I know that the bluetooth does not work and its not a biggy but my question is whats the latest and greatest hero build that wont brick my 32A Rogers Magic
Any help would be greatly appriciated
Great Forum By The way

Opps sorry

I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.
hello, im new to all this and have searched the forums and could not find anything that really helped me so im asking now
i have a htc magic with donut (updated from cupcake) 32b and was wondering how to root it as i wanted to install a custom rom
this is quite confusing to me, however i've done similar things with psp's ds's ect
if you could tell me, or even point me in the direction of a simple guide that would be great!
thanks

I dont think hi vil read this
Hi, been scanning the 'general' threads for a while, but didn't see an answer for this (maybe because it's obvious, idk )
Anyway, should a MT3G 1.0 owner (first gen MT3G) flash ROMS from the MT3G forum or the G1 forum? I know it has to be a ROM for 32b, but beyond that - is there any advantage/disadvantage? Or are all ROMS for the first gen MT and the G1 the same?
I've been flashing from G1 forums, and have been happy with the roms, but am just wondering if I should be taking them from the MT3G forum, i.e. if there's any difference/benefit...still a noob, and trying to figure things out. Thanks for any insight!
Honestly the Sapphire forum was around long before the MT3G. I see a lot of people in the G1 forum making their roms compatible with G1/32B (32B Means mytouch3g) So go there if you can. Check out cyan 2.1!

99% of ROMs for the G1 is compatible with the original mytouch. Also sapphire ROMs/32B Magic ROMs are compatible also.
If you want an Android 2.1 ROM that has a great dev and is fully working then check out the latest Cyanogen. The ROMs title is in my sig.
Thanks guys for the tips. I figured as much, about the g1 and original mytouch roms being good for both devices, but just wanted to put it out there out of curiosity. And thanks for the cyanogen tip too - thinking about trying it, but tbh I'm addicted to sense ui. I just think it looks so much nicer than stock android, so I've been sticking to sense roms only...but sounds like cyanogen is the stock rom to go with if I change my mind!
This is a total noob question but the sprint ported roms for Eris... if I use those it still works Verizon? I really don't quite know what porting is so my bad and thank you in advance for the simple answer lol
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
Really...??? No-one can help me with this simple question? Thats dissapointing Ive since done a little research on porting but i still dont know the answer to my above question. So again, the sprint and hero ROM ports on jCases "Known Eris ROMs, Hacks and Patches" thread, can i flash those and still use my phone on verizon or is it the otherway around..? Flash and use phone with sprint instead of verizon? I JUST WANT TO FLASH THESE ROMS!!! They look better then some of the 2.1 sense based ROMs and I'm NOT ready for Froyo yet, but before i flash i must have this question answered!!! I dont want to mess ANYTHING up to do with the actual carrieirs. please help
