everyone,
good day.
I just got a new HTC-MAGIC (Docomo HTC-03) here in Japan.
But I need chinese input method in my daily life, but unfortunately,
the unit here in Japan only have Japanese IME input and english input method.
After reading some materials over the forum and other resources, I found out I have two options.
1. Flash the Taiwan's rom.
2. add the chinese IME input method. ( htc_cime_cht_magic_6.6MB_update)
but the problem now is I don't know how to start.
After reading a lot of materials, I already get confused...
Can anyone here help me?
here is the information of my unit
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP20000)
CPLD-10

If you want only IME, then you can find chinese input at Market.
But I don't remember original rom had Chinese locale, if it has, you don't need to flash.
If you need to flash, however, you need to have your unit rooted.
I suggest 1click rooting method. It is very convenient and safe.
Actually, I had bricked my unit as you can see in my signature.
Please google 'flashrec', then you can find
Good luck!

I'm curious, how did you brick the HT-03A? I rooted many of mine without issue, just followed Haykuro's instructions using SAPPIMG/goldcard method.
thanks for the reply. I checked the market already. But i didnot get what I want.
The best thing I get now is the chinese input extracted from the official taiwan rom.
I want to flash to my HTC-03. But I dont now how.
I tried to create a goldcard, but it doesn't work. I am not sure the casued of the problem. But i guess it is caused by the environment (I am using windows 7).
Can anyone help me?

Thanks for the reply. I already read this one.
But the problem now is I am not "rooted" and geting some problem like
downloading Haykuro's rom.. etc.
Please check it, If you want to a chinese IME.
Hi,
If you want to only chinese IME,Please check the "Google Pinyin IME" by google.

Check your version first though. Make sure it's compatible.
I don't think you need to put on other rom. Just need to root and have recovery.

I have a question, I have flashed a eng spl with Goldcard
now the fastboot information as following:
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005（SAPP20000）
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Recovery version:RAv1.2.1H
I found I could only flash 32A rom,could not flash 32B rom.
When I try to flash a 32B rom,it would stick at the 1st screen.
Though "H" mean HTC type devices,but it still a 32B devices.
I am not sure whether this situation is normal.
Or how Could I flash a 32B rom? Flash a eng Google spl ?
Many thanks!
Flash from update.zip?
I have never tried fastboot and goldcard, so cant help you on that.

I am using the Google Pinyin IME now.
I know that the NTT docomo HT-03A is not including "Chinese Locale.
But I know we can "install" or flash it into the unit to have the Chinese Locale.
Thanks.

this is the problem. I cannot find the correct one.

I think you may have forgotten to flash the 32B radio... Reread Ramon's post twords the bottom there are the radio and flash instructions...
You also need to flash the RAV1.2.1G recovery...

I have not tried the one-click method, but i hear its really simple, but i have rooted several phones useing RAmon's guide, and havent had any problems.
Your device (HT-03) is a 32B phone, when useing Ramon's steps, it will have you flash an spl that has a 32A radio, at the end he gives you steps to flash a 32B radio..

No devices found when you were tring to flash the radio? thats using fast boot, And I believe it just tells you waiting for device if it isn't found..

Hi all
Using instructions from here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
To downgrade my Vodafone UK 32B Magic from 1.6 to 1.5 but after trying to HBOOT with the SAPPIMG.nbh provided, it gets so far then fails saying 'Model ID Incorrect'.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Do u formatt your sdcard in FAT32 full mod? Not quick format!

Yes I did. And just to be certain i've just done it again and I get the same error. It looks like it is doing it, then it says something like 'Checking signature' then the error comes up.
Do you put the sappimg.nbh in root of sdcard? Not in folder.
Yes, it finds the file. It is the only file on my SD card, not in a folder. It asks if I want to continue. Blue progress bar appears in the top right of the screen, it goes all the way (takes about 1-2 mins) then the message 'Model ID Incorrect' appears.
Man... try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Hmmm. The reason I went to for http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod as a set of instructions is it was all on one page, looked fairly simple and it was recommended by someone with the same phone as me.
The other link looks complicated and I haven't got a clue what it does.
Maybe you need create a Goldcard, and the other link can help you make this.
I think. It´s a tip.
Anyone got any further on how to downgrade 1.6 to 1.5 on a Vodafone 32B Magic without using the Goldcard method?
I'm suffering the same problem, is this problem documented anywhere else and apart from the GoldCard method are there any other solutions?
Hey guys I'm new to this android hacking scene but I've finally managed to do it after doing near enough everything the wrong way lol
I am also using the vodafone 32b UK phone (well its my sisters really ) and I also used the same 'CyanogenMod' guide to do what I wanted (root/custom roms at last!)
Before i go any further though... are you all wanting to downgrade to simply install custom roms etc.. or is it for different reasons?
If its for different reasons then I have no idea on how to downgrade but for the other thing then I can probably help you out! I won't waste my time typing it out yet though if its not what is needed..
Hi, yes I want to downgrade so I can install custom ROMs.
I too had this problem with a Vodafone UK 32B Magic trying the "Downgrading from 1.6 TO 1.5 and Rooting for T-Mobile MT3G" method.
But when I tried the alternative "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" method at that link, in other words using the Android SDK & fastboot to boot the cm-recovery-1.4, that worked like a dream.
So I didn't need to go the goldcard route.
This is good news sandersw.
Where is the easiest step by step for the method you suggest?

I did that allready but i cannot understand if there is a way of doing that or not. I think that this forum is for helping people.
I used this method for about six months ago, it's certainly more ways to root your sapphire but her is one.

There are many many tutorials here that will help. If you would search a bit you would find it rather then expec someone tot ake time out to sit down and hold your hand.
Im not trying to be an ass here, but how will you learn if someone else has to do it for you?
You have a perfected SPL im sure because the fender has 0013 and its perfected. Which means you need to find Amon ras Perfected SPL thread. combine that with the rooting/downgrade methods and you will be all set.
But honestly, if you cant remember the name of a rom you want, then how will you downgrade your phone....
no help..
Listen: I've search a lot around at these pages. Many hours!! But as you'll have noticed if you had read my phone specifi, there are not many who can get a SPL 0014 updated. and those you have I'm not sure how they did and what they use.
There's no treats for a SPL 0014 and that's why I started one.
If you don't know how to help me and others who have the same problem then you just don't have to answer.
Hope someone else can help because I really can't find a how to guide for this specific SPL.
THANKS!
Hey guys, apologies if this is a commonly asked question, but I've spent all day attempting to root my HTC Magic. I've tried methods such as fastboot (get a error message, tried Flashrec with an Amon Ra recovery, that didn't want to work either, and now I really dont know where to go. My phone details are as followed:

Can anyone give me a set of instructions that will explain (the more detailed the better) how to Root my HTC Magic, and then install a custom ROM onto it? (looking to get 2.1 onto it) I've got the ADB up and running, so theres a start?
I would love you forever and ever, and perhaps give you a cookie?
thankyou in advance,
james
Erm... If you go into H-Boot (Volume Down + Power) You see 32A (bla bla bla) S-(ON/OFF) and then is it a 'H' or 'G'?
