Get HTC Legend in Recovery mode (for rooted phones)

[ferenczhuba]

Hello HTC mates,

This is my first post, despite the fact that I am a member since 2007. I am writing this post, because yesterday I could not download the attached zip, and I could not find a tutorial just for getting a Legend into recovery mode.

So:

Once you have a rooted device you can easily get into recovery mode by following the next steps:

- download the attached zip (it does not contain essential, but bigger files, needed for rooting)
- it is the same as in Paul`s post on modaco. I am not allowed to post links, as this is my first post, so google it, if you want to root your device.

After you have finished downloading:

- Unzip the file you downloaded to a directory, then open a command prompt / terminal window at that directory.
- You can enter recovery mode by turning your device on with the volume button held down and selecting 'RECOVERY', then running either 'recovery-windows.bat', './recovery-mac.sh' or './recovery-linux.sh' as appropriate from the root zip directory.

And that is all. Have fun!

Thread was made using Paul`s Legend rooting guide.

Thank you all, who worked so hard!

There is no solutin, as far as I know. I am happier with this one, if I have to send it back for warranty issues I can easily swich back to stock ROM.

hi there, i've tried this method to get my HTC legend into recovery mode, but with no luck. I get the following error:

push: files/sbin/unyaffs -> /sbin/unyaffs
failed to copy 'files/sbin/unyaffs' to '/sbin/unyaffs': Read-only file system

btw, I used pauls post to rot the phone.can anyone help me out? Im actually trying to install busybox and then dropbear so that i can run maintenance on the routers in my mesh network.

I think you need to be in recovery mode on your phone to run the recovery.bat/.sh file. You do this by turning on your phone holding down the back button and choosing recovery. It might be under fastboot. Then you will have permission to push the files.
