Getting started; Root access Scandinavian HTC Magic

Hi
I have a quick question for you guys. I want to get root access for my HTC Magic. After reading haykuro blog i got a bit confused about one of his twitter messages:
"use either http://bit.ly/Ilcwr (for non-htc branded magic) or http://bit.ly/xcx6Y (this is for newer devices, or htc branded magic)"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is the "non-htc branded magic" = vodaphones t-mobile and so on?
The HTC branded magic is the one with HTC written all over it? (Well atleast two logo's )
Or is it the other way around?
Any help is appreciated, thanks

So the stock Roger's Magic is the same as the HTC branded right? And im gonna follow these instructions http://bit.ly/xcx6Y ("Root your Rogers's Magic !!!")
Sorry for all the newbie questions, but i have to admit searching just didnt supply the info i needed. Atleast i couldnt see it... And i dont wanna brick my phone just yet.

32A Radio and SPL information for successful RUU upgrade

Hi
We now know there are some 32A managed to upgrade using the official RUU. Please share your radio and SPL information. Hopefully this will help a bit.
Radio with successful upgrade:
No info yet
SPL with successful upgrade:
1.33.2009
1.33.2010

Nice idea.
Could you please post a link where we can download the official RUU in the first post?
And, what are the risks of this? Can I brick my phone?
I'm playing with Hero ROMs for a while and I don't want to brick my phone with this official stuff.

This thread is a good idea. I don't want someone's hacked up 32b mod with a 32a upgrade. This rom is for 32A devices - why can't someone just root it and package it as an update.zip? Surely that'd be more productive...

I don't mean to put this thread further off course, because it is a good idea, but I agree with apacheo.
We need a no-nonsense 32A ONLY ROM for our phones. I tried eugene's ROM earlier today, and it's pretty good, but it's a lot buggier than I'm sure the stock ROM would be.

Just wait a little while for redglasses to finish up his cooking for the myHero 2.0 so yo can keep root!

Its because the majority of people here have a mytouch or 32b.. if the majority was 32a you can bet someone would have the TW RUU file somehow tricked to work on all 32a.. right from the start they are just woried about cooking it to work on thier phones.. we just need to be patient i guess

There will be and hopefully soon enough. I know redglasses is working on his myHero 2.0 and i really appriciate that he take his time cooking this instead of putting something together way to fast like others around
Think that "the fastes rom" was missundestood. It's not about being the first to release a cooked rom
I'm just kidding, i appriciate what eugene is doing maybe just released the things a little bit to fast
Keep up the good and hard work guy's!

hotweiss has said he will be releasing the HoFo 3.0 ROM based on the dump this weekend. It's specifically for 32A.

could anyone who successfully flashed the official RUU post a nandroid backup?

I don't think it depend on the SPL only.
Because I have tried 009 and 010, neither of them can work.
So there must be something else.

Both radio and SPL version should be critical.
If there is a particular trend, I guess it is easier to troubleshoot.

my spl 0010 regional: IND uprade completely ! I swear! In our chinese forum ,no IND version bricked ...but the others are not optimistic...

I would... But i can't boot to amon-ra's recovery... Seems all known exploits are fixed in the 1.76.0007 spl
Also i started out with spl 1.33.0009 and the radio from 2.20, which i can't remember what was called....

im pretty sure this one doesn't work for update

I havent done this ROM yet. And I have an Indian Magic, the RADIO is :
RADIO-3.22.20.17

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
This has official RUU's for 32A i think

I find the way to update
Firstly it's nothing about spl and radio I think. I use a goldcard to put it inside a magic with the official RUU to pass the CID check and step by step,it worked! I'm sure it will work on the other g2,you will be successeful! Sorry for my poor English..but it really worked on my g2 from indonesea and another from India.

I couldn't care less to be honest. Every custom rom i've tried ran like a poo, this one on the other hand is flweless. Fast, stable and everything works. Rogers will roll out an official 2.1 in a few months and that's when i will upgrade my rom.

Yeah but until then, I have a magic that won't be used because I need USB Tethering so I can do my work mobile. Still need root though to do A2SD. Oh lets not forget the other multitude of things we can't do without root. Maybe when it comes out with 2.1, it'll be rootable by default like the Nexus One. They should really give back to the OpenSource community. OpenSource is helping them sell.

I think they think it's OK that people who knows what they're doing to have rooted phones. People who knows what they are doing also know how to flash an update without getting perfect SPL. This is just a guess, but I think that if enough people who wants root is getting stuck on this SPL, they will release a way to root (just like they did with 1.76.0007).

ok. so excuse me for being stupid,but there is no way to flash a 1.76.2007?or a 1.33... if there's a 1.76.0009?

Unfortunetaly you are correct in your statement. If you have done the latest Rogers update, that would force you to have the 1.76.0009 SPL, then at this point, you cannot change to any other SPL.

Rogers is actually 1.76.0010 SPL/HBOOT
ROM 3.05.401.3 Europe: 1.76.0009
ROM 3.05.720.3 Asia India: 1.76.0009
ROM 3.05.631.7 Rogers: 1.76.0010
In any case, I never had the 1.76.0009.
The problem with these ROMs is that you cannot downgrade the ROM to an older version. The SPL is checking for main version (first 3 digits of the HBOOT version)
Can someone confirm this? What happens when you try to goldcard the 1.76.0009 down to a lower version ROM?

I guess the only thing to do is wait so much for a htc official.Any infos about the release?

I'll try this when I get my serial cable which I ordered. Will post results, maybe a howto thread.

Didn't work cause you'll need a sappimg with higher manver than the current on your phone.

There is a solution. You need a serial cable.

This method? As I said, I'll try that when i get the serial cable I ordered.
Edit: Also, will it work putting this, this and this cable together instead of making one?

Hi all.
I think I've fixed the perfected SPL 1.76.0009. I took the system.img from the Indian ROM 3.05.720.3 and put together a sappimg.zip (mirror - more mirrors coming soon) [MD5SUM: 20333385aab3f209dd708507f320c1ee].
Put this in a goldcard (see my blog for the procedure of making a goldcard - use google translate in the sidebar to translate from Greek) and go in HBOOT mode by holding volume down and momentarily pressing the power button. The HBOOT should peak the sappimg.zip. Follow the on screen instructions and at the end of the procedure you should have the non perfected SPL 1.76.2007 installed as well as radio 6.35.10.18 and Amon_Ra's modified recovery for radio 6.35.xx.xx. From then on you can install whatever ROM you like (it must be for radio 6.35.xx) or downgrade your radio to 3.22.xx.xx and use the ROMs built for this radio.

[HTC-MAGIC][32A] Best HBOOT and SPL?

Hi there guys,
First of all let me say that i still learning all these android-related SW components so forgive me for saying some ... wrong things
Second, let me thank everyone at XDA.. This forum ROCKS =)
That said, maybe you could help me clarify some questions...
I have a HTC Magic 32A with these specs:

My device is rooted, it has AmonRA-1.7.0 and CM-5.0.7 (right now upgrading to 5.0.8).
My question is, what *Updated* HBOOT and RADIO should i use? What are the advantages?
I think of hboot as something like a BIOS software and radio as an internal firmware for hardware components. Am i right? If i am, than it should be better to keep them up to date!
Could anyone please advice me on this? What versions should i use and where can i get them? =)
Cheers every1!

I belive you can only use the radio that you have for the mytouch 32a, i am not sure about the rest, I own a 32b, but i would use CM-6.0.0-DS-RC-1, it is way better than any of the CM-5.x.x, and its faster also.

This is NOT the Magic section, this is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
