when i tried "fastboot boot recovery-new.img" the cmd said
"downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY"
after that the device's screen change from bootloader screen to "hami" screen (with something orange apple icon) and stuck there. T_T (wanna cryy..)
any one have solution for this? thank you very much in advance

Same here
Exactly the save versions as yours.
I got one from Vodacom in South Africa yesterday, and none of the rooting guides seem to work. I'm really only interested in "tethering" with my phone, as I'm often on the road with my laptop and haven't had a need to buy a second modem just yet. Was hoping I could use the Magic in the same way I used my Nokia.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried PDANet yet?

I had same problem , how i solve is to download the recovery.img and the update.zip from the following , you cannot use standard version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523913
you must ensure that you use update.zip from here else after the update you won't be able to start up.
first do download both
daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip and daldroid-recovery.img
and copy both to the sdcard follow same step
rename daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip to update.zip
restart in fast boot mode , and run command.
fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img
hope this help.

Your HTC Magic is different than the HTC Magic from Vodafone.
HTC Magic from Rogers US, TIM Italy, 3 Scandinavia, Vodacom South Africa and more are the original HTC Magics from HTC - they have different SPL, Kernel.
So you can only root through the metod as stated above - Daldroid made it possible.
For the time beeing you can´t flash other roms than Daldroid´s with root, without trouble.

Incidentally, it seems that the Rogers Magic is quite a bit similar to this one...
The Rogers HTC Magic reports the following on the fastboot screen:

Not sure if daldroid's method will work on the rogers one.... there is a bit of a difference in the model number.

You can follow the progress on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517948&page=22.
A rogers user reported success flashing his ROM.
go to the latest (as of current time) posts on the thread.
One user reported he successfully flashed a rom, but he had to change the SPL. As Rogers stock SPL and radio are newer than the flashed one, furthermore no spl image is available to restore the original, I suggest to follow the thread and verify the progress with a second user I asked to make some test.
I don't have Rogers myself, cannot test it for you.

Can anybody help ive followed all the magic rooting tutorials but when i enter fastboot boot recovery-new.img into terminal i get the following message "cannot load boot-new.img" i have all the drivers installed and have followed the wiki exact plus ive read every page of the rooting thread in the development page and searched the rest of this forum i have a uk vodaphone magic, cheers inadvanced

Alright, so here's what I've done so far.
-Grabbed Daldroid's "daldroid-recovery.img" and the signed rom, which was renamed to "update.zip".
-Copied both onto my SD card.
-Fastbooted my Rogers Magic using "fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img"
-Performed a Nandroid backup
-Wiped the data
-Applied the "update.zip"
-Rebooted
I got the Rogers screen, then the HTC Magic screen, then the HTC chiming screen where it made me wait for a bit. Buttons flashed and voila, I am booted into a different rom (no Rogers crap).
I confirmed that after flashing, my device info still says HBOOT-1.33.0009. At no point did I attempt to flash Haykuro's SPL or change the radio, as it's still 3.22.20.17.
I think I'm doing things right, so hopefully this info helps
Edit: Tried flashing QTeknology's Optimized Hero Rom, and it hung on the Rogers screen for a long time (waited at least 5 min), but was able to revert to the Daldroid rom.
Edit2: It's the same situation for other roms, like nk02's ported Rogers rom. It looks like .0009 is a no-go.

I can speak only for myself, but what I'm telling now i think is 99% accepted.
However I can not take any responsibility for your actions.
1. Usually it's safe to try any custom ROM with will NOT put your security on ON.
2. I only had problems with Rogers stock ROM which did not flashed correctly even if it said it did.
3. If you have S-OFF, you can recover your phone most of the cases if it boots into fastboot.
4. However, if you get S-ON, you can recover your phone with goldcard if you have a higher version of the ROM (I don't recommend you to get there)
5. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE HBOOT - RADIO PAIR YOU FLASH. IT CAN GIVE YOU SERIOUS HEADACHES. Search which pairs are compatible
6. READ CAREFULLY, BUT CAREFULLY EVERY TUTORIAL BEFORE STARTING TO DO ANYTHING
7. AH. DON'T EVER BE IN A HURRY WHEN FLASHING CUSTOM ROMS AND BE SURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED
8. The rest is history and, as always, GOOGLE is your friend
Good luck.

thanks .

what can i do with it ?
upgrade?

upgrade from an unknown software version..[mytouch3g tmobile]

Hi all, I am helping my friend upgrade her mytouch 3g to froyo after reading the guide listed on this page. However, I am extremely confused by what version of android she has in her phone.
The baseband is listed is 62.50sc.20.17u-2.22.23.02
kernel is at 2.6.29-g023e5c9
build number at 2.10.531.4.
Is this DR92 supposed to be? I searched all over the internet and can't figure out what these information match to. I think it should be before DMD64 but when i tried applying the DR92 to DMD64 update. It says siganiture failure too. So this means it's even before DR92. But it is 1.6 firmware as reported in the system..
Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Turn the phone off, and then turn on by holding Volume down key and power and then write here what are phone specs

Thanks for the help! Though I am surprised to see it's 32A. shouldn't all tmobile products be 32B?

not necessarily if its the black mytouch then its a 32A idk y lol i have white one n its a 32B (this is just my opinion )

Well they imported google branded htc magics both 32a and 32b, so i dont know if you can do OTA update,but you can root phone and install rooted OTA with cm ported kernel for 32a

Is rooting the only way available? Since it's not my phone, I don't really want messing it up.. thanks.

As i said idk, I think it is because Tmobile only did update 32b magic and dream. You can mess up the phone cuz you just cant if you do all things right.
go to www.theunlockr.com adn find in how to's section phone and you have 1 click root.then install recovery and after that install ROM. If you do have probs PM me.

What's your fastboot info? What carrier are you with? Do you want to root? Let's start there.

i used a SuperOneClick to root it and it was successful in providing me su access.
i have read that i still need to change s-on to s-off but it says that i need a goldcard. is there any other way without using one of those? Please help.

there is an official 2.2.1 rom by htc. you can download on support section on htc.com. but because it's an official rom you will not have root access.

There is nothing there except a user manual now.

I turned on the wifi and play with the android market, after a while, a message pop up automatically and ask me if I allow the phone to download the 2 upgrade package for the phone. I choose Yes, and the phone start downloading and upgraded to Froyo. (My phone is an unlocked T-mobile phone with a dummy T-mobile sim card inserted). That was just a month ago.

i'm stayed all night last night waiting for the upgrade on market, but nothing. Can some one just copy some tutorial with valid links, so we can do this???

Wildfire debranded question

Hello to all.
I'll get to the point... I've been wandering for several hours on this forum looking for information about rooting HTC Wildfire, and I found several threads. However my question is...
My phone is not locked to any carrier its "debranded" I can put any sim card I want. Majority of those threads I found were about debranding the device then rooting and installing custom roms.
This is my phone's info:
Code:

If I use "HTCDev" tool to unlock my phone.. can I go directly to Cyanogen website and do the tutorial without using any other means such as "revolutionary". Just use the "Method via Recovery" and be done with it?
Thanks in advance.

Revolutionary unlocks your bootloader as in gives you S-OFF . Which allows you to do more things (For example mess with the internal memory of your phone). As for the HTCDev tool, I'm not sure, but some users say it doesn't S-OFF it.
And after you achieved S-OFF you need to flash a custom recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12782368&postcount=2

So with my HBOOT-1.01.0001 I have to use Revolutionary.. and then CM7
Since other people have 0002 they have to downgrade to 0001 is that correct or I have to download some RUU. I'm sorry for my noobishness but I've never done this.

No need to downgrade, just use revolutionary.

Thanks for the information.
I plan on using this guide "wiki(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide" with the "Method via Recovery"
I assume this is a valid tutorial?

Hit "THANKS" if this helps.

I've rooted the phone using Revolutionary
My next challenge would be custom rom and I'm planning on using CM7 mainly for the overclocking ability.

I got the whole job done in a couple of Hours (including the downgrade from 0002), loading the custom CM Rom was the easy bit, messing with the config is ongoing
When I first flashed CM7.1.0.1, the GPS didn't work, I had to also flash the latest Radio from the CM Wiki support downloads. Check it's working after your upgrade, easy to fix if not
