Radio doesnt work on CM6, install RA recovery via ROM manager at your own risk,then wipe all data via recovery and then instal CM6 kernel and gapps

i dont have to install the 3.22.20.17 radio?? i tried many times to install cm6 in ra recovery rebooted by rom manager but when i flash the rom, it always show an error "status 7" and failed the cm6 installation

Try to install it but it doesnt matter it needs radio 3.22.xx.xx any version,ok wtich version of RA's recovery do you have you must installl the right one???And did you download the right files i can give you if you want to????

the recovery i flashed the ra recovery v1.7.0H by rom manager and then i try to install the rom. I almost sure i have the right files to apply the cm6. I dont understand why is the error "statues 7" when i flash the rom...
PLEASE HELP

Did you try to install CM6 via recovery? Here is the link to download all file and put them on the sdcard,shut down phone,boot to recovery(Home+POwer),there is option install from sdcard.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Upgrading_from_CyanogenMod_4.2_to_CyanogenMod_5/6

again and again always shows the same error...
i begin the phone in recovery(home and power) and try to install but when i flash the rom, in the midlle of instalation, error "status 7" instalation aborted

Maybe rom manager did something wrong, download eyegor's radio switcher, and flash only old recovery(search it here on forum for magic),download from page all files form my last post wipe all data(dont forget to do that),and then install like cyanogenmod said you should do

i couldnt made it, i think i give up, i am forced to stay in the 5.0.8 stable
Always show a error "status 7", instalation aborted in the cm6 rom...

It is better then to go on Rogers Android 2.1 then to stay on CM5 it is faster and has Sense UI (original HTC),if you want it i will tell you how to install it

if you dont mind i accept the help because im not an expert if you prefer you can send me a PM
dont forget that i have: SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-3.22.23.18

You must first put an eng spl which is 1.33.2010 im not at hime so i cnat post you link,it is done via recovery its .zip format,then you must download radio switcher by eyegor and reboot into fast boot and press flash new button,and download capychimps rom or stock rom with root and install it,if you dont know anything abut your spl ask on capychimps thread

[Q] HTC Magic from Tim Brazil - 32A

Tim Brazil Magic are these:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP60000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
AUG. 4 2009 19:43:30
from what i read the SPL is perfect, can't change it or downgrade Radio.
I have to use Amon RA Hero Recovery 1.62, change to SPL 1.76.2007 and then downgrade Radio to 3.x SPL to 1.33x and install Amon Ra Magic 1.70+ to install CM
If i follow the CM wiki I won't be able to backup the stock rom because of the goldcard+european RUU to gain root access.
- So i was thinking about using Universal Androot to root it, then Rom Manager to Install ClockworkMod (using HTC Magic option) and do a backup. will it work with this 0007 SPL?
- from there, can i use clockwork to flash SPL 1.76.2007?
- then i was thinking if i could use Radio Switcher >"flash old" - so it will flash the Radio, SPL (and Amon RA recovery?) i need in a safe way (wiping everything)
if it makes sense it should be an easier and updated guide.
no need of goldcard, RUU or shell commands.
I can go back to Radio Switcher> "flash new" to have back the SPL and 6.35x Radio and restore the stock rom backup if someday Tim Brazil releases an update.
thanks in advance

Well - this is the most structured and accurate first post i ever seen :0)
You sir, have gained my respect :0)
You are completely on the right track.
I will not use Rom Manager. To many have bricked their devices with that app.
Follow my guide (check my signature for link) and you should have both root and custom recovery(Amon-Ra version) without changing your system, beside the root of course.
From the recovery you flash eng spl 1.76.2007 as you correctly stated above(also included in the guide).
Then make a nandroid backup using the custom recovery, to make sure you always can return to stock.
Once the eng spl is flashed you can use the radioswitcher(the link is also in my signature) to change between the old and new radio/spl/recovery combos. You can also wipe from the tool or from custom recovery.
The remaining is to flash the cm6 rom + the EBI1 kernel.Then you should be good to go :0)
Good luck!

Thank you
want to know the sad (and funny) part? I don't have the phone yet. I've bought it but i still got a few days left to receive it from Tim Brazil. So i've been reading...
I was hoping i could use Rom Manager, the GUI would be very easy to follow. I know it even has Amon RA as alternate recovery, but i don't think it's the Hero 1.62. I'd use it only to flash the recovery.
I think it could be done with FlashRec also. I read that it does a backup of the original recovery and then flash the custom recovery.
I've already downloaded the .zip from your guide

Clockworkmod does not work!!!

I'm really at a stage now where i wanna just throw my htc desire hd at the wall!!!! I am trying to just install a custom firmware, not much to ask considering the mammoth amount of hacking you have to do to even downgrade the firmware. I have done absolutley everything that needs to be done to root this device, i have downgraded the firmware i have rooted it, switched off eng s-off and radio s-off i have full root acess with terminal emulator, i put the update zip on the sd card it says something about installation invalid thats because first time i did not disable radio s-off then it went slightly further but then said some other error i have tried everything, i tried rom manager and selected reboot in recovery mode but now it just makes the phone freeze on the htc boot screen when selecting recovery from the boot menu, can someone please please help, how hard can it be just to install coredroids firmware, why can't it just be as easy as the pd98img firmware
help much apprieciated

clockworkmod recovery works fine. Something has just gone wrong with your installation.
To avoid complications later on, you haven't "switched off ENG S_OFF" you've made made S-ON S-OFF and added ENG S-OFF.
You talk about update.zip, is this for a ROM (CoreDroid?)? Which ROM? Did it tell you to rename it to update.zip? If a ROM then it had nothing to do with Radio S-OFF as you only need that for flashing radio.img files and if it was a radio you were trying to push you should use fastboot not recovery. Are you using the right version of recovery (it's very specific about the version required)?
When everything has been installed correctly and instructions followed it is VERY easy to install coredroid's ROM.

hi thanks for the reply, i just follwed the instructions for installing a custom rom as it asks u to chang it to s-off but the guide also says you need to install the update.zip for clockworkmod to get to choose the custom flash rom you want to use but all i get when i select update.zip from the recovery menu is e:signature verification failed installation aborted

Ok, they don't make it very clear do they?
Have you got ROM Manager installed?
Have you got clockworkmod recovery installed? If so what version is it. If not then use ROM Manager to flash it and flash 2.5.1.3 version (as that what it says).
Get the above. Then let me know.

hi mate its version 4.2.0.2 if i select flash clockworkmod recovery it completly causes the recovery menu in bootloader to just hang on the htc startup screen

Sorry, I meant recovery version but it looks like you still need to do that.
In that case push the recovery.img file (grab from the Coredroid thread) using fastboot.
Normally issues are because people miss things but you've confirmed you have ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF and root.

ok i tried running this image file in fastboot from this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/z...led-tft-30-nov-2-5-1-3-clockworkmod-recovery/
its written ok but when i select recovery from bootloader it just hangs on the htc startup screen grrr this is just impossible.

That's not for the desire HD.
Grab a 3.x.x.x version from clockwork 3.0.2.8 thread and try that (you can downgrade easily once we got something working).

Just got a wildfire and it has s-off now but I have no idea to root it, it has 2.2.1 and I want to root it and install a stable Rom with everything working. Can anyone help me by posting a few links to help me out.
Thanks!

First off, you will need a Custom Recovery, like Clockworkmod. Since I am not aware whether your Wildfire has it already or not, here are the methods to install it:
1) Via Fastboot (Needs S-OFF via AlphaRev X only)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) Via PC49IMG Method (Doesn't need PC Access)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
Once Clockworkmod is installed and ready, you will simply need to follow this post to instll your desired ROM:

I didn't read the whole thing but it looks okay. If you read anything about goldcard put it in the nice to know category. Androot is waaay easier. (Androot app is what roots your phone to allow custom recovery installation, custom recovery allows ROM installation)

you are on the right path by starting it with Hero. use androot to simply gain root access so you can start installing custom recovery image (it will replacing your existing recovery image). after that you can start experiencing new custom rom for hero. conclusion:
1- root your hero
2- install custom recovery
3- play around with custom rom
good luck!

For easy ROM install, after root install ROM manager, it will allow You to change recovery with Amon Ra recovery. Then only You need to copy ROM.zip to SD, run recovery, whipe, and install ROM from zip
