[SIMPLE GUIDES] How to root/un-root the HTC Legend + Install ROM's [H-BOOT 1.00]

Rather than looting half of London, I spent my time giving something back to the Android Community.
I've compiled this guide on how to root the HTC Legend vodafone. It's pretty simple in my opinion and I've tried to make it as easy to use as possible. I have included a lot of images and started right from the beginning.

I think I've added in all the credits, but if I haven't then please tell me. I'm also making more guides for noob Android users.
Thanks for using the guide, and if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
N.B. Guides have since been taken down due to newer methods of one-click rooting.

I just rooted a day before you posted and believe me this are the steps I followed...and woo..its rooted
I hope this post is made a stickied

Very nice, and lots of pics! It should help a lot of people out.

Thank you. When I tried to root my HTC Legend, I couldn't find a proper guide, so I thought I'd make one to help other people out.

Hi Thanks i just swap my iphone with htc legend from my gf and planning to root the phone. this would be my only guide, hopefully no issue will happen and i will report back. the guide looks good and simple but the only thing i find is, TOO many files needed. maybe i can combine all of them and put in 1 place to help other newbies !
but i still shock to see number of files i need to root an android ! and the files are sooo big aswell ! different from iphone, you just need a website or 1 software to jailbreak it hehehehehe - relax im an android fan boy now !

Every Android device has its own rooting method. The one of the Legend is really long; but don't worry. It's not that hard as it seems. Also this guide is really good!

i actually has hboot 1.0.1 and reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465 is very confusing. can someone point me to easier guide just what mafuzzer done with hboot 1.00 ? thanks alot.

Error 140 means that you need to re-create the GoldCard. Your phone must also be connected as, "Charge Only". You could also try plugging your phone in another USB port. Also check that you have AndroidSDK installed.

Added another guide with some advice on choosing ROM's. I'm also working on a simple un-root guide.

How do I check hboot version - my gf has a legend

Hi! Thank you for posting such an amazing guide! But one problem that I am experiencing though, is that why are the images unable to be viewed?

Hmm,

HTC HD7 Bell *unlocked*

hey awhile ago I bought an HTC HD7 phone off of a guy that brought it from the UK, so the phone had no 3g! (only edge) BUT I could do everything else even tethering or internet sharing, so I found the edge super slow and annoying so I bought a bell phone unlocked it and is working with 3g, BUT the option to use the internet sharing is MISSING! WTF? and ontop of that I get the dissappering keyboard sh*t! what I would like to know if this ALL BELL fones doing this or just MINE? and can I fix this? thanks

man you guys are slow at answering, isn't there anyone else here who has a bell htc unlocked that can answer? I know there is some of you who do! c'mon help out!

Bell Unlock
Hi...
Ive have a sim unlocked HD7 phone since Sept 2011 using a Bell sim card.
The phone was bought in Toronto and was new when purchased..The Store clerk informed me it was a Telus phone originally.I too waited eagerly for the Tethering option to come in updates..The last update 7740 was supposed to include tethering...However it appears that the Providers have not allowed this to be part of the update.. Bell HD7..Rogers Samsung Focus.. It seems we will have to do our home work here at XDA and use one of these great Roms here that include tethering.. LOL i just have not got up the Dingles to attempt it...
Hope this helps....

thanks bron! I have to say I am really amazed at how b(h)ell cripples these phones! no wonder no one likes going with them or thier service! why on earth would they wanna leave this out when there is money to be made! man they're stupid and bad business minded! and I agree with ya, I would luv to install one of these great roms but I dont have the patience nor dingles to do so!

btw I forgot to mention in my rant that I'm with ROGERS! the fone is a bell fone tho...

Rant
Lol dosn't matter Im with bell no tether..
My Daughters phone is with Rogers no Tether for her focus... Both phones Mango 7740..
The Rant Continues..........

Geez guys, get the phones unlocked, downgrade your spl and start installing custom roms. I've got a bell hd7, I got it unlocked, and used the information in the forums to downgrade sol, and install custom roms. Most custom roms offer tethering. If you follow the instructions you LL be good.. feel free to pm me for any questions or info

Nalgrim,
thanks. There are many Bell HD7 users who have a hard time going through the info looking for details as the Bell stuff is limited.
What do you consider to be the best Rom for Bell users who want to be up to date and have the option of tethering ?
Also, where is our best starting point if we have the most recent 7740 update ? Do we have to go all the back to a NODO factory rom to go to a custom ?

uhm, well its personal choice the "best rom" i've tried eburon, intrinsic, deepshining, dft v2, and nextgen.i am currently on nextgen v2.1, and am downloading the newest version 2.2, I did like deepshining as well.
ill find the links for the guides, and post them, ive uploaded the roms I ve used to my megaupload account, i'll post the links if you guys want to use the "same" files. I dont know how fast it would be for someone to download from megaupload as a guest. go to megaupload and sign up for a free account.
i will try and find a copy of my info before i downgraded.

@be_man36. what's your spl? Put it into bootloader by power off and power back on and hold volume down. After just battery pull. And what mango are u on 7720 or 7740

It was really easy after reading.
follow the link I posted. Make sure you have a good to full charge. Took less than 60 seconds to downgrade the SPL
after that you are free to use any custom rom you want.

[Q] HTC One UK Three Mobile.

Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle!!
I have searched the forums but dont really know too much about what I need so please forgive me if im going over old ground.
Basically Im sick of waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update of my HTC One from 3UK.:crying: As everyone else is getting their update 3UK have changed their tune numerous times about weather the update has been pulled, Is in testing, Is being rolled out or now low and behold its back in testing again. They never give a straight answer and after tweeting them someone else has reccomended changing my CID? to allow me to ge the update.
I have been reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and I was wondering if this is indeed what I need to do. If I follow the instructions in this thread I understand it changes the CID on my phone, but how do I then go about getting the 4.2.2 update?
Where would I get it from and would that affect any future OTA updates. I dont want to root the phone as Im quite happy with Sense 5 I just want to be able to get the 4.2.2 update without having to wait for three to push it.
So basically can I use the procedure in the link above to change my CID. And after doing this where do I then get the update from. Do I then just check for updates??
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Regards,
Chris.:laugh:

Use Revone to s-off and unlock, change CID from H3G__001 to HTC__001, flash the unbranded RUU, updates will appear when available on your device.
Use search for all of the above, unless someone else wants to give you the links..

Thanks so much. Thats pretty much what I needed. So as I know that 4.2.2 is available on my HTC one, once I have done all of the above, I check for updates and it should download?

Don't expect any help on here mate.
I'm in the same position as you.
The reason why Three are taking long is because they're loading it with their logos and bloatware.
Let me know how you get on.
Will let you try it first, will then try it on mine

My mum's a GP, if she ignored all the people who came in asking her the same questions every day, she'd be out of a job and would have some pretty sick patients

OP I appreciate you're new but you could have found the answer to your question yourself without posting this. You won't get any carrier updates from 3 until 3 release them, even if you have superbloodyunicornCID, isn't that obvious? All superCID does is allow you to bypass regional ROM restrictions. The only way you're going to get 4.2.2 before three release it is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a stock 4.2.2 ROM. All you'll probably do messing about with your CID is brick your phone, and then you'll have to spam the forums more.

Hi. You will have to change your CID and whilst doing anything of this nature carries a risk, it's a very low one.
I too was stock brand with 3. Follow one of the many video guides to use revone and get s-off as suggested above. Then download the stock wwe (world wide English) RUU and follow the on-screen instructions. The one I used was a standard 1.28 version. Again, use one of the great guides on here to download adb and change your CID to htc__001. Bear in mind there are 2 underscores there. You're phone will then see a small update and then again will recognise the 4.2.2 update.
That's if you want everything official. Mike1986 has a great guide on all this as does vomer in the android development thread.
If you want to run a Rom using 4.2.2 then it's just as simple, I personally was using mike1986's android revolution.
It all sounds daunting but take your time and follow the guides and you will be fine. It's very difficult to brick these phones.
Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything just in case.

[Q] HTC One Custom Rom to Sprint HTC One

Hello everyone,
Ok I just got the Sprint HTC One.I've done S-OFF, Super-CID, Unlock.
My Questions are:
1) Is there a way to use ROM from HTC One(not Sprint HTC One)
example any of theese: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115#romList
2) And is it only me but if I do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with Non Sprint TWRP , the recovery doesn't load.
any links with nice,stable,battery friendly ROMs will work for me.
Thank you.

If you want a non functioning HTC One flash any of the rom's in the non sprint dev section.

Ok, So with Super CID I should be able to run any RUU? Is this correct
For example I want to use some European non Sprint.Is this going to work

No, you will probably brick your phone.

Alright, you can just answer and explain what actually I can do with SuperCID.
Not to make yourself the smart person here.
Ok, you are right, I will stuck somewhere but that's how we learn...when no one anwers us with real "answer".

dont think super cid is really very useful on cdma phones...

I'm not trying to be the smart person here, I am trying to help you. With super CID you can flash any carriers Rom or RUU, however with Sprint being a coma phone we are very limited so as far as I know having super cid is kind of pointless. Unless someone else knows better.

This is correct. If you read the info in the CID unlock thread it explains everything.
Super CID does allow you to use any RUU, but that doesn't help us as much because Sprint is CDMA, the rest of the varients are currently GSM. However, when the phone becomes available on other CDMA carriers like Boost or Verizon it will be more useful because those will work since they are CDMA as well.

To answer the original questions...
1. Not directly, you'd have to Port them.
2. You need to flash the Sprint TWRP, use either 2.5.0 or 2.6.1. The 2.6.0 version that is floating around is broken.
As far as good tons, I personally havent flashed any because stock, with a different launcher, has worked so well. I read through a lot of the AOSP based Rom threads and there seem to be some issues that need to get worked out before I would consider them strong contenders to the stock stability and features. However any stock roms should give good results, is recommend Viper Rom.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Give the guy a break; the Super CID is confusing to us Sprint users. Even the guy who posted the Super CID didnt realize till later that it wouldnt do us much good. If it isn't clear to you already, DONT FLASH ANY ROM THAT ISNT SPECIFICALLY BUILT FOR THE SPRINT VARIANT. And dont bother with super CID, even if/when boost and other prepaid options become available, I will have a hard time believing that development will skyrocket because of it. I have been working on three different roms for our beloved sprint variant and have dismal failures for going on three weeks. Couldnt figure out why everybody loved stock so much here, but I think I know now.

Thank you guys, now everything is clear for me :silly:
I am going to use my phone in Europe and in my country we use only GSM, we don't use CDMA at all.
Now I am using this rom: 42ONE - The Aftermath
Really Like it and recomend it.
i've tried with viper but more like this one.

[Q] Android Revolution HTC One M8 Sprint?

Has anyone had success flashing Android Revolution for the new HTC ONE M8 but it never reboots. Just jumps back to the fastboot.
It allows me to install my back up but according to the Rom, it is good for all M8's including Sprint but no such luck for me,
The install went perfect save Aroma frustration but I got thru that a couple of times , the message said it was successful but would never reboot.
Even tried to install SuperSU that I am already using but still no luck.
Anyway,
If any Sprint users have any tips, please let me know.
Thanks for your time!

Don't flash ROMs not meant for your phone. You could bork it. To my knowledge, the mount points are not the same and it's a risk flashing. Without an RUU yet, you could potentially be in some trouble if things don't go well

Thank you! I did tweet with Mike1986 when I first had trouble, I did say I was trying on Sprint since it said '" All M8 Models in his post and he did not say it was not Sprint Compatible so I assumed it was. All he asked was if I had Sprint boot.img on my phone. I am not sure what that meant and after searching the net and XDA, still don't know and said I would try other sources for help.
It does seem not seem to work on Sprint, I am almost positive I followed all of the steps, unless there is something completely different from M7 Flashing that I am not aware of. Rooting worked like a charm but as I said before, and thank fully so, after flashing, the phone reboots right back to the fastboot.
It does give you a scare at first as it goes completely dead for a few minutes but then finally shows up in Fastboot and can be wiped and the backup can be applied.
I'll keep looking around for info!
Well, enough said for sure.
Thanks all for your input!

sorry if i sounded harsh and or like a *****, but you have to read thru a thread before flashing any rom, example is like on badseed rom, i'm pretty sure the ack button doesnt work and i found that out by reading the thread, you risk bricking ur fone by blindly flashing :-/

Thank you! I did tweet with Mike1986 when I first had trouble, I did say I was trying on Sprint since it said '" All M8 Models in his post and he did not say it was not Sprint Compatible so I assumed it was. All he asked was if I had Sprint boot.img on my phone. I am not sure what that meant and after searching the net and XDA, still don't know and said I would try other sources for help.
It does seem not seem to work on Sprint, I am almost positive I followed all of the steps, unless there is something completely different from M7 Flashing that I am not aware of. Rooting worked like a charm but as I said before, and thank fully so, after flashing, the phone reboots right back to the fastboot.
It does give you a scare at first as it goes completely dead for a few minutes but then finally shows up in Fastboot and can be wiped and the backup can be applied.
I'll keep looking around for info!
Well, enough said for sure.
Thanks all for your input!
Mike

I completely understand, although I read thru that Rom page at least 4 times before flashing and found no indication it was an International Version or as mike1986 usually says, " apart from Sprint" . Even after I spoke with mike1986, still no indication this would not work on Sprint. Hopefully others will find this thread before trying although I had really no trouble recovering from it. Lucky for that I guess. Anyway, thank you for your input as well. Have a great rest of your day!

hi,
i also tried flashing ARHD with my sprint m8. both v22 and 22.1, i also get a black screen, if i reboot, it goes straight to the bootloader.
i too, thought it would work since it says all variants, and was not specified that SPRINT is not supported. i even asked, and somebody answered that it is.
even anybody had success installing ARHD on a sprint m8, please share what you did to make it work
thanks

Compatibility is only available through 4.4.3 base or 11.X. 4.4.4 hasn't been built for Verizon or sprint yet, it's possible to boot at 4.4.4 but you'll get no signal
