OK, I finally got round to rooting my HTC Magic to Android 1.6.It took a while to find the correct steps, until I found “theunlockr” video .
A rough guide is :
1. Installed Android SDK
2. Installed Android Eclipse plug-in (for app development)
3. Installed Linda File Manager
4. Root your device - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/ – based on your version of the magic version 32/34 or something.
5. Rebook into reboot/update menu, home+back.and clear your device data.
6. Get a new ROM from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
7. Copying the update.zip on the sdcard reboot/update menu, home+back.
8. Power that baby up…
If I pass my PRINCE2 exams I plan to treat myself to the new Google Nexus One.
