Hi Guys,
I am totally new to this Android stuff but I love it and would love to learn about it. I have just bought an HTC Magic (32A) which has a logo of TIM on it. It has firmware version 1.4 and the build number is 2.15.901.4.
What I want to do is upgrade my phone to the latest version of Android, and also have the Sense UI installed in it. But I do not know where to start or what to look for. Can somebody here, kindly, briefly describe how can I achieve my target or atleast point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Kamil Waheed

P.S you need to root it, flash the new radio, SPL and recovery and then flash a ROM of your choice which is for the new radio. (2.1 Sense ROMs for the new radio are better than those for the old one(3.22)
Thanks for your reply.
Yea, I know I should google it but googling didn't help a bit. I am a bit too confused right now.
I have found a few tutorials on how to root it.
After that, how to flash the new radio. Instead, I should ask, what is radio?
What is SPL and how to flash that?
What is recovery and how to flash that?
Which ROM should I flash to? Can you also give me a link to one?
I am sorry, but I know nothing about Android. A little more help would be appreciated.
It might help to read this first.

I able to update ROM's OK ( Using Dutty's v4.0 ROM, many thanks for that its great Duddy donation on it's way).
I am using a phone that was originally on the UK Orange network. I thought that once I uploaded the new ROM I would get rid of the horrible "Orange" opening screen, but it's still there. Can someone tell me to change the opening screen please.
Thanks Ed

But.....??? Why search first? If I just ask the question in a new thread, it is much easier on me. It's fast, it's free and best of all, I don't have to do anything to help myself. So, no need to "search and find" as you put it!

Full drop was not posible.
So made a copy of the System folder.
If you like the work of me & my source, don't forget to help us buying a beer.

Great work Xmoo
Thanks
Thanks so much man =D
Hi guys,
i don't understand it's a bootable file system or it's for developers?
Thanks
Neither really... its like having premonition of what our G1 system folder might look like in the next... oh.... 6 months? Some of us are working on implementing these new goodies into a Dream build but nothing I know of is working yet.
Thanks xmoo you're a star mate!
may finally get bluetooth and wifi working on the Polaris as well as oher devices.
Thanks well done no cooking new firmware files
I take it your source was unable to drop the entire image? Would be awesome if so. We could have some pretty awesome modded firmwares.
without a hardware keyboard you can't do anything in the root
could try gscript
mini keyboard
hi
is it possible to use this keyboard and an adapter to plug into the GP and modify the root manually ?

I recently swapped my TyTN for Wizard and I used DarkVisions 5.0 rom on it, it was simple, worked well, its was just great. Now, I couldn't find a same one for Wizard, but I also couldn't find a similar one. I don't want that 6.5 scrolling menu, all I want is a simple menu like this, so can someone recommend at least a similar rom to this? Here's a screenshot. Thanks in advance!

I know DarkVisions WM6.5 v5 only for htc Hermes.. ! you can try MSD-Wizard-WM6.5-23085.rar (52.13 MB) for your wizard, if you're interested you can download it at http://www.mediafire.com/?3tmtt4izann
Ok, but this is just "nk.nbf" file, I need those update tools, right?
I tried to swap this file with the same one for "CR96 Touch HD v2.9 Clean" and it installed the same ROM again.
Ok, I got that RUU MUN update thingy and copied this file you gave me with the update tool in the same folder, ran the update, everything went smoothly, done the update 100%, device restarted and it was the same damned ROM there! What the hell is going on?
*bump
Anyone has any idea what is going on? I'm fairly new to all this, all the help would be greatly appreciated.
btw. DarkVisions is before developed for Wizard. Ask utak3r about it.
pff..

i think you need a gold card, try reading this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523160
ok, still going to need some help here....
The phone will NOT boot at all etc, and I cant get the CID to create a gold card.
And even if I DID create a gold card, how would I go about flashing when the phone only goes to the above screens shown?????
Anyone fancy taking me step by step in exactly what I need to do?
well im not a developer or anything, im just trying to help, your problem is not that hard, if you have a knowledge in fastboot command you can fix your issue with just a little bit of reading, others solve this kind of problem just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372533 and if you dont know how abd fastboot go'es try reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 sorry if keep telling you to read, im not a developer i just have a little knowledge about this things, and maybe someone maybe able to help you step by step on how you will do it, good luck..
Flash RUU, or try using Revolutionary to S-OFF in fastboot mode.
Before you ask for more detailed instructions - SEARCH. Start with the INDEX thread in General section.
i was able to nab a hox on kijiji for a pretty nice deal.
and after lots of reading i was able to get this thing rooted and put TWRP on it.
this came with CM10.1 on it already. i purchased an unlock code and the code did not work it gave some network unlock unsuccessful message.
anyways i was told i need to be on a stock sense rom for the code to work. thus my journey to find a TELUS stock rom for this thing and i have found nothing. i provided the picture of the fastboot screen below. it already has s-off whatever that means. and it is on hboot 1.11.
can someone point me in the right direction? thanks.
any help is appreciated.

Download a sense Rom from our development section drag it over any way you like to your phone wipe data flash Rom put unlock code and profit
can you recommend one that is as close to stock as possible?
also what is super cid and why would i need it? been reading a lot and coming from an s2 there is a whole lot more to getting these HTC's to play nice.
No need for any other modyfiying you have s off which is security off which means you can do anything with your phone... I recommend you try viper xl!

But if you're looking for a very close to stock Rom I suggest clean Rom
