For 3 months now I've been trying to fix my rooted HTC Magic 32B Vodafone branded handset.
I could type pages regarding all of the processes / ROM's that I've tried to apply without success, but I won't bore you.
Basically, I did not back-up my stock ROM, and applied an HTC Hero ROM successfully, which worked no probs for 3 months until I installed an app that seemed to have interferred with the Hero ROM and the 'phone looked bricked.
I could still get in to 'phone system recovery but couldn't use fastboot etc because the phone wouldn't boot into the phone op sys.
FINALLY!!!!! I copied RA-IONv1.6.3G.zip ROM to the SD, used the 'phone system recovery 'Apply sdcard:choose zip to apply it - bingo: T-Mobile ROM. It now 'works', with a Voda splash screen, then T-Mobile sim request. I'd much rather not have this T-Mobile requirement though.
Disregarding all other methods of applying a new ROM ('cos I've proved copying a ROM to the SD works) - does ANYONE know of a Voda ROM that I can use?
I have tried many, but most seem to fail and point to requiring a goldcard - which I don't have and couldn't produce at the time due to having a 'bricked' phone.
The ROM must be HTC Magic 32B, and I really want to simply copy it to my SD and apply it.
If not; can anyone explain why the T-Mobile ROM worked in this way - yet all other ROM's didn't?
Please be patient guys - I'm an expert in some things, but ROM flashing ain't one of 'em.
I also hope I've chosen the right forum - if not - pls let me know.

I am in a similar situation. Installed cyanogenmod 6.0. It worked fine but I want to return it to the original state my phone was in. Could I get the recovery, OS and everything how it was before I put a cyanogen on it? Is there a way to do that?
@darrylles Have you had any luck yourself?
sorry if this a noobish question, but is there a chance of PSFreedom being ported to the desire HD in the same way it was for the desire?
Moved to General.

Bump! is anyone working on this?
Is it really worth jailbreaking your PS3? You lose multiplayer functionality which is a major drawback.
am interested in knowing about this as well....since its just a different payload, and needs a rooted android, don't see it really hard to get it working on DHD.
i am very intersted in it too, have a read here:

With psfMod, you need to have a special payload that allows PSN and patched gaming. I too got a desire, but i cant find the payload!
If you don't ahve psfMod, then you need to do the following:
1) Enable S-OFF [AlphaRev] Public release S-OFF HTC Desire GSM - xda-developers
2) Download psfmod recovery psfMOD :: Bravo
3) once downloaded, boot into fastboot (with the 3 androids on skateboards), make sure you're in fastboot (first option on the first screen) and plug in a USB.
4) go to the AndroidSDK/Tools folder, and run the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [location of the .img file]

unfortunately the psfmod desire instructions dont work, we need a new image that will work with the dhd, as the current desire image just loads upto the htc logo

I rarely go online with my PS3 anyway and if I wish to I can always just update my PS3 firmware
I talked to klutsh he created already a lot of PSFreedom recoverys.
The only thing he needs is a source / vendor tree from the recovery image.
Paul created a normal recovery so you could also ask him if he release his vendor tree or at least to klutsh:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...2-r2-clockworkmod-recovery-for-htc-desire-hd/
Does anyone have any updates for this ? I would really like to be able to run PSFreedom from my DHD
Is this what we are looking for http://www.klutsh.com/2010/12/06/psfmod-for-htc-desire-hd/ ?
I've read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772795 that we do need a particular (custom) ROM to make all this work and that the original one with Sense makes this infeasible. I don't know anyway if this can be applied to us, because it speaks about the 'normal' Desire and says Htc hasn't yet released a source code of the ROM, while I know Htc released the source of the base kernel of the DHD (well, that's not the Sense stuff, I know).
So, could someone give some hint? I absolutely don't want to wipe out my dhd for this, that would be only a 'let's see what I can do with an hacked ps3', nothing else...
wow, thanks ErMeglio, that's exactly what I was looking for!
I slowly am understanding how all this works...just did the whole stuff (rooted, flashed recovery, run it, flashed the ps3) and it WORKS.
PsFreedom worked but I had errors when opening the two new options. How are them supposed to work?
In the maintime I just wrongly sent my ps3 to a so-called "factory/service mode" (=useless!!) with the dhd and I am working to let it out of it....seems I need a LV2Diag.self file and I'm grabbing one
Edit
Just gone out from factory mode!
Check if your blu ray movie playback still works, there's reports of the service mode disabling it.

I had read it, but thought it was only because of downgrading, which I did not even try to because I have 3.41. I will give it a try in a week or so because I don't have a bd at home, I only rent them sometimes!
Anyway I got how the whole thing work and managed to install an ftp server, a file manager etc...and they are resident too! Cool!!!

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
-Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
-Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
-Updated exFAT to latest commits
-Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
-Update SuperSU binary
-Fixed saving of backup partitions list
-Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
-Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
-Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
-Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
-Various other bug fixes and tweaks
Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.
Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

no, USB mount does not work in recovery. It appears to be locked out in recovery mode. the workarounds to get it working are one of two things.
(1) fastboot boot awesomeRecovery.img (this works because fastboot then boots recovery on the boot/temporary partition. So the you're not actually in recovery mode
(2) Offmode (this works because again you're again not technically in recovery mode. It uses the recovery ramdisk, kernel, and binaries but its still not technically recovery.
On that note I've seen suggestions that it's possibly a recovery issue with cwm and twrp. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be the case. If it were then in CWM u wouldn't have usb when u fastboot boot the recovery or in offmode (fair assumption since both these options use the same kernel, ramdisk and binaries as recovery?). Can it be fix? Not that i know of. It looks to me like a total radio or bootloader lockout from using USB in recovery. Which means on a radio or bootloader level USB is disabled in recovery mode.
edit: USB issue could be kernel related and just need for a modified kernel to be compiles for recovery. BUT we don't have kernel source because HTC isn't winnering by releasing it on time.
Code:
//TODO: ADD ABOVE KERNEL SOURCE RELEASE FAIL TO THE MOUNTING ISSUES BELOW
On that note I think we should raise the point to HTC that this locking down of the device does not suite our needs.Key points of fail would be as follows.
(1) Can NOT flash the boot partition from recovery. I've personally contacted HTC on this numerous times and they seem to just not care. Responding with "It's a security issue" and so forth. I would love to know how this is a security issue of any sort. Every other Android device has this ability except HTC devices since they started the HTC unlock ordeal. It's utter fail IMHO and HTC should listen to our needs .
(2) Can NOT flash recovery or boot partitions from system. This issue is NOT a deal breaker and isn't so bad when it comes down to the nitty gritty. But since the issue above exists, flashing with applications like htc dumlock and such were our only options. These work around apps cant be used to flash now because of the lockpout from system and it wouldn't be such an issue if HTC didnt lock us out in recovery from flashing boot.
(3) Can NOT flash P*IMG.zips in hboot/bootloader anymore. For the unlocked device running a custom firmware this is a must. Specially when radio updates and such are needed from the OEM. We seen a big use of this on the Sensation when HTC updated the device from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich. The update required new hboots, radios, and partitioning to actually use. So in that instead of having to flash a RUU Which didn't exist the only choice was to flash a custom P*IMG.zip that included all the radios and images need to run the builds. At this point we can't update those image/partitions without flashing an RUU. This makes no since and doesn't seem to do anything but make things more difficult on the unlocker to customize and modify their device.
(4) If all the conditions above HAVE to exist. Then why not give us documentation or utilities to flash fimware.zips from recovery like HTC does? When HTC was the proud Nexus device there was full support and documentation available on how to flash firmware on their devices. This made anyone choosing an HTC device blessed with knowing that their device was not only open and unlocked, but when flashing firmware that it was being flashed correctly to Google and HTC's standards. This code has now been moved out of recovery since right before the move to edify scripting and moved to vendor/htc/ (not arguing this choice as thats where it belongs from a maintaining point of view). But the problem is that vendor/htc is proprietary now. Which means Documentation and support for flashing firmware correctly is not available and left to developers of recoveries for the community to figure out. One would think if HTC was standing behind us that they would step up and give us a PROPER/OPEN/REAL unlock, or if they cant for the lame excuse of security concerns, then give us the documentation and utilities to flash the boot and firmware partitions properly. I mean really... what is there to lose there?
(5) WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HTC UNLOCK? It was to reach out and accept us as a community. It was to keep us from having to exploit their firmware and look for holes to gain control of a device we rightfully own. WHAT DID HTC UNLOCK DO? It unlocked the devices at first and with each new revision of the unlock it gets more locked down and harder for us to use it as intended. WHAT DOES THAT LEAD TO? It leads to us hoping someone will take the time out of their life and exploit HTC's firmware so we can have access and control of our devices. I mean, it's bad when u have people poking a device with a paperclip to get a device unlocked to avoid a official unlock.
Bottom line; I'm personally fed up with HTC's unlock. It's absolute crap! It does not serve the purpose it was intended and only makes things harder then they were before. As a devoted HTC customer it has me questioning if my next device will be an HTC. With all the other options that would allow me to spend less time trying to gain proper access to my device and more time actually having fun with it, why choose HTC? Everyone else is shying away for these same issues. Everyone with an HTC unlocked device waits for someone to exploit HTC's firmware and give them a proper unlock. Why not just choose a device without the locked down/unlock instead? IDK but HTC needs to step up and listen to us. Every HTC forum with an HTC Unlock is screaming for these issues to be fixed.
My call to HTC is to fix these issue and/or give us proper documentation on flashing firmware to our devices via custom recoveries. The boot flashing lockout is dumb, pointless, and in NO WAY a security threat AT ALL and is nothing more then a CRAP RESPONSE to something that they sould be working to correct, instead of ignoring. In the end its hurting HTC's relations with developers and is ultimately doing the opposite of what it's original intent.
HTC, PLEASE READ AND LISTEN!!!11ONEone
To everyone else, SPREAD THE WORD!!!ONEone
This is the future of HTC unlock and each new device it gets worse. Maybe HTC will listen and address these issues, then again maybe we will just need to find another OEM that supports us and does listen.
Damn, toast, this is where you are now?!
I'm still using my OG Evo 4g that was rooted via your root method at launch. Still eng hboot. Full openness. First android device for me and I attribute my awesome time with it in large part to you.
That said, great points. I intend to get Evo LTE. Unless it's as locked as you guys are experiencing. Have you considered starting a thread with the with the points you laid out, getting co-signers and submitting to HTC?

Hi all, I'm new here, and I'm new with my htc one x.. I love my phone, but it have not otg, and that make me.very sad.. I would like to use otg, but without root my phone.. is it posible?? I don't want to root because I've contact htc support, and they say that if I do that I will lost my warranty, and I will not be able to received updates from htc server updates.. so please help me.. thanks..
You can still recieve the updates from HTC but yes it may void your warranty,
and NO OTG is not supported yet with onex either with stock kernel or custom kernel.
Now you decide for your self.
Rooted advantages:
Remove bloatware s
Remove ads
Call recording
Better sound, camera using mods
Wonderful ROMS
Latest updates even before HTC releases for your phone.
Titanium backup
Etc etc....
Disadvantages:
Chance of Warranty void
Root to get the best of this beast.
root! cz u will love it even more after that
Advantages:
Full Control Over over your phone as u become Superuser
Back Up And Restore The Whole ROM
Install Custom ROMs and Custom kernels and all awesome Mods and themes
Backup your apps and their data using Titanium backup
Overclocking and undervolting
Get earlier updates
Disadvantages:
It voids your phone's warranty
It involves the risk of "bricking" your phone

From his thread:
USB Host Mode How-To:
1. Connect an USB cable to your STILL-NOT-POWERED USB Hub
2. Connect at least ONE device to your USB Hub (for example, a pendrive)
3. Connect the other end to your HTC One X (OTG cable required! ID Pin has to be triggered!)
4. Connect external power to your USB Hub
5. Play with your USB devices on your HTC One X
6. Thanks, EternityProject

check his latest post its working now
new kernel posted on 02.09
Features:
-- Overclocked version: MAX 1.7GHz (1.6GHz if quadcore)
-- USB HOST Mode finally working!
-- Memory and cache management optimizations
-- Modified Cortex-A9 (Tegra 3 core)'s cache behavior.
-- Latest Tegra drivers
-- Deadline I/O Scheduler as default
My bad.. Didn't checked the thread lately.
Thanks for reply.. for info I use a unlock htc one x international (quad core)
When you say warranty is void, what does it mean exactly and what does it implicate?
What is the difference between OTG and USB host??
With USB host I will be able to connect ps3 controller, pendrive, mouse, keyboard or other things like that?
And if I root my phone and then I want to get back to the original version, is it possible? (for the warranty as well)..

warranty void means,, HTC can reject your warranty claims if you unlock your bootloader.
That all depends on the country and service center.
If you root your phone you can go to the orginal version but your bootloader will say relocked.
thats how HTC will know that you have unlocked the bootloader.
Root or not root
You can read this post to find out the advantages and disadvantages of rooting your device. Hope it helps you!
In short, yes it's definitely worth while. Rooting your device opens the door to numerous options not to mention using (first and foremost) Titanium to back everything up in case something goes south.

Rooting HOX is definitely a must if you want to get the max out of it.. Advantages according to my personal experience :
1. Can remove bloatware
2. Can enhance performance as well as battery life with the help of custom kernels and some tweaks.
3. If you like to experiment, you can try different roms.
There are many other reasons depending upon personal preferences

First of all sorry for starting this thread. But the amount of information is incredible, so I thought it'll be better to ask from people who already know the stuff.
So here goes:
1 - I would like to install a nexus 4 rom (stock custom, what not). Does it mean I have to replace the bootloader? Because I read like half of the thread (where the conversion is discussed) and there were post saying that it's not a requirement for canadian phones.
2 - If I have to to replace the boot loader will the external sd slot be working? (okay, found out there's no slot)

It sounds like you don't have a lot of experience flashing ROMs. My advice to you is to only flash ROMs that are for your specific device. If it requires a "hack" using "LGNPST" to "convert" it to an N4, then you need to stay away from it (i.e., if any of those words show up in the thread: DON'T DO IT). If you really wanted an N4, why didn't you just buy an N4?
So not flash n4 roms. High chance of brick because their parition layout is different. If some one used absolute paths instead of "by-name", then flash a nexus 4 boot.img will ovrerid your rpm parition and it's a instant brick on reboot.
True, I own only two devices, both from Samsung (so flashing them is extremely easy).
Sd slot part was really confusing because LG has 5 models.
I am in Europe and N4s are extremely expensive here (450 euro for 8gb). So this phone was a nature choice.
Well anyways there is no way to convert and still have 32gb, so I'll stick with CM or another custom.
Thanks for your reply.
