well i have HBOOT 1.01 i cant S-OFF??

 

[aikon96]

Hboot 1.00 or 1.01 or 1.xxx doesn+t work.
U have to wait, till Alpharev gets an update or perhaps there ll be a option to downgrade, but not yet for Legend... Sorry

 

[i4o]

This is from here - http://alpharev.nl/

Supported devices:

* HTC Desire GSM (Bravo), all hardware models (PVT4 too)
* HTC Legend GSM, HBOOT 1.0+ is NOT supported
* HTC myTouch 3G Slide (Espresso)

So yeah. it's out.

For those who updated to HBOOT 1.0, sorry, but we warned about the OTA updates multiple times. Those who don't listen get bitten.

I'll need some testers soon to try and find a way to downgrade HBOOT 1.0 to earlier releases, but I would need:

-a linux box to work from (ssh)
-prolonged access to a Legend device, with no concern for the running ROM, at least 24 hours.
-good HTC warranty (ofcourse I won't try some uber-experimental bricking-risk method, but it's a disclaimer nonetheless)

Ah, decisions. I'm happy with the system overlay. Shall I upgrade?

Okay tried several times:

Step 1 -> no problem
Step 2 -> phone restarts, (after pressing "FASTBOOT) phone rebooted and did nothing, only started normal in Android System ... I´ve bootet manually to bootloader again, after that, script says that Step2 is complete
Step 3 -> phone restarts, (after pressing "FASTBOOT) phone rebooted and did nothing, only started normal in Android System ... Booted again manually to bootloader,a fter that:

....

Waiting for flashin complete...

Does this tool work if you "burn" the ISO to a USB drive and boot from that?

Haven't tried yet, but will tomorrow

Step 2-> Press enter after reading the message. The script will instruct you when to press FASTBOOT, and only then.

The phone will then boot normally into android (the script will show that it's waiting for bootup)

After pressing FASTBOOT (only after you've pressed enter to let the process continue, obviously)

No manual intervention should be necessary. The phone is suppsoed to reboot by itself.

Are you 100% sure you've passed through the USB connection (every reboot!!!) to whatever VM you're running?

 

[bonethugs]

i think it will work at least it work on a virtual machine so i think usb too. xD

If you've got a working linux-box (at least adb and permissions to access the device), then you could use script and binaries from the iso without actually booting the whole system.

Though it's risky if you want I can upload the important parts for you so you don't have to use an iso. At least that's the way I did it.

Well, here's the thing. I never did manage to get ABD to work on my Linux box. I just got a shedload of "?" whenever I ran "adb devices". I just tried booting the ISO found here from a SD card, and it booted fine. I'm very unsure about actually S-OFF-ing it though. I may just stick with the ol' /system overlay. Thanks for the offer though

EDIT:

Well, I did it. My phone is now S-OFF, the tool worked fine when booted from an SD card. Phew

 

[juanporrero]

S-OFF!!!
Thankss!!!

 

[TheGrammarFreak]

I flashed curto's keep it simple ROM, the FroYo version. (Backed up the other ROM first obviously). I then stuck the update.zip for ClockworkMOD on a blank SD card, and put that in my Legend (just in case). I booted my gizmo up, booted up from the ISO (no messing around in VMs for me) and followed instructions.

@TheGrammarFreak

At the Linux terminal, you need the proper permissions to use ADB.

su (sudo) ./adb kill-server
(sudo) ./adb start-server
./adb devices

Su or sudo as applicable to your box. (Don't use the brackets obviously )
