Hello everyone, i just received my unlocked rogers magic today! looks beautiful and I cant wait to get it flashed to hero rom so i can get customizing. I am quite nervous regarding the steps, as they seem different and your inda required to take bits and pieces here and there to get thru the process for your specific phone. These are the specs from my phone :
PVT 32A SHIP S -on H
HBOOT - 1.33.00009(SAPP50000)
CPID - 12
Radio - 3.22.20.17
Do i need to follow the root steps in the magic wiki? or can I just install the full hero rom and expect it to work properly? I would like the little android guy startup animation from the hero as well, not sure if thats included in the fatality rogers magic rom. If i have to follow the steps for root first, then i would download Haykuro's Magic "rootme" rom, but not the magic modified recovery rom on the same page, because i have another .img file i downloded earlier in wiki which is supposebly for 32A boards, its called daldroid-recovery. if I have those files right, then i think i can do the rooting process. at the end of the driod wiki, it says to get the hacked spl for nandroid backups etc download haykuro's SPL update, is that something I need to/should be doing now as well?
Thanks for being patient with me. I appreciate any help much
Do not use Haykuro's ROM for 32A phones. Daldroid's and Amon_RA's recovery are both ok for the phone but I prefer Amon's.
Haven't tried any of the Hero ROMs as I need BT so can't comment on that.
Going to go ahead and quote my own post.I swear there's a search function around here somewhere
Hereis the guide I used and would suggest you try out if your getting a Rogers Magic.
Once you have it Rooted you can flash any ROM that is for a 32a board(288mb RAM)
Here the Roms that are moded to work for the Rogers Magic.

my 2 cent information on this matter.
I would take a look at "Ultimate Guide to Hacking your Sapphire Handset" http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking - which also is in a sticky post.
It goes thru most issues.
Note, SPL flashing is the dangerous part and is not nessary needed. I have flashed several firmwares (also the wrong ones - 32B/32a, just reflash to fix) and i have not flashed SPL. SPL flashing as i understand it, is needed when flashing an unsigned firmware or parts of it - like a nandroid restore.
The root access. You get it by using the Android SDK and fastboot/adb, and it allows you to do the flash (and write files to your phone). After that most firmware has root access allowed build into the firmware so i can be granted dynamically.

thanks, i had actually already gone thru the hacking wiki and other stickies but still had some questions. I think that CLINTONH's link should help the most. is there a reason not to use fatalitys hero rom on my magic? it was listed under the rogers rom repository thread.

None at all, unless you can't live without bluetooth. It works for listening to music with BT headphones but not with handsfree systems. I use it anyway, I tried other ROMS but the Sense UI is what I like. Some say there is lag but I don't find it lags any more than the stock ROM.
Clinton
Thanks Clinton, If i have time today at work im gonna try following your steps. So far ive just gotten the adb connection setup between my phone and mini.
Great post, I have many of these same questions. My Roger's Magic is out for delivery right now and I sure can't wait to get it up and running with my AT&T 3g service.
I've tried both JAC's 32a Hero and Fatality's, and personaly I had serious speed issues with Fatality's.
JAC's ran a lot faster on my phone, Nordic HTC Magic.

Really it was the opposite for me JAC's ROM did the force close on me often and would hang when opening Message app and Mail. Browser was pretty fast but not a huge difference between the 2. Fatal1ty's ROM was very smooth and fast, my wife said the same no lag at all she kept it on her Magic as well. Maybe you had a bad flash or didn't do a data wipe?? Is your phone a Rogers Magic? Weird.
Clinton
i thought with all that extra ram on the rogers' magic, the same amount that came on the hero, that there wouldnt be any sort of lag with sense UI and that it should be the same in perfomance as the real hero.

Unfortunately, the real Hero has quite alot of lag. From what I have used, the compcache'd ROM's for the G1 and 32B are alot faster than the actual Hero itself.
I got my Rogers magic in, unlocked on at&t. The first thing I did was rooted and stuck this Fatality rom on there. All i get it crashes in multiple menus .
I'm about to try the JAC one and see if it's any better. I don't care about the sense UI but need a non crashing rom + multitouch. Any ideas?

it probably needs a lot of optimizing for it run smooth then haha which is kinda unfortunate they didn't optimize before releasing the real hero.
I agree, i used hero rom on the G1, fully optimized and it was running pretty good with compcache. now, if we optimized and compcache it to run on the magic with the 288mb of ram, i'm sure it'll be really smooth! i hope i get my roger's magic soon, cant wait.

Are you sure you flashed it right, I think I've had maybe 2 crashes in the whole time I've had this ROM on my Magic. Please read through the Guide I linked to and fallow it the letter. Then download a copy of the ROM from the second link and do a full wipe before installing the new ROM.
Clinton
I've been using the 1.2 version of Fatality's ROM ever since he made it. It's worked so well I haven't even bothered to try out 1.3 or 1.4.
I find most of the lag with Sense has to do with all the background updating that the new widgets do (stock updates, contact FB syncing, etc..). Once those are minimized it's really zippy.
Personally, I love the connectivity of the UI. Everything just works so well together, it's so tight. I'm looking to get my car hooked up with BT, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Awesome, totally awesome.....as far as A boards go, ClintonH, your link should be the sticky for everything. I followed it exactly, with my rogers magic, and it just worked. I was nervous at first, but each step worked as it said it should. i now am running fatality's magic rom and its amazing. I love the sense ui, and i cant tell any more lag than with the rogers rom. A+++ the wiki might be a tad confusing, but if you use the files specified in clintons link, youll have no issues!

I thought that too, but I installed it twice and both times I got tons of crashes. The third rom I installed is the Jachero optimized rom and I haven't had one single crash yet.

I'm abandoning this thread, since there are now too many ports to keep track of, so don't expect any updates. Just make sure that any rom you flash on your phone is 32A compatible. These roms all have modified boot.img, wlan.ko, apnconfig.xml, and possibly some other tweaks to sweeten the pot.

I tried loading the stock rogers rom last night, didnt seem to work, told me it was unsigned, or do i need to push each one of the files individually.
And also when trying to load the HOfo community rom downloaded from both of the links posted here it told me that one of the files was corrupted. can't think of the file off the top of my head, sorry.
EDIT: sorry i dont have the engineering spl
thanks.
this was much needed.
Thanks for this, used your guide and moded ROM on the weekend it's great. Now the wife wants it on hers as well.

Thanks for this thread.
Could I flash any of these ROMS with just my rooted device or do I need to flash an SPL or something first?
Edit: nevermind, noticed the hofo link at the bottom of your post...
Thank you Skittles

SKITTLES Quick Question
By the way Skittles,
Do we HAVE to flash the SPL in order to use other roms? I heard SPL/Radio switching is the big danger. Can I install the hero rom just without flashing the SPL?

I believe you should be able to flash this to a Rogers Magic without changing your SPL, but changing your SPL makes it possible to make and restore Nandroid backups (which helps like crazy) so I would still recommend it.

I have made a nandroid backup already using the daldroid-recovery.img and the fastboot process. As far as I know I did this stuff without making any changes to my device. A raw backup through fastboot.
However, would I be unable to flash back the boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img using this same daldroid-recovery.img fastboot process?
What is the difference between what I am describing and actually changing or flashing the SPL version.
I just want to do this safely and be able to restore to factory (or stock) version of phone for warranty purposes.
Thanks skittles,

You technically could by using the Amon_RA's new recovery (it has the option for Nandroid restore). I have yet to try it with the stock SPL, but you probably could.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Typically, restoring a rom backup is done through fastboot, which is why you need an engineering SPL which won't signature check.

Thanks for all your help and all you work. 1 quick question about the hero rom, how do i get my phone to only check for email once a day
oh and how do you shut and open app, like browser
Anyone try that MyTouch3g rom yet?
just installed the ion version on my Australian 3 HTC magic! Modded a few images to how i like it before applying but so far so good.... when i get a bit more game will have a more in depth shot at theming it.....
any chance of theme template for ion or Hofo?
***EDIT**** well, it was working well, i have been using the overclock widget and twice now it has crashed the phone into a bootloop...no more overclock widget- esp. as the wife is yelling at me to come to bed! anyone else experienced this rom crashing like this?
Hello.
So I have installed the HTC Hero ROM for Magic by Fatal1ty successfully.
All is working well but for some MMS messages doesn't work anymore? SMS works fine.
[email protected] first off thanks a lot for your hard work =D
for the nk02's ION Multi5 rom do you happent o have a lite v4 version ? i just don't the hero skin... or maybe if there is a way to remove the skin that you know of?
just wondering, now that the MyTouch 3G is rooted, what ROMS(If any) currently work, or are we going to need to wait for some compatible ones to be made?
Thanks!
I will edit with a current list of what ROMS do and don't work with the MyTouch as word comes in...
Current ROMS reported to work:
fatalitys hero rom
cyanogens
Qtek Hero (Works very very well for me.)
This thread could be a good starting point for roms that have been tested on the MT3G. I think I read that one of the Cyanogen roms was installed. I'm interested in getting more HTC software on it (read; HTC Sync).
ive tried fatalitys hero rom, and cyanogens, and both work fine on my rooted MT3G
sounds like a great idea!
yeah, we MyTouch owners need to know whats next for us! If theres any good starting point for determining what current roms will work, this thread should try to help out with that.....
Now, i have a 32B board, so is it safe to say the magic 32B ROMS are fine for it? or is there enough of a difference to where it wont work?
From what I understand(which is not much, mind you) the only difference between the 32B Magics and the newer MyTouch was the SPL. With that now not an issue, shouldn't the current ROMS work, or am i wrong?

I'm only flashing the update.zip file and so I'm only flashing the OS part.
So the SPL, Radio, and etc stay the same.
Now I'm going to strip it down for him and see if it runs better.
Also, don't forget to wip the system befor flashing the new rom.
Cool I downloaded that one earlier. Have a friend making me a gold card to root with. Now where can I get the original SPL? I read that the ION radio is the same as the myTouch, is that right?
Are you guys flashing back to the 32b radio before you flash 32b roms , or you going straight after getting root to flashing roms ?

I installed 1 32A rom before flashing the radio and jumping on the 32B bandwagon. All was fine either way.
Question, I just finished rooting my mytouch, I have done all the steps except for the 'daredevil' portion which reverts to the 32b I think.
From my current position what roms can I use? and if I do the 'daredevil' approch what can i use?
Thank you.

Yup. That's the difference between utilizing the GiveMeRoot.zip or not. Without it 32A, with it 32B. I know you probably got that already, but if anybody else is reading I want to make sure there's no confusion. lol
Cyanogen flashed properly, although the accelerometer isn't working any longer for some reason. I have no idea of the fix, but the one listed in the FAQ is not working. Other than that, it's great.
Awesome thanks !
i tried flashing fatality's hero rom after doing the "basic" 32A root and i get stuck on the vodafone splash screen... i followed all the directions to the T, so no, fatality's rom does not work for everyone... would not recommend trying just yet
Ugh I'm totally lost with 32a vs 32b I mean I understand the memory difference or whatever, but I just want a ROM like what JF did to the G1. The default firmware with the addition of root. Nothing taken out, nothing added in. Except the kernel patched for tethering. Any suggestions? Everything I've seen is heavily modified.
And of course I still want factory images in case of a brick.

I would be careful running the 32a stuff on your phone. Even though you have the 32a radio and recovery your phone still has a 32B board in it. I flashed back 32b stuff, prefer not the have a brick. Just an FYI and my .02.

I just had to do a warranty exchange and ended up with the 1.33.0007 s-on H. I had to go through the entire goldcard procedure on the Unlockr's page in order to get that bad boy rooted... It was a pain but it worked great! Now running CM 4.2.14.1 with the Darkstar theme (love that theme). Check out the Unlockr's page. He lays out the steps in a really easy way to follow!

Sigh! The danger of assumptions and reading material that is a few months old. Just because something is posted does not mean it will work from then on. Manufacturers are constantly creating new versions of the software to stop hacking. Your fender is in that boat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
Even if you followed directions from that link and got your phone rooted, so what? You still need developers to modify Roms to fit that SPL/Radio. Right now, it seems a lot of the developers have left the Magic. Why no? There are newer and more exciting phones to cook.
So, whoever is reading this, please do research, google, and check whether your version of the software can be rooted or not. If rooted, whether you can find custom Roms to use.

I just rooted my Fender mytouch yesterday. Instead of using the sappimg.img from the unlockr, use the top one on Amon's page here
One Note:
I had to name it SAPPIMG.zip to get it recognized in hboot. I would try it with the .img extension first, then re-name it SAPPIMG.zip if that doesn't do it. After that, I loaded the fender stock rom from curserdroid's post in this same section. once that was loaded, I still had to downgrade by loading this spl and radio from hereWhen done, everything works, touch screen, 3.5 mm jack, etc. I would follow crypysmoker's steps in his post here.It worked in my case, and should take care of your phone as well- Chris

well thanks for that i deff looked around on a few sites as well as google and im getting diff opinions, and im aware of the lack of ROMS if any i think there is 1-3 at most, mostly being buggy and unstable. i guess thanks for taking the time to look
I am trying to root my mytouch and I cannot get it to work. I tried the goldcard method and it will not come up with the serial number when i try to pull it up in the cmd prompt under adb devices. IVe been trying for a couple hours looking at all these threads and nothing is working please help!
It would be very helpful to specify your exact model of the MT3G as well as the information displayed on the FastBoot screen.
I have the
32b
hboot -1.33.0006
radio 2.22.23.02
Its the mytouch 3g(not 1.2 or fender edition)
What SPL are you trying to flash, the 0006 is a perfected SPL, so you'd need to downgrade to say a 2005 Engineering SPL.
By the way, when it comes to goldcards its important to know that not all SD cards are compatible, if one fails to mount after the hex process, then you may just have to try a different brand/model of SD cards. (Kinda like how I would have used my 1GB as a gold card, but it wouldn't work, instead had to use my Sandisk 4GB).
Also what threads/procedures have you been trying to follow thus far?
Honestly I have no idea how to downgrade the SPL, I was looking at every post to crate the goldcard and None of them are working for me. Im not even getting to the point of where i can do any hex editing. It will detect the device under the fastboot through command prompt, but when i try to make sure I get the serial number under adb devices it will not work.
Hrm refrain from trying anything til I find a resource link. You may just need to have a single guide from scratch.
Which android is on the device btw (1.5, 1.6?)
K, based on the thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649281
Should give some tips on how to use adb, fastboot, etc.
And here's a MyTouch3G Rooting guide (updated)
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
I have the same SPL and had no problems rooting using the 1.5 downgrade method then flashing the recovery image.
There's a pretty good how to thread that has all steps from downgrading to cupcake to loading a new rom.
Only thing I'd change is I'd use the recovery in my sig.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586363
Im running 1.6 on there now. Its the stock rom. I will try this link out and let you know how it goes. Thanks!
I was able to get the recovery and everything loaded. I am trying to load a new rom and once it gets past the flash screen it seems to keep like rebooting i guess would be the way to describe it? do you have any recommendations for a 32b rom? I was looking for one with at least 2.0 and id like to have sense on there.

I prefer superd, but am currently using Blue Magic, both can be found in the G1 dev forum. Eclair will be laggy since there's no hardware acceleration yet, and sense will kill your ram.
I just use the roms in G1 because they mostly work on 32b, and most roms in the magic dev forum are 32a.
I wont suggest any 2.1 eclair/sense rom as of now. but I'd say this eclair rom is super nice http://www.mediafire.com/?tzjwo12nzky or jsut wait a couple days maybe less and it will be perfected for now I suggest this rom as it is fast and easy to use load up
WIPE all options
-first install this one http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=htcclay/&file=FastTest3.0.2RH.zip
-then this one on top of it (just install) http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=htcclay/&file=FastTest3.0.3RH.zip

First, I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.
I know this is the G1 area, but need help.
Well, I was looking at some tutorials from TheUnlockr.com and they seem pretty easy on a mytouch 3G. I have successfully installed Cupcake (1.5) on my phone.
But before I do the actual rooting, I wondered if anyone would be so nice to
guide me with installing [ROM] KiNgxKxROM Sense Hybrid Version 2.3 "Back to Work We Go" <11/9/09> - xda-developers onto my mytouch.
I don't know what to do, and I've tried reading the steps but I'm completely lost.
IDK if the steps are for G1 users or mytouch. I hear all these "spl"s and "radio"s and don't know what it is.
All I want is to install that ROM on my phone. the Unlockr says to download the ROM's .zip file and simply flash it, but idk if that's exactly what's required for the above ROM.
Anyone suggest other ROM that has the HERO Sense UI?
and what's a gold card? do I need that?
and I only have a 1GB MicroSD card...idk if that's relevant, thanks so much!
*facepalm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
well that link doesn't work.
All I'm basically asking is if I can just load the already downloaded "ROM" and simply dragging it to my SD card to be able to install....since it's for the G1 and idk if it's the same process as the mytouch.

I beg to differ. The link does work.
You should read about spls and radios before flashing roms. Anyway, good luck.
It should work in your case....and if it doesnt....no harm done.
So you're saying that I don't need spls?
You do need an spl.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
Yes, it does work. It's a link to a thread stickied in this forum. It's called ***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"
There is no point spoonfeeding you information because you don't *learn* and just end up following a bunch of steps without understanding what you're doing. This greatly increases your chance of doing something wrong just because someone tells you to, this can and does happen, usually unintentionally because a certain step worked for someone else but not for you because your phone can be different in a way you don't yet realise.
You haven't even told us what phone you have, let alone any technical information about it. So, go look into specific information about your handset. Learn about what SPL you have now, this will tell you if you need a goldcard or not (Magic) or whether you need to install the DangerSPL (G1) or not. SPL is very dependent on the radio installed, if you get the versions wrong you will brick your phone. Learn about recovery images and install one on the phone. Depending on ROM, you may have to partition your SD card, which you can do from recovery.
I hope that's enough of a good start for you. If not, I would suggest not taking the risk bricking your phone and just be happy with what you have.

Could you guide me through?
I'm new to this rooting stuff and when I was looking at theUnlockr videos the guy didn't mention anything about SPL, he simply said to drag the ROM into the SD card and then wipe, partition, and flash or something like that.
But since the rom im trying to install is for G1 and Mytouch I'm not sure if the same process is for both or just the G1.
Well, I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G with 1.5, IDK about the other stuff, but here's some info I found on my phone:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B
HBOOT-1.33.0006
RADIO 2.22.19.261
IDK, that's it.

You will need SPL's, a swap partition, etc. etc.
Seems like you only have the stock SD card.
Your device will not even be usable on a daily basis without at least a class 4 microSDHC
Go for a basic Eclair or Donut rom first before you do some serious damage to our phone.
And there literally is a MyTouch3g section... This is a G1 section.. if you're just getting started, you're better off over there.
Oooooooo
Can I run this on sapphire? When's the next update?
I can't even believe this thread is happening....
