Newbie user: HTC Magik Rom upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6

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.

Just bought my Droid Charge today, and ...

... no likey TouchWiz. AT. ALL.
So, I have a few questions:
1) I am currently on Firmware Version 2.2.1. Is this the "ED1" or "ED2" that I see listed in various postings?
2) I want to root - Real bad. I need to restore my apps & settings from my old Droid using MyBackupRoot. But, I also want to be able to unroot, if necessary - in case I need to return the phone. Can I root/unroot easily at this time?
Thanks!
¿GotJazz?

Be prepared, guys are gonna blow you up for asking this question!
You can root and you will need more info on what version you have ED1/ED2.

LOL @ 2.2.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you can read the forums or do a search.
Hey psalm462. how you doing? get your Droid Charge yet?

I *did* do a search before posting. Do you know how many posts (useful or otherwise) there are out there on this topic?
I saw earlier, my in my Settings >> About phone >> Build Number is SCH-i510.ED2 I'm assuming that means I'm on "ED2".
Regarding the rooting, I found this thread: HERE. This is for phones already on ED2.
Regarding the unrooting, I found this thread: HERE. You downgrade to stock ED1, and then take the OTA update to ED2.

GotJazz- Check out the development forums for the Charge. There are many threads regarding rooting/un-rooting.

Am I missing something here? The link above points to the Infuse 4G forum. I was not aware that the platforms were the same. If that is the case, then we have a working CWM mod ported from the captivate and a whole host of other roms to try.
If not, then somebody just borked a phone.

Hey all, just bought Xoom wifi only EUR version with 3.01 and have some questions :)

First of all, I would like to thank in advance the guys who answer my questions.
1)I ve read some threads about Xoom and I see most of you are in 3.2 and in Europe we don't have even 3.1 . How can I make it to be a US version to get the updates? Is it safe or should I wait?
2)My first priority is to find a way to root my device. I saw a one-click root way but the files are offline from xda and it says that it has issues with EUR versions. Whats your advice? Can you help me with the steps because I dont have much android knowledge?
3)Whats your opinion about custom roms for Xoom and how can I flash from 3.01?
Thanks again, and if you have any suggestions on what apps you love using in your xoom it would be great

Apps go the apps section and read.
Changing to us version and flashing roms etc go to the development section and read.

You clearly don't like to chat m8, If I found a topic for EUR but the links are offline as I said before. There are people who like to share their knowledge thats why its a q/a thread and not app section or dev section.

Hi there, welcome to the Xoom family.
Like every family, some members like to talk and others don't.
It's true that the threads you want are mostly in the Development section.
Since you are on Wifi only it should be pretty easy for you to flash the US wifi image (you will actually find that in the 1st post in General) but you should read a bit just to make sure you know what steps to take. Also, language packs are available if you need a language other than English, French or Spanish, but there may be some complications.
I would advise you against using any type of one click rooting method. The Xoom is easy to unlock and root, but is more complicated than many phones. On the plus side, it's pretty hard to brick as long as you follow instructions. Prepare to use adb and you'll do fine. Once you've unlocked and flashed the US image, you will get the OTA updates as soon as you are on a wifi connection. This is where you need to see which rooting method will be best for you. You will need to install the Tiamat Clockwork Mod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (from solarnz's thread) so you can flash from the micro sdcard) There are ways to root from 3.0, 3.1 and from 3.2. Head over to the Development section and look for what you want. Once you are rooted, check out the Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.0 Manta Ray. It really rocks. You will have to wipe user data for many of these steps, so don't bother with setting up more than you have to until you are at you final destination, so to speak.
Good luck!

[Q] help with straight talks lg optimus q L55C

ok so as the title states, i need some help with my lg optimus q on straight talk wirless
this phone to my knowledge is simmilar to the s, and the v versions with the t and the one versions being gsm but i am not sure on that
heres some info
Modle number LGL55C
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version LGL55C_6170
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Build number GRJ22
software version LGL55CV1
so to my knowlege this is a basic version of droid direct from google without much done to it but to lock out tethering in any way and ofcourse the root access. also to my knowlege the 2.3.4 must be downgraded for the root to work before being rebooted into that version or the root will dissapear. this is all based on the optimus v so im not sure on any of this. and i realy need some help
HELP PLEASE

*Bump* Also searching for this
i've found a few links for the recovery and an alpha version of a rooted Operating system for it.
But i've not found the directions for rooting it.. which makes my other finds useless. and i cant post the links to them because some stupid spam prevention on this site demands i have at least 8 posts before i can put up links.
** i found a working root for it.. but since i cant post links.. i'll do what i can..
androidcentral .com /virgin-mobile-optimus-slider/126357-possible-root-try-4 .html
remove the spaces.. you will find a post on the page that has this..
You could more than likely follow [How-To] Root, Custom Recovery, NANDroid Backup but when you get to post #2 (custom recovery) you'll want to adjust for Recovery for the Straight Talk Optiums Q(LGL55C)
follow those links and directions.. i have it working on mine
now about some custom operating systems.. i've only found one.. i've misplaced its link its called lgl44c_Dirty_Alpha_2 think the author said it was just stock with a few extras added.
best of luck to you.. sorry i cant give out the links.. blame the spammers and the forums rules... since my account is several years old you'd think i'd be able to..

Bump any progress?
life is better with root and ICS.

any update

Check into AreaRomQ so far i have found nothing on here for this phone other than people trying to find where to get mods and other things for it with no luck at all. I ran across that rom around july/august last year. You can find it on AndroidArea51 . com (take out the spaces... fail for the no link posting for people who actually are trying to help) Hope this helps you guys out a little better!!!

CURRENT Inspire root and rom guides and links?

I love my Inspire but I want to get rid of bloatware and block ads. Easy right? Just root it. Well, every thread I've found has out of date links or says they are not for 2.3 or higher.
All the links to Bubby's one click either say 'nothing to see here' or that they only work for something prior to 2.3.
Other than one link for the Revolution rom with over 750 pages I have read every page and every link referring to rooting and installing a new rom.
Could someone please post a guide with current links? Or just updated links for the old guides if they still work with the new tools?
Thanks for any help guys!

The only working tool for your device is the Advanced Ace Hack Kit, wich is no longer supported here. Follow my signature and you will find the way...

I may sound like a layman, but there used to be a thread in android development subforum under HTC Inspire that offered ACE hack kit, a program that would root your phone and install an advanced "recovery" system in your phone. Among others, this one is by far the easiest and effortless way of rooting the phone. Once the hack kit is installed, you can effortlessly install any ROM that has been tested by many on HTC Inspire, such as these from the link http://theunlockr.com/category/roms-2/android-roms-2/htc-inspire-4g-roms/
However, like another poster pointed out, the dev that offered us the Advanced ACE hack kit (AAHK) is no longer with XDA. May be he has his own website where he offers it for free. This used to be where it was offered.
Ah, the post above, somewhere masked in the sig is a way to get AAHK.

Your signature led to another and then....

I finally found it! There were a few more new websites that still contained bad links. But a few more searches and a read through another 'I can't find it' thread finally got me to a good link.
Thank you again for the good-naturedness of your reply It seems things have gotten very testy in the last 6 months or so. There are obviously a lot of people who are, um, genuinely challenged when it comes to, um, thinking. Based on spelling it seems that the issue (being stupid) is genuine and yelling at them isn't going to help.
So again - THANK YOU! It really did take a specific search to find the link and it took three searches to find the right specific search. You started me on the path to the right search.
Link found on attn1's twitter.
I for sure will donate to him. Hopefully I won't have to bother him with any kickban questions lol.

Well, I just rooted my inspire 4g yesterday and used the method from here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace:_Rooting_&_CyanogenMod it went smoothly and completed successfully and I flashed the custom rom already.
I tried to follow other hack tools but all them wanted to uninstall htc sync and relative drivers from the computer which is a pain
