Hi..
I decided to make an "EASY TO USE" unroot guide for the HTC Legend..
Here goes..
First..
If you want to unroot to software version 1.31
... download this file and put it in the root of your SD-card..
- This version can easily be rooted again..
If you want to unroot to software version 2.03
... download this file and put it in the root of your SD-card..
- This version will need a downgrade in order to root phone again..
When the wanted file is on your SD-card turn OFF your phone..
EDIT: *** NB: Reported in that this might not work if SD-card is partitioned with ext-partition. If not working try to use a fat32-only ***
Turn the phone ON while holding VOLUME DOWN..
The phone will detect the LEGEIMG.zip file on the SD-card and
ask you to upgrade..
Select YES.. And wait...
This should do the trick....
Nice and simple. Good work m8.
Good guide. Straight to the point. Keep up the good work.
Is there any way to. Convert the rom. Zip with the ruu to legeimg. Zip
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Yep... extract ROM.zip from RUU and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip.
Hello,
I'm not familiar yet with rooting.
When this procedure is done, will I have a working Legend device ?
Which rom will it be running ?
How could I "upload" CyanogenMod to this rooted legend ?
I've search the web, but I do not get everything yet...
Thank you for your hep !
Yannick
Thanks for the guide, but it doesn't work for me.
"No image or wrong name!" message appears.
I've tried your first link and my own rom.zip renamed to LEGEIMG.zip .

Something had gone wrong, wipe wasn't working and it kept rebooting so I was forced to... once CM 6.1 Stable releases, I'll root it again.

The point is if you have to return it under warranty.
Can someone help me with this? I keep getting an error. I can't flash the LEGEIMG.zip by reboot & vol dn+power nor by clockwork. Tried downloading the file twice, tried my extracted rom.zip and it just doesn't work.
What else can I do?
Can you post md5 of this zip?
What I did was put the file in the root of the SD Card...
Switch off the Legend and switch it on while having the Volume down button pressed. It flashes automatically.

You honestly believe that there are psychics reading these forums?
What error? Does this error have a name? Does it have a description? Or does it just say:
ERROR
...over the entire screen?
Dammit guys, learn to post some useful information!!! If it ain't working, there's definitely a reason don't you think???
Nice work mate, i gott bored, so i tested your guide, worked like a charm
now it's, back to rooting the phone again

Sorry, I wrote about it on the previous page. This message was kind of stupid bump.
Love you too.
It says 'error' tho, before error messages, so you're right. In green tho.
Something like 'Wrong image!', 'Can't find image'. All about LEGEIMG.zip . It dissapears fast.

One of two problems..
1) You did not put the download in the ROOT of your sd- card or
2) you have renamed the file..
One of these things are causing the error..
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
I'm 100% sure I haven't renamed the file and it's in the root (astro file manager shows it in /mnt/sdcard). If ROOT means sdcard top folder then there it is.
edit: clockwork says "Can't open /sdcard/LEGEIMG.zip (bad)". Hence the request for md5 - but I doubt triple download would cause some inconsistency in file.
I got CID incorect error, what does it mean?
Hi, after test for some times, i made the flashable root package for 2.3.4 (That the device has flash the leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and unlocked the device)
NOTE:
Unlocked Atrix 4G with HKTW 2.3.4
Please flash the CWM recovery first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
You should have a external sd card in your device, because the recovery cann't recognize the internal card

PLEASE download from the attachment, I'm really sorry that my site was down.
I think all of you know how to flash zip from recovery, so I'll not give hint about this, LOL

Hey, so, I ran into a slight problem.. It doesnt actually root the phone... Or so I've found. What happened to me is it worked perfectly, flashed via new cwm nicely, and I had SU in app drawer. I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

=============
Fun!
As the title say, I'm in search of someone who is running the stock Rogers ROM for HTC Raider and want to make a backup of it so I could use it please.. Thanks
If anyone is curious as to why he needs this and can't use something else... The original owner had the stock ICS rooted ROM on the device. The OP flashed a new ROM without flashing the kernel first. Now the device will not go past HBOOT (he CAN get to recovery). Here's the kicker, his computer no longer reads his device when he plugs it in. He tried other USB cords/ports, tried adb/fastboot and no luck. So essentially this is where we are.
- Stock Rogers ICS kernel
- Some other ROM
- Unlocked bootloader and S-ON
- No access to computer
Can't flash a kernel because no access to computer, can't boot up the phone to use an app to flash the kernel, not S-OFF. His SD card is not corrupt however, he can take it out and read/write, just not when it's in the Raider. RUU and PH zip won't work because unlocked bootloader and not able to connect to computer.
So essentially I think what might work is if someone can offer us a ROOTED ROGERS ICS ROM zip. Also what might work is a nand backup from someone on the stock Rogers ROM. This way he can put it on the SD card, flash/restore from recovery, and then he will have the matching kernel+ROM.
I have a stock ICS RUU Rogers if you want it?
I got it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
But download takes forever. PM me and ill put it on my dropbox.
EDIT:
Errr never mind. Let me see if i can get a NAND backup of my ROM

That would be great man. I'm really thinking that might do the trick, everything else isn't working.
Just curious, what recovery are you running? OP, what recovery are you running as well? I don't think it'll matter if you two have different recoveries but it doesn't hurt to check.

Hey dude, do you guys want the RUU or the CWM backup?
I just flashed CWM v5.5.0.4, this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423075
Im currently backing up my device ATM. Will go back to stock ICS and backup that after. Will post the stock ICS in 40 mins or so (eating and doing this at the same time ).
sorry, hit a little snag. I end up having to re-flash, re-root, etc the whole works since i got a CWM recovery loop.
Here's the RUU of the rogers one:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6792158/RUU....21_34.30.701040.22_release_264282_signed.exe
Im heading in a bit, so ill do a backup using WCX recovery method instead of CWM.

Do a full wipe (boot, system, data, datadata, cache, android secure) except for sdcard and emmc, then flash like any other rom.
Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.19 rom may be able to be flashed over Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.15 rom, but is untested. If you flash over and have issues, do a full wipe and fresh install.

I pulled out my old Incredible to see if I could breathe some new life into it and updated it to TWRP 2.4.1.0 and made a NANdroid backup of my old ROM. Went to go install it and get the Status 2 error, so I put in a newer update-binary. Not a big deal. I go to flash it again, and I get the Status 7 error, meaning I need to update to a newer version of my recovery. Not possible! So I re-flashed recovery and tried again. No dice. I can still restore my backup, so it's still alive right now. I'm curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your zip works now. What was the problem?
Also, I've always been able to edit ROM zips and delete and add apks without any issue, but I can't now with this one. It keeps giving me the status 7 error about 80% through the install when all I do is delete some Verizon bloat from the zip file. Your zip is fine, it's just when I modify it that it's giving me a problem. I'm not using the MD5 file, so it shouldn't affect anything. Also, I don't think it should let me get 80% done with the install before it breaks only because of some deleted files.

Had to update the update-binary, and edit the mount commands in the updater-script.
Deleteing apps from /system/app in the rom zip should not affect the zip in any way. Are you just deleting them from within 7zip, or are you unziping, deleting, and then rezipping it?
Status 7 usually reffers to an error in the updater-script. Since it stoped about 80% thru, about 80% thru the updater-script is where the issue is.

Sorry for the long wait. Yes i can remove system apps from the zip using 7zip without issues. Make sure you also delete the apks odex file too if using the odexed rom.

Thanks so much =), honestly I am surprised updates are still being released. I really need to get to a Verizon store and snag the 4G version but I've been traveling a lot so my Blackberry has been getting a workout thanks to the international SIM support. Regardless I still use my Dinc for Google Auth (2-pass auth FTW!) and other activities everywhere (in network or not).

Did you do a full wipe or a flash over. Was there a line before the status 7, what did it say? Symlink failed, expecting # arguments, unexpected? I will have a look at it, the last test i did was with twrp.

Ok so, I kinda effed up. Originally my Play Store among other google services had been acting up and were unusable so I was troubleshooting for a fix. I tried everything except a factory reset, so of course I do that , but as I was reseting I also lost my root. It had been awhile since I rooted my phone so I followed the steps of the video I was watching. (How to Root Galaxy Note 5 on Android 6.0/6.0.1 Marshmallow!) He happens to reformat his phone in the video so I did as well, brainfarting on the fact that I would lose my backups. I start tinkering with stuff because after factory reset in the ROM I still have no access to any of the Google services. I deleted System and was gonna re-flash/use my backups (that I thought I had) to fix everything. Well, I tried downloading the stock firmware for my model but it's not flashable via Odin as it's in ZIP form, and when I attempt unzipping I get an error, tried firmware from multiple mirrors. So I tried running a custom ROM since there is a lot more support on that now. I tried the Nemesis_V3_N7-port first, it flashed succesfully, tried booting for a solid 30 minutes or so before I shut it down and tried a different rom. I think it was then or after I flashed the latest MOAR that I started bootlooping into TWRP.
Please help!! I can normally figure this stuff out once I break it, but I've been fixing this phone for the past 12 hours and have yet to find a solution.
So you wiped your phone and have no rom? so you can either bootloop, go into twrp or go into dl mode? Right?

Well I bootloop INTO recovery mode. It says the Seandroid Enforcing in the top left corner. I was previously rooted and it had always said that but I never experienced any issues with it

you need to download the .tar file for your n920p. Then in odin click on ap and then click the .tar file. run and you should go back to stock. Then you can root again! Here yah go: https://devs-lab.com/how-to-unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-5.html
In my experience you cant do anything in twrp to save you unless you made a nandroid back up or have an extra rom. Ive done this before and I had to odin the stock firmware

I tried downloading the firmware quite a few times, it doesn't let me extract it from it's zip. I just tried 7 Zip, 9Zip, and the windows built in unzipper. Would you try downloading and extracting to tell me if you have the same issue? It comes up with an error at about 17% saying it's missing a crucial file..

Thank you Spencer, really appreciate the help. I've tried a couple other links across other similar firmware flashing forums to no avail. So if you have a problem too, it's gotta be a batch of incomplete files.

okey dokey, I'm re-downloading and going to attempt with Winrar will come back to update in 30ish if it works.
I was so hyped, I thought it was gonna work. It got to 99% and then said:
C:\Users\Delerios\Downloads\N920PVPU2BPC3_N920PSPT2BPC3_SPR.zip: Checksum error in C:\Users\Delerios\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.337\N920PVPU2BPC3_N920PSPT2BPC3_N920PVPU2BPC3_HOME.tar.md5. The file is corrupt
C:\Users\Delerios\Downloads\N920PVPU2BPC3_N920PSPT2BPC3_SPR.zip: The archive is corrupt
So I think I'm gonna try and find yet another page to download from. Did you download the version for N920P, or for the N920T you have?

That would be insane man, TY!! I've been hitting every forum I could looking for a download that worked for me. I wonder why I can't access it, I'm using Chrome/Windows 10. I was abouta to go see if it worked on my old laptop but I figured it was a long shot.

All you really need to do is re flash your twrp so it will re root the phone again! After you flash twrp you can easily use adb to push the files back to your phone. This is all I did to a phone I repaired.. You can even use fastboot flash Your920PFirmware.tar..

One thing after another... So I attempted flashing and I got the "Pit for mapping" error. I looked up my Pit file and put it into odin but I'm still getting the problem. Tried wiping the Cache and Dalvik + Factory Reset but nada. Any ideas?

Dang. Hey man appreciate all your help, thank you for the file. I'll post the solution when I figure all this out in case there's another poor soul in the same boat
I FIXED IT. It was my computer, I don't know what it was and I don't care lol. But I tried the correct firmware through Odin on my other Windows PC and it worked flawlessly. If anybody runs into any issues unzipping or flashing through Odin, last resort just clean install on the pc or find another one.
