1. make a full nandroid backup
2.download the recovery image
3.turn off your phone and turn on by pressing the on button+the back key (to get into bootloader)
4.open a terminal from the folder which contains the recovery image.
5. type 'fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img'
6.type 'adb shell mount /sdcard'
7.type 'adb push cm-hero-recovery.img /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img'
8.type 'adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img'
now whenever you want to access the recovery console, you just have to switch your phone on+home key and u'll enter.
To install the rom,
9. download the radio and rom from modaco
10. plug in ur usb and mount sd card
11. copy radio into sd card and rename to update.zip.
12. switch off phone and enter recovery console
13.if you never upgraded the phn , then a wipe is necessary
14. then, select update.zip..
15. u repeat the steps from step9 onwards the same way to update the rom.
hope ie helped.
i mentioned nandroid backup as from step 1 itself.
just came to realise that maybe u have never accessed recovery image from pc.
well dont worry, u can ignore step one but be sure to make the backup after step 8 ..... before installing the new rom
cheers and good luck

As far as I can see, you opened the command-line in the system32 dir from youre PC?! You should open the commandline in the dir where the image-file is. Should look like C:\SDK\tools

You will need to install HTC sync cause it contains the drivers for you phone.
Okay so I have put HTC sync back on. My hero connects to the sync in normal mode as an android USB devices - My HTC . What I'm unsure of now is when I press 'on and back buttons to go into bootloader' should the hero still sync as My HTC or should it be syncing to a different driver. I have been going round in circles all day. I have also removed the android development software as before the hero was syncing as and adb device??
When going to the cdm I now get the error device not found. USB debugging is selected on my device.
I think I’m on the brink of giving up.
okay so now when I'm in the bootloader my device connects as a ADB Interface - HTC Bootloader.
BTW I'm on Vista and i selected the driver that was in x86 folder that I was advised to download. However still no device found

Yes if your device is recognised as adb ... it's good.
That's how it should be.
Try installing HTC sync before plugging ur phone, then enter bootloader on the phn, plug it in, and then perform the command from the prompt.
P.s try entering bootloader first and only afterwards u plug in ur phone
Try to get the latest driver HTC sync from HTC site. If that doesnt work, try downloading the latest sdk plus drivers. U can find it somewhere on the forum . I think that there is a link on the rooting guide by daysee
I'm a total noob at Android too but theunlockr.com was the easiest and fastest way for me to install the custom Modacco ROM. Check out their site; it'll show you step by step with videos :]

My EVO 3D GSM : Hboot 1.49.0012,
it also doesnt support
Come on guys it clearly states in the title the hboot support.....
The extra versions will be added when I discover the support or method of unlocking...
Until then bootloader can be unlocked via HTCdev.com
(This does not unlock nand) = only good for root after loading clock work not ROM flashing as phone is left S-ON
So for all that has an hboot that is not supported can't install any ROM? Is that it? If so that sure saves me
A lot of spare time and headache.
Thanks and see you guys soon.

How Do I Know If My Device Is S-ON Or S-OFF?
That is easy to verify. Simply boot into HBOOT on your device (Volume + Dwn) with fastboot off, and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.
S-OFF – What And Why?
In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.
Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.
what aah ok
Thanks a million for the guide. Im getting my phone delivered so should have my baby in the morning and then I can get straight to sorting it out thanks to this guide.

By the sounds of things your phone hasn't properly flashed clockwork..
Try steps 4 - 14 again and let me know if any error messages pop up...
If you have previously been successful the revolutionary.exe will tell you that your phone is already s-off and ask to flash clock work... select the letter y and enter and then try to flash it again...
If any other messages pop up can you post them back here?
I've just updated the guide for fixing the triangled bootloader in the event that clockwork does not flash....
Please try this and let me know how you go .
Also what is your hboot version?
Make sure when you have command prompt over it is all set to run as administrator...
Will the phone access (power + vol dwn) from power?
Ah crap, well I got my phone delivered this morning, loving it. Sadly my bootloader isnt unlockable yet so ill keep an eye on this thread. Thanks
sorry found other thread. thanks again.

Hello happyhallsy8
I got some problems trying to unlock en root my evo 3d gsm.
first off all my computer dont let me install HTC driver at all when i try to install it just dissapear after i click install.
The second problem is at step 7 when i start revolutionary.exe as administrator it opens and shut down again.
I download and installed it over and over again but wont work.
Do you know what this could be?
Greetings Louis
I don't seem to know whats going on there mate but they drivers should be installed... check your program menu for the HTC folder... if its there its most likely been installed.
In terms of revolutionary.exe it should open and stay open wether the phone is connected or not... try redownloading and give it a shot again?

[Q] How to root HTC Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000?

Hi!
I'm an unhappy owner of HTC Legend with Android 2.2 and HBoot 1.01.0000. I tried to root and S-OFF my device, but I can't do that. I spent a lot of time to find a solution of my problem.
How to root and S-OFF HTC Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000?
My English is not very good, but I understand everything I see.
Greetings.
1st you can't s-off hboot 1.01
Just goto htcdev website, register, and carefully follow ALL directions to unlock your bootloader for HTC legend, this is all you really need.
You will also need to read up about how to flash custom recovery and flash custom Rom.

I also try to root my Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000 so i thought it would be better to unite instead of starting a new thread.
I am facing the problem that the device is not recognized when i am in the bootloader (power button + volume down).
When the Android it boot up normally the devices is recognized.
Code:
adb devices
The same problem occur when i try to update HBoot to 1.02.
I tried this on my Windows 8 x64 PC, i did read more people have problems with Windows 8. Te be sure it isn't Windows 8 i did download a live cd of ubuntu 12.04lts and installed the ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
After this i connect my Legend with android loaded. And the phone is recognized.
Code:
adb devices
When i go to the bootloader the phone is not recognized.
Anyone who could help me out?
Have you got debugging turned on on your phone? Have you got your drivers correctly installed? (check via device manager on windows 8 p.s, don't ask where or how cause I will never use windows 8!)
You may need android v1 drivers too, I dont know...
At the end of the day I reckon it's all down to win 8 issue.
What about the cable your using, it's not stuffed is it?

I am using a USB 2.0 port. And i HTC Sync 3.3.53
HTC BMP USB Driver 1.0.5375 (64-Bit)
HTC Driver Installer 4.1.0.001
If i have HTC Sync installed, the device is showing up in the device manager: Android USB Devices > My HTC
When i do not have HTC Sync installed, i see it also appear under device manager: ADB Bootloader > HTC Bootloader
Both give the same error: (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
When i update the driver (Android 1.0) i get the message: The best driver is already installed.
USB debugging is enabled.
Edit:
I think i found the problem, i used the USB 2.0 port from the front of the case, which also has USB 3.0.
Now i tried a 2.0 port directly on my motherboard and i see it coming up without a problem. I however did try that before without succes, i already did read about USB 3.0 problem.
It looks like i first need to update HBoot before i am able to get this token:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.008s
When i download a HBOOT i get the message i first need to upgrade to at least: 3.15.405.3 but i am running 3.15.405.7
Now i am on my Macbook Pro.
Downloaded the Google Android SDK for mac, and copied it to my home folder.
I still get the damn error:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
When i change to bootloader and do:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
nothing is showing up.
And when i boot up the HTC legend normally. And attach the USB cable (charge only)
And do:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
HT06NNX00571 device
So this is exactly the same as what happend on my Windows 8 PC.
If I remember correctly you can't use adb from bootloader anyway, only fastboot.
I suggest using blay0s method by extracting the Rom.zip from the exe this is done by running the ruu, letting it extract its temp files, then do a harddrive search for Rom.zip you have to include hidden and system folders in the search it will be in a temp folder some where.
Copy the Rom.zip to another folder them rename it to LEGEIMG.ZIP I think it is, copy it to the root of the sdcard from your phone then turn on phone with vol down and power, the bootloader should find it and ask to install.

Still no luck. I found the howto of blay0s.
I have tried this versions:
PB7610000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R.exe
PB7610000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R2.exe
PB7611000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R.exe
It does not ask me to upgrade the bootloader Or as explained in post 74 it will upgrade automatically and ask to reboot.
Edit:
Finally it did ask me. Problem is the SD card needed to be FAT32 instead of FAT.

Anyone know if this is compatible with Windows 8.1? Not working for me so far, but maybe its just my setup.
NVM - Updated adb version, and then the phone asked to accept the connection, and voila
For some reason the toolkit won't flash the recovery to my device. it tries to, but it gets stuck. i let it for for 22 minutes and it's still not finished. i don't want to unplug it but i don't think it's going to finish at this point. I'm also getting my stock recovery is busted at this point, no?
