Is it possible? HTC HERO ROM successfully operating on a t-mobile USA my Touch 3G

Hello team, So sorry if i posted this in the wrong forum.
I have a t-mobile USA My touch 3G which comes with google OS 1.5
Can i install the Hero ROM and have everything working such as bluetooth / wifi / 3G and everything else?
If the answer is YES , can any one direct me to a how to list on what I would need to start my adventure. I have actually no clue on how to do it but im rather a techy guy so please direct me to a place or provide me with instructions on how to do it....
Last question...If any one has already done the ROM update ...how does it run on the My Touch 3G? slow, decent, pretty quick, seamlessly?
I truly appreciate everyone's feedback and guidance. Thank you

Follow this thread:

From the specs you have an "A" type phone. Suitable roms are listed there. To flash you first need to run a "recovery image" which you will also find there. Then you need to download the Android SDK (google for it. it's free). Install the USB drivers and prior to connecting your phone, enable "USB Debugging" on your phone in the settings.
Now.
1. Copy the recovery image to the tools directory of the SDK
2. Download a ROM of your choice, rename the ZIP File to Update.Zip and copy it to the root of the SD card of the phone
3. open run cmd on your pc
4. navigate in the dosshell to ..\sdk\tools
5. switch of your phone. Press back and switch you phone on again (hold back), then release back
6. type on the PC: fastboot boot recover-new.img (whereas "recover-new.img" has to be the name of your image)
7. On the Phone: Create a Backup using Nandroid
8. On the phone: Wipe the data
9. On the phone: apply update.zip
10. Reboot phone wait and pray....

PS: Yes it runs quite fast. Personally I have disabled sense UI's Rosie. I like the rest of the applications though. Bluetooth ain't working yet. The rest is a go.

unfortunately there is no way to get root or flash new roms on the mytouch 3g as of yet...

Wow but the previous guy just gave me detail instructions on how to do it....which is the real answer?
Can it or can it not be done?

Can't be done. At least not at the moment

No since the myTouch 3G CANNOT rooted yet.

how did you get the Touch3G ? its not out yet, I can trade you with my rooted HTC Magic

Sorry for my previous comment. Can't be done. Wanted to help but lacked crucial information with regard to the dreaded SPL. Guess, I have some troubles - after switching platforms - accepting to be a newbie again. Sorry for that.
Regards,
F

Its okay, its an honest mistake, So the question is as follows....what is the likeliness of someone being able to ROOT the My touch 3G? like being able to hack it? is this SPL stuff unbreakable? or will there be a possibility to ROOT?

Sorry for the noob question but what makes the Magic different from the myTouch?
I found this article (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting) that says you can root the Magic. After reading this article, I'm thinking that the myTouch is going to be a little different.

The main issue with the MyTouch3G is that it has the perfected SPL .0010, which signature checks both boot images (so no booting into modified recovery) and flashed images (so no fastboot flashing). There is a probably a way around it, and its a work in progress from what I've read.

humm..
If you have a "perfected" image, you have to wait. I have a dev google IO and it works ok. Slow as hell but ok.

Is there no hope for 1.6 users on a UK voda magic?

Hi folks.
I am desperate to get Cyanogens mod on my phone but I can't downgrade to 1.5 because i'm on 1.6 with a UK vodafone Magic (32B).
Any chance a serious andoid expert could step in and tell me:
Will there be a new image made to fix this issue?
is there a method I will understand? It says on the Cyanogen Wiki that there has been "some success" with my version but I can't find where it says how to downgrade for my version
I keep hearing about gold card or summink but i'm a noob and I don't have the foggiest idea where to start.
Please help!! and try to make your responses understandable

Dont worry...
Hi there
I think is possible what you're trying to do, but in order to change your rom you don't need downgrading nowadays (HTC are not PSPs, hehe).
I have a magic from Vodafone ES, and what you have to do first is check your model, can be 32A (HTC) or 32B (Vodafone, less ram in cell phone), so you'll probably have 32B like me.
After this, you need Android SDK and drivers to connect your device usb, load a modified SPL via ADB/fastboot (there's a thread in the forum with the HBOOT collection, you need one of those in your cell in order to change the rom).
Summarizing:
1. check if 32B
2. get Android SDK to use the commands fastboot/ADB
3. replace SPL
4. continue with the cyano's wiki
I followed this: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=74683 (sorry is in spanish and a bit outdated, but the apps you need like the SDK are in there, and you have some screenshots, you can skip the root part since cyano's mod is rooted already).
About the goldcard method, I dont know because mine hadn't had perfect SPL, I only had trouble with the usb driver, and downloaded HTC sync (look for it on google if you need) and adb/fastboot detected my device.
A good idea is to install a recovery image once you change your SPL, I personally recommend Amon_RA's recovery 1.5.2.
Last but not least, these explanations are the basics, I know it sounds like chinese to you but read more posts in the forum, there's a cyanogen flashing guide as well, with all the information and these steps you'll do fine.
Hope you'll succeed, let me know your issues

I do understand reasonably well but you cannot use the guide on here with a UK magic as the SAPPH.img file or whatever has an incorrect ID. it's at this point the process cannot be completed.
Thanks so much for your lengthy reply but in this case I believe my phone is unique and the problem cannot be be as easily resolved as you suggest. I must downgrade to 1.5.
Are any of the extreme android geeks able to shed light on this?

I can shed light on you as I have a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B. I used the instructions at the link below and got my phone back to Cupcake, but oddly enough I used the MyTouch instructions and searched online for a suitable sappimg.nbh file as the one they provided didn't work for me. Now I am running Qteknology MagicSense Hero ROM with working LEDs. Forget about ADB, SDK and the Goldcard method... I am sure you want the simplest way to unroot so you can get back to 1.5 and the reroot to whatever you like. Here it is: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/

This is great news but I have tried that method with the sappimg.nbh and it says incorrect ID every time.
Are you using a UK vodafone magic then? If so, where did you find a SAPPIMG that worked?
Please try and remember!

It doesn't matter that your phone is a UK Vodafone Magic.. if you google sappimg.nbh and download a few until you get the one you need you will have your phone reverted back to it original state... ready to root. If you stop your search after one attempt you will not have done all you needed to do. You don't have to know any codes or get another SD card.. just put some effort into it from your computer. Google is your friend.

but being a bit of a noob to all this, surely trying sappimg files at random might risk bricking my phone? I heard there was a good sappimg for all but my version of the phone which is why I mentioned it.
Maybe someone on here has a sappimg known to work with my phone?
But yes, i'm off to do some intense googling.
Thanks

Hi
I have a UK Voda Magic and I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579328 and worked perfectly for me

It truly is lovely of you all to try and help and I appreciate it but I suspect you have not read my comments properly.
Those of you that have commented here were only able to get it to work because you were flashing from/rooting from a 1.5 cupcake build. Once the OTA 1.6 donut update is on a UK magic it cannot be downgraded and so all comments thus far are superfluous. contrary to other comments it is necessary to flash SAPPIMG.nbh first and this does not work on my phone - incorrect CID.
Is there anyone on here that can help with MY issue?
Thanks.

Strange, because I have no issues flashing UK Voda 1.6 phones, just fastboot and use ADB to load recovery image, then flash whatever 32B ROM I like (Dwangs 1.17.1 is great). I did a work collegues before Christmas and his phone had never been modified, only received the OTA update from 1.5 to 1.6 around October time.

I'm on it. That's the way I used to flash roms back when i first got my magic. Now i've been thrown by all the simple guides to put cyanogen and I thought the sappimg method was the only way. I'll just download the sdk and get on my merry way

I don't understand what the issue is? I have a UK vodafone 32B and have been flitting between CM's mods, Hero mods backwards and forwards with no issues whatsoever?
I'm on CM's latest right now (well, a few back now 4.2.11 latest), just followed the instructions and it worked....?

I certainly did read your OP correctly and I also was on 1.6 when I followed the link I posted. In that link it has instructions on how to do it if you are on 1.5 OR 1.6

Started out with 1.5 Vodafone UK Magic which i've flashed many times using the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img method.
At one time i went back to stock 1.5 but let it update itself (OTA) to 1.6. Since then i've continued to flash new ROMs without problem.

hi alfieg
ive vodafone magic 32B with donut and perfect SPL, in present day, I tried all the guides and methods in many forums, without success, for example, if you follow the guide in wiki cyano, already the first step there are problems, how I try to update with sappimg. (cupcake 1.5) as the ends' update writes "main version is older," "update failed "... if you do not then a way to get cupcake is impossible to have root on magic 32b with donut and Perfect spl ....
Indeed in the wiki says, if you have donut Downgrading to 1.5 FAILED: HTC Magic Vodafone ES (Spain) (32B) Official 1.6 updated OTA "
wait a few geek we solve the problem ...

I don't see what the problem is. You should have been reverted back to 1.5 and flashing new ROMs. The instructions are simple.. someone else has done all the hard work.. all you have to do is download a file and hold your phone.

download a file, to make what? If you can not root for real?

Will you lot please listen to me!
There are two methods reccommended:
1) Flash the SAPPIMG.nbh to downgrade back to 1.5 - this does not work on a UK magic on vodafone 32B at all! It reports Invalid CID, update failed!
2) use the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img via the SDK - This does not work on my phone! - I have the device listed when I use "adb devices" so the drivers are ok but it hangs at <Waiting for device> when i try to fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img!!!!!! No ammount of killing the server and remounting as per the cyano instructions works!!!!! in fact, it wont let me remount (Operation not permitted)!!!
If you don't understand please don't post. People who have not updated to 1.6 OTA and people who don't have a UK voda 32B - stop posting here.
Grrrr

I have a New Zealand Vodafone Magic 32B and they share the same Hboot 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) SPL with the UK (and NL and AU) vodafone phones. That means they are VERY easy to load alternate ROMs onto. The horrible stuff many Americans and others have to go through to root their phones isn't required for us.
You do need to get the Android SDK installed and talking properly to your phone.
Assuming you have the SDK set up and you can see your USB-connected phone listed when you enter the "adb devices" command, then the rest should be easy. See the Cyanogen Mod wiki for the details. You want the section on "non-Tmobile 32B magics" on this page:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
It starts with:
"Non-TMobile 32B Magics
If the above doesn't work for you, don't despair. Some non-US Magics are shipped with a fastboot compatible SPL installed. If you see 3 skateboarding androids when you boot to fastboot, you should be able to do the following:"
..............
This is the part you want to pay attention to, assuming you have the SDK installed properly. Our phones are actually MUCH easier to load others ROM on because we have those fastboot-enabled SPLs already in place and this is the first, BEST way for us to do it.
Whatever you do, do NOT flash the "Danger SPL". There is no need to for an HTC Magic with the Hboot 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) SPL.
If you're hopelessly lost at this point, seek hands-on local help. You don't know enough to do this by yourself without risking screwing up. if no one can help you, then take your time. Learn the stuff you need to know....Being in a hurry is a great way to go wrong. I spent 3 months reading and thinking about it before I loaded my first ROM. Much of the advice is for the Dream / G1 or locked MyTouch3G or Magic 32B phone from telcos who lock them....and simply isn't relevant for the HTC Magic 32B from Vodafone. the single section I'm pointing you to above is all we need to get it done.
Finally, here is my own "simple guide" for getting loading alternate ROMs on a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B. This is about OUR phone...and should work if you work your way through it.
http://truthseekernz.blogspot.com/2009/11/simple-guide-to-loading-new-roms-on.html
You don't need to worry about "gold cards" and all that stuff. You'll be flashing an already rooted ROM and you will have backed up your un-rooted original load with "nandroid" before you change ANYTHING. That backup is your path back to the way your phone was before you rooted it by flashing an already rooted system ROM. in loading ROMs like Cyanogen's you're not baking a cake, you're buying one....so you don't need to know how to make one, you just need to know where to get one and how to serve it....if that analogy makes sense.
Simply, you start by: fastboot boot RA-recovery-1.5.2G.img:
Then, from the recovery menu of functions you do these steps:
1. Backup (nandroid)
2. Wipe system / data
3. Wipe cache
4. flash from any zip on sdcard (the one you want to flash today, you may have put several different ROM images in /sdcard)
5. reboot to brave new world.
6. Make a backup copy on your PC of the /sdcard/nandroid folder on your sdcard so you won't lose it accidentally if your sdcard is corrupted, lost or stolen.
Done.
To save time and let you backup / flash ROMs anywhere you happen to be standing, you can flash Amon-RA's recovery onto your phone or you can load it via fastboot every time and leave the default recovery in place. The very first nandroid backup you made will have backed up the factory recovery image as well as the factory system image as they were at the time you backed them up. So they can be restored if you want to at some point update them with an OTA update. I suspect Vodafone / HTC will be rolling out an Android 2.0 / 2.1 update to Magic phones at some point. If they don't that would be a black mark against them....something to remember when thinking about buying any future phone from anyone: "WILL THEY SUPPORT IT FOR THE SAME 2 YEARS YOU'VE SIGNED UP FOR".
If the answer isn't YES......then that's worth remembering. Vodafone / HTC's record so far is good. The last OTA update was barely 3 months ago.

Get latest version of fastboot binary. I had problems with original one and htc magic. Drop fastboot.exe into the sdk tools folder.
Reboot your phone holding back and power simultaneously.
Then plug usb cable.
in Dos prompt go to sdk tools folder and type "fastboot devices"
if your device is listed you are good to go.
then "fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img"

WARNING: Updating to this rom will erase your device completely, including custom recovery and leave you with a perfected SPL! Please wait till someone roots this rom if you don't want to get stuck with a perfected SPL!
Enjoy!
PS. Would be nice to see this being ported to 32A ;-)

Yes...
Seems that HTC has released this rom for different countries (version):
Germany:1.91.162.1; Italy:1.91.165.1 ; United Kingdom :1.91.161.1 ; Switzerland-German :1.91.166.1 ; Netherlands:1.91.172.1 ; Spain:1.91.164.1 ; France:1.91.163.1 ; Austria:1.91.177.1
And I think all Magic (A/B) upgrades belong in the Sapphire forums, not in the G1 forums ;-)

My gf has a Vodafone Magic UK, they post an RUU.exe which only works with HTC sync, voda UK magics have no HTC sync...
I have also posted in the G1 forum, and my best solution seems to be to flash a rogers rom, then update...
Anyone got a simpler solution? I have tried upping the PCSII.apk (or what ever its called) to the phone, and it just FC's..
I'm not concerned about losing root, my gf just wants a stable phone!

I found some instructions to install it without HTC Sync:
Code:
- Download and run the RUU executable
- When the wizard is at step 1, open a file search dialog
- Look for a file named [B]rom.nbh[/B] (should be in [B]%temp%[/B] folder)
- Copy the rom.nbh to another folder and rename it to [B]SAPPIMG.NBH[/B]
- Close the wizard
- Copy the sappimg.nbh to the root of your SDCard
- Power down your phone
- Boot your phone while pressing "volume down"
- It will ask you to update (wait a bit till the question pops up)
- Press trackball to start update
- After update press trackball again to reboot

Pay attention before installing it. The Italian update installs a perfect SPL!

I did this.. not knowing it would unroot me en install a perfect spl haha. that sucked.
It is still fixable with the goldcard method and a higher rom SPL.
After that you can downgrade the radio to the new 2.22.23.02

Nevertheless, I have my 32B Magic rooted, so I don't want to unroot it. Is there anyway of putting this ROM version without losing the root and recovery? Or do we have to someone unroot the ROM and put it available in the forums?
Tnx

If you want root it would be better to wait until someone roots this stock rom.
You could also browse the Dream development forums for a rooted version, maybe it's already available there.

Did anyone root this stock rom? I want to try other mods :/

uk link is dead? i need to un root my phone back to vodafone android 1.6 is there another link?

I could do with a stock rom for vodafone magic aswell... acquired a phone with no nandroid backup and cyan 5.0.8 is not playing nice

[Q] 1-click root for HTC Magic - What happens??

Hi Everyone!
I have a HTC Magic with 1.5 and HTC Sense (32a - black edition from Three Austria).
I wasn't able too root my phone or to install custom roms because I didn't want to make a "GoldCard" - and I am honest - it was very complicated (especially for 32a).
Now I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Can someone please answer me the following questions:
1. Will it work on my version of the HTC Magic?
2. Will I be able to install Custom Roms (e.x: Cyanogen)
If the 2 questions must be answered with NO - can anyone give me a real simple step-by-step description of the procedure?
Thanks.

1. May be. In notes to 1clickroot application writen, that it uses exploit. There is no stats what rom has/hasn't this exploit
2. There is one method. To install any custom ROM you must change stock recovery to custom. To do this, you must get root (su binary) and flash_image binary (if your ROM hasn't).
Then you can custom flash recovery via flash_image
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Then you can flash custom ROM via recovery (according your current radio 3.22.XX.XX aka old_radio)
This way used on HTC Tattoo

Has anyone tested this on a Magic 32B with 1.6?

Universal Androot is working on these phones. Find it, install the apk, run it... you will then have root...
Then through ADB you install your recovery, then through recovery you install your rom.
Takes about 20min minus if you need/want to change radios/spls

When flashing a rom i get the error: "No Signature"
EDIT: My fault.. Did something wrong installing the recovery

Excellent! I read a tweet from Cyanogen:
Carriers patching exploid I guess. At least their response to security holes is getting better even if it takes away a vector for modders.
They should just give up and step into 2010. Not everyone wants to be spoonfed.
Not give up on patching blatent problems, but spend more tike fixing them and less time developing things like nand lock.

I know that this 1-click root is taking advantage of the exploit in some roms, so after reading this tweet from Cyan, it doesn't seem that it's going to last for very much longer. Next OTA and next generation devices may not work with this method.

hi, i tend to agree with you. i did run the universalandroot.apk. i did get the superuser permissions apps. however, when i tried to run titanium backup and adfree, i got message saying that they can't access the root privileges. when I ran busybox installer, it said that my phone is rooted but busybox is not found.
so, if anyone was successfull in rooting their htc magic 1.5, please share some information to do so.
my phone is htc magic 1.5 pvt 32A which i bough from Three in Australia.
thank you.

CONFIRMED working on a 32A Magic with 1.5 Sense UI!
I just put my hand in the fire, ran the RUU and tested the APP.
DISABLE install Superuser.apk OR IT WILL FAIL!

Yes - why disable??

You still get superuser you just dont get the prompt to allow or deny it on your phone...
Did I not write clearly enough?
Because it wouldn't work for me if i left it enabled.

And after this I am able to install a custom rom? Or do I have to put the recovery on first?

The application only enables you to flash a custom recovery and then from it you can flash any ROM you want.

Cyanogenmod 11 RUU

I recently got my first Windows phone (HTC Titan II / HTC Radiant), so I am very new to the Windows phone world. But over the past few days I have read a researched as much as I can to remove Windows phone OS and replace it with Android. So far I haven't found much at all that is what I am looking for.. But I am starting to get the idea that Windows phones use these "RUU"s to update everything from the computer and I used one for myself to upgrade my WP rom.
From my understanding, a RUU can do these things:
System (the /system mountpoint)
Boot (the /boot mountpoint)
Recovery
User data (the /data mountpoint, this means you lose all of your personal data)
It may update your radio image (if newer)
Source: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/13446/what-is-an-ruu
And since all the hardware is compatible with Android.. I don't understand why someone can't make a RUU that will over wipe WP and replace it with Android and maybe in time even install CWM so you won't need to use these RUUs and just use a .zip?
Sorry if this in posted in the wrong thread;
Thank you for reading!

Sparrow40k, imagine:
You're living in Sydney. And you baaadly want to live in Washington DC. So - why shouldn't someone just remove Sydney for you and replace it with Washington?
Because it's not possible.
That's the answer.
