Root Question

---

Hello. I'm trying to learn how to root my htc magic wich i'm going to buy soon, i would like to know wich tecnic to use because i'm confused since they are totaly diferent.


is this one enought? and also will let me install other roms as all apps? hxxp://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

Or i must also use this one: hxxp://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking

I've been reading and since the pages lead to one another i'm asking. :P Thank you!

Just from briefly going through them, they seem the same but one of them gives a lot more detail and step by step instructions.

What's your SPL? And if you're on Cupcake 1.5, you should give this a try.

(They have an old recovery image on that site, make sure you get the latest)
It's ridiculously easy and doesn't require all the commands on the desktop. But to be honest, all the methods aren't that difficult.

ps. Make sure you flash the right recovery image, read read read! Pick the wrong one and possible brick! Check if you're on 32A / B and yeah. You'll probably see all this reading anyways

Oh and I just noticed that you're going to buy one soon.. If you're from rogers then

But yaeh, other than that the two methods you're looking at are similar. I would probably follow http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...pphire_Hacking as it's step by step (When I was a noob I was so confusd with everything lol)

pm me if you need help and I'll do what I can
