I'm abandoning this thread, since there are now too many ports to keep track of, so don't expect any updates. Just make sure that any rom you flash on your phone is 32A compatible. These roms all have modified boot.img, wlan.ko, apnconfig.xml, and possibly some other tweaks to sweeten the pot.
Rogers Original Wiped Rom
This is the stock Rogers rom in Nandroid format, unrooted. Use this if you really fowl something up and need to restore to the phones base (read: unrooted) settings. Note that this is a Nandroid backup, so restore it as such.

Thanks! This is much appreciated.
I think it might be worthwile to add in your list the ROM's modded by redglass. I've found them to work much better on my phone (32A Australia) as compared to the mod found on the Fatal1ty thread.

I tried loading the stock rogers rom last night, didnt seem to work, told me it was unsigned, or do i need to push each one of the files individually.
And also when trying to load the HOfo community rom downloaded from both of the links posted here it told me that one of the files was corrupted. can't think of the file off the top of my head, sorry.
EDIT: sorry i dont have the engineering spl
thanks.
this was much needed.
Thanks for this, used your guide and moded ROM on the weekend it's great. Now the wife wants it on hers as well.

Thanks for this thread.
Could I flash any of these ROMS with just my rooted device or do I need to flash an SPL or something first?
Edit: nevermind, noticed the hofo link at the bottom of your post...
Thank you Skittles
Skittles,
This is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to dedicate a post to us Rogers users. I totally appreciate all the work you have put in and all those who you have worked in concert with to arrange these wonderful opportunities for us to play!!!
I look forward to seeing if any of the users here report happy findings!

SKITTLES Quick Question
By the way Skittles,
Do we HAVE to flash the SPL in order to use other roms? I heard SPL/Radio switching is the big danger. Can I install the hero rom just without flashing the SPL?

I believe you should be able to flash this to a Rogers Magic without changing your SPL, but changing your SPL makes it possible to make and restore Nandroid backups (which helps like crazy) so I would still recommend it.

I have made a nandroid backup already using the daldroid-recovery.img and the fastboot process. As far as I know I did this stuff without making any changes to my device. A raw backup through fastboot.
However, would I be unable to flash back the boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img using this same daldroid-recovery.img fastboot process?
What is the difference between what I am describing and actually changing or flashing the SPL version.
I just want to do this safely and be able to restore to factory (or stock) version of phone for warranty purposes.
Thanks skittles,
You rock,

You technically could by using the Amon_RA's new recovery (it has the option for Nandroid restore). I have yet to try it with the stock SPL, but you probably could.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Typically, restoring a rom backup is done through fastboot, which is why you need an engineering SPL which won't signature check.

Well I would prefer to stick to things the way you have done them already. I appreciate you trying everything first, of course.
So Do you recommend I just go with your guides. They are entirely reversible down to the bootloader?

The HTC Hero ROM for Magic by Fatal1ty (HERE) is for Google branded device (32B).
You can find the HTC-branded version HERE.
Thanks for all your help and all you work. 1 quick question about the hero rom, how do i get my phone to only check for email once a day
oh and how do you shut and open app, like browser
Anyone try that MyTouch3g rom yet?
just installed the ion version on my Australian 3 HTC magic! Modded a few images to how i like it before applying but so far so good.... when i get a bit more game will have a more in depth shot at theming it.....
any chance of theme template for ion or Hofo?
***EDIT**** well, it was working well, i have been using the overclock widget and twice now it has crashed the phone into a bootloop...no more overclock widget- esp. as the wife is yelling at me to come to bed! anyone else experienced this rom crashing like this?
Hello.
So I have installed the HTC Hero ROM for Magic by Fatal1ty successfully.
All is working well but for some MMS messages doesn't work anymore? SMS works fine.
[email protected] first off thanks a lot for your hard work =D
for the nk02's ION Multi5 rom do you happent o have a lite v4 version ? i just don't the hero skin... or maybe if there is a way to remove the skin that you know of?
Unrooting the HTC Magic looks te be the only way to get OTA Updates back. My own phone is the Dutch Vodafone Magic, with the same ROM as the Brittish and the Australian Magics.
The G1 can be unrooted and manuals to do so are all over the place, but unrooting the Sapphire seems to be a lot harder...
So here's my question, How the beep are we going to unroot our phones? All info will be appreciated!
I have 2 Magics, both were rooted but I decided to go back to offical firmware on one of them for sale. All I did was Nandroid back to my original rom, root is now gone and I am able to get updates.
Hope this helps.
I restored my Nandroid backup manually, do you think it makes a difference to do it by a automated program?
UPDATE: I tried to restore my phone with Nandroid and everything is working okay, but still NO ota update. Strange enough the firmware is back at CRB17, when I made the backup the firmware was updated to the most recent version.. now how's that possible?
Could someone else confirm that with nandroid backup the root goes away?
Thanks
Im also trying to unroot.
I think you also nee to do this
I'm getting file/directory not found error...
What if you havent got your original backup?
Does any one have a nandroid backup from a HTC magic for me? I really need a Dutch vodafone branded backup!!? So who can help me..
I have a vodafone (UK) nandroid is it helps anybody.
Where can I get that?
Let me zip it and will upload it somewhere or if you send me a PM with your skype ID I will transfer that way.

All - if on restoring your original Nandroid you find you were CRB17, you might want to note that CRB17 on Magic is pre-release phone, doesn't allow any kind of OTA or official manual upgrade.
Although you can force the matter yourself, you might want to note instead that VF are doing free inshop replacement for new handset for anyone with CRB17.

I finally got around to rooting and S-OFFing my phone today, while I was at it I used clockwork recovery to make a backup of the Stock VHA Branded ROM.
I saw a few people were looking for this so here it is. Feel free to mirror it or whatever, this is my first ROM-dump so if anything is amiss or I did something wrong please let me know. I still have the device available to make further dumps.
This is for the Desire HD (Obviously) Branded by Vodafone Australia.
hxxp://depositfiles.com/files/3x1c6v6hj
Sorry for posting a link as a new member, I thought this would be worth it.
EDIT: Obviously the dump is all at factory defaults, on first boot it should be like buying a new phone, from a bloatware company.
Except it will be a rooted bloatware rom?
That's the point People have been asking for it as a backup rom, as flashing a non Vodafone rom may void certain warranties, which flashing this back could increase your chance of keeping. I personally upgraded my own DHD to a much better ROM as soon as I could.
Awesome, ive been waiting for the stock ROM. Good Work

No worries man. Let me know how it turns out if you use it. Everything should be at factory defaults as I wiped the device with Clockwork before making the backup. If you find anything wrong just let me know in this thread.
Thanks Should be handy for warranty issues!
Thanks champion!
Thanks mate. I've downloaded and it all looks good so far (haven't flashed though to check).
Is it rooted with VISIONary r12?
Sweet, been waiting for this. Thanks mate!
Sent from my Desire HD
Yeah the process I followed was Perma root with VISIONary v12, install hboot, install clockwork test, use clockwork to wipe to factory and then backup to SDcard. I'm unsure as to the exact details of how VISIONary works at this time so it may not still be rooted, I don't know if root persists after factory reset.
Thanks! this is getting downloaded for safety/warranty reasons.
Thanks a lot for extracting and hosting the original (Vodafone AUS) ROM!
Am i right, that this is the only thing you need to set your mobile into delivery condition? If there are some other traces of flashing they might decline warranty, too!
Perhaps, if you have the time and pleasure, you could write a detailed how-to for newbies (with links to software you need, e.g.!) how to extract the original firmware.
I think this would be necessary if the DHD will be available in other countries on other network providers (with their own ROM).
Excellent! I'm just 2 days into my new DHD from Vodafone Oz and just about to do the same... Rooting!
I'll probably make a back for myself but I'm downloading this one too... Just to be safe.
Thanks heaps Kazuroka!
BTW - Don't listen to those lame ppl who don't have anything positive to add.
Just a note: I believe that this ROM, although the stock Vodafone image, is a rooted one. So if Vodafone have a moderately smart technical department they will still be able to tell that it is not running their complete stock image.
@ivolol: That's exactly what i'm thinking about! For e. g., changing ROM on my Windows Mobile phone requires a modification of the bootloader. If you flash back your old (original) ROM you have to remember to change the bootloader to original too. Otherweise you have the original ROM on your phone but another bootloader and this could be be detected very easily. I know that the procedure changing ROM on DHD is another than on Windows Mobile, but perhaps you have to think about more things than only flashing the original ROM?!

After flashing back the backup ROM I did not have root. I installed Terminal Emulator and tried to su, and even downloaded VISIONary+ and re-Rooted the device. However I did still have the Eng hboot, as that was not included in this backup. I have a copy of the original hboot from when S-OFFed the phone, I will see what I can do about getting the original hboot and stock ROM into one package for everyone, and then perhaps write a tutorial for flashing them back individually. I MAY NOT, however, write the tutorial as I am still rather new and would not like to lead people into doing something the wrong way. I will also include the stock hboot in a seperate archive for those who have already downloaded this release.

This is the original system.img that comes on a brand new Vodafone Desire HD.
This image was dumped manually without Visionary messing with stuff, and Obviously the image is NOT rooted. It's completely stock.
This would probably be the best image to use if you're worried about returning the phone
Note: I have had to return a Desire HD to Vodafone who did not check that it was rooted and S-OFF'ed - So, don't worry too much.

Why is your file so much bigger than Kazuroka's original upload and also just wondering your method of extracting the img?

Other than cwm and rooting. I am stock. Give me some instructions on how to download the modem and I'll get it posted.
I am also 90% sure that I did a nandroid backup before rooting. Otherwise it's stock with root on the backup.

Could someone please post there boot.img I lost my backup and can't boot
Hello, I've been using the site for years for guides to root and flash devices, but this M8 is my first VZW device. I'm getting all my ducks in a row before I mod it, but hit a snag researching reverting to stock if the need arises. When I had other devices, reverting to stock was mostly just flashing my nandroid backup. This VZW device is the first I've heard of RUU. I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831 thoroughly and several others and could not find a solid answer. I would have posted in the thread, but I am a posting noob and am unable. If I have a nandroid backup of my stock ROM on Software number 1.55.605.2, do I still need to flash RUU to revert to stock? Thanks in advance for your answer, or "hey dumby, it's already on this thread." Either is appreciated.
If you restore your nandroid, you're back to a stock system but still have the custom recovery and - if you messed with those - different radio/hboot.
The RUU gets you back one more step: a fully stock system/hboot/radio/recovery (although that RUU you linked to is rooted, but that's easily fixed).
That's my understanding of it, but I'm also relatively new to the M8 - so take it for what it's worth
