Hey guys,
I'm new here, but I was wondering if you could help me. My HTC Legend is still running on 2.1, and I really want froyo. I'm thinking of rooting my Legend, but I first wanted to know how hard it is to unroot my device (for the OTA from HTC) and which ROM I should pick, I'm thinking of the Cyanogen Azure but maybe you guys know a better one.
Thanks!
Should be moved to "General"

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forums and I have been thinking whether to root my phone or not, mainly for warranty purposes as I just got it a few weeks ago.
My question is, if I do root the phone, are there custom Froyo 2.2 roms available on this site and if so a)can you please link them to me and b) explain how to install?
I would like to also hear some input/feedback to what's the pros and cons of rooting my phone and if its actually worth it and what happens if something happens and I can't fix it?
I really appreciate with all the help I can get and thanks
I'm new here myself but haven't you ever heard of Google my child? Or heck, search the forums there are plenty of them explaining how to.

At the moment there is one ROM which you can use for your daily used one.
- Azure from Ali Bau (take a look at the thread)
I use the ROM since two weeks and don't have any issue.

Thanks for information. All I have to do is, do more research and find out how to root my phone, and install the custom ROM
Hi,
Since I'm still on the 1.31.405 rom its still easy to root for me, but I would like to keep the stock rom (I really need a stable ROM and fm radio) is there anyone who can give me the stock 2.05 rom with root?
Thx in advance

Did you root this yourself or just got it from google?
Cause I really don't want to screw up my phone by flashing a faulty rom that someone just randomly posted on the internet.
Or isn't it possible to brick a phone just by flashing a faulty rom?
No, I havent rooted it. I got it from this forum. If you search you may find the actual thread. Maybe Blayo......cant be sure. I havent flashed it yet.

seriously? I've tried searching before posting, quite a lot actually never found a threat, neither do I now :s
But if it's from xda it'll be safe I guess
search for arzme in members list and then all posts by him and you may find the thread and confirm its validity yourself.
i have downgraded my legend because i wanted to root.
But i think that i dont want it anymore.Can i just start this and then i have 2.05 again.
for this i dont need root right? because i only have downgraded.
I've just tried it, when I booted it for the first time it said something in chinees or tawanese I don't know. It also doesn't have dutch
Anyone who knows a rooted 2.05 rom which has dutch?
thx in advance
Why you not trying the "Almost Stock Rom 2.03" ?

tried this, and its pretty close to what I wanted, thx
I am happily on a nexus s... and in the past, I have rooted and flashed the nexus one, desire hd, galaxy tab and now my nexus s... however, I have a friend that has a rogers captivate... and he just wants to run froyo....
is it safe to assume, it is just as easy as rooting and flashing a custom rom?
Any links or suggestions appreciated, I never care when I tinker with MY devices... but this is a friends.... thx in advance

Short answer to your question is yes it that easy. The link its to the dev forum. There are too many options and choices, best to read and make an informed decision
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
are you talking about the roms? What is the easiest method of gaining root access on the capitivate? thx
I guess I will read up on it once I have his phone in front of me!
thx
Yeah, it's really just as easy as following the steps. If the Cappy is fairly new it seems it won't have the issues that plagued the earlier runs of this phone so just pick a ROM and go for it.
Hey guys,
Been looking for an android 1.6 rom for a Sprint Hero looked through the forums but couldn't find any with links that work.
I'm just looking for an RUU thats 1.6 since the 2.1 rom doesn't work well on it.
I'm not looking for a rom that I need to root for, this is for a friend so the easiest and least risky way of going back to 1.6 or another better than 2.1 rom.
I hope I didn't miss this in the forums because I don't want to waste your time, just been trying to get this issue fixed for a while.

Roms are for rooted phones only You need rom manager, superuser, and a recovery as well.

I guess I'm looking for an RUU then, I know you can install different versions of the actual OS without doing anything special, done it many times before. I'm just looking for Android 1.6 from Sprint, not a custom one because that requires rooting it.
-Thanks
It had 1.5 originally, then went to 2.1. that's why yer having trouble finding 1.6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
hope that helps. I think it's a rootable 1.56.
Thanks! I downloaded it and will try and install if probably later today! With that ROM do I simply have to click ARU Wizard for the RUU (like the RUUs from HTC) or will I have to use other files in the folder?
Thanks again by the way.
No problem. I hope its what you were looking for.

I don't have any place to host the download, plus it has been my experience that once you post a cooked ROM, you get all kinds of requests like if only you would add this or remove this, etc.
