HTC MAGIC original ROM running on TIM, unbranded A6161, Rogers, ... by daldroid

Hi all,
here you can find my modded recovery image and a rom based on the original rom for HTC magic (model A6161 sold in scandinavia).
BEWARE, it works on TIM Magic, recovery was tested on Original Unbranded Magic, but the rom has to be tested yet.
I modded it to grant root access from adb shell. It doesn't work unmodified on Vodafone Magic and other devices with modified SPL. SPL working for this ROM is .2008, Board is PVT 32A.
I've no time to provide a step-by-step guide right now. Sorry to be in a hurry.
You have to download the images, then:
- copy the signed zip file as update.zip into your sd card root
- fastboot the recovery image
- select nandroid backup from the menu (so you're going to dump your original ROM)
- select wipe data
- select apply update
- select reboot
- wait a long time for the first initialization.
I'm sorry for italian guys, it seems TIM sim customizes the phone for noverca. You'll have to change your apn settings, so during the wizard setup, press ignore when asked for google account setup. You'll configure it later.
DISCLAIMER: WARNING, you're going to format all of your data and the rom has not been tested for full functionality. Flashing unofficial roms ROMs will invalidate your warranty and you can make your device unusable. Do it at your own responsability. Non experienced users, please wait for for feedbacks by more experienced users.

1) Download the .zip file
2) Rename it to update.zip and transfer it to SD card
3) reboot in recovery mode (fastboot daldroid recovery if you didn't flash a modded recovery)
4) optionally select WIPE from the menu (I only had time to test with WIPE, as for initial setup. Maybe working without wiping too)
5) reboot
6) Make your initial setup. select "change language" to have the full list available

oh very nice!
thanks

little help for italian TIM users
In this way you can backup your original TIM image
fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img
magic reboots
- select nandroid backup from the menu (so you're going to dump your original ROM)
if you want to flash the new image i sugest you to wait the HERO image that Daldroid will prepare.

it works!
thank you!

Nice work Daldroid...
Could you make one HTC rom for the Vodafonebranded HTC Magic?

@angelsanges: Hero magic for Magic? That sounds nice, any infos on when / what will be in it?

Just tested the rom on my org. htc magic and it is working fine. It is nice to have root
thx a lot daldroid

You are welcome.
When I have some more time, I would like to fill the first posts I reserved in this thread with info about confirmed working installation, etc.
Let's say any info (or link to already posted info) could be of help to other users of the community.
Counting on the help of users having successfully flashed these images to fill a small template about your model, original radio version, spl, kernel version, CPLD, board, etc. etc..
I'm asking this because we have to think that in the future other different models could be released and some new user could try to flash these images only because he bought an Original HTC (do you remember how many of us tried booting the vodafone Magic images with the only result to hang on splash screen?)
A detailed table of confirmed working phones could be of help to them.

Did you follow the steps in the correct order? What was the result of fastboot?
Did the fastboot also hang on the splash screen?
Do you have a TIM, Original HTC Magic or Rogers phone or do you have vodafone one?
Since it's not your first flash, I assume you already flashed your phone, so I suppose you have a vodafone Magic/sapphire.
In that case the board is PVT 32B (not PVT 32A) and you have a different bootloader. And in this case the fastboot shoud have hanged on logo screen.
If not able to fastboot my recovery-image, I suppose you flashed the ROM with a recovery image you already flashed.
If my assuptions are true, you have to boot in recovery-mode from your flashed recovery (or fastbooting into a working recovery for your phone) and flash again your previous ROM image with the procedure you are used to.
This ROM doesn't work on VODAFONE Magics.
Let me know

You're stuck with the same SPL that a lot of people have. It doesn't allow remote fastboot commands.
Ty the Flashrec (Recovery Flasher) instructions here on the forum to see if that works for you. Remember to download the HTC Hero recovery.img though, it's the only one that works with the 6.35.07.29 radio on these devices.
Try these instructions:
(I know it says for Hero, but the guide works on 32A magic with 6.35.07.29 radio)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613
Use this recovery image instead of the Modaco/Cyanogen one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
If that works, then you'll need to flash an engineering SPL.
Download it from here and save it to your SD card:
http://www.4shared.com/file/167241823/658e8174/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html
Boot into recovery by turning off your phone, then turning it on by holding Home and pressing Power. Choose the update.zip and you're good to go.
Then you can flash it back to original 32A radio and SPL using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544761
If the Recovery Flasher doesn't work, then you need to wait until somebody figures out how to root this SPL/ROM combination.

I have problems with flashrec. I installed it but when i tried to backup i see "Backup FAILED" and when i try to type sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img (i have cm-hero-recovery.img in my sdcard) the Flash Custom Recovery Image button not active... And in adb shell i dont have su permissions...

OK, then your ROM has the kernel security hole closed that Flashrec needs to run.
You're stuck waiting until somebody figures it out.

Can i downgrade it? When i will create a GoldCard with what rom i can do it? Now i have HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_3.03.728.4 (for Malaysia).

I was missing the Android Market wich didnt come with the Singapore RUU so just downloaded the the HK RUU, ran it with a gold card (dont know if thats really neccesary) and got Market.
The point being - if people are on the Singapore official update, would it be somehow possible to "patch" the HK RUU files from the temporary folders where it stores the files for the update? To say, replace the original HBOOT with an ENG HBOOT (possibly *.2007?)?
Since Singapore rom version is lower than the HK one..:
Singapore: ROM Version: 3.03.728.4(For Indonesia, Malaysia& Vietnam only)
HK-E: ROM Version: 3.03.990.6
..possibly it would skip the "wrong main version" or whatever it says during the update..?
Am I onto something here?

well first 728.4 or 990.6 is just the region code. 3.03 is the version number. and second, the right singapore rom number is 3.03.707.5 WITH market. u have downloaded a vietnam rom instead of singapore one. u can switch anyone of them without problem with goldcard since they are basically the same rom with tiny difference.

any asia RUU is ok

yes you are right. SG rom comes with market.
I have tried malaysia rom, vodaphone rom.
vodaphone rom is the fastest one for me but my pc didn't detect my phone if I install vodaphone hk rom. But it is faster than SG rom.
I have installed my SG rom on my phone several times.
no brick.
the thing is when I tried to replace any rom.zip or rom1.zip in the temp file with any other rom, somehow installation detected that i have replaced the files.
even I signed the zip. it didn't work.
even the signed the zip correctly, it will stop at hboot.
then got to install from RUU again.
HBoot seems to be so hard to crack and too strong to brick

double post..

can you tell me the step please. cause im using indonesian ruu & no market.
its perfect spl too..
Thx.. adr

About that "Backup FAILED" using Flashrec.apk..
I got that very same error when I used it on my new magic. BUT, when tried a second time (just hitting flash again) it WORKED! try if it works for you too.
I had an old 1.33 spl but don't think that part matters here

How to root after updating to 2.56.494.7 rom

I had to update my phone with the above rom in RUU mode because it was stuck in RUU mode and couldnt do anything. I have a goldcard created but I dont know what SPL to install because of the rom version. would anybody be so kind as to helping me what to do next. Thanks.

Go in fastboot by pressing back+power (while your phone is switched off) and tell as what your SPL and radio version is. I suspect it's a 1.33.xx.xx SPL and 3.22.xx.xx radio, but you should better tell us in order to help you.

HBOOT is 1.33.0010
RADIO 3.22.30.17
Im on a 32b, S-ON H.

Are you sure it's 32B, S-ON H. If it's 32B, it should be S-ON G. Be very careful. If you flash your 32B Magic with a ROM that is meant for a 32A, you may brick your phone.

what originally happened is that i accidentally flashed my phone with an 32a RUU update, which didnt finish and got stuck on the RUU mode screen. I flashed it with an arabic RUU and i now my phone is up and running again. That is definitely what comes up on the fastboot screen. Is there a 32b RUU that I can update to? or can i root my phone?
Official 3.03.990.6 SenseUI ROM for Vodafone - is where I got the rom from.

You should follow the instructions on this post. A friend of mine did the same thing and I used those instructions to install Amon_RA's ROM for 32B Magic.
Since you' ve already installed the Arabic ROM, you should do the rest:
Then follow below link to root the phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how...-in-one-click/
Then start phone recovery mode and update the SPL to ENG SPL 1.33. 2005 from below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Your phone should be 32A now, if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:

Put the flashrec.apk in the androidsdk folder. From a command prompt (the path should be that of your androidsdk folder) run:
Code:
adb install flashrec.apk
Put the exact name of the flashrec app you downloaded.

thanks. btw the image version i am using is 2.56.494.7. does that mean any above that i can upgrade to?

Lesson learned: Don't try to mess with your phone while drunk. You won't be able to boot into recovery and wipe the damn rom off so then you can flash everything you want.
I can give you instructions on how to make a goldcard and try to flash it back, but without a working recovery, I think it all went to hell.
PS: Have a Bacardi and Cola on my behalf, you just ultra bricked your phone. =)

No he did not brick his phone since he can get into fastboot.
You should find a RUU for your phone and run that one. (one of the 32B RUU's)
The other option is to download a sappimg.zip/nbh and put in on your SDCard (most probably you will need a goldcard) and power your phone on while holding vol down+power.
3. Did flashrec work? If it did flash Amon_Ra's 1.6.2 H recovery and flash w/e you want from there

2. Download recovery and install it if you didn't do it yet. It could be performed by using Clockwork's app from the market. You can also use Clockwork's recovery if you want.
Note: The new OTA 2.2.1 update is going to restore original recovery after each boot, and will delete the custom one. (This happened to me) I tried flashing ROM before it was deleted and got Boot loops, no matter what ROM I used. Boot loop is when your phone got stuck on the green "MyTouch" image and restarts in circles. This is my way of doing it because I was a noob and found it longer but easy. Search through the thread, some of the users described that it is not necessary to downgrade. What helped me was flashing Android 1.5, then updating it to 1.6, and from there installing custom ROM. It worked for me, I'm not sure it will work for everyone. dasunsrule32 says you need custom SPL for doing it, but it worked for me without one.
Tutorial is here, chose section DOWNGRADE TO DONUT OTA:
3. Download flashable zips (radio and hboot) from xillius200 post (here) and download Ohsaka's superwipe here
4. Put Radio, hboot, and superwipe zip files into root directory of your SD card.
5. Make a nandroid back up (through recovery). And do Titanium back up of your apps and data, read the note:
Note: your current ROM might not be working with new radio and SPL, as mine OTA Rom did not work. I had to flash specific one. So make sure you backed up your apps and data. Titanium backup from Market should work fine.
6. Download ROM that you will be using. Make sure it works with the SPL and Radio you will be changing.
7. Make sure you have done step 4. Go into recovery and chose "install zip" and pick superwipe. Wait for it to finish and Chose "Power OFF." and then boot up into recovery.
8. Now you are good to flash Radio. Chose "Flash Zip" and pick radio and flash it. Your phone should reboot, I think mine didn't so I had to do it manually.
9. Boot into recovery again and now flash hboot zip file. Your phone should reboot after flashing.
10. Now you should be done and can flash the ROM. You can check your radio and SPL by booting your phone by pressing Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time.
PS: I take no responsibility if you brick your device.

before you can do step 1, your device needs to be rooted....

Excellent guide AntonJart. Much appreciated!

Is there a advantage to upgrading? And if so what is it. I am running asop beatmod 32b 2.2.1 amon rec . Great post thanks

It should free a bit of ram, 14 mb if I'm not mistaken, and allow to use cool ROMs.

assuming that user already has root, but I added the step. I think I did not know about custom SPL and Radio all the way after rooting and flashing first custom ROM.

Are there any zips that flash the new (6.35) radio for the 32a with the headphone jack

This is a massive noob question but I've been running CM6.1 for ages now but I'm starting to get sick of the lagging. Now that CM won't be releasing any more versions for the magic (or so we're told) I was thinking about flashing a stripped down rom for speedy daily use, something like what Yoshi has been doing maybe?
I have my device info below and I've searched around for ages to understand what I need to be looking for with new radios etc but I am a little lost. Can anyone direct me towards what I should be looking for? even recommending a rom/kernal/radio combination that might offer speed and functionality?
Device Info:
HTC Vodafone Magic (Australia)
Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261

Many thanks!!!

Yoshi's Rom is super fast and stable. I'm not sure if this guide will work for Vodafone magic, but this radio and SPL is what needed for yoshi's ROM.
By the way, you can try flashing his 1.4 micro twist and see if it works for you. It is super duper fast rom.

Thanks AntonJart, I'll give Yoshi's a go.

Good job! Who wanna sticky? You wanna sticky? You gotta sticky!

Will it make sense for me to upgrade to your SPL/Radio or do I already have a new version?

Thanks for this wonderful post, but an important correction. There is no need to downgrade to Donut when flashing a rom. All you need is a rom with a 2708/28.25/0013spl compatible kernel. Or flash ezterry's compatible kernel (link in my sig) after whichever rom you install.
I rooted my T-mobile MT3G 32B running oem 2.2.1 with superoneclick, flashed ra recovery via rom manager, did a full wipe in amon ra recovery, flashed a rom, flashed ezterry's kernel and booted right up.
There is absolutely no need to downgrade to Donut.

I went thru all of the steps and rebooted my phone after installing my ROM and it still showed the stock radio and hboot. My phone did not reboot either time I installed the radio or the hboot. I had to reboot it myself. Can anyone help?

Does it work on Roger's htc magic?

I had the green screen reboot going on. When I booted into Hboot it should the new radio and hboot but the phone kept on rebooting. Any help?

I even tried to rename the ROM to udate.zip still rebooting my touch screen.
