that is a driver error i think man...

but you didn't answer my question fully...when the RUU installation file enters the load mode with the time counting in seconds, like it's waiting for something, if you go to device manager, is the driver correctly installed or do you have an exclamation point?

i'm asking you this with a purpose, so please double check it.
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
yes sorry it does have the exclamation point what do i do ?
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
please tell me i really need to know this how do install that driver?
[Legend Android Development] casca:
When it starts the counting on the ruu,go to device manager and update the drivers...choose them manually...
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
yeh its got the exclamation point in the yellow triangle but when i try to update it it says it is already up to date
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
is there anywhere i can download them? manualy
[Legend Android Development] casca:
at the counter initiation update the "!" device with the corresponding drivers.

[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
i found out my drivers are actually completely up to date including bootloader driver but on device manager it still just has the yellow triangle with exclamation point next to it help?
[Legend Android Development] casca:
dude...you didn't understand me at all...

the drivers you have are updated, but you need these ones to flash the RUU.

You have to choose manually the drivers i'm giving you in the links when the counting begins in the RUU. CHOOSE MANUALLY and select the other driver that will appear on the selection list.
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
yes its working! thanks sooo much for all the help mate u dont know how much this means to me
[Legend Android Development] casca:

[Legend Android Development] Txkw:
It works fine! Thanks!
[Legend Android Development] link2009:
Problem solved! The goldcard was the issue.

Thank you very much everyone, everything worked fine. I am running FroYo now.
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
heres the thing casca just need to ask you i downgraded my phone successfully and then when i try to root i get to the second step in the root tools and it dosent work is there a way to make it work? and if not how do i restore my phone to normal when im on the red recovery logo??? need help urgently!
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
dude pleaz help me i want to have to chuck my 4 month old phone in the bin :(
[Legend Android Development] casca:
rule #1 don't panic...someone will come and help you out...

rule #2 give explicit details on the actual situation or else no one will know how to help you

What do you mean by second step and it doesn't work. be specific
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
well, im hoping youll know cus youve rooted yours and basicly when you download the r4 legend folder and it has two .bat files called step 1 and step2

worked fine rooting until i got to the step 2 file and it dosent work so i am now stuck on the recovery screen on my legend which is like a picture of a phone with a red triangle next to it with a red exclamation mark in the middle what do i do?
[Legend Android Development] casca:
OK, so...

*In the terminal window, enter either 'step1-windows.bat', './step1-mac.sh' or './step1-linux.sh' as appropriate. - you've done this part I think...

*When this step has completed,

REMOVE THE GOLDCARD and either format it and replace, or replace with a different (non goldcard) microSD

. did you do this??? -If you have, the press volume up + power on your phone...and then run step2.bat

let me know how it went.
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
i assume it doesnt matter if theres random stuff on the non-goldcard like music and stuff but anyway it just goes the same so what do i do then?
[Legend Android Development] casca:
are you using the same memory card? the one that contains the goldcard info?

have you tried doying volume up + power and then step2.bat?
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
no its a different card and yes ive tried step2.bat and what do you mean by pressing volume up and power ive and by the way ive been following this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
what guide did you use to root yours?
[Legend Android Development] casca:
I've used the modaco guide from Paul,but it's exactly the same.

The memory card is not the issue then...

But dude...it's the third time i'm telling you to press vol up + power and afterwards to try and run step2.bat
[Legend Android Development] dobbo30:
yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss! its working i just went on a different pc yay! Now thankyoucasca for helping me the whole entire way and im rooted and about to install a custom rom cheers m8 :) i suggest the rodriguez style rom looks absolutely awsome :P!!!
[Legend Android Development] casca:
Nice.

a little problem of late

Hi again guys !

I noticed a problem i was experiencing of late. I still like to go to recovery mode via pc inspite of Rom Manager. When I go into Recovery and the phone boots into red ! screen, when I click on 'recovery-windows.bat' file to wait for the recovery menu , the black window on my pc just comes for a sec and disappears..it doesnt stay.... i have to click on it a dozen times and then it may work. What am I doing wrong ? Is it wrong to have usb debugging on or charge only mode all the time ? when the phone is off and boots into ! we dont get a chance to chose the mode.

thanks
[Legend Android Development] lulu88000:
Hi,

I'm trying to downgrade my legend who have the vodafone rom 1.32.

While i run the cracking script (V5), all work fine, i've the modes crwxrwxrwx on mtd0, i've made my goldcard (who seems ok, verified with modaco's procedural) so, while i try to run the RRU installer, i go an error who said me the phone is not connected to the usb.

The PC show the phone connected and the developpment feature is enabled on the phone, and i can connect on using "adb shell"

Anyone have an idea of what i need to do to make it working?

(Sorry for my bad english)

Kevin
[Legend Android Development] casca:
check page 26 of this thread and see my posts, maybe that's your problem too.
[Legend Android Development] lulu88000:
Ha, it's maybe that, so now i've downgraded to the 1.23 (who can be rooted with paul's method), so, i save your links, i've a lot of legend to root (~20) and it may help me :)

Thx :)

I try to finish to root it and i will make a french translation of this procedure and paul's one if it working with sfr's phone
[Legend Android Development] wag3slav3:
Try booting into hboot and RUUing from that.
[Legend Android Development] lulu88000:
Booting as hboot have changed nothing, i've finaly downgraded to the 1.23 with your procedural and have worked fine, my Legend is now rooted, thanks a lot for your work !

I've made a french version who work for SFR's firmware of your work and of Paul's work, so, i can't post it for the moment due to xda's restriction, if you would a copy of it, i can send you the url in a pm message.

Again, thx a lot for your work :)

SOLVED

Installed HTC sync on Windows xp

That never had any HTC connected before. Inserted goldcard booted fastboot usb and run step1 all ok.

Then inserted my old card with fakeflash and installed new Rom from phone.

Seems that Windows7x 64 was the trouble in this case.

Hi,

I've struggled to get to the part where I have to type crackin.sh into the tools directory in terminal but every time I enter it, it comes back with -bash: crackin.sh: command not found. I've tried so many things but nothing. Could it be i'm trying to do this on a mac? Can someone please help?

So RUU flashes your phone properly?
[Legend Android Development] Maces_Leo:
What do you mean? My Phone is still on ver 2.1 update 1. And the RUU.exe will not get over the install shield ...

I have to be still on "charge only" mode, right?

I installed the adb right, i think.

I installed the HTC Sync for the drivers.

My HBOOT is now on -0.43.0001 but my Software is still on 2.1 -ud 1.

Does anyone know what I can do to root my device? Is it possible to root without downgrade because my bootloader is still on XX01?
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
My Legend is unlocked/unbranded, so I'm not sure if I need a Goldcard for this.

Has anyone here downgraded from 2.05.405.2 to 1.31 without a Goldcard?
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
What do you mean with "install shield"?

whatever Software 2.1 update 1, yes but that is not of interest

do your phone version 1.31.xxx or 2.03.xxx

if RUU run properly you would know. It tells you if its OK

RUU is for downgrade to 1.31 so you then can run step1.bat for rooting

see other thread about rooting

crackin and RUU downgrade (RUU is actualy unroot your phone if its rooted) is just preparing phone for rootpossibility
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
Hey,

I hope someone can help with my silly question. I've followed the steps in the first post, everything has gone fine so far, I see crwxrwxrwx .

The next step says "power cycle your phone". What does that mean!?

Basically I'm unsure of how to proceed to the next step of installing:

RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_ 7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe

Because after the crackin.bat the phone automatically turned USB debugging off. Do I turn it back on? Or double click the RUU file without debugging enabled?

EDIT:

Well I went for it and executed the RUU.

Everything seemed fine...until it hung on "waiting for bootloader".

It counted up to 100 and then told me it had failed!! :eek:

All I had on my Legend was a silver HTC sign.

Then I executed the RUU again, it seems to be working/flashing this time...it reached 100% and now the phone is rebooting... or trying to.... fingers crossed....

Success! I am now on 1.31.405.5!

Thanks to all involved!!
[Legend Android Development] paulsmid:
Hi, i did the steps, but when I start the RUU it keeps waiting for the device, while I am connected en USB debugging is on.

[Legend Android Development] flynny:
I have a problem with more than 1 device detected by adb when i run the script?

The serials that come up are exactly the same except one is offline and the other is "device"?

Any help?
[Legend Android Development] wag3slav3:
It won't work with two devices in ADB. Troubleshoot that.
[Legend Android Development] flynny:
The plot thickens!

Before running your script I have adb running, the phone is on at the lockscreen, i can list devices and there is only 1 device (my connected phone).

I run the crackin.bat file via cmd prompt and it begins the "copying tools"..

Except it seems to give up straight away, there are 3 files it tries to copy but it says 0 bytes in 43534.0s for each etc.

From then on its an error: more than one device and emulator..

The phone reboots multiple times but nothing seems to be working in the cmd prompt, at the end I list adb devices and now I have 3, all identical serials, 2 offline and 1 as "device".

I have my goldcard inside, im pretty sure its working but il try make another.. im going from software 2.05 if that makes a difference but someone has already said they had success with this version?

Tried with a separate goldcard now and same story ;( starting to wonder if a root/change of any kind is even doable ;(

Okay, running a logcat thing and watching whilst i run the 1st line of crackin.bat (pushing the file..) there is no activity regarding it in the logcat and all i get is 376 kb/s (0 bytes in 698452.001s), the more i repeat the numbers change but it never moves more than 0 bytes it would seem..

killing and starting adb server never affects the results.

Also some times after the 1st reboot of the device it seems to jump straight to the end of the script saying error: more than one device and emulator.

Starting to get a sinking feeling now ;( if i sort this beer money will definately be coming your way!
[Legend Android Development] wag3slav3:
You have an adb problem. If you have a second computer you most likely can do it on there more easily than fixing your broken adb. Otherwise, uninstall htc sync, android dev kit and reinstall only the android dev kit.
[Legend Android Development] marcchelala:
The RUU install is taking forever to run!!! I had to run it several times for it to actually run, and then, after taking a couple of minutes to "Prepare the InstallShield Wizard", it just disappeared, but stayed in the taskbar, doing nothing!!

hxxp://localhostr.com/files/0511f1/Administrator%20CWindowssystem32cmd.ex.png

I've previously downgraded this phone, sold it to someone else and now they're going through the process again (i ran uncrackin and threw the original firmware on because he asked me to unroot it). Anyway, is that what's causing the issue is that it was downgraded and rooted before? Any suggestions? I'm trying to post the screen shot but it won't let me so the link is above.
[Legend Android Development] wag3slav3:
If you unrooted by RUU'ing to the 2.1 then it should work. If you unrooted by doing some other oddity then I really dunno what to say.
[Legend Android Development] flynny:
Wag3 I would just like to say thankyou for the effort youve put into this!

I had some success last night and now I have a rom which can be rooted.

As I said some beer money is coming your way ;D

For all interested my problem was ADB related so I ran the script on my windows 7 machine at home and I had success, but then also there was a whole bunch of driver pain which is talked about around pages 20+ of this thread.

And now to root!

Hello Guys,

i have successfully downgrade with the instructions (with Winxp @ Win7 64bit Virtual Machine[XP Mode]) my (2.05 vodafone) version to to 2.03 (doesnt take 1.32 cause i doesnt want to root, only debrand) (HTC WWE)

will i now recive the further OTA Updates automaticly?

Hi!

I am new in the forum and this is my first post:)

First, I have a Htc legend, I'm not root and I dont want to be.

The problem is that I just downgrade, debrand and install RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed, but now the legend, it tells me that there arent any update, no 2.03 and no 2.05. Why? Any advice? Thanks!

PD. Sorry for my awful English :P
[Legend Android Development] cebu:
The method on page one is solving this problem, therefor it is needed, it is fooling the install procedure of the ruu...exe later on.

My Legend was also not branded, but still needed the method on page on.
[Legend Android Development] lalamaus:
that means we will not get OTA Updates if we use this instructions to install a other ruu-version?
[Legend Android Development] vanider:
Thanks to everyone for getting this to work. This post helped as well :D... my symptoms were exactly the same, and the post made me run through the RUU again while @ the silver HTC screen, and it magically worked!!!! Thanks again for everything, now time to play!!!
[Legend Android Development] cebu:
I also nearly had the same problem, with the first start of the Ruu...exe, Windows was downloading some drivers. I had to restart the PC, after that I start Ruu...exe for the second time, now it was going well. I never disconnected or power down or on the phone between.
[Legend Android Development] vanider:
stuck rooting from 1.31

Hi everyone!!

I just bought a Legend (Bell 2.02.xxxx) and downgraded to 1.31 , as well as created my gold card, and got through step 1 with no issues.... the problem is i cannot get step2-windows.bat to work for me with varying issues, i get into recovery mode, and it seems to go downhill from there...

1. error:device offline

2. error:protocol fault

and a bunch of other things...

if anyone has had the same issues and has any luck with fixing anything on step 2, if you could please post or pm me, it would be great

thanks in advance

Guys i need help. Trying to downgrade using your instructions from the Azure 0.6 ROM.

After crackin.bat i got the code crwxr-x--- .....1007....

and cant do something with it! i was trying to wipe all to factory defaults but it can help me! When i was trying to start RUU i got a message to connect phone via USB cable.

So if anyone can help ill be glad)
[Legend Android Development] LiViD:
Azure won't let you downgrade as the version number in the Azure ROM is blanked out. You'll have to downgrade to another rooted ROM eg: SweetVanilla using ROM Manager. Then you can use the RUU's.
[Legend Android Development] moofang:
Hi,

I know this sounds like a rather dumb question, but I've waded through a good number of pages from the front and back of the thread without getting an answer: how do I "run" the RUU? It looks like a windows executable - but I am on Linux, and the guide looks like it is also meant for unix systems since you provided shell scripts with it.

So... how do I execute the RUU on a linuxbox? Or was I supposed to execute it in the phone or something?

Thanks, and sorry if it's a newbie question :)
[Legend Android Development] LiViD:
RUU's are Windows applications, there wouldn't be any way of running them on a *nix based system.
[Legend Android Development] moofang:
I see, thanks. Do I need to have the android sdk (adb and stuff) installed on a windows machine to run the RUU? I'm thinking of doing the other steps on my linuxbox (which has the sdk tools) and then borrowing a friend's windows machine (which may not have the sdk tools) to run the RUU. Will this work?
