GOLDcardhttp://www.vorbeth.co.uk/?s=goldcard&x=0&y=0
Instructions
uninstall any htc sync version u have,reboot windows,reinstall the above version.
connect the phone to usb
enable usb debugging
Make your gold card.
extract ANDROID SDK
in the android sdk tools folder ,extract the hack for legend
open crackin.bat (your phone will reboot 5 times)
install VISIONary r13,then temproot "u may need to make twice"
while you are on sdk/tools shift and rt click and chose command prompt here.
then write :
Code:
adb shell
su
once u see the prompt on the phone click yes.
now write:
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
open root for legend Unzip them to the C: drive on your computer (so the file path is C:\r4-legend-root\)
Turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding down Back and Power until you see Fastboot come up on the screen. Push the Power button while highlighting Fastboot on the phone and Fastboot should show up in red now on the phone (if it doesn’t push Power again until it does).
Plug the phone in via USB cable to the computer.
Open the folder you extracted to the C drive and double click “step1-windows.bat” and wait for it to finish.
Once you see the menu on the phone come back up, navigate to BOOTLOADER and push power, then navigate to RECOVERY using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select and the phone should boot to the ! screen.
Now on the computer double click the “step2-windows.bat” file and wait for it to finish.
Now you should see a custom recovery screen, using the optical trackpad navigate to Wipe and push on the trackpad to select it. Then navigate to Wipe data/factory reset and select that.
Once that is done, push volume down to go back to the main menu and select Flash zip from sdcard and select the rootedupdate.zip file and wait for it to flash. All done, you have root access and can use any root required app! Enjoy!

Wow..this looks clearer than the other one i might try again.
After 4+hours lastweek I gave up following the other thread ...
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

If only Alpharev got S-OFF for >1.00...

Is the procedure for rooting H-BOOT 1.01 the same as 1.00 then? Is it the same as my guide? (www.chirag.co.uk)

so where's the part that u should install android 2.1 <1.31 RUU ?
you have prepared for downgrade and haven't done the actual downgrade part... are u sure that nothing's been left apart in your guide?

and that is why it is called made easy
no need to install 2.1 RUU

confirm this guide is working!!! so much easier to follow than the other thread!! thanks so much.
but i just dont understand do we need to use our goldcard somewhere in the rooting process ? i mean i did make goldcard but then i dont know if i have to leave it in the phone while doing rooting or not. anyway, now i have cyanogen 7.0.3...

u mean u fail while using "step1-windows.bat" ?
so I think u didn't follow the previous step correctly
did u uninstalled any previous HTC sync and re-installed the included version ?

thx, just follow your step...
and i have Rooted my legend

Thanks i got it to work anyway, I didn't have Bootloader driver installed. However, this guide is pretty similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208377
With the screenshots help on that link, makes this guide even easier.
Thanks.

i was about to root a friends legend yesterday but also got stucked in step1-windows.bat, i succesfully downgraded to 1.31 and he has 2.1 instead of froyo now. But as i said, couldn´t get any further. Why is all the guides different, some guides you should open the RUU file in the computer, not in this guide. How do i know when to make that step or not

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
lost 2 full evenings with other guides and finally made it with this guide at the 1st try!!
Mistakes i did in the past (maybe that's why i didn't make it):
- SD Goldcard formatted FAT and not FAt32
- Working ADB.exe is in \platform-tools folder and no longer in \tools folder. So I extracted the 'hack for legend' in \platform-tool but in order to enable ADB.exe to load from any folder I added as Windows PATH folder also the \tool
also
- I run CMD with Admin rights in Windows7
- Had to run Visionary couple of times
- had to run point 12 couple of times

[Q]

hey all..so im a total noob at this and im so lost right now..i am trying to s off this htc holiday,,
this is where i am at so far...i have restored to factory flash from this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013122
i then did the htc dev unlock and rooted the phone using this method 2) S Off the device (Juopunutbear/WildChild)
- MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON A STOCK ROM WITH AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
- Download the WCXJB ROOT PACK zip below to your desktop and UNZIP it
- On your phone, make sure in your settings, USB Debugging is ENABLED in development
- Turn off your phone, turn it back on my holding power + volume down
- Use the volume rocker and power button to select fastboot
- Connect your phone to your PC
- Inside the WCXJB ROOT PACK, click shift + right click and select "Open command window here"
- Enter in these commands without the quotes
- "fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img"
- Now you can boot up your phone
- Download and put Vivid_CWM_Root_VER2 zip file on root of internal sdcard (aka NOT in any folders)
- Boot into H-Boot like you did before (turn off phone, turn back on holding power + vol down), and use the volume rockers to go to "recovery" and press the power button to select it
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select the VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip through recovery and then reboot your phone
- You are now ready to S-OFF
i have su and root checker comes back rooted..
but in the superguide it says i should now flash kernal and matching rom???? i wont be stock then so how can i s off???
after gaining my root the way above i ran control bear and this is what i get.first pic..second pic is my menu if it helps..
any suggestions or a good walk through maybe..thanks alot eh..been at this two days..all i wanna do is s off..
have been following the step guide here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836

Did you do the 2nd part of the instructions you posted?
"Download and put Vivid_CWM_Root_VER2 zip file on root of internal sdcard (aka NOT in any folders)
- Boot into H-Boot like you did before (turn off phone, turn back on holding power + vol down), and use the volume rockers to go to "recovery" and press the power button to select it
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select the VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip through recovery and then reboot your phone
- You are now ready to S-OFF"
The CWM (ClockWorkMod) is a back up utility. It is what comes up when you select Recovery (right under Fastboot). I suggest you run it once you achieve your s-off. It will back up your phone onto the MicroSD card you've put in near the battery.
On another note:
I suggest you flash to Super CID once you get s-off to work. I had to try 4x or 5x to get the wire trick to take for s-off, but it did work in the end.
super CID allows you to flash any rom from any country without issue.
Here's what mine looks like:

yes i did the second part i have superuser now..and it did authenticate root checker, so its working..kinda why im stumped..
and Controlbear finds device and doesnt give root error just the one mentioned in pic..ty for reply and help btw...

Ensure USB debugging is enabled in your settings (under Development tab).
Go into the SuperUser program (in your apps) and tap to update the binary file.
I suggest running the Control Bear process again and of course the wire trick when it tells you to.
I was rooted and had CWM installed before I tried to s-off.
Check your Recovery. It should look like this:
If your recovery does not, I suggest running the install of it again.
You sound as though you're 1/2 way to getting the s-off done. Stick with it.

I can't explain how to fix... but your problem is you're not able to grant root via ADB...
I know one solution is to use faux's kernel

yep thats my recovery..used it to flash the vivid cmw..
and yep debugging is on or control doesnt find device..

No... just because and can see it... doesn't mean you have root...
Like I said... you can most likely fix it by flashing faux's kernel...
I think 'adb remount' is the command to check for root via adb
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2

i flashed with grouper-faux123-reset-kernel-4.1.2 and i still have the same error in pic above in controlbear??
anything else i can give a try?thanks

is it possible to use a rooted rom and still s off?

you flashed a nexus 7 kernel.........

ok ty..my phone still works lol..flashing back to stalk now..starting over thanks eh...
if i had have flashed with proper flash think it would have made adb root?

reflashed to stock rogers ruu..rooted with wcjxb and vivid cwm...then flashed boot.img(faux) from darkraider 155. im still getting the original error in control bear about secondary backup...whats to do??

Did you ever launch the SuperUser app and update its binary as I suggested previously? It may not help, but it sure won't hurt.
You'll know for certain if you're rooted if you can do that.

morning..yes i tried the su update..is this proper in the pic..
i can fastboot adb devices and fastboot devices. when i try adb remount it returns an error tho..im stumped...
thanks for all the help here btw..i made a mess around here a lil..

If anyone went to http://www.unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm recently, it explains you have to do use Ubuntu 12.04 (and newer) 32bit only, and the guides here are out dated, I went from the s-off method here, to s-on, and ran Ubuntu and s-off'd again using the updated method and I have less problems than I did before.

read that but ive read windows version should work?? hmmm ill try the process on another machine running ubuntu or 7..
thanks

It should work. I've been using the original method for about a year and 0 problems.

5. Now copy the “ CWMRecovery_D500_Philz.img” to that folder.
6. Rename the file to “recovery.img”.
7. Download ADB and extract it to to C:\android
8. Turn off the phone.
9. Now turn it on by pressing Volume down key+”-” key+Power button.
10..With the help of volume keys select “Fastboot” by pressing the power key.
11. Connect your Desire 500 to your PC and install all the required drivers (htc drivers, so pc can read and write on phone).
12. Now open command prompt and go to: c:/android
13. Now type “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”.
14. Power off your smartphone.
15. Power it on by holding volume down+ “-” +power button.

This is the risk of rooting the phone! You have to know surely what you're gonna do, else you'll have a messed up phone. After rooting, I strongly advise to do a backup under CWM recovery, this way you keep your chance to revert everything back to the initial status.
Now folow other steps and you will be rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
Good Luck.

I think this is not a full root acces method and there isn't now for the time being. This is partial root, might want to wait with this procedure some time after will have more support for your device.
Sorry I cn't help anymore.
Try google it or search the forums, might be some more helpfull links for you because this device is a bit new and has to grow a comunity.

[SOLVED]Any hope?

So i was trying to get my at&t htc one back to 100% stock so i could send it in for warranty. I got my replacement htc one, but while in the process of going back to stock something happened the phone wont load into recovery, when it boots into the os it stays at the htc screen but plays the at&t boot animation sound, and to top it off the old phone wont connect properly through usb (the new one will just fine). So i am stuck in bootloader anyone have any ideas?

I don't know what you mean by I pushed the FUU and flashed it. do you mean you flashed firmware?
If you flashed a custom hboot with no red text you will brick the phone when you lock the bootloader.
Don't lock bootloader !!
Use this tool to remove Tampered and set to Locked

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538585
MD5: fdb8264a8f4741bae22939cd7734f7c2
at this point just flash the AT&T RUU
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
and see where your at.
From the Guide you linked
Before you can proceed with the 2 following threads for removing Tampered and then Locking you need to have Superuser installed. There are links to how to do this in each thread. You can also use this toolkit. Just remember to delete the SuperUser and busybox apk if installed before you return the phone.
2. - First remove the Tampered Flag. Instructions are in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3. - Second Lock the bootloader. Instructions are in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
The older REVONE commands/instructions for Tampered and Locking:
Now since you had to install SuperUser to perform the previous 2 steps make sure you unroot by deleting the Superuser.apk and busybox.apk (If installed) from the /system/app folder and also the su binary from /system/xbin on your phone.
If you ran a RUU your systems firmware and software is all reset back to stock. If you restored via Stock ROM reset or Nandroid you should be running the stock software but it could be on non stock (version mismatch) firmware.
In either case your bootloader should display Locked and no Tampered just like out of the box. Now all that’s left is to S-On. To do that issue this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Done - device should be just like it was out of the box with no indication of any modding.
*******I am not responsible for any problems you encounter. I am simply informing you of what is needed to complete a restoration to Stock. Read all steps and commands carefully and perform them in the correct order.********

are they both windows 8 computers ?
Windows 8.1 and hboot 1.44 don't get along
you'll have to use a driver hack to get it working

Both windows 8.1 like i said the weird part is one phone works perfect through usb the old one (the one i need to work) doesn't

yeah .. here's the driver hack to make it work
Download
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

It Works I been using it for over a year

Ok thank you very much i will try this when i get home from work tomorrow and hopefully its works for me then i can just follow the guide you posted to get back to stock then all will be good

im still getting the same issue with the drivers i made sure to manually install the files but still no luck.

Have you tried a Linux live boot disc? If you have troubles with Windows drivers, always fall back to Linux as it will always work if the device isn't faulty.

all you have to do is install the driver I linked reboot the pc
put the phone is fastboot USB mode and plug it into the pc.
if it's still not visible with fastboot devices
go to device manager find the failed driver / Unknown device
choose update driver / Browse for Driver / Let me Pick / uncheck show compatible hardware
Choose HTC on the left and My HTC Version 2.0.7.22 on the Right. ...Click next / click done ..

ok so i got it to work in fastboot now as for getting back to stock i am on hboot 1.55 and the os will not boot now i can flash the hboot 1.44 that you linked and i can use the gruu bootloader to get the tampered and set to lock (should i do this with having no working os on the phone?) and once you run the RUU.exe doesnt the phone need to be booted up and into the os? with usb debugging enabled or can i run it with it in the bootloader or fastboot? i just want to make sure im clear before i attempted to go through and do this again lol

From HTC ..ignore the t-mobile
Manual system update instructions:
If you are outside of T-Mobile/Wi-Fi coverage, or the update is not found, you may perform a manual system update. This process requires that you download and install HTC Sync Manager first in order to get the proper drivers. If you do not have HTC Sync Manager installed already, you may download the software from http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/.
WARNING: Performing the system update manually will delete all information from the device. Ensure all information is backed up before proceeding. See the Help & How To section of this website for more information on backing up your device contents.
Performing the ROM Update:
1. Download and save the HTC One™ for T-Mobile ROM update to your PC.
2. Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
3. If the device is not recognized by the PC, ensure you have HTC Sync Manager installed and then disconnect and reconnect the device from the USB cable.
4. Once the device is properly recognized on the PC, locate the HTC One™ for T-Mobile ROM Update that you downloaded. Double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.
5. Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.
6. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.
7. Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.
8. Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.
Note: If the ROM update wizard fails to recognize the device, close the wizard and then follow the steps below:
· From a powered off state, hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the device.
· Use the volume buttons to scroll to FASTBOOT and then press the POWER button to select it.
· Connect the device to the PC while in this state and attempt the ROM update again.
To exit FASTBOOT manually, use the volume keys to navigate to REBOOT and press the POWER button to select it.

find kingo root bootloader unlocker and be sure your pc has htc drivers and drivers for android 1.0 (which connect phone also in boot loader mode)
