Alright got my butterfly
I know this is the DNA forum but they have similar structures right
I'll ask this question again if no answers are found here
& once it gets its own forum
But...
All I want is superuser access
No bootloader unlocking
No custom roms or kernels
For now that is
So is it possible?
I'm coming from an x10i
There we had a program called flashtool which did everything on the click of a button
Like root it without unlocking bootloader
& install custom kernels & flash stock images
Do we have a similar program here?
I've seen jcases method but my device is just a few days old & don't want to risk bricking it

If you want to root it(and have superuser access) you must unlock the bootloader.

My friend told me that if you 'S-OFF' your phone, don't think he said only on the HTC Amaze, but it will remove the 4G and will only give Edge connection. Is that true? And what are the Pros and Cons for having your phone S-OFF'd?
Your friend is misinformed. If someone was to S-Off Your phone without your knowledge you'd never know.

can you please provide me a link on as how to turn s off? and also do you lose the screen ring unlock feature when you do s-off?
Under development there's a sticky. And s=off has no visible effect. It is just for development purpose it alone won't cause anything to be different visually

Take out your battery and then turn your phone back on holding down the power and volunme down buttons. This will load up the bootloader screen where it will either say "s-on or s-off" and will say "locked or unlocked". The locked/unlocked refers to the bootloader

to s-off the phone just means to make "ALL" files on the phone rewritable so the phone can n be fully modified in any way shape or form.. and if you supercid your phone you will be able to flash stock roms from any carrier, as for how to s-off your phone i suggest using the toolkit by hasoon found here

see if you can find yourself a detoxed RUU, either that or you can root your phone and use titanium backup to uninstall the bloatware you don't want
I did as you said. Now I have unlocked bootloader with twrp and rooted. I made a full backup through recovery. I have s-on. If I do messup can I simply use twrp to restore? Secondly if I want custom roms installed I need to s-off the phone or also supercid?

You don't need to be s-offed to flash a custom rom.But it is better if you can s-off.

Why is it better? And do I need to be supercid?
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
first off stop everything your doing, you NEED 4EXT recovery for all HTC phones, it was specially built for HTC phones since they only work on HTC phones.. and it has a Smart Flash feature that allows you to successfully flash rom's while S-ON, S-OFF lets you re-write system files with full access.. before htc released the Unlock Bootloader codes it was the only way to flash a rom properly.. and SuperCID lets you change the Carrier ID to Blank so this way you'll be able to restore any RUU from any carrier if your trying to flash back to stock... but it seems like you want to flash a rom so just Flash 4EXT and make sure smart flash is enabled and find a guide or watch a youtube video on how to do a full wipe and flash your ROM... or if you dont want to do a full wipe look for android revolution HD and download the superwipe script and flash that before you flash your ROM
Pros:
1. Able to flash kernels (aka boot.IMG) without using 4EXT Recovery ..but I use 4EXT because madmaxx is an evil genius!!
2. Able to supercid. That means you can change your Carrier Identification and will be able to flash different carriers RUU.
3. Able to SIM Unlock without the need to ask your carrier for the unlock code.
4. Change your Splash Screen. That is the first screen that pops up when you reboot. Then its the bootanimation that comes after.
Cons:
1. Just the attempt to S-Off is stressfull. If you're not patient or not confident or can't comprehend what it is you're reading or watching then do not attempt it. You can end up with an expensive paperweight if you don't know how to recover from something so basic.
2. Another Con. If you do something so stupid and mess with the system partitions then chances are it can end up as a brick also. Only heard of one instance that happened. And it was about a year ago.
Can't think of anything else. But I too would change the recovery. You might not be able to charge your phone if it goes dead because I'm not sure if TWRP supports charging while off. Good luck.
Can I just use hansoon tool yo change recovery? Or is there a speical way as I have twrp?

I use the paid app. But you can use the Hasoons Tool. Mind you that its not the most up to date recovery and 4EXT has been updated atleast a dozen times since then.

Hi I'm rlly new to android... Just switched from iPhone to htc desire x 2 days ago. Anyway, I iv been doing my research and had a few questions-
If I flash a custom rom, how do I go back to factory settings and stock rom?
If I get a custom recovery like clockworkmod, how do I get my stock recovery back-is it just reflashing the ruu?
How do I unlock the bootloader without htc dev, I don't want to void my warranty
How do I take a backup of my stock rom? - if I mess up then how do I use the backup to restore to factory settings?

To install a custom recovery you need to unlock the bootloader on your phone. Once unlocked it can only be relocked with a sign 'RELOCKED' on top of bootloder. Plus HTC has records about users that requested unlock code for their devices. However unlocking of bootloder doesn't deny your warranty but HTC can always claim that malfunction came as a result of your usage.
It's easy to unlock bootloader kust follow the steps on htcdev.com.
To fully return back to stock you just need to flash RUU (Rom Update Utility) that can be obtained here on forum.
You can make a backup of stock rom from custom recovery you flash after unlocking.
Thx for the info, was quite useful, was wondering if there is a official version of cwm for desire x?

Go to Cyanogen Mod official website ... You can get a whole lot information there... !!! its is the only rom which is providing jellybean 4.1.2 on AMAZE 4g
Please read the "pinned" threads located at the top of the various forums. All of the info you seek is located there. The brief reader's digest version is as follows: You need to download and have a working adb setup. You also need some drivers from the HTC website. While there you need to register as a developer and follow the instructions. If followed correctly they'll give you a binary blob that you need to push to your phone from windows to unlock your bootloader. You'll still be s-on but unlocked. Then depending on which version of the amaze you have and which version of android is currently running on it there are different procedures for attaining s-off, which is a requirement if using a non-T-Mobile US device. After you've gotten those things in order you can begin flashing.
None of this is difficult, but it does require reading on your part, and nobody here is going to hold your hand, especially if they see you haven't made any effort by at least reading the instruction threads.
Just flash the SuperSU.zip file via recovery. For some customs roms, you won't need to root your phone before flashing, your phone will automatically get root access one you flash them. All you will need is having a custom recovery .

Actually you're not quite on point. Without unlocking your bootloader you can't flash a recovery and smartflash on 4ext doesn't work properly without a working busybox and superuser. So after unlocking and flashing or pushing a superuser apk you need to also install busybox too or smartflash can't write to the protected partitions.
I think everyone knows they cannot flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader first.

LOL you'd be surprised what kind of questions get asked here and how often the same ones are repeated, especially in this forum where newbies can post until eligible for the other forums. Look and see how many threads and individual posts are here, the vast majority are the same basic questions asked over and over by those who've never bothered to read the information posts pinned to top of each forum.

Hi,
I installed Custom ROM with an idea that it will improve my phone performance but hell i am seeing sluggish performance in some of the basic phone functionalites like contact searching
I didnt back up my stock rom when i rooted the phone and hence i request you to please share me the WORKING link of HTC Legend Stock ROM (Doesnt matter what android version it has 2.1 or 2.2)
I am fine with it
Thank you in advance
If you want rooted stock then I suggest looking in the dev section there are lots of roms, try using blay0s froyo b0.8.4 it's basically stock with quite a few improvements.
If you want completely stock Rom and no more root goto
http://www.shipped-roms.com and download the correct region for your location they are windows exe files, all you need is USB drivers I believe, from memory HTC sync is all you need.
