Wirless tether root for magic?

is there a way to get wifi tether for root users on the I/O device to work. Seems like there is something missing from the os. I saw an outdated post where it says to upgrade the kernal but stops other things from working and didn't want to do that. My friend also on here is trying to make a rom for the device with the hero theme on it and I asked him he said he will look into it but didn't really know. If anyone knows would be greatly appreciated.

It's built in to the Smartphone France ROMs

I'm also desperate to get tethering on my magic (running a hero rom) any help greatly appreciated, as i'm moving soon and don't want an ISP!

this has been answered before, if you have a 32B magic almost every custom rom supports it, and if you have a 32A magic the answer is not possible for now.

There's the first benefit of having a 32B over 32A! I'm not as upset about my 32B anymore Though this will change, i'm sure.

it's true, you can rub the tehering app all you want in our faces but at the end you will never be able to get more ram but us, we have a high chance of getting it to work lol in your face?

I had wireless tethering running no problem on my 32B. The thing is, I've installed so many ROMS lately that I can't remember which one I had installed when it was working. All I know is that it was a Hero ROM.

To be honest, I'd swap my 32B for a 32A right now, even if the tethering app never worked on a 32A. I just want more ram after seeing a HTC Hero running with Rosie.
If there's only a ram difference between 32A and B then why doesnt the Tethering app work already? I thought all it required was root access? The 32A has been rooted... hasn't it?

Download the .apk from here and try installing it manually?

tether
Yen if you have a 32B board sapphire you can look back a few posts and flash my hero build which is a port from jac dream build to the magic hardware. It has wick tether built in on the rim and works fine. The one with the wifi fix is back a few pages. Bur works good and quick.

[DEV] Running Hero ROM on 32A with new radio and SPL

Hi all!
OK, so I had some spare time on my hands this afternoon and I came up with something pretty neat.
Ever notice how the HTC Hero and the HTC Magic 32A are nearly identical in specs? Same processor, same ROM, same RAM... Then why do all these devs port the HTC Hero ROMs over to 32B/Dream and then we get to try to port them to 32A? It always ends up being a mess of custom work and the problem of 'too many chefs in the kitchen'. I'm not slamming anyone's hard work here, but I wanted to find some other way.
The HTC Hero uses nearly identical radio and SPL as the new radio and SPL for the Magic 32A.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
My device:
HTC Magic 32A
Radio: 6.35.07.29
SPL: 1.76.2007
Hero ROM used - HTC Generic 2.73 (rooted)
Changes Made that affect functionality:
- replaced boot.img and wlan.ko from CursorSense32A-0.3
- Umm, that's it...
What works:
- Wifi
- Camera
- LEDs
Untested (because I'm at work!)
- Bluetooth (pairs with my laptop, but can't test audio or a2dp)
Cosmetics
- Bluetooth name is HTC Hero
As you can see, it already works better than the initial HTC Hero stuff we got from the Dream devs before.
Am I stupid? Why did I do this when there is already a proper HTC Sense ROM for the Magic 32A? Because right now the Dream/32B devs have in their possession the HTC Hero 2.1 image and it's being ported to 32B/Dream. And now we're left trying to port these ROMs to the 32A platform. It's kinda like driving from New York to Toronto via Mexico City.
I'm excited to try some of these tactics on the Hero 2.1 ROM. I'm sure it'll work very much the same.

Why so many threads?

awesome work cursor!
This will probably kick start the Magic 32A development and the Rogers Dream.

I prefer to keep a thread on topic and not always change the subject. This is a new topic.
Mods merge if necessary.

If you get it working I would be more than happy to update my SPL.

will the flash cause the it to become perfect SPL?

Anything you see from me will only use an eng SPL.

Awesome
Keep up the great ideas. Now this really something I'd like to see developed. Sounds like this could really clean up some code for us who own the Rogers Magic
Thanks

I can confirm this method works since I just did the same thing.
unfortunately, it did not work on new Hero 2.1 ROM. The screen stay black after HTC magic logo.

I am in
Keep it up. I can also Make Testing and even Making ROMS

Just tried Hero-ASOP 1.6 and its running. No wifi, camera, etc. but everthing else seems good.
And by everthing else I mean google synch, maps, browser, market.

Has anyone tried the new official Magic ROM?

Hi, I noticed on twitter yesterday that there is a new Magic ROM
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
The category is ROM upgrade, and the date is 2010-01-28
I had to use twitter to find it, as it didn't show under a normal search (probably as I have UK as my country).
Is it the long awaited Android upgrade?
Thanks
Dan.

Well.. not sure if long awaited..
But it is the official Android 1.5 Sense UI rom for the HTC Magic!
It basically turns your Magic into a Hero (multitouch browsing, usb-tethering, HTC Sense widgets, HTC keyboard, etc.)
For me, the long awaited will be the Android 2.1 Sense UI rom, which will hopefully hit the Magic by the end of March.
Installation Instructions:
ROM Version:3.05.401.3
Improved Functions
This ROM Upgrade for your HTC Magic will let you experience HTC SenseTM on your phone. HTC SenseTM lets you create a phone just right for you. You can customize your experience to be any way you like. Discover intuitive experiences that make everything you do on your phone effortless and delightful.

Aha, ok, thanks for getting back to me.
The wait for 2.1 continues...

This ROM has been posted already.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621415

Mmm, I did see that one but didn't think it could be the same, as the thread was started on the 21st, and the date on the support page was 28th and the twitter details came in yesterday (and again this morning).
All very odd, I guess HTC's support page isn't quite 100% accurate.

I'm seriously considering to buy Magic as my second phone. I hope to get used to Android before I will switch fully. I have a few questions, though. I hope someone will find the time to answer.
- Is it Magic 32A that is needed for this update?
- Is 32A superior to 32B in terms of memory or other features?
- How can I easily tell the model (i.e. 32A or 32B) when holding the handset in my hands? (say, I'll be allowed to reboot or do any non-destructive actions
- Is it true that Magic will get an official Android 2.x update?
Thanks for your answers. I need to decide fast - the price is very good.
Cheers

- Is it Magic 32A that is needed for this update?
Yes
- Is 32A superior to 32B in terms of memory or other features?
It just has more ram afaik.
- How can I easily tell the model (i.e. 32A or 32B) when holding the handset in my hands? (say, I'll be allowed to reboot or do any non-destructive actions
Reboot whilst holding the 'back' key. On the fastboot screen you'll see PVT 32A or 32B.
- Is it true that Magic will get an official Android 2.x update?
Apparently!

st0kes, thanks for your answers (I know I'm a bit late to say thanks)..
since the guy who was "selling" that Magic ceased to communicate (after I told him that I want 32A and I will verify it before I buy the handset), I have a few more questions.
- I might get Magic from US, but I have no idea if 32A was ever sold in US. where can one buy 32A handset in US?
- by what names goes 32A in different countries?
- how much RAM exactly sports 32A?
- any idea where can one buy 32A in The Netherlands?
thanks in advance

Good morning,
I also managed to get it up and running but not without a few bad words
But it is working, looks very stable and fast and not so vanilla anymore
One thing though... I'm working with Google Apps and my phone flawlessly synched all my contact. When I go to the "People" tab I get "all" my contacts and there is no way to select/show the ones with phone numbers only.
With the original ROM I was able to select/show contacts with phone numbers only.
Do I overlook something here or should I wait for an update?
Thanks and have a nice day!

New to MyTouch3g

Like the title says I am new to the Mytouch. I rooted my Sprint Hero about a month ago and I love what I was able to get out of it. My girlfriend seeing my happiness with it has since asked me if it would make her Mytouch run better. So basically she wants me to root her phone and add a good ROM. I have herard of cyanogen and all but what would be a good daily Rom for her. Just something quicker and better on battery. I know what setcpu can do for my phone. But whats the best for a MyTouch3g? Thank you in advance.

Depends how she uses her phone... what firmware she wants (1.6 or 2.1) and either Vanilla Donut or s Sense rom

Needs more details on exactly which MyTouch 3G it is, as right now there's 4 variants
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32B SPL (aka Magic 32B)
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32A SPL (aka Magic 32A)
- MyTouch 3G LE (Limited Edition Fender, 32A)
- MyTouch 3G 1.2 (32A with headphone jack)
The last two are essentially identical, and are currently the only two MyTouch 3Gs actively sold (other than any old stock of the v1), but is also the only ones that has no real custom roms, if you want to root the last two you have to read very carefully which procedure you're using since its not the same ones as the Magic 32B/A. For example the only real working rooting process is linked in my signature for the last two and currently limited to the stock rom as being the fully functional one.
As you're probably already aware with your Sprint phone... you shouldn't just blindly flash radios/boots etc as you find them cuz it wouldn't be hard at all to brick the Fender or MyTouch 3G 1.2, by flashing a radio intended for the older MyTouches (ie: any thread that talks about Magic 32A or 32B)

I would be looking for a 1.6 build. I wanna give her something daily/stable and usable. Vanilla is fine seeing thats what she is used to. I duno what version of the MYTouch it is I know its not a Fender and it doesnt have the 3.5 mm headphone jack. When she bought it it was 1.5 and like a day later it upped to 1.6. Like with my phone I am doing my research. Dont wanna brick her phone. She would kill me and cut me in my sleep.

Since it doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, it would be the original MyTouch 3G, which leaves you a lot of options both 32A and 32B (though you'll see a lot more choices including Cyanogenmod for 32B).
If she were to downgrade back to the 1.5 rom, I think CM has a one-click-rooting capability.
Instructions can be found here. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
After completion should have a rooted 1.6 cyanogenmod rom.

In that case i think Cyanogen is perfect because it's stable and usually gets updated every month or so and not all the time every week got to flash a new update with new problems

where is all the 32B roms

I come here very often to look for roms for my mytouch 32b, but all I see mostly is 32a roms, can someone direct me to a place that has a good amount of roms for my 32b device please, oh and ty devs for all the hard work you to for us flashers.

Most roms for Dream should also be capable with 32B, so look in the Dream section.
Search first next time.

sapphire is 32a
go to the dream 32b forum
search is your friend

We hid them from you. We knew you were coming and moved them.
lol, Check the G1/dream section. Thats what you want

re
I have been to the dream section and have used it for a while, but I decided to come over here and look at roms for my mytouch, and sapphire is 32a and 32b, I'm looking for a very fast hero because I use jetflicks and it has a great video player that remembers where I left off.

so you dont listen to what we told you?
32b is identical to the g1 - therefore 32b roms are for the dream
you are only going to find 32a roms and a couple 32b roms in this section -
your 32b phone is not really compatible with the 6.XX radio so any roms will likely not be posted here as mytouch 32b is the same as a g1 so its under the appropriate section (notice most roms are built for both mt3g and g1)
32a is for EBI 1 dreams and 32a magics - 32b magics can use ebi1 radio 3.xx but is not reccomended since the 32b roms are generally built specifically for your device
your best hero rom will be kingklicks

I did listen and no one made it that clear, they said they hid them ( joking of course ) I'm not a noob at this but I'm not a developer either and I am new to the mytouch I have had a g1 forever. Your post was very informative and cleared up everyting thank-you for taking the time too esplain luccy lol. (alan)
