ONLY FOR S-OFF PHONE
Guy, good news, IS is now rooted by YuHong of GoAPK.
i just installed it, and confirmed it have a working SU.
you will need to install the custom modded recovery, and then you can install his rom.
it is based on the official 1.38. and it have a english locale available.
for those that can read Chinese:
recovery:

rooted rom:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1647118-1-1.html
I am still testing the rom, so far it seems everything fine.
Sorry i cannot mirror the rom to here since i am having very slow internet connection here. (i am now in China for businese trip)
I do not take any credit, nor any responsibility, all hardwork is done by YuHong of GoAPK.

Problem is how many of us owned a S-off IS...
soff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, remember you must S-OFF, only S-OFF then you can install the recovery.
so sorry to hear that most people here is S-ON.
actually I just bought my IS today, was told by the shop that root is not possible yet, but the phone is S-OFF so i decided to buy it and wait.
luckyly root is ready and available for download.

@ab65,

sorry, as mentioned early, i am now on business trip in china and i dont have a stable and fast internet access to most file upload site.
but after all, i will not mirror it here as i dont know what the developer will think about it when all his hardwork is mirrored without his ackowlegment.
perheps, google is the best option.

You could also just use SuperOneClick to get root.
Just used it, worked great (once you are S-OFF)

Hi guys. I hope you could help me with your wisdom.
Trying to install the new froyo rom on my legend I get a problem like this:
Writing Boot:...
E:Error finishing BOOT:
E:Failure at line 80:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img
BOOT:
Installation aborted.
I know that it happends because y have 1 bad block. I cant believe that the boot partition has just the size it needs. Could I be able to install this update in the future with the S-OFF ?? Can I remap the boot partition to another working space ?
Please help!!
i have same problem. there is no chance.

As soon as kernel source is released we can work this out by recompiling it, separating some drivers from monolythic core thus making it a little bit smaller.
But as I said already (many times) this is hardware flaw that was there already at the production line of NAND chip so U should claim a new phone.

Someone said that he managed to make an OTA upgrade while he wasn't able to upgrade it with whitetigerdk's ROM.
You could try by flashing just boot.img from OTA:
boot into ClockworkMod recovery
adb push boot.img /
adb shell flash_image boot /boot.img (you can try several times)
...although original boot.img is 2512896 bytes and if you have one bad cell you are 22 kB short.
However (as I said too) there's another way... if we get S-OFF before kernel source, we can make boot partition a little bigger...
my boot 128kb shorted

I have no warranty because I bought it second hand so I'm going to throw 250 euros...
The only solution is to wait S-off
I would love to be beta testers of this!
I have the same problem
But it´s strange because yesterday i unrooted my Legend with vodafone UK.
And install the OTA with no issue.
I run official Froyo with no root.
Now i make a question, can i do root again?

When NAND chip leavs production line it already has several bad cells but we don't know where untill we try to use them (read/write). Some of you are so fortunate to have one of those few just on the portion where boot partition resides...

Sorry , you wont be able to install custom roms without unlocking the bootloader .
I dont think you can install custom roms directly through fastboot,you will need a custom recovery(like CWM) which again needs bootloader to be unlocked.
Rooting does not really affect your SIM, and if you are scared it wil damage your SIM you can just keep it out during rooting.
Rooting is really, really worth it.

Hello,
I own an incredible s since two years and i have changed the rom several times but yesterday i wanted to try a new one and after doing everything as usual, when the telephone rebooted, i only got the first screen with the HTC logo and then another screen with the rom's logo but nothing more. It stucks. I let it load for more than an hour and nothing. Can someone please help me?
And i'm srry for the bad english.
If you have unlock bootloader or not you have to enter this command on cmd while your device on fastboot mode. Enter this fastboot flash boot boot.img then wipe all the data / cache and you done. Hope it works. Some rom need s-off and unlock bootloader but some don't

Its hard for me to explain. I can't speak english very well. Power off your phone after that take off the battery and then plug in back then preas volume down and power on key at the same time. Now you at the bootloader. Check it if it locked or unlocked.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice please.
I bought my son a new carrier unlocked HTC Sensation XL. It came with Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). For the first week it worked perfectly. A message popped up saying there was an update and did he want to install it. He left it on all night with Wi-Fi enabled. Next morning it said update successfully completed and to restart the phone (which he did).
The first most obvious thing he noticed was the interface had changed. I checked the settings and found it had updated to ICS 4.0.3. This is when the problems started. The phone began to restart over and over.
In desperation we tried removing the battery and doing a factory reset. It made no difference. Once the phone was on for about 20 seconds it would restart and not stop until we turned off the phone or the battery went dead.
We even tried the hard reset as suggested by HTC support but no change.
Any suggestions as to how we might fix this?
Is there any way we can get the phone to reset back to 2.3.5 or do we have to send it back to where we bought it from?
cheers
You can download suitable gb and ics roo and flash first back to gb and then to ics:

Would require rooting the phone and installing recovery? The phone is still under warranty but as it was bought online I was hoping not to have to send it back. At the moment it is still stock and I'd prefer not to to do anything that will void warranty.

Well first of all you need to know what your cid is and download right ruu/stock rom.
Then just plug your phone in to computer when fully rebooted(usb-debug on) and run downloaded gingerbread exe.

If you have debugging enabled just get adb for your computer, open command line, cd to the directory of adb the execute 'abd getvar cid' and get your cid, then go online and find the ruu that suits your cid and phone, the run it on windows and just follow the prompts!
And done!

I think the process is: unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash ROM, done. ROM should have root access by default.
That's if you don't mind leaving stock stock.

Make sure you are flashing a 'super user' like software from cmd before you flash a new Rom, and I suggest having clock work mod recovery flashed, I currently have the touch one, but I think I prefer the classic. Some new roms are buggy with the touch

I unlocked and rooted my regular Sprint 32GB M7 and it went really smoothly - I used the All-In-One program with the Sprint version and there is a special Sprint SuperSU version that needs to be used for Sprint. I paid $200. for this phone - don't see any need for developer edition of phone.
---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------
Also I used the TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) for my recovery and it works really smooth. Phone shows S-On - not sure what the difference would be if S-Off was showing.
