I was using the new HTC Gratia Rom that was posted in the development forum, was restoring some apps with Titanium Backup manager when my phone rebooted, then it got stuck in a boot loop. I wiped it and rebooted again but no joy, stayed stuck in the loop.
Anyway, I recently installed a new recovery image, one of the ones for jailbreaking the PS3, so I have no USB access. Also it has a few extra options for wiping than the Amon RA recovery, and I guess I shouldn't have used the format boot option! Now on bootup all I get is "FASTBOOT USB", though I can still get into the psfMod recovery image.
That isn't much use to me though, as I stupidly deleted my nandroid backup and the update.zip file from my SD Card earlier while tidying it up a little bit. I don't have any other way of accessing the SD card and attempts to push another recovery image (with USB access) have failed.
I've also tried to install RUU's, both a T-Mobile UK one and a WWE one. That results in the following error: "ERROR [140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR".
I guess because the current image version is: 3.31.110.1 and the RUU is only: 2.73.110.26. I don't think there's an RUU of this version available, from reading it sounds like it was an OTA, it's not something I installed myself, T-Mobile sent me this phone recently after my screen stopped working properly.
If you've managed to read this far without falling asleep, any suggestions would be welcome hopefully not just that I should buy a card reader cos I could do with getting my phone going again asap.
You got access to another phone which uses a micro SD? Could use that to put the zip onto the card.
Making a goldcard springs to mind as well

Thanks for the tip, I had considered this already but I thought my brothers Legend (he doesn't live close) was my best bet. Turns out I had access to an N95 that did the trick
same problem
im a complete n00b
screen got replaced last month. new software was installed im guessing.
tried to use the tmobile ruu's to repair. there isnt one i can use though.
tried putting an engineering spl onto my sd card and using fastboot not really sure what happened there but it did not work.
does anyone have the appropriate update in zip format. not sure how i will get it to work but im trying all the things i read.
i do have backups but im not really sure what to do with them.
other than htc has anyone ever created an ruu?

What is the problem with urs exactly?
the problem is that im stuck in a cyanogen boot loop.
i have access to the generic fastboot only. therefore i have no ability to repair my phone from within the phone itself.
my phone is currently on hboot 1.76.0007.
i thought i had flashed clockworkmod. but for some reason or another beyond me it has disappeared.
the version of android i have running is 2.1, the tmobile version. the update number is 3.31.110.1. i understand that is the perfected spl version.
i have tried to fix using the ruu files. but i understand that the version on my phone as an ota update. therefore no ruu is applicable at this time.
i have tried many methods mentioned in various forums with no success.
thanks for responding to my post so quickly.

Problem solved now
and the solution was so obvious............
...and what was that obvious solution? Because I'm facing a similar problem...
Thx in advance!
I have a basic question,
I'm only asking because there's far too much
information available,
on here
and its not easy to find what best fits my
needs.
I have an unlocked A3335 wildfire ( Telstra NextG network 3g version), I'm using it on optus,
my boyfriend was useing it he dowloaded a
font change app for the phone,
but when he did it my phone went in to
bootloop mode.and keep't bootlooping again
and again
all i get is the start up screen,
with yes you guessed it
(Telstra NextG network 3g crap)
All I want to do is try and get my phone from
this bootloop mode and try and recover...
my phone back to how it was.
Its hard to explain,
ok when i go in to the boot screen
i have this on my phone
BUZZ PVT SHIP S- Off
HBOOT-1.01.0002
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-3.35.20.10
DEC 27 2010,
17:49:10
and it reads the sd card,
it said the Boot Image. is missing
dont know why a app would take this out
but this is what happen
So Now when i did the fastboot on my phone
it done nothing,
then did the clear storge.
then i did the recovery
it rebooted to a black screen with A
triangle shape with one of these things
! in the middle of it,
but still stuck
I can follow the regular guides for rooting,
can any one help me to get my phone back to
how it was please
And I really don't care about this part much,
but would be nice to have it off the phone
and remove all the telstra junk and restore
the phone back to how HTC would ship it,
(all the junk apps they include could easily be optionally installed from marketplace if you want their crap...)
(obviously I'm in Australia also)
There are so many ROMS and options available,
including the ones from shipped roms
(it wont let me post the link because I'm new).
I just want my phone back to how i got it,
can any one help me please....
please send me a private messages,
with a step by step guide to do so thanks..
Since you are s-off u can use fastboot flash from windows to flash a clockwork mod recovery. After you do that, every thing will be simple. Just download a rom in zip format,put it to sd go to recovery( just do what you have done to see the triangle in blackscreen. Note that if u flash cwm you will no longer see that triangle). Then use your volume down button to reach install zip from SD card. Hit it with joystick press. Choose zip. Install it. Just do a data- factory resetting before you install zip.
I prefer cyanogen mod 7. U may use latest stable or nightly build. Feel free to post any doubt you have. We are happy to help you.

nope that gold card image will send to ur email..and u need to copy that gold card image to ur sd card...
Well if the hboot is 1.01.0002 with S-OFF then it must be done using xtc clip. So fastboot flashing shouldn't be working. And u don't need a gold card for S-OFF wildfire .
I would just suggest to flash a stock froyo WWE RUU which also removes the carrier bloatware. If ruu proccess gives errors u can copy the romzip from that ruu and use it with pc49img process from hboot menu. And ofcourse fat32 memory card is must for pc49img process

Hey can you explain what happened now? You said that yours is working now before 2 days. ( in second last post). So what happened now? What have you tried with your phone?
And...
So the gold card question, let me explain.
Gold card is just a patch tool, with the help of which you can unlock HTC boot loader , or in detail, you can unlock HTC 's boot loader protection(that's what we call as s-off) , which is commenly locked( that's we call as s-on) , for a user mode phone( a phone that is for sale to normal user), and it is done so because a normal user never need a root permission, over clocking etc. Also user defined kernal,rom,radio updates unless HTC provide them with updates.( and of cource to protect their device and its custom os made by HTC.
So being an s-off device, we can say in simple, unleash the potential of android.( that's what i said, make the device yours and not HTC 's).
And s-off. In can be done using many ways, find them in topic " complete wildfire index " , one of which is using goldcard method. It is also explained in topic/ stickies " downgrade hboot to xxxx". You can download an attached file called buzz downgrade from that topic, and its what you all need.
And about ruu flashing, i think its not a safe one for you, Coz your phone is a3335? Right? If so, original ruu flashing may cause problems with network( called as radio problems), so you can use custom/ safe ruu, instead. Which contains no radio image, check " complete wildfire index" else go for custom os like cm7.
But before all you should mention what you need.
1) r u trying to put custom os, or do you need original os?
2) do you want your phone to be a true android gadget, or just normal phone which is provided by HTC?
3) what kind of user r u? Normal user or a tech junky?
4) r u satisfied with android 2.2 or need 2.3?
Get us the answers, along with your current boot menu( where you find recovery option) details. So that we can help you properly.
That's all dude. Its 2.30 am here in India, so i should wish myself a good night, swtdrmz. Cu ltr.

Oops. Completely missed that point, sorry.
But since the phone is S-OFF one can just flash the system.img and boot.img alone from wwe ruu to remove the carrier bloat and to continue on the HTC stock rom (only if u wish to). Same pc49img process here but with only system.img and boot.img along with android-info.txt .

Have you installed clockwork mod recovery? If not do it first. Use fastboot flash from windows or linux, then download latest cyanogen mod nightly and put it in your sd. Then use install zip option from cwm recovery to install cm7. Done. Its what you want. No radio harm will be done unless you flash a radio using any methods.
All info will be available on thread" complete wild fire index" in this forum. Tools, recovery, how to, rom, and every thing else are available in that thread.

No expert but looks like you have an empty sdcard and system.I think you need to get a rom onto your sdcard (cm7 good choice) and then through recovery apply the rom. Zip and reboot after. DONT DO A WIPE.the telestra screen is just a splash screen which will always load before the system searches for data to load,next would be boot loading screen but yours by the looks and sounds of things does not achieve!! Probably cos its not present due to not having a rom installed.hope I helped if not best of luck. Members are very helpful here and cos you can access hboot I am 99% sure this will be fixed for you.

i have a rom on my sd card but the thing keeps saying FAILED? NO SUCH FILE FOUND ?
Download this: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
Enter HBOOT.
Wait until it finishes trying to load a zip file.
Choose FASTBOOT to enter FASTBOOT USB mode.
Run the downloaded file.
It should then install the original HTC rom.
Or maybe try PC49IMG method if you haven't already?
On your PC click start and type in the search box %temp%,
Keep your eye on this folder and doubleclick your ruu, a new folder should appear in temp folder,
Open it and search for rom.zip,
Copy it to your desktop and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then copy to your SD card and boot into hboot, it should find the zip and install.

i have done that already still no go
After seeing this issue quite a few times this past week I thought I make a tutorial on how to possibly fix this. If any of you see any errors or any way to improve this guide please let me know and ill include it and or adjust accordingly
Note-Make sure you have plenty of battery. You don’t want your phone dying in the middle of flashing a PD98IMG
If you are stuck in Hboot and have S-On go straight to flashing Stock Rom section or Alternate method at the end
Do not rename or unzip-Leave as is
Recovery: http://min.us/mbaD8QTK4A
WWE Stock Rom (Sense 3.0): http://min.us/mIc6tkSGg
NOTE- The Stock Rom is for a Desire DHD. If you have an Inspire 4g or Telus DHD do not use the file. Use one of these instead
Inspire 4g pre-rooted Stock Rom: http://db.tt/DCU3oW39 (only use if you have S-off)
Inspire 4g stock Rom: http://min.us/mblzL6b6vL
Telus DHD Stock Rom: http://min.us/mTqXM8fTY
Reinstalling Recovery
If you have Eng S-Off and feel comfortable with adb you can flash a recovery that way. Go to Reinstalling Recovery using adb
For whatever reason you have wiped your custom recovery (My guess is you did a factory reset, thus erasing it). Personally i would try this first as one can go straight to a custom rom. If you don't want a custom rom feel free to go to the flashing stock rom section.
1)Back up anything you don’t want deleted from your sd card
2)Plug in sd card into computer through an adapter of some kind or another phone
3)Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Do a full reformat not a quick
4)Once reformat is complete place the file downloaded from the first link on the sd card
5)Eject the sd card from computer and insert into phone
6)Power off phone by pulling the battery
7)Reinsert the battery
8)Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button
9)It will scan for the file press volume up to accept update
10)It will ask you to reboot- but it will still be stuck which is normal
11)If everything is going to plan you now have access to recovery. So now we need to flash a rom. Skip down to the flashing rom section if you don’t know how to. If flashing the recovery didn't work continue to the next section
Reinstalling Recovery With No Card Reader
Note: Eng S-OFF is not needed for this method
1) Download recovery above and place it in your fastboot directory
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Open up command prompt and CD to your Fastboot directory
6) Run the command fastboot erase cache
7) After the OK run fastboot oem rebootRUU
8) You'll see a new screen with HTC logo and a progress bar. here you need to run fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip
9) Once it completes (should say ok,finished, or complete) run fastboot reboot bootloader
10) Go into Recovery and flash a rom
Reinstalling Recovery Using ADB and Fastboot
Note: you need to have Eng s-off with this method.
You can use the recovery img that is found above or one of your choosing(newer cwr or 4ext recovery)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Flashing a Stock Rom
Note-If you are S-off I suggest flashing a pre-rooted stock rom, as there is no need to re-root.
1)If coming from previous section plug in sd card and delete old file then Jump to step 5
2)Back up anything you don’t want deleted from your sd card
3)Plug in sd card into computer through an adapter of some kind or another phone
4)Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Do a full reformat not a quick
5)Once reformat is complete place the file downloaded from the second link(stock rom) on the sd card
6)Eject the sd card from computer and insert into phone
7)Power off phone by pulling the battery
8)Reinsert the battery
9)Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button
10)It will scan for the file press volume up to accept update
11)If everything is going to plan you now should have a fully working phone
12)At this point you are un-rooted so if you want re-root I recommend using the ace hack kit. (unless you used a pre-rooted rom then no need to use hack kit)
NOTE- IF EITHER FLASHING THE STOCK ROM OR RECOVERY PD98 FILES HAS NOT WORKED REPEAT PROCEDURE WITH A DIFFERENT SD CARD
Flashing rom
1)So we were able to re-flash a custom recovery. Connect sd card to computer and delete the PD98img file
2)Download the rom of your choice and any super wipe zips if your rom needs it
3)Place file on sd card eject and reinsert onto phone
4)Boot in bootloader.( An alternate is using adb to boot into recovery)
5)This time it will scan and not find any files. After it scans scroll down and select recovery.
6)You should now be in CWR. Do a full wipe (wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache-found in advanced I think
a.If recommended by your rom uses a super wipe zip. Simply choose install from sd card in CWR and select the super wipe zip
7)Now flash the rom by selecting install from sd card and choosing rom
Alternate- Flashing of a RUU
This is for those that don’t have access to an adapter to place files with. This should work whether your S-on or S-Off
RUU’s: http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
1)Download your RUU from above
2)Boot into Hboot
3)Connect your phone to your PC
4)Select fastboot
5)Run the RUU program

One doesn't have to unroot if they don't want to flash the recovery through hboot. One can place a rooted version of the stock rom on the SD card as a pd98img zip and boot into hboot. Once flashed, just go to the market and install rom manager and flash recovery from there. At this point, one is rooted stock and free to flash a custom rom at any time. This saves from the need to reroot the device. Of course this is provided one already has s-off when the problem hit.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated,

tmobile help please
Please can anybody download t mobile ota update ? i need to flash the update zip file to my t mobile dhd because i have installed tmobile ruu and my phone wont boot it is stuck in t mobile boot loop i have no root and my hboot says
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL.
I have an unbranded dhd but i dont know if i can install tmobile ruu on to it to download the tmobile ota update myself.. i have done this with my htc bravo's
one was virgin and the other was unbranded i was able to s-off the unbranded bravo using revolutionay.io and install virgin ruu on it and downloaded the ota zip file but didnt install it and copied it to my virgin bravo and installed the update can i do this with dhd ace ?
if you have supercid on the unbranded you can do that, though i dont think the ota will get you out of the bootloop. When you installed the tmo RUU it does take about 15 min to do its thing. did you give it enough time?
You could reflashing the Tmo ruu, but since your soff i would personally use the WWE version
Sorry Guys looking for some extra help, I was flashing a radio on GB and something went wrong... I am running a custom rom and am rooted with ENG s-off.
when I start i get a black scree for about 10-15 minutes, then I get a white screen with HTC on it and it vibrates for a good 5 minutes, then it goes to a white HTC screen with quietly good (or something similar) and eventually the phone will start.
I had ext4 CWM installed on it originally but I do not get any recovery options either in HTC or CWM.
I've tried using the instructions here with adb a recovery image to no avail.
The phone is currently 2.3.5 with HTC sense it was Android Revolution HD 6.3.2 by mike 1986.

I've tried using the instructions here with adb a recovery image to no avail.
The phone is currently 2.3.5 with HTC sense it was Android Revolution HD 6.3.2 by mike 1986.

Q&A DHD Page 175 post 1749 lebsir
Hello! I have a Desire HD that is stuck at the Hboot, no recovery or anything.
I managed to flash some ROMs, either through Hboot or RUU but even then, the phone stays stuck at Hboot.
I tried many official ROMs and RUUs. The ones that can be flashed succesfully are the main zip from this thread (WWE Stock Rom) and the two Sense 3.0 WWE RUUs.
The update process seems to proceed fine, but at the end, when I reboot the device, it gives me 7 vibrations at the white HTC screen, then the screen goes black and stays stuck for ever (or at least for 2 hours).
I do not know much about the device, only that it had a custom rom and one day this happened.
If you have any suggestions or ideas, I'd be glad to hear. Even some generic (short) answers will do if you have any idea at all.
HTC service says that because of the custom software, the phone isn't anymore under warranty and they need to replace the motherboard.
Hi Guys, long time no see...
Here is my second tutorial for stupid thing like resetting HTC Buzz to its original state... After googling, and looking for solution how to get rid of modded roms and recoveries, i have done this on my own (like everytime i do)...
OK Before we start, i will say that you loose root, and any modifications you made to your phone... You will have clean FROYO as you had when bought your phone. Ideal for warranty reasons...
Lets do this recovery stuff...
1. Make sure you have empty 2 gb SD card
2. Format it to FAT 32 filesystem
3. Download stock rom from HERE and transfer it to root of your SD Card
4. Put SD card with file to your phone
5. Hold VOLUME DOWN and turn your phone on holding mentioned button.
6. You will enter HBOOT mode. After second or two, HBOOT will check image files on SD card...
7. After loading file from SD card, phone will ask you to update 8 files. Confirm it with VOLUME UP button
8. Don't remove battery from phone untill everything is finished.
9. After successful update, repeat step 5 with removed SD Card, and do Delete user settings (restore).
10. After 10 minutes your phone will boot Latest stock FROYO image
This tutorial is made for people who want to restore stock image because of warranty reasons, or just tired of cooked roms...
Point 3 is missing the link to the PC49IMG Stock ROM ZIP. FYI
Also, this does not remove S-OFF, so you might want to link this thread to your post as well. (For warranty reasons)

But S-ON is required to get the Warranty...Because when srvice centre guys will work they can easily trace that mobile was experimented previously because HBOOT screen will tell the whole story...So its mandatory to remove S-OFF..
S-Off: Revolutionary - This will show on top in the HBOOT screen.

Hi guys,
I've tried many ways to fix and hope that some light could be shed from you
- Trying to get back to stock build after downgrading to 1.31 via this process wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Legend:_Full_Update_Guide
- The ‘rooting tools’ in step 2 of 2nd section were not available anywhere so tried other avenues to root
- None successful
- After lots of playing around – I decided to try and get back to latest stock build
- Ran the uncracking.bat file which was installed during the Cyanogenmod process (which I hoped would restore things)
- Not successful
- I’m thinking that maybe the adb shell command from the Cyanogenmod process may have caused some issue: /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
- Trying the HTC OTA system update (from Android 2.1 to 2.2) fails while trying to update and goes into the recovery screen (red triangle with exclamation mark, black background) <<<<<<<<<
- Then, when pushing vol up and power the following error is shown:-
----> E:Error in /sdcard/download/OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_P_release_1603576x6ndkkwfpxcjvla.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Doing a general factory reset does not seem to help.
I do not need to keep any apps or data, a complete wipe so I can start afresh would be great if possible!
Thanks

I tried to return to stock rom by running the wwe rom from shipped-roms only got the error 155. Then extracted the rom.zip from the exe and flash that no go, couldn't work out a way to do it successfully.
Sent from my Legend using xda app-developers app
Cool.. It doesn't have to be stock. All I need is 2.2 or 2.3 (I was trying for cyanogenmod 7.2). At the moment it's stuck on a buggy 2.1!
I'm not sure of the current state, as I said I think going half way through the cyanogenmod kinda of changed something important ( eg. /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img via ADB).
Do you know of any way I could make either of these OSs work, with the minimum of hassle?

1st thing 1st, unlock your bootloader.
2ndly, once unlocked, flash cwm.
3rd, download any ROM you want (lets pick cm 7.2 for starting point since you said no need for stock ROM) then put into your sd card.
Lastly, boot into cwm. Wipe all (data, cache, dalvik cache) then Flash(install) ROM.
Thats it (assuming your device is not usb bricked or hard bricked and you do all the steps correctly).
How?
To unlock, go to htc web site or google "unlock bootloader+htc dev"
Flash cwm? Go to dev section, theres a thread of cwm, follow "s-off" method (of course after unlocking your BL.
Boot into cwm? Shut down/turn off your phone. Once it off, press power button and volume down at the same time, hold it fow few moment before release it.
Once in cwm, install from sd card (you will know once you in it)
Then? Enjoy ur legend and flash any ROM once you got bored with cm7!

No, you dont need htc sync. i've never installed htc sync either. you only need the driver (which is logically will be installed along with htc sync but also can be installed separately and it is needed so that your device will be recognized when you boot it into fastboot mode) and no, you no need to upgrade ROM, you only need to upgrade your bootloader (that HBOOT 1.00) and it is not updated through OTA.
Seriously, it took me only 2 hours (including downloading and installing SDK, driver, waiting for unlock file from htc etc) last time i did it and i have done it twice which 2nd time (because i had usb soft brick) is much more shorter as i saved the unlock file and it seems can be reused. What takes longer for me at that time is to understand the whole process, reading and researching through multiple sites but now you have a guide, so all you have to do is to read the instructions carefully. Once you unlock your bootloader and flash cwm, everything will be super easy (assuming your device doesn't have any defects from the beginning.)
Ok, thanks very much feed3. Will try this again based your info and the mini guide I've just written myself.
But before I go ahead, I'd rather not touch it than to make it unusable.

in short, hard bricked means your phone is totally unuseable, usually because of hardware defects but also might be cause by flashing wrong ROM, for example flashing ROM that actually not built for your device. Usually, you cannot do anything with it, cannot enter fastboot, recovery etc. Soft brick is repairable, you still can boot to recovery or even to the OS. Might be caused by some partition corruption (in the case of usb bricked, it is /misc partition).
If you use htc dev path to unlock your bootloader, no need for gold card. Thats for sure.
If your phone is usb soft bricked (among the symptoms are you will be able to boot into the OS ONLY if your phone are pluged in into usb, and/or adb not working at all) then google or search in xda for "htc legend+usb brick" and fix it. I'm pretty sure only then you can update your HBOOT and therefore unlock your bootloader via htc dev.
Once done, go to HERE and flash cwm using s-off method (dont care about your s-on that you see in your bootloader, the "UNLOCKED" word in it is more important)
In response:-
Thanks for the clarification.
- when using the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498298&page=7 - and trying to get the bootloader to run the LEGEIMG.zip file, it flashes up stating "no image or wrong image!", it runs too fast to read it exactly.
- then looking at the same error this guy was getting at (see the 'EDIT: It seems the LEGEIMG' post onwards) http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1657826 - they have the same Vodfone Legend as me, a gold card had to be used to do the above update process (which should update HBOOT).
- this is the only HBOOT update process I've seen, but isn't clear as they look like they're on 2.2 and HBOOT 1.01.

EXACTLY the same error message that you got, HERE and the op solve it.
Btw, during unlocking my bootloader, i've never encounter (or did i forget already??) to requiring this zip file. Isn't bootloader RUU from HTCdev is all we need? I think thats the only file i have to get (apart from the unlock bin file of course) if my memory doesn't cheat me..
Sure - but as the guy mentions formatting to FAT32, that's usually associated with goldcard creation right.
I've ran the bootloader RUU from HTC Dev a few times, and it always says that the ROM (HBOOT, build(?)) needs updating. Thus trying the aforementioned process (post 62 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498298&page=7) to try and get the Rom (HBOOT) updated, which didn't work, which then loops back round to dealing with the zip file read error.

I'm getting more confuse here. I've never use goldcard as i reluctant to "sacrifice" my one and only card but here i am with unlocked bootloader. The RUU file is the one that will update your bootloader. Read instructions at htc dev carefully.. good luck..

You need to read this post by blay0, it instructs how to update hboot without going back to stock, using gold card or any other outdated method of rooting (unless your on hboot less than 1.00 then you should follow the s-off method of rooting)

I think the reason I can't do the blay0 method is because of the stock sd card I'm using. It's not picking up the rom zip file.
I've ordered another http://www.kikatek.com/P188409/SDC10-8GB-Kingston-MicroSDHC-8GB-Card-Class-10?source=froogle

Good news! I unlocked the bootloader with my 'new' SD card using the blay0 process (from the last post).
This is the first time I've done this though, and am just trying to figure out how to flash CyanogenMod 7.2.
ROM Manager doesn't work with 2.1 (installed) any more.
Can someone please briefly explain how I would flash.

Hello,
take the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.zip , put it on your SD-card and rename it to update.zip. Then use th S-ON-method from here and you will have no problem.
so there is no way to return the legend back to stock rom after all ?
