 I might get a Legend SOON... so i read this thread... but it's kinda lengthy... Just hope if there is sumone who can summarize for me?? New to android world too... 1) Android OS v2.1 (Eclair) is the official one for legend? 2) The update recently have wad pros n cons? So to update or not? 3) Be4 update, the phone has any bugs? 4) Legend is way better after rooting? I guess that's all question i have for now??  : hmmThis post has been edited by byfc2010: Aug 15 2010, 11:09 AM |

QUOTE(feiraron @ Aug 15 2010, 12:14 PM) No I didn't, I just use it as normal and the problem gone, Hi there... thanks alot... it clears me up... as I said, I suspect that the button cuthole on the aluminium is too tight, wears out after a few weeks of usage maybe 1) yes 2) Pros: better signal over wifi and 3g network, no more silent ringtone bug (some users still claim it still have the bug) Cons: SMS bug update/not: up to you, but it is an essential upgrade for me as i live in a weak signal area, most of the time i couldnt even get a signal before, now 2 to 3 bars 3) Silent ringtone bug, it is a bug where even if you left the "silent on pickup" (a feature HTC included in this phone) option off, whenever receiving calls your ringtone will still be muffled if you move your phone 4) never tried it before, but rooting alone does not really give you anything performance wise (except the use of several apps such as shootme and titanium backup), its the custom ROM that you want, so far there is a few custom ROM based on froyo (android 2.2) if you are curious to try, but they are still in development stage and has a few bugs here and there, check out XDA forum legend section and the Unlockr has a good guide on rooting, flashing and unrooting the HTC legend * for me I'm waiting for the official froyo as we should have it in Q3 this year (which we are already in), before that im sticking with the official 2.1, its not like its unusable or anything without the froyo update! I'm still very satisfied with my phone and it functions without any real problem that annoys me at all.. and legend is already smooth as it is   i'm gonna get this phone... yeah i alr bookmarked the unlockr sites n xda forum... been reading around as well, even i haven't bought it... XD sorry stil noob around, my root means to root it n flash to custom rom... anything u dun like bout the eclair other than the bugs u stated?? |

QUOTE(ABeatC @ Aug 26 2010, 07:29 PM) Go for Legend if your case is default connection type set to not ask u, The wifi signal is not really that weak, I've tried it, I can connect to my house wifi when I'm across the street, so don't know does that count as good or not  I need help guys, for some reason I connect my legend to my com, it usually pops up the Ask Me thing in seconds, but now, I plug in for a while yet nothing appears, but it is charging and my com sense the phone, but can't open it, I used my brother's com and same thing as well, someone help?  u can go to settings>connect to pc, tick "ask me".. |

QUOTE(andrekua @ Oct 24 2010, 09:42 AM) Finally done with the rooting... it was a tiring somewhat... so step 1 error 42 is due to goldcard not usable?They should really suggest you to prepare a few sdcard for it. At least 2 copies of gold card when one fail and one clean memory card for the rooting process. thus causing error in step 2? This post has been edited by byfc2010: Oct 24 2010, 10:45 AM |

QUOTE(byfc2010 @ Oct 23 2010, 10:59 PM) i need help here seriously... is it that if i change another microSD card then my phone can read my card? guys i tried to root but i oso stuck at here... meanwhile, i'm not sure is it my phone is usb bricked... cz my phone couldn't detect my microsd upon plug in... i don't really know what's USB bricked too! can anyone help me? bcmengs can tell how u got through that step 2 part? p/s: card can be detected in fastboot, recovery and windows but not when my phone is booted up normally... last night i tried to insert an old 512MB microSD card and my phone return the same error "Removed SD card"... can anyone help me here? QUOTE(andrekua @ Oct 24 2010, 11:48 AM) If you fail step2, most likely the gold card dont work... So do u know which will cause step 1 to have the error?In order to see the error in step1, better use 'command' and then run the bat file from there. I also had this 42 custom id which lead to device not found in step2. Boot up your phone, recreate gold card, and try step1 again. If you are successful, step1 is actually a very long process with a lot of unzipping... for step2, better find another sdcard and clean format it. I had problem in Step2 when I used my stock cards with previous android inside. If you had mount problem in Step2, then format the sdcard and try again... how not to get the error? |

QUOTE(andrekua @ Oct 24 2010, 01:43 PM) The problem in step1 is caused by the gold card error. That's why advised you to recreate the gold card. the problem is now i have Removed SD card error...i can't recreate a goldcard by any means... |

duno what's wrong...
Gosh... able to downgrade to 1.31 with the goldcard created before my phone couldn't detect my microSD card... but couldn't unbrick my usb and couldn't proceed to step 2 of rooting... Haiz.... Added on October 24, 2010, 6:08 pmBelow are what I did before I kept getting the error "Removed SD card"... Eclair 2.1 with update 1. 1. Create goldcard. Success. 2. Then i went on with the rooting guide, without applying RUU.1.31. 3. Failed in step1-windows.bat, step2-windows.bat. Thus kept creating goldcard.(obviously i am so newbie) 4. Then after sometimes of retrying I get the error after a reboot. After i got the error, I created a goldcard based on the previous CID i got. The goldcard enables me to downgrade to RUU.1.31. But still the error is still there. Tried the unbrick guide. But even after I execute "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", then follow the guide with "fastboot oem boot", my USB still didn't work. Ignoring the fact that the guide needs SD capability I did all the steps in the guide(i use softroot, since i never rooted my legend yet!), all commands went through without error, even retried. Till now my phone stilll shows the error, "Removed SD card". Can anyone help me? Paul? anyone? Card i used: 1. Sandisk 2GB card that comes with the phone(my goldcard), 512MB old microSD card. Guides used: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-lege...ow-with-1-31-x/ http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-lege...d-b0rked-fixed/ Both cards are working well, can be detected in windows and no error when checked with h2testw in windows. Windows can detect Legend when connected. Drivers all good. So guys, is this really USB bricked or what it is? If u guys need any information bout the phone please let me know, i'll try to provide.

QUOTE(feiraron @ Oct 24 2010, 09:11 PM) errr... did you use the goldcard for flashing root rom step 2? er yeah... you need to use a different card for step 2 or format that goldcard, gold card is only used for step one of rooting (note: not downgrading, rooting) did try that reformat the goldcard then step 2... but step 1 alr got customer ID error... so step 2 for sure failed also... means goldcard not success? i would like to create a goldcard from scratch but my phone just can't read microSD cards anymore..
