Hi
could someone give me a step by step guide to rooting for the first time on an XL Beats please? Which tools do I need, and what rom to get and so forth. I am a computer geek but never rooted before and would like not to have a paper weight htc after my first try
Tried DoomLord, but it keeps saying my Android is not 2.0, where do I get a version of doomlord that works for 4.0++ ?

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.
List of Guides:
How to root the HTC Legend [H-BOOT 1.00]
How to un-root the HTC Legend
Advice on choosing ROM's

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!

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,
I've just checked the guide and everything seems to be working
K I shall try it out again.

I was a annoyed as everyone when the ICS got cancelled for the Desire HD, but i have been reading good stuff about it being available nowe via a ROM from Blackout?
The problem is, I haven't a clue how to do this (not too techy) and I was wondering if there is anywhere I can pay to get this done for me (I live in Liverpool)
Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated, perhaps some kind soul on here may offer to do it for me? (obviously I would pay!)
Just a thought
Thanks
Russ.

That is a very outdated method. The recommended way to get started with rooting, unlocking bootloader and flashing a recovery is by using the AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). Everything required can be found in the link I attached previously.

Yes, AAHK is the best, you need to gather all the needed stuffs and then just sit down letting the computer to the rest!! After you are rooted and s-offed, just download the rom and flash it from recovery!! Its easy!!
Every time I run the upgrade manager from the phone, the update stucks halfway and I have to pull the battery
Some pro here knows a alternative way to upgrade and could help me? Maybe with some written instructions??
Bootloader LOCKED Runnymede Put ship s-on Radio -3822.10.10.12_M eMMC-boot
An alternative would be if someone could instruct me how to repair the current installation Android 2.3.5 1 05 401 4 with sense 3.5
Plz someone help me

You make it sound so easy but I have nerver done anything like this before. What´s wrong with my build I don´t really know but I guess some file on the phone is missing from unistalling some app or something.
I´ll try to unlock my bootloader, you have a link to how to do it???
Thanks for your input

You know any other wat than htcdev to unlock bootloader??
I´ve followed every step 5 times now and still no unlocked bootloader. My phone is about to have a close encounter with a concrete wall
Hello,
I have an htc one from o2. I want to root it to google edition. Iam a noob at this so can someone show me the way or links to a tutorial please.
Is it worth doing? whats the advantages of a rooted phone? sorry for the questions but i have come from iphone to android so iam new to all this.
thanks
My advice is keep studying, install the sdk and get good at adb and comfortable! Once you're ready and able use a guide for your phone and read it a couple times before you start. Most importantly don't stop any operations you attempt in mid stream follow through and don't reboot until you know it's all good. Hope it's as fun for you as it was for me.

thanks for that, but that means nothing to me.Whats the advantages etc. Is it worth it. i can follow tutorials etc. just need to know what the best guide is etc
If you don't know what the advantages of a rooted phone are and what root means, why are you trying to do it? To be honest I don't even understand your post - do you want to root your rom, have a rooted google edition rom or fully convert to a google edition phone?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
sorry for the confusion. Like i say im new to this.
I dont know the difference, i know rooting that you can put custom roms on it, but whats the difference and best, do fully make it google edition or put a custom rom on?

First off, you don't need to be rooted to flash a custom rom - all you need is a custom recovery after you unlock your bootloader. A good guide for noobs to read is the one by mike1986 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
If I were you, I'd stick to just flashing a google edition rom to see if you like it, rather than doing a full conversion. This way you can easily get back to stock. This rom is 4.3 Google edition and already rooted:

Read the guide above carefully though. Especially the parts about backing up stock, or you'll be back here later asking for help..

If you want to know what is advantage of root your system. it is important there are a lot of program that they need to access you system, such Lucky patcher, Room Toolbox, any proxy programs and etc. i have rooted my phone 2 years ago, and don't have any problem till now.
