[Q] Need advice for a ROM - Any help welcomed! - Legend Android Development

Hey guys,
Right now I have an HTC Legend I bought through my cell operator.
Of-course it's sim locked and it's running Eclair 2.1.
The full software information:
Firmware version: 2.1-update 1
Baseband version: 47.39.35.09U_7.08.35.21
Kernel version:2.6.29-639577ca
[email protected]#1
Build number:2.05.461.52 CL218650 release-keys
Software number: 2.05.461.52
I decided it's a time for a rooting and putting some rom on it...
What I'm trying to find first is the ROM that all the rooting stuff will worth it.
The characteristics of ROM I'm looking for:
1) The most stable ROM (don't want to see any unexpected reboots or freezing).
2)Fully functional Legend(GPS working, WIFI, 3G, SMS, Calls, Camera and etc.)
3)Improved WIFI signal (better than I have now ).
4)Fast performance without any lagging and freezing(faster than eclair 2.1).
5)Stable ability of moving and saving applications on SD card.
6)The most battery saving ROM (ROM with best battery power management).
7)As much as less pre-installed not needed software.
-I've seen that some ROMS require changing KERNEL, I'm a newbie in this stuff so any "android expression guide" will be welcomed.
Any suggestion and advice will be welcomed.
Also would like to know where can I find a complete guide for rooting my phone, with all the required steps (don't want to brick my phone beacuse someone forgot to mention what is the next step).
Appreciate your help my friends.
p.s.
If I ask my cell operator to unlock my phone to sim free, will I still need to use Gold-Card for rooting?

Hi..
First of all.. This question should have been asked in the General forum..
Second.. What you need is not a rooted phone.. Just an update for 2.2 (FroYo) should be available for your phone by now.
If you somehow decide to root I would recommend
[ROM] B 0.5 (based on stock HTC FroYo WWE 3.15.405.3) by BlaY0
If you want to keep the look and feel of HTC..
or
[ROM] CyanogenMod 6.1 by Ali Ba
if you want the look and feel of what Android was all about in the first place..

You can start from this discussion:

The thing is, my cell operator not going to release froyo 2.2 for legend, so I have no option but to root.
Unless there is some way to install RUU version without rooting????
I' m sorry for posting in wrong forum,if administrator can move this thread to appropriate one I'll be be glad.

still haven't understand if i'll need a gold card if i ask my cell operator to open my Legend to sim free...

You will need a goldcard to root regardless of whether or not the phone is sim unlocked. However, if you want to flash a RUU update all you will need is a goldcard, no need to root your phone. If you do decide to root, I would recommend either of the two ROMs already mentioned above.

thanks a lot my friend, not gonna root right now i think but do want to install official froyo 2.2.
where can i find the lastest ruu file? and also a full guide how to do it right without damage to phone....
will the official froyo update will provide all i've mentioned?

Why don't you google "legend root howto" or search the forum? "legend root"?
If that's a serious question, PLEASE don't root! You won't be happy without reading A LOT and using google!

but i decided not to root but just flash ruu froyo, the official froyo for legend...
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Yes, but you have to create a Goldcard, thats explained in the rooting howto's, then pick any RUU, you can update it via OTA!

ok my friend, appreciate you help... but what ota means?

Crusader0071
you can use american guides, but you must, MUST download the UK versions of the firmware when rooting.
and just search the forums, there are plenty of tutorials on how to root your G1.

Hi mate,
cheers for the reply.
where is best place to get the uk firmware? and how will i know if its uk or american?
This page should help you.
Once you have this up and running, you can upgrade your recovery to Amon_ra latest, upgrade your radio to the latest and flash away.
cheers mate, will try this when i get the phone.
hi do i need the rc29 or rc7? im in the uk?
Which kind of g1 did u order
its a g1 with drc92 with 1.6 f/w, what other info do you need?
You need the RC7 .zip I believe.
are you sure mate?
you should go on youtube.com and type this in the search bar "jailbreaking t-mobile g1 made easy" and follow from there it should give u links and remember to choose the uk downloads this is one of the best vids with the clearist quality

do i have to use this perticular .zip or can i use others which ones can i use with this method of rooting and which roms do i need for the uk?
please help asap i need my phone! lol
i think i might need a new recovery.img too as this one i have has no backing up options? please please please help me someone
get amon-ra's recovery, and the rom you're talking about is out of date, so i suggest flashing one of the many roms that we currently have (superD, SCDI, Open Eclair, etc.)

Unrooting Questions!!!

Hey i am asking these questions on beahalf of fellow rooters
1)By rooting the phone, we are still using Stock rom except that we have SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS already, is that true?
2)To unroot our phone, run RUU roms:
RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe
or...
RUU_Legend_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.31.707.2_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_121965_signed.exe
depending on ur location, asia or other countries.
3)Before i rooted my phone, my firmware is 1.31.707.3
but the RUU rom as stated above is "..WWE_1.31.707.2_Ra.."
is it the same? if not, how do i get my default rom back?
4)After i have rooted my HTC legend, there would be a Stock OTA update by HTC to Android 2.2 froyo. Will the OTA update still take place, or do i have to unroot the phone first?
5)Is there a way to backup my current stock rom: 1.31.707.3 ? if yes, how?
Thank You
Knnhzx

well on those i can answer now:
No1: if u use the stock ruu rom u will NOT have superuser permissions, however there is an "Almost stock" Rom based on this RUU that i currently run and it's really smooth and fast and i have alot more RAM free however i have a problem with facebook contacts so my contact pictures wont sync and i can't link fb contacts to my google contacts. (But i can't really say it is because of the rom or if it is fb that has made some changes)
No4: when u use the "almost stock" Rom the OTA updates are disabled, if they are disabled on the non-root RUU i can't really say, but i don't think they are disabled on that one
Ok thank you for answers
If I understand well, If I want use app2sd I must use a rooted stock ROM, I can not use the HTC stock ROM.
I will search more informations about future OTA update from HTC (in particulary Froyo update) and may be I will try root for my legend.
Regards
BTW, any new information on the release date for Froyo from HTC w/Sense?

Actually no.. u need the Rom that they have modded and call "almost stock" and choose the one with apps2sd in it.. OR u need to wait for the HTC stock Froyo update..

not any official news, HTC said "in the beginning of Q3"
many speculations have been posted regarding what they mean but many people say that it will come in september or october.. we can't do anything but wait for info from HTC or for the update itself.
Ok thanks. I'm very happy with the Legend, so no rush updating it to Froyo.

[HOWTO] root Koodo version of Optimus One P500h 10v

!!ATTENTION!!
THIS INFORMATION HAS BECOME OUTDATED. ​
There are probably newer and easier ways of accomplishing your goals that are now available. Read the entire thread for tips from other people about how to get your phone rooted - their suggestions are likely to be better options for your needs. I will not be maintaining this thread, but I will leave it up as a record for others to read. Good luck!
_______________________________________________
Original Post:
Hi. I had trouble getting my Optimus One from Koodo Mobile rooted. So, here is some info that I hope will help others get through the process a bit faster. I mainly followed the instructions in various threads from XDA, but I needed to do things differently.
!!! REMEMBER, THIS IS INFORMATION FROM A BIT OF A NOOB. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.
!!! ALSO, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILTY FOR ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD THAT COMES FROM APPLYING WHAT IS SAID IN THIS THREAD.
!!! THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY INTENDED FOR USE ON THE OPTIMUS ONE FROM KOODO MOBILE RUNNING FIRMWARE VERSION 10v.
It is probably not worth asking me any questions, since I barely got through the process properly myself.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Drivers
So, first I installed the LG PC Suite software because I think that gets you the USB drivers needed for this phone. I think LG calls it "Download LG Mobile Support Tool to PC" on their support site at:
http://www.lg.com/sg/support/product/support-product-profile-mobile-redux.jsp?customerModelCode=Optimus%20One%20P500&initialTab=drivers&targetPage=support-product-profile-mobile-redux
Telus 2.2 firmware version V10G_00
So, since android 2.2.1 is not rootable on Optimus One, I had to downgrade to android 2.2. I found a link to a Telus version of P500h that is android 2.2 at the following link (make sure you download the one that ends in "V10G_00.kdz"):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12253960#post12253960
Installing Telus firmware using KDZ
I followed steps #2 through #8 from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
KDZ worked well, just so you know.
Rooting
Now I used "z4root" to permanently root. It was super easy (way easier than rooting my MT3G Slide). z4root is NOT in the market anymore so you need to sideload it onto your SD storage, then install it with any apk manager.
This site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
led me to this site, where I downloaded z4root from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
After that, I was all rooted up... finally.
So, I obviously am NOT trying to take any credit for the real efforts made by others. I want to say thank you to all people involved with the links and programs I referred to. I really appreciate what people do for others here at XDA. My phones would not be rooted or other kinds of fun without those people.
THANKS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a bit of a side note, you might want to unlock you phone too... so you could use it with FIDO, etc. So, I used a site called "mobileincanada". It was $20 and took less than 24 hrs to get the code. I was happy with that.
Nice write-up, I had to follow a similar path. The most trouble I had was finding a firmware that worked.. I ended up using the same TELUS firmware. It works great, much faster than the original Koodo firmware.
Sorry for my question: what is the difference between your P500h and the other P500 devices? is it a branded device with special firmware?
I thought, all P500 can be flashed with every P500 *.kdz (for country) or XDA ROMs
for P500
I wished you wrote this yesterday but thanks. I figured it out yesterday . This is the sickest 150$ phone I have ever had. I get 1100 quadrant score :O
If you want a stock, rooted 2.2.1 (Telus V10S - same as Koodo's stock V10v)
You'll need a custom recovery to flash it: [DEV] Custom Recovery P500/Thunderg

this may be off topic but what are the custom roms that you can flash to p500h? any one tried installing one?
Thank you, I thought I broke the phone when I flashed V10A_00, it wouldn't boot into screen. Telus one indeed is nicer than Koodo's.

Thanks Kwen! This is very useful - now no need for the kdz updater.
Edit: or now we can keep the Koodo version of 2.2.1 and just root it using Gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) - no KDZ needed, no recovery needed (prior to root). Obviously, recovery is still recommended after root.
the only question that i have is where can i GET the stock 2.2.1 for my provider? i'm with Koodo, and i live the custom roms, but i need to flash back to stock to see if i can get my mms working correctly again. and i apologize in advance if this is the wrong thread.

Thats where my knowledge on this issue runs out my friend. Have you searched every thread to do with gaining back S-ON?

How to revert back to HTC Sense for Incredible S ?
Hello,
As testing, I installed the latest CyanogenMod ROM on my Incredible S. But I am not at all liking the interface. Are there any ways to revert back to the custom HTC Sense ?
I saw the thread "Incredible S shipped ROMs collection" at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. But I'm not sure on how to do this and which ROM I need to install.
Can you please help me on this ? I miss HTC Sense a lot
Thank you,

I know your pain my friend as I am a fan of Sense, but fear not! There are a number of ROMs using both Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 out there at the moment all located in the development section, or nicely packaged in one place here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463. You would install these the same way you installed CyanogenMod. I am currently running Nikhil - TriNity Sense 3.5 which is currently in the process of being updated, so you may want to wait for that if you fancy giving 3.5 a go, if not then Virtuous Unity is also very good, although again expecting an update. Bslim's ROM is also sporting 3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265980
If you want to go back to your original stock ROM and did not do a Nandroid backup of it before flashing Cyanogen, then you can download the stock RUU that relates to your version of android and the radio you currently have. Look at your phone info if your are unsure of this. You then download it to your sd card and flash it the same way as all the others. If you did do a backup just restore this and hay presto!
Hope this helps.
Hello VaderXI,
Thanks a lot for replying...
I had done a backup of sense prior flashing cyanogenmod. But while trying to restore from revolutionary, its says md5sum mismatch. Not sure what happened.
I'm planning to use the ROM at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275609' but the problem is its in Arabic. I hope i can change it when the phone is booted up and it asks for the settings.
How can I get the radio version from my phone ? IIRC, mine was using android 2.3.3 which was the latest version for HTC Incredible S. Why does the available Incredible S roms show up as .exe files ? Are these flashed as the same way as other ROMs ?
To be frank, I'm having trouble detecting the rom versions from the list in 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. How can i find something for android 2.3.3 Incredible S which i bought in India.
If the ROM you are using is in english, can you please send me the link for that please.
Thank you,

Cant help with the md5sum mismatch I'm afraid. Did you wipe all your data before flashing i.e. cache and dalvik cache ect?
The ROM u want to use is available in English, like u said just select it in when u first reboot.
U can find ur radio version under settings-about phone-software info-more-baseband version. Match this with the RUU in the thread and ur sorted...it will obviously be a gingerbread version. Yes they are flashed the same way as other ROMS.
All the ROMs are available in English. If they say "full Arabic", that's because Arabic is not always available on ROMs and the developer wants you to know that it is in theirs. The ROM i am currently using is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301785, but it is currently being updated and the download is not available.
All the best.

Sorry but the JVT Rom is just for 2.3.6 and 2.3.5, there isnt any for 2.3.3, just want some clarification.
EDIT:
I got the phone onto GB and flashed new ICS Rom, thanks again for the help and useful links..
