Well, Paul from Modaco isn't really keen on rooting the 2.03 since he is preoccupied with the new devices. I wonder if anyone from XDA is working on it.
Because i really want to use custom roms instead of the stock rom. Didn't like the HTC sense, because it suck up so much ram.
Hopefully, anyone from xda can give us Legend owners some answers.
Have you looked at this forum topic about downgrading HBOOT and RUU? The procedure is for the Desire, but it might work on the Legend too.
I have tryed to downgrad hboot by "The procedure for the Desire" ,but is't not work ,because it's only for rooted phone .
without root ,we can't downgrad hboot
without downgrad hboot ,we can't root
This method should supposedly work on any HTC 2.1 device. If that one doesn't, this one should.
EDIT: typo.
Thanks for the links, I tried about 30 times trying to get the loop exploit to work. Just never would show in devices in recovery mode, followed both guides.

Damn. I was sure one of these was gonna work, since they're both based on the HTC Legend OTA exploit. Just a stupid question, but do you have HTC Sync installed (I think it provides some of the needed drivers)?
I tried both methods on FW 2.03.405.3 but it seems like it does not work in this particular firmware.
device just won't be detected in recovery mode.
what windows version are you using? and what version 32 or 64 bit ?
i had an issue on my hero, i had to use htc 64 bit driver when it couldn't find the phone. I had to go to device manager and select the android driver manually...
yep. Both methods do NOT work with the Bell/Virgin Legend... Device is unable to connect while in recovery mode. Even tried updating/changing the driver... no go. (win7 x64)
that does not work at home either with the 2.03
"error: device not found"

Windows 7 x32 with latest HTC Sync from the website.
i read that if you try downgrading using an official rom from htc to 1.31 of htcs website or somewhere on the forum it will work.
once downgraded to 1.31 you can root and install whatever roms you want.
where ??????
it is impossible
it will work, only if you done the update over OTA. If you done it over RUU it won't work due to the bootloader being upgraded.

Just wait for 10 - 15 second after the device connect to PC, it always work for me. PC will load the driver first, and of course you already install HTC syn.
like i said
If you've done an update from version 1.31.xx.xx to 2.03.xx.xx over the air you can downgrade with the RUU file.
If like me you've used the 2.03 RUU file,well...your screwed,just like me
at this time there is no solution for it yet, and honestly, i don't see anyone bothering with it,trying to find a solution except for all of us legend users. I know that lots of us are attempting to follow every single root guide there is on the web, but the result will always be the same...no success untill a new rooting guide or bootloader downgrade possibility appears... it's sad dude
Did anyone try this method? It's a new method for the Droid Eris, but it should work on all HTC phones with Android 2.1. It's worth a shot..
where did you see that it should work for everybody?
i've been searching the threads and don't see anything about it.

Hi,
I've recently rooted my phone and moved from WM to Myn's Donut NAND build. I like it a like except for a couple things. The most annoying is that my phone reboots every time it enters sleep mode, either from timing out or from me sending it into sleep manually.
I've reflashed the ROM a number of times with different builds, and even some of the other ROMs. Same problem.
I tried flashing back to one of the custom WM builds and that was even worse, it rebooted soon after coming up to the WM desktop. I never had problems prior to unlocking and doing the initial ROM flash.
It seems odd that I would have picked up a hardware problem right as I did the unlock and first ROM flash. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
what unlocker did you use?
I have the 2.31 CoKE HardSPL unlocker that is referenced in the how-to guides such as the paragraph below. Think something is wrong with the install?
First and foremost, make sure you have unlocked your phone with the "2.31 CoKe" HardSPL. If you have ever flashed a custom Windows ROM from this site or ppcgeeks.com, to your device, then you most likely have already done this. If not, perform the steps HERE first, before continuing.

I know that there are vogues that are different than others. That may be the case with yours. Some don't work right with android, some do. I'm not sure if it's something with the unlockr or slightly different hardware. For example, my wifes vogue is a funny one;
I can't flash a new nbh from the SDcard. I have to use the htc flash app, also for a long time she couldn't update her build because the kernel was incompatible. However now, the most recent kernels are fine.
Since unlocking some of the 6.5 builds won't work, they would randomly hard reset. but the 6.1 builds were perfectly fine..

I had that problem where it would reboot on sleep, even in windows mobile, i figured out that it was the unlocker, so i relocked it, then unlocked it again with .31 and that fixed it.

just use the unlocker v.40 then flash stock rom, then unlock again with the .31
as for the url, just google vogue unlocker .40
How did you install the .40 unlocker? It uses activesync to connect to the Vogue. Did you have a WM ROM installed first?

Maybe I'm doing it wrong then.
I opened up the vogue_unlocker.exe and extracted all the files to a dir. I changed into that dir and copied the VOGUIMG.NBH file to RUU_signed.nbh. I've had to do that for other ROMs, so I did it just to be safe. I then put the phone in bootloader mode, and connected it via USB. Then I ran the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from that dir.
It wanted to update from image ver ' <blanks>' to image ver ' 1.00.000.0'
It runs through the install, but doesn't seem to update the ROM. The bootloader still shows SPL-0.41.CoKE
I ended up flashing to a custom WM ROM, which let me establish an Activesync connection, so then I could run the full .40 install from windows, which worked.
Also the problem is i cannot root the htc wildfire, i tryed every guide that is avaidable in the forum, unrevokend, linux + unrevokend, windows xp and unrevoked.
Cannot find a RUU to roll back to the stock rom that works, every time i try it says that the model id or languge id is not compatible with my device, also error 131
inforamtion from my bootloader says:

You can't root your phone because it contains the new Hboot vs: 1.01.0001 which as yet hasn't been 'hacked'.

Hey guys,
I've searched everywhere but there's no definitive guide to revert to stock from WP7. Pretty much, I tried out WP7 on my dad's HD2, but he didn't like it. So I need to revert it, but there's so much stuff to know that it all gets pretty intimidating.
Anyways,
HTC HD2 w/ Windows Phone 7 (Using aMAGLDR V1.12 - Build: Jan 12 2001, 21:09:22 - by Cotulla 2011 [this ONLY, no other mods present])
Trying to convert back to Windows Phone 6.5
Using Windows XP
Have d/led Windows Active Sync but it won't connect to the PC even when the USB is plugged in. (I'm guessing this is the reason why I can't revert to stock, it won't even connect to the PC)
I've also d/led the latest stock RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship from the forums.
It looks like I have all the resources but my PC won't even recognize the phone being connected to the computer. Must I do anything else besides attempting to flash the stock ROM?
Thanks A LOOOOTTTTT in advance!
I have the Exact same question anybody help please?
It might be you don't have the drivers installed that are needed, your antivirus could be preventing a connection, I had a similar problem where it seemed that it didn't recognize my phone uninstalled sync when into my bootloader it didn't seem to recognize my phone tasked 29 and it went through without a problem
::BUMP::
PLEASE someone help me out, this is getting soo frustrating, I switched to my laptop running Vista and it still won't recognize it.
I d/led Windows Mobile Device Center and it STILL won't work.
Please anyone.
Enter the bootloader screen then plug phone in and wait for it to say USB at the bottom then flash the stock rom from t-mobile

I am planning to upgrade the ROM to 3.14.531.1.
I read at forum that Post upgrade, my HD2 will default to factory settings. Does it mean that my phone will again be locked to T-mobile?
Pl confirm asap as I don't want a locked phone

I've tried some DFT Mango versions (7713, 7714) on my HSPL HD7 and they're both working great. Altough they're listed as unlocked, I can't install homebrew Apps. Error notifications like Tom XAP Installer's "Please make sure your phone was unlocked!" appear
There are a plenty of comments confirming the functionality of those Rom's, but in my case it doesn't work. Anyone out there having the same issues (and solutions) ?

The roms are unlocked. Try using Xapdeployx or Application deployment(Windows phone developer tools) for sideloading apps. Tom's xap installer no longer works with mango roms
Thank you for your answer
I've tried Xapdeployx and Application deployment, but they both tell me, my phone is locked. I'll look that up, too, but perhaps you can help me one more time?
I worked it out now. I downgraded from 7714 to 7713 again and tried XAPDeployX once more. Fortunately, it installs all my apps without any error thanks

I was hoping that someone would cook a Mango ROM that is unlocked... but so far no dice.
My device is running Mango per the update thread that is knocking around... via Zune 4.8 beta etc rather than flashing a new ROM.
Both a Q and a warning, as this was a new update.
I've had Mango for about 2 / 3 weeks (delivered through Zune)- yesterday received a notification of an update by HTC (There is chatter that this is the Wifi hotspot update?), which Zune failed to restart my HD7, giving me a bricked device.
Right now the device is powering on, giving one vibration to say hello, and then proceeding to give me 7 vibrations. I can reach both the bootloader and the recovery menu, but neither have been of any help.
This is what my bootloader screen looks like:
Code:
PD29100 SS-BC (4k)
SPL-5.0.2250.1(121000) MNG
MicroP(LED) 0x07
Touch S1(v2.B#1625)
SD SANDISK 15193MB
Partition Info v211v413
CRC is
Code:
BL CRC-0x7E63640E
OS(SI) CRC-0xB7077908
My warning is that I haven't done any ROMing on this device (it's unlocked and unbranded) so far, this was pure OTA- so if anyone gets this update in the next day or so, just be warned.
My concern is these flashing tools don't appear to support SPL v5. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this show on the road? Downgrade the ROM and go from there?

have you tried flashing a stock Shipped ROM?

Holy hell...was just about to get this update yesterday and just like that, decided against it...
Thanx a ton man...its been 2/3 weeks for me too with the Mango update.

In my honest opinion they are quite hopeless. They will answer as if they are obliged to you and they owe you something. Anyways, its a personal experience.
Any luck? Did u hear anything from the (abject) Twitter support team ?
BTW, my update went fine. Finger crossing does help
No reply on anyone from twitter. HTC email support sent me through hard reset instructions, which I've already tried. Should be on the phone with them tomorrow with regards to the issue, will update this thread if there is a way of fixing this.
Had two mates at work whose updates went through fine as well :| Probably worth noting my phone and PC (Zune) region is set to US whilst my ROM is most certainly the SEA one. Maybe something's messed up there.
would out what Error 226 is...
it is a 'file write' error, suggesting the image (.nbh) is bad.
i suggest a redownload.
also, that ROM is now publicly available.
perhaps try flashing that?

Thanks for your reply, getting an error similar to this:
