"Official" rooting mechanism?

HTCDEV now offers an official way of unlocking the bootloader; see http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader.

Has anyone used this yet?

I have a Legend lingering around; got a Nexus S, so the Legend is mostly lying in a drawer now. If I could get (say) CM7 onto it, it would be at least somewhat more interesting again.

I tried fighting through the "generate Gold card and root it" process without any success; I was on a newer version and had to do the RUU downgrade; it would get partway through and fail. It would certainly be interesting to have an extra toy :-)
[Legend General] helppme:
Did it today.. worked perfect to unlock bootloader.. will now try to get root access. Before this was available it wasnt possible for me to root with gold card method due to my bootloader version :-(.. I have a galaxy s2 but hoping to breathe new life into the legend :-).. I was on build 3.15.405.3 froyo 2.2 before I started this process if that helps...

If you want to flash a rom you dont need root. Just flash recovery and Go ;)
[Legend General] zupervisor:
is it necessary to be root on phone before flashing a custom rom ?

after unlocked i flashed recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img but i am not able to flash a new rom

after i booted in to recovery mode i chose flash zip from sd card option in the list it couldn't pass to next screen, options listed in the main menu goes off and i can see only cwm icon (a black hat over a yellow circle) i waited 2-3 minutes but nothing happened when i press power button it returns to main menu again.

Also other options listed in the cwm main menu not goes further, reboot system and power off, wipe data... either, same thing happens as described above.

i am waiting your suggestions

damn it!.. what a silly mistake

inside the cwm menu i have to make a selection by hitting the trackball but i was pressing the power-button
[Legend General] AlexS_xda:
Yeah, pressing the powerbutton in recovery just Shows this Image.
[Legend General] zupervisor:
thanks, i use trackball to select menu options and installed custom rom fuse 2

Well I am stuck, got a horrible Legend with 2.2 locked to Vodafone Spain - No bootloader update yet on HTCDEV and nothing works. Can't even update my aps on the SD card coz phone says not enough memory to install. Got 12Gb on the card and only stock Vodafone stuff on the phone itself.
[Legend General] eladbo:
try cyanogenmod.. with a good guide and using the stable rom you'll get a satisfying phone..
[Legend General] Ihaveatattoo:
I unlocked with HTCDev, rooted with Supertool. Then installed RomManager, tried to install CWM, it said it was downloaded, great.

I rebooted to recovery, but only thing i can see is that exclamation mark, no CWM. Whadda?:confused:

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

Solved, putted the image in the same directory as fastboot.exe, rebooted to fastboot with usb connected and

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img

Well, I could have spared many of my academic hours if i from the beginning knew of this and of the ability of rooting without downgrading.:D
[Legend General] zimmacomp:

HI, i have done exactly what you did unlocked via HTCDev rooted with Supertool then installed RomManager.installed CWM n downloaded.like you when rebooted to recovery got the same exclamation mark!

Can you explain how you solved it as i dont understand how you did it ?? thanks
[Legend General] gesange:
Loook at my thread for unlockroot.com :)

It works and you dont need to be s-off...........i rooted a legend with s-on.

The only thing you have to do when you use unlockroot is unlocking bootloader ;)
[Legend General] RustyAndroid:
Can't believe this xda website had me screwing around trying to get HTC Supertools for 3 hours, the tools that by the way are no longer on the file hosting site. I downloaded this tool and 20 seconds later the phone was rooted.

Message to xda moderators, please clean up all the out dated and garbage posts on this website. Never seen such a confusing pile of crap in my life. Specially that stickie post on all things Legend, I no longer trust anything posted on this website.

Thanks to the op, they should put you in charge of the Legend part of these forums.

I don't know how you guys managed to root the legend, I'm stuck. I have a legend with stock Rom 2.1 update -1 I can't update to froyo or root my phone. I'm frustrated.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
I've rooted my S2 and been playing around with roms for a few months. But have decided to go back to the stock rom which I made a recovery of. I restored it and it seems fine. But I remember when I rooted it in the first place it did change something.

Before root, if I connected to the phone to usb it would load kies on the phone so I could use it with the kies app on my pc. But it doesnt do that. When I load kies on my pc all I get is :

" Reconnect the device in samsung kies (pc studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported".

Any ideas? I just want the phone back to as it was from the shop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Depends. What SGS2 do you have ? I.E. What's on the sticker under the battery ? Gives us those details (as well as country/carrier) & then we can tell you where to find stock firmware to flash to return your phone to it's "original" condition.

Model - GT-I9100

SSN: I9100GSMH

UK

O2

Thanks in advance!

How embarrassing. That did the trick.

I wanted to see if there was an update, but it says "your device does not support software updating via kies" and checking on the phone results in connection failed appearing on the screen. Is this to do with the rooting and non official kernal? Or am I being paranoid?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. I9100 on O2/UK, KJK1 is the latest available here. Download the package & flash it in the PDA section of Odin.

This will return your phone to stock. You should be able to get updates via Kies from now on. If you find you can't for whatever reason, do a search on here for Checkfus. Basically this app finds/allow you to download the latest official firmware for your phone model/carrier/country that you'd normally get from Kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
Many thanks.

I used the XWKJ1 Stock Kernel:

Everything works find but the update still. Kies won't do it over usb app and once again in the phone it just says connection failed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Um, I did say download/flash the whole package, not just the kernel :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
Ah yes, I must read properly.

How do I apply this one? odin, pda?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
I put on the stock rom but I've having issues with the market. For apps for the UK it tells me my device isnt compatible (on the web interface), on the phone the apps just don't show. I did try market enabler, resetting cache, rebooting. But nothing works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
That reads like you have a stock rom for another country .

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
Folks over at sgs2 have been trying to port it over for quite sometime now. I doubt you will see it anytime soon. Besides do you really want sense?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacRoy:
Yes, I want Sence I've had so many HTC with Sense and like it especially 3.5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O_G:
Do i want sense? Yes, Its great! Touchwiz is not as refined.

Sense features i miss

The great Audio player, Better than power amp (In my opinion)

Fantastic lockscreen (customizable)

Great People, weather and calendar widgets

Perfect Dialpad

Well designed SMS and email client

And all the other sense themed widgets.

I know i lot of these features can be added with apps from the market, But none i have found so far have the Tidy uniform look of sense. Parts of touchwiz look like they have been made by a colour blind monkey! Also one of my biggest gripes with touchwiz is the lockscreen (poor animation, lack of customization and sometimes unresponsive) If i try to use a different lockscreen, NoLED stops working, which i like because the lack of a physical notification LED.

So far i have tried-

SPB shell 3D - expensive, and still needs some work for are device, but looks cool. More looks over substance

Launcher Pro - Its OK, just basic

Go laucher, Go Locker, Go Contacts - Good attempt, just not as refined and not optimized for the screen resolution of the note

The note, hardware wise, is the best Phone (yes it is a phone) I have owned. Personally i feel touchwiz needs some work.

Now others may love touhwiz, So i do not want this thread to turn into a fanboi thread of either way! This is just my opinion, its not intended to irritate anybody.

For one, i would love to see a sense rom for such great hardware!

Overall i like the note, and with any luck ICS will null my gripes.

Sorry to OP if i have hijacked this thread, Just sparked all my (common) sense thoughts off at once;)

Also best place for questions is the Q&A section.

Take it easy

For me TouchWiz and Sense is same ****. Go Launcher is normal. Holo is the best launcher I ever use. I hope samsung will not forget or ignore about this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainhakan:
It was hard to get used to touchwiz after Htv Sense for first few days. I tried to find similar widgets to make it more look and function like htc sense. Then as more I get used to touchwiz the less I hated it. If I had a choice I would still prefer htc sense as already mentioned it is pretty well designed graphically and functionally out of the box. But I discover some touchwiz features missing in htc sense too. For instance uninstalling apps right from the app drawer is awesome just as practical as uninstalling on iphone. Samsung touchwiz seems to have it all as separate widgets and os wise but they are not as a whole package in terms of visual integrity and not as functional as sense considering each app separately. Some of features like remote tracking is not even in default rom unless you add them urself later which takes some research to even find out it's even possible. HTC sense serves it all as a whole package , even the navigating software you can purchase it right from the htc location widget and it is adapted to rest of widgets. Contact integration from different accounts like facebook, google, twitter etc is merged automatically on htc sense by choice which is missing on touchwiz. You have to add your htcsense user id and pass only once on Sense and it is recognized automatically on related apps like "htc likes" but on touchwiz you have to add your samsung account each time again and again for apps like "samsung apps" etc... Considering outstanding hardware features of Gnote I have no intension to go back to htc just for sense as none of their devices are even close to gnote recently but I would definitely like to see samsung engineers put more effort on improving touchwiz in terms of compatible graphic design, integrated all-in features , user friendly ui to make it more competitive against htc sense which seems to be only superiority of htc devices still left.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Not going to happen people. Have you EVER seen a non HTC device with Sense? Correct, and that won't change.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
Im surprised it took 4 months for this kind of thread to pop up. I will never understand the ram hogging hype. It reminds me of iphone users bragging about a million apps so they can swipe the screen from left to right doing nothing.

But all in all we are using android which gives us plenty of options. If a clone of sense doesnt work. Theres always that option of making it yourself.

I swore launcher pro widgets were a exact replica of htc sense. Matched up with a theme and it was good to go. Plus that customizable widget app that did more things then htc lockscreen. But im guessing this isnt good enough.

sense just has the best dialer avaible. the touchwiz dialer just doesnt find if i search for "uiop" and there is clearly a "qwertz uiop" in the contacts. sense dialer finds that.

aldo the touchwiz keyboard is odd... long press makes caps lock chars... sense gives you signs like "+ -*& %". i solved that with swiftkey x... but for the dialer theres no replacement right now. ex dialer is the closest but it needs 10 seconds or more to load the call log. thats not acceptable.

i like that the phone features of a phone are excelent, not just satisfiyng.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un4seen:
Sense is an abomination, why would you want to buy the fastest phone available just to bog it down with bloatware, reducing it to a level of performance of a 1GHz single-core? But, to each his own - sadly, no way to make a Sense rom for a non-HTC device, if only for legality reasons. Sense is, at least partly, proprietary code.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgreat:
Sense is the best out of the box android UI. Period.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicDom:
I've just recently got my Galaxy Note and I'll admit I do miss the sense from my HTC Desire HD. Personally, it seems more intuitive when it comes to shortcuts, integration and it is visually appealing. However, I know it slows down the phone as it did that to my HTC Desire HD, especially when I updated to the latest sense. It's very laggy and the amount of animations are completely unnecessary. I don't need an animation of the page swivelling onto the screen when unlocking the phone. I'll miss the ease of access to certain things, but I want to get use to touchwiz.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilson_sony:
There is an option to get Sense 3.0 or 3.5

Hi All,

there is an easier way to get sense plus even more ....

that is the only phone HTC HD2

you can get it cheap on ebay aution...

like mine had... and you love it, it flash from WM6.5 to WP7 to android .. to Ubuntu.... and more ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:
LOL! You come to a Note forum to suggest an HD2? A phone that's so inferior it's not even funny?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imilka:
Sometimes HD2 with sense onboard acts smoother than Note with TW.

So if you want Sense, HD2 is your perfect choice.

Its hardly possible to port Sense to Note or other non-HTC devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdub12:
I think the "Why do you want Sense, it sucks" comments are ridicules.

Who cares why people want it, they just do. Some people have different opinions. If you don't like something that does not mean that everyone doesn't like it.

Personally I love sense. I would also love to see it on the Galaxy Note. Honestly that’s the reason I haven’t gotten a Note yet. I am hopping ether sense will be ported to work or HTC will come out with a large phone to compete.

Personally I would rather HTC just get a 5+ inch phone because I like HTC's hardware buttons better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidsmith:
I'm coming from using an HTC desire z and curious about a rom with sense. Man, would I ever love to be able to reverse the home and menu buttons.

Also, I preferred having the quick link to settings in the notifications area and the link in the notification area to latest running apps, was nice too!

Maybe if I started with touchwiz I would like it more, I think I will give awd ex a try.

Salute HTC for sense. and protecting it from others :) but you do not have a device as big as a note. Samsung have lot of options. lot of OS. captured the whole market. but remain inferior with the Sense.

some developers who ported sense for nexus S gota do something about it for the Note.

More important than ICS is ghost call issues on GB BB. If it continues in ICS then I will get rid of the damn phone and get SGIII.
[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
IF LG botched GB after making us wait 3 month extra claiming that they are taking their sweet time to release a perfect GB then I think with ICS either they will not release it or when they do it will be buggier than GB. I think when they designed this phone it was designed for froyo. Our only hope is a good CM ROM, I have completely lost faith in LG to fix the issues with this phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
They said Q3, so you can expect it in September, if not later. Maybe around July/August we gonna start to see any "leaked" ICS ROM out there, but it is just a maybe, we know how LG is.

CM running ICS but without 3D is IMO worthless, It is great when I run it on my Nexus S for example or on other devices, that doesn't have 3D functionality ,but on O3D ? without 3D I don't really think it is even worth a try. As soon as I see CM9 with 3D , I would be the first one to donate more than a couple of beers to them, I do really appreciate their very hard work.
