Well guys I gave up waiting for Froyo from HTC and have spent the morning doing the rather tricky task of rooting my Legend and installing Cyanogen.. it was a bit of a nightmare and I wouldn't recommend beginners try it but its installed now and I like it a lot.. and hey its froyo... no more running out of space!
Why wouldn't you advice beginners to try it?
It wasn't that hard for me and I'm really glad I did it.
Didn't had any experience with the adb but I liked it a lot it wasn't super easy but I was glad I pulled it off.

What I meant was if you don't even know how to unzip stuff for example or you don't know what a command prompt is... I wouldn't bother trying to do it!
It was a pain in the behind for me during the first attempts as i needed to use the hack to be able to downgrade wich took me quite some time lookin into , once done that the only thing that actualy got in my way was the port remaining open , had no idea why it couldnt connect my device , but if you copy any error from just about anything into google , most likely within 30mins of that your problems are solved.
Either way it isnt really that hard just need some common sence and patience, read things completely and dont rush tru it and yer done in a jiffy.
Have fun for those trying
Also, the learning curve is invaluable. My first experience on these forums was downgrading and rooting. I'm no expert, but I know a lot more than I did in 3(ish) short months.
I think the main thing is follow the how-to's STEP by STEP and you and your phone will just be fine.
And reading posts from the beginning to the end helps 2
over and out !
Step by Step instructions for noobs?
Can someone then point me to step by step instructions from a vanilla 2.1 vodafone legend to use the azure mod?
The only reason why I ask is Ive read a bunch of postings and gotten totally confused.. I know I need to create a gold SD card, boot, patch then downgrade to 1.3 and then Im kinda stuck..
Oh for the record I am technical (java programmer now architect) but its a case of cant see the trees caus. of the forest!!!
thanks all
Angelo
ps if we could make this a sticky that would be fab
Did you read the sticky in the developers thread? It trells you exactly how to do it.

I did the same... It took me some time to get through everything (mostly due to my Internet connection here in Afghanistan), but I got it done, and I'm so glad I did. I wasn't unhappy with RUU 2.03, but I really needed to have PIN security instead of the silly pattern thing. I will definitely go back to RUU once it's available.

Is it really this e z now?
Tried autoroot and it gave me some unknown error. Lets see what happens.
it is easy. I'm new to rooting and I did it with no problem. Just follow directions.
Thanks for reading the guide its so easy to do I have done it 6 times and help anyone out not hard at all so easy.
When using unrevoked it may say something about connection with the phone was interrupted when it reboots your phone after running the program. Dont worry its normal and now your fully rooted.
Can't go wrong if you need anything PM and I will guide you through it.

Cool man. This is about the most easy way to do things to root. It's simple to unroot to all of those other programs people say to use can be a pain in the ass to use lol.
Glad it's working for you flashing and rooting is confusing for new people and alot of people can be a bit rude when you ask for help. I been learning everything I can from reading and trial and error.
This is as easy as it gets just follow the directons on there site. Make sure you don't have Htc sync installed otherwise you will have issues.

thanks for nothing.
How 'bout telling him what it does, instead of just putting him down and calling him a noob?
@lpachuong, there's nothing we can do with it -yet-, since we have no way to re-encrypt them. It's possible we could do something like build a system.img and flash it with dd, though for now it's only good for poking around in the images.

Too many users ask lots of questions that could be avoided by reading the posts / some other topics. I can totally understand him.
Of course it's no problem to answer 1 or 2 questions - but there are many questions and lots of them do repeat.
for command line one can use this xor 0.2 (aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm).
usage:
xor.ex input output 0x12

It looked to me like he had read it, and didn't understand it, possibly to a language barrior.
Also, saying that it's not useful to him (in a polite way) is a lot better than saying that he's a noob and has no business working with it, and would have taken just as long to type. There's a point where he's just being rude to be rude. :|

Sorry, it's not. This info is available right here in this forum. All you have to do is look.
There is a difference between a noob and a newb. Right now all I see is a newb asking for information that can be freely found if one spends some time looking for it.
If you notice, the OP has helped quite a few people with legitimate questions and/or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding. But I should apologize for causing the troubles. I didn't know what the purpose of decrypting the zip file was, when there is no further step after that.
I guess I will be just more patient and wait until we can get access to the recovery mode. I just can't stand it when Acer has no update in Australia. I messed with dd the system and flex img before as well. Hopefully during this time, OP or someone else will come up with something that can re-encrypt it. I saw the chinese update.zip used signapk to pack the package but I failed to do so.
I don't mind being called noob =) People usually call me nerd so it sounds good to be called noob sometimes =D
peace.
dude you want to know how you're supposed to provide information and provide support?
read one of my guides below.
anyways dont apologize dude, just dont mind some of these cranky guys.
If I decide to keep my Iconia, I'll consolidate all that information and make a guide somewhere.

follow link above and Downgrade, sucks that you updated, but don't worry you can downgrade to the awesome 2.2.1!
It's quite difficult to brick the phone if you follow the steps exactly. the only time you may brick the phone is when it is during the process of flashing the stock 2.2.1 rom, and you pull the battery or something. So make sure you're battery is charged! and secure.

ah, when you try that command, it has to be tried through adb, and the phone has to be in a custom recovery, like clockworkmod or 4EXT. since you don't have a custom recovery currently installed, it won't work. so try the other command, through terminal emulator.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
