Now that FroYo is coming... - Legend General

Okay now that FroYo is supposedly coming in a few "weeks"... Will we have to root it the same way or will it be simpler?
Hopefully unrEVOked comes up with 2.2 rooting for the LEGEND.

We won't know until it arrives and the guru's have had a peak... Maybe HTC will release it S-OFF

It will be WEEKSSSSSS before we see anything... it could be Christmas or New Years Eve...

They have no reason to do that.

Black Legend vs Silver

What are the differences between the new legend and the old, silver one?
If the black one will be shipped with 2.2 Froyo, does it means that the silver one will receive the update soon?
FroYo is coming to the standard Legend.
Only difference from what we've been told thus far is the black ali shell.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Honestly I don't see FroYo coming to the HTC Legend, and even if it was then I can you imagine how long we'd have to wait for Gingerbread.
If it's done on the black which for all purposes has been shown as nothing more than a painted Legend with Froyo installed stock. So that show's they've already done the work of making it work so all they need to do is release it...unless there is something substaintially different in the versions.
It is cooler. Nuff said. If it is released with Froyo our Legends will get it too.

Ah, but Mark Moons has confirmed on Twitter that they are working on FroYo for the Legend, stating that we must be patient - there's only one reason existing Legend owners need to be patient
Besides, assumption is the mother of all f-up's, which I am good at
Even if the Black Legend got FroYo and there was no OTA, by hook or by crook we'd get it eventually
i didnt really think there was much of a difference :/ guess i missed something lol

Gingerbread'll never happen. Not a chance. HTC have just released 2 new, more powerful, phones. Those will get Gingerbread. The Desire might, if the N1 does. The Legend? Nah.
They have also just releases 2 near identical phones to the Legend spec.
The HTC Aria and the HTC Gratia both seemingly MSM7227 based, the same as the Legend.

Port 32b froyo update?

Is there any way to port the new 2.2 update from the original mytouch??
Yeah but with the 2.2 update push for the slide starting in 5 days (25th) so the rumor and t-mobile are saying, it would be pointless to port it. By the time anyone did, froyo would be out.
Hopefully this time t-mo is for real xD

I hope so. I love cyanogen's roms and everyone else that cooks but without the rom actually built for this phone it's missing out on some functions and isn't at it's full potential. They're doing their best but given what they have to work with it will fall short until then. So come on t-mobile!!!!

Where have you heard the 25th for our phones? I did a quick check, but didn't see it anywhere.

Read that 25th was the ending date for Orig.MT3G froyo release..so..Give us proof.
Thanks.
I saw somewhere that the update for the slide is going to start on oct 31 so... let's wait an see, if there is no news of froyo by that time maybe we will have to make a port of the 32b update or wait for the htc gratia (the aria version for europe) to come out next month which is running froyo sense whit hgva res and same processor as our slide n_n

More of the waiting game.
I wouldn't get too excited just yet. The articles that I've read don't mention anything other than the app.

I had read it in a few different threads and some various sites - like I said though, it's a rumor and sadly like all froyo rumors (so far) for the slide this one turned out to be false too

Unrevoked news?

Considering how fast the Thunderbolt has been rooted, its led me to believe that no one is really working on a root for wildfire. I know it is a low end smartphone but surely someone can spare some time?
Or has anyone got some news from Unrevoked already?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
True!!!!!!
Well, in fact Unrevoked already rooted the WF... Unless you mean getting S-OFF, which is something alpharev should be working on too.
Let's cross our collective fingers!
Is indeed strange for the Wildfire users, if that new securty is hacked within 3weeks why is this not possible on the wildfire with old security checks.

I'm talking about a 2.2.1 root. Especially seeing as all new wildfires will have 2.2 pre-installed.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
the gf just got a wildfire 2.2.1, is there any one working on a root for this? would like to get cm7 on here.
There is no root for 2.2 at the moment. Unlikely to be for some time. At least til Unrevoked updates.

I want the evo3D Sense ! I love the unlocking screen of that
GREAT news! indeed ! hope there are no more delays!
This is really great news hope everyone to get the update at the same time not like 1.84 update....some dhd owners got it some of us didn't.
Not going out to gingebread in late March??
About time, was wondering when this would come out.
And let's hope there are no major flaws in the update Else would that be a bummer...
+1 for hoping it includes the new sense unlock screen!
So, what are you think, is it be better or worse than CM7?

Cyanogen users have had gingerbread since January, with cm 7. Wouldn't bet against us having over cream before gingerbread roll out is complete

But that's still a great news
may i ask ! My htc desire hd was hack root...
I already back up the original room...
If in april , offical 2.3 release ... How can't i update it ??
I'm from viet nam ?
I hope they release the Kernel src code of the new update soon. We then will have custom kernels that can do some O/C // Undervolt
Gingerbread
I'm happy to see this is going so "well" with HTC, if I think about my friend's Samsung who just got 2.2.1 about 2 weeks ago *g*

News for Liberty with stock Froyo (Gratia Included)

http://alpharev.nl/x/
tested working on Liberty with hboot 1.02
No clip or anything like it required. To be released soon - no date yet.
Thank you for some good news!
Excellent!
Mods - please move - I posted in the wrong section :/
This belongs in General.
No one knows how happy I am at the moment.
Could this work with any hboot to get s-off or is it 1.02 specific?
Signatures are fancy.

Worst case non-att uses a goldcard to update to the AT&T 2.2.2 RUU, then they are good to go. Of course, AT&T models won't need a goldcard.

WEEEE. Will be nice to get back into kernel hacking. I've been too lazy/cheap to S-OFF my aria, and WAAAAAAY too lazy to reflash boot to test kernels. Fastboot, here I come (eventually)
It's too good to be true!
Hope, the release will not be delayed too much.
This is some great news! I've gotten to the point, I check multiple times a day hoping for a solution. Any ideas on how soon it will be released?
Nope. Soon is all the alpharev guys will say. I know for fact they are hard at work preparing it for release.
Well this probably explains what happened to 2.0 They've been busy doing the impossible
Sent from my cm7 Aria.
good news!
Not that I need it, and but this is a new exploit found in 1.02? To get s-off? That webpage is about as much vague as it gets
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
thank god. I dropped my phone this morning, cracked the screen, and hated the idea of getting a replacement phone with the stock 2.2.
Either this or I'm switching to Sprint. AT&T is really getting on my nerves.
Great news
Good deal!
Sweet!
We drown in four loko
Does this work for original 2.1 bootloaders? Or do we have to accept the update to 2.2 to use this exploit?

Would you ask them to include MID of PB9220000 for Liberty, please? That's the MID of Liberty in Asia (WWE, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Australia). PB9211000 is for US only, I guess.
