HELP - New ROM on HTC Magic

Hello All,
I have had my HTC magic now for 3 days and loving it. However, reading around it seems to be best to leave the factory ROM and use a different one.
I am considering the CyanogenMod.
Firstly, could someone tell me if this ROM is compatible with my phone (current details of the phone are below)
Secondly, could someone advise on how I do it safely (in n00b terms) and what tools I will need on my Laptop to do it.
Current Firmware: Android 1.5
Build Number: CRC24
Phone: HTC Magic
Provider: Vodafone
Thanks in advance

I should add its the "With Google" model if that makes any difference.

Try reding "unlockr" page for my touch 3G or Saphire which is same a Magic by vodafone. 32B Chip.
Tool you will need is called Android SDK latest.
Also you will need to make sure that your Wnidows OS finds the phone and installs correct drivers. That should be done before anything else.
Once understood you will root and flash your magic in less than 10 mins!

Proper Magic ROM

I want to flash my Magic with an original Vodafone ROM as the one i am running is so slow and need to get it back to working quick again.
The only problem i have is i can't find a stock ROM for a Voda branded handset.
Anyone know where i can download one from?
Thanks

I just got my magic i bought from some auction here and thatt a-hole forgot to mention it was a vodaphone...
So when i was trying to download the new roms from HTC's website it said it didn't apply to my serial nr i entered....
So how do i upgrade from this v. 1.6 and get rid of the crappy vodaphone thats infested my phone?
Regarding this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 is this where i go to get the android update? how do i know if i have the 32b version....
What I want is to get rid of the vodaphone crapware and update android + that sense UI would be the icing on the cake...

If you want to know what magic do you have you must power of your phone and then VolDown + Power its a fast boot and there you have all info and post it here some1 or me will info you what to do

[ROM] Official HTC Sapphire/Magic/MT3G RUU ROM Links
http : // forum.xda-developers.com / showthread.php?t=538979
have the latest information and links to download Office ROMs for your phone.
I hope this covers your question. All I did was went in to Android Development forum under
* HomeArrow > * HTC Sapphire: myTouch 3G, Magic > * myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development >

I am sorry for posting in this thread but I think the OP had the right idea... The shere volume of information is overwhelming and being a complete NEWB when it comes to androids.
I just bought mine and the moron i bought it from didn't bother mentioning it was a vodaphone so now I have to make the best of it...
jumping on this android phone is like starting to watch a movie in the middle... it's real hard to get a grasp of things at first.

OK, i think i have broken my magic now.
I used Amon Ra's clean Donut ROM and installed as i have done in the past with others, but now when i reboot the phone after the ROM install it just sits at the Vodafone splash screen and thats it. I checked all my phone settings before running this and everything matched up fine.
I will post my settings when i get home, it will help anyone that is kind enough to help me out.
Incidently if i pull the battery and then put it back in, i can still get to the fast boot screen and i can still invoke the recovery ROM screen to allow me to flash a ROM, so it's not bricked, just don't know whats going on.

More than likely the ROM you flashed isn't right for your phone so you get the endless boot.

[Q] Vodaphone Desire HD debranding query

Hi all,
I recently purchased a DHD for the wife from ebay and the seller claimed it was new and factory sim free.
I already have a factory sim free HD so I knew what to expect.
However, upon turning it on, it boots with a Vodaphone logo and is full of Voda's bloatware.
The seller has obviously just unlocked it but not bothered to debrand it.
It has been sim unlocked as it accepts my T-mobile sim fine.
What's the easiest way to get a stock htc rom on it?
I don't know if the seller has already used goldcard to sim unlock it?
It does have 2 dubious looking files installed on it that are not on my stock DHD:
HTC Function test Program
HTC IME Test
Both of these have unofficial-looking icons
The software build number is:
1.39.161.1 CL278886
Thanks for any help I get

You can just root it using visionary with that software version, once rooted look in the android development section, there are two one click tools for s-off, run them both, once s-off, you can download rom manager from the market and flash cwm recovery, then you are free to install a custom rom or a stock like rom..... or you can make a goldcard, and then flash a generic htc ruu. I know the first method looks complicated, but its alot easer than messing about with hex editors making a goldcard

Thank you.
I've done it now.
It was easier than I thought it would be but it's all thanks to you.

Need - HTC 10 EVO RUU

I need HTC 10 Evo RUU , it can be europe,asia,india. Anyone willing to share would be great.

I want to ask the same:laugh:

Here also the same, for me it's German (EU) 1.31.401.1 or newer i am still searching for. What i need to restore the phones rom to factory state and relock it as i have to send it to repair.
I search since July and have no success. I think the phone is not really good supported outside USA. My Display has the half screen black bug and it's still on my shelf waiting for repair, what i can't request before i have the rom back in factory state.
I just got an iPhone 7 and i am happy with, at last there is an Adblocker available and all pre installed apps can be removed since last (iOS 10) software release. So i don´t need a system which i have to root and lose the warranty anymore.
But i still hope for a RUU file to get the phone repaired and can sell it after for a little amount.
