This guide effects people with HBOOT 1.00 and above and a desire to have system write access. and head back to your rom as quick as possible or just flash other desired rom. If you have a new Legend. note that if you use this method to flash your rom, yes you can. but there's no known way to reverse the unlock thus void your warranty.
I bare no responsible if you brick your phone using this guide. be warned!
This guide assume you have a working fastboot, htc sync(drivers) in your system. in windows system as ruu and htc sync are made for windows.
process are...
1. nandroid backup your rom.. so that you can restore this after unlock.
2. titanium backup your system if you plan to jump to other ROM. "backup all user apps + system data"
3. unlock your bootloader using the tools from HTCdev page
4. Download CWM and FLASH CWM recovery into your phone. off your phone and boot to booloader and select fastboot [a red "FASTBOOT USB"] and flash your recovery using fastboot instrution from kasra_Qeshm thread and download the "For S-OFF" and follow the S-OFF instructions from that thread using fastboot. incase you forgot. off and than hold "vol -" and power button will take you to bootloader.
5. boot to your new CWM recovery and restore your rom from step 1 or flash other rom and restore your data with titanium backup from step 2. (you go here from bootloader above and select recovery)
[about the unlock bootloader page]
Ok since HTCdev have given an unlock boot loader lets put it to good use. The process is very simple. but note you need to be in latest RUU froyo to proceed upgrade your hboot from the site and do the unlock procedure.
if you dont have any froyo RUU laying around you can head to cyRqs thread and download the RUU he uploaded or the link he specified.
on the HTCdev bootloader ruu-download page you can use the HTC WWE rom 3.15.405.5 to update your hboot correspondingly after you're in froyo.
else if you do have your RUU around, you can use it to flash back to stock and use your correspondingly hboot update from ruu-download page these downloads are around 5.8MB. so if one does not fit try the others.
Don't forget to hit thanks button from the thread you downloaded their findings.
