I couldn't wait anymore, seems like the legend is dead in the dev's eyes so I jumped ship and ordered a Desire. They just came out with a 1 click root solution for it...that's just ridiculous and proves the legend is a thing of the past. So long legend, hello Desire!

What is the point of wanting to exchange his Legend cons a Desire ?

lol...your amount of posts says it all... #1

the legend isn't rootable yet...and we are TIRED of waiting.

The Desire is THE phone of the moment. Everyone develops to it and wants to "get there first" in the desire development.

I just wrote a message because I just signed up but that does not mean that I am not aware of what's happening!
This should be several weeks I'm too in search of root for the Legend.

Sorry for my poor English

Legend seems to be bullshit...
Unfortunatly I'm too poor to buy a Desire or anything else (iPhone FOUR ^^)...

Well, I'll stay on Legend but this is only because I have no choice

[fighting4android]

dont worry dude , its just a matter of time when root for 2.03 arrives

Good News all!! ROM versions 2.03 and likely 1.32 are now able to be rooted. Check out the thread over at XDA:

XDA ROOT THREAD

It's not available to everyone yet, but rest assured, It will be soon.

[Monsieur_KaZe]

Aaaah great!

Finally someone managed to solve our problem =)
Thanks to all the folks in here who went to XDA Forums in order to contact devs!

Few more days to wait until salvation ^^

YOU CAN NOW DOWNGRADE FROM 2.03.405.3 TO ANY OTHER VERSION AND ROOT THE REGULAR WAYS AFTERWARDS!

I finally managed to root it!
I had issues regarding the method with r4 from Paul... Downgrading was a piece of cake but I was not able to install the rootedupdate.zip from Paul, even after Wiping my Legend from every side xD

I finally adapt the method and I changed rootedupdate.zip from r4 by the ROM from Mdj (Here)...
Then I had another issue because the phone won't pass the HTC screen T_T
I solved this by creating an Ext3 partition on my SD Card (thanks to GParted LiveCD)!

Now I just installed LWP from Rodriguez and Fake Flash from Paul with success =)
I'm waiting for r3 Paul's Kitchen ROM but I think other devs will release other ROMs for the Legend community (or I hope so)...

A2SD is working fine and I am able to use the LED of the Legend thanks to to the app called LAMPU!
My Legend revives: I can't believe my eyes

Thanks to all the people who came on board of our Legendary boat (aha kaska_pt, it is one of yours)!

I'm currently using the rom from Paul, and was working nicely with A2SD but i'm now having some issues after restauring my android home through my packup pro...gona see what's happening, but probably has something to do with having the stuff in the normal mode SD card...maybe restauring dalvik cache fixes it...

[Monsieur_KaZe]

I plan to switch to Rodriguez custom ROM... I will probably do it in the next few hours.
Some reports says A2SD is buggy on it but I want to taste it myself =)
And since I installed properly an Ext3 partition on my SD Card, I think it will work correctly!

I admit it is great to downgrad to 1.31 in order to root but I would prefer a fresh root in 2.03...
Anyway, we will soon see more customs ROMS from devs all around the scene ^^

[kaska_pt]

well, try and give it a go to MDJ rom at xda. it is 2.03 build with a2sd+ also,

[Monsieur_KaZe]

I already tried it ^^
It was the first custom ROM I installed (read above, I put this rom instead of the 1.31 from Paul since I had issues with it).

But I was not satisfied from Mdj since it doesn't have native support for Live Wallpapers. I added them with the Rodriguez "DLC" but it had an awesome bug: if you use LWP from Rodriguez, then you cannot add widget to your home! This is an epic fail...

So right now I just installed Rodriguez Vivid Sense. It worked and I am doing test while I'm writting this post!
I already found a bug: press "Menu" then go to "Scene" and bam, HTC Sense crashed :/
But luckily you can manage your Homescreen by going throught the settings app!
And in this ROM you can add widget even if you are using LWP!!

I will test this ROM from Rodriguez a couple of hours and then I will try another ROM. I would probably try all the ROMS for Legend since there aren't too many of them ^^

[loupiac45]

I prefer CyanogenMod ROM 6.0.0, which is based on Froyo: Live Wallpaper, but also make applications on the SD card.

There is no HTC Sense but we can download hero clock on the market but also beautiful widget !
