We now have the HTC Magic rom running with root - thx to Daldroid.
But not many users have the original HTC Magic, so if Daldroid or Haykuro, nk02 or someone with the same skills, please would try to mix a new firmware for the HTC Magic vodafone based on the original HTC Magic rom - then it would be so nice.
Remember taht the two devices have different bootloaders, kernel and the board is PVT 32A
I have a Nandroidbackup of both firmwares on my PC.
Quoting....
PLS! As HTC MAgic Vodafone I'd really like to have an HTC rom NON BRANDED!
Thanks
+1... Plzzzzzzz
Me 2 would make my day!!
nk02 is on his way with it....

Will we ever see an official android 2.0 for the 32B? Eg. Google Ion? Is there any official word?
nothing official yet for Magic (32A/32B) or Dream.. so far only Eris, Hero and Sprint Hero have been officially named by HTC for Eclair updates.
and which is the best rom for magic 32b?

Here are some SenseUI roms for the 32B found in this Sapphire/Magic forum:
[Updated on 11/28/09][ROM][32B/MT3G] OTPA Sense UI 4 Magic - v.3.0 by ttran001
[ROM] eViL HeRo v3s ReMiX FULL SENSE 32B No A2SD [11/05/09-WORKING]
[ROM] 10/09 - (V1.7) Qteknology HTC HERO PORT from [2.73.405.38] 32b
[ROM] [27-NOV] Qteknology Devs Roms for VodaMagic 32b [MagicSense Port 3.03.990.6]
[ROM]Herver Flash this sense v1.1r5 11/01/09 "Slick Willy"
[ROM][32B/MT3G] KingsKlick Eclair Version 0.6 | Android 2.1 w. Sense UI
You could also visit the Dream forums, those roms are also 32B compatible I think.
You'll have to decide for yourself which is the best ;-)
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

Non of these ROMs have bt working. And maybe this new upgrade is optimized vor the low ram size

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 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!
