Hi.
I just got a new test device, HTC Legend (Europe version) which currently have the newest 3.15.405.3 RUU installed with hboot 1.01
I have been to htvdev.com and downloaded an hboot update in order to be able to unlock the boot loader. However, when I run their RUU, it says that my current ROM is not supported, although the RUU contains the same ROM version as the one that I have installed.
I need some way to unlock this thing, even if I have to some how downgrade hboot in order to get full S-Off using some of the old cracks.
Can anyone help get this thing cracked open, either the htcdev way or some other way. I just need to be able to get a recovery on this thing and some CM ROM.
I have already tried talking to some HTC support people, but they did not know anything.
No questions in development!

I am aware of the rules (Have been around for some time). Properly just clicked on the wrong link, no harm ment, but since you was kind enough to report it, an admin can move it to the correct location.
Yes, I can see you've been around for a long time,
So, lets direct you try blay0's method by extracting the Rom.zip from the ruu and try the LEGEIMG.ZIP
There is a thread in legend some where with the title simular to "legend is free" you should find blay0's post some where, can't post a link right now, sorry...

Thanks I found it, but not working on this one. It does not find LEGEIMG.zip although it is placed in the root of the sdcard
EDIT:
It worked after I created a Goldcard. Now it found the ZIP, it asked to update which it did successfully and the htcdev.com unlock method now worked like a charm. Just to bad that there is no way to downgrade hboot to 0.43 in order to gain real S-Off, but at least it is unlocked now, so thanks

Alright, so I have the White(Radioshack only) HTC Evo 3D.
I've tried everything that's out there to root/unlock/downgrade 1.5 -> 1.4
Nothing is working, so my biggest question is <insert title name here>.
I don't mean to be a huge NOOB. But seriously, is it different? I can't manage to do..well..anything at this point, I absolutely LOATHE the stock rom on here, and can't find any way to get away from it.
Any help would be lovely!
PS: I would have posted in development, and just asked for help rooting my phone here, but I can't as I'm a newbie on these forums.

If u don't mind the HTC Unlock, have u looked at my hboot 1.50 guide (in my signature)?
And you've already tried unknownforce & Closeone's downgrade thread?

The only one I haven't tried so far is Closeone's method, but that's only because I don't have a CD/Dvd drive/burner.

When I tried that, when I went into "recovery" with vol down + power it said that I can't use that image. It said something about my version being older, when its not.
That means you need to update to a newer version and sence we are on that subject what version are you running

If you don't mind me asking, update for what?
You most likely have to download the full 2.17 RUU so that it will "upgrade" your phone before you can "downgrade" it.

(take out the space)
Ok I found it on football dev section but this will require you to dowload the ruu which contain the hboot 1.4 now you will at need your bootloader unlocked to do this or do you have that done already ? So I present to you the ruu that will downgrade your hboot to 1.4 don't download this to EVO you have to download it to your pc or laptop and put the EVO in bootloader and then connect the USB cable and press power to turn on your fastboot next on your pc or laptop execute the program and it will run I've done this on my EVO and let me tell you the program is slow butt it works so here you go http://www.filefactory.com/file/c19...216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe

Ok then the only other option is rootevo3dnew and you can't go wrong with that one its design for people that have hboot 1.50

Alright, I'm running it now, and I'm at a black "HTC" screen and the program ran into an error: (Error 171, USB connection error).
Edit: Yup, it's not flashing.
Did u enable usb debugging in android's settings?
Overall I'm confused about a few things.
What is your detailed hw & sw versions:
- hboot:
- locked/unlocked:
- s-on/s-off:
- Fw: 2.17.651.5 etc?
- Radio:
What do u actually want... HTC Unlock or hboot downgrade with s-off?
U said u tried everything, but didn't link any threads or files that u used, so we can't be sure what u actually did.
(havent seen u post in any of the xda threads u should be following. I coulda missed it. U did say ur post count was low).
U didn't indicate if u read the hboot 1.50 guide in my signature.

I was just trying to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom.
I eventually figured it out, but not anything that I tried worked, and then it did by just trying over and again. Not sure what else to really say.
I was hboot 1.5 locked s-on and everything was stock. No "cracks" would work, until I "brute forced it."
I've been away for a while... Development was slow. Now I see we have leaked ics. Can someone give me a dummy's instruction for s-on users? All the current instructions are written for people who have been watching like a hawk... Ive been gone for quite a while. Just want the ics leak.

The instructions are posted several times in the ICS Rom release thread.
Download it
Rename to ph85img.zip
copy to SD card
reboot to bootloader
flash away

Don't forget your bootloader has to be Eng HBoot and relocked.

Thats the issue. All the steps are posted all over the place... Having a hard time locating all the needed stuff.
Not by any means new to this, but the amaze section is very disorganized.

Also... Wrong.
The op states he is s-on. This means he doesn't have the ability to change boot loaders. Also, it is not required to be on ENG hboot to flash. So technically doesn't matter either way as the option for him doesn't exist.
Please follow the instructions in post 2 of this thread. They are correct. And welcome back!

Is there anyway I can unlock my bootloader without htc dev unlocked.? I been trying to root my phone for the last couple days. but the htc dev unlocked doesn't work for me. I have follow the steps that they provide, and I have did everything again like five times, I have unistall everything and reinstall everything. still doesn't work I'm on cdma, windows 7. I Have everything install it on the rite place. I have installed the ruu, I ran the ruu again it saying complete at the end which it's good. but than when I open up the cmd and copy the code I paste it and click submit and it says failed! Error...... Is there anyway to do this without the htc dev unlocker or what I'm doing wrong? If you wanna help me please add me on gtalk : [email protected]
You could downgrade your hboot using the method in my signature. It does not require HTC to unlock first.

Run an RUU then try to unlock.
You can download the 2.17.651.5 RUU from Here
I would also think about downgrade as coal686 suggested below because you would also obtain S-OFF which is required by most rom.

There IS NO s-off for h-boot 1.01 and never will be, only solution is to do the htcdev bootloader unlock via www.htcdev.com.
look around the legend forums for all the goss and info in "HTC legend is free" thread, there is also plenty of threads with lots of info regarding others that have had issues with the unlocking that have been helped my me and other members of the legend community, best to go look around the community as its all there to explore
Follow the steps on htcdev.com and you will be able to write to /system and /recovery. Therefore your hboot will be unlocked and you can install CM 10 with no problem.
Exactly like on the top. Do on HtcDev. and it will be Ok. I just had a problem with do this on win7 but on win xp was no problem

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.
