I'm using HTC Branded Magic ( PVT32A board ). I like some ROM for PVT32B only. Can I use 32B ROM on 32A board ????
Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks for reading !!
Hi linhnd,
I'm still quite new in this forum and have only had my Magic for 2 weeks now. But for what I'm convinced - you cannot use a 32B ROM on your 32A device as out-of-the-box sollution.
I've seen on other treads, that some people have managed to fix and modify a ROM to use on a different device. So it should maybe be possible...
Try surfing around -
Yeap, I known 32B ROM can't use for 32A boards. But I'm finding solution for that )
Try to see this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538588
It seems fairly easy to make a change 32A vs 32B - maybe it can be used the other way around also...
For those of you who doesn't know about this yet, check it out over here:

I know i posted in the wrong forum, sorry :/ But it is still a ROM.
Topic says 32B so i guess its 32B only still
This is available for both 32a and 32b HTC Magics?
Have anyone try it on 32A Device ?
i do not think that 2.1 can run on magic 32a atm. Need to have port to be able to run on 32a board.

This ROM is native to the Hero platform, which is essentially the 32A Magic.
These devs have ported it for 32B and will then create a patch to port it to 32A. It's like taking the long way around to get right back to where you were before.
I'll wait for a clean 32A port of this ROM.
This might be a naive question but why is it that all latest roms released are ported to 32b devices first? Isn't the Hero 2.1 rom designed for devices with 288MB RAM? Shouldn't support for the 32a Magic be the first one available?
I'm just glad that they are ported to 32b first, i got a 32b of course

i guess dev create rom first for 32b because of the number of 32b devices. I think 32a devices are not many in numbers.
About 32A go HERE

And the dev is using a T-Mobile MyTouch3g, which is a 32B device.
What bothers me is that these images leaked from HTC are hoarded by the devs in the Dream forums and we're the last ones to get a peek in at them. We always end up porting the ROMs that they create instead of having a chance to build some of our own.

Same here! 32B HTC Magic!
All 32A users can boot it with kernel image..

Hey, I have this hero2.1 for the hero from htc in the development stages, how would i begin to port this on my 32b magic. A few links and help would be nice.

Thanks.
lol, whatever.
There are plenty of other HTC Hero 2.1 DEV roms that work for 32b, try the G1 section because those work too.
A mod just closed this thread because a newbie posted it, but this is actually legit. Thanks kitu-miyashi
ROM-Upgrade mit HTC Sense™ für HTC Magic (Vodafone)
Release Date: 2010-02-08
http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=875
I think this is the first HTC Sense update for the 32B platform.
I want to know what radio and spl this contains, even if this probably is just a patched Android 1.5
Can someone run the RUU and extract the nbh?
Edit:
What the hell are there 32A Magic German Vodafones now? Sorry if I am behind the curve. Someone just extract the nbh and put me out of my misery.
http://www.htc.com/de/product/magic/specification.html
I don't know.
If they have 32A Magics now, it's probably 32A then. Move it to the Sapphire thread to be buried.
Sorry for wasting your time guys if this is the case.
Edit2:
Allow me to replicate what has been said over at the German forums.
HTC screwed up the serial check on the webpage, so not even the German users are able to download the update. The Germans are freaking out about why they can't download the update. Some have emailed HTC, and HTC isn't sending the file (http://www.android-hilfe.de/htc-magic/16902-htc-sense-rom-fuer-vodafone-verfuegbar.html).
The Germans suspect that this is indeed a Sense UI for the 32B, as it is ROM-Version:2.16.151.3 with a date of Feb 8.
To compare, the 32A Sense UI released by HTC is ROM-Version:3.05.401.3, with a date of Jan 28.
Why the heck would HTC release a newer rom with an older version string?
Also, the 32B German Vodafone Magic is only known to be 32B. See for yourself: http://www.htc.com/de/product/magic/specification.html
The official word from Vodafone is that the update IS LEGIT FOR 32B VODAFONE MAGICs. But it is distributed via OTA via Vodafone this month.
What we do know is that the rom has been cooked by HTC, and it is Sense UI for 32B.
Edit3:
Not sense. HTC made a typo.
This is old news and a rom based on it was made and you should look around. Compare the specs of the Dream and Magic then try to figure out why the Dream wont be getting this update.

This is not old news. The VF Magic is a 32B and this is the first official Sense UI for the 32B. So far it has only been done for the 32A with a 6 series radio.
This update either contains a Sense UI system image with support for the 3 series radio, or a new 6 series SPL for the 32B board.
I'm not posting this for the Dream. If a mod feels like it they can move this to Magic Dev, but I thought this is the place to talk about 32B Magic work.

Is there a ROM that is SenseUI based, and not a HERO ROM?? what ROM are you talking about, I was wondering if there was a port from the 32a updates
I doubt this update works for the 32B Dream.

I'm not saying this ROM is any good. This is just an official update and we can probably pull some useful bits of out it.

The HTC Hero runs the Sense UI which is found on the tatoo and Sapphire or Rogers.The rom from jcarz is based on a Sense rom for Magic so yes, there is a sense rom avail and I think one of MLIGN's roms are based off of a Magic dump.

sometimes the OTA updates take awhile to start up, but I dont think this is old news if this is the official SenseUI update for the 32b boards, might be able to get a dump from it

I understand all that, i thought all the roms we had were HERO ROM based, cause the Tattoo doesnt run a HERO build its runs a SenseUI donut 1.6 I thought

Non of these ROMs have bt working. And maybe this new upgrade is optimized vor the low ram size

My point was that they all run the Sense UI and the Hero isnt running some special version of it.The only difference is the boot screen that says hero and shows a android moving on the Magic.Tatoo is barely popular and no roms here are based on it cause it was too difficult to port.

...htc.com/de/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=875&news_id=528
Htc branded
...htc.com/de/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=862&news_id=510

i know the tattoo dump was difficult due to the difference in screen size, but a official update for 32b might be a bit more refined with the SenseUI. I just thought there might be a use for the 32b update the dude above has the right idea it might be optimized for our ph0nes, instead of a huge HERO ROM

you always ramble incorrect information. different phones are running different versions of sense ui. also tattoo was difficult to port because of the resolution. eugene ported it though.
also the tattoo is a donut hero.
anyone have a serial number we can use to download the update?
Can I upgrade for my Google ION ? Anyone have IME of Vodafone Magic ?
well this is official for HTC Magic 32B will it work on my mytouch? and I want it now!
Finding TONS of dead 4shared links to the file Eugene was linking everyone to, but can't find the 32a (3.2.2 version I believe) radio anywhere. For the folks running 32b boards, is it now common practice to flash radio and use 32a ROMS?
If so, can someone direct me to the the radio image (and anything else I might need beyond fastboot or adb)?
Also, once I've flashed to 32a, I'm hoping to find a Sense 2.1 ROM with bluetooth. Anyone know of a working one? If not, how about a recommendation to a working Eclair ROM (preferably with bluetooth also, but I can live w/o)?
Thanks in advance. I've been searching and feel like either 32b is largely abandoned or I'm missing something (perhaps because is "common knowledge" now and I've been focusing on the Droid community for a while and am out of the loop).
Don't try to flash a 32A Radio to a 32B phone. Won't work at best and may brick your phone at worst!
These are hardwarewise different devices. Or did I miss your point?
nope you can flash a 32A radio on your 32B as long as you follow procedures correctly. I don't know too much about them but I see people doing it all the time. I wouldn't flash the 6.35 32A radio though, just the 3.22. I highly doubt you can use the 2.1 sense rom with 3.22
32B isn't abandonned, theres more for that than 32A. 32A people like myself have to find ports as I don't know how to make one! Most the 32A roms are unstable anyways (for example, 2.1) Until we receive something official, it's not the best everyday rom
yeah id like help withg this as well
most of the 32b roms suck and arent sense haha
like the above poster said
all our roms are just 32b or hero ports
the ones that are stable are 32b
no point in being 32a if you dont have too

Bluetooth is one reason, finding a decent Sense ROM is another.
Bluetooth is a reason? Are you sure?

My current understanding is that there isn't a sense ROM out there where BT works with 32B radio. No longer true?
there are no decent sense roms
the only ones run outdated 1.5 or are 2.1 builds for NEW 6.35 radio
with your 32b low memory sense is not really gonna work any better and you should stick to the 32b ports for sense roms
any sense roms basically require new 6.35 radio to work properly which a 32b cannot support
