Few Question

If I un-root my legend this way, can I expect OTA update to froyo or need to do something more?

...and not related to this topic but I do not know where to put...

Legend do not have chance to have 720p camera recording /movie/ because of hardware resource, or??
{Somewhere I read about ROM which give that ability, but I can`t find it anymore...and unfortunately not sure anymore is that ROM for Legend at all}

Found issue for my SFR Legend (Vodafone in French), worked with LEGEIMG.zip extracted from RUU SFR 1.32 (downloaded from HTC French website) [with a goldcard] .
don't work [CID Incorrect] with unbranded LEGEIMG.zip (two link in first post) and the same goldcard.

For OTA update, i keep the goldcard, work 100% all update (included Froyo), i think for security i keep the goldcard everytime

For person who don't get working, try extract LEGEIMG.zip from RUU from your original operator

Oh Damn I want to use this it seems to be great :) but I'm getting error :"Main Version is older, update failed" ...I have Vodafone 2.2 Original (no root)...I would like to go to Stock because I don't like HTC Sense...So ist there a way to use this with already 2.2 on the Legend?

I've formated my SD card to FAT 32 (not fastformat)
Put the Legeimg on my SD card and installed it on my phone
Pressed volume down + power
UNROOTED!!!

Downgrade using a goldcard..If you have hboot 1.00 or newer it will not downgrade hboot but if you have 0.43 it may make the hboot go to a version 1.00 or above so be weary if you intend to hack it again..

Thanks for replying, but my hboot is 0.43.0001, S-On

when i use a normal sd card formatted to FAT32, it gave me CID incorrect error, when i try with a gold card, formatted as well, it gave me the main version older error.

Forgive me for asking but why are you trying to unroot again?I can get the factory rom for you and make it flashable?

I have sent 3 phones back to htc (as well as my mate having to send his desire back twice) all of which were rooted with custom hboot's and HTC never said a word!

EDIT: Uploading a standard (unrooted) version of Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3 It'll take about an hour..Flashable .zip file, no radio,no hboot etc etc..

Im trying this with a goldcard fat32 formatted 2gb with LEGEIMG.zip loaded onto the sd card

After checking the image is ok it just flashes stright to the fastboot menu

I tried to press Volume-Up very fast on the split second screen in between when it says something something reboot but no joy
:confused:

0.43.0001
s-on

Edit: - on the screen that passes quickly after checking the image file it seems to say:

Main Version is older
update fail
something


Has anyone got any ideas what i do next/now?

edit:- Im trying the 2.03 LEGEIMG.zip see what happens

thanks

I get a Error with LEGEIMG.zip 1.31 and 2.03

Says :-

Main Version is Older
update failed


... Is this because maybe the phone is already on eclair 2.1 and 0.43 hboot ??

I extracted rom.zip from RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160328_signed

and named it LEGEIMG.zip

it gets past the checking part but is now seems to do nothing on

Parsing......[SD ZIP]
