Hello,

After several research I find my way to unlock my Legend ! (Sorry for my english)




Needed :

- http://www.mediafire.com/?e8dait6i1h67jzv ( RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.6_Radio_47.51. 35.17_7.13.35.05_release_2223 )
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=903220&d=1329331154 ( PB7610000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R.zip )
- http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img ( recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img )
- http://www.filefactory.com/file/b1d16ag/n/GoldCardTool_exe (GoldCardTool.exe)



Instructions :

  1. Make a ROM Manager backup (if you would restore your custom rom)
  2. Make a backup of your SD card on the pc (for ROM Manager backup and for making goldcard)
  3. Format SD card and make a goldcard with GoldCardTool.exe (follow https://sites.google.com/site/roothtchero/goldcard-2 instructions)
  4. With goldcard in your phone, install the RUU 3.15.405.6 package (the goldcard avoids the error 131)
  5. Install the hboot 1.02 update (PB7610000... needed for htcdev unlock)
  6. Create an account on htcdev and follow the instruction to unlock the hboot
  7. In flashboot mode (as unlock procedure) install CWM for S-OFF hboot : fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img (the img file must be in the adb.exe/fastboot.exe/AdbWinApi.dll folder obviously)
  8. Boot on the recovery and flash any rom like you or/and restore the rom manager backup (if you want restore your custom rom)

Succes ^^

This guide is wrong on many levels,
1st your not unlocking 0.43 your updating to hoot 1.02 you can't do full s-off on hoot on 1.02, so this is bad advice unless you need the restructured system Rom space for special reason.

2nd if your doing htcdev 1.02 hboot update you don't need goldcard, why waist time? I see your changing your current Rom to a Rom that's probably not for your region, that's why you using goldcard.#3 below explains

3rd to install hboot 1.02, you don't need to change your current Rom you only need to follow blay0s method for flashing the hboot image direct.
I'll even add the link for you to blay0s method

You obviously did not understand ^ ^
Or so I badly expressed.

I describe my way to get unlocked (htcdev method) HBOOT starting a HBOOT 0.43.

The goldcard is for the 131 error that I got when installing the ruu package over the custom rom.

And the Blay0s method not work for me so I have install ruu 3.15.405.6 because the update HBOOT requested

You have installed the ruu package? I think not, otherwise you would not have this message.
