Is anyone working on rooting 2.03?

Well, Paul from Modaco isn't really keen on rooting the 2.03 since he is preoccupied with the new devices. I wonder if anyone from XDA is working on it.
Because i really want to use custom roms instead of the stock rom. Didn't like the HTC sense, because it suck up so much ram.
Hopefully, anyone from xda can give us Legend owners some answers.

Have you looked at this forum topic about downgrading HBOOT and RUU? The procedure is for the Desire, but it might work on the Legend too.

I have tryed to downgrad hboot by "The procedure for the Desire" ,but is't not work ,because it's only for rooted phone .
without root ,we can't downgrad hboot
without downgrad hboot ,we can't root

This method should supposedly work on any HTC 2.1 device. If that one doesn't, this one should.
EDIT: typo.

Thanks for the links, I tried about 30 times trying to get the loop exploit to work. Just never would show in devices in recovery mode, followed both guides.

Damn. I was sure one of these was gonna work, since they're both based on the HTC Legend OTA exploit. Just a stupid question, but do you have HTC Sync installed (I think it provides some of the needed drivers)?

I tried both methods on FW 2.03.405.3 but it seems like it does not work in this particular firmware.
device just won't be detected in recovery mode.

what windows version are you using? and what version 32 or 64 bit ?
i had an issue on my hero, i had to use htc 64 bit driver when it couldn't find the phone. I had to go to device manager and select the android driver manually...

yep. Both methods do NOT work with the Bell/Virgin Legend... Device is unable to connect while in recovery mode. Even tried updating/changing the driver... no go. (win7 x64)

that does not work at home either with the 2.03
"error: device not found"

Windows 7 x32 with latest HTC Sync from the website.

i read that if you try downgrading using an official rom from htc to 1.31 of htcs website or somewhere on the forum it will work.
once downgraded to 1.31 you can root and install whatever roms you want.

where ??????
it is impossible

it will work, only if you done the update over OTA. If you done it over RUU it won't work due to the bootloader being upgraded.

Just wait for 10 - 15 second after the device connect to PC, it always work for me. PC will load the driver first, and of course you already install HTC syn.

like i said
If you've done an update from version 1.31.xx.xx to 2.03.xx.xx over the air you can downgrade with the RUU file.
If like me you've used the 2.03 RUU file,well...your screwed,just like me
at this time there is no solution for it yet, and honestly, i don't see anyone bothering with it,trying to find a solution except for all of us legend users. I know that lots of us are attempting to follow every single root guide there is on the web, but the result will always be the same...no success untill a new rooting guide or bootloader downgrade possibility appears... it's sad dude

Did anyone try this method? It's a new method for the Droid Eris, but it should work on all HTC phones with Android 2.1. It's worth a shot..

where did you see that it should work for everybody?
i've been searching the threads and don't see anything about it.

Well, I was able to flash the stock rom from O2 and bring the device back to live. Flashed Olinex 1.40 and BsB.
So I must have flashed the wrong HardSPL in the first place...
Hope you know what to do now...

[Q] Help: How to Revert to Stock WP6.5?

Hey guys,
I've searched everywhere but there's no definitive guide to revert to stock from WP7. Pretty much, I tried out WP7 on my dad's HD2, but he didn't like it. So I need to revert it, but there's so much stuff to know that it all gets pretty intimidating.
Anyways,
HTC HD2 w/ Windows Phone 7 (Using aMAGLDR V1.12 - Build: Jan 12 2001, 21:09:22 - by Cotulla 2011 [this ONLY, no other mods present])
Trying to convert back to Windows Phone 6.5
Using Windows XP
Have d/led Windows Active Sync but it won't connect to the PC even when the USB is plugged in. (I'm guessing this is the reason why I can't revert to stock, it won't even connect to the PC)
I've also d/led the latest stock RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship from the forums.
It looks like I have all the resources but my PC won't even recognize the phone being connected to the computer. Must I do anything else besides attempting to flash the stock ROM?
Thanks A LOOOOTTTTT in advance!

I have the Exact same question anybody help please?

It might be you don't have the drivers installed that are needed, your antivirus could be preventing a connection, I had a similar problem where it seemed that it didn't recognize my phone uninstalled sync when into my bootloader it didn't seem to recognize my phone tasked 29 and it went through without a problem

::BUMP::
PLEASE someone help me out, this is getting soo frustrating, I switched to my laptop running Vista and it still won't recognize it.
I d/led Windows Mobile Device Center and it STILL won't work.
Please anyone.

Enter the bootloader screen then plug phone in and wait for it to say USB at the bottom then flash the stock rom from t-mobile

Do what he says in post above mine.
Or flash using SD-Card method!
Also read the MAGDLR thread dummy, there you also see how to revert back

Will SW upgrade lock my unlocked HD2 to T-Mobile??
Hi
My HD2 from Tmobile is unlocked & am using it in India.

ROM Version :2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
I am planning to upgrade the ROM to 3.14.531.1.

Did you really flash HardSPL (10.95.3000) or DangerSPL (1.33.2005) ?
HardSPL shouldn't be any problem, because it supports the same radio versions as the standard-SPL.
If it was DangerSPL with the wrong radio, you have a brick and the only chance to recover is JTAG ...

Problem installing HTC HD7 HSPL / RSPL

Hello to all ..
My problem is that here ..
In a few words I wanted to install in my HTC 7392 with node HD7 SPL Bootloader 4.5 and unlocked the rom modified mango ..
but before you do anything, I had to install HSPL / RSPL in my HTC HD7 ..
I downloaded the "DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1"
I followed a guide ..
MAH reached the point of selecting the SPL, the list of the program reached only up to 3.4 ..
so my HD7 being with SPL 4.5 you could not do so I tried to install the 3.4 "I did na bull****" ..
so going forward I get an error in the program where it was impossible to go on ..
So I unplugged the HD7 and I tried to do it again ..
MAH OSPL when I open "volume down and power button" not come out as written, but all I get only one written with the words "SS-BC PD29100 (4k) ..
What has happened? knows someone explain why?
I already tried to do the backup but nothing = (..

What does the spl screen say when your in bootloader?
Sounds like you have the 4.xx version.. If that's the case you need to flash an official nodo rom first. The hspl doesn't support spl's 4.xx yet.

if your Bootloader does indeed only have one thing written on it...
then you have half-bricked your device.
according to cotulla, here, it is impossible to recover such devices.
though...
according to dj.95, here, you can recover your device using the goldcard method.
good luck.

But you have to worry about?
What are the consequences?
Is serious?

you didnt read the instructions that are in giant bold letters all over those threads...you had spl 4.5 and tried to install the hspl. youve unfortunately half bricked your phone and currently it looks like it may NOT be fixable at all. try the gold card method listed above, i havent done it or read the thread but briefly but it looks like it may be a work around. unfortunately tho youre phone is BBQ'd.

i don't thing with the goldcard method we recover our device! my device work ok, but don't go to boot usb host mode because bootloader is half bricked! then no gold card works...
(or maybe it's me, that does not access the USB host mode?) ( camera + vol- + power?)

Half bricked possibilities
Hi friends. Do you really know anybody, if goldcard, Zune HTC update, JTAG or something another can solve hb problem? I am also in the "warnings late reading ignorants" club from last weak. But, I got a reply from a single "Half Bricked repairing" service near of Central Europe (GSM-TechNix.de): "Dear Sir, HTC 7 Pro is no Supported by JTAG! Sorry we can not help for this Phone." I have a little idea - to replace only internal information about bootloader version (I have no info on tricolore, but 3.2.2250.0 in Settings/about), connect to Zune and replace HTC update, if it is depend by this number. Is it possible? I have unlocked phone with pre-nodo (older backup has deleted by Zune), then HTC debug application or some homebrew features for values writing can work.
(From another forums:
_________
"Just updated my half bricked phone(bootloader problem) via Zune with HTC update for Windows Phone and the bootloader hasn't been fixed, so our only chance is with XTC Clip or DFT to come with a solution
Actually I got the same problem using an HTC Trophy A1 Version."
________
"For now your/our phone(s) are half-bricked. But as soon as a new update is available - including a new Radio Version everything will work fine again. Had the same problem when debranding my phone. After updating to 7932 via Zune everything was fine again - until I applied the leaked Mango Update.
So again - be patient "
________
"If your device is halfbricked you can use the goldcard method to recover your phone. If it's full bricked you need to make a jTag."
________
"Goldcard cannot repair halbricked WP7 phone."

). Thanks for replies, sorry for my english. M.
