See the sticky thread in the general forum.
Read that but either it's confusing or not enough explanation on how to get it
It's one of those things where u just have to 'do' it rather than trying to understand what you have to do, it that makes sense, lol. The first step is to just get linux installed and if you don't have any knowledge of Linux, that is a major mission in itself if you're a Windows based person like me....retrieving your uid is not gonna be a 5 min affair be prepared for a good day or two....people here can only help u once you've made some sort of attempt to at least try to follow the guides that others have put together. If you've read the thread you will see that others with no experience have had success with the Linux method. Give it a go you have nothing to lose at this stage!!

Read and/or ask specific questions about the parts you don't understand.

There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?
I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.
Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.
Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

Here is a video of doing the whole root process. link
The guy has a site here is the link.
See the rooting link in my signature.
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

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.

It seems that this tool(.bat file to be precise) COMPLETELY ERASES all of the partitions on the tablet and then creates new ones. I used this flasher like an idiot... there is another thread that has a working tutorial for using nvflash. So, to anyone else who wants to follow this: DON'T EXECUTE download.bat, it will ****up your tf.
Can someone please provide me, and others with a full backup of the transformer? I really don't want to send my tablet to ASUS. Please, this is important. Thanks in advance! ps: pm me i'll provide the hosting space.
Or.. I can try to follow this guide for now.

I agree. The topic should really be "NVFlash How To Brick It Further".
The NVFlash Stock 3.1 topic is the one that should be stickied.
Hmm i don't get it. I've used it to flash prime 1.5 no problem.
Just extract the prime for nvflash in the folder and you're gtg

I did the same exact thing right after I took my TF out of the box. The nvflash unbrick process worked to get my Transformer back to normal.

OP in that topic instructs you to execute download.bat, but doesn't say that you need to have bins inside the same folder. I looked inside and though it will only send a bootloader, so then I can execute backup or restore commands.

You are aware that the guy who made the thread is the one who released the NVFlash tool in the first place right?
I used NVFlash to root. People have mentioned that this wipes and erases everything. You should of read everything before doing it.
I love it when people blame the OP/dev. But everything that you flash/do is YOUR responsibility. No body elses. Let's see you develop something for the TF101. Until then, don't criticize other people's works.
If you watched the video, it tells you what to do including moving the files extracted from Prime .tar.bz2 into the /nvflash/ folder. I'll agree that his instructions were kind of vague but if you really looked into the video, you would of noticed it.

How was I supposed to know that there is a video, on the forum linked from blog linked from OP post ? It should be in the quick guide steps list.... He could at least warn us about it.

Watching the Youtube video isn't apart of using the NVFlash. Everything that you do is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Not anybody elses. I was the first people to even use this tool and it works. You MESSED UP, stop blaming other people for your mistakes.
The OP linked androidroot.mobi. which leads to http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?976-Nvflash-Unbricking-and-forever-root! which leads to a youtube video
And it did say quick instructions

Yea, quick instructions to brick your device. It's his responsibility to post complete instructions everywhere. I shouldn't have to guess that there might be more somewhere linked on the linked website. Is it so hard to warn people to put bins into folder or it will erase everything? As I said, in other thread sending bootloader allows you to execute commands by hand, here it executes automatically and the visual difference between two commands is not apparent.
Dude just redo the procedure with prime in the folder. You can still usee nvflash even if it doesn't boot at all

Man you must be new to Android. You should know that everytime when you do some kind of significant modification to your phone/tablet, there will most likely be a full wipe.
Everything is your responsibility. In the end, YOU'RE THE ONE that made the decision to use NVFlash. You should of done your research before hand. Or at least be a pest and ask before you do something.
Zephik, I think it's not the data that he's worried about. He thinks his device is bricked.
Sent from my Legend using XDA Premium App
I did this like a moron too. It's OK, your TF is not bricked. Download the prime rom and extract it to the same folder as download.bat and you will be fine. I agree that the instructions could be clearer.
I think this guy is hopeless; he does not understand what he's reading. Could be a total misunderstanding of android concepts, or he is just lazy. He should stick with olpc, i think. Lol...
Looks like he herped when he derped.

Oh man. That's a huge contradiction. Upon using a tool that is supposed to unbrick your tablet... bricked his table
Cry elsewhere please. If you don't know what you're doing... don't do it. Its amazing that that even needs to be said.

If you did request for assistance due to your own incompetence, you would not have been at the receiving end of brickbats. Next time, do not throw garbage else it would go back to you.
i agree that there is a bit of ambiguity regarding where to put the rom files [extracting the zip into the same folder, will place them into a subfolder]. Perphaps modify the instructions to make it a bit more clear.
the op is a bit over-reacting though. that thread was brought to you by the people who brough us the nvflash process [and also by the letter M]. a bit less tude would go a long way.

The .exe of what? Have you read the thread? If you did, you'd know the RUU or the HTC sync exe is not a required step.
adb works on linux without drivers.

so i got an HD2 device i'v just recived.
its currently working with the windows rom i belive,
i really dont like this rom, it does not support my home langugage (hebrew),and it is quit complicated.
as it seems i am new to the HTC devices and i am here to ask for help as an HTC noob,
i want to change my rom to an android rom wich will support all the things i need like music,apps (whatsapp,facebook,games and any kind of application that a smartphone should be able to run), camera, videos and more,
i found lots of roms here and guids, but as an noob those guides are really not understandable and really make my head hurt, lol.
could some one explain to me step by step how to make my lame windows phone to an modern awesome android phone?
thanks very much, yoni.

Please read the guide in my sig that says 'a guide to all of the terms for the HD2', it has everything you need to know about this sort of stuff. After that either use mengfei's guide or the second guide in my sig which explains the flashing process.
