Hey danixal, if you (or the rest) don't mind, can you please compile all the useful information on your first post, i.e. rooting guide, custom ROMs, theming, etc.

I remember someone got the Mugen Battery. No report of its performance yet from the member who posted it up.. can't remember who.
To the fellow forummer who bought it, we would like to know the feedback ya smile.gif

I hope it does give extra battery life. The current one is crap.

Hey guys,

Anyone of you had problem with rooting your Legend? I keep getting errors on step 2:

CODE
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found


And then windows terminal then closed by itself. I'm pretty sure I created the gold card successfully using the GoldCard Tool.

Appreciate if anyone could help.

What version is your bootloader?

I think it's 0.43.0.0.1. Which could be why rooting fail sad.gif

Now, when is 2.2 coming to Legend? Sick of hearing "in coming weeks" from HTC.

It is just me or Asian Froyo ROM do not have the Internet pass-through option?

EDIT: Okay, I think I just found out. Need to install HTC Sync software on the PC to enable this option. Will try.

let us know if it's working rclxms.gif

Doesn't work either, no internet pass-through option for me.

Also, is there any hack available for Navigation to work? I just downloaded Google Maps 5.0, haven't try it out yet though. But I don't think that gives turn-by-turn navigation either.

First you need to know how to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 as the HBOOT 1.01 in Legend are somehow restricted us from rooting.

Once in 2.1 you are already rooted and you can start flashing in a custom ROM. For me i use Cyanogen 7.3 ROM, based of Gingerbread 2.3.3.

READ all in this link : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?titl...ll_Update_Guide

also read the user comments too if there is any. It is a MUST if you are rooting it for the first time.

Finally found the time to root & flash yesterday. I'm on CM7 now! Loving every bit of it.... so far.

The procedure is quite laborious as I was on HBOOT 1.01, but I'd say time well spent. The improvement over stock Froyo is quite remarkable & significant. I'm hoping for slightly better battery life though.
