Today I've got an HTC Magic, 32A version, and I want to make it run Sense UI so can anybody please tell me which ROM should I install?
You can give me link to the thread for that ROM, and if you can, a link to How To Install ROM on Android tutorial...
Thank you very much.
And please forgive me if theres already thread about this, I'm just so excited.

but for this he has to put hero spl n radio
i would prefer u to use this
its fast and very nice looking rom
Here it is << click
Thats way too complicated, I need some clean install rom that looks and feels exactly like on HTC Hero...
What u want is CursorSense....
Read this wiki on how to get around your magic... (Rooting, flashing SPL so on...)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
once you read through the wiki flash an engineering spl to your phone and then go through CursorDroids guide on how to flash his rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
Thank you, that looks awesome. But it sounds as complicated as the first suggestion. C an I just download it and load it somehow? And what do you think about 2.1 hero rom?
It really isn't too much work to get the new SPL and Radio installed if you follow the instructions. Very little risk involved, as long as you follow instructions.
Can anyone please tell me how to install myhero rom it is way easier from what i see than all of these and im n00b so i dont know anything about roms.

Please read the Sapphire hacking Wiki.
the search for threads that instruct you on how to root your phone.
You'll probably end up using a program called Recovery Flasher, or Flashrec.
As long as you don't flash your SPL first thing, you can't brick your phone.
Flashing Magic GyD (32A) is less complicated.
It's probably the best MagicSense rom out right now.
I haven't tried CursorSense yet though, so what's it about anyway? Flashing a Hero rom with a Hero SPL? So you can run roms meant for the HTC Hero?
So when 2.1 Sense comes out for Hero that would work fine on the SPL right?
Can CursorSense be run on an HTC Hero?
my-hero 2.0.5 is my choice. GyD always gave me trouble (the software, not the guy ;-))
Im new in this whole android thing but i can see myself flashing phone etc. because im pretty god at symbian and OSx, but both WM and Android are so new experience for me, thats why i came here. I've read it but i still don't get it.
Which programs for computer and for phone should i first download if i want to install myhero 2.0.5 since i already downloaded the rom...?
please, be patient with me, i want to do all of this but im just not capable of doing it at the moment.

Well I just checked out CursorSense and it's very worth it if you want a solid Hero rom. It's the fastest, I've seen.
I think 2.1 roms will be developed on that SPL/Radio soon.
try this

Yes definitely, I agree that this is probably the best and safest way to root your phone.
ok, i think im gonna read some more about cursorsense and finally, if i have guts, im gonna do it. If i decide that i cannot, im gonna try myhero or this visual thingy
Please please please just tell me if this http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/ is what i have to do to install myhero 2.0.5. without bricking the device?

OK, first of all, you need to know your SPL version.
Power off your phone.
Start it up by holding Back and pressing Power.
Type all of that information into this thread and then we can help point you in the right direction.

I also tried to install one click to root but i couldnt manage to get Hero rom (again -.- ) because of Can't chown/mod /system/xbin error, line 18. The same error i got when i tried to install MyHero 2.0.5
You cant flash any other roms to your phone until you get an engineering spl flashed... thats what the S-ON indicates... once you have an eng spl it will say S-OFF and you will be able to flash whatever to your phone... the first thing you need is another recovery though i recommend amon ra's
I have a question to ask. I'm going to get an HTC hero on Sprint and i've seen all the hacks. If I were to hack it, how would I get the Sense UI Launcher back? I'm very fond of it, but i'm also fond of Gingerbread. If anybody has the instructions or solution. Tell me. THANK YOU!!!
When you get the phone it will have Sense on it. After you've rooted & flashed GB or whatever you have flashed, just flash a Sense Rom. If you want to unroot, you'll need to look that up as I'm only familiar with EVOs.
If you're getting a new phone, why get a hero? Do they even make those anymore or are you getting a used one?
Aosp rom
Im making the hero my little hacking toy. If I want to use the Sense rom, can i still use the aosp one??? I really dont know how to flash it on the aosp rom. Thank you
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here.
You can use a Sense ROM or an AOSP ROM, but not both at the same time. Before you flash anything, do a nandroid backup in recovery. Then, if you decide you like what you had better, you can just restore from your backup & everything will look exactly like it did. You can flash however many ROMs you want, just be sure you know what you're doing first. I would suggest reading everything you can here on xda. Really, just read and read and read. When you're ready to flash something, just follow the instructions by the letter. And, don't forget to do a backup first.
Oh thank you!! Im gonna look for a 2.3 sense rom and read around. Sorry im a n00b on xda. Lol
As far as I know no HTC phones have been released or leaked running 2.3. So no 2.3 Sense roms yet.
Hello,
first of all, sorry for being a noob, I hope this question wasn't asked anywhere else (I checked but couldn't find anything about it)
I bought the DS about 4 Months ago and really, I love it. Still, I would like to tweak it a little bit and give MIUI a try! BUT I'm reaaaally afraid of screwing my phone up! (I had a HTC Magic which I rooted and flashed several times but here it seems to be a totally different operation).
Here are my questions:
1) Is MIUI installable on UPDATED (Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5) HTC Desire S with OFFICIAL HTC OTA update yet?
2) Is it possible to backup my files and fallback to my old settings easily?
3) Is the battery life convincing on MIUI? (I feel great with 2 days of middle-intensity use.)
4) Could someone guide me through every different steps? There are so much links everywhere I dunno where to look and I'm afraid to miss important things etc. etc. This would really be so much appreciated and after that I could do a toppic (if needed) with every information concentrated for noobs like me ;-)
Thanks in advance!
Thomas
PS: sorry for my english!
1.MIUI is completely different rom and u can install whatever Sense rom u have.
2.yes.Use nandroid backup or Titanium backup for apps
3.battery life is good on miui.
4.for this one u need to use search.i'll just give u this link to start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
Thanks a lot for that fast answer, iI'll take a look at that and come back if there are things I'm hesitating about!
Little question: I know it's a different rom, I meant, is it possible to S-Off and root Updated HTC Desire S and then Flahs MIUI yet? Considering it's been updated the official way ^^
EDIT:
Okay so, if I get it right: I need
1) to S-Off (if my updated device doesn't fit the conditions it should be refused on revolutionary website)
2) to ROOT (Gingerbreak or Superoneclick APKs)
3) Do I need to install a custom recovery? for example ClockWorkMod? (it's written in OUTDATED on the tutorial, is it a problem?)
4) Then I should be able to flash MIUI
Right?
Thanks a lot
Yep, you've got it
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Thanks a lot!
I'd like to try rooting and flashing today but on Revolutionary page they say we need HTC Drivers for fastboot: they provide a download link which is dead, do you know where I can find them? To be sure not to download the wrong files?
EDIT: Files are back on, sorry!
Updated HTC Desire S is HBOOT 2.00.0002 which isn't supported by revolutionnary :-( can't root for now...
Then you need to downgrade first.

Oh I think i'm starting to get it hehe
Is downgrading a simple operation or is it difficult? Shouldn't I wait for revolutionary to support my HBOOT? Will it take long? Sorry for being a noob but I really wanna do things well.
Thanks a lot for your answers!
its simple but please search and read all instructions.it takes 10 sec
Roger that !
Thanks a lot for your help !
I'm pretty sure that htcdev.com will be able to s-off your device. It's not listed in the official devices, but many people reported its working. It seems much easier, as you won't need to downgrade.
What are the main advantages of rooting my HTC sensation?

BEFORE you do anything make sure you read, read and re-read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
BE CAREFUL, it's easy to brick the phone if you don't read and understand, especially if you start applying Firmware updates required for ICS. A few folks have managed to get the latest firmware applied and removed S-OFF, this is a problem as the revolutionary.io method to S-OFF won't work with the later Firmware versions.
Make sure you read the guides before you start, I can't stress this enough.
S-OFF switches off the security flag. (REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DO MOST THINGS)
Custom Recovery (e.g. CWM or 4EXT) allows you to install custom ROMs and other components.
The Custom ROMs are generally smaller in size and faster that the stock HTC one. You can also install different kernels allowing you to increase the CPU speed, e.g. 1.2GHz to 1.7GHz in some cases.
Another benefit is that you can use Titanium to backup and recover components of the ROM, data and apps. Another benefit is the ability to use nandroid ackup/recovery. Nandroid is a complete phone backup whereas Titanium is at a more granular level.
Before you do any of the above, do the following:
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the 'Software version' - this is the MOST important thing you need to make a note of.
Once you have that number, post back here so we can advise if an RUU is available to you for warranty purposes
Custom ROMs - better than stock

(some apps require root too)
There are a lot of answers for "what are the advantages of rooting?"

As abhishek89 has succeeded installing a custom ROM I hope he doesn't mind me asking a few questions in his tread.
I'm a beginner when it comes to custom ROM's and everything that has something to do with it. But I am interested in trying it out, just afraid of bricking my device .
So I hope you don't mind offering me some information EddyOS as i've seen your advice around the forum is always helpful!
I've looked up a few numbers and was wondering if I could proceed doing some things,
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
Softwarenumber: 1.50.206.1
I hope you don't mind! and if you need any more information regarding my device please ask!
Thanks,

Thank you for writing such a quick reply!
I used an app called Cid Getter and it says that my CID is [CID is: ]: [O2___001]
I bought my phone in The Netherlands tho, so I don't know how the O2 got there, but I guess it's not a big deal ?
I've read trough most of the information about S-Off, Unlocking, Permanent Root, Clockwork etc. And I was just wondering if you could give me a ''go'' on starting all that stuff ? Sorry for asking that so many times!
So looking at my CID and Software information I can start S-Off and continue trough the rest of the tutorial ?

HTC Sense version: 3.0

I have rooted two Sensations, the first via Revolutionary.io (only works up to HBOOT 1.18.0000) and the Juopunutbear on a replacement (under warranty, screen just stopped working one day nada to do with S-OFF).
The Juopunutbear method works just a bit frustrating on getting the timing right with the paper clip. Read up on it, it really does work and seems to work well.
I would thoroughly recommend getting S-OFF onto your phone, makes life sooooo much easier.
Hey everyone,
Please bear with me since this is my first post.
I want to overclock my HTC Sensation XE with stock ICS(4.0.3), software no 3.33.720.106 (to start with).
I realize that I need root to do this. I found tons of great guides here and what I want to know is: Is it better to get a custom ROM like Cyanogen Mod for this? Or should I just root and keep S-ON and get an overclocking app? I mean I would need to S-OFF to get non ICS (3.33.xxx.xxx) ROMS which renders the phone rather vulnerable. I'm in doubt because I read that Cyanogen is very good at security and offers a great deal of control over the phone.
This is my first root attempt so please excuse anything that I (might) have got wrong. I searched but if this is a repost, please redirect .
