Hi..
I decided to make an "EASY TO USE" unroot guide for the HTC Legend..
Here goes..
First..
If you want to unroot to software version 1.31
... download this file and put it in the root of your SD-card..
- This version can easily be rooted again..
If you want to unroot to software version 2.03
... download this file and put it in the root of your SD-card..
- This version will need a downgrade in order to root phone again..
When the wanted file is on your SD-card turn OFF your phone..
EDIT: *** NB: Reported in that this might not work if SD-card is partitioned with ext-partition. If not working try to use a fat32-only ***
Turn the phone ON while holding VOLUME DOWN..
The phone will detect the LEGEIMG.zip file on the SD-card and
ask you to upgrade..
Select YES.. And wait...
This should do the trick....
Nice and simple. Good work m8.
Good guide. Straight to the point. Keep up the good work.
Is there any way to. Convert the rom. Zip with the ruu to legeimg. Zip
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Yep... extract ROM.zip from RUU and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip.
Hello,
I'm not familiar yet with rooting.
When this procedure is done, will I have a working Legend device ?
Which rom will it be running ?
How could I "upload" CyanogenMod to this rooted legend ?
I've search the web, but I do not get everything yet...
Thank you for your hep !
Yannick
Thanks for the guide, but it doesn't work for me.
"No image or wrong name!" message appears.
I've tried your first link and my own rom.zip renamed to LEGEIMG.zip .

Something had gone wrong, wipe wasn't working and it kept rebooting so I was forced to... once CM 6.1 Stable releases, I'll root it again.

The point is if you have to return it under warranty.
Can someone help me with this? I keep getting an error. I can't flash the LEGEIMG.zip by reboot & vol dn+power nor by clockwork. Tried downloading the file twice, tried my extracted rom.zip and it just doesn't work.
What else can I do?
Can you post md5 of this zip?
What I did was put the file in the root of the SD Card...
Switch off the Legend and switch it on while having the Volume down button pressed. It flashes automatically.

You honestly believe that there are psychics reading these forums?
What error? Does this error have a name? Does it have a description? Or does it just say:
ERROR
...over the entire screen?
Dammit guys, learn to post some useful information!!! If it ain't working, there's definitely a reason don't you think???
Nice work mate, i gott bored, so i tested your guide, worked like a charm
now it's, back to rooting the phone again

Sorry, I wrote about it on the previous page. This message was kind of stupid bump.
Love you too.
It says 'error' tho, before error messages, so you're right. In green tho.
Something like 'Wrong image!', 'Can't find image'. All about LEGEIMG.zip . It dissapears fast.

One of two problems..
1) You did not put the download in the ROOT of your sd- card or
2) you have renamed the file..
One of these things are causing the error..
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
I'm 100% sure I haven't renamed the file and it's in the root (astro file manager shows it in /mnt/sdcard). If ROOT means sdcard top folder then there it is.
edit: clockwork says "Can't open /sdcard/LEGEIMG.zip (bad)". Hence the request for md5 - but I doubt triple download would cause some inconsistency in file.
I got CID incorect error, what does it mean?
hey tell me why i cant flash this recover. in the command said cannot load '/path/to/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-passion.img'
whats wrong with me ? thanks

yes 1st unlock the bootloader i follow on modacco forum
http://android.modaco.com/topic/299078-how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
2nd i wanna flash the custom recovery , i follow on wiki nexus one .
what am i doing wrong ? or step that i take ?
thanks for reply brother
easiest way is to get ROM Manger from market and flash CWM that way.
I would stay away from CWM 3.0 since it's known to cause problems.

yeah ithink like that ,but it needs root ,and im on stock rom 2.3.4 how to root it?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Oh, all this time I though you were already rooted.
Yeah you can't install custom recovery till you root first.
Read the WIKI on rooting
If you have unlocked your bootloader (I think that is what you said earlier?), then just flash recovery via fastboot like the wiki says...
What part are you struggling with? Are you getting any error messages?

I think you are just copying the command verbatim.
When it says /path/to/recovery.img it literally means wherever you have saved that file on your computer. In windows, it could very much look like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "c:\user\john doe\Downloads\clockworkmod\recovery.img"
Keep in mind, if you are using windows, if the location has any spaces in it, it requires quotes around the whole thing.

Hello,
I think you are my last chance, I have this very specific problem with my Nexus One and can't find any thread on any forum that can help after hours of research:
It's rooted and I have CM7 but after a choc (I thing it's the cause) it reboots and now it's stuck in bootloop.
It happens to me once and i fixed it by flashing with fastboot.exe (i was very lucky this time) but it doesnt work anymore and i don't know why.
My power button is broken so I can't unlock bootloader, I have S-ON and I have read that it can be a problem to use fastboot to flash (I have an error message in the command prompt like this: FAILED: remote not allowed)
If i write "fastboot devices" my Nexus one is recognized so I don't understand why it doesnt work...
If you have any suggestions I take it with pleasure!
(sorry if my english is not perfect)
Thanks.

I have the same problem, I also tried all the command for Fastboot and got me no where.
My problem started when I install Darktemor(If I spelled it right) A2SDGUI and press something for Dalvik and Cache, my phone reboots and got stuck at bootloop forever. I searched the entire net for tutorials, and I tried almost everything and still no luck.
I always have this error code at Fastboot:
"FAILED <remote: not allowed>"
PLEASE! Someone help me, I want to fix this on my own. 'Cause it'll cost me a lot if I have someone fix it for me. Please, i'm begging. Help me. Huhuhu
I have MIUI Rom Installed on my phone, i'm not sure with the version of it. Sorry!!
Please help me guys! Super thank you in advance.
Thank you all
I had the same problem. i followed the instructions as posted in the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials#ADB.2FFastboot.2FBootloader

But my last question, is there a way to restore my data ? like the SMS and the call log? and can I update again to CM7?

I'm still interested, what method of the link do you use? PASSIMG method?
So i'm stuck in this step: 3.Transfer the provided PASSIMG.ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
How do you go to the root of the sd card if the phone is in bootloop?
Thanks!

By putting the µSD in another (working) phone and connect it to the computer, or by using a µSD adapter which also must be connected to the computer.
It finaly works, after many month i can finaly use my Nexus One... Now it's my new Desire S that have a problem :laugh:
Thanks for helps, this thread is finaly resolved!

How do I root an HTC One GE on a Mac? I'd like to do so before I set up the phone tomorrow. Done some googling and couldn't find an answer. Did my N4. Is it the same files/procedure?

Just make sure you get the HTC One recovery and not the N4.. based on your lack of knowledge, based on your multiple questions, I would hold off a bit though.. as far as I know there isn't a confirmation as to if the recovery from the normal One is compatible with the GE One. I could be wrong though

Thanks. I guess I'll hold off. I figured there had to be some custom files and that they arent all plug and play. Thanks for your help. I'll prob wait a couple weeks. I just wanted to do it immediately to avoid having to wipe again.

You don't need to wipe for a recovery. When you get the device and its good to go, go into fastboot and type
"fastboot oem unlock"
Then after you unlock it reboot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.. then hold off for recovery. Once your unlocked you no longer are required to wipe for anything

Rooted using a combination of instructions. Pleased to say it worked. Only problem I have had so far is that on one occasion it told me I was not rooted, when in fact I was. A reboot fixed that problem.

When it tells you to update, don't listen to it. Instead, download a rom (which is based off the new update) from the Android Development section, copy it to your SD card and install it with TWRP. Be sure to factory reset before you do

To update via OTA you must be on the stock recovery. Custom recoveries will not install OTA. Best bet is to run RUU as mentioned.
