I'd like to put a response up on how I got my friend's HTC Legend loaded with CWM and subsequently rooted.
I didn't go through and read the whole thread, but when I was searching to a solution to the errors I got when trying to flash the S-ON .zip package, I later discovered that with HTC's (relatively new?) bootloader unclocking method (via their HTCdevs website), you can flash the otherwise "S-OFF" Clockwork mod image with no problem via fastboot (again, once *UNLOCKED* through the HTC website). This ultimately makes the Supertool scripts superfluous. Once you have clockwork mod flashed, rooting is simply a matter of flashing a rooted ROM, or root package through CWM.
It's not as complicated as it once was, needing complex scripts, gold cards, and whatnot.
1. Unlock via
HTC website (requires that you flash appropriate RUU image updating hboot, and
register and perform other procedures which may void parts of your warranty)
2. Flash the
S-OFF CWM Recovery img (not zip!) via fastboot as per instructions (but again, flash the previously denoted "S-OFF" compatible .img recovery onto your now *UNLOCKED* S-ON Legend phone.
*contrary to what it says in the thread, with an *UNLOCKED* S-ON bootloader, it's possible to flash the image, and everything works fine (as best as I can tell, and I don't see why it shouldn't. The zip format was meant to allow you to flash it through the native recovery, because security features were restricting fastboot's access to recovery files; with an unlocked bootloader this is no longer an issue, despite the phone still being S-ON it's unlocked and allows flashing of the recovery files via fastboot.)
*NOTE*: I used the older version, without a hitch, but I'd guess that 5.0.2.8 would work just as well. May try it out later.
3. Flash your desired rooted (or stock) ROM, or root package etc. Anyhow, once you've got CWM Recovery loaded it's just like any other phone...
