Dedicated thread for rooting Rogers HTC Magic

I haven't found a dedicated thread for any development on rooting the Rogers HTC magic with the latest rom update so I would like to start one here. Any news/developments, tutorials would greatly be appreciated.

k, I don't wanna sound like an arsehole but I hate this LOL
THERE ARE LIKE 2-3 MORE THReADS FOR THIS! I can't believe you couldn't find one and opened a useless thread.

I know this already thats why I started this thread in case there is any interest in rooting this particular piece of hardware/software. I bought a Rogers magic that already has the latest update and I found out quickly there is no way to root it yet.

Thank you sir/mam, posted in my mods thread, now we can begin tweaking and creating themes!

thank you!!

excellent. Im hoping for a root before launch!

thanks OP!

can i use these in the SDK? or no? just a small question.

Great news! Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to a quick root.

Yes, I'm the noob. Is this the first step towards getting Android on HD2 TMOUS?

Silmilar question, can someone explain what can we (or anyone) do with the Evo system files?

This is a great site, but us noobs are treated like...you know, noobs. lol
Noobs must be patient and see how it unfolds. Stay active reading the forums and keep noob questions to a minimum. Good thing is these guys have a sense of humor so my current approach won't offend anyone, at least my experience. I support these guys. Unfortunately, they have to deal with noobs every now and then. I've been interested in learning more about code simply because of the Android movement, time and life has made it a slow process.
I can't wait till these guys get Android over to TMOUS. I believe these system files may be the first step.
HEY DEVS! Entertain a noob question for a moment.
Some times you gotta yell

This will be fantastic for Android on the HD2 I believe, exciting times

Devs gotta eat too

The first step is getting linux installed and working with all the drivers for the device (radio/video etc..) once that's working properly devs can start the android tackle. These drivers don't exist for this hardware so it's a rather long process of developing customer drivers for linux.
From what I've been reading there's some decent progress in this but there's no step by step process to making this happen. The best thing you can do is wait and donate to the devs working on this project. They gotta eat too

root and recovery im looking safe way to do so
can anyone link me to a place where i can get a safe root and recovery, I have bricked three htc evo v 4g in just two weeks. IM used to samsung and there much easer to root and put recovery on htc is very different to say the least but love the phone

[Q] How to upgrade from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 my HTC Inspire 4G ?

Hi fellas, YEAH !! I"m just a nob
I just bought my first Android Phone, yes....left behind my Iphone 3GS to get into the Real Game now ! ;-)
So, would you people help me know a bit more about this? I need to know how to upgrade my HTC Inspire 4G, from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
Thanks all of you beforehand,
RUben.

At this point, root is the only way. View the stickie, as it has the two root methods, and read read read. Start with reading the root method threads and decide which you want to go with. The key is, don' t be in a hurry to root until you have a fair understanding of what you will be doing.

And now that this has been quoted twice as well, make it 9 times.

Oh Thanks !! Well, I know the root process is the fact that being gaining admin access within the device, in order to make any kind of changes at the kernel level or anything else right ?
Now, my device is unlocked, that necessary means it's also rooted ?
Thanks,
Ruben

Oh Thanks! and Yeah, that was the first post I'd read when I came into this cool website... The thing is, the guide is amazing, and those two ways to root the device seems great !! it's just that, what else after that ? I'm talking about being upgrading to Gingerbread, let's think the bases are ready (rooted, flashed, unlocked..) so then what ? should I download something and use some king of soft to upgrade my Inspire ? You know, I know all about Iphone and the way to jailbreak and unlock and upgraded and so on, but NOTHING about android.. as I said, I'm just starting.. Thanks a lot for all the advises... And SORRY for being posting this on the wrong thread!
Thanks,
Ruben,

Upon reading it, did you miss the part about flashing a rom? Since you want Gingerbread you will need to instal one. Hence the how to instal a rom portion.
The Inspire forums have many subforums. one of them is the dev forum. This would be your next reading material. But I suggest you read the guide again. Good luck.

Oh.. I got it !! The flashing process is basically the installation of a "firmware" into the phone, which would be in this case a gingerbread.
Thanks !

There are quite a few good GB Roms available. I prefer Pure so I use an AOSP Gingerbread rom, but there are sense ones too.
See My Sig and many other users here for their personal set ups. And of Couse I stress the reading. Te Dev forum has so much.

Rom/kernel = gingerbread or whatever (froyo, etc.)
Though there obviously hasn't been an official inspire gingerbread release, what you'll find in the dev section has been modified as required from the gingerbread release for the desire hd, pretty much the same phone.
There's a lot of them. Most of the newer ones are based on gingerbread.

Just keep on reading and u will find all the answers you need. It's s privalge to have s answer given to you without reading lol trust me I know lol

They could just have an error screen explaining why they can't post. Let them know they have to be a member for certain amount of time, or there could even be a kind of peer review, where existing developers can vouch for the new member.

I thought this was already the case.
Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A forum. Period.
Also, one should spend time reading the first 1-2 pages of each forum, ESPECIALLY sticky threads before posting. It is obviously clear that the original poster did not spend ANY time reading.
I was a noob once too - but I took the time to do my research and spent an evening or two browsing threads and learning when I first flashed my HTC Tilt. Same for when I bought my Tilt2. Same for when I bought my Huawei S7, and same for when I bought my Infuse and Tab 10.1.
The "teach a man to fish" proverb applies here. If you just handhold a user, they will never learn anything. If you force them to spend some time reading threads, they'll start learning how to educate themselves and learn a new device without asking questions about stuff that is widely documented.

That's no excuse! I've been in this game for years and have learned almost everything I know simply by reading. If I can do it so can the noobs. Period. This guy deserves everything and anything he gets. I'm with Entropy. They must be forced to learn!
I'd say "ok guys back to topic" but instead I'll say "crap, here comes Neo again!"

Agreed.
A bit of reading would help everyone. Generally speaking, most questions have probably been asked before and even if they haven't; it is best to search anyway because you might stumble across the answer.
I'm all about being helpful, but constantly coddling people while they do the wrong thing isn't helping anyone. I want us to have a large user base so that our development continues to expand, but not just so that we have a lot of ignorant people running around posting the same thing over and over without doing a bit of searching.
It isn't as if this post was some desperate call for help because their phone stopped working after installing a ROM. It was just someone being lazy.

HTC inspire 4G AT&T rooting

HI,
I recently took this phone from my frend who brought this from US.
It unlocked to any carrier. I have read couple of places about S-Off.
Not sure what it is all about. Before rooting & installing custom ROM I need help from the folks who have done this. There is no removery mod installed on this phone. I dont want to brick this piece hence need rooting instructions from the folks.
Regards

S-on? Then use this.

In truth, we can't make the instructions any simpler than the step by step that was already beautifully done by attn1. If you read it and still don't understand, keep reading it until it makes sense and read the effin manual included with the hack kit. While rooting, if anything goes wrong, follow the manual and don't make any assumptions or redo anything.

Darunion said beautifully....the only thing that I can add up is that the Hack Kit is the only game in town. DO NOT try anything else or might end up with a messed bootloader. Read as many times as necessary and then go ahead...if you get stuck do not stop or close anything, just re read the manual´s troubleshooting section and if are still stuck hit the IRC channel...but do not stop or atempt anything....welcome to XDA...:good:

I used Ace Hack Kit. It was actually surprisingly easy and didn't take that long.

It will root, unlock, install clockwork mod recovery, and superuser.
After that flash a rom. I will say I use the Rom called "Android Revolution HD 6.3.1" and can hotspot when ever I want, even without the AT&T account.
