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.

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.
