Hey guys,
I know, there are several tutorials who explain, how to root a HTC Legend HBOOT 1.01.
I created a goldcard successfully, but now, the tutorial I want to use, this one, tells me in its second step, I should already have a rooted phone, but I'm using the tutorial to root this phone ?!
How should I already have a rooted phone in a tutorial which tells me how to root it?
Btw, next step of the tutorial is, to downgrade the legend to 1.31.
Can I use this tutorial too? [HOWTO] DOWNGRADE to 1.31 which you can then root for Legend 2.1
Please, can someone bring me back on the right way, I am confused and read too much different tutorials, don't know which one to follow now.
My target is a working CM7 with CWR on my mates legend.
Nobody can help me? Plz, just a link might help...
Quick intro
Hi
you need a Legend with version 2.1 of Android if you want to root your phone - and part of the 2.1 software suite includes RUU ver.1.31 which is the last version allowing us to upload to our own devices.
1. First you make a goldcard making it possible to downgrade your otherwise locked firmware in your phone as your goldcard unlocks Android 2.2 on your Legend.
2. Then you install Android 2.1 which includes RUU 1.31 making it possible to upgrade/update/exchange the ROM as you please as it is locked in later versions after version 1.31.
3. You find a good ROM on and follow one of the many guides on this page TO THE LETTER - ROM on sdcard and so on
4. Flash, Enjoy and press Thanks to the people who gave you the ROM

Hi Guys
Currently trying to root my Legend (after downgrading to 1.31), and put on a custom ROM.
All has went great so far but I'm at the stage of needing the "Legend Rooting Tools"...none of the download links I can find anywhere work (everywhere seems to point to the same place!)
Can anyone give me a working link to download the Rooting Tools?
Cheers
only just spotted your post, but if you still have a problem then this link could help:

but be advised that it is for h-boot 1.00 Legends (forum also has tutorials for 1.1 etc)
Hi I have a wildfire s on 3UK, HBOOT 1.03.0000, s-on, android 2.3.3 htc sense 2.1 and software number 1.33771.5. Ive tried all ways to unlock the bootloader for my phone so that I can put a custom rom on it but when im going through htcdev it wont let me do the update to 2.17.0.0 Im getting error code 191 rom is not supported. Is there anyway you can help me please as this is getting on my nerves now after reading god knows how many different threads. I have never done this before either and am bit of a beginner. If you can help my in basic and easy to understand steps that would be great. I also have clockwork mod installed on my device but it wont let me do a recovery???
So i wanted to install and Custom ROM, total noob in that.
Basically i found like hundreds of different guides of how to do so step-by-step but there are way too much different guides so im getting confused..
Anyone can link me to the easiest and fastest, not confusing, guide?
I've got European EVO 3D ( Estonian provider Elisa ), HBoot is 1.49.00018, everything is Stock, nothing ever changed or modified so far..
What i want to do is Unlock/Change hboot to older version if that is needed atm and put some custom ROM, so could anyone help me to find a helpful and simplified guide?
I haven't tried any of the guides so far, since every guide is most likely very confusive in some part, like one starts with guide how to change ANY hboot version to 7 one, but in same guide guy says that 9 and 18 hboot users should use other guide and links to it,

Hi there! Just now I bought a new HTC Flyer 16GB wifi only, I just want to root it and s-off, im very sorry to all who will be reading it but I just want to know what is the latest HBOOT and Recovery for HTC Flyer WIFI. i just already updated it over the air into Honeycomb 3.2 and I feel my device is so laggy.I've got confused in some of the instruction there in the thread and i'm asking your kind heart if you can help me to know and to got the correct version / links so I can root it rightly. Is there no possibility for me to brick it? and if I brick it, it's easy to unbrick it or not? Thank you very much for your kind help and I really apppreciate all the help that you can share. Thank you very much and sorry for my awful question
Your goal is back to gb?
if ever i root my device? is it possible also to install custom rom with Ginger bread version even though im in Honeycomb official version?
Not without downgrading your hboot
Flyer
so it means i can only install Honeycomb custom ROM unless i will downgrade my hboot, if ever i downgrade my hboot, both HC and GB I can install?
by the way thanks for the info.
Just check out kevinrocksman multi toolkit
I would rather use telepathy but I'm stuck in a Dark Age.
thanks for the info i'll try to google it,and one more thing, can anyone tell me what is the latest hboot for honeycomb? sorry just a noob for this kind
He has Flyer not View.
To run HC u need HC hboot. To run GB u need GB hboot. So whenever u want to migrate from one to another u not onlly need to change rom but Hboot as well.
To perma root it u have 2 choices Soff method via revolutionary or HTC unlock.

Thank you so much for the guide, I will follow what you instructed, One more question, if ever there's a tendency to brick it, is it easy also to unbrick the device? Actually this is the first time i will root a device, my evo3d was rooted by my friend and he is out there to help me. Thanks again for your kind help
I seen people being stuck at diferent steps/results and i belive most were resolved by experienced ppl on this forum (points at globathron for example)
Sorry my bad I've been stuck w no hboot on the View all day lost focus.
