Downgraded Legend .. now what ?

I downgraded my legend to 2.1 , 1.3.X build version. I would I like to go the 2.2 version - but it should be rooted, how do i do so ?
-e-
My HBOOT is on 1.0 , how do i go to 0.43 ?

any help guys ?

DAMN. Need some reply guys ! Here il put it once again nicely for you:
I just downgraded my legend from 2.2 froyo to 2.1 , 1.3X build. I want to root it but my HBOOT version is 1.00. Will this be a problem because i think i require 0.43? If so , how do i proceed ?
Also I would like to go to Froyo again. Therefore which ROM is the original FROYO ROM for Legend which is on root and also provides ROOT ?
Also i would like to know if we are on ROOT , can we change ROMS on the fly ? Like , when and where we want without the need for a PC ?

well I have no experience with your phone model at all, but couldn't you just try and download one of the root apps from the market? I used one click lag fix on my galaxy s, but I don't know if it would work with your model.
As for roms, I use rom manager and that allows me to flash to new roms whenever I want without the need of a computer.

Which is the best ROM Manager that I must install ? And also , what is the Clockwork Recovery Mod ? How is it used ???

Rom manager is an app in the market. But, you must be rooted and more importantly, make sure that your phone is compatible with everything. Clockwork is a modified recovery menu that comes with rom manager. It has a lot more options than the stock recovery menu. Rom manager and clockwork are very helpful in creating backups in case you cant boot up or something but can still access the recovery menu.
Make sure you know how to fix your phone if you ended up bricking it, that the rom you look at is compatible with your current setup, etc...
But like I said, I know nothing about your phone at all so it could work differently. Read up on everything you can in the Forums for it.

[Q] Couple of questions regarding updates and rooting

Hi,
Im new with Android and have a couple of questions :
I have flashed my ZTE Light with a unofficial Android 2.2 (from official 2.1) and that works grate, but what does this really mean in the future? Will I be able to update to the official 2.2 when its released? Is there any drawbacks comparing to a official firmware?
The internal memory is getting full fast even when using SDMove so I am thinking of rooting the device and by that be able to use applications like Move2SD, but what will rooting mean? Will I still be able to remove the rooting and will I still be able to update the phone to a official firmware? What is the risks?
I have seen that there is alot of talk about rooms when dealing with rooting? Is the room the software that will root my device? And why is there so many diffrent rooms to use?
BestRegards

If your rooted running the 2.2 ROM now, why go back to what is "officially" released? You are already ahead of the game.

As I said, Im new to Android so I do not really know that much about it yet.
I have not rooted the device yet but I have flashed with the following files : [Link removed]
android_2.2_for_zte_light-read_1st.rar - Flashprogram
V9_GENERICV1.0.0B03.rar - Files to flash on to the device
Sales_MultiDL_MSM7227_patched.zip - somekind of patch
1. I Supose that the official 2.2 firmware will be more adapted to my device then this flash is? Or will there be no point in going with the official when having this flash in place? Could there by any problems with future updates(ex 2.3) when using this custom firmware?
I have a guid on how to root the device based on the leaked 2.2 V9_GENERICV1.0.0B03 (Android 2.2) rom.
2. Is this a good idéa or is there any problems with this? If this does not work as needed is it possible to go back to an unrooted device? And if so how? Will I have to re-flash the device(re-install everything)?
3. I supose that a rom is the rooting software and there could be many flavour of a rooting software(rom)
Would be grate If your could answer my questions
BestRegards

First of all i would like to clear ur misunserstanding u have.. a ROM is not a software used for rooting.. indeed ROM is the OS for your phone.. there are many custom roms available.. u can choose them according to ur need.. and always make sure that u r flashing a rom which is suitable for ur phone..
Rooting is nothing but giving kind of administrative access to u.. so u can delete the protected contents or boltwares from ur phone.. for u to flash any new roms, u should be rooted..

The ROM im using us a custom ROM, the manufacture(ZTE) have not yet released a Android 2.2 ROM for my device yet, this is why I have to use a custom ROM.
Accoring to the author of the guid I followed to flash the custom Android 2.2 ROM to my device, the ROM is not rooted. This seems to be correct because programs that are supose to move apps from the device internal memory to the SD card is not working.
To get this working a parmanent rooting needs to be done according to the author.
If this parmanent rooting is dones I supose that I will be able to use apps that moves other apps to the SD card.
So If I decide to root my device and then turn back again I should simple be able to re-flash the device with the custom Android 2.2 ROM that I used before? Is This correct?
And If the manufacture releases a orginal Anroid 2.2 ROM I will also be able to flash this in to the device, this will however not be possible to root if the manufacture is not releasing the source.
Am I correct?
BestRegards

Thanks I should have searched first >.< Btw after I install some other firmware and root my phone, would I be able to update it via Kies ?
Thanks for the answer again

No buddy, once you root Kies will be useless. You may be able to find the most up-to-date rom and root it.
If you go for a custom rom usually developers update it to the latest firmware version.
Just be careful on what your doing to your phone. Read the tutorial 3-4 times before starting the process and make sure you have everything.
Also.. make sure you check task manager and end task all KIES apps. (KiesAgentTray KiesPLR etc)

No need to PM any DEv, I guess they are too busy on the development.
You can write any question here and many experience user can answer your inquiry.
You can root your device and stick to stock ROM and remove any programs that you didn't want to use.
Use Titanium back-up from the market to erase them.

hipstreet 7DTB25 custom rom

Hi everyone ,
I have a hipstreet 7DTB25 i manage to root it using kingo root (1 clic tool) and to remove the kingo super user to replace it by SuperSU. But now im facing a problem i want to install a custom rom but even after searching google ,xda and cyanogen website im still mystified. I got a couple question :
1) Is there a compatible rom with my device ? If yes, how can you tell?
i've looked to CM 11.0 M7 it is build on android 4.4.2 which my device runs on now (btw i dont trust it to be a clean install since there was a lolipop sticker covered by a kit kat one on the box ) ive search about it but it dont say nothing on my device, i try to look at cyanogenmod site but i've found nothing. And since i have really slow download speed and dont want to break my hardware for nothing i want to get informed before doing anything
2)Did using cwr (clockwork recovery) is correct to flash something on my device (if i could find anything to flash)
i've install it once was running great and making reboot in recovery so i suppose the answer to be yes but i dont really know ,the only weird thing i noticed was that i cannot back up anything
3)How can you tell if a website that offer custom rom are reliable? (Except xda, i know that one :laugh: )
4)If im not able at all to flash a custom rom is there a possibility of changing a stock rom to another?
Thanks

Hi, I bricked mine.. are you able to tell me where to get the ROM and twrp? Thanks.
