Here Am I again. Sorry for my questions I hope that I get one more reaction.

I have have successfully unlocked my bootloader with the HTC DEV method.
But I still don't have ROOT acces. I have installed ROM Manager to do a full back-up of my ROM but it says: 'You don't have ROOT acces'.

I tought that when I unlock the bootloader with the HTC DEV method that I have ROOT acces on my HTC Legend.

What am I doing wrong?

Please help!

After unlocking boot loader, use HTC supertools (which can be downloaded in this forum or just Google it) and it should be rooted.

YEAH BIG THANKS! YEEEEAAAAAH! HTCSupertools were very easy! Thank you soooooooooooo much! Really, really, really thanks!

But..I want to back up my original Dutch 2.2 ROM. When I touch in Rom Manager:
Back up ROM, my Legend restarts and I get a phone with a red triangle.
When I push: Volume UP and then the On/Off button I get:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command.

I tried everything: Formatting SD card and much more.
Why is a backing up of my original ROM so difficult?

P.s. I also installed: Clockwork Recovery.

Similar Problem.

Hi Folks,

The above is similar to my problem.... I am an absolute total NOOB!! Rooted my legend thanks to these forums just yesterday and have SuperUser, ROM Manager & ROM Toolbox installed and can see the root and access files so most things seem to work..... BUT.....

Every time I try to update the ROM or partition the SD card I get the dreaded red triangle/exclamation mark and have to remove the battery to allow the phone to reboot into the dreaded Vodafone ROM.

My startup shows "UNLOCKED" S-on but according to other threads here that is not a problem as unlocked automatically means S-off.

Any ideas or threads to read would be much appreciated thank you as I want to try Gingerbread before I risk ICS :)

Thank you :)

Hi guys,

if you're experiencing the red triangle horror, don't be afraid it's quite common.
This triangle shows up when you try to reboot in recovery mod but the recovery image couldn't be loaded.

The easiest way is to use ROM Manager to update your recovery to the latest available and then press "reboot in recovery".

Otherwise, you can try to flash recovery image by hand.
Download the latest recovery image [1] and follow the method listed there which is :

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img

EDIT: of course these two commands are to be executed in a shell command when your Legend is connected to your computer and the image file is in the current directory, otherwise put its path.

I LOVE YOU! I did it and I did a flash image recovery by hand. Now I am going to back up my ROM!

Rexjarvis, if you don't know what to do with the command you have to do:

when the device is switched off, hold the volume down & power button in order for the phone to boot into the bootloader & connect the phone to the pc. You see now: ''Fastboot usb''.

Download the recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img file and put it in the same folder on your pc as fastboot.exe & adb. then open the commandline on the pc, navigate to the folder that contains the fastboot.exe. You know: CMD and then C:\Android for example. Then you have to do the two commands from Bibzor:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img

I have been trying to flash with ROM Manager but have permanent verification errors. Now I will try via adb as above. THANK YOU - Wish me luck :)



No joy... All I get is the same error E:Can't open.......... etc followed by E:Singanture verification error....

Can I not force an S-Off?
