Hi,
Can I install a HTC Magic 32A ROM on a HTC Legend or do I need the HTC Desire ROM ?

HTC Legend runs on Legend ROM, no matter how strange that sounds :)

DAAA,
But I can install a G1 ROM on a MyTouch 3G 1.2 (w/3.5mm jack)(Magic)

And I can install a Nexus One ROM on an IPhone...

So my Q still stands, Can I install a HTC Magic 32A ROM on a HTC Legend ?

in theory you can't..but in practice I don't think anyone tried because of the risk of bricking your phone... so do what you think is best!

Donīt try this or you will kill your phone.
HTC Magic 32b and my touch 3g are the same device.
HTC Magic 32a and Legend and Desire arenīt the same device.
