so this way you get a system.img directly instead of a dump of the system directory files you then need to recompile into a system.img?

and again thanks for trying nutunited.
[Legend General] nutunited:
Cool, done and uploading :)

After making mkfs.yaffs2 executable (chmod 777) it worked like a charm.

Sent kleutscher and bwhite pms with the link for when it is done.

Oh and it's a pleasure guys - figured somebody should try and help. Even though I don't have the problem myself, I know what it's like when things go wrong! Good luck once again :)

EDIT: Just to confirm, this is a system.img made directly from the phone using mkfs.yaffs2 tool. No other file manipulation or anything was done afterwards (aside from compressing with 7zip)
[Legend General] callmewind:
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was meaning LEGEIMG.zip files. I can't open them with windows integrated zip folders, but I can with 7zip, althougt I can't modify its contents, it complains about errors in zip structure.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
nutunited youre the man!:D
[Legend General] kleutscher:
hmm strange never had problem with that.

but im always using winrar for .zips
[Legend General] nolook:
so is this working yet for you guys?

any link to the home made RUU?
[Legend General] kleutscher:
no still working on it.

but we are atleast a far way with collecting the files we need.

only we need to find out how to make a working rom out of it.

still dont know if well make it, but i dont give up hope as long we didnt try everything there is.

and still many ways to go;):D

have to work today but wonder if this will work on my nonbranded CID legend (using goldcard)? cid=BM___001
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Holy Mother of... uploaded to FileFactory 27 minutes ago? Downloading now to test!!
[Legend General] nutunited:
Wow, that looks like exactly what you guys need! Let me know if it works so I can stop the upload :)

If it's real it will work with any CID if you have a goldcard.

Swyped from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] h0m3r16:
hi guys.

im still bootlooping :P.

im going to try that RUU :)
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Worked for me!!!! (!!!!!!!)

Is that a chorus of angels I hear?
[Legend General] h0m3r16:
i wish hear the same chorus in 20 minutes :P.

good for you =D!
[Legend General] Greedybro:
I wish everyone of us would hear this soft Angel's chorus soon ^^

So we extract the ROM.zip from RUU that is it ?
[Legend General] BWhite22:
If you have access to a Windows box, I would recommend doing what I did to get out of the bootloop:

1. Boot phone into Fastboot (with goldcard inserted in my case, because I have a North American Bell phone - your mileage may vary)

2. Connect to PC

3. Run RUU

4. Bingo

That's all that was involved here. Please be sure to follow all the usual RUU precautions: battery charge, PC on a battery backup to avoid a power loss during flashing, etc. I'd hate for anyone to have problems after all this!
[Legend General] ryaneu:
so anyone tested that RUU yet? works with debranded + goldcard?
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Worked 100% with my Bell A6365 Legend and a goldcard. Brought me out of the bootloop and 2.2 looks to be running flawlessly.
[Legend General] h0m3r16:
still flashing :S
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Exept that my computer is running Windows Seven and I can't achieve to detect my phone on Fastboot mode... Any drivers someone ?
[Legend General] BWhite22:
I had to install HTC Sync to get those drivers. (I also installed the Android SDK previously so maybe you need that too - that in turn has the free Oracle Java JDK as a prerequisite)
[Legend General] h0m3r16:
omg it works :D

im so happy T_T
[Legend General] ryaneu:
Wow.

Gonna jizz in my pants soon.
[Legend General] callmewind:
I WANT I WANT I WANT :D

Downloading right now!!

Thanks soooo much :)
[Legend General] Greedybro:
I'm trying re install it, and I have the SDK, but it doesn't seem to work. If I can't do it, would you send me your drivers ? I'm sure you can save it and send it to me ^^
[Legend General] shara6:
ok im still downloading... excited to try it out!

just one question... if HTC will release another update for this... say 3.15.405.4... will we still be able to get it? i just hope there will be NO MORE CID checks...
[Legend General] BWhite22:
My Windows machine is only kept around for games (and RUUs ;) ) so it's a junky XP box, but I will try to hunt down those driver files for you if they are cross-functional on 7.
[Legend General] kane2931:
Works!!!!!

Thanks to the guy (Football) who upload this RUU! It resurrected my phone!! I've had the boot looping problem. It's a Bell Phone so i've put my Goldcard and boot it in Fastboot, then plug my usb cable, then ran the RUU file. Everything went smoothly and i've been able to upgrade my phone.

Thank You, Thank You!!

Can anyone tell me if this ROM include French Canada locale and French QWERTY keyboard?

The Vodafone one only has AZERTY layout for the French dictionary

Thanks!
[Legend General] kleutscher:
omg omg im happy.

so it works:D

downloading right now:D

no more trying to find a solution:D

Everybody that helped to try to find a solution

THANKS THANKS AND THANKS :D:D
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Unfortunately I believe it has neither - there is "France French", and if I change the input language to French, I get AZERTY.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
but this way dont need to downgrade and rebrand their phone anymore.

now they can install the 3.15 ruu with a goldcard like the way bswhite told.

am i right?

So this RUU...

WWE means world wide edition?

Is it stock Android OS, or does it still retain HTC Sense?

I have Bell Canada Legend - I fear they make take several more months if ever before releasing an update.

But I want to know dangers of using this rom, as it was released in Europe, and I don't know a whole lot about this sort of thing (yet).

Ideally I want my phone the same way it is, just with 2.2. That means same language, keyboard, apps (I supposed I'd have to reinstall them if I'm updating via the way here)

Side Q: Is the Shazam app payment status tied to phone? sim? google/android market account? rom?

As in, what would I have to do to lose my unlimited tagging status and have to pay for it?

Update: Turns out it's attached to IMEI and Shazam will transfer license to new IMEI if you email them.

Thank you.
[Legend General] rwijnhov:
I flashed this rom succesfully on my legend and all was fine the flasher said. But i am still in a boot loop what now? Roms flashes succesfully but still bootloop.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
Did you use a goldcard?
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Let me clear these questions up for you - you and I are quite alike in some regards. First off, WWE means World Wide English. It's the unbranded HTC version of the ROM which is distributed to various countries where you can buy unlocked and unbranded phones without using a carrier. It is still HTC Sense, in fact it's HTC Sense in its purest form without any stupid carrier apps like Bell's TV garbage.

I likewise had my doubts about Bell or Virgin ever getting around to approving FroYo - I'm actually a Rogers customer but if you don't debrand your phone then you're tied to the brand carrier's update schedule. This is why I flashed a WWE 2.1 ROM in anticipation of 2.2.

Other than the stupid mistake I made of trying to flash the 2.2 OTA update through the LEGEIMG.zip boot method (DON'T DO THAT), I have had no issues with any of the 3 WWE ROMs (2.03, 2.05, 3.15) I've flashed onto my North America (model A6365) Legend. This is amazingly great for me, as you can't use a European or global A6363 Legend on Canadian carriers' 3G networks.

A goldcard is a a special SD card that allows your phone to ignore the CID (carrier ID, e.g. Bell, Vodafone) that is part of your phone's build. This is how WWE flashing is permitted.

What I did was build a goldcard, and use the RUU to flash 2.03 WWE onto my phone. I did 2.05 OTA and while 3.15 (Android 2.2) failed for me OTA, everything was fine until I did the LEGEIMG method. That caused the bootloop until today's download and use of the 3.15 RUU. I wouldn't say that debranding is a 100% safe operation, but I am satisfied with how it has gone for me overall. Technically nothing would have broken for me had I not been over-eager.

If you followed the lead of other ex-Bell Legend owners here, you would have an almost-identical phone: you'd lose their apps and other branding, and you might see a minor performance boost even on 2.1 (I felt that was the case). You would of course have the benefit of "early" FroYo in Canada too. Also, my GPS never worked until I flashed to WWE.

If you use a WWE ROM there is no way to set your locale to English Canada or English US - I have English UK for mine. Essentially this means nothing to me, as I've noticed no difference and Canada uses UK spellings anyway of course. Having the WWE ROM in no way prevents you from setting your time zone, or locale for weather, etc., to a Canadian location. As far as I can tell there is no keyboard difference either.

As you guessed, flashing any new ROM will wipe your phone's internal storage. You should back up first, and I'd back up my SD card's contents just to be safe. In the final analysis, I am very happy that I have been able to flash a WWE ROM onto my A6365 phone, with no disruption whatsoever to 3G functionality, etc.

Sorry for the lengthy post. :)

EDIT: I'm not sure if loading WWE voids your warranty - I bought my phone second-hand so that's not an issue for me. I would guess that you need to be on the carrier's ROM if you want to make a warranty claim - some people downgrade their phones back to stock for this, but AFAIK you can't downgrade without root, and no 3.15 root method exists yet.
[Legend General] johnnyboy77:
Hi there,

no need to - I had mine re-branded with the French RUU to get FROYO, now installed the new one with a gold card, as one poster assumed it would be possible. I guess it's because the HTC has a higher version (3.15 rather than 3.14) and the checks are not included as opposed to the OTA update. HAPPY HAPPY. THANKS.
[Legend General] moppetit:
Excellent news!

Thanks to all ! It's good to see such an active and commited community :)

I had also downgraded to rebranded French ruu then applied all the updates till I got FroYo.

Am now considering debranding again with this latest ruu :p
[Legend General] shara6:
do you really have to run it on fastboot?
[Legend General] maxq1:
^ i'm no expert but i guess it's the only way!..or you could extract rom.zip from that ruu & follow steps from my previous post (#274 i think) HTH
[Legend General] maxq1:
glad you had it all working, guys! :D sorry i wasn't much help for the hboot1.0.1 people. that ruu_3.15 did it, i guess..enjoy your froyo! cheers!
[Legend General] Androidin':
Thanks to all that helped figure this out, much appreciated!
[Legend General] boe32:
i have a question about the new froyo on legend, if you press menu button and back button at same time the phone vibrates once then after a few more seconds vibrates 3 or 4 times really fast ,this must mean something or do something it happens every time you press the 2 buttons ,does any one no what it does or means?
[Legend General] shara6:
i didnt have to go to fastboot... just install this with a gold card and you're all set... thanks for the RUU file!!
[Legend General] deusfaux:
On the contrary, very helpful and thank you.

Follow-ups:

1. Why did your OTA from 2.1 WWE fail? Wasn't your phone basically an unbranded unit at that point?

2. Why is this said to be only released in Europe? Only unbranded Legends sold there? The languages built in? Like why wasn't it a world wide update for all unbranded phones everywhere?

3. Can I get back to the Bell Rom / current state of my phone in the future after doing this update/unbranding? For warranty purposes or otherwise. And is warranty service done with Bell or HTC? I'm not a Bell customer.
[Legend General] BWhite22:
1. I'm not entirely clear on that. Kleutscher and some others in this thread provided some worthy speculation but I don't believe a decisive conclusion has been reached. I believe the predominant theory is that the OTA update included some CID checking that can't be defeated by a goldcard. (Your CID is only obscured by the goldcard, not rewritten. Even flashing a ROM doesn't change your CID)

2. I may be overgeneralizing when I describe WWE as predominantly European, but I suspect Europe is the primary part of the world where consumer protection laws are strong enough to force manufacturers to sell phones that are just phones, not baubles held out as contractual enticements by jerkwad carriers. (Just a hint of personal opinion there, eh? ;) ) The languages/locales included in WWE are: (some guesswork in here)

English - many different European countries, South Africa, Israel (The South African English TTS voice had better sound like Wikus from District 9! ;) )

French - various European countries, but names are in French so a couple former French colonies might be included that I haven't noticed

Italian - Austria, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Italy

Spanish - Spain, UK

Dutch - Netherlands, Luxembourg

German - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg

Greek - Greece (or at least it's Greek letters... I assume it says 'Greek'!!)

Portuguese - Portugal, South Africa

Norwegian (Bokmal) - Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland

Danish - Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland

Swedish - Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland

Czech - Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania?

Polish - Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania

Russian - followed by a good 8 or 10 Cyrillic names that I have no idea how to read

Suomi (Finnish)

Hebrew

3. As far as I know, going back to any other ROM is going to be blocked by the upgrade to HBOOT 1.01 which is part of the ROM update. HBOOT doesn't allow you to go backwards in time ROM-wise, which was part of our problem until this RUU was released so we could apply an update with HBOOT 1.01, same as the OTA. Root allows you to downgrade, but like I said, no root exists for 3.15 (2.2) yet.

Here's HTC Canada's repair page: http://www.htc.com/ca/support/service-and-repair

Relevant part: "If your device needs repair and is within warranty, please contact your local operator."

They do seem to have a repair service for out-of-warranty customers willing to pay. I broached the topic of replacing my storage module with them, until this RUU was released. :)
[Legend General] tplotplo:
Just in order to know, how many time took the update on your device?

I'm on this screen since more than 30min:

I don't think it's normal...
[Legend General] BWhite22:
The tip from the graphic you posted (10 minutes) was accurate for me, it was about 10-15. Are you trying to resurrect from a bootloop?
[Legend General] tplotplo:
Thanks for the info mate, I'm going to disconnect the phone...

I'm trying to update to 2.2 from 2.1update1(2.05), it gave me the red triangle when I tried the OTA.

I have the latest HTC sync, goldcard in the phone; and the phone screen is a black background with the white HTC logo.

Hi,

Be carefull with this RUU, GSM will not work after installing the software (Bell Canada)... My phone's only work on CDMA mode now. So, no internet anymore :mad:

Anybody's know what to do? I Can't downgrade to genuine Bell rom, the bootloader has changed for 1.01

[Legend General] Retrolock:
Yup, it'll work. We have the same CID. You probably need to make a gold card though.

[Legend General] Lombric:
I tried with Fido's SIM and your right, it works. The problem seems to be only with Bell's SIM. Maybe the 3.15 version does not support HSDPA (Bell network). Is it possible?

[Legend General] bfksc:
If you ran an RUU, it wiped the phone settings, including the APN or network settings for internet access. What you need to do is add an APN name and enter the settings for Bell, save it, enable it, and you should be fine. I believe these are the current network settings for Bell:

Name: Bell Internet

APN: pda.bell.ca

Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

Port: 80

MMSC: LINK BLOCKED BECAUSE I'M A NEW USER

MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

MMS port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 610

APN type: Internet + mms

Authentication Type: none

Wait a sec...Bell/Telus does NOT have a GSM network, only HSDPA/UMTS or 3G. They don't have a fallback network since they never had GSM to begin with. I'm on Rogers and they have both. With the settings I posted, Bell/Telus networks should work fine for 3G/UMTS/HSDPA data, but they can not offer GSM service.

differences vodafone 3.14 and 3.15 original

Well, I only had it installed for some days and had little experience with the phone anyway, so if you point me to the bugs I can tell you whether they are still here (feel free to pm me).

Benefits for me:

- clean version without start-up screen and stupid apps i dont need (in the French version there were some 5 or 6). just feels better.

- youtube app seems a bit different, more modern and nicer, better to use

- gps/wifi menu seems a bit different when you have a shortcut to switch on/off

- music player has a slightly different look, i think.

i have little experience with the phone in general, i am sure there are other differences between 3.14 vodafone and 3.15 htc original that i havent noticed...
