Official rom update for rogers from HTC

ok seems theres an official update from HTC for our rogers phones anyone try it yet http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=270&act=sd&cat=2

Ooooh, eeenteresting....
Code:
Why is updating the software on your device recommended?
The ROM software update posted below provides several key enhancements for your HTC Dream:
-Improves the overall device functionality and stability
-Enables correct SMS timestamp [B]<<<<<<<<<<!!!!![/B]
-Enables Chinese character display for POP3 HTML Emails
-Corrects E-mail client exchange Issues

yes can it be timestamp fix heaven? lol.. just wondering if this is going to work for rooted or non 32a magic.. or both

The update pages says "HTC Magic (Rogers)" but when I stick in my S/N it says: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Bummer since my phone and box say HTC Rogers on them.

ditto :/
i just got the S/N from the box as I didnt want to remove the battery.

yeah i noticed it also.. comes up when you select Rogers Magic.. but if you noticed in the notes.. some of which also posted above.. it says enhance dream isssues... will try my s/n and let you know

you can get the files from the rogers support page.. i used this link to get there http://www.androidincanada.ca/news/update-rogers-htc-dreammagic-android-timestamp-problem/

I have the direct link here:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/htc/magic/RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Be careful as this update will more than likely install a Perfect SPL on your device. You will need to re-root your device after installing this. Could be a painful process.
I'm going to wait for somebody who knows what they're doing to remove the important bits from this update.
Cheers!

my thoughts exactly.. the way they have been putting the perfect spl on devices that didnt have it.... I tried it ( im running Jacheroski 2.7.4r2) and it didnt even recognize my phone. I was reading on the HTC site that you need HTC sync software first... thought that was for hero.. anyways.. have to run out for a bit will check back later... on a side note.. if this actually unroots your phone and puts the rogers apps back on .. couldnt someone tweak this up date and make it a restore rom?

I can confirm that it installs a 'Perfected SPL'.
Version 1.33.0010 to be exact.
Proceed with caution! I read through some posts on how to root these devices with 1.33.0010 and I really wouldn't want to have to do that.
I haven't installed the ROM image, and I won't.
After running the RUU (before you even click Next or accept the terms), you can find rom.zip in "%TEMP%\{F313B180-FF83-48A8-B925-E14312A5AFCB}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}"

I'm sorry if this isn't being asked in the correct place but as this thread is already discussing the new ROM update I was hoping that someone here could please tell me whether or not this ROM update would SIM relock a SIM unlocked Rogers Magic phone?
I am asking because I should be recieving my new unlocked Rogers Magic (that I am going to be using on AT&T) any day now and while I wouldn't mind updating it with the new ROM I really don't want to go through the expense and hassle of having to SIM unlock it when part of the reason I bought the one I did on ebay is because it is already SIM unlocked. Thanks in advance for any information on this.

I really doubt it will. I don't know exactly how SIM unlocking works, but this update shouldn't touch those settings.
Why run the Rogers update with all of it's restrictions and crappy software? Download and install any one of the dozens of better ROMs available in this forum.

First let me admit that I am a total NOOB with Android and even the idea of flashing custom ROMs on cellphones (the phone I am upgrading from is an 8525 and had an 8125 before that and the only time I remember flashing either was updating the official ROM to 6.0 off of HTC's site). I guess this makes me a little behind the times but my idea of customizing was installing programs like Pockets Plus and then Mobile Shell 3 because I'm not a programmer and was a little intimidated about cooking the ROMS.
That said I was thinking of running the stock ROM atleast for a little while to get an idea of just what I like and don't like about it and then being more knowledgeable when I research what ROM I should upgrade to? Is there a list of the ROMs and what their customizations are for the Rogers version? Do you have any advise on what ROM's I should look at and what the differences are?
I'm afraid that I will be somewhat overwhelmed with the number of choices to be made. Besides, I use my phone on my job so I can't risk it having issues or having to reinstall everything on a regular basis so continually flashing it with new ROM's as they come out may not be a logical solution for me. I think I'd rather end up with something stable and able to use all the programs, etc that I need for work and play. Anyways, any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet would be to start off by running the ROM that it comes with. If you've got problems with timestamps in the ROM, use a program called ChompSMS.
Read this forum, look for information on the 32A HTC Magic. That's the version you are getting. Learn as much as you can without changing your phone at all. Once you've got enough information start by 'rooting' your phone, then play around with some custom ROMs.
Lots to learn around here. Make sure you use the search function.

The following link was made by skittleguy to try to combine all compatible roms for Rogers. There have been quite a few changes to most of these ROMS but you can go to each original thread and read up on different ROMs and their advantages and disadvantages. I believe most of the original threads are being updated from time to time, but you can always just do a search for the name of the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534464&highlight=repository
Personally if you want one that is stable and has all of its features working, I would go with Cyanogen's ROM v4.0.2 with Amon_RA'sv1.0.1 kernal. It is based of off MyTouch 3G. The link is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544854
Having said that, there is one feature that I miss on this ROM, which is the smart dialpad.

revert to stock rom!

hi guys,this is my first time posting here,and i really hope you guys can help me out
I have the htc magic,with the official SenseUI rom from htc.
I would like to revert back to the stock rom,so that i can root and use the custom roms that you guys have over here,its simply amazing!
I have searched high and low,but have not found an answer as to how to achieve this.
help would be really appreaciated!
my phone specs are:
Model : htc magic
Firmware version 1.5
Basband version 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.29
Kernal Version: [email protected]#901
Build Number:3.03.707.5 CL#75968 release-keys
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT -1.76.0007(SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO 0-6.35.07.29
This phone is from Starhub,in Singapore.
If it is possible to root,using the official senseUI please teach me how to,as when i tried to back up using the recovery flasher,the backup could not be done.
Thanks,css626

Hi, where did you get the official senseUI rom from, Where can i find it on htc site?
Thanks

Hello,i got the rom from the HTC website, here is the link http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=757
seems like you'd have to enter your phone's serial number to get it,i could upload it for you if you'd like.
Thanks for your help!

cheers! do i install rom as normal or do i have to partition sdcard? im on 32B

you'd have to install it as normal.
The official update from htc,i suppose its for 32A magics?
as over here in Singapore we get 32A magics

Ok mate thanks for your help.
To revert back to stock rom, did you do a nandroid backup before you flashed sense?

thanks again,and nope i did not,i just followed the instructions to on the htc website,as i am new to android
any way to solve this?
thanks in advance!

1.76.0007 is a perfected SPL and I don't think it has been hacked so far. There is one way to get an engineering SPL, but it's very dangerous and you might end up bricking your phone. Best thing to do is wait 'till someone finds a way to root the rom you've got.

i see,so there's no way to revert back to the stock rom as well?

i always have liked the wiki on cyanogen's site...
follow the guide here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

This update cna use Sense UI..?
thanks for answer

that guide gets you to cyanogenmod which does not use senseui.
but the thing with the guide is it gets you root. and from root you can install any rom including those with senseui.
i would look into cursordroids rom here in the magic forum, its a great sensuirom that is hella fast and stable.

yeah to bad it is 32A and not 32B which the myTouch 3g is!!!
Plus the rooting is for 32B myTouch 3G's so if you got the fender edition or the one with the 3.5 mm jack then you can't use the method in the wiki.

What the hell is your problem?
That guide IS for the 32B board (i guess you didn't even bother to look), and there are other sense ui ROMs than those that require the new 32A radio!
Plus, the creator of this thread obviously DOES NOT have a mt3g 1.2 judging by his fastboot info.

Way to rage LOL, He's saying CursorSense is for 32A, I guess you didn't bother to read that twice.
Also, I didn't find it OBVIOUS that he didn't have the mt3g 1.2. I never looked at that things fastboot info nor do I care because that phone isnt even available where I'm located. I find it rather nice that he informed the lazy user that it wouldn't work on the fender. (Learn to search yourself gatxclub and do some READING, you obviously didn't do enough searching/reading if you don't understand it, you make these forums messy with retarded questions)

i can't make goldcard

update help plzz

SAPPHIRE PVT32B ENG S-off H
HBOOT-1.33.2010(SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
Radio-3.22.20.17

I have to say that a little reading and searching would get you a long way... the Unlockr has a step by step guide to rooting with a goldcard. Go here for those instructions. He also has the one click method right above that.
Good luck and don't brick your phone!

Info on CyanogenMOD and SPL and Radio!

Hi!
I've been following the forum for some time now and this is my first post, i guess it's kind of a noob question, but I think it will be good to have this info at hand in case anybody needs it.
Here is my question: I own an Rogers HTC Magic, it's already rooted and running CM 4.2.15.1.
My info it's as follows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Which are the new version for the Magic 32A for radio and SPL?
Is it a good idea to flash a new radio or SPL?
What's the requirements for SPL and Radio to run CM?
I've been researching a lot but I can't seem to find the answer to this, as a Rogers customer I've been affected with all this 911 bug thing, and I read other posts that the in the Dream it's possible to update the radio, but i don't know if this applies as well for the Magic...
Thanks!!

Your spl-radio is what is needed for CM.
the latest spl-radio is 1.76.2007 and 6.35.10.18 BUT I haven't seen any port for this radio for CM.
I think the reason is there is no official 2.6.29 kernel for latest radio and CM use this.
This is the reason why the 2.1 ROMs (which need the latest radio) isn't that stable...because the kernel they use is a custom kernel from sanpei who has not an official kernel to work on...
The most stable ROM that use the latest radio is CursorSense and he is using 2.6.27 (custom..but with an official to work on)

..., my kernel is based on official msm-2.6.29 from Google's tree, and cm-kernel is based on this one also. the only main differences are he don't need to port the driver/logic for the new radio, and could use the drivers/logic in this tree.
those android/SenseUI 2.x ROM for 32B/32A old radio, which uses his kernel or other custom kernel similar with cm-kernel, are not working well.
the secrets are not only in the kernel, they are in the proprietary libs which released with new radio, and Google breaks something in android 2+ too.

oops sorry!
It seems that I haven't understood the kernel situation well.
Thanks for explaining this!
Of course I didn't mean that your kernel isn't as good as cyanogen's, I knew it was a radio problem (just didn't get it right).
p.s. I think my English suck!

nono, my kernel is not as good as cyanogen's, it is true.
but it is not caused by us new radio developers..... Cyanogen has all sources and files he need (since he was not making pure android/Sense 2+ ROMs), and we don't.
we must face this problems, since we decided to bring all latest things to our phone.

If you are on Rogers and this is your current configuration,you must not have any data, or if you do, you're calling Rogers daily for a network reset.....???
This was my problem until I updated to radio 6.35, and updated my SPL, after that my data came back without dropping and I can use/try any of these great new ROMS that everyone is putting out that only work with the new 6.35 radio.
Do the upgrade....you'll be glad you did!

ok have you searched anywhere??? this is the wrong section for this post and there are plenty of places to find out how to root use google and if you posted that on here i dont think you should attempt to root at all actually remove your sim card from the phone and use the phone as a paper weight good day sir

http://tinyurl.com/3y4myqb Answer is located here.

yeah i have all ready searched it but i wasent sure because most guides said thta u cant if ur spl is 1.33.2010 ( DREA21000)
and mine is 1.33.0010 ( DREA21000)
so yeah i posted it here cuz if its not that spl so there might be a way to still root
but the build is post 911 update so im not sure that it updated the spl most probbly didn"t because i have rooted a phone with that spl before the 911 update

if you are going to try and flame someone, at least learn to use the LMGTFY correctly. You spelled "Rodgers" as r-o-d-g-e-r-s, so you wouldnt have been much help.
thanks scrub
