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

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.

[Q] Root or not?

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"

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to root it tomorrow

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

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:

although it is not updated

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...

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?

First time poster:
Look at the Shipped ROMs sticky thread in the Development section. That's where you will find the links for IncS ROMs.

Search in the ARHD thread. I posted a MF link for the old ROM

Yes, go to the development section, browse around the roms and find one that suits your likings and needs. Read carefully the installation instruction and flash it.
If you need something more specific then ask.
If it your fist time messing with custom roms maybe you would like to start with 2.3. Try out Gingerdx.

Can you provide me a guide for begginers?
