hi,
i have a HTC legend running Android 2.2 baseband 47.51.35.17U_7.13.35.05
and HBOOT 1.01.
i have tried many solutions including unrevoked3, z4root, superoneclick and universalandroot.
i have also tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465.
none of them helped me to root.
anyone can help me?
As far as I know you can only get temproot with one click rooting apps on htc legend...

yeah....thats tre....visionary gives me temp root. im searching for perm root.
You'll have to follow the guide on how to root HBOOT1.01, there has never been a 1 click root for the Legend and most likely never will be.

Hello all,
I am a Hero user and upgraded to Legend.
But I am confused on the Root method compare with Hero.
Can anyone tell me how to Root my Legend w/o using custom ROM?
The method should be able to unRoot incase if warranty needed.
Thanks!!!

My unrooted stock Legend currently running 2.05.405.2 still
shows a bootloader of 43.0001. I went from stock 1.31.405.5 to 2.05 via OTA.
This seems weird considering 2.03 has a later version of the bootloader.
Is this the same for all 2.05 users? Is my bootloader corrupted in some way?
Perhaps it means I can root it without downgrade.

How did you get OTA 2.03 if you have 1.31???
Hi,
Sorry, I got my numbers mixed up. I had 1.31.405.5 and got 2.05 ota.
I've edited the original post. Nonetheless, the bootloader still shows 43.0001.
I checked also, same build and still show hboot 43.0001. Weird. Anyway
I don't complain.

And we could root?
Hi, my device is still on 43.0001.
Is it possible to root my device without downgrade?
Did you root your phones?
Why don't you thyself just give it a try? Please move this to Legend general...?

Hey I already tried rooting and it gets stuck at
43 main version error with modaco rooting guide.
So I'm assuming i have to downgrade to 1.31.
Oh and I have no clue how to move a thread in xda.
Have you had any joy with downgrading/rooting?
Im in the same exact boat as you myself and I dont seem to be having any luck with the downgrade ;(
No luck with straight rooting. I'm going to downgrade
then root.
If you have any luck with downgrading using the guide on this forum let me know as im having no joy.
Im in the same boat as you, same software and bootloader but the downgrade doesnt seem to play nicely ;(
Few days ago i've downgraded (from 2.05 to 1.31) and rooted my girlfriends phone, no problems at all. Just follow the instructions and you'll make it.

Yep I noticed your reply in the original thread, but i seem to be running into an issue that hasnt been brought up before ;(
Il keep trying!
Hmm. I will try it soon. Also must try the soft root method that
is out on the forum. Since it loses root once rebooted, I was
wondering if clockworkmod could flash a rom, probably not.
Okay i used androot to root my phone and it worked and all but i found a thread that will root it with unrevoked with recovery etc and i rather have that i unrooted it with androot...but i went through the codes for unrevoked and it wont install superuser onto my phone can someone help me unroot completely or reboot to a fresh htc hero
If you want to unroot your hero, all you need to do is run the official RUU which can be found off of sprint's web site -> HERE
Hey guys!
I received and installed the new Android 2.2 update over OTA. But I lost my root access. I tried rooting with Unrevoked: no success. So I'm asking if anyone knows how could I root my wildfire now.
Please help
Reading really seems to be a problem around here.

You can't root the OTA, htc updated the hboot, so wait until unrevoked release an updated version.
I think you'll have to downgrade to an older RUU and root to flash a custom froyo, but I think the new hboot prevents this.
Leaves me wondering why you guys waited for official froyo and then decide to root lol.

For example, I waited for the official FroYo for stability. I had my phone rooted, and I had installed RUU sometimes too (1.37 or 2.10 cn), and then Unrevoked, because they can be rooted. So I didn't think that now, I couldn't root the official froyo, so I tried it as I had already tried RUU's and succesfully rooted.
Some people is saying that there were a lot of adverts/advices saying not to install RUU's or OTA's because then they can't be rooted. But I'm relatively new on this so I didn't even see those posts. There are a lot and I didn't read all of them, so I didn't know.
When I saw official FroYo was out I decided to install it to then flash Jacob's kernel and being root. Before that, I had finally went back to stock 2.1, rooted and OC, because custom roms are often unstable.
Now, I'm waiting resigned to be able to root it and forget this nightmare of being enclosed in this ROM.
EDIT: And yes, the new hboot prevents downgrading...
Do you get now the reasons?
did anyone try superoneclick 1.9.1 on nexus one with 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
I tried and it's not working.
Try it. SuperOneClick is not working on 2.3.3
Gingerbreak.apk v1.2 is working on 2.3.3 but not 2.3.4
Gingerbreak isn't working for 2.3.4, any alternate solutions?

I tried SuperOneClick (2.3.4) without succes. How do you root yours?
Kind regards, Lasse
Ok well to root you'll need to either unlock the bootloader or passimg back to frg33. If you passimg back then you can root with superoneclick if you unlock the bootloader then ask me and I will give you some instructions on how to do it.
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Flash custom recovery.
3. Flash su or a rooted rom.
If you can't or don't want to do this sell your phone. You should not have a dev/GED period.
not working on 2.3.4. why not flashing a rooted rom? not difficult.

Well it's cause if you want to flash a rooted ROM you'll need to have root access and if he had root access he would not need superoneclick.
