Use BTDAG's guide, follow it step by step and you should be fine. If you run into problems, post there. Someone will help.
There is no way of doing it without connection to pc/laptop as far as I know.

Can someone help me. i want to install some custom roms, but i cant get the root thing to work.
i've tried to make a goldcard, but i only get error 171
and the other methods i have tried, the phone disconnects once i launche the downgrade program..
need some serious help
thank you in advance..
have you made the goldcard correctly, are you using an ruu to downgrade, are your adb drivers for 2.1 installed correcly, what opperating system, x64 or x86?
Please go to the sticky in the development forum, and try that guide.
It works on ota or ruu 2.1, so that should get you sorted out.
hey guy
help me..my wildfire shows no update for your phone.even android 2.2 is available for others ..i read somewhere that u get update on 1.25 build number..
i have download this file HTC asia buzz 1.14 to 1.25 signed.exe
but its shows some error while flashing...help me
and my phone is not rooted...
I'm not sure what the "asia buzz 1.14 to 1.25 signed.exe" is but you should try the 1.25 from shipped roms (or one of the others listed there):
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142190_signed.exe
Read the last post on:

as you may need to use a goldcard. Be careful about installing 2.2 as youy cannot root it (see post)

Have a look in Wildfire Android Development (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=701) for these more technical questions.
Do not update to Froyo 2.2 before trying to upgrade to CM. Froyo will prevent rooting and the subsequent upgrade to CM.
Root the phone first by using unRevoked3 (http://unrevoked.com/#wildfire).
This will also install Clockwork Recovery as part of the process.
Then follow the installation instructions for CM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822132
Don't update to 2.2 as stated above. You will lose the ability to install any custom ROM's as CM.
To root and install custom ROM's, just read this guide completely and follow it step by step. You cant go wrong.

what to select if i select it ask me some .img file (which img file i need to give at that selection )..
reply me dude..also u said it will flash clockwork recovery how?? tell me procedure
As mentioned in the previous post, you should read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396 as it will answer these questions.
I'm not sure what you are talking about with the file menu and img files, etc.
Put simply, install Unrevoked3 on your PC. (If you are running windows you will have to install the HBOOT drivers to your PC: with linux you wont). Set your phone to 'USB debug' mode. Connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable. On the phone select "Charge only" mode. Start Unrevoked3 and don't touch anything until Unrevoked says that it has finished.
Its quite easy!
thnaks i have install cynogen mod works good

i have install cynogen
Hi all,
Yesterday I tried to root my legend to flash a custom rom (CyanogenMod 7).
Everything worked fine until I decided I also wanted to flash an unsigned Data2Ext zip.
So I first Wiped everything, then flashed CM7 ( successful ) and then tried to flash Data2Ext.
This didn't work (I think the error was something like "no signature").
After that I quit the recovery mode and my legend was stuck in a boot loop. Also, when connecting my legend to the pc and trying to get into recovery mode, my Legend was recognized as being "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". Windows tries to install drivers but unsuccesful, so I can't get into recovery mode anymore.
The only solution I found to get out of the boot loop was to unroot my Legend again. (Using this guide )
However, I still can't get into recovery mode for the same reason (and thus can't root my Legend anymore).
Also, when connecting my legend with the pc when already booted (I'm back to htc sense android 2.1), it doesn't let me get a good usb connection. My phone is charging, but windows says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it".
I think these problems might be related, but the first problem is my main concern, as I want to flash a custom rom again.
I've used many search terms, but could not find an answer that would solve my problems. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Note: I don't have root access anymore and am running Windows XP.
Also, the rest of my phone's functions is working correctly it seems.
Hi!
First I would try to install some FOTA, since you obviously can't install anything else... you might look to Shipped ROMs...
(don't install Froyo if you can, you'd probably end up with HBOOT 1.01 which is not that easily rooted, but still can be done...)
As those are most probably properly signed, you should be able to flash them from SD card, so no USB connection needed...(choose LEGEIMG starting archives, .exe needs USB) - the filename to flash from SD must be legeimg.zip
That should fix your USB connection issues I hope...
Then I'd try to re-root (See stickies in Development)
I tried flashing a FOTA (LEGEIMG_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7
.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.zip) but I think that's the one I already flashed using this topic. It reads the legeimg.zip but doesn't give me the option to update, so I guess they're the same?
For some reason I now also get the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" notification when trying to connect as USB Disk station to the computer, so not the "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it" error.
Edit: Now I get the malfunction error again..
Could the solution to my problem be to find the drivers for the Qualcomm thing? And if so, where can I find those?
Edit2: New development;
Legend now freezes completely when connecting to USB. I have to take out the battery to get it working again..
Edit3:
I've taken another look at the hboot screen and it gives me the following info:
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000 <-- isn't that strange, since I'm running 1.31?
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07-0103
RADIO-7.05.35.26L
Nov 8 2010,15:24:15
Also, when I try to flash the 2.03 zip from here, it finds the legeimg.zip and asks me if I want to update. When I do so, it tells me "CID incorrect! Update Fail!"
Oh maan, I guess HBOOT-1.01 and 1.31 is not working out then...And since there's no way to downgrade HBOOT, you have to flash Froyo ROM...but to do that you need a goldcard: Here is a HowTo
Then you can flash a ROM with different CID then your own...
note: 2.03 is not Froyo, and since shipped-roms only has RUU, you might look into this: HowTo Extract RUU
And then you just ROOT again

try using attached driver by replacing the current one on your xp box. had the same problem before. HTH
aw, man! you missed your chance on s-off. anyway, since you're on hboot 1.00+ already (& from the looks of it, you lost your root), Dr Romca's link for rooting should work

However, yesterday I couldn't make a new goldcard, since my device wasn't recognized. I will try to make one again this afternoon, using a W7 machine.
I will let you know the results!

Edit:
Still no luck trying to create a goldcard, since the pc doesn't recognize my device, regardless what type of connection (charge-only, htc sync etc) I select. In windows 7 I also get the device malfunctioned error.
Trying to use the adb command only returns "No Device found" (or sth like that).
Using the driver Maxq1 gave me doesn't seem to work (unless I'm doing it wrong that is)

You mean you've rooted your Legend?
I am experiencing the exact same problem as you've described while trying desperately to root my HTC Legend.
I start up Fastboot, run Step1, then go into Bootloader (and also getting the same error message about the .zip file), then Recovery mode, and my computer (W7) recognizes the device at this point as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, and fails to install the drivers.
When trying to run step2, I get an error message telling me "device not found".
I am also running 1.31 and Hboot 1.01.0000
Would really appreciate some help
I didn't really document my steps (I should have ), but I think the Qualcomm bug was fixed by following this guide.
Let me know if it works out for you.

thanks for your rply bro
I downloaded RUU, as instructed at htcdev.com
but that always gives an error 102, battery is less then 30%
though my battery is fully charges
unable to unlock my bootloader
You need to downgrade your device.
When you download AAHK, there is a manual inside it (the 'effin manual). Read it without skipping anything.
Inside the manual you can find instructions on downgrading your device. You need to do so before you can root on 2.3.5
If you are having problems booting your phone now, go back to stock ROM by doing the following:
Go into HBoot, then into fastboot.
Connect your DHD to your PC via USB.
Wait for the PC to recognize it.
Download this RUU: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cf9...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Run it as administrator and follow instructions
hi can you complete this step?
when my htc desire got into soft brick while I was trying to root, attn1 gave me this very same instruction so I got my phone running again on stock
I want to learn this in case my phone got stuck again at the HTC logo (after flashing the radio)
1. go to HBOOT
2. go to fast boot
3. plug device into computer and make sure it read FASTBOOT USB
then he told me something to run cmd prompt as admin and
adb something something, then asked the directory was where I put my PD98IMG (which was on my desktop)
sorry I can no longer remember so I am asking for your help.
can you complete the steps above so I can try rooting again. I know that If I get stuck I can push the stock rom again
I really want to root my device.
Maybe try what is written in this post: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253 (Sorry, cant post links properly yet.)
This has all of the instructions for being stuck at the hboot screen.

The Zune driver is different from the HTC Diagnostic driver that is required to flash roms. If you read my guide stickied to this sub-forum, "[HOWTO] Use DFT HSPL with Verizon Trophy (SparkW only!)" that will show you EVERY step you need to get HSPL installed onto your phone to flash custom roms. This includes explaining what you need to do to install the diagnostic drivers. After HSPL is installed, you can flash any custom rom you want (for SparkW, do not attempt to flash Spark GSM roms to your phone!).
Fortunately, you indeed can downgrade the bootloader via RUU with SparkW... Spark users are not so lucky (they need GoldCard).
As far as unlocking the phone for T-Mobile, you'll be in for a huge disappointment as some have said that the phone will not post HSPA+ speeds on T-Mobile (as the radio and hardware don't support the bands). You'll need to pay an unlock service to security unlock the sim-card slot, but before starting in on all of this, you may want to ask yourself if its worth the effort for a phone that may get stuck in 2G.
Here is an older thread that I replied too on the issue. Here is another thread on unlocking the Verizon Trophy SIM Card slot.
Here is yet another thread on someone who tired to use the phone on StraightTalk and couldn't get above Edge speeds.

Drivers shouldn't matter. As long as you follow this step to enable Windows to download drivers from Windows Update, you shouldn't need to worry at all as the OS will download them. It's much easier then manually tracking them down, and most Windows 7 installations have the feature disabled by default for some reason. If you do use this method, Windows will ask to install Windows Mobile Device Center.. which is fine since most roms (mine included) have software installed to allow WMDC to be used on WP7.
