HTC Drivers, recovery problems

[whittall1]

Hi

I am trying to get my friends recently purchased Magic firing on all 4 cylinders.

The handset is 32b, rooted, has recovery and the rom is android 1.6.

Main problems are:

1. When i try to install a different rom I get an error message "E/can't open/update.zip. I have tried a couple of roms but get the same error and I have named them "update" not "update.zip.zip"!

2. I cant get the phone recognised on 3 diffrent PC's, each time I just get USB devoce not recognised. ive looked in Device Mnager and it doesnt even show up there.

Can anyone help with these problems and can anyone recommend and link a good rom.

many thanks
Dave

If you decide that methods too risky, post your fastboot info so others can advise.

OK, update.
Although the phone is S-off I dont think it is rooted. If I go into terminal it is showing that the phone is not rooted. Also when I try to install RomManager it tells me that the phone isn't rooted.
This is where the problems really start. As I can't get my PC to recognise the phone I am now stuck!

The link I gave above is for someone who can't access their pc due to a fault on their phone(or they are lazy like me), so a pc isn't required for what you need to do.
I noticed the download links may be missing so for starters heres another link to sort out the root.

or google search universal androot, which I can confirm works on froyo 2.2 - I've just unrooted and then rooted my 32b to test it.
