I've just been given a HTC Magic on Vodafone UK and it's so slow it's almost un-usable. I've been told that rooting it will help but I haven't got a clue how to do it or what the result will be.
I've been messing around with Windows Mobile phones over the last year (installing custom ROMs etc.) so consider myself able to do it but don't know where to start.
Is it a similar process? Can you download a clean ROM that will run faster?
Please help as I like the phone a lot (when I can use it) and don't want to give up before I even start
Cheers..

There's loads of advise available on here, but firstly you need to find out what magic you have - hopefully this will give you some idea of what is involved..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051393
hello, yes Im new here, well, i have been around a while lurking, however, I have not posted as you guys always seem to have an answer via the search button!
But.............. I have just installed gingerbread on the wifes HD2 after her moaning about windows 6.5, cant blame her to be honest!!!
I am so impressed with it I have bought a HD2 as well. I own a HTC Desire, which is good, but I like the size of the HD2. However, the HD2 I have bought is locked to Orange, if I run the install procedure for hyperdroid gbx v12 Iam I right in thinking I wount need to go out and get an orange simcard to do this?
Not a big deal I know guys, just looking for advice?
many thanks!
welcome! we were all lurkers at some time...
android/new roms/wp7 on your hd2 have nothing to do with the carrier lock; so putting on android does not change that status. if you have to use sim card a before android, you have to use sim card a after android. sorry.
contact your carrier to break free or search for some pay sites.
cherers.
Thank you for the very fast response!!
I guess I just thought that if I wiped out the operating system with android it would work fine , but I wasnt sure, must be an IMEI thing I suppose.
Thank you though, and i will get it unlocked ;-)
Hi everyone.
I'm really not too good with this, but any help would be great.
I've an original htc hd2 that I want my Xoom to connect to the internet with.
The HD2 is running WM6.5, so i was gonna have a go at the android on the memorycard. But have found the usb on my phone don't work for data, it just charges it. I've looked about and seen the tread on this but seems like a sending back to HTC and expensive repair job to me. And as i don't remember installing any roms or have root that i know of i think i've had it.
Does anyone know if I can install/run android strait from a memory card?
Or is there a wm6.5 program i can install so the xoom can connect?
Or should I just get the phone repaired/ buy a cheep android phone?( any suggestions)
A big thank you to any one who gives me any of there time.

hi all,
I have a hd2 and a big problem!! My phone wont make a call to anyone anymore i had the phone for like 1 year now and it used to be OK , but now i cant make a call or receive a call but i can text to people and receive text any suggestions ??
Have you changed radio or Rom lately?
Have you checked to see if you might need another SIM card?
Last but not least, have you payed your bill? The last one is more of a joke then a real question.
Hey
I have the latest radio rom and i checked my sim on my other phone and it works.
But anyway i fixed it . All I had to do is use the leoimg file and master reset the phone and it works. So what ever was bugging my phone is gone. Thx anyways

Hey,
Sorry if this question has been answered before, had a quick search and couldn't see anything.
I've just got myself a HD2, and it came with W6.5 and a cyanogen gingerbread ROM on the SD card.
Now I think I'd like to just use android, however there are a couple of issues.
a) I've received some texts while on W6.5, and I can't seem to get android to find them? (tried getting texts from SIM but it says there aren't any)
b) I want it to boot directly into android if I'm going to use it, but the usb port on the HD2 is a little broken, which makes stuff rather difficult at times, including wanting to install stuff, should I just get a micro sd card reader and then put something like this:

Directly on it?
Thanks

For the text message problem , try to move the texts from WM(Windows Mobile) to SIM memory , then boot in Android If that doesn't work , try putting your SIM in another phone , to see if the texts has moved . If it doesn't work , then there might be a problem with Android ...
