If you're having problems read this

READ THIS IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS

I think it has a lot to do with laziness, illiteracy, arrogance, impatience, and I'm sure a few other issues I haven't thought of.

I say this because there's really only 3 scenarious that can play out here.

All devices of the same type AREN'T the same (and we know how likely that is). In other words, my 32B/A isn't the same as your 32B/A.

The ROM download is bad so the flash ends up bad (that's why CRC data is provided, but I bet the b00ns never thought to ask what it is, or the lazy people don't use it then ***** about the ROM being bad).

People either can't follow directions because of illiteracy, language barriers, etc..., or they DON'T follow directions because they think they're smarter than the OP or those who create these ROMs.

If you're getting F/Cs that others aren't, getting boot-loops, think that boot has failed, etc... Then you're NOT doing something right. When a thread has 10000 posts, the chances that you're the first experiencing a problem is pretty freaking thin. If you really think that's what happening, go to the dev page in the 1st post and create a bug report so the problem can be PROPERLY investigated. I'm not sure about the OP here, but I wouldn't spend my entire day, every day, going through all these posts to read the same crap over and over (because people don't search/read), but I would likely take well written bug reports very seriously because they demonstrate that some is thorough and not lazy. That says a lot about the effort they've likely put into things to begin with.

Remember, this ROM is setup for the Dream by default and you must use the MAGIC script to modify it for the magic. From experience I can tell you that replacing the files from ZeroXd 5.2r4 (search to find the instructions) for sapphire (magic) when the phone shows the language page of Setup, then rebooting and running the magic script, then rebooting and running Setup, WILL give you a working rom, with no F/Cs, few (if any) home reloads, working WiFi, working A2DP (NO HSP/HFP) Bluetooth, GPS, sensors (though I have had a tiny bit of trouble with the digital compass), CompCache, and basically a nice running HERO rom, EVEN on a 32B magic.

If you really want this ROM in the state I just described, feel like you just can't get it setup (it DOES take some work, skill, patience, and knowledge of ADB), PM me. I'm tempted to do a very detailed video, but not on the whim of a bunch of lazy people. Perhaps a nice handful of small donations ($1 - $5) via PayPal would convince me. As much as I'd love to just help everyone, by principle I'm not going to spend hours of my time (messing with my phone) to help people who won't help themselves. I say won't because until ~3 weeks ago I was a WM user, had never touched an Android, and had just a little Linux background experience, but I've been able to learn everything I needed to start building my own updates from these forums alone.

If you just don't want to do the work, learn, and troubleshoot; PM me with an hourly rate offer and I'll hand-hold you through the process for profit (as best I can anyway). I don't think anyone here would have a problem with that suggestion, but if you do (senior users, ops, and devs that is), PM me and I'll edit this bit.

I'm NOT saying everyone with a problem is stupid, lazy, arrogant, etc.., but I AM saying that those attributes will increase the likelihood you'll have problems and looking at the number of people here who can't get this ROM working smoothly, I have to think there's a lot of all those attributes occuring in a few people, or a few of those attributes occuring in a lot of people around here.

Do us all a favor and don't spam the thread trying to tell me what I jerk I am for saying these things. You know if you aren't or are not, if you've really tried or been lazy, if you can read or cannot, etc....
