Can some one tell me if I am right here. If I do not have S-Off then to update to ICS I have to rip the imgboot file from a ICS Rom and install that first. Is this right.
Never Mind I found my answer in another post.

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.
Hi.
Before I spam up more of the ROM threads I figured I'd better make a thread.
I'm at 2.2.1 with Voodoo Lagfix and Soundfix Kernel right now.
I want to upgrade to Gingerbread or one of the more functional ICS Roms.
Now in all the threads about them I don't see anything about Bootloaders, Firmware and so on.
My Question:
What do I have to flash and in what order?
I figured bootloader>firmware>ROM+RADIO?
Will the old ROM(2.2.1) work with the new bootloader?
The situation is kind of bad since my phone is my only source for internet right now, so KIES for basic stock upgrading is out of question.
I want to reconfigure my apps and all that stuff anyway so a backup will of course be done but is not necessary.
Thanks for reading and maybe some other people coming from 2.2.1 or lower will also find help here.

use the above link .. be sure to click on update bootloader .. as you are coming from froyo rom to GB rom so you need GB bootloader.. rest of the odin settings will be as shown in the video in the link
Thanks for your reply.
I hope you don't missunderstand me but I don't want to just follow a tutorial, I want to know what I am doing.
And this tutorial is basically telling me "use that PIT and that PDA" and boom.
But what about the bootloader? Does this change the Kernel?

.pit file contains the information of how to partition your space, if you choose .pit file in odin, you'll have to click repartition otherwise its not needed..
for details about all file types you can just google...
The guy in video didn't check bootloader because he was flashing from a GB rom only.. when you are coming from a froyo rom, you'll have to check the bootloader option as it'll be required to run GB rom otherwise you may end up in a boot loop..
The kernel that comes with the rom will be flashed... so the kernel you have now will change

Yes, it's possible and the same procedure as with any GB ROM. Important is that most ICS ROM's are still in beta, nobody can and will guarantee anything.
Sorry, you can but you need the GB Bootloaders

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong on getting this fone back to stock. So whats the best way or the easiest way.I read so many posts I'm really confusded now. If someone can break it down step by step It would be great..
Are you trying to revert to stock Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich?
Well I want to update to ics and I read to switch back to stock first then update.

To go back to stock gingerbread go here:

Read the second post, I believe it is step 6. It will get you back to gb.
Then go here:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_v....502.56_US.exe
It will allow you to download the ruu for ics and run it. If you have questions about rooting, etc. post them up and we will help get you there.
THANK YOU very much.. i finally got and i did the update through att.
now with the 2nd thing u said do it through the fone or pc cuz they both say fine not found.
now can i do any ics mods without being rooted?

If you are in ics no need to do the second step. Just remember to root the phone, custom ROM, etc. you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Also here is a good source for custom roms:

Hi Guys, been reading up on Android for a while and have to say you guys are awesome some really great info in here.
i just have one quick question if someone would be so kind to help.
i was awaiting the ICS update and checking the Facebook page (and here). wasnt feeling experienced enough to do the whole root and mod stuff yet (hopefully soon)
but on the facebook page. i noted this link for a simple official upgrade
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/424364/how_update_your_samsung_galaxy_note_ice_cream_sandwich/
i followed the procedure (perhaps very stupidly)
came straight here to see what new magic i could make
and saw the "Public Service Announcement"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938
did i screw up here guys? kinda freaked! if so....should i revert back. is that an easy thing to do?
maybe im reading too much into it
thanks the help ill be sure to thank anyone
You should be fine. This is really affecting what seems to be the rooted version with chain fire. I have the official stock lpy and have no issues. So I would just recommend staying where you are at the moment and don't attempt to root or go into cwm.

lol you just freaked me out aswell, but i guess this has nothing to do with the official stock Germany ICS release, right!? Cos i Flashed it yesterday and its working great so far!!!!
Or is this something that can happen down the line?
The announcement is for ICS repacks from previous leaks
+1 ! i'm also hesitant on rooting and flashing because i'm too busy at the moment and can't be bothered with a bricked phone.
The announcement you're refering to is quite old though and concerns ICS repacks that were built using leaks while the official G-Note ICS from Samsung was still under development.
If you flashed your phone using the official ICS downloaded from samsung directly you shouldn't have any problem.
Also, i'm not 100% sure about this but i think flashing (even an official and clean stock rom) can go dreadfully wrong (=bricked phone) if there's a problem (like a powerfailure or computer crash or if your cat jumps on your phone and disconnects the cable) in the very first phases after you launched the operation. That's when the program installs all the required boot files on the phone and if those are missing, it just will never turn on again.
I also asked some folks in another post on the forum and they assured me that most roms are safe to flash if they we're built from stock roms. So since GB has been out for so long, it's pretty much safe to flash any GB-based custom rom. Now that ICS is out, it'll be pretty safe to flash custom ROMs based on ICS in a month or two i guess.
I'm too inexperienced to give advice but i think you'll be fine. Hope the above info was useful.
Yesterday i have updated my htc one from official 4.1 to official 4.3 ...but i am not haptpy with the rom..
So i want to downgrade my htc one from official 4.3 to official 4.1 ...i am a beginner and i dont know what is odex, ruu...
