Hi,
I was wondering if you had to be rooted to install a custom rom on my phone. Thanks
Rooted no. S-off or unlocked by HTCdev yes.
Once your either one of the above, you need to flash a custom recovery, then you can install roms and root.
my phone was originally on vodafone but today i switched to 3 i was wondering if i flash the 3 ruu to my phone will it come with all the correct settings and 3 boot logo etc? Thanks

I've got to sell my Sensation XE. I've done S-OFF, perm root, 4ext recovery, firmware update to install ICS by Android Revolution HD. Now I would like to delete perm root and install a stock rom, so the person that buy my phone can do OTA update without provlems. How can I achieve this? Thank you

Download Ruu on your computer , connect your phone to usb ,run RUU.
stock recovery image file needed
Hi, needing a bit of help here to restore stock recovery on my Sensation so I can catch OTA ICS update from Three uk. Phone is rooted with revolutionary custom recovery. I need a copy of image file for my software version: 1.45.771.5 so I can use Android Recovery Manager.
All help greatly appreciated!!!!
Any stock recovery should do the job, it doesn't matter whether it's from a 3 ROM or not.
Can your not stick the OTA .zip on your SD card and flash it via the custom recovery, though? I've done that via CWM on a couple of other phones.
Thanks for the reply Rusty, unfortunately had no luck using both methods you suggest, must be doing something wrong
Since my AT&T ICS 4.04(final update) Atrix 2 won't pass beyond the M logo (have been flashed like ten times), I need someones help.
I can't downgrade to GB because would brick the phone forever or upgrade to a newer version. Or flash a custom ROM because the phone is not rooted and doesn't have any custom recovery tool installed.
So, I was thinking, maybe if I could flash an already rooted system and a custom recovery using RSDLite, could boot into the custom recovery, install a custom ROM and see if I can fix my phone.
Or maybe flash(RSDLite) a backup(or only the files need for this purpose) made by any user of the forum.
Is that possible? Please help.

It would be better to ask all the questions in one thread itself, rather than making new ones each time for a newer question.
RSDLite can't flash files which aren't signed by Motorola, hence no pre-rooted or custom recovery installed ROM can be flashed this way, since they won't have Motorola signatures.
Hi!
Been using ROMs and root for a while on my S3, but since I lost it Im back to an old htc wildfire s. Ive installed a custom ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735775&nocache=1), but it is unrooted. Standard rooting methods do not seem to work, how would one go about rooting a custom ROM?
Hola, if you have a custom rom installed, i guess you have unlocked it. Maybe you dont have superuser installed, i guess?
What root method did you use?
And you can try to flash the superuser binary (http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
Hope it will it, reply back if you need more help
Thanks, flashing superuser worked
Repurposing this thread rather than making a new one. I installed two different ROMs that support locked bootloader on my cousin's C2104 (not unlockable) but they both hang on the boot animation. I left them for 10+ minutes but it never went to the setup screen. I flashed using CWM 6.0.5.0 and the ROMs installed successfully. Any idea why this is happening?
I've tried two different 4.2.2 custom roms that support locked bootloader, they install successfully both both get stuck at boot animation. i followed the instructions as described by each rom, not sure what to do next?

There is NO 4.4.4. ROM for locked bootloader.
If you want to have ROM for locked bootloader it can only be based on stock fw. Since all KK ROMs are based on CM or AOSP, you need to unlock the bootloader.
Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.
