Guest 843 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I've been having wonderful luck with gold cards. So far I've tried 2GB Kingston, 2GB Sandisk and 1GB Samsung. None of them works for the first step and I keep getting '42 custom id check fail' on all of them. Yet I managed to downgrade my Legend to an earlier version. Is it a gold card problem or am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tobsenseless Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I got it now managed, had vodafone Legend with Bootmanager 0.43.0003. I used this to downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430 Then i wanted to root the device which gave me the same problem as I think iziy has. Step two cant be performed on the phone. I noticed that always when i had the phone plugged in my xp pc, the device manager came up and looked for a driver. But he could not find one. So i found at the unlockr a thread telling me to use usbdeview to delete all drivers of htc currently installed and the plug the legend back in and let it search for drivers. This worked for me after a restart of the pc and i was able to get adb devices and also the step 2 of this howto. tHx Paul and everyone for dealing with sh17 like this :P GQKKE and swamp try usbdeview to delete the htc drivers, this was my problem... I had the same signs. Edited October 22, 2010 by Tobsenseless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sybrows Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Hi This is my first post here. I have been trying to root my legend for ages now, here is where I am at : I had a Vodafone HTC Legend and I did have the shonky Vodafone update on it 2.1 xxxxx something that came down over the air. Anyways I went ahead and downgraded the system to 1.31.405.5 as explained on unlockr using the crackin.bat file this worked as far as I can tell and it is currently unbranded with bootloader v 43.0001. Using the same goldcard I have used to downgrade to 1.31 I have mounted the linux build under VM to try and root the phone. I run step1.sh and get the Remote: 43 Main Version Check Fail Error. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have also tried the step1-windows.bat method and it just gets stuck at writing ZIP.... Now as I managed to downgrade the phone using crackin.bat I am guessing that the Goldcard Works, I have also tried without HTC synch running in the background and just get the same error. I have tried to take off the drivers and reinstall them but all give me the same error 43 and I cannot continue with step2. Any help here would be much appreciated as I am now fully out of Ideas !!! BrOw EDIT: Just to let you know I managed to Root my legend in the end. I had pretty much given up hope as all I was getting was the 43 error but then I managed it. The main changes I made to the above where that I made a new goldcard using the goldcard tool and I used my Win7 32bit machine and it worked. I think it was the OS change that did it as the drivers may well have been the problem. Anyways now I am enjoying Froyo on my legend and am all round Chuffed Cheers to all in this thread particularly Paul.

Guest HanSieT Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Please note that this didnt work for me on Windows 7 64bits. I tried on Vista 32 and that worked out good for me. Also i had some troubles with the device not found error but that was helped by downloading the latest HTCsync from the HTC website. I followed this howto and i rooted my legend and upgraded to 2.2 ( Cyanogen mod ) Thanks Paul U THA MAN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried wxp, same error. Tried to do it from Ubuntu, booted from cd and had the files on local hd. Opened a terminal, managed to get to the right folder tried sudo ./step2-linux.sh got "command not found" tried sudo sh step2-linux.sh wich launched but got some syntax errors with adb-linux How do I tun this from Ubuntu?

Guest Smurfix Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Is this method realy working with un-rooted phones? It looks too easy to be true... Right now, ROM Manager requires /system/bin/su. You can't just go and write to /system on the Legend, it's protected by the baseband processor (AFAIK; feel free to correct me). So, no. I'd love to have a Legend without that stupid NAND Lock. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Siroj Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi guys. First i want to thank you all for the great work you all do. Seen al lot of it all around the internet. I am running Gingerbread on my Desire and it works like a charm. My wife has a Legend and is making me crazy and begging me to install Gingerbread on her legend to. After reading tons of posts it should work if i do the downgrade first (she's running 2.2 now with the latest Hboot). I only have one question regarding the goldcard. My wife's Legend is completely unbranded and original HTC. If i read ok, there is no need for me to create a goldcard for the Legend because this is only necessary if you do have a network branded phone. So, the short question is: Do i need to create a goldcard when i am going to root this phone and run custom firmware, if my Legend is unbranded and original HTC?
