thank you
If you are planning to root and go for custom roms etc then do not update with any official firmware. Head over to the Development forum for all you need to know on rooting, s-off, eng-off etc.
can i use visiionary tool to root or not....do i have downgrade from 2.2 to what....and then root
As mentioned above, go to Development and there you will find detailed stepbystep instructions how to downgrade first and than how to root your phone. Do not install automatic upgrade to 2.3 because it will be harder (not impossible) to root your phone (I learned it hard way after making official upgrade, but my phone is rooted and working well)

I'm new so be easy on me I done some hacking on my PSP and was about take a stab at my Eris I have 1.5 on it. I have searched the forum and Google it and I didn't get the answer I needed. I need to know how to downgrade back to 1.5 from 2.1 root before I upgrade. step by step would be nice or point me in the right direction Thanks
Do able, I did it somewhat by
unpacking a 1.5 rom,
Taking taking boot.img and system.img and re flashing it.
This will give you atleast at a glance stock phone, course you will still have the engineering bootloader, and the new radio firmware.
Sorry no step by step, no indepth how to. Not feeling good, not wanting "OMG U BROKE MY KNOW" messages.
Ok so no one has put up a step by step full downgrade up yet Now I got to decide if I want to upgrade to 2.1 or wait I have 2 Eris one with the 2.1 leak on it and the other 1.5 I'm not liking the 2.1 leak after upgrading my phone had lots of FC and Buggy **** happen besides the root whats so different with the 2.1 leak and the 2.1 root Thanks
I'm a new Legend user, have been waiting for the official 2.2 Froyo but it seems so far away. Want to root and flash the Cynogen 6 ROM, but I dont wanna brick my new phone.
1. Is there a chance to brick my phone using the guide from The Unlockr ?
2. After rooting the phone, do i still have the stock HTC ROM (2.1 Eclair) (Kernel 2.6.xxx) and flash it to which rom i want (i this case Cynogen 6) or do i have the a new custom rom ?
3. Best/easiest or safest way to root ? I've heard that Universal androot 1.6.2 should work on Legend, after some tester has comfirmed it on the unlockr site.
Last thing. Some good tips i should know before rooting or some news on Official froyo release. Please feel free to share it.
Welcome aboard friend.
1) The Unlockr method is not working.
2) Search button
3) Method from MoDaCo. That is a softroot.
Cheers.
P/S : Search button is your friend.
What does it means with "soft root" ? thats why im o confuse thanks for the answer
soft root means its only root in memory , you loose once you power off phone
Ignore/delete
I have the Virgin Mobile Intercept with 2.2 and I would like to root and use a custom ROM. I have been searching everywhere on how to do it, but all I'm finding is either how to root an intercept running 2.1 and how to upgrade to 2.2. So my question is can I follow the 2.1 root instructions or is there a link that tells how to root if your phone already has 2.2? Also what are some good ROMs to consider. Any link or advice is appreciated
Hello, i am looking for help to find out what i need to set up/have in order to flash a custom rom.
All i have is stock G2 with the latest update, phone model is LG-D802, android version is 4.4.2 and it not rooted.
I know first off i need to root the damn thing, but if any of you could point out some kind of post or guide with some kind of step by step info of how to root and after that how to continue with a flash of rom that would be awesome.
I`ve spend some time around the forum looking for such post but couldnt find one, and i am kinda scared to do this on my own since i`ve soft bricked a lot of my old devices.

easiest method, is to use the KDZ method (huge thread on it here) to get back to jelly bean, then download towleroot. one click root.
Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member with a couple questions.
I have read many threads here and elsewhere and have recently found two possible sources of information to help me finally unlock my boot loader > backup nandroid > flash cyanogenmod. Profit.
My Droid Razr M has root access. System Version: 98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US / Android JB 4.1.2 / Build Number 9.8.1Q-94
Wen I started, I got used to the idea of staying with JB 4.1.2. It has worked well over the year. And having root and Titanium Backup has given me great power over my phone.
I would like to ask if it is possible to both root and unlock the newer KK 4.4.2 using the these methods I have found and my phone.
First PrankCallPimp youtube guide states I need to flash from JB 4.1.2 to Verizon stock KK 4.4.2 using RSDLite
Second Mr. Blue Coat provides a better stepwise guide outlining root access and unlock procedures, but starting with KK 4.4.2. Very Complete Blog.
I have assembled all of the files these sources suggest to have on hand during the project.
Additional questions. Is PrankCallPimp's method to flash to KK 4.4.2 using VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml files in RSDLite correct? His video cuts out after a while. After flashing KK 4.4.2 the phone will be similar to a factory reset and be susceptible to OTA updates. Currently I use Voodoo OTA to prevent updates. Should I reinstall Voodoo OTA to prevent Verizon pushed updates or go from there to root access and boot loader unlock procedures?
I have never liked following a youtube guide and wonder if there is a printed version I could review before starting. Also I installed RSDLite and my phone can be detected by the program.
I think if Mr. Blue Coats guide is acceptable to everyone, I could follow it with no problems.
What I'm worried about is giving up my currently profitable root access on JB 4.1.2 to go to KK 4.4.2.
It seems that if I really want an unlocked boot loader, I must take KK 4.4.2
If these two guides work, with someone's help, I would be happy to join them into a single clear guide to post here.
I lack the experience most of you have so I'm reaching out with these questions before I even consider going through with this.
Thanks All. Ps. I'm in no hurry.
Read this thoroughly
Thank You
Thank you for the ultrafast help!
There was my answer: 4. RESTORING / UPGRADING STOCK FIRMWARE.
And all the additional tools required for root access and boot loader unlock.
