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] How to switch back to Stock-Rom?

Hello Guys,
i want to sell my Incredible S and now its my turn to flash it back to the original HTC-Stock Rom. Till now i used the Android Revolution Rom with a EXT4 Clockwork / Recovery Mode . The Incredible was bought in Germany so the Languange of the Stock-Rom should be German or Multilanguange.
I allready checked this Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
but i dont know which of those roms is the one iam looking for nor how to flash it back. Do i simply use a RUU-Installer or do i flash it like i did with the custom rom?
Thank you for your help!

You can just flash the RUU. I managed to get my phone back to stock that way. Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first. I did not. But use the search function. This question is already asked and answered many times now...
Use the WWE variant...

Hello wallytax,
thank you much for your answer. I realy tried the search-function but i was not able to find a helpfull thread about my question. Sorry about that.
So this one would make it :
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed
?
As much as i understand "WWE" means "World Wide English". Is this also Multilanguange (for german)?
Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first

If i have to do that, how does this work? Could you please post a Link for a tutorial?

Yes the WWE ROM is also multi-language with German.

I used this one:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20 .2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_sign ed
This is the newest Stock rom... Good luck! Hope you will succeed..

Hi Guys,
i tried the RUU-Installer wallytax mentioned. It worked like a charm!
i just had to install HTC-Sync Software and after that the Update went trough without any problem.
Thank you very much!

Make sure your phone is s-on before you sell it.

just got a vivid !! someone guide and help me installing a custom rom ! :)

hey guys !!
just got a vivid !
it is gsm unlocked from at&t and i'm using it in india !
as i just got it, i am a complete noob at it !
i have flashed atrix, thrill, n900, hd2 , etc so i am not a noob at flashing !
i dont want to s-off my device and want to install all the custom roms without doing it
someone pls guide me !
thanks....

Go to the HTC website and find the latest ICS RUU for AT&T and run it. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery (I prefer the WCX one). Then install whichever kernel + ROM. You say you aren't a noob at flashing and such, so I assume you can do that without much hand-holding? If you need more info then follow the guide in my link but only do the steps I just told you above.

Did you even attempt to search or read anything before posting this? Isn't one of the things you agree to when signing up membership here to do exactly that, search and read? Good God guy...

I wouldn't even attempt it without knowing the full ins and outs of what your doing. I would read, read, reread all the issues others have had. Then learn what not to do by those people so you don't end up with a brick. After you have read, read, and reread, and understand then you can attempt it. That's what I done and have never had any issue on this phone flashing anything. Please don't jump the gun and try to do this without reading!

am i good to go ?

That's how I did it...but without posting questions...I'm no expert but I read, searched and reread when migrating from icrap...didn't want to ask questions which have already been answered in other posts...that is what irritates devs...I don't think people mind questions...but at least do your homework first..

Night I recommend looking into the kernel flasher GUI mentioned in the superguide... It's how I flash kernels since I don't do hardware mods...

ok thanks to all the folks who helped me !
i have successfully unlocked bootloader, installed wcx recovery and rooted the phone !
can i flash faux dual core kernel with at&t stock ics firmware, i heard the kernel is very power efficient !
also i saw some roms have written ""s-off only"" so as my device is s-on i can't install them right !!
i know they are too many questions , but i just need to be very sure and safe before doing anything !
thanks...

You can flash faux123's if you would like. I use the kernel myself and can say that it's the quickest, most stable, and most battery friendly kernel I've used so far. You could flash those S-off ROM's as well, you would just need to extract the boot.img from the rom .zip and flash it through fastboot.

Use THIS to root. Make sure you are on ICS though so you have the updated HBOOT
If you want a stock Htc sense 3.6 (The one that is offical for our device) I would recommend Wild Childs WCXbuilds.. You can google WCXxperia for his site.
If you are looking for a newer Htc sense I would recommend Homeslices "BoRKeD" Htc sense 4.1 build
Hopefully that can help ya out.

Although the OP for ARHD 3.01 state that you need BlackRose 2.02.0002 installed, in reality you do not.
There are several members that are running ARHD 3.01 with Revolutionary 6.13, so you simply need to boot into recovery, make a 'nandroid' backup and then you can flash ARHD 3.01.

I was running with revolutionary and it worked fine. I just updated to Blackrose cuz I was bored but revolutionary worked good to.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S

The 6.13 revolutionary bootloader works fine with ARHD.
Be sure to make an nandroid backup incase something goes horribly wrong or you end up not liking the new ROM.
You'll also need to wipe your data partition, as your GB /data partition won't play nice with an ICS ROM. You'll get ridiculous amounts of force closes.

Hey JJ!
Good to see you here mate!
Seen a lot of your good work over on the Play forums
You got yourself an IncS S? and you gonna be dev'ing some roms here as well?
And yeah, like the others said no need to update the HBoot, ARHD works on both.
You could run the super wipe script included in the OP for a hassle free install

Guys, Tried placing the ROM in SD-Card and flashed the ROM as it is but got stuck in Bootloop...
Now what to do? Update HbOOT?

Did you get it working? I'm actually a little surprised I'm not seeing more info in your post. What method did you use to flash, what recovery/version, did you do a full wipe? As there's so many users here confirming it installs with revolutionary hboot, it seems updating that is not the answer, might be an issue with your method.

Trying to setup phone service on modded phone.

This may be in the wrong section, sorry.
My phone is modded with the twrp recovery and i installed skydragon and many other roms because the original os crashed(it broke, I couldn't get in). My question and problem is setting up the carrier(ting) through the custom rom, or if i can't, can a have a stock rom or something to set it up on? i haven't found any that I feel comfortable installing.
Thanks in advanced.

If u want to flash official rom in ur device then just get the firmware and rom file for ur phone model and flash it via htc one m8 toolkit or from hboot. The official roms for m8 are stable and it should not crash.
