Best way is to unlock the boot loader... Make sure you backup your important stuff... The unlock will wipe your phone...

Hey guys,
I'm new here, but I was wondering if you could help me. My HTC Legend is still running on 2.1, and I really want froyo. I'm thinking of rooting my Legend, but I first wanted to know how hard it is to unroot my device (for the OTA from HTC) and which ROM I should pick, I'm thinking of the Cyanogen Azure but maybe you guys know a better one.
Thanks!
Should be moved to "General"

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to root it tomorrow
Unlocked and rooted, S-on still. Was tweaking my stock Sense ICS ROM, Got it to were I kinda wanted it.. Installed some new fonts, It performed a back-up, Then while "installing" the fonts.. The system became buggy, laggy and eventually frooze so I turned it off.. Now it gets to the AT&T screen and freezes. I've tried "Factory Reset" with no luck at all. What can I do to fix this?
I want a new custom ROM, But without S-off it's kinda tricky. Is there a tutorial anywhere I could use? I was thinking obviously ICS (MAybe JellyBean if there is a port) but WITHOUT SENSE. I want a de-sensed rom.)
Thanks
Relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file for ics , once its done just start over
Easiest way is get the hansoon2000 tool kit take ya 10 min and you will be back where you where .

First of all, you will need to unlock your bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com. This is a fully documented procedure by HTC and if you are unable to read, learn and use this procedure, then you should reconsider trying to mod your phone.
The best way to get beyond the confusion is to read, study and learn.
Htc dev not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Thanks for your reply. May I ask please what software, programs etc you used to root your phone?
Many thanks
First trough HTC dev site unlock your phone. Then install CWM on your phone. You can find total guide in this forum.

Hey guys
Im sure I'm not the only one who's thinking this but I really wish I purchased the original mini. The reason for this is the only ROM at the moment for this device is CyanogenMod and nobody seems to be making one. Anybody else feel this way?
Also just in case are you involved or do you know anyone making ROMs for this phone?
Thank God that we have at least cm.... I agree with you, and since I have this phone from July, I have been asking for roms since the first day, but this device isn't so popular yet... Vi there are kernels and mods, better than nothing. This forum sometimes is dead for weeks, I wouldn't be surprised that there is no interest in development
You guys really want a custom rom ?

Absolutely.... Preferably lollipop xD
@Will972 is one of the biggest contributors, as he gave us stock roms for every update
A sense rom based on lolipop will be planed soon on 2015 .. we must first have a kernel dev for a possibility to have it earlier but we don't have it.
The only thing we can have is a custom rom with 4.4.2 base
I just miss xposed since there is no idiot rooting guide.
I will make a rom with some stuff like xposed and sense 6.0 toolbox and maybe harman kardon mod instead of boomsound

I know rooting a HTC is not as easy as rooting a Samsung but still it is not hard. The most annoying part is unlocking the bootloader, but even this is easy, but killing time. Once this is done, you need 2 files: twrp recovery

HI indy140
You are not the only one thinking this, read my Statement(s) under Johann A. Sutter in this Forum!
I have made the same experience, for some reason or another it is obviously, that it is not so interesting (or to complicated) for developers to keep them busy with this device!
Good Luck, I'm keeping myself busy, to buy another one, looking before, if there are already valuable possibilities, to be my own Boss about my property.
