With my Magic 32B working very good

sounds great but how can i install this?
and which android version will i have?

is your phone rooted? if not, you will need to do so and apply the recovery that fabioccelho gave you in the first link, with that you can flash it that way.
all hero roms that are ready for everyday use are 1.5
there are some eclair hero's in the dream forum, but they are not quite there yet.

so i was on ebay looking for an HTC Magic. I found one that had the Hero ROM that was already installed. I emailed the guy and he said that the phone had no compatibility issues and it was working completely fine - the bluetooth, multi touch, the wi fi, camera etc, were all working correctly. I asked him how and he replied that it wasn't a "cooked" ROM. I'm new to this, so can someone explain? I thought all the roms for the HTC Magic Hero ROM all had their own issues and none of them were working 100% correctly. thanks in advance!

[Q] Original or not

Hey guys greets to all I'am new in this forum and my english is not so good and i have not many experience on HTC Phones and ROM's
I bought a used HTC Touch Pro and ever time when i turn on the Phone there is a picture with text and there stand TPC Elite Rom Series and after a while in the right corner there come up three Letter D, R, G and next to the letters there aer some numbers they look like a version number and now is my question is this original or not ?
i hope any one can understand my question
i put a screenshot as soon as possible
greets and thanks to all answers

Not original, that is a custom rom.
do a search for: TPC Elite ROM

Is your question for the Unit itself or for the TOM ?
If the ROM, it is already a custom ROM

It seems that you have a custom ROM flashed on your device, most likely is something from the old Elite Project.
So, most definitly you dont have the original ROM installed but a custom one... this is nothing bad thow.
And about the numbers please post whats the number on the row with "R", this should be the radio rom version. This will tell you if the Radio ROM was also flashed with something else.

thanks for the fast answers
by R stands 1.02.25.19
i think the phone is open from factory because there is no branding and my next question is is it better to keep the ROM that is on the phone go back to original or is there a newer version ?

Hi I would suggest you to flash a new rom with manila 2.5 on it.
On my PERSONAL experience Energy and Tael roms are the best. I think TAEL is more stable and maybe less tweaked. Energy is faster but from time to time you can meet some strange behaviour... If you go to Energy I would suggest you to choose the 21911 kind because is more stable and gives less problems. I actually use this.
Good luck.
PS: don't feel frustrated cos you do not have the stock rom. They are far less perfomant and poor than the custom made ones ;-)

ok tahnks were i can get tael roms ?

Moved as not ROM Development.

can i use the latest Tael rom and is it aviable in german ?
tanks for the many and fast answers this forum is amazing thanks to all !!

[Q] nee help on motorola quench XT3

Hi guys...
i am planning to buy(India) Motorola quench XT3, i need few help from you
Q1. is it advaisable to buy motorola quench xt3? is it great phone for budget price? i don't have much money to spend on phones since i have lost my iphone recently..
Q2. right now they are providing Android 2.1 with it....is it possible to upgrade to android 2.2? official or unofficial upgrade is possible ?
Q3. if i upgrade to 2.2, will i loose any features?
Q4. is xt3 possible to mod? i mean changing theme, adding widgets, etc..
Please help me in this....
i am looking for your support on this.
cheers

Can someone put light on this.....i am looking for your help dears....

its a great phone and i am using it know.Technicaly speaking its a phone that states its camera is 3mp on its backcover but mine is a newer android 2.1 version that motorola recalled it to change its camera sensor.It is shown in the camera launcher which says 5mp.It is pretty similar to the htc legend and i like it as the ui is very fast!It is so far very good and fast.No lag and it is very customisable.It can put almost any widget and at this price,It really is better then any phone even better then the legend.It also has a unscratcheable screen as it is gorilla glass!Its processer is 600mhz and that makes it alot better then the wildfire which loses in every way to the xt3!There is no 2.2 rom yet!But no features will be lost!And i am also a user of the iphone and i dumped it cos this is alot better if you know how to use it to its potential!Battery life is very good and can last a whole day with heavy youtube+web+Music+video usage!Get the phone!You will not be dissapointed!Make sure you get the android 2.1 version as there were two versions of it!

Hey Thanks Alisterrox....Thats great help....much much appriciated...
actually i already bought it - Motorola quench xt3.
i felt its good and the speed also good.....everything is fine...i played few games .....it went smooth.
also i have googled about 2.2 upgrade....few people have upgraded to froyo....which is cynagen mod.
if you know how to root our device...that will be helpful for me....there are few method ...i don't know which one works fine...
if you have rooted your device..pl. give some direction also if you have installed any theme or rom...please guide me how to do that
i hope i am not asking you somuch...
cheers

Root problem
Don't mention it!I did not root my phone as i have heard rumors that an official froyo update is in Feburary!I am sorry for the slow reply!As for cynagen mod it is the orange boston class which means you can try the mod in the class of the HTC legend or HTC Hero!I'm sorry if i am of not much help.However if you like the Samsung Galaxy S theme i have the file and i am gonna leave it here if you want!

Thanks alisterrox...thanks for your help....i already have installed Cyanogen mod 6.1.2 on my system....i didn't know that there will be a official update of 2.2....i could have waited for some time....even the installed cyanogen mod, i am not feeling its good....the touch resposive become bit lagish and the speed is very similar to 2.1...the battery drains early(this is the big issue).....the only benifit is i can install app on my SD card thats all.
between the file which you have attached here....how i can use...can i use 'rom manger to install ?
Thanks
Cheers

It is an apk technically speaking u just place the file in your sd card that will do the trick.You can use any app installer.As for the sluggishness of the mod it is expected as it is a general rom which may not be built for this phone specifically.....i will try probably to write a froyo rom into it if i have the time while i port a htc rom or any rom i can get hold of!Maybe dext motoblur rom as the specs are pretty similar!

Thanks alisterrox...whish you very very happy new year...i will try the theme and let you know....if you buil any rom please let me know...
also i have noticed that ...cyanogenmod people have ported the Gingerbread rom to our devices...pl. do check

Cheers

ThanQ
I m screwed up with my pretty old HTC Touch.. I am looking for best of HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 551, Motorola Quench XT3, LG Optimus1 P500, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8..
but after seeing this thread and other threads I will definitely go for Motorola Quench XT3. Only one question how is the display colors and resolution compared with others ?
ThanQ

@ kbmkreddy
according to me ....Motorola quench XT3 is best buy...
Screen quality is better than any other mobile in this category ....(you can check the specification and compare...XT3 is best in class).
i would recommend do check LG optimus 1 p500 also...this is also a pretty good mobile.
cheers

hey here by i have attached few froyo rom's for our device....these are works fine without draining much battery...
i would recomment you to try 'jellybean' 'Apanda' & firetrap rom's to test..
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-official-apanda-a60-rom-22.html
Bug: 1. there may be a chance to loose IMEI ...also 2. registering the network in the beginning is very slow 3. App2SD is not so good...you can't move everything.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/02/rom-22-flphfiretrap-jellybean-221.html
bug: when ever you do in setting menu changes....will be restored to the factory setting whenever you restart. but one of the best rom i have ever used.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/02/rom-22-android-bakpia-cokelat-221.html
bug: it says official rom for XT502 but whenever i install through SUT...it shows some error...but works fine...App2SD is not so good.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-official-foxconn-rom-22_28.html
bug: IMEI issue, Have to root, for some device...will be locked...
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-firetrap-twonights-221.html
bug: App2SD is not good, I didn't like the dialer but this is the 2nd best rom i have used.
hope i have helped you.
cheers

Tried rom
I have tried all but the best so far is the official 2.2 xt502 rom with gingerbread ui.it's very stable fast allows the installation of apps to sd card.also the kernel 2.6.32.9 is way u will want if u want superb battery life and great speed.cyanogen of course is faster but it gives horrible battery life.apanda's and foxconn rom's are very good generally.but I heard the clock speed is capped mostly at 480mhz.apanda's are 600mhz but don't worryfficial Rom usually have no imei fault whatsoever.oh if u are facing problems with any rom that gives u other region setting(that's wat I got with the official rom) just go android market and dl the regional settings app.I suggest the official rom bcos it's made for our phones and u will not get things like commitiva z71 or any other orange boston clones;it say xt502.Apps2sd works fine here if u do a custom partition;I did it and it works fine.generally if u like firetrap has good rom.but recent roms also built on the official rom such as the balakaila rom have the same stable kernel.look for those as they are special kernel for our phone.oh error codes on sutlr are very common as we had clockwork mod to install cyanogen b4...thus it works wierdly.I have been fiddling around and I will most probably attempt rom building on the 2.6.32.9 kernel with no root.complete stock will give good performance.besides the gingerbread ui is gorgeous so try that out!it even has smart dialing enabled unlike other rom's.it make dialling a dream unlike the previous roms mentioned.cheers!maybe we should request for a thread specially for our xt502!

Hi alisterrox,
Where do I get the official update to 2.2 mentioned in your last post? I'm running stock 2.1 rom on my XT502 and need to update specifically for apps2sd and such other features.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Motorola-XT502 using XDA App

@ pamfu ...Official rom i have attached in my post...the first link is the official rom for our device(not exchatly xt502 rom but its official rom for similar variant.....i guess you know...its just a brand name...everything else are same).
@ alisterrox ...Thanks man....even i thought the same....official rom are fine to use..its very stable.......
since you have knowledge about rom's...you should cook some rom for our device....we should ask seprate thread for our XT502....that will be very much helpful
Cheers

rom building and guide
well i am waiting for the 2.4 sdk to come out b4 i try anything....oh if u want to know how to update to the 'official rom',the steps are
Flashing non cyanogen rom
Step 1ownload and install the SUTLR to your computer(link to dl:http://uploading.com/files/7942c5ef/SUTLR_v1.7.0.zip/)

Step 5o not worry about the errors u get after flashing.Just go ahead and boot ur phone up.After the motorola badge u will get the green android robot.It should boot up.
Step 4:If u dont like the chinese root explore use system app remover to clear file and dl the full version using applanet
Rmb to always backup ur rom!
If problems persist with booting(applies to most roms)
Step 1:Go into recovery mode(power+vol up+camera button)
Step 2:Using trackball or volume buttons,select wipe cache and wipe user data(select button is camera button,back is power button)
Step 3:Go into advanced settings and select wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats

Hi Alisterrox,
I'm using official XT502 with 2.3 UI rom too, it worked good so far. But why everytime I restart my phone my internal memory always reduced a little ? I used app2sd with ext3 partition in external. Did it happen too in yours ? Thank you.

@alisterrox
You really rock man! Such flawless instructions! My XT502 upgraded in flat 5 minutes!
THANKS THANKS THANKS ..... MANY THANKS!

[Completed] [Help] Install CM7 on Motorola Cliq XT without camera button

Hello to all.
Well, I have an old Motorola Cliq XT (mb501) (a friend gave it to me) that I want use like a backup phone. This smartphone has an old Android version (Android 1.5, official ROM) and I can't use basic apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Lite, so I tried upgrade to Android 2.3 using CM7. I downloaded it and I decide use the official CM guide. I haven't got any problem rooting and installing the custom recovery, but when I want boot to recovery mode is necessary use the camera and the power button. And here is the problem: this phone apparently have it (see this photo) but, if you disarm it, there is nothing and I can't boot the recovery. Is there a way to boot the recovery without using the camera button?
Regards and sorry for my broken english.

There is no official upgrade to 6.0,
You need to install latest TWRP, and flash suitable ROM of your choice. You may need to upgrade the bootloader to latest one to avoid flickering of screen after reboot. Lot of guides here just do a search.
