How to get Official Android 2.1 in Indian HTC Magic

 

I am sure many of the HTC Magic owners must be waiting to taste the flavor of Android 2.1 for the long time. I recently found a way to update my HTC Magic phone with Official Android 2.1 software. Here are the simple steps.

hardware that you need before starting the following steps:

1. Windows XP PC.

2. Wifi connection.

3. 2GB (atleast) SD card

4. Miro USB data cable.

3. You must have a gold card SD card. To create this refer the XDA developer forum here

4. Once making the gold card, insert the SD card (gold card) in to the phone and run the RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe

5. Once the installation is successful, please enable the Wifi on you phone and connect to the wifi network. The phone immediately asks for the official ROM upgrade to Android 2.1. Say yes to download.
