First you should root your phone, and then to install xrecovery. And if you want you can install a custom rom. Read the stickies for that.

Did you root this yourself or just got it from google?
Cause I really don't want to screw up my phone by flashing a faulty rom that someone just randomly posted on the internet.
Or isn't it possible to brick a phone just by flashing a faulty rom?
No, I havent rooted it. I got it from this forum. If you search you may find the actual thread. Maybe Blayo......cant be sure. I havent flashed it yet.

seriously? I've tried searching before posting, quite a lot actually never found a threat, neither do I now :s
But if it's from xda it'll be safe I guess
search for arzme in members list and then all posts by him and you may find the thread and confirm its validity yourself.
i have downgraded my legend because i wanted to root.
But i think that i dont want it anymore.Can i just start this and then i have 2.05 again.
for this i dont need root right? because i only have downgraded.
I've just tried it, when I booted it for the first time it said something in chinees or tawanese I don't know. It also doesn't have dutch
Anyone who knows a rooted 2.05 rom which has dutch?
thx in advance
Why you not trying the "Almost Stock Rom 2.03" ?

And you managed to post your first thread in the most inapproriate section you could possibly find ... this section is about ACCESSORIES while your (badly formatted and colored) post should be in the Q&A section.

OK, good to know its your 1st post, BUT
you managed to post it with the worst font i have ever seen, and its seems you r eye's failed to spot HERE. Upgrading isn't an accessory. This isa question for here
hope you now understand what you did wrong in posting this (in this section)
and good luck
There are a lot of tutorial here, just take a look in Android Development and enjoy yourself.
I wish you had used a better font color.
Anyways , take a look at this for all noob questions about rooting/custom ROMS etc etc

Rom is a custom firmware for your phone...
Like the OS is for a pc,custom firmwares are like OS for a phone...
and in order to install a custom rom you need to root a phone and install recovery...
so you must start off with rooting...
I would suggest you to search youtube for detailed video instructions
