Follow these steps to update Android manually:
- Check Version of your phone in Settings->Telephone (for example CRC1, CRC24, … )
- Update corresponding ROM. (CRC1 here, CRC24 here)
- Rename file to “update.zip”
- Copy file to root directory of your sd card.
- Turn off your phone.
- Press and hold “home” button then press power button.
- Wait until the exclamation mark inside the triangle appears.
- Press and hold “home” button and power button again.
- Choose “apply update” with your trackball.
- Wait until installation is finished.
- Restart your phone (first booting could last a little bit longer)
- Enjoy Android Donut.

Quick Search Box by Voice is not available for non-english phones yet. An instruction for updating to Android 2.o (Eclair) will come soon.
Are there way to update manual 32A board ?
Have a look at xda-developers.com forum. There you will find some stuff about updating 32A phones

The link to the CRC24 ROM appears to be broken (http://android.clients.google.com/up…1.6068d598.zip) – do you have a working link?
Thanks in advance

You are right, the correct link is http://android.clients.google.com/updates/vfpioneer/signed-vfpioneer-DRC92-from-CRC1.6068d598.zip
Thanks, but that link appears to be the same as the CRC1 update?
I’ve found it (I think!) – http://android.clients.google.com/updates/vfpioneer/signed-vfpioneer-DRC92-from-CRC24.75416ede.zip
This system has to be awesome
What should i do? Ive got a verification problem
Try to root your phone and install a custom rom (http://joesonic.com/blog/2010/01/24/maybe-the-best-android-2-02-1-custom-rom-for-htc-magic/). Open Eclair is a real recommendation. Very fast and stable on the HTC Magic.
will it have multitouch?
Use OpenEclair: Multitouch integrated by default. Version 1.2.2 is pretty fast.
Witch phone is best, htc diamond 2 or htc magic?
depends on the os you want to have. Android vs. Win Mobile
witch os do you guys think is best?
am having this problem update failed…..install.. aborted
check for 32A, 32B. Do you have a rooted phone?
I can’t find the bloody CRC number on my phone? Is there any danger installing the wrong version? Or will it just not work?
Is there another way to find out CRC number?
I think it does’nt work to install the wrong version.
You can find the CRC number in the software information string under settings.
