Is simply straight forward. I have to create new thread bcoz i can see many frens asking about this in various thread.
Unlock (HTC Method may void warranty, i dont care ) + CWM = Can flash any custom rom
[1] register @ htcdev [dot] com
[2] just follow on-screen instruction until successfully boot with unlocked bootloader
now the important part : (u can use4EXT Recovery Touch (the best. recommended) or Revolutionary custom CWM recovery image)
[3a] 4EXT Recovery Touch (THE BEST) See HERE for more info.
[3b] Revolutionary CWM
(i) download Revolutionary shutteru CWM recovery from here
(ii) reboot device in bootloader mode > fastboot > plug in usb cable until u see FASTBOOT USB on device screen
(iii) now in adb type : fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img
(iv) Done.
[4] To root stock rom,
(i) download Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and copy to sdcard
(ii) reboot to recovery mode
(iii) select install zip frm sdcard > choose zip frm sdcard > select zip file as in (i) step above > proceed to flash.
Now device is Bootloader Unlocked + CWM recovery + S-ON & ready to flash custom rom.
excellent!!! i did it this morning and about to write the tutorial. good you come up with this 1st. thanks for that.
i can confirm that this is working
cheers.

Relock the bootloader,first，
then ,you can flash rom sihp!!!!
OK, I got mine working. Weird thing was the first time I tried to install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, I got an error (Status 0, I believe.. no idea what that means). Re-locked my phone, and unlocked it again and the second time around, it installs just fine.
Now, I can finally use Market Enabler!

Thanks for the instructions.
Was wondering if there was any way to get S-OFF using th HTC Unlock Method?
All the custom ROMs here will have Wifi Error if not using the ASIAN built

I managed to unlock htc do not understand how to run the adb. Someone could explain it in detail. Sdk install all packages, when I run the adb is closed. help
I also have a question, what's the difference between S-OFF and S-ON? I unlocked my phone the revolutionary way so I guess I'm S-OFF but I don't get what's the difference, in both case you can flash anything you want?

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.
Help
To step 4 so good, but I can not get to run the adb, someone could guide me, I am eager to put another rom. Thank you.
Check you have usb debugging enabled.
Google the android sdk and download.
Extract it to somewhere.
Connect the phone and run Adb commands from the command prompt in windows after changing directory to the tools folder in the folder you just extracted.

Sorry for my stupidity. It may be more graphic.
I'm with the sdk package you extracted to a folder on my desktop when I run adb opens and closes just a black window, then do not like running the flash file recovery fasboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img. I need someone to do it step by step slower. From cmd not to put.
it works on HBoot 1.49.0009.
also when you install rom manager u can change the recovery to lastest ver.
it's still S-On but its rooted

Please read the instructions completely and carefully before you attempt anything.
Disclaimer:
What ever you do with your device is your own responsibility. In no way shall I, any other member of XDA or HTC, be held responsible in case you brick, destroy your device or even cause any bodily injury to you, by following these instructions

Before you start meddling with your device, please read, search XDA for related information, use wiki.
Those people who are trying to gain S-off to flash ICS ROMs with sense 4.0... You do not have to flash the new firmware as a compulsion. The older Radio works well with the sense 4 ROMs. It is not an absolute necessity to upgrade the firmware. You can skip that. And you can flash any ROM in 4ext touch recovery even with S-ON. Proceed to S-off only if you accept the risks of bricking your device completely without any possibility of recovering it again. And also keep in mind, you will lose all your personal data on the device by following these instructions.
Resources:
1. Windows running computer(PC).
2. HTC EVO 3D android smartphone.
3. USB cable that came with your Evo 3D.
4. Micro SD card with adequate space in it.(At least 4 GB)
5. Basic computer knowledge of how to open a command prompt and how to run commands in command prompt.
6. 7z / winrar archiver.
Prerequisites for doing anything with your device.
1. Download and install the HTC drivers.
(You can get this from HERE)
2. Unlock your device the htcdev way. Visit http://www.htcdev.com and follow the instructions.
You can take a preview of all the steps in attached zip below.
3. Read this post by flashmaniac, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22494488&postcount=1
4. Read this post by happyhallsy8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17233858&postcount=1
5. Uninstall the HTC sync application from your computer.
6. Download the adb and fastboot files attached below in fastboot-cmd.rar and extract this to the root of the C drive on your computer and rename the folder to Android.
You need to understand a few important terminologies before going forward:
1. Root: It is the basic file system of the android operating system on your device. This has all the important files and programs and drivers which make your device run. And to access this you need to have administrator privileges. Which is obtained by flashing a custom rom which gives you administrator privileges by default, or you need to flash superuser from a custom recovery and then install busy box.
2. Custome ROM: It is an installable zip archive which contains all essential programs and files found in the operating system released for your device by the manufacturer with some modifications so as to enhance the functionality according each individuals taste.
3. RUU/shipped ROM: RUU is an executable which re-installs the original manufacturer released version of the ROM onto your device.
4. Bootloader: It is the part of the firmware which resides in your device which runs the most basic function of starting the device and switches the control to the operating system once the bootstrap of the operating system has loaded on.
5. Locked bootloader: The device manufactures lock this firmware so that your device does not fail to boot and bad programs don't ruin the essential files.
6. adb: A program which can control your device when your device is connected to the computer through a USB cable.
7. cid: This is your manufacturer provided general hardware/firmware id.
8. Serial number: Unique identification number of your device.
9. Unlocking: Unlocking your device the HTCDEV way gives you ability to flash custom ROMS which are not authenticated by HTC and it does not enable you to flash custom kernels on to your devices.
10: Kernels: These are the files that determine how your device perfomes, so if you do not intend to meddle with your kernels, all you will ever need is unlocking the HTCDEV way
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you just want to flash a new ROM you do not need to s-off your device
S-off is required only to flash custom kernels
The instructions for each different procedure are posted in a new post.
Continued in the next post.
Getting started... Up to flashing a rooted custom ROM
Now lets get started.
1. Unlock your device HTCDEV way. There are ways in which you can achieve S-OFF without unlocking your device first. Search for them in the forum. Unlocking HTCdev way has been shown to be consistently successful.
By unlocking HTCDEV way, you will loose all your personal data from your device, so please make a nandroid backup before doing this.
Also use any of the apps and contacts backup and restore apps available in the market and restore all your messages, contacts, apps and settings.
2. Download Clockworkmod recovery by clockworkmod. This tool is essential to flash any custom ROM. Copy this file to your adb folder on your cumputer, That is c:\android.
3. Download a fully rooted custom ROM like one from LeeDroid or any other custom ROM which is rooted.
4. Additionally you can download superuser rooting app.
5. Go to settings in your device, and select applications-->development-->check the USB debugging. Connect your device to your computer by USB cable.
6. Click start and run cmd prompt.
7. Enter the following code
Code:
cd\(Hit Enter button)
cd android(Hit Enter Button)
adb reboot bootloader(Hit Enter button)
The result will look like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Your device will boot into bootloader mode and it will show fastboot USB.
9. Now Enter this code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm_4.0.1.4-shooteru.img
Wait for it to finish.
Once done, reboot your device.
Once rebooted, enter the code:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
You will enter the clockworkmod recovery.
10. Select the option mounts and storage.
next select mount USB storage.
Wait for your computer to recognize and install the driver, now copy and paste the superuser.zip which you downloaded earlier into the sdcard.
Also copy and paste the LeeDroid ROM which you downloaded into the root of your sdcard.
Right click your removable disk on the computer and select eject.
11. Select Unmount in the recovery on your phone. and then select go back.
12. Now on your computer, in the command prompt enter the following code
Code:
adb reboot recovery
13. Your device reboots into the recovery again.
14. Now select install zip from sd card.
then select choose zip.
Then choose the superuser zip and press power button to select.
Reboot the device normally and do the following.
Code:
adb shell (Hit enter, and you will see $, as shown below)
$su(hit enter)
#(Now you have to allow the superuser privileges on your device)
#exit(ENTER)
$exit(ENTER)
c:\Android>adb reboot(hit enter)
once the device is booted into android, visit the google play store, and search for busy box, download it and install, you will have root access.
Now your device is fully rooted.
15. Another way of rooting your phone is by flashing a pre-rooted rom. Download any Gingerbread rom which has been pre-rooted, copy that to your SD card, reboot into CWM recovery and select the rom you downloaded and flash it.
16. If the device gets stuck in the HTC white screen, then follow these steps.
a. Enter the following code in the command prompt.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then go to the folder where you had downloaded the LeeDroid zip, you extract one particular file by the name boot (It is a .img type of file)
Now copy this file to the android folder in C:\ drive (C:\android)
Now in command prompt enter this code.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img(Press enter)
fastboot reboot
You are done flashing a fully rooted custom ROM with latest superuser app.
Means you are fully rooted and unlocked and have a custom recovery through which you can flash any other ROM if you want to.

Downgrading your Hboot
Now that you have unlocked and got rooted, lets get your device S-off.
As I understand, till date this following way has been successful in getting your device HBoot down and achieve S-OFF, Important thing for that is to change your CID to a universal CID, that is HTC__001.
I do not know that MY way will work for every device, you are welcome to try my way, for at least the unbranded devices.
There are two ways of changing your device cid.
1. Through fastboot. Open the command prompt, connect your device by USB cable, check USB debugging is enabled. and enter the following code
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
wait till your device enters bootloader and shows fastboot USB, now enter the following code.
a. For unbranded devices.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem reboot bootloader
Please note that in the cid there are 2 underscores before 001.
b. For branded devices such as Vodafone.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid VODAP001
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot bootloader
You can even change that CID to HTC__001.
Once you have achieved S-OFF you can change your cid back to original.
2. Manually.
For this you need to download xvi32 hex editor from here
Extract this anywhere, run the xvi32 and open mmcblk0p31.img which you had copied to your device sdcard.
Now change the cid as shown in these pictures.
Initial
Changed
Now save the file.
For branded devices.
Initial,
Changed.
Now save the file and exit.
Now go to adb shell and do as shown:
After this you can check your cid and it will show the changed cid and software build number.
You will get best results if you do this before you flash the custom ROM.
Now you can downgrade the Hboot also in two ways, one is automated as demonstrated by flashmaniac in his thread and the other one is manual.
Downgrading flashmaniac's way does not require you to unlock your device the HTCDEV way.
1. Flashmaniac's way.
Download his tool (Makes sure there are step1.exe, step2.exe and step3.exe in the folder).
Extract the entire folder to root of C drive on your computer.
Run step1.exe
If do not get any errors run step2.exe
Then run the step3.exe
Wait for it to flash the European version of RUU onto your device.
This RUU/Rom.zip in the downloaded folder has the Hboot version 1.49.0007.
2. A little bit cumbersome and manual way of doing it,
Download the tools from Flashmaniac's thread. Extract the zip. Copy the mmcblk0p31.img to your sdcard.
Then run this code in adb. (Your device will be booted normally into android and USB debugging mode should be enabled)
Code:
c:\android>adb shell (Hit enter)
#dd if=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 (Hit enter)
You will see copied successfully.
You might face problems here if you are not rooted fully or if your device is still locked.
Then you check the cid and if it shows non workable cid, then write the new cid and relock your device.
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
fastboot getvar cid
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 (or)
fastboot oem writecid VODAP001
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Now boot your device into recovery:
Code:
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
In your computer, from the tool folder downloaded from Flashmanic'c thread, rename the Rom.zip to PG86IMG
Copy this zip to your sdcard by mounting your sdcard in recovery.
Reboot into bootloader.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now check that your device bootloader shows as Relocked.
If it doesn't show Relocked.
Try this method to Relock it.
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO RE-DO THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF HTCDEV WAY OF UNLOCKING AGAIN AT THIS POINT. WORKS 100% OF THE TIME
Accept the disclaimer by HTC and let it reboot.
Now pull the battery, and then reboot into bootloader by pressing volume down button and then pressing the power button.(You should keep the volume down button pressed till you boot into the bootloader)
Now relock your bootloader again.
Code:
fastboot oem lock (hit enter)
fastboot reboot-bootloader(hit enter)
Now your device will start reading the zip then it will check it for a signature and will ask you if you want to flash.
select yes by pressing the volume up button.
Let it finish.
You may see some error in the end, stating fail. Don't worry.
Just reboot your device.
You are done.
Now you have a Hboot version 1.49.007.
CREDITS: IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER,
Clockworkmod, Chad.goodman, Flashmaniac, happyhallsy8, frigid, and many more.
Now Finally to S-OFF
Finally the much awaited S-OFF
The need to do all the above steps was to finally arrive here.
It is essential to make sure that, your device has a Hboot 1.49.007.
The whole point of this tutorial up to here has been this.
There is one way getting S-OFF on your device, that is by using the revolutionary tool.
Visit http://revolutionary.io
Select the appropriate operating system.
The download will start as soon as you click on the operating system shown.
Enable USB debugging mode on your device and connect it to your computer by the USB cable.
Extract the downloaded zip from revolutionary site to your C drive.
Run the revolutionary.exe as administrator.
This will give you your device serial number.
Enter the serial number in the space given on the revolutionary.io site and copy the S-off code generated, and paste it your notepad.
For the revelotutionary tool to work you must have an identifiable software build number on your device (You can change that in mmcblk0p31.img with a hex editor).. Better still just flash the European ROM with Hboot 1.49.007.. This is safer and avoids problems while running the revolutionary tool.
Now type the code in the program.
Hit enter and wait for it to finish.
If something goes wrong, or if it says failed.
Then recheck your device's boot loader is locked.
And try again and again till you succeed.
The second way is just download this supertool by frigid and run it and you are done.
Now your device has been successfully S-OFF.
Reboot your device.
Copy which ever custom ROM you want to your device's sdcard.
copy any kernel you want.
Then flash them using the CWM recovery in the recovery.
Or use the fastboot commands to flash the kernels and ROMs as you like.
Hope This tutorial will benefit all the noobs as well as members who face problems while trying to S-OFF their devices.

Thank you guys.
For warranty issues you can revert back to your original version by following these steps
Visit this thread
Download the appropriate RUU version for your region.
Make sure that you have your original cid written back on your device.
You can do this by entering the following code
Code:
//to check the current cid//
C:\android>fastboot oem getvar cid
//to change the cid//
C:\android>fastboot oem writecid HTC__044
//You must enter your device cid which you wrote down before you changed it//
Repeat these steps two to three times and reboot into bootloader and re_lock your device
Code:
C:\android>fastboot oem lock
Run the .exe and follow the onscreen instructions.
If this does not work, then, RUN THE .EXE FILE and do as described below.
When the RUU asks you accept, minimize the RUU/drag it down.
Start the task manager on your computer, go to processes, look for a process which has a name ARUwizard, right click on that and select go to location.
Now you can see a zip archive called rom.zip
Open that, and find the android-info.txt, extract it or just open it within winrar.
This will contain the cidnumber, note down the cidnum which was similar to your cid number, and note down the software build number.
Now make these changes in the mmcblk0p31.img with the help of xvi32 hex editor, copy back the file to your device in adb.
Instead, if you remember your original cid and software build number, you can write them back.
Please also remember to write the original cid of your device back in fastboot.
Copy that rom.zip to the root of your sd card, and then reboot into bootloader and flash it in bootloader.
Now reboot the device and run the RUU, once done, do the following.
Enter this code in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Remember to lock your device bootloader first, before writing the secureflag 3, If you don't lock the bootloader, you will brick your device.
Code:
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You will see that your bootloader is S-ON and shows RELOCKED.
You are done.
Just in case I fall short of space
Just in case one more
Thanks for this...I already have a custom recovery, and a fully rooted rom...awaiting S-OFF instructions...
I assume that your instructions will work for CID: VODAP021... with HBOOT: 1.49.0013
Thanks
Thanks - Is it worth trying the touch version of Clockworkmod recovery?
also there's no point flashing the superuser.zip and then flashing a rooted rom on top as the superuser.zip would only give root on the current rom - which is then overwritten by the rooted (leeroid) rom
sorry but this post is useless....
how to root is already explained... there are automated recovery flashers... there is an automatically way of gaining s-off.
you destroy the chance that people get the right tutorial on first try...
43D again.... you will never get S-OFF.

this will confuse people. there are plenty of none-working ways. now you add one more....
downgrading only works for the cid's that I listed on my thread...
edit: I see that you are advicing people to change their cid.
It usually does not work
if it is working you cannot lock the bootloader

and what is if you CID is TELST001? right! it is not working and it will never work.
This is just one of a thousand examples.
I tried changing the CID with a guy that has TELST001, it has never worked.
never mind... go on with this.
If I downgrade hboot from 1.49.0018, to 1.49.0007, what I'm losing?

Please provide more information.
* Do you confirm, that you cannot boot in recovery from HBOOT?
* What is your exact HBOOT version? Do you have an "Engineering HBOOT"?
When only fastboot is working then I only see a little chance for your phone when you have an engineering HBOOT.
Best regards,
Catherall
P.S: Seems like you really tortured you helpless Desire Z

Two things are not clear to me:
1) How did you "unlock" you phone, did you use http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ method to get "****Unlocked****" in HBOOT? This is important to know for me.
When you indeed unlocked using http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ method, then you have to install an suitable "boot.img" every time you flash a new ROM.
Otherwise the old boot.img tries to boot the old ROM that was overwritten with the new one you flashed.
2) When you can boot ClockworkMod Recovery then you can connect using adb. Just use adb while booted into your custom recovery.
I really recommend to proper unlock your HTC Desire Z as described in
http://goo.gl/aXNr
The advantage of this method is, that you can flash any custom ROM without the need to flash the kernel of the ROM (boot.img) separately!
ATTENTION: Before doing anything like "fastboot oem lock"
you have to use "misc_version 0.1" and "flashgc". Do not continue without that!
When you do not know how to use that then ask (here or in freenode IRC channel #G2ROOT)!
Then you can go on to downgrade your phone:
[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Please make sure that you follow the steps described under the topic ***If you have used the "official" htcdev.com unlock option***
Then you can gain S-OFF (real unlock) using gfree
If you have questions then come to the awesome freenode IRC channel #G2ROOT.
Best regards,
Catherall
yes i unlocked with htcdev.com,so i will lock it again with "fastboot oem bootlock" command and will try to unlock as your advice.
i am so happy after seeing your advices.and i didn't know that i can use adb shell in recovery.you mean boot in recovery than use adb terminal from pc.ok i check it and try to apply it.and thankyou very much again for your help.
I will tell you results.
Attention
Before using fastboot oem lock make sure that downgrade would work.
Run the commands "misc_version 0.1" and "flashgc" successfully before doing anything like
fastboot oem lock!
Visit freenode IRC channel #G2ROOT
I am not 100% sure what happens on your semi-bricked phone with fastboot oem lock!
Best regards,
Catherall
one more plzz
ok i will make sure but plzzz tell me can i restore officialy stock rom with adb support ( may be with golcard support ) sothat i dont wanna take any risk.no downgrade,no s-off just my previous position.
I went to #G2Root but i didnt understand how talk anybody.i am not familiar on that.again thxx for your attention for me.
P.E : ok i tried adb commands while booted in recovery. adb devices command works and show serial number, but when i command ' adb shell ' got " # " instead " $ " so stuck again need more advice plzzzzzzzzzzzz.how can get " $ "
PLssss Help
i am getting " ~ # " Error in adb shell please helppp....
Options for S-OFF/root or reverting to Stock
Hello klassikkamii,
most custom Recoveries provide root access when you use "adb shell" to connect to them.
So adb shell returns "#" to indicate root access. When you get the prompt "$" then you have access as a user.
I would do the following steps. They allow you to get full S-OFF, Engineering HBOOT and a ROOTed ROM, or if you prefer return to stock ROM.
Returning the latest stock is much easier and safer when you do the following steps to change the internal software version number of the phone an make your SD card a goldcard.
Download misc_version 0.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661216&d=1311237785
Download flashgc:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=819704&d=1324116910
And then use the following procedure to change version number and make a goldcard (as provided by Setherio in his guide [GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo:
1) Unzip misc_version_01.zip and flashgc.zip in the platform-tools directory.
2) Run the following commands from you platform-tools directory:
Code:
adb shell mount /data
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb push flashgc /data/local/tmp/flashgc
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
adb shell
Now you are in the phone shell with root access (indicated by the prompt "#").
Continue with the commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
This should return:
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.00.000.0
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Continue to make you SD card a goldcard:
Code:
./flashgc
Note: If you get the following error, please make sure your sdcard is inserted in your phone: Error opening backup file.
Continue with the command
Code:
sync
Double check that you phone's software version number is set to 1.00.000.0 with the command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 skip=160 count=10
The first line of the command output must be:
1.00.000.010+0 records in
Exit the phone's shell with
Code:
exit
From here you can get an Engineering HBOOT and a custom, rooted ROM, or revert to a stock ROM. Both ways are about the same effort.
Please post how this worked out for you.
Best regards,
Catherall
still stuck
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
Getting Error
failed to copy 'misc_version' to /data/loca/tmp/misc_version :Not a directory
As i am already with "~ #" i try direct command :cd /data/local/tmp
Got Error This :/sbin/sh: cd:can't cd to /data/local/tmp
if i use command for sd card,
adb push misc_version /Sdcard/misc_version
it show size of file or push succed but not in local/tmp.
i think if i would get "$" instead " ~#" May be i can do all u advice me.
Better do it interactive
Hello,
there might be several reasons why the command did not work.
Not having "$" is none of them.
Please come to freenode IRC and login to channel #G2ROOT. Ask for Catherall, I should be there for the next hours. When I am not there then check back later.
Best regards,
Catherall
ok i solved all Puzzle.solution was only use " GoldCard Method".i use command mmc2 instead mmc1 and voilaaaaaa i got my CID then everything was eassy.....in the End i really thanks to Catherall,You help me well...your information was helpfulln from your instructions i got my way thanksssss...

and will be thankful for you
-Unlock the boot loader using HTCDev
-Use HTCSuperTools v3 to gain root access
-Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
-Flash any ROM you want.
These are the basic steps. I might write up an updated, more detailed guide for others when I get back to a computer.

clarify jc36 clockwork recovery mod step
I need to clarify something important for the "Get Clockwork Recovery Mod step which says to follow the 1st step for S-OFF method to install ClockworkRecovery.
On the linked page http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1290841
Where it says the following:
"How to use S-OFF user
Download file and move on adb fastboot folder"
Does "move on adb fastboot folder" mean, put the file into the folder? And if so where is the folder?
There is no such folder: "adb fastboot folder"?
Does it mean:
1. put it in the Android folder created (C:\android) to hold the files instructed by HTC Dev for unlocking the bootloader?
2. Or put it in the android-sdk folder, somewhere? May be the Platform Tools folder where adb.exe exists?
Thanks to anyone who can help clarify this step for me
Yes it means put the recovery into the folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe

Thanks for clarifying that. As you can imagine I am a noob. It would be awesome if the brief procedure by jc36 could be expanded upon into an exact step-by-step (hand-holding) for all the noobs out there. Jumping back and forth between the forum links can get confusing -- especially some of the posts are old... leaving one wonder if the instructions are outdated etc!

Brief is good although I do understand how a noob would want a step-by-step guide. In relation to date, none of the links I gave you were really outdated. The datestamp at the top of the thread might say '6th October 2011, 10:00 AM' but if you look at the bottom of the post it'll say something like 'Last edited by (username); 21st March 2012 at 09:32 AM' on threads/posts that get updated. Welcome to the Legend forums!
Further Clarification
I am continuing with my quest to clarify and document the whole jc36 procedure accurately.
1. After you have unlocked the bootloader are there any mode changes to be made before running SuperTools?
2. After running SuperTools, following the 1st step for S-OFF Clockwork Recovery Mod how do you put the phone into "fastboot" mode? Does the phone have to be disconnected again, powered down, restart with volume held down, highlighting Fastboot then press Power button and reconnecting to computer? Is this the procedure or is there another way while it still connected to the computer?
3. Continueing with Clockwork Recovery Mod code where it says:
"In fastboot mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img"
I'm guessing the code above is for command prompt for the c:\android directory as done previously for HTC Dev unlocking of the bootloader?
Open up command prompt. ( Start> Run> Type CMD,).
Command Prompt: cd c:\Android)
Type in Command Prompt:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img
Correct?
4. After completing Clockwork recovery Mod it says to "Boot into Recovery mode and take a backup of your ROM" -- again do you disconnect the phone to do this and boot into the bootloader to select Recovery mode? And how to you backup? Is it to an SD card or is the phone connected to the computer to take the backup to your hardrive?
Thank you to all in advance who take the time to go over these questions.
1. By mode changes I'm assuming you mean something like enabling USB debugging which is definitely recommended.
2.You get into fastboot mode by rebooting into the bootloader (Hold volume down+trackball+power button). Fastboot is the first selected option so all you have to do is press the power button to choose it and then it will go into fastboot mode
3.Yes in command prompt you navigate to the folder that has adb.exe, fastboot.exe and the recovery image and then carry out those commands
4.If you've flashed a ROM that supports it then in phone options(hold down power button) you can select Reboot and then Recovery. Otherwise to get to recovery you would have to go through the bootloader. To backup you go to Backup and Restore in CWM and select Backup or alternatively you can use ROM Manager to do a backup. The phone doesn't have to be disconnected and the backups are made to the micro SD Card.

run in to trouble at the beginning
I have run into an error with the command provided with HTC Dev Unlock Bootloader.
I have followed all instructions very carefully. When in command prompt I get this error after entering:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
I am in the android directory in c:\android and have the three files there:
adb.exe
adbWinApi.dll
fastboot (which I extracted from an older version of SDK as instructed by HTC because it doesn't exist in the latest SDK software)
Is your phone connected with USB Debugging on and HTC drivers installed on your computer?
bootloader now unlocked successfully
I just flashed the RUU that HTC Dev recommended for my phone, the version it should have before attempting to unlock the bootloader.
My phone originally had this updated version anyway so I never updated it on my first attempt.
After reading the forums here for people having similar issues I flashed their recommended RUU for the Legend and from that point on the command in command prompt worked. I have now unlocked the bootloader ...
what about gapps?
I finally rooted my phone and flashed cm7.2 ROM successfully after some nail biting experiences... it is not as simple as the instructions posted earlier in this forum make it appear... There were some issues I ran into. I will post an explanation of how I resolved them soon.
What good is a new android ROM without essential Google apps? I know they are not packaged due to licensing but I can not find a reasonable explanation of how to get them on my phone. I thought it would be simple but it is not. Right now I can not download any apps...
I read the gapps packages should be installed during the flashing of the ROM... that point is missing from the instructions here! So what now? Do I have to run through the process of flashing the ROM again along with the gapps package this time?
I tried installing the latest Google Play app but it would not connect to the server -- whatever that means -- after entering in my google account.
Is there any way to get the apps downloaded directly to my computer so I can copy them to the SD card? I did find a couple of solutions to do this but you need to enter google account details and some id number for the phone which I can not find... what is the identifier for the phone and where?
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated because at this point the whole new fresh ROM is useless...
You can flash GApps at any time. Whether it's during installation, right after first boot, or years later. Make sure you flash the appropriate .zip.
You can use APK Downloader to get them straight from the Play Store to your computer in .APK format.
http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
All the latest Gapps packages can be found here. Use the 'gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip' package if you're running Gingerbread and 'gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip' if you're running ICS.
I need a bit more help please!
I have had the legend for ages and wanted to breath new life into it. I am using a ssensation as my everyday phone and that was a doddle to root compared to this!
I have gotten as far as flashing recovery. I dl'd the S-OFF .img from here and placed it in my adb folder. I tried running the adb command and only got as far as
"fastboot flash recovery" when
"error: neither -p product specified or ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT set" shows up.
Any help? the HTCdev and Supertools seemed to go flawlessly for me. My HBOOT was 1.01 and HTCdev changed it to 1.02. It also now has *** LOCKED (OOW) *** at the top. I'm still S-ON too. What's going wrong? There is no su app in the app drawer like there was when I rooted my sensation. do I have to start over? any help would be great!

You do see the words "locked"? that means its "locked" you need to follow the steps provided by htcdev in the email they would have sent you including the unlock.bin file with out those steps you can't do anything, its like its still not rooted.

I'm confused. Maybe someone can answer.
He flashed the 2.06 firmware successfully. That will flash a the new hboot, radio and recovery.
Unless he has a custom splash screen, why would RUU'ing fail.
What happens if the 2.06 firmware it's flashed again?
Does it pass the checks?
Nvm: he can't RUU because the hboot has to 1.15.

It's not a signature issue, it's encryption issue. Newer hboots are unable to decrypt the older ruu zip. If you have a "stockish" rom, you can reflash the 2.06 firmware zip. this will flash a signed kernel and recovery and allow the device to _attempt_ to boot to android. If you can get to android, you can then attempt to s-off again.
If moonshine repeatedly fails (don't drink and shine) and also revone repeatedly fails try this:
In moonshine folder you'll see dnashellroot.apk package
1.) adb install dnashellroot.apk
2.) adb shell
3.) am start -n c.fyf/.MainActivity
4.) (wait 10 seconds)
5.) /dev/sh ($ should turn into #)
6.) echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20
^do NOT screw that command up, copy/paste it or risk a brick
7.) exit
8.) exit
9.) adb reboot bootloader
10.) fastboot getvar cid
if it's 22222222, you are good. Proceed to htcdev to unlock, then you can s-off using facepalm.
