What you mean with the "connection method"?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I know whats the problem! Windows uses separate drivers for fastboot/recovery and OS modes.. you installed OS HTC drivers but not the ones for fastboot, do that first :)

(its the same driver actually - windows sux - just plug in your phone while in fastboot and go into device manager...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] giorgos147:
Aaaaargh. Can't do it again :(

Can you be more descriptive, please, because I am not so good with mobiles and I am searching for the problem for about 2 hours? :(

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Alright so, windows recognizes your phone nicely while it is awake, android booted. the problem is that it does not while your phone is in fastboot and if im correct your RUU stalls at "waiting for bootloader".

To solve this problem do the following:

1. boot your phone into fastboot (back+power)

2. connect it via usb

3. go into "device manager" on your PC

4. search for your phone there, click it and delete the driver

5. when it asks for the driver navigate to where you installed HTCSync

that should be it :) ... if it doesn't ask for a driver you can choose "update driver" once it is done

@Ace: htc sync uses different drivers which RUU only runs on, google drivers wont work for the ruu

Seems like most of the people here has a hboot-1.76.2007 (sapp10000) w/s-off after flash. But I have hboot-1.76.2007 (sapp50000) <-sapp50000 after flash but s-off. Mine's a rogers Magic after the 911 update, whta does that mean or it mean anything at all? Rooted anyway!!

Thanks

P.S. any 2.1 cooked ROM suggestion??

For the recovery image are Rogers Magic users using the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img or are they using the one in the instructions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] giorgos147:
Which 2.1 android rooted distro do you prefer for 32A, 1.76.2007 and 6.35 radio?

Also, to install for example Cyanogen ROM, I need to install and the cyanogen Recovery or If I have someone's else recovery I still can install Cyanogen rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arpitjain91:
Canada2005: You can use either the recovery you mentioned in your post or the Hero recovery from Amon_RA.

Zeta_A4 & Giorgos: Use the rom from the following link (Only rom on which everything is working so far including Camera and Live Wallpapers). Also make sure that you enable the cache using the following commands either through ADB or Terminal Emulator:

I try to use the Goldcard method (I've used that before several times), but during the installation proces I get CID error...Any help would be appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arpitjain91:
You did not make the gold card properly therefore you are getting a CID check error. Try the process again for making the gold card and if you encounter the same problem, try using a different memory card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arpitjain91:
Tropa: Try updating your phone with the stock ROM first and then repeat the procedure required to root your magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thihaz:
Thank a million!

Thank you so much for people whoever made our lives LIVE again.

When I run RUU, I got a custom id error.

Then I flashed it from gold card which was working fine.

and run RUU to install again (just want to make sure)

then flashed the recovery and flashed the eng spl.

Thanks a million.

Time to flash modded ROM :D

and need to change my signature again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilentTweak:
If we flash it via gold card do we change the .exe filename to nbh? Or leave as is?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arpitjain91:
You leave it as it is. All you have to do is to make sure that your gold card is in your phone while flashing. I have made a blog post summarizing the steps to root this phone.

This also debrand's???

I just noticed that my freshly rooted and updated Magic (wow, thanks once again) is also debranded. No more Rogers as the first screen before the Rom splash. It now just says HTC-Magic. Excellent, can I easily do the same on my other Magics that were rooted prior to the Rogers 911 update?

The only difference I see between the phones are as follows. Mainly the radio and recovery. Is it the radio or perhaps the hboot even though hboot show the same version? Any danger to doing this? I updated the radios on my older Magics so not too scared but this isn't terribly important. But would be nice to be rid of that screen on my unlocked phones.

Rogers Magic rooted via this method (originally had the Rogers post 911 update)

->update. It isn't the hboot although that gives me the "htc magic" splash before the ROM splash but the 1st Rogers logo is still there. Perhaps it takes a full RUU update and then ROM flash to get back to my ROM yet debranded?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] giorgos147:
Could you suggest me a good 2.1 ROM?

I want it to be fast (As fast as it can be, because Sanpei's ROM isn't too fast and that is the reason for trying another ROM) and stable.

Please, some help. :)

Mr

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
To answer my own question about using this to debrand an already rooted Magic, yes it works. I first did a nand backup of my current ROM. Then followed the gold card method to update with the Euro ROM. After replacing the SPL and recovery I did another nand backup just in case I want to look at the Euro ROM again. I restored my latest backup and booted. No more Rogers at bootup and my original ROM is back as it was.

most kewl.. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shayne122:
So I've done something wrong, and tried to search for the answer. Honestly it's probably something quick and easy, but my over-excitement to root is probably clouding my judgement a bit.

What I did was (on a 32A Rogers Magic, 1.76.0010 SPL with Windows 7 x86) -

- Downloaded the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_305401.exe, and attempted to install.

--Upon a device model error, decided to go with a goldcard

- Created a goldcard using unlockr method on 2GB Kingston MicroSD (adb drivers, sdk, hex etc) and put it in the phone.

--ran the RUU in administrator

And this is where I'm stuck. I'm getting error 170, USB connection error.

I reinstalled the newest HTC Magic Sync software, which does connect when initialized on the phone.

Anything I possibly missed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ottawanate:
WOW! Goldcard works for Magics.

This is awesome news, now wish I wouldn't have kept my Dream and sold my Magic+.

As i'm still stuck with a Dream with perfected SPL, is there any way to use these steps to root a Rogers Dream (as all we have to root right now is JTAG method)?

Hopefully someone is working on a solution for us Dream users.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SilentTweak:
You don't use HTC Sync. Just put the exe on your goldcard pop it in your phone and head to fastboot mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shayne122:
igggnore. sorry
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkrle:
Just to confirm that this worked for me.

Many thanks to the person responsible for this!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shayne122:
I ended up just throwing it on flash drive and installing it from my XP box, which fixed the usb error.

Is that fair game? or should I have really copied the exe on the goldcard?

EDIT:

I'm probably doing something equally as great here, but...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] papay007:
Maybe you forget to copy files to sd card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
That means the file isn't on the SD card or not under /sdcard. While still in shell you can "cd /sdcard" and then "ls" to see if it is there. if not then you need to put it there first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] papay007:
Forget this..:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arpitjain91:
put the file in your tools folder and then try the following command:

adb shell

# flash_image recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

}
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shayne122:
I'm honestly very sorry to keep spamming this thread, I know it's not really what it's for... anyways.

When I cd sdcard, all it does is repeat my command, sans-#. same with 'ls'

Also, when I mount it, I can see it in windows explorer.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong..

Hello everyone thanks for the instructions. so I have been able to install the RUU and even flash the recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img but when I get to the spl zip it doesn't let me at first but then says it installed when i click it again but when I go to back+power it says the following:

Hoot-1.76.0008

cpld-12

radio-6.35.08.29

Did i do something wrong in the gold card? or do I have a bad spl zip because if I got to home+power it will show me:

build : RA-hero-v1.6.2

which means that I was able to flash the the image but not the spl? I'm confused. Appreciate the help in adavance.

Wondering if any of my fellow Canucks on the Rogers network, could PM me to help me through it? Again, I am completely never rooted on the Magic, but am interested in trying, especially if I can run some apps from my SD card and save some phone memory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
You need certain drivers for the phone first (if you do not already have them);

[b][COLOR="Red"]HTC Sync[/COLOR][/b]
[url]http://www.htc.com/hero/m/files/downloads/HTCsync.zip[/url]

[b]32-Bit Windows[/b]
[url]http://depositfiles.com/files/yd61xorii[/url]

[b]64-Bit Windows[/b]
[url]http://depositfiles.com/files/yz4rg8u3i[/url]

Download the Sync and which ever drivers apply to your windows and extract into a folder on your desktop. Connect your phone via USB to your PC and see if windows try to install anything. You will probably have to look in device manager as ADB might not have drivers installed/properly installed. Just right click ADB and select update drivers and locate the drivers you unzipped; this should make ADB work 100% and sure make any future updating/shell running a breeze.

This is where you download the RUU (it's an automated ROM updating program) in which it will "upgrade" your phone to the EU ROM (don't worry, you won't be stuck on it permanently). For me though I needed to create a goldcard, you can create a goldcard by following this guide;

@carz12 pointed out that if you make the goldcard, you can just run the RUU and it will bypass the CID check without having to use HBOOT; do it this way for easier rooting.

One of the steps for creating a goldcard requires changing the first two characters to '0'. Some guides use the word digits -- which would state to some changing only the numbers -- and this may cause confusion. Just change the first two characters of your CID to '0' when prompted;

Ex.

2fb9006a550412010202024435654321 is my reversed string;

00b9006a550412010202024435654321 would be with the '0's in place.

Create the card and download these files (it's the rom file from the RUU and the recovery image):

[COLOR="red"]sappimg.zip[/COLOR]
[url]http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ce16ae4a310cefcded24a2875c7fa58ee294f0a40b97c18bdaada8390b259c5f[/url]

[COLOR="red"]Recovery Image[/COLOR]
[url]http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561124[/url]

Put both of these files onto your "goldcard" and insert the card into your phone. Reboot your phone and hold Vol Down + Power to go to HBOOT *this make take some time*; this will read the sappimg.zip and apply it as an update to your phone. Once that is done, you can use the adb -- if you do not have the SDK, download it here:

-- and flash the recovery image;

Once you do that, reboot your phone again but this time hold Home + Power. This will bring up Amon's recovery screen -- knowing that the flash went good -- and now you can flash any custom ROM you want (check your phone board though '32A/32B' and kernel version before flashing ROM's).

Test out some ROM's and enjoy; hopefully this clears up some information.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
Try uninstalling all your HTC and Android drivers; what you can do is troubleshoot to see where its having problems reconizivng your device. Try plugging in your phone while its off and booting it up; should install some drivers the check after its booted that USB debugging is on in the settings; Applications > Development > USB Debugging. Windows should try to install some drivers, does it fail on any driver install? If not, check your device manager and check if there are any warnings.

Type it exactly as it is; slashes and everything, that preceding bracket is also important. Check your file names as well just to be safe.
