Guest Claudius Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Hi Paul ! Thanks for the rooting tutorial ! I didn't try it yet cause I'm on a 2.03. Will you share technical details of your method to see if it can be easily adapted to 2.03 ? Kind regards Claudius Edited June 18, 2010 by Claudius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boibo Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) im stuck at "writing zip..." after the "sending zip" whats wrong? Any idea? Only have the HTC logon on the phone. edit: after editing step1.windows and removing the duplicate entry, it stil stucks at writing zip. Pulling battery works (phone still boots normal), version is 1.31.405. --- i got it to work! I think the problem is the generation of the goldcard. First, i didnt run the editor in admin (i have uac off, but perhaps thats not the same thing) and 2nd, i used ctrl+v, ie paste insert and NOT paste write. But now it worked, it wrote and flashed. ;) Edited June 19, 2010 by boibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi borgfather, I have rooted my HTC legend according to Paul's manual... This worked fine... But now when i try to install a system update (android update 1.31.405.5 ) using the OTA Menu --> Setting --> About the phone--> System Updates--> it fails. It downloads the update to the Download directory on my SD card... Then when i try to install the update it fails... with a question mark and my phone reboots.. I also tried to install the update manually (recovery mode)... This is the error code that i get when i try to install the update using the recovery mode... Verifying update package .. E: No signature (208 files) E: Verification failed Installation Aborted I also found this post...

If you root your phone, you cannot install OTA updates? They will fail to install? If this is so… Why don’t I see more people complaining on this issue?

Guest ariaxu Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 The Legend launched in Canada on the Bell network last week. Unfortunately, no one I've talked to about it has managed to root the Bell edition. I've personally tried with 6 different MicroSD cards of various sizes, under Linux and Windows, and three of my friends have also tried with no success. I've made goldcards for several different devices before, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. Without exception, the process fails during Step 1 of the guide, with the message "FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)". Continuing to Step 2 results in the usual "device not found" message. The bootloader says: LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON HBOOT-0.43.0003 MICROP-0816 TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0103 RADIO-7.08.35.05 Apr 30 2010,23:52:18 Settings->Hardware->Software Information: Firmware: 2.1-update1 Baseband: 47.37.35.09U_7.08.35.05 Am I stuck in unprivileged mode, or can anyone offer any insight?

They will fail to install? If this is so… Why don’t I see more people complaining on this issue? I think because they know it before rooting and prefere a rooted device above an OTA update as i do i do not know exactly what are the updates or better said what does the update consists of. but to be honest i am perfectly happy with my rooted MoDaCo rom on my device and i am sure: as soon as a froyo rom is released for the legend it will bee rooted and put on the net sucsess met updating je telefoon Groetjes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CRNeo Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm slightly confused... I've just got a vodafone branded legend... HBOOT is 43.00001 Will this guide work for me?

I assume once I complete this I can then install MCR on it? Thanks Probably not - but check your software version on the phone. The important number is 1.xx, if it's 1.32 (or 2.03) it won't work, if the number is lower it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
