Had a search around and can't find any topics relating to this. My legend is currently on 2.1 software version 1.23. The root methods talk about downgrading to 1.31. Do I just skip this and root? or do I have to update to 1.31 somehow?
Thanks in advance, sorry for the nubbyness
No downgrade needed for you, just root
thanks for the reply buddy, can you recommend any of the root procedures?

the tutorial is tested by numerous individuals that it works.
you could look at who Thank'ed Post #1 and ask them personally, if worried.
i personally haven't tested the downgrade of OSPL 5.xx method...
but it had gotten multiple successes.

Hey guys,
I know this has been asked several times and I apologize for this but I need help with S-OFFing/installing a rom on my IncS.
I am using hboot 2.00
The problem is I dont understand it all... I see Radio this? RUU That? And its totally confused me.
I am looking to install 'Android Revolution HD' so any advice would be helpful.
I have written down my radio number just in case but as I said, its confused me so I dont know what to do.

You need to read and research so that these terms are not confusing.
Since you are on HBOOT 2.00, you need to check out the HTCDEV unlocking procedure at HTCDEV.com. Also you need to get familiar with using adb.exe and Fastboot.exe.
With the newer HTC ROMs, the days of a simple one-click root option are no longer available at the moment. An educated user you must become...
Could you link me to some threads that I will need to read? Sorry for asking stupid questions.

A great place to start is read the sticky posts in the forums.
Yes you can use Android Revolution but you will also need to use EXT4 recovery instead of CWM recovery as that is a requirement of the ROM.

You will have to go to the HTCDEV.com site and unlock your bootloader in order to root now that you have the ICS update.

If you just want to root your stock ROM, then you can simply flash su-3.0.7.zip from recovery mode instead of flashing a custom, rooted ROM.

The moment you flash another firmware, your root is gone.
If the question you have is if this will work on a unlocked bootloader; the answer is yes (source: I have a VIE-L09 on unlocked bootloader - and did this this morning)
@deecept thanks! for the confimation. alot of help!
