Hi,

I intended to do the Froyo OTA update for my Legend today. Started the download, it finished and wanted to start the installation.
During the installtion it started to boot loop, it got to around 98% every time and then booted again, doing that over and over several times.
After about 30st boot loops I plugged the battery to see if it would help, nope... now i get the white screen with green HTC text and after that I get
to a black background with a dark phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it, waiting ca 2min and it will reboot again.

Is my phone bricked or is there something I can do?
Any help or suggestions would be very appriciated.

My phone is an unbranded HTC Legend, swedish.
HBOOT-0.43.0001

Try entering the recovery mode and then use RUU update from a PC. Your phone is not branded and i think that you don't need goldcard to flash RUU.

And you should read more! There must be a hundreds of posts about this...

Thanks for the help.
Where do I find the RUU?
Tried http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Legend but they dont start on my computer. Generating some kind of windows error message.
The size of the Froyo update is wrong (only 4 MB). Try to download from different place.

You can use also LEGEIM image from here:
LEGEIMG_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed.zip

Just put the files in the root of your SD and enter bootloader.

Rename it to LEGEIMG.zip. Put it at the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery. It'll search for and then flash it automatically.

Or you can use the RUU, as suggested, following the guide in this post from the USB Brick thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9889284&postcount=60.

RUU actually contains what is called LEGEIMG.zip. This is not the ordinary update zip that can be flashed from recovery mode!
