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.
I saw you on android-roms, I was wondering if you can kindly assist on G1 radio_update? I want to update G1 to radio 2.22.23.02. I want to update the radio to the status of new one…
Can you kindly check if you have a source? Or know how to update them?
I know that you can update themselves by have the radio inside them. But I’m not in states… Asia actually… I was wondering if you know any ways to update them by manually or by certain S/W?
*facepalm*

incase you havnt figured it out yet - you are asking a question in the development section when there is a perfectly good QUESTIONS and answers section
besides - the question has been dealt with numerous times
Posted in wrong forum, thread closed
I just got a new HTC Trophy and I have been doing extensive reading about unlock options, etc.
Just to give you a quick overview, I have dev unlocked my phone (as a student), and am running NoDo. I know that I cannot run ChevronWP7 on this phone as NoDo was required for CDMA networks.
My question is- can I somehow get a non-dev unlock (i.e., an unlimited sideload unlock) using Mango? I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anywhere that detailed this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hmm this question is better asked at the HTC Trophy section.
I'm still not that experienced so bare with me.
Lets see first if we can do something about this without Flashing your ROM.
First can you sideload 3rd Party apps? Say the U2M7720.XAP file on this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287505
Because from my understanding that Dev-Unlock = ChevUnlock ?
If you can sideload this app and use it then follow the steps on that thread to the letter and you should have Mango with Unlock + INTEROP-UNLOCK.
Now in case you can't sideload apps, only solution is to flash a ROM with Mango Jailbroken. Check these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269652
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Couple of tips:
1- If you choose the Flashing method, READ every single warning and step, you don't want to end up with a Bricked/Half-Bricked device.
2- Take a full backup before trying to mess around with your phone.
3- Have a copy of your original ROM, try hitting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924333
Let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks for the reply. After reading your post and looking at your threads, I am even more confused than ever.
So, yes I have already sideloaded 2 apps (not the one you referenced in your post)- I have a dev (student) unlocked phone, so I guess I can sideload up to 3 apps...
The 1st link - isn't that for phones that were unlocked via ChevronWP7?
Any assistance (and hand-holding ) would be greatly appreciated.

You can try this which some have reported working. I have the exact same phone as you with the original ROM and this did not work for me so if it works for you please let me know.

Hi - here is my post to another thread explaining where this failed for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18372718&postcount=13
So LiFePo4, what is your end goal, to be interop-unlocked (i.e., sideload more than 10 apps), or just dev-unlocked on Mango?
Xenohart, do you have experience getting the HTC Trophy unlocked (> 10 sideloaded apps)?

Interop-unlock so I can sideload homebrews such as ACT or Registry Editor from Schaps and others. Dev-unlock does not enable you to sideload any homebrews.
So are you running Mango w/Interop-unlock, or NoDo?
I have two phones (one is wife's). Hers is Mango but locked (until I find a way to interop-unlock; I can do a dev-unlock but it doesn't buy me anything right now). My phone is NoDo Dev-unlocked and interop-unlocked. I am staying on NoDo for other reasons but like having the interop-unlock
I believe Ansar and Heathcliff are on the verge of a breakthrough.
Ansar will release something in the coming days (hopefully), as it seems he found a way to unlock official Mango. So for the guys unable to unlock the Trophy, keep your eyes open.

any progress with this? links to heathcliff and ansar? I'm new to the process.

You need HTC connection setup to interop unlock and it was pulled off the marketplace so unless your phone had it on from the start.... might be screwed
Iam stuck on nodo with a cdma sprint arrive because of this.
@snapz54: Heathcliff74, Ansar, and most of the other folks working on HTC interop-unlocks, myself included, mostly post on the Development and Hacking sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606). Please read the stickies before posting there; it's not a Q&A forum the way this one is.

@GoodDayToDie: Thanks for that info - the problem for myself is that it is almost impossible to find answers to specific questions on the Development/Hacking forum (or on any forum here for that matter). There isn't a centralized Wiki/FAQ on issues/questions like this. I find that the stickies usually are tens of pages long and just when you're about to find an answer, the post you think contains the answer mentions 2 or 3 other forum posts that it links to to get the answer, so by the time I think I've found answer, I have like 10 different tabs open in my browser, all for various forum posts that were linked from one of the main stickies.
I've gotten both "Yes you can upgrade to Mango with a Verizon-based HTC Trophy and keep it interop unlocked" and "No it is not possible at this time". If you could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my mini-rant.
@Avazee: The search feature on these forums could be a lot better, but it does exist. You can also just use an external search engine (Bing/Google/whatever) and do a search with " site:xda-developers.com" to find things.
I don't know for sure if it's currently possible to Interop-unlock a Trophy, or any HTC phone. My HD7 is interop-unlocked, but I've heard the method I used (coming from the beta) doesn't work anymore. The usual approaches mentioned to getting interop-unlocked on HTC Mango rely on an app called U2M7720, by ansar.ath.gr. This app provisions your phone through the pre-release Mango update process, which should give you a window between updates where you can interop-unlock Mango.
Using the retail upgrade path will not work. You will need to roll back; nobody currently knows a way to interop-unlock an HTC phone that is already on Mango. Alternatively, there are custom ROMs for HTC phones that provide Mango with interop-unlock already baked in.
Sorry i can't post on Globatrons thread. Anyways, i just found out that there is a new update for HC (Rebase of WIFI version to first official WIFI release 3.55.1114.31) My question is, how can i flash this new update coming from RUU_FLYER_WIFI_B09.zip? TIA
Hi,
I have an HTC sensation software number 1.50.415.1 (living in Lebanon) and I am trying to search for an update to Android 4 all the time but getting the same answer always: No update / new OS version for your device.
As I heart, the Android 4 can be installed on this device since more than 6, 7 months. Can anyone tell why I can not find an update for this device? Isn't there an update or is there any way to upgrade to Android 4 (without jailbreaking sure)?
How to check whether the installed OS is official or not? (since after contacting HTC support team, they said this software is not official while I am sure it is. Anyway nothing to say about HTC support team that are very careless and non-professional).
Thank you for your help in advance,
Fadi

I didn't know I should post there (It's my first thread here).
Should I re-post there or I the replies will be here?
If I should re-post there so how should I move this thread?
Thanks.
