Thanks, i was using an 8gb sandisk sdhc card which didnt seem to work, switched to a 1gb generic card i had and it worked...
I've modded a few phones before, but this one's making me feel like it's too hard. Yet I kind of need to get it done in order for the damn thing to accept my SIM and actually make calls...
Following this guide because my bootloader is 1.02.
Stuck at the point where I needed a goldcard, the Revskills page was returning errors, but after a couple of days it's come good, but of course I'm stuck on the very next step, dammit
When I'm in the terminal (does it need to be as admin?) and I run crackin.bat from the Android\android-sdk\tools directory with the hack4legend files in it, it returns "Copying tools", then 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. a bunch of times, but still runs through steps "Freeing primary PERM linker", "Freeing secondary PERM linker", "Rebooting to normal mode to unlock CHMOD links", "Rebooting to normal mode to downgrade ROM", and "Freeing links", all the while spitting out the error, although I didn't notice the phone rebooting.
Now, I was pretty sure I have a working ADB, cause that was one of the hassles I've struggled with; there was a flag in my Device Manager about it until I sorted it, and now HTC Sync appears to work and so on. But anyway, whatever, I install the Android SDK to get around it, but no dice, same error. So I figure I should just add ADB to the path, right? So I add C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools\adb.exe to my path, and I'm still getting the same error.
It's driving me nuts this time around, every little step is broken down into several painful hassles. Just for example, my login timed out before I tried to post this... this forum's missing a head/wall smiley.
Hey mate you don't need to do the gold card method anymore. You can unlock your bootloader via HTCdev, root with HTCSuperTools v3 and then apply CWM via the S-OFF method.
Sent from my Legend using xda app-developers app
I managed to get the bootloader unlocked after another try at HTCDev; for some reason I couldn't get the code the first time.
Is there a guide to HTCSuperTools for the Legend? I tried option 4, 'Attempt S-OFF, SIM unlock, and everything else (using gfree)', and it referred me to HTCDev, saying I needed to unlock the bootloader : /
Then I tried flashing the recovery image, but got this error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Think the hack needs updating as the Froyo update will be slightly different to previous builds.
Guess I'm right - Find guide at modaco for this - thanks paul (and the dude who pm'd me this link!)
