I think to do that again but before you go move system.img and splash1.nb0 of rom1.zip in fimware.zip and then renamed to rom.zip.

This system.img me look like a key file on the situation, Can hardly get worse more ....
[Legend General] kleutscher:
oing to give it a try. post result soon.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
hmmmm

error 132 signature error that is what i get now.

and what if i change the android-info.txt

or is the signature error something different.
[Legend General] i4o:
very stupid situation FU#@$#$@CK ****ing idiots HTC

yeah indeed i tried some couple of ways with sim card without simcard. with goldcard. with sd card. all error 132 signature error.

People, downgrade and install an original Voda ROM
[Legend General] YoungPretender:
That's what I'm trying to do the now. Do you know where I can download the original Vodafone FroYo Rom?

I can't install the 1.xxx verson, it's giving me lots of headaches

Cheers
[Legend General] ab1cor:
Hmm I don't know where can you get an original Voda Froyo ROM, but you can use this tutorial and install this RUU.

This is what I've done and now I have Froyo. :)

When our forum members dwelling closer to GMT and beyond wake up, maybe some of the more knowledgeable ones with respect to Android terminology could evaluate this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843544

If it really does prevent or revert error 140, that would seem pretty helpful for us "bootloopers". I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be overlooking some trickery in the Legend's inner workings, however.

I'm not currently hoping to successfully flash Unbranded FroYo back onto my Debranded phone, only to get back to a workable Eclair. But I have no idea what the significance of a "phone image version" is w/r/t the bootloader and what I should change it to with my phone.

Thanks in advance, if anyone feels like giving it an eyeball. Hopefully it can help some other people too.
[Legend General] shara6:
i dont know if there's hope for the DEBRANDED phones for they still have the CID number of vodafone...

i get the red triangle myself but my phone is UNBRANDED, coz my cid number (044) isn't included with the update released in EU.. so i guess i'll have to wait for the next batch of froyo for other areas...
[Legend General] shara6:
the CID check is one hell of a SECURITY check!!! it will be hard to get through this one...
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
could someone try this to confim if it works or not.
[Legend General] maxq1:
since you've got nothing to lose, guys, try this (worked on hboot 1.0)...i take no responsibility of course

for hboot 1.0:

http://www.2shared.com/file/7dOdgwqH/LEGEIMG.html

d/l then save it on the root of your sd card (it should be made gold first, if it doesn't work on first try).

turn on your gizmo to your bootloader (back button or vol down + power) & let it update everything

after this, you'll get RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_FR_3.14.163.1_Radio_47 .51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_156976_signed -- unrooted

for hboot w/ higher version:

look for ruu 3.15 & d/l it (i'm sure you'll find it somewhere ;))

extract rom.zip from ruu

rename extracted rom.zip to LEGEIMG

follow steps for hboot 1.0 above

HTH
[Legend General] thugzie:
well I went to my home and downloaded this update by Wifi... there was absolutely no problem during install - but it took a long time.. after phone rebooted everything was working slugishly.. but after some time (without live walls) it is running like a charm.

I have Unlocked, unbranded (not debranded) phone.

and im using launcher pro though sense is much better than before.

have you all managed to do something about this frikkin red triangle?
[Legend General] aneesh45:
@thugnigga

Where did you buy your phone? and did you ever use shipped-ROMs (for 2.03.405.3)?
[Legend General] shara6:
ahh yes... the red triangle... the most evil triangle i've ever seen... broke my heart last night...
[Legend General] RunSeven:
anybody who does not object to a A1 logo on startup, try this, it worked for me... I am now running FroYo on a previously debranded and now rebranded vodafone Legend.
[Legend General] thugzie:
I bought it in Poland at some retailer who had many HTC models. I never messed with roms and rooting as I was waiting for official froyo and now maybe I will root.

As far as I know about CID - on older phones CID might be changed, I've done it with some SE phones - isnt that possible on HTC? :/
[Legend General] senm:
I found this on a site.

It seems we can change our CID number of the phone.

I haven't tried the software yet cause i am at work.

It may work for the people who debranded their phone.
[Legend General] Timothye:
So this I sorted out now ?
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
So, I've a unbranded new HTC Legend. I think my filesystem is (maybe ?) corrupted. Is there a way to reinitialize my phone ? (this is : to put Android as it was when I bought the legend ?)
[Legend General] aneesh45:
@thugnigga

Thanks. I changed my ROM to the European one ONLY because my WiFi broke after the 2.1 update1 OTA. Not my fault really what with all these faulty updates. And now they are trying to lock out regional updates for unbranded phones using cid! This is not what I expect from HTC. Luckily my phone is still working normally. I will have to either

1. Revert back to an Indian ROM and wait for Froyo

2. Root
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
the software needs a riff box or possible just a jtag cable. The box is £100 and even then you have to take the phone apart and more than likley start soldering wire to the board not exactly what most people would feel comfortable doing.
[Legend General] senm:
Ok thats not very handy then.

I hoped that we could change the CID with the software.

Search continuous...
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
a few years back there was an app for the 1st gen iphone that allowed you to change the imei which is at the same low access level that would be needed to change the cid, so it is possible to change the cid by software but that all depends on how wide open the legend really is (and some smart ass dev building the app/script of course).
[Legend General] kleutscher:
goodmorning;)

im going to have a look at this.

i know someone nearby that unlocks all phones and has loads of software etc to repair and unlock phones. he also repairs bad flashed/bricked phones for around 20 bucks.

but if he can fix this one i dont know. but for 20 bucks i could give it a try.

but not leaving this thread:)

im to curious to find a fix:p
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
As this thread seems to be mainly concerned about the CID-related stuff, I started another thread for people of the "third group" (this is : unbranded not rooted HTC Legend).
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
+1 a sim free legend is a different issue to what most people on here have got.
[Legend General] maxq1:
post #274, guys. anyone tried it? seems your problems (htc logo appears, then screen goes blank then back to the logo again and so on..) are very similar to the one i encountered a week before w/ hboot 1.0 (yup, way before htc's froyo ota for unbranded). i'm guessing the same solution applies to the new hboot..

UPDATE: shark812 seems to have it working now
[Legend General] kleutscher:
no i didnt try but its on my list of trying:)

but i need to go in a bit. but im back soon and then ill give it a try.

also need to get a cardreader first:) makes things a lot easier.

shark812? did he get it to work.

had he a bootlooper?
[Legend General] PandaVoyageur:
Well good luck to you guys, I hope this whole mess won't end in a river of bricked phones!

As for myself, downgrade/root/flash went fine and I'm enjoying Froyo with rooted Modaco rom :)
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Did some digging on this shark812 (he was/is in a boot loop) business and here's what I found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9695634

The last post in that thread points at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822726 wherein several people say that they weren't able to avoid the 'Main Version is Older' error. :(

shark812's last post (hey buddy, if you're reading this) was actually in this thread, and didn't seem to indicate any success.

I have tried the 2.03 LEGEIMG.zip recovery method outlined in the second thread I am posting, but got 'Main Version is Older' again...

My phone was saved by maxq1, with a LEGEIMG.ZIP. See previous pages for that file.

i have lower version of hboot... but i don want to have the froyo from vodafone... my phone is unbranded, no root, yet i still get the evil red triangle when i update OTA... do you think i can still get the 3.15??

btw im genocide from tcp... peace brad! hehe
[Legend General] Siako:
How did you open the OTA Zip file ? My archive manager says it is corrupted :/
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Hi everyone !

I've just sent a message to Ladios, the author of that topic Changing phone image version, in order to ask him how works his tool and if it could works on legend and help us all to install a workable version of Eclair 2.1

I'll tell you the news about it if he gives me an answer (I hope he will ^^).

For the CID stuff, the Riff box seems interesting, but costs 150$ O_o
[Legend General] porzione:
OTA zip have extra bytes at the beginning of the file, digital sign or smth like this. Try to use other archiver or plain old unzip.
[Legend General] Debumt:
For people with a boot-loop device use the guide on post 274 in this thread, it worked for me

Hi PandaVoyageur, j'ai besoin de ton aide

I have an htc legend with official rom and not rooted, i tried however to root it lastly but it was unsuccessful. i have 2.1 update 1 firmware and 2.05.405.2 software. i tried the update today and i have the red triangle problem as everyoen, tried with clean sd/card same result .

I just want to have the update no matter if that suppose i have to root it, can you give me any hint or links in the forum for a step by step way to root and update my phone to froyo

Ca serait cool !

Thanx in advance
[Legend General] Greedybro:
So this appently works for bootlooped Legends. Okay.

BUT my Hboot version is 1.01, so I have to extract from the RUU 3.15, which I canno't find :S

Are change my hboot version to 1.0 then I can, try it.

Does somebody want to share a link to this RUU 3.15 please ?

Does somebody has a way to change the hboot version ?
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Thanks for a further confirmation of the trick's effectiveness - I'm glad we're seeing some real progress. :) You were on HBOOT 1.0 I anticipate?

Regarding the 3.15.405.3 RUU, (per maxq1's tip for HBOOT 1.01) it seems it was officially released today - but I have no way to find it as of yet. Here's a Google Translate of a forum I was eyeballing: http://translate.google.com/transla...&u=http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-43403-1-1.html

Yes, I am desperate enough to go diving deep into foreign language forums. I don't see a hyperlink to the RUU in that thread, however, and I can't find any indication on HTC Europe's page that the RUU is available through there either.

EDIT: Here's another faint glimmer: http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/SFR/DeviceDownloads.aspx - this appears to be the download section for SFR devices, I believe a French carrier? Virtual directory listing is disabled on the web server, so we can't just prod around at higher directories, but I wonder if we can find the subdirectory for WWE with a little tenacity. The SFR one requires you to enter an IMEI number, and I guess the same is true of the WWE one if it exists - my IMEI probably won't validate. Perhaps somebody with a valid WWE (unbranded) IMEI number can help a brother out?
[Legend General] fox1t:
I got the same problem as all of you guys... I decide to install Vodafone UK rom and i updated it to froyo today... I got unrooted debranded Fastweb Legend and i think i ll stay on vodafone uk until someone will find a working solution.
[Legend General] Greedybro:
I have an sfr legend. And yes it is the french brand of vodafone. So my IMEI should be reconize, but I don't really understand what you want to do with. Explain me and I'll give it a try !
[Legend General] dr00g:
edit: fixed
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Thanks for volunteering. :) I was a bit vague - I'm not so interested in the SFR RUUs, but in trying to determine if the site dl.htc.com also hosts a subdirectory (comparable to SFR's - think dl.htc.com/ruudownload/WWE, although that doesn't seem to exist) off which the WWE/unbranded RUUs are served.

If that is the case, and if that does have the IMEI check, then someone with an unbranded phone could volunteer the use of their IMEI to facilitate grabbing the file. Not sure if anyone would be comfortable with that - perhaps grabbing and redistributing would work better, provided there isn't an overriding copyright concern.
[Legend General] Greedybro:
ok I get it. I tried the tool to change phone image version, but didn't work. Or maybe I don't know how to use it properly.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
hmmmm

so some people fixed their bootloop phones?

only they had a hboot 1.00 am i right?

for the hboot1.01 the people in this thread need the ruu 3.15.403.3?

i am a bit confused.
[Legend General] Greedybro:
yes apprently that's it !!

but I can't find it !

EDIT : Kleutscher I invit you on gmail to chat, also had you on msn
[Legend General] BWhite22:
I believe you have it straight, Kleutscher. Post 274 indicates (presumably from foreknowledge of the architecture, being that I don't believe it could have been tested with 3.15 and 1.01 just yet) that HBOOT 1.01 suckers like ourselves could use the rom.zip from 3.15 in the 3.14 LEGEIMG to effect a reinstall of 3.14 Vodafone FroYo.

EDIT: I believe the description above may be inaccurate - renaming the rom.zip from 3.15 RUU to LEGEIMG.zip apparently should actually remedy the bootloop issue without reverting to 3.14?

Provided that Vodafone ROM works with the A6365 Legend (North American UMTS 850/1900) I will be very happy even with a slightly dumb branded ROM, for now. I was able to use the WWE 2.05.405.2 on my North American phone before.
[Legend General] i4o:
Well we tested it above but I doide another idea.

Rrename OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_release_160.zip to rom.zip and and then replace it with rom1.zip. end then procede to instalation.
[Legend General] Debumt:
My Legend Was a Hboot 1.00. I have also been looking for the RUU_3.15... but can't find it. Maybe it hasn't been officially released yet?
[Legend General] maxq1:
'coz 3.14 installs hboot 1.0.. 3.15 installs a newer hboot, apparently
[Legend General] maxq1:
you got it wrong, bro. ruu_3.14 won't have the 3.15-rom.zip..anyway, just not sure though but maybe you could try the same LEGEIMG for hboot 1.0. i'm surpised kleutscher & the rest of you guys haven't tried it yet
[Legend General] kleutscher:
if im right the thing what i thought of is:

we are bootlooping becouse we tried to flash the firmware.zip (renamed it legeimg.zip) but its missing a important system.img file.

so if im right we installed a half complete legeimg.zip/rom.

so we have installed a half compleet rom and that is why it cant boot.

so no cid check fail. becouse we bypassed it with the goldcard?

a bootloop becouse weare missing some important OS files.

in the ota there are three root files firmware.zip and 2 others and some directories like system etc.

are these directories the files that you could find when extracting a system.img?
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Thanks - I had an inkling I was wrong on some note. I did actually try the initial LEGEIMG for HBOOT 1.0; got the 'Main Version is Older' error.

Cheers. :)
[Legend General] maxq1:
@ kleutscher

right on, man! i dunno how hboot 1.0.1 (or was that 1.1?) is configured now so it won't do more harm trying LEGEIMG for hboot 1.0. who knows, it might work..
[Legend General] maxq1:
@ BWhite22 & the rest of you guys on the new hboot

i'm sorry. that LEGEIMG for hboot 1.0 won't work. was able to check on it just now. i might have something for you by tomorrow (haven't slept for over 24hrs now :o).
[Legend General] i4o:
Yes I think the same because this is the only OTA 3.15 update and system.img is unzipped inside

We will ask you to test this in post 314
[Legend General] kleutscher:
we are trying to pack the unpacked system files in to a system.img and combine this one with the ones in firmware.zip.

and then rename his one to legeimg.zip

place this legeimg.zip on a goldcard and boot bootloader.

the cid isnt any problem anymore becouse it get bypassed by the goldcard

how i know we bypassed the cid?:

becouse of this i posted earlier in the thread before my bootloop problem.

this happen when trying to boot with firmware.zip renamed to legeimg.zip

tried it and get an error "CID incorrect!"

doesnt this mean that you need an goldcard?

hope not becouse i broke my cardreader:P

after that i tried it again with a goldcard and it started installing. and after that bootlooping becouse we are missing the important system.img files
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Now that's dedication. :) I really appreciate it - if you do get something workable rigged up you will be THE MAN.

Anyway, have a good rest.
[Legend General] Siako:
Hmmmm no, my OTA zip file start like a ZIP, but there's cleartext data at the end of the file, and I can't find any end central directory ... like if it was a special zip file format only handled by some HTC software :(

How did you extract the files ?

Edit : OK my ZIP file was REALLY corrupt, I re(dled it and everything is ok ...
[Legend General] kleutscher:
does someone have experience with repacking the unpacked system files in the ota into a system.img. that we can use to combine with the firmware.zip
[Legend General] nolook:
this probably wont work for people in boot loops but im wondering if the wrong CID can be avoided by simply using a gold card when installing the htc unbranded froyo?

i read that the gold card would bypass the CID check - would this work? also has anyone had any luck with changing the CID with the hack posted a few pages back?
[Legend General] xedma:
I tried OTA update with my gold card installed... nothing red triangle! without bootloop :) (I'm lucky... for now!!!)
[Legend General] ryaneu:
I tried OTA update with gold card installed but same red triangle.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
if you read the lasst two pages.

you should have readed that cid is no problem becouse it can be bypassed by the goldcard.

the problem is that we are missing the system.img in the firmware.zip.

this way you flash a incomplete legeimg.zip and you get in to a bootloop, becouse it is missing the system files that are needed to run an boot the OS.

but the system data is unpacked in the OTA zip.

we only need to make a system.img from the unpacked data found in the OTA zip.

and combine the system.img with the data within firmware.zip and rename it to legeimg.zip or updaste.zip.

or we have to wait till the RUU is released(if they release it) then we can rip the rom.zip out of it and rename it legeimg.zip and then use a goldcard.

but we dont know if the RUU is going to be released. and my phone is still bootlooping.

So im trying to create a system.img from the system data found in the ota but im a noob in this.

So if there is someone with experience your help is really welcome to create a system.img the right way so we can combine it with firmware.zip found in the ota.
[Legend General] nolook:
so this worked for you by just using the gold card when getting the unbranded froyo update OTA? what phone did you originally have and i assume you downgraded it?

i do realize we dont have a complete RUU version yet (to make a complete update.zip) for those in the boot loop...
[Legend General] kleutscher:
tried it but still error 132 signature error.

the only thing i know what would work is making the system.img from the ota unpacked system files.

going to try but i really could some help becouse im a total noob in it.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
yeah but wouldnt it be possible to create a system.img becouse we got all the system files needed in the ota.

but i dont know if it is possible to make a system.img out of these files.

is it possible?

im not going to modify the system files only repack it to a system.img.

like they would do in the RUU rom.zip for 3.15
[Legend General] nolook:
it should be possible but i have no idea how to make it...

im trying to do research so i dont end up in a boot loop since my legend is my main phone (dont have landline)...im very disappointed with HTC for screwing over the enthusiast market in this update...
[Legend General] xedma:
NO IT'S NO WORKING ----> RED TRIANGLE: I have a debranded one from "FASTWEB" (italy) with last update from HTC (OTA)... but FROYO update (OTA) don't want install!!!
[Legend General] nolook:
ok thanks - so the gold card seems like it will only work when updating from SD card...and for that we need a complete RUU or for someone to make one...
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
oh, **** :-) My Legend maded for Taiwan and Asia region :-D

muhahaha, i bought it in Europe.

and yes, red triangle.

There is any progress, guys ?=)
[Legend General] kleutscher:
yep we need the rom.zip from the RUU or make one from the ota files.

then use a goldcard and flash it. directly installing from RUU i think wont bypass the cidcheck directly from SDcard will.
[Legend General] iodine:
I downgraded to 1.31 rooted and installed RomManager with Paul's r1-3.14 ROM

Whoa .. I'm now on Froyo.

Yes! goldcard or not OTA update don't care! and yes we wait for a GOOD RUU!!! no other choice for now!!!

HTC Legend froyo original zip?

Hi:

I have downloaded this morning an original HTC Froyo rom.zip (I think) using an url with a script that check all the updates availables into HTC server, so I don't remember the url. I did it in my other laptop and I don't have here. Does anyone know this url? I think that I saw it into XDA-Developers but I can't find it :(.

Is this .zip the file that you need? Sorry, I'm newbie and maybe I'm wrong. Sorry if it isn't.
[Legend General] BWhite22:
Thanks for your offer; unfortunately that is almost certainly the FOTA update (probably obtained from the hyperlink in the ZUBU.CA update checker script) which we already have access to. Nonetheless, we appreciate it. :-)
[Legend General] LukeS007:
Thanks BWhite22. Yes, I have downloaded from there. Sorry :( .
