Hi,
A friend of mine has just bought a pre-owned vodafone branded magic.
He has asked me to de-brand it and install a new rom (preferably 2.3)
Is there an easy walkthrough for this and what important things do I need to look out for. I know that I have to root the handset and I have decided to follow the unrevoked method.

2 early problems:-

He cannot get his PC to recognise his handset even though he has installed HTC Sync.

Also

He cannot get any data(3g) he can only make calls and text.

Any solutions for the above or hints and tips to get this phone up to its potential would be great.

many thanks in advance.
