Android software upgrade on HTC Magic 32A
Problem:
HTC Magic mobile phone has outdated firmware
Marketplace apps issues under 1.5 version
Latest update from HTC is 3.05.401.3 with still plain old 1.5
Solution:
3 Step Firmware Upgrade.
2 first steps required only the first time we do this on a new phone.
For 32A Magic with 6.35.x radio.
Expected results:
Rooted (OFF) phone with latest boot and recovery images, CyanogenMod ROM 6 (CM6) and android 2.2.1 firmware with market browser access and far more apps compatible.
1) "root", or unblock firmware deployment with custom boot firmware
by starting the phone with "back" + "power" buttons, we see the fastboot version page
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H --> needs to show "OFF"
HBOOT-1.76.0089 (SAPP10000) --> needs to show "1.76.2007"
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29 --> needs to show "3.22.20.17" (step 2)

a) install latest available package from http://www.htc.com/pt/help/htc-magic/#download
b) create a goldcard, place 1.6.2 recovery and 1.76.2007 boot. I recommend android pt goldcard method with cyanogenmod.com recovery and boot files
c) install them
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
exit
adb push update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip /sdcard/
adb shell reboot recovery

3) install new rom. using lastest stable CyanogenMod rom, 6.0.1-DS.
magic requires also installing a kernel fix. finally, install google default apps (market, youtube, etc)
