I would like to upgrade my 32A sense UI'ed Magic.. But I'm lost.

Ok last summer, I bought a Magic and have it upgraded to HTC sense interface.
I forgot how I did that and what I should do next.
In fastboot, what I see is:
--------------------------------------------------------
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
And Clear data, Yes/No option. That's ALL about the fastboot.
--------------------------------------------------------
In Settings, it shows:
--------------------------------------------------------
* Firmware version: 1.5
* Baseband version: 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.29
* Kernel version: 2.6.27-5469d459 [email protected] #901
* Build number: 3.03.707.5 CL#75968 release-keys
--------------------------------------------------------
What I know:
* The Magic was upgraded by myself more than half a year ago, I forgot how I did that already
* Recently I have a new Nexus One and had it unlocked, rooted, RA-nexus-v1.5.3, and upgraded it with CyanMOD 5.0 Beta 5 (newest)
--------------------------------------------------------
Now what I want is:
* Android 1.6 or higher (2.0 or even 2.1 is preferred)
* to get it even faster
* HTC sense UI is preferred (esp its smart dialer)
* the system has to be very stable
* more ROM/RAM can be used, if possible
---------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone please tell me what I should do now?
Thank you very much for your help...!

Looks like you updated using the official update utility. If so, you are stuck for now.
edit - But you say you did it more than half a year ago? The official update only came out in the last few weeks...

The Hong Kong Sense UI update many people used was released mid-November. Not half a year ago, yes, but still.

1.76.0007 is a perfected spl but you can get rid of it. Where is your phone from? If it's from Europe then run this RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625108, it contains a modified SU binary that can let you flash a new recovery and engineering spl found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239. Follow the instructions posted by this member, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239, and then follow the take me back steps in cursordroid's thread because most Eclair ROMs use the old radio and spl ,but there is one or two that work with new radio. If you're phone isn't from Europe, run the RUU find the rom.zip temporary folder (search the forums), flash it with a goldcard (again search the forums) and follow all the instructions after flashing the ROM. Good luck.

Thanks guys. Yes I'm in Hong Kong. I'm not sure whether the phone is from Singapore or Europe. I'll need to check it out with the method mentioned in the reply above.
Just a quick question, would it make a huge improvement in speed after I got the phone further upgraded? If not, maybe i'd just keep it as it is now...
Thanks again.

Well, the stock Sense UI rom is slower than Cursorsense (modded Sense ROM), but I don't know how much faster the android 1.6,2.01,2.1 ROMs are, but most likely all of them are faster.

[Q] No OTAs - Restored to Stock

Hey Guys.
Got a little bit of a problem. A while back I flashed Android Revolution HD and a custom recovery.
I recently restored to a stock Vodafone ROM using the 1.24 RUU. The update went fine and everything seems to be running normally except for one thing: I can't update from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 as I'm not receiving any OTA updates whatsoever. Whenever I check for updates, it just says there are none available.
Internet connection is working; it's still Vodafone branded; etc. It just isn't receiving any updates when I check for them.
Any suggestions? Would using the 1.27 RUU make a difference? If it would...please provide a link, as all the ones I've tried are broken.
Regards.

Are you super Cid? Still? You need to set it to the correct CID to get the ota.

For some reason the Vodafone 1.24 for some reason isn't getting OTAs any more - go here and get the 1.27 RUU and you should then get OTAs to take it to 1.50.161.1

[Q] Wifi and Bluetooth and battery problem

Hi there,
I have a couple of problems with my htc desire S:
1. The wifi won't work -> I get a message: "unable to scan for wifi networks
Ï did many factory resets, one time it did work, until i walked out of reach, the phone crashed
2. The bluetooth wont work
My old nokia can find it when i turned bluetooth on, but it can't connect
when im looking in "hardware information" it tells me for wifi and bluetooth adress: unavailible
3. The desire S turns off when i leave it with a full battery after a few hours.
to start it up again I need to plug it in the charger and charge it for one minute (after 5 minutes, its full again)
First, I updated the htc, but the problems where still there...
after that I tried the following things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
that worked, I used flashed this rom couple of times:
Nik_Project_X_v4.1_By_Nikhil007_DesireS -> won't change anything about the problems
I currently use this rom: HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.9_DEODEXED_PREROOTED -> won't change anything about the problems
So I thougt, maybe it's the radio... In the boot menu it says: "S-ON" and Hboot2.00.002 so i tried to downgrade it, to unlock the NAND via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
but I keep getting the message from the RUU
"image fail [155]"
try the right RUU version... I tried this versions:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed

I'm stuck here...

As far as i know it's not branded... I can use any simcard
I want to make it 100% stock again before I moddify something again, I hope to solve the error's that way.
Am I doing this in the right order, or do I need to do something else?
thanks in advance!

3 options:
1. Follow the downgrade guide by making the phone "think" that your software version is lower than the actual one (can be done through ADB utility and the "misc_version" command in the console (if you are on Windows) or through Termina (if you are on Linux or MacOS), which will allow you to downgrade through the RUU file, and then upgrade to latest version by using OTA updates
2. Gain S-OFF on the current software, and then try to flash newer and newer radios one at a time, until the problem is resolved
3. Something inside the phone itself broke/fried, and you can only hope that service center will help you with repairing your DS

Well, I was able to "downgrade" to:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed
but I still got HBoot-2.00.0002, so I can't gain S-off.
so I tried:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
what resulted in the same result.
Are there somt thing's I forget?
(Radio is also still the same version...)

I've update'd the htc to ics with the ruu
I got a WIFI MAC adress now, it found my network once, but after it did it once, it still does not work, same for the BT..
so it does work but it also does not...

[Q] OTA update flashing

Hi,
I am a brand new member and have come in search of some help here.
I recently purchased HTC One XL from ebay and this was from a Hong Kong seller. I was very happy receive this phone and started to play around with the device. This device is 2 weeks old now.
When I checked the software version details on this phone, I found that it is the old firmware on the device and I encountered 2 problems already:
1. Sound is very feable even if I put the volume to its maximum level. It feels as a distant sound in a quiet room.
2. Whenever I use any app and come out of it, the home screen takes a long time to load (5-7 seconds! That feels eternity!!)
Now I tried contacting the HTC Folks over in Australia as well as in Hong Kong and they asked me to Hard Reset the phone. This resolved one of the issue of the home screen taking a long to load. But the sound issue still persists.
The fella from Hong Kong then told me to check the software version on the phone, and when I checked, he/she said that I am running on a old version of the software. And I cannot update the phone.
Can anyone please help me with this?
The details about my phone software:
1.77.708.2
File Timestamp: 18/04/12
Publically Seen: 02/05/12
Android: 4.0.3
Kernel: 3.0.8-01129-g3dc8148

radio: 0.16a.32.09.17_2_10.83.32.16
adsp: 25.1.0.32.0405
This matches exactly in the description in the thread here in XDA-Developers forum here
I also see that the latest version listed here matches with what the HTC Hong Kong person told me:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:26:04 [Yan Chung] :
I see. But the offical version should be Android™4.1 with HTC Sense 4+, software version:3.17.708.5. So you phone is not an offical version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I tried to go to the recovery screen by pressing the Volume Down key and the Power key and here is what I see:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, You can install a RUU.

Noteworthy you are supetcid with soff. As already said flash a ruu.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Note, if you have a custom recovery installed, OTA will fail.
If the phone is rooted and S-off, why install OTA at all? There are newer and better stock-ish ROMs that you can just flash from custom recovery.
In any case, I don't think firmware will fix your sound issue. Its worth a try to install a different ROM. But it may also be a hardware problem.

Hi,
Wow what a wonderful place. Thank you all, you wonderful people out here.
@redpoint73- can you please help me with the link of where to get better ROM for my device? And the procedure to install.
PS: I have a prior experience of flashing a custom ROM from Cyanogenmod for my Motorola Cliq XT. So that should essentially be same.
Also, to mention here, when I reboot to recovery mode, I could see Clockwork Mod Recovery already present. And using the Backup option of the recovery, I have already taken a full backup of the device, just in case..
I am looking forward to a better ROM for this device. Hope someone helps with some options.
Also, there were some few terms those are new to me like S-Off, SuperCID, don't bother to explain but one help- Is my phone ready to be flashed with a custom ROM or RUU ?
Do let me know?
To all wonderful people out here.
Best Regards,
Saabir

If you used Clockworkmod on your previous phone, its no different on the One XL. Just download the ROM either direct to the phone, or transfer from your PC to the phone. Then boot into recovery. Factory reset (in recovery only, not in bootloader) wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, select the ROM, and flash it. Reboot and enjoy.
But I would also look at the CWM version, and post it here. There was an older, unofficial port that caused some serious issues for some folks. But the "official" supported version is just great.

[Completed] Infinite HTS brilliant Loading screen (probably bricked not sure tho) Please Guide me

Hello a totally blind noob here!
So I somehow managed to root my HTC One XL a few years ago and haven't updated it since. Now with Pokemon Go being released I have tried to unroot my device to update it and used the tool on this link.
htc1guru . com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-841-1-zip/[/url]
Despite the actual navigation of this tool being simple I still followed a video guide and through the whole process there were no warnings or failures and everything was going great and then it was successful so I thought I was done.
As per the instructions of the reset tool I selected the option to wipe the data partitions then opted for the Stock Recovery but did not select the stock radio, then it did it's installation.
However upon its reboot the phone never made it past the HTC Quietly Brilliant logo with white backdrop.
Upon inspection in the boot loader I discovered that my installed TWRP recovery was still there despite supposedly being "removed".
I really cant afford a new phone atm so I desperately need to un-screw up this phone, guidance is immensely appreciated.
Device specs are as follows:
CID- Telstra TELST001
Evita PUT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 2 . 14 0000 (Don't know if this is my firmware or how exactly i can find that in fastboot)
RaDIO- 1 . 26a . 32 . 45 . 19
OpenDSP- v34 . 1 . 0 . 45 . 1219
eMMC- Boot
Nov 26 2012 (not sure why this is here but i don't know if its important or not).
The TWRP I have installed is v2 . 4 . 1 . 0
