I have done this on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. If you have a Linux, run *.sh instead of *.bat
Required:
1. A formatted micro SD card.
2. Fully charged phone.
3. A windows PC.
4. Android SDK.
5. Backup tools to backup existing data on your Android phone.
Create GoldCard:
A GoldCard turns your device into a generic device, thereby allowing modifications like installing another firmware possible. There are different methods to create a GoldCard but I found this the easiest:
1. A formatted SD card is necessary for this. A GoldCard is nothing but a formatted SD card with modified CID. Insert the SD card in the phone and format the card (Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Unmount SD Card -> Format SD Card).
2. Download “Klutsch’s GoldCard creation tool” from here. Run this tool as administrator. (this tool is windows only)
3. Enable USB Debugging mode in your phone (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging) and connect the phone to your windows PC.
4. Click on “Get CID” Tab and copy the CID that is generated. In case you get any error, select MMC0.
5. Open the link “http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard“, enter your email id and the CID. You will then get the GoldCard image to the mentioned email id.
6. Download the GoldCard image to PC, from the GoldCard creation tool, click on ‘load GoldCard.img’, select the image that you just downloaded and click on “Patch MMC”.
7. Voila, you now have your GoldCard. Please do not use this card for any other purpose till the rooting process is over and it’s time to downgrade the OS.
Remove the GoldCard and use the primary card till the GoldCard is needed. (not necessary)
Downgrade the OS:
Download the following packages before starting this process:
• Android SDK (copy the SDK to C:\ add C:\androidSDK\Tools to your windows path)
• hack4legendv5.zip
• RUU 1.31 for Legend
Connect your phone to the PC ‘charge only’ mode. copy the contents of hack4legendv5.zip to androidSDK/tools directory and then run the script crackin.bat The phone will reboot couple of times and there will be lot of errors shown in the terminal. In the end look for the line showing permissions for the file /dev/mtd/mtd0. It should look like this:
crwxrwxrwx 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This means that your phone is ready for OS downgrade.
Now, connect your phone to the PC in ‘charge-only’ mode and execute the file RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_ 7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe and just follow the instructions and the phone will reboot to 1.31 version of firmware. And it’s time for Legend to get rooted. There will be a few errors but don’t get disheartened.
Root the Legend:
Time to use the GoldCard. Insert the GoldCard and connect the phone to the PC in ‘charge only’ mode.
1. Download the file r4-legend-root.zip from here. Unzip the file to a directory and cd to the directory.
2. Switch off your Legend, switch it back on in ‘fast boot’ mode (keep the back button pressed while switching the phone ON). When you see that the phone has booted into fast boot screen.
3. Connect the phone to the PC and run step1-windows.bat
4. After that is over, select RECOVERY option. Fastboot screen –> Boot loader -> recovery. You need to use phone’s volume rocker to move up/down the menu and power button to select the option. The phone screen should now show a phone with red caution sign.
5. From the terminal window, run step2-windows.bat. Once this step is completed, the phone will be back in recovery mode. From the options, select ‘wipe data’ and then select the option to update the ROM, select the file ‘rootedupdate.zip’ from SD card. The rooting process will now start and after few minutes, the phone will boot with rooted firmware.
Moderators and other experienced Members, I know my editing isn't perfect here 'cause I'm in a hurry but this is the guide I followed and I was rooted within 15 minutes. Feel free to edit (Mods) and suggest (Members). Umm... does this belong to the Development section?
Fantastic guide. Really great. I had half a mind to do one myself, no need now. This should help a lot of people. It might also be worth going through the other threads, and pulling out an FAQ with links to relevant posts. I'll help with that if you like.
Get this in the stickies!

I have only tested this on a Windows PC, but I'm sure it'll work on Linux too. Added it as a note before the guide. Thanks.

If you can't understand...I'll post another guide.
This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

You also need fastboot drivers.

Either one will be fine. Those are just for temporary Rom because they have fastboot. You wont be keeping them.

little question... how long does it takes to complete the process? my phone is on download mode for like 30 minutes.. kinda nervous here, its stuck at:
3GQCT : wParam = 205, IParam = 0
btw, internet should be on?
What!? You sure u followed the instructions very carefully? Using the KDZ updater tool and correct settings?
yes, followed step by step
What happens if I cancel the process?
Well...which step are you on at the moment?
Step Complete : C Drive Erase
Wo wo wo...so it's done? Finish flashing v2.1 on ur android with fastboot?
dont understand, its done?
Well...what's happening on screen in the updater? Does your phone reboot now? No more safe mode?
If it is rebooting then it's done. Now all you have to do is get into fastboot mode which means holding CAMERA + POWER when turning on your phone.
on the phone is still download mode and the last line on the updater is:
3GQCT : wParam = 205, IParam = 0
Did you uncheck "Mass Storage Only" in the phone before you flashed? That may be ur problem....or try unmounting the SD.
yea, I think mass storage only was off, and sd card isnt in
What about USB debugging mode? That needs to be checked.

You need a dev unlocked phone.
Use the chevron wp7 method.
IF YOU HAVE ERRORS CONECTING THE PHONE TO CHEVRONwp7 PROGRAM, two ways to try to solve it.
METHOD ONE:
1. Have Winphone developer tools installed. Download it for yourself
2. Connect Phone via USB
3. Wait till zune starts and sync completes
4. Verify that zune is not in a guest relationship
5. open a command prompt, type netstat -a to confirm that port 443 is not being used
6. open an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to windowsphone developer services
7. go to the settings on the phone and turn airplane mode on (so that the phone is forced to use internet via zune)
8. While the phone is still on the settings page, run Chevron with admin privileges
Attention: if port 443 is used (see on your list) stop IIS or exit Skype program
METHOD 2
1. Click the Windows Icon.
2. On the search box, type device manager, click enter
3. Click continue when prompted
4. On the device manager window, find "Portable Devices"
5. Right click on your Leo. Uninstall
6. Unplug your device. if you can find another "Portable Devices" uninstall it also (as it was for my case)
7. Restart PC
8. Plug device again (Do not open Zune software yet)
9. Windows should try to install driver for the device. Click on it. After installing there should be two things in there... the other one is your Leo ready to use. I can't remember the other one, but I think it is "storage card ready to use"
10. When done correctly. Zune will open up on its own.
11. See the device sync
12. Your free space should appear in the zune software
13. Run Chevron
14. It should open now without the "uh oh" error
Then follow the original instruction on how to install chevron
I have tried it on my omnia 7 and it works. The HTC Hub can be found as an .xap file in the xda wp7 forums if im not wrong. you can install it with Tom's Xap Installer 1.2 in the xda forums too
HOPE I HELPED
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE
* Steps:
1st You need to get to: alpharev.nl/x/beta/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:
Settings --> about phone --> phone identity.
Now, do the following:
1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run AlphaRevX and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. AlphaRevX should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the AlphaRevX software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. AlphaRevX should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)
Rooting the device:
Step 1 - Installing the USB drivers
Download USB drivers (here) and extract them on desktop. Turn off your wildfire and boot into HBOOT by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button. Connect your phone to your PC and it will show "drivers installing" or similar there for Android device. When prompted, install the drivers by going to device manager and browsing to the folder where you extracted the drivers. Once installed, disconnect and reboot your phone normally.
Now you need to install the “Android bootloader interface”.
Connect your HTC wildfire to the PC and it will ask for drivers again, now go to device manager, click on unknown device “other devices”.
Click on update driver -> install from specific location -> No i will choose to install -> choose Android phone and click on “adb interface” -> click next -> when asked to install click on continue anyway, just install them.
Once done you will see your phone recognized as "Android bootloader interface".
Now disconnect your phone and go into:
Settings -> applications - > development - > enable USB Debugging.
Congratulations, the first step is complete.
go to:http://www.4shared.com/file/K3HTXWWd/GingerBreak-v120.html
and download the file...and put it anywhere in ur phone....
switch on your phone and install gingerbreak..
awitch on the app...
and then press root..
after it is done it will either reboot itself or you reboot it manually...
congrats your phone is now rooted..!!!!
Nice. I rooted my phone this way aswell!
Its usefull for people with newer HBOOT versions!
no need to do this so complicated...
just s-off using alpharev x, install clockwork mod recovery and start flashing ROOTED roms.
no need for gingerbreak. and if you want to root your current ROM, just use the su.zip
!!
i felt that this was easier then that one..!!
THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU ROOT ANY WILDFIRE WITH HBOOT VERSION 1.01.0001/1.01.0002
This guide is in fact a combination of two other guides:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I take no responsibility for whatever may happen to your phone.
To root, you first need to gain S-OFF, this part is taken from the first thread.
So here we go,
- Before doing anything, make sure you have the latest HTC SYNC on your PC (get it from here).
- Connect your phone to PC and sync all your data (contacts, media, docs...etc.)
- Disconnect your phone, then uninstall HTC SYNC, but you must leave the drivers on your PC.
(i.e. Uninstall the htc sync program only, not the drivers)
S-OFFing the Device
Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX "now named: Revolutionary" (HBOOT 1.01.0001)
It has been confirmed that AlphaRevX "Revolutionary" tool is not S-OFFing wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002!
Therefore, downgrading the HBOOT to 1.01.0001 is must for the meantime, to get an efficient S-OFF.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).
So, here’s a small package to help you do this.
click here.
If you have HBOOT 1.01.0001, you can skip to the step entitled Revolutionary
Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like your “Desktop” for example.
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.
How to deal with Gold-Card Tool:
1. Switch off your phone, remove your microSD card.
2. Insert the microSD card into your card reader, connect it to your computer and format the card to FAT32 file system.
3. Insert the card into your HTC Wildfire and power it on.
4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.
5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and set the mode to charge only.
6. Launch Gold-Card Tool on your computer and click ‘GetCID’.
7. Copy the CID code from the text box and click the link shown below that text box to open it in your browser window.
8. In the browser window, enter all the details required and submit that form.
9. You should now get an email from PSAS. Open it and download the ‘GoldCard.img’ attachment.
10. Now set your phone’s USB mode to Mass Storage.
11. In Gold-Card Tool, click ‘Refresh’.
12. Select your mounted SD card from the drop-down menu saying “HTC MMC:”
13. Click ‘Load Goldcard.img’ and select the file downloaded in Step 11.
14. Click ‘Patch MMC’ and your Gold Card will be created. You may exit Gold Card Tool once done.
After you've made the goldcard, and patched it, continue with step 2.
• Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.
Revolutionary
* Steps:
1st You need to get to: http://revolutionary.io/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:

1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run Revolutionary and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. Revolutionary should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)
Now, to get to actually rooting the phone by installing clockworkmod and subsequently, the superuser app.
1. Ensure that your SD Card is FAT32 then copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
2. Go into HBOOT(switch off phone and switch on while holding down the volume down button) and click yes when it asks you to update
3. Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
4. Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
5. Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that) (Protip: Navigate in the recovery with the trackpad, not the power button!)
6. Click choose zip from sdcard
7. Locate your zip and let it update
8. Boot into your now rooted phone and install ROM Manager from the market.
9. Open ROM manager and Install Clockword Mod recovery (or sth like that) twice in a row (this is important to ensure proper installation)
YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!!
Optional: Use ROM manager to install CyanogenMod or another ROM of your choosing

Firstly, were you even on HBOOT version 1.01.0002?
If you were, check if the downgrade was successful after running step2.bat
If it wasn't make sure HTC Sync has been uninstalled but the drivers have not
If the drivers are in place, I suggest looking for a solution at the orginal guide found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035

The first instruction tells you to switch off the phone before removing the SD card.
Try it again.
If it doesnt work, run everything as administrator, else, go to the orginal thread and post your problems there

Shouldn't.... but I did it on a XP 32 bit so maybe you could try running in compatibility mode...
i tried that but no luck..... i also tried on my windows vista 32bit with no luck
Finally got this process to work for me after numerous unsuccessful attempt. Main problem was I was using Win7. Switched to Win 3.1 and things worked.
Also in the guide the step
7. Copy the CID code from the text box
Need to me clarified to ... "Copy the reversed CID code from the text box "
After that all good and am now back on Hboot 1.01.0001.
Thanks for the guide.
Like a charm. Thanks.
Thanks for the information

make sure that you're using the proper controls...:
After boot you select items by vol keys and choose by hitting the power button.
In CWM you also select by vol keys but choose by hitting trackball
Have you done so?

At first boot it might take a while to boot up. If it remains stuck on the logo I'd suggest to reinstall but do a "full wipe/factory reset" from inside ClockworkMod (even better format system and data before).
BTW Which ROM are you trying to install?
Thank u very much for ur help....I appreciate u people very much....
Bt actually that rom was not good that's y I was facing that issue

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CMD and are on Windows 7 (or similar), make sure you start CMD in admin mode.
Otherwise it doesn't work.
1- Make sure the files are stored in a folder in C:\ (or somewhere very short unless you know command line). For example: C:\goldcard
Copy the files from the folder they came in and throw them in there.
2- Go to start and write CMD. Now DO NOT single click the program or type enter. Instead do CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER
This opens it in Admin mode. (some pop up confirmation may appear).
3- Navigate to the folder by writing "cd C:\goldcard". (Without the quotation marks of course. Use the name of the folder you created in step number one.)
4- write step1.bat
That should do it. The same applies to step2.
