I have purchased a Vodafone HTC Magic a few months ago. Details below:
Code:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

It came with ClockworkMod recovery and CyanogenMod 6.0 installed. The phone is very unresponsive and very unstable especially if not rebooted every ~5 hours.
Since Vodafone have released an official 2.2 update I was hoping to move to this. However there is no backup of the stock install in clockworkmod and from my Googling it seems removing clockworkmod and getting back to factory settings is not possible or very difficult. Am I right in this assumption?
If so is there anywhere I can download the official Vodafone update and install it via clockworkmod?
If not can anyone give suggestions on more responsive/stable roms for this model of handset?
Use rom manager and try to find a nandroid back up
Or from rom manager you can flash tmobile 3g rom official 2.2.
I flashed it and worked fine.
You can find this rom around. Check is available for your model just in case.

Hi there, I got confused between cmw.zip and kernel files provided in Kernel Update Utility software, can anyone tell me what is the difference? I am interested in changing my stock kernel into a custom one.
Do I need S-Off and Eng-Off?
By the way which kernel version would you recommend? I am currently enjoying using the current stock ROM from HTC and currently not yet interested in changing to other ROMs yet. The purpose of me to change to custom Kernel is just to improve efficiencies of my Desire HD.
Oh btw, can I recover back to the stock kernel after update to the new one? If yes, how am I suppose to do it? (just in case I need to exercise my warranty)
My software is 1.32.707.5, running Android 2.2
Thanks ya.

thery are just two ways to flash a kernel, the kernel update utility it's ment to be safer, but i flash all my kernels from cwm with no issues yes you need s-off to flash a kernel, i would defo recommend leedroids latest beta kernel, it is awsome you can always return back to your stock kernel you can just flash stock kernels like custom ones.
Hi AndroHero
Thank you for your recommendation. I shall consider trying LeeDroid's beta kernel.
Hmm.. return back to stock kernel.. the stock kernel will be saved in the SD card or something?
By the way I got confused with S-Off and Eng-Off. Its not the same right? I've read these thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537. I've used the Easy Radio Tool to turned S-Off.
When I return back to bootloader.. its already S-Off, does it mean that Eng is also Off?? Sorry, I am already starting to blur.
Based on my best knowledge, Eng-Off is for changing radio version.

I have attached a copy of the stock kernel to the bottom of this post for you, it can be flashed from recovery. ok the main diffrence between ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF, is that with the ENG (engineering) you can issue fastboot commands to your device. (So for example you can flash a radio or recovery with the command "fastboot flash radio xxxxxx.img"). where as Radio S-OFF will sim unlock your device and give you SuperCID. you can flash both Radio and ENG S-OFF and enjoy the benefits of both. i flashed Radio S-OFF then ENG S-OFF. but you can do it either way
When you are ENG S-OFF, in bootloader it will say, "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF", if it says "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" you only have the radio version
*EDIT* I'm having issues uploading to XDA, you can download the stock kernel here, courtesy of leedroid http://leedroid.com/ace-customization/
