Default Rooting the Magic - Idea
I think, it would be possible to root the Magic with the goldcard method.
But there's one problem:
If you flash to rc29, there is no input method.
So, someone has to create a custom .nbh of the current rooted 1.5 builds.
Creating .nbh's must be possible think, because it worked for Windows Mobile .nbh's too.

Why wouldn't you be able to just flash to RC29, then hook the phone up to a PC with the USB cable, and run adb shell? From within adb shell you can do the telnetd and remount. Same as if you typed it on the phone keyboard.

You're right. But is RC29 compatible with the Magic?
