Hello, I just decided to finally root my Legend and install a rom.
My phone is currently running 2.1 and i'm on the Virgin Mobile Canada network here in Canada. We don't have an official 2.2 release yet.
I have made a gold card and i'm all ready to root and load a rom. I just don't know what one to do.
I think i'd like to start off fairly basic. just to play with 2.2 then try some of the more advanced custom roms. So, All i really need is help finding the 2.2 stock rom that would be best suited for me?
Sorry if this is sort of a newb thing. but i'm a newb. I tried looking this up, but couldn't get a solid answer via google results. Too many options out there and i didn't know if they applied to my situation.
So, yeah. Just want the basic 2.2 Then maybe i'll try some custom roms later.
Also, if anybody has any advice of what to expect or any other advice, i'd appreciate it. Any features I will loose if i root/rom? I hear FM radio won't work, but i'm not too worried about that. Anything else?
Thank you.
You say "basic ROM", but it's a bit more complicated.
You can simply update your phone to HTC stock ROM 2.2 or the Vodafone ROM 2.2, this would be basic but crappy (slow, branded, buggy roms).
I recommend you to skip these roms and try BlaY0's rom (with sense) or CyanongenMod 6.1 stable. These two are really good work !
So you can play with serious froyo and the time you'll take to root and change the rom would be useful !
Cyanogen will be a bit more "exotic" since HTC sense is not included in the ROM.
For the features, you will not loose any of them, except maybe the FM radio (depends of the rom), but you will get many you have not right now (root of course, overclock,..., plus every changes of 2.2)
Your Legend is about to become a greeaaaaat phone, congratz !
I hope my answer will help you ;-)
PS : Few months and we'll get stable gingerbread roms ! Time to get to Froyo ! ^^
Thanks for the reply. It was very informative and just the type of information i need.
I hate these situations where i know i'm missing a lot of knowlege, but due to not knowing it, i don't know how to aquire it. I hate that.
That's why i'm glad i have this place. Thanks. I think i'll install that CyanongenMod 6.1 stable. I've been using launchers most of the time since i got my phone as i didn't really enjoy sense that much.
Could somebody please link me to the exact file i'd want? I keep finding different versions/builds and they say for different phones, and i just get confused A download link would be great.
Search for rom manager in the market, install and choose Flash Clockwordmod Recovery
After that:
In Paid version just select Download Rom / CyogenMod.
Select Backup current rom & wipe data and cache when installing
In free version 1st d/l CM6.1 from http: // forum.cyanogenmod.com /files/category/29-htc-legend/ and put it on your sdcard, then Select Install Rom from SDcard in Rom manager.
For both also install the google apps (same source locations & method)

So, Upon trying to root my phone i find out i first need to downgrade my phone.
I go through all the steps needed and eventually get to the part where i need to install the new "RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed" file.
I set up my phone. Goldcard, the correct version of HTC sync, USB Debugging, i'm fairly certain i did everything correct. I try to run the RUU and i get errors. Either USB not Connected errors, or and more frequently "Device ID Incorrect" errors.
So, I seem to be unable to downgrade to 1.31. Any advice on how to get by these errors? It's really frustrating.
Thanks.
Try recreating the goldcard and reinstall the latest HTC sync.
I tried re-making the gold card. I have the same problems. Although, I did realize i made a mistake when i made the gold card. But remedying that didn't seem to fix the problem.
When the Serial was reversed it already had the first two digits as zero's so i didn't really have to do that.
As for HTC Sync, I installed the correct version. I could try doing it again.
I'm on Win7 64 bit. I also tried it on a WinXP machine. Same error(s).
I'll try making the gold card again. I'm using a Kingston 2GB microSD card.
I had issues with Win7 x64 too. Your best bet is to find a 32-bit machine for this one-time step, or use VMWare Player to make a temporary virtual machine.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
I've also tried it on a 32bit winxp machine.
Here is basically how it goes.
Enable Debugging mode.
Hook up via "Charge only"
Run RUU as Administrator
It runs and says "waiting for bootloader" but errors out with the Error 171 USB Connection error.
The phone stays on the black screen that says HTC. Have to take out the battery to reset it.
OR. run the RUU again.
If i do that.
it "clears user data"
then does "sending..."
then "Updating Signature". It gets about 20% done, then errors out.
Error 130 Model ID Error.
Then when i select exit. The phone reboots back to the homescreen.
Which, if i try again, starts the cycle again.
so, it goes. First try, USB error, black htc screen. second try. Model ID error, Re-boot. Repeat.
My sync is the correct version. i've re-installed my HTC drivers. I've tried on a winxp box. and my win7 box. I've re-created my gold card. I even temporarily disabled my firewall and anti-virus in case that was the conflict.
I've done everything. This is really pissing me off at this point.

Thanks. I posted on that guide with an update to my situation. Sort of stuck at the moment as the custom boot loader after step 2 failed to load and aborted the installation. so now i'm sort of screwed until i figure that out.

I was trying to upgrade my SX66 from the factory Windows2003 to WM6 with this HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_ installer. I started the install and it crapped out giving me an error saying that it could not communicate with my device and that I needed to plug my device back in and retry it. My SX66 is now stuck on the bootloader as I'm sure the ROM isn't complete, and the installer does nothing now. Can someone please help this noob out? I'd really like to have my phone back lol.

Did you unlock the device first?
In any case, just try to reflash your device back to WM2003 with a stock rom. It does seem to be a bad flash. Also, which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Follow this in order to perform the upgrade properly...
Good luck!

I'm running windows version 7. and no i didn't unlock the device. i just ran the installer application (i hadn't found a detailed install manual) i'm not entirely sure how i can re-flash now, because i can't get a usb connection made because it's stuck in the bootloader.

I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page
In my opinion (and this is just a theory), Windows 7 (since it is a beta) does not have the necessary drivers to recognize the "usb device". Hence, when you put it in the cradle, it just doesn't see it. Again, this is just a theory...
You may want to get a hold of a machine with XP (that is if you didn't make the one you are using a dual boot). You should be OK if you try to flash via XP.
If everything else fails, you can always use mtty and flash via SD card (the procedure can be found in the wiki).
I had the device synced up before the install. it's just having issues syncing while it's in the bootloader mode. The device actually appears in the usb devices, but doesn't sync. i was thinking that the device might have to be authenticated with local software(on the sx66) in order to sync. I'm using the windows vista drivers. I do have this machine dual boot, but it's not any other version of windows i'm using
Your device does not have to sync in order to up/downgrade. Think about it this way... the RUU will put the device in bootloader anyways.
Just run the installer of the stock rom (the upgrade from Cingular).
@N1cholas: Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting MS Active Sync to show as it usually does when you are syncing your phone? If that is the case, it won't happen when on boot loader. Are you getting any error when trying to flash or you haven't tried to flash yet?
Advise:
1. Keep your hopes, don't get despert. Egzthunter is a master
2. Make sure you follow the guide... Step by Step to upgrade.
3. If it'll take you too long to complete the reading and flashing, reset your phone and put it to charge. You won't be able to flash with a dead backup battery. Main and Backup battery won't charge while on bootloader.
Edit: @Egzthunder: Sorry mate, while I was thinking, drinking coffee and writing you had already replied Like I said, your the help master. Once again, I encourage the MODS to propose you to be part of their teem. You're always there to help.

i'm going to head off to school, but it's not working. when i try to run any mods i get an error saying that it cannot communicate with device.

Why do you think I don't trust it?
@N1cholas,
I apologize since I ended up going to bed yesterday night.
I think your best bet will be to find yourself a PC running XP and try the reflash in that since it seems to me that something is going on with the OS.
@red and mark
Thanks for the support, guys!!! But you guys are awesome as well!
yeah, it's weird, it's just not working anymore. It appears in the device list and everything, but in WMDC it doesn't show up, and the rom install wizzards can't communicate with it either. I have been unable to find the upgrade ROM from cingular as it seems that the siemens' page has been removed. Also, I have a 2gb SD drive, but haven't been able to find information about flashing the SX66 from the SD.

You will not see the device in any type of sync software (call it ActiveSync, WMDC, etc). I hvae uploaded the SX66 stock installer from Cingular, so give that a shot
Here you go
SX66Update.exe
Like I said... XP computer. Also, for the SD flashing, you need to look for something called mtty and instructions on how to use it.
the proper solution
1.MTTY method for unblocking bootloader mode
2.Upgrade the same way as in Vista to stock rom
3.Sim Unock, Repartition DOC
4.Upgrade vista way to any rom you like
there are guides in WIKI about this
egzthunder1 which version extrom version and radio are in this rom - the one you sharing? As you know i make public BA shipped rom collection, and any rom which is not there is welcomed

Hey xplode,
To be perfectly honest, I haven't flashed 2003 since 2006, so I would be lying if I told you. Feel free to add it to your database if you wish. FYI, this is the upgrade that Cingular Wireless used to offer when the SX66 was still available in the at&t website.
MTTY doesn't have a USB option, it's only giving me COM1, COM2, COM3...

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.
The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.
same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine
error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.

Error [260]
Hello
I want to try to update my HD2 from 2.2 to 2.3.x but I always geht thr Connection error.
I´ve flashed my HD2 from Windows Mobile 6 to Android.
I thank you for your help.
Hi, how are you, guys ?
I'm new to this awesome forum (helped me many times), and I decided to post a new thread because I believe that my situation is pretty serious.
I'm from France, by the way, so I apologize in advance for potential grammatical errors or what. Let's cut it to the chase.
Like most of you, I love new technologies with mobiles, that's why I bought what I consider to be the greatest smartphone on the planet right now, the HTC Leo/HD2.
When I searched all over the internet for tests, reviews about several phones I planned on buying, the HD2 seemed to be the most versatile of them. I was most notably amazed by the fact that the Leo could be a home to Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Android, among others. So my choice was made.
I wanted immediately to upgrade the OS, and to go into WP7. Several reasons to that, the first being Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. As it's name indicates, this OS seemed to be made for professional purposes. Plus, and you may guess it, I was really excited to try Windows Phone 7.
I tried to search the easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to upgrade to WP7, and I found this site:
I'm not authorized to post the link to the site, so I'll just tell you that the article is "Download Windows Phone 7 [WP7] ROM For HTC HD2 [Install Guide]", in Aliwaqas[dot]com
Looks serious, right ?
I downloaded the files and followed the instructions.
Aparté: Before that, a week before, I downloaded the latest ROM from the HTC website, because I had a problem with text messages, a problem some of you (or even all of you) must've had: It took way too many time for the virtual keyboard to appear and process with the text message. So I download the ROM, it was the one from 2010-10-11, 3.14.406.2.
Back to the WP7 upgrade, now.
- It was asked to grab MAGLDR, extract and copy the files to my desktop: Done.
- Download HardSPL 2.08 and install it: Done.
After that, my phone completely froze at the white HTC Screen. Every time. I tried Soft & Hard Reset many times, still freezing. I continued, hoping that WP7 would stop the freezing.
- Download the 2.15.50.14 radio and install it. Done.
- Connect my phone to the computer and execute MAGLDR (v1.12): Done.
- Go to the fifth option, "USB Flasher": Done
And there stops my progression. As a matter of fact, it is aked to execute DWI.exe, which I did. However, every time, it finishes with this:
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1198)
Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176)
Can anyone help me on this, please ? Because I can't even restart it all with the Hard Reset, because it doesn't work, obviously.
Thank you to all, peace !

The first thing you need to do is downgrade the WinMo6.5 ROM to either 1.66 (HTC) or 1.72 (branded: T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc). Go to HTC's website and download the ROM from there - you need to use your phone's serial number.
Put the phone into BootLoader Mode (with the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button). You will se a 3-colour screen with 'Serial' at the bottom. On the screen you should see SPL 3.03.0000 (this tells that you have the 3.14 ROM installed). Now connect to the PC and the 'Serial' will change to 'USB'.
Run the ROM (just tick the box about ActiveSync as bootloader bypasses the need for it). If you are running with Vista or Windows7 then you need to do this as an administrator. Once this is down you will have either a 1.66 or 1.72 ROM (either will have changed the SPL to 1.66.0000).
You can now run HSPL2 and select 2.08.HSPL.
You can now run the 2.08.50 RADIO.
Now you are prepaired to enter the world of WP7 or Android NAND flashing.
Hi,
Thank you for helping me.
In fact, fred_up, I'm already in SPL-2.08.HSPL. I went in the thread alarien suggested even before posting this one. When I told you that I tried everything I could, it was real. Went into several forums, several languages, but no solutions. I hope this'll be the one. Anyway.
When it is into BootLoader Mode, here is what's in there ("_" means "blank):
PB81100___HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL__8G___XE
_______________0x05
CotullaHSPL______0x30
Even though I'm already at SPL 2.08.HSPL, do I still have to go through the process "3.03 -> 1.66 -> 2.08.HSPL -> 2.08.50" ?

SPL-2.08.HSPL__8G___XE
_______________0x05
CotullaHSPL______0x30
Even though I'm already at SPL 2.08.HSPL, do I still have to go through the process "3.03 -> 1.66 -> 2.08.HSPL -> 2.08.50" ?

Not really. But it's worth trying Bro
yeah, use a power mat or buy one of those external battery chargers, but be sure to make an extra battery so you can use it when charging the other one..
I'm afraid I don't see the relation between my problem and your post, coldest~~~...
have you tried running DWI.exe in administrator?
Yes, theroffness, I have, unsuccessfully.
Hi, everybody, thank you for your help
I re-downloaded the WPLEO7 folder, and I reinstalled it, it worked ! I'm now in Windows Phone 7, and it looks gorgeous.
On to the next problem, now
My phone is not recognized in my computer, no matter what way I try to go with. Installed Zune and the Windows Mobile Device Center, I can't do anything. Furthermore, the WMDC doesn't detect my WP7'ed HTC HD2. I want to install TouchXplorer and other .xap files, and I can't seem to find how I could possibly do that.
Anyone, s'il vous plaît ? (means "please" in french, for those of you who didn't know ! lol)
Again, Thank you to everybody who wanted to help me !

I did it, thanks for the help. However, ever since I installed chevronwp7.cer, my computer can't seem to recognize my phone anymore. I have all the related software, but I can't go farther.
Also, when I put an SD Card on my phone, it can't switch on !
I honestly don't know how to deal with that, can someone do ? Thanks.
I just solved the problem by my own. But I still have this problem with SD Card. When I put it on my HD2 (at that time, the phone is off. When it is on, it isn't recognized by the phone), I can't switch it on. I obviously need space because I can't even send some damn text messages.
Hi all - I'm in a bit of trouble.
Tried changing the OS to Android and must have made a mistake somewhere along the line.
Was using ROM update utility MAGDLR V1.13 and got as far as updating the ROM Was told that the screen should go black and if it didn't, then I needed to perform a reset.
I did this and now the screen just shows the htc logo on white background.
Irish phone - got it august '10. recently upgraded ROM from HTC site to version 3.14.405.2 but not sure now whether I've wrecked it completely.
Was just sick of WinMo and wanted a change - can anyone help please?

boot into bootloader and start again. do you have hspl? right radio?
get into bootloader. flash magldr. then flash nandroid.
you probably need to downgrade the rom to get to hspl 2.08
Thanks - I got the correct HSPL and installed it on the phone, that part was fine. The problem now is that the handset isn't even acknowledging when it's plugged in. And when I connect via USB, the computer isn't registering any connection to it.
I think it's toast! The only thing I can see is a white background with green htc lettering i.e. welcome screen
Thanks for getting back to me, any other ideas?
Will I be able to reload original windows back on by myself?
Try windows 7 XP sucks doing this kind of stuff
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Thanks very much for the response. As above, the handset is completely unresponsive - it's not even showing a "charge" when plugged in.
Any help greatly appreciated
Many thanks

Can you get to bootloader?
(power on while holding vol. down)........
If so, get to bootloader then connect via usb. The word serial at the bottom of the screen should change to USB. This sometimes takes a few minutes (for me anyway)
Once it reads "USB" flash a WM6.5 Rom in the usual way.......
If you cant get to bootloader then theres a good chance you've somehow borked your device......
Thanks everyone and in particular jsmmcabe and conantroutman
I got into bootloader and I'm trying to reinstall the windows os from there.
will let you know how I get on,
thanks again guys - lifesavers
I should have mentioned that flashing a stock 6.5 rom will wipe HSPL.
If you flash a stock rom then you will need to reinstall HSPL before attempting any MAGLDR/NAND shenanigans... (sheNANDigans?? see what I did there )
If you flash a custom ROM from XDA then your HSPL will be ok......
Also should have mentioned the age old "NO .51. radios on a tmous" advice.........
Good luck.......
Well after all of that I went to Pirate Bay, downloaded an Android 2.2 file, copied it onto my SD card and ran it.
Hey presto, I have an Android Phone!
I cannot begin to tell you how much better it is. It's fast, it doesn't freeze, the whole interface is much cleaner and easier to use.
SNAG ITEM:
Tried doing the same with a friends phone and when activating the copied files from the SD card, the thing just hangs and I have to reset the phone.
Any idea why it worked on mine and not his?
Same phone, bought in Ireland, a week apart. Different mobile operator networks though..... I'm Vodafone, he's O2 - weird, no?

Could be its not booting because of an incompatible radio....
must be above 2.08.50..... you can find this info in settings about phone...
Also, why download android from the piratebay???
Everything android related you could possibly need is here on XDA.
Personally Id be suspicious of anything from a site like that. Theres no way of knowing whats in that Rom. I would change to a well used and trusted build from XDA if I were you.
Theres no exact science to getting this running on different phones, what works for one may not work for another......
Hi all.
I'm trying to install the official RUU because I'm giving this smartphone away and I get the error:
"ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR"
The version I'm trying to run is: "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver"
I know this one worked for me before when I had to send my smartphone to repair so I saved it.
Is there any way around this or how can I get back my Hero to stock?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure all drivers on your computer are correct and working properly. Other than that I can't think of any other solutions at the moment.

Have you made a gold card for your phone?
Thanks for replies.
I think the drivers are correct...In the Device Manager it shows HTC > My HTC as it should.
I haven't done any gold card for the device. Not sure what's that for either
Any more suggestions? I really need to reset this phone somehow.
EDIT: One thing I didn't do was install the Android SDK. Would that help somehow?

1st, it is not possible to do the RUU with win Vista/7, WinXP is the best choice. Perhaps, you can install a xp-mode on you win7. I resolved the OS computability issue in this way.

2nd, if your phone was not produced in the region that your RUU ROM belongs. Then, you must have a gold-card.
It seems that your problem was caused by lacking of a gold card as that was a customer ID error.
So I need to make a gold card? I mean, can I still make one after it's flashed?
I have used this same RUU before so this has to be the one.
I also believe that I have the original img from before, could I flash this img with ROM Manager or something?
I'll try running this on a XP to see what happens but this "Customer ID" error is weird..
