Sorry for super newbie question: I just want to update an HTC Magic SAPP100 to a new version of Android (2.x), and all I find when I google is people asking how to do unlock it (I donĀ“t want to unlock it, it is already unlocked, I guess what I want is to root it), or people that have bricked their phone, or guides for Sapphire models that seem not to be the same as mine (32A and 32B are always mentioned, but mine in SAPP100).
Any ideas to enlighten me? Thanks very much.
PS: Can I use this guide? forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f606/htc-magic-stuck-voda-screen-1205134/#post_message_6944450

Hi all,
I've recently got myself a DHD branded to 3 australia. As i'm very new to android, i tried to get some more info regarding debranding & rooting the device on xda and google, but yet i didn't couldn't get a definite answer.
I'm aware the visionary r12 gives us a temp and permroot. My question is, if i just want to debrand my DHD to an official WWE rom, do i need to do anything else like making goldcard beside getting a perm root??? or do i need to get s-off as well?
Sorry for the noob question but i really appreciate if someone could explain the process in a bit more details. thanks so much for your help. cheers jeff
Just wanted to know since I'm coming over from the G2 and I want to go ahead and root the phone. Just got it today out of the box, do I need to downgrade anything before I follow the root instructions? The tutorial I found isn't very clear on that and I dont want to end up messing the phone up already.
If this helps you answer my question I've got.
Android Ver 2.3.4
HTC SENSE 3.0
no you don't need to downgrade anything
Thanks a lot bro.
I had a g2 plus 3 replacements rooted everyone trust me this is way easier. Plus no downgrade required. Just rooted my 4g slide
Nope. Our phone is pretty easy to s-off and root.
click my sig for extra help if you need it. From s-off to roming and everything inbetween!

You don't need S-OFF to root the phone and install custom ROM.

I want to root my sensation xl and i've been reading all these guides. Dont want to start the process just in case i ruin my device.
Would really appreciate me if someone can teach me the instructions. Main thing that i really need to know are:
1. What is the best software/tools that i really need to have?
2. My device is currently locked with carrier (Vodafone), what do i need to do?
3. In case of mishap would i be able to reset back to stock?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Im new to XDA Developers I have tried to search for the answer to my question but have not had much luck. If someone could help me, i would really appreciate it.
I want to root my HTC sensation XL, but I am unsure about the correct way to do it. Im hoping someone could give me a quick run through of the correct way to do this so that I do not brick my phone. Thanks A lot guys.
Also, I went to HTCdev and tried to unlock my bootloader but I cant find my device, I wasn't 100% sure if it would be Sensation (EU) or if i should select 'All other supported model'
