Question about compatibility - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Hey guys.
I own an HTC Magic (Israeli version... guess it's EU), and I was wondering if I can install on it ROM's which are compatible with HTC myTouch 3G, without any doubts.
I don't really know anything about installing ROM's, and that's why I'm asking.
P.S:
by saying "ROM's which are compatible with HTC myTouch 3G" I mean something such as the one called "[ROM][32A] HTC Magic Fender Edition! MyTouch LE [01-25-2010]"
THANKS!

check if your magic is a 32A or 32B version. (hold Back+power - it boots into fastboot, the top line shows this version number)
If its 32A you can install 32A roms and if its 32B you can install 32B roms.

Android 2.1 now with Sense UI - Rom Available for 32b

For those of you who doesn't know about this yet, check it out over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592568
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.

HTC Releases Sense UI For The HTC Magic

As reported on Android Central here
http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-releases-sense-ui-htc-magic
Download on HTC Europe here
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862
I entered the S/N of my Vodafone AU 32B however the webpage said the download is "not available for your device", I assume this is a 32A update.
Any chance of a backport to 32B?
Nobody has been able to download the update, not even the users with 32A. I know cuse i tried
Same here...32A and can't download it. CursorSense uses newer version anyway
goldcard
can we use this version to on a goldcard? i'm stuck with the stupid rogers update with perfected spl (1.76.0010)
I have a MyTouch 3G and I am in the UK. Will this work? And also, it isn't working for me neither
what android version is it? 1,5 still?

If your in the UK, it's most likely you have a Vodafone-branded HTC Magic. MyTouch 3G is the US T-Mobile branding for the HTC Magic.
However, both the MyTouch 3G & the Vodafone HTC Magic have one thing in common - they're both 32B. Trying to use that RUU will brick your phone.
I know what I have. It is the MyTouch 3G branded T-Mobile. I bought it and had it shipped from US.
This has been confirmed for 32A with Perfect SPL
Download up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621415
Hopefully some nice dev will do a 32B port. I guess HTC don't think the 32B with its' decreased amount of RAM is an ideal platform for Sense.
Works Great been running it for a week now.. Rogers in Canada put this update out last week.. Love the Sense UI.. they also upped the Clock speed too..

Just for info: ROM Upgrade with HTC Sense for HTC Magic

Hi guys,
HTC has just released Sense UI for the HTC Magic!
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862
I tryed to download it but with my S/N I get:
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
Byezzz
Ps.
I have a branded 32A Italian Sapphire.. where I can find this ROM with Italian lang?
I can confirm that both 32A and 32B italian (Tim and Vodafone) cannot download (yet) this upgrade. Can someone provide the serial nr. to try to download this ROM and test it on 32A and 32B with brand?
Thanks
Android 1.5 or 1.6 like Tattoo?
My (Vodafone 32B) S/N isn't working, too.
I'm pretty sure it's 32B only anyway (although it's the official German release and the only Magic you can get here is 32B)

The Sense update is only for 32A. However it would probably installa a perfect SPL, so I suggest you not to install it.
Guys, any help from your side to download?
either S/N or the rapid share link?
thanks.
Andfreek!..
didnt work for my MyTouch 3G
This ROM should problably be for the Sapphire- without google.
The German Magic are VF Poineer (with google or GEP)- so this SN doesn`t work and also probably the update itself.
In Switzerland and Austria you can get the "without google". these one are the korrekt ones for the download.

Official HTC Upgrade for Vodafone Magic (No sense so nvm)

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

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.

I can see what seems to be 2 official updates from htc,and seems to be 32b both of them:
Vodafone branded

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!

HTC Magic???

I have a question to moderators. Where was the section devoted to HTC Magic moved to? If you can, throw off the link on THE FIRMWARE ON (rom bible)HTC MAGIC 32B, PLEASE.
