I do think there are multiple way to 'update' the ROM - looks like proximus
hw are same as Rodger branded one (32a - so it means hackable) - found at
least one by a belgian guy:
http://gyd.be/blog/2009/08/19/installer-le-firmware-gyd-sur-votre-htc-magic/-
his rom are based on proximus ones.

But more generic how-to:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/08/how-to-root-your-htc-magic/ should work as
well...

Btw - I don't have any gphone, so it's pure google-ing - If you brick it,
you brick it ;-)
