The Hyperdragon series seems to have radios included(at least the version I flashed did)... but if you can't flash a radio how are you going to flash a ROM? It is the exact same process!

Vodafone Donut - Is there a method to root the latest Oct 2009 1.6 release?

I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try

there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.

yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you

@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.

Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.

Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you

@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days

Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut

I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....

rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Newbie user: HTC Magik Rom upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6

Hi all,
After spending a couple of hours searching through the forums I still can't figure out the exact steps to upgrade my phone's rom.
As I stated in the title I have an HTC Magik with Rom version 1.5 locked to operator and I want upgrade it to 1.6.
From some thread I could discover that my phone is a 32A.
From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565929 I read that I can apply this Rom and after I can patch it to make it run in a 32A phone. But still I don't know the exact steps to do this.
Can anyone, point me some clear threads where I can find information on how to do this or provide me the full information here, please?
Sorry if this is not the right place for this thread or if this was already asked a ton of times. I searched through the forum and also looked to the sticky threads and I couldn't find anything clear for a newbie.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Joao

Thanks linusr.
With your tip I could update my Magic to 1.6.
Thank you very much.

Could this be simplified?

Hello. I have been lurking in these forums for a while now, reading, learning. I want to flash to a new rom and wm6.5, but I am very confused. I've read the stickies and wikis and searched for a simple answer, but most of the thread titles and bodies read like sanskrit. I can follow the directions on how to flash, but I really have no idea what to flash. There are so many options and no real explanation on whats what. Some roms require extra downloads, some are full, or complete? I don't really want a lot of crap software on there... will my 6.1 cabs work on a cooked 6.5 rom? Not every rom works with every radio, and some don't come with...? I guess I am wondering why the choosing and downloading of a rom and all other necessary files can't be simplified. Is it just because you guys are developing them so fast? I am not a total noob. But it is clear that most of you guys are light years ahead of me, and use a vernacular that is hard to understand. Please don't hate on me because I am asking a dumb question. I just don't want to have to become a cook in order to get what I want. Hope someone can shed some light on roms for me. Thanks.
I have...
AT&T Tilt
ROM - 3.57.502.2 WWE
Radio - 1.65.21.18
Protocol - 25.88.40.05H

First step is to read the:
[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
As your device needs to be Hard-SPL'd to flash custom ROM's.
Then just like everyone else it's all trial and error look @ the ROM threads and read the first page to see what is in the ROM and the Hard-SPL recommendation and Radio, WM6.5 has a bit more to flashing and again noted at the start of threads.
There is no easy root and everyone has to go through the process of learning searching as there will be things that stump you along the way.
On that note i'm closing thread.
Good luck and have fun flashing

Are you able to boot normal? In that case, what ROM are you using?

I saw this in the forum he first posted (www.androidin.net) it's a chinese forum for discussing android devices..
the original post was in chinese, I think he is using some kind of translator to translate it into english therefore the strange grammar..
let me add on a bit, he said (in the original post) that he has a TIM G2 32A. and he first flashed HBoot to 1.76.2007 then radio to 6.35, and then downgraded radio to 3.22.23.18. and results in what we see now..(he doesn't know what he was doing then.. therefore did not downgrade his SPL to 1.33)
he has flashed the official G3 and CM-mod and was successful at booting into the system and and use his phone normally.

yeah....Well, I have poor English skills. . Therefore, the use Google translation. . Do not mind.
I just want to clarify an issue

i have already seen it in chinese android forum. i also test this way to flash the radio and spl. it is no problem until flash rom into device(TIM 32a). phone was unable to reboot into system. so i think it may have some issue about what recovery you use.because i used ra-sapphire-1.5.2 recovery and fail flash in the end.

oh no，It is not a fake，I am also from China a forum to see, and then placed on this, see if he can explain what the problem
Because this is not my own。I would also like to know whether it is true.

"the OP's question "
what's the meaning of OP?

(chinese users call HTC Magic as G2, HTC HERO as G3, that's not correct)
phones with old radio may boot with htc-kernel-2.6.27 (with new SPL) or its mod which's source was released with SenseUI 1.5 of HTC HERO. but this combination won't be fully functional, since the user-space libs from HERO have different conventions with old radio.
phones with old radio won't boot with htc-kernel-2.6.29, because there are no HTC MAGIC support at all in this release of kernel ( the source is not released).
and yes, if he has an old radio and it could boot, he could use CyanogenMod. since libs in CyanogenMod have same conventions with the old radio. but don't try it, it is not confirmed, and there are no advantages you can take from this combination.
