EDIT :Successfully rooted my phone via changing the microSD card, did the downgrading process, Goldcarding and rooting process from scratch and it worked!
Hi , i have just created an account after failed rooting on countless tries , i tried all the methods the forum gave me ... so i just opted to create an account to post about this problem im having ...
ok , i downgraded successfully , running ROM ver 1.31.405.5 , my HBOOT is 0.43.00001 , MICROP-0816 ,RADIO-7.05.35.26L, LEGEND UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON so i should be fine to start rooting right?
i followed MaDaCo's Steps and failed numerous times at step 2 , the green recovery window wont show itself! then i found other guides where it says do not remove the goldcard after step 1 as shown here
youtube.com/watch?v=SQzo6qahctk
this is my step 1 proceedure in the CMD :
Legend Root Step 1
Erasing cache and rebooting in RUU mode...

rebooting into bootloader... OKAY
Step 1 complete - now use the bootloader menu to enter recovery mode.
To do this, press the power button, wait a few seconds, then use the volume keys
and power button to select the RECOVERY option.
so i followed the Unlockers way now ... not removing the goldcard and going straight into Recovery mode ( the triangle with the ! sign ) and started Step 2 in CMD :

While in Recovery Mode , i pressed volume up + power i would get a small blue recovery window , at the bottom it says "E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command"
it will be there no matter what, even before doing step 1 or 2 , i went to recovery mode afew times to check what is wrong and would always see THAT message ...
so can anyone point out what is wrong ? Q.Q
THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU HELPED ME !! , im currently stuck on ROM 1.31 , i cant upgrade to later versions of rom for some reason. so its me rooting this legend or nothing
Edit again : about this error :
sending 'zip' (121756 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Too many links))
i re-downgraded , tried the rooting process again , and this error did not show up, the process itself was identical to what i posted above. Main problem lies in step 2 where the green recovery windows dont pop up ... i suspect that after "pushing" the 31 files , there needs to be more "pushing" of files to SD card but failed to do so? :/
have exactly the same problem like you.dont know what to do.
its been a full 20hours i posted this , still no help ;(?
Looks like the connecting is gone to your phone, try DroidExplorer
http://de.codeplex.com/
It will install also the drivers for Windows what is needed to connect to your phone. The phone is changed for Legend Htc to normal Droid, so Windows is also needed other drivers.
This is not executed yet:
adb-windows.exe shell busybox --install /sbin
echo.
echo Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes...
echo.
adb-windows.exe shell mount /sdcard
adb-windows.exe push rootedupdate.zip /sdcard
echo.
echo Now wipe and apply rootedupdate.zip from the recovery image menu.
echo.
adb-windows.exe shell nohup /sbin/recovery &
nope, doesnt work for me , can connect to my device but cant do anything else , cant copy over root files / music , whatever ;/
what os do you have?
i have win 7 64 bit. could this be the problem?
Edit :
have a question...
can i just install this version here without a root? so that im back to normal? I know that i cant get the root after this.
[ROM]RUU_Legend_Vodafone_AU_2.10.178.1_Radio_47.39.35.0 9_7.08.35.21
im using windows 7 X64 also ...
about that rom , i dont know. im very new to android , why does other people root to easily and we rot with problems T^T
i think read on other threads that it is a 30 % chance that it wont work with win 7 64 bit. maybe we have to try for example on xp Mode.
i wanted to try azure but i think now that im also happy if i can get it back to normal
Same here. Sometimes another error! I'm using windows 7 x86
Quick update ;
I successfully rooted my phone by changing SDcards , i did the downgrading , goldcarding and rooting process from scratch !
make sure you do the goldcard again as the same image wont work for the changed gold-card.
and a tip : if you see errors in step 1 ( 2 sending errors ) , be persistant and keep trying! for me i kept getting an error but after 5~6 tries of constantly starting step1 , it worked!
for step 2 , make sure u can push the 31 files and it should give you a message "pushing files to SDcard , it may take afew minutes" it should take about 30~50seconds ( or more ;/ ) it should not be instantanous! with things like could not connect to daemon or whatnot .
Congratz
I'm trying with another sdcard right now...
When pushing the files in step 2 i now have a new error.
after a few files it says, protocol failure
it gives me the error on windows 7 x86 and windows xp x86
any idea?
i also had that error , again , try to be persistant! keep launching it until you get the results wanted , u may want to try rebooting ur phone if it doesnt work after 10~15 tries
This is a guide on how to flash lg gt540 with android 2.1 open europe edition (there are also uk and orange roms) with integrated fastboot.
Things you'll need:
rom with fastboot:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828003
lg gt540 hacker :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812308
(actually you only need KDZ_FW_UPD program , but the original program is in russian the program inside lg gt540 hacker is translated into english)
if you want quarx 2.1 black edition then
quarx system.img:http://rghost.ru/2898235
Step 1: Preparing pc
Download and install android sdk
install lg driver:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=INEH3FZS
Note if you aren't using the installer you might wanna copy adb.exe , adbwinapi.dll and fastboot.exe to system32 and register them as paths
Step 2 repare the phone
This step is the easiest just go to applications\development settings and turn on debugging mode
Then backup the data on the phone and you're done
Step 3: FLASHING!
!!!WARNING!!!!
BY FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU'LL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. ALSO THERE IS A HUGE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE BEYOND REPAIR . I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE BY FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTIONS.THE FACT THAT THEY WORKED FOR ME DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY WILL WORK FOR YOU.
Download and extract the rom of your choice from the link above.
Download and extract lg hacker (note lg hacker is not made by me so the credits for it don't go to me)
open start.bat and choose number 6 rom updater.
follow the instructions the program gives you if you don't have mxml sp3 parser
install it .
After the updater starts make sure that windows enabler is runing in the tray
open it if not (it's inside the lg hack folder in rom updater folder)
then click on the tray icon and it should say on click on it again if not.
THIS IS IMPORTANT CHANGE TYPE TO 3GQCT.
ALSO IMPORTANT BEFORE FLASHING DISABLE LGE ANDROID USB MODEM DEVICE IN DEVICE MANAGER
click browse and browse to your rom and select it
wait and hope it works.
click Launch software update .
Wait and hope it works
After flashing is done disconnect and restore your backup
If you want quarx black edition
1. reboot in fastboot (CAMERA+POWER)
2. put adbwinapi.dll , fastboot.exe and system.img in one folder
3. open cmd window in that folder and type : fastboot.exe -w
fastboot.exe erase system
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
fastboot.exe reboot
CONGRATULATIONS
IF YOU FOLLOWED ALL THE STEPS CORRECTLY YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A PHONE WITH QUARX 2.1 BLACK EDITION CUSTOM ROM ON IT CAPABLE OF
OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERCLOCKING AND OTHER THINGS
if you didn't follow correctly and you bricked your phone don't panic
just repeat step3 and change diag mode in kdz flasher to cs emergency.
i hope this helps
Yeah... eh... thanks?!
Dont see any sence of this thread
grazie... from italia.
I know that there exist other instructions like this but those instructions didn't work for me so i posted the one that did

Just some questions:
"After flashing is done disconnect and restore your backup"
How do i restore my backup? And why should i?
"2. put adbwinapi.dll , fastboot.exe and system.img in one folder"
Where can i find adbwinapi.dll ?

How do i restore my backup? And why should i?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For installed apps + usersettings. If u want to reinstall all apps and set them up again, u dont need to backup.
Best apps for this are "titanium backup" or "mybackup".
Okey, thank you!
Followed the rest of the guide and everything works perfect
Thank you! <3
Likewise, everything went well for me just now, thanks for the guide.
It worked perfectly fine for me too. My phone showed the "Emergency" Screen a couple of times, did some reboots and the whole process took quite a few minutes, but I just left it and now it has 2.1 on it.
THANKS AGAIN!

I ran into the bad flash issue and bootloop when attempting to put Jellybean on my Droid. After attempting some nandroid backups I had (which resulted in the no touch issue), I found that CWR is gone and I am back to stock recovery. At this point I've got no touch, stock recovery, and a stock rom (I think).
I have downloaded SBF and ran this command:
Code:
./sbf_flash -r --recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-sholes.sbf MC1_A855_1282081087_Recovery-Only_SPRecovery_0.99.3b.sbf

After reboot, if I go into the recovery again it is still the stock recovery. I am hopeful if I can get CWR back I can try the safe kernel version of Jellybean, but for some reason I'm not getting CWR on it. What am I doing wrong?
Hello everyone, new to this forum. I was trying to flash CM onto my verizon droid sholes using Mac OSX and noticed that the .sbf file in the installation guide for CM doesn't work. I found this post which verified my thoughts.
(Will post when I get 10 posts below)
I followed CM moderator Absolute Zero's advice in that post and this following post he reccommended to try to flash an image of recovery onto my phone for clockwork mod recovery and any sbf:
(will post below when I get 10 posts)
After doing that I got the following error it seemed it failed to flash:

Hello,

Solved it this way.
Do not use Windows 8 PC to flash.
Also, do this. Start SmartFlash and try to flash usual way, it will fail with timeout error.
Do not close the smartflash utility, just repeat the process but before clicking 'Start' insert back your phone's battery. Weird, but will work like a charm.
After battery is in, then start flashing.
Good luck all.
Yes the battery method actually work ;p
