After reading the comments from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614304, I decide to root my phone today.
I followed the tutorial on HTC dev to unlock hboot1.2, then downloaded HTC supertool v3, did prep and root, and it appeared the rooting was successful. I installed [Root Checker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) and it confirms that my phone is rooted. Then I went ahead installing ROMManager, from it, installed Clockwork Recovery, granted superuser permission, put CM7.1 ROM on the sdcard, reboot into recovery, met red triangle with exclamation mark, held power+vol_up, get the system recovery <3e> menu, tried to apply sdcard:update.zip (which is the recovery image for Clockwork recovery), but it complained "failed to verify whole-file signature"...
Have been stuck for a few hours, after much googling and retrying, not much luck...I wonder if the phone is rooted after all? Someone here suggested HTC supertool (which I used) but I didn't see Legend being one of the supported models. Also, all the rooting tools download links I found aren't valid any more.
Help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I think the rooting is successful. I installed a few root only apps from the Play store and they all worked.
Hi,
I faced the same sort of problem when I rooted and wanted to install CWM. My solution was to manually flash the recovery img file using adb. I'm on my phone now so its hard for me to get the link but if you search for the HTC Legend Cyanogenmod Wiki page there are instructions on how to do this
Sent from my Legend using XDA
If you've used htcdev to unlock you CANNOT use update zip, to go into clockworkmod recovery, You have to use the s-off method. This has been covered many times now esspecialy in the hboot 1.02 thread.
Just as a point of note, you can't flash recovery from the clockwork mod app, you have to do it manually via s-off method.

just put cwm recovery img in the same andriod folder that u use to unlock bootloader via fastboot and use fastboot to push recovery img and after that use cwm to install superuser zip from sd card, install titatium backup, it will say u are not rooted don't worry press 'problem' i TB and it will install busybox for u . that's it .Now u are rooted with cwm u can flash anything u want. Hope this hekps.
here's the link/instruction for the clockworkmod image to flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841
as it was already said, use the s-off method

No, actually you don't just push recovery.img file you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img too other wise you can't boot into custom recovery.
please check the official clockword mod recovery thread for the compleat, correct method and command line string.

So I used fastboot to push cwm recovery and everything worked. I had the impression that i need s-off before doing that but it was fine with s-on. I flashed cm7.1 and now i'm typing this reply on my "brand new" legend. It gave the old phone so much life!
Thanks everyone for helping

What it sounds like you are doing is pushing the update.zip to the SD card, this ONLY works with locked s-on bootloader what the op is talking about is hboot 1.02 s-on with unlocked bootloader, this is basically s-off function, bootloader will not load the update.zip file.

I have read all the instructions... Got root access also, installed clockworkMod recovery via the manual installation (s-off) method.. It is installed i can navigate through the clockworkMod recovery menu. However, pressing the power button to select a option brings me to a next page... No options, first i thought it was doing its job (wipe cach) however after a few moments i pushed the power button and i was in the main menu again. Also the reboot option or power off option it brings me to a triangle with mark and nothing...
Can anyone help me with this one?

Hi I've been doin a lot of reading of this forum. My main question is can I install a no sense hc Rom from just performing an HTC unlock or do I need to downgrade to gb anyway in which case I may aswel go s off while I'm at it.
I'm running hc official ota
There is no true no sense rom available as of yet
ok but if i just used the htc unlock could i then easily flash the new virtuous rom which has just started been developed?
Problem is i cant find the correct ruu to downgrade my device, its a uk 16gb wifi . I thought id found it but the site wont let me download.
You should be able to flash clockwork, then a custom ROM through fastboot without downgrade and root.
Haven't done it myself, but that is my understanding of how the unlocked bootloader works versus real S-Off.
I managed to do this hardware unlock and now have an unlocked bootloader. Tried. To flash cwm and corrupted the recovery. How do you install CWM through fastboot?

You have get CWM recovery, go into fastboot, connect USB, and then install via command prompt.
If you are unaware of how to do this try installing recovery via Rom Manager. Might be your easier solution.
Thanks for the reply, I actually downloaded cwm from a post in the dev section. Flashed it through command line with fastboot and now when I boot from recovery the device is stuck on a white HTC screen.
Also tried to use Rom manager but the device has to be rooted first. Can you root it through fastboot without cwm? Can I get a download link for a working cwm?

I've just unlocked my rezound and i'm trying to root via my mac. i downloaded the amonra recovery and put it in my android folder. i've got my phone rebooted and i'm in the fastboot usb menu. i have bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down as options.
a little help?
maybe i'm just not meant to root my phone :-(
On mine the command was ./fastboot recovery recovery.img as long as you are in fastboot in the bootloader.

Since you're in fastboot usb, make sure the recovery image is in the android tools folder containing fastboot.exe. The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes and recovery.img being the name of the image file you put in your android tools folder.

alright, got amonra installed with the right path and all, went to dev options, installed su & superuser, rebooted, i see superuser, but NOTHING is getting root access.... titanium backup, file explorer... nothing.
so, i don't think it's really rooted. sigh.

Have you rebooted since rooting through Amon and installing SU? If that doesn't solve it, installing one of the rooted ROMs should.

I would prefer ICS.
I would read up on BAMF ICS or Cleanrom ICS and follow the steps to flash as long as you are on the new firmware. There are others but those are the ones that I've tried I'm currently on BAMF.
BAMF looks more straightforward. waiting for a response on a question over there.
What did you need to know?
it *appears* that i'm ready to flash. there are two files that i've downloaded. one is a rom, the other a kernal. i'm trying to figure out which is which and what my next steps are.
here are the instructions, and i'm wondering how important the nandroid backup is, since i'm basically starting fresh.
Download rom file and PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip to "PH98IMG.zip" without the quotes
Place both files on external SD card and reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system
Flash the rom through the "Flash Zip Menu" in recovery
From main recovery screen, choose "Developer Menu"
Select "Reboot to Bootloader" from the developer menu
Phone will reboot to hboot, you may have to select bootloader from hboot screen
Bootloader will load the PH98IMG.zip, select "Yes" to update.
Rock on with your bad self and reboot system
The one with BAMF in the title is typically the Rom and the kernel would either be oldfirmwarepeople.zip or newfirmwarepeople.zip this file has to be renamed as PH98IMG.zip and place on the ext sd card. Then in amon-ra wipe everything and flash the rom zip then from the developer menu boot into bootloader and let it apply the kernel update then it will reboot then profit.
do you see any issues with following the directions above?
Hello Guys, I hope to be in the right section...I have a problem with my HTC Rezound. Few months ago I unlocked the boot thought HTCDEV and I install Amon Ra Recovery 3.13 and after 3.15 and so ever since I was able to flash ROMs etc.
Yesterday I downloaded a new ROM after I did a full erase through the recovery... the installation was fine but when I turn on the device it was stuck on a black screen.
So with adb I tried to flash the room with fastboot on the terminal of my pc... I tried a million of times but after a while I always get the same message:
installing boot
image error (Boot Magic check failed)
I tried to erese the recovery or to install a new kernel or boot etc... nothing worked so far...
What can I do ????
Thanks
What ROM are you trying to flash?
Can't flash a ROM in fastboot
Take the battery out and put it back in, hold down volume rocker and press power..then select "recovery" from the hboot menu.

Yep yep, also if you are trying to flash BAMF ROM you have to do put the PH98IMG.zip manually in the sdcard its not automated like scott's or bored's (unless this has changed)
didn't work
I was tryng to flash a rom from scott's clean rom and it didn't work...after I downloaded pretty much all the rom that I could find and none of them worked...
also that the rom that I use to flash in the past don't work anymore...
I pulled out the battery... i went through the recovery HBoot etc...but none of them worked
right now I'm hopeless

when you say "update manually" do you mean try and push the file? If so it cannot be done this way. Just upload the ROM on a different sd card and see if that works

sorry by manually I was meaning through the terminal with my pc...
I tried to switch sd card my nothing happened

You can't install a ROM using fastboot and ADB commands, it has to be done through recovery.
Each ROM is a specifically formatted update zip file. It has the files for the ROM, plus an update script/update binary. Recovery knows what to do with this because it was designed to use these. Fastboot, is far more generic, and will only flash files packages in the .img format. These files are meant to replace entire partitions.
My suggestion would be to try to re-flash your recovery from fastboot and see if you can gain access to the recovery.
My phone has been unlocked via HTCDev. I have Hboot 1.02. It is showing 'Unlocked' in purple in the boot screen.
I ran HTC Super Tool V3 options 1 (passed all steps successfully) and 3. I did receive message 'Rooted'.
I have checked if this was correct by typing command 'su' in adb shell. I received message 'permission denied'.
When I try to flash update-cm-7.1.0-Legend-signed.zip from SD card in ROM Manager v5.0.0.6 I get 'An error occurred while attempting to run priviliged commands!'
What do I do wrong?
After root try to open titanium backup then fix permission of su.
Then flash the recovery in fast boot mode.then restart in recovery mode with rom manager. Flash a new rom through recovery

Like I mentioned I have already run HTC Super Tool V3.
HTC Super Tool says I have root, but it just isn't rooted.
What about using the s-off method to flash CWM?

I used recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img though boot screen is still showing S-ON.
I managed to flash update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Legend-signed.zip. It's rooted, didn't have to do anything extra to root my phone.

HI EVERYBODY,
Today i wanna introuduce my first filekit for rooting htc amaze 4g,
It is easy and needs only clicks instead of writing commands and reading different sites and downloading files from different sites it's all in one,
so follow the guide carefully!
<<<<<<I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE YOU MAKE OR FOR ANY BRIKED DEVICES!>>>>>>>

STEP 2>> go into my filekit select data folder>install htc drivers.
STEP 3>> connect your pc to phone with usb cable then in data folder slect reboot into bootloader when you get into bootloader so use volume keys to navigate and
power key to select,you should be connected with usb cable between your phone and pc you will see written fastboot usb highlited with red if you cannot see
so select fastboot written in the bootloader menu so when you see fastboot usb in red colour, then select token id windows batch file present in data folder of my

THEN YOU WILL GET 4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP SO SEND IT TO YOUR SD CARD THEN BOOT YOUR PHONE INTO BOOTLOADER USE THE
REBOOT INTO BOOTLOADER FILE FROM MY FILEKIT>DATA AFTER THAT NAVIGATE TO RECOVERY AND SELECT
4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP AFTER IT FLASHES SUCESSFULLY REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM OR REBOOT RECOVERY SO THEN
NEW RECOVERY WILL BE SEEN..
ALL GUIDES AND FILES ARE AVAILABILE IN THE ZIP..
EXCEPT 4EXT!

Yes the problem is that you need to flash boot.img from bootloader or for easily flashing roms from recovery ,use 4ext recovery...
Just flash this recovery from an app at play store or xda named 4ext recovery control this will work only if phone is booting or if the phone is not booting so search 4ext recovery.img or .zip on xda and flash it in your current recovery and reboot your recovery...you would now be able to get in new recovery now before flashing roms you need to enable 4ext smart flash,which is available inside tools options in 4ext recovery once you had enabled smart flash start flashing roms and they would boot...but NOTE: when ever you are flashing roms always check that is 4ext smart flash enabled or not ,you need to enable it in order to boot new roms and always make an Nandroid backup...
Happy flashing and don't forget to hit thanks

And please tell me that you're currently on CWM recovery or anyother...
Well CWM recovery is included in the package so hoping you're on custom recovery..
The only solution for your problem is that your phone should be ICS 4.0.3 updated and you should have 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled...
Or other solution is perform S-OFF..which is very hard,because of the wire trick!

I assume that you are on ginger bread with old bootloader,so try CM7 or older roms that might work on your device,for flashing ICS and JB newer roms you will need to be on latest bootloader which you can get after updating your phone to ICS(official)..
if you are having unbranded HTC Amaze Ruby then you need to S-OFF or if you are having Branded i.e T-Mobile or any other just flash the RUU from boot loader....:victory:

ok, so I did all the above, I also installed an update:
You MUST flash the ICS firmware update when coming from a GINGERBREAD ROM before flashing Viper Amaze
Place the PH85IMG.zip in the root of your
EXTERNAL SDCARD and boot into bootloader
This will update your radio
to 1.15.550L.08D _30.80.550L. 16D
and HBOOT to 1.93.2222
I did the above, installed the Viper Amaze 1.7.2.3 official, and it worked!!!!
thanks again for your help and patient, thank you
