Hi all
I've posted in the forums once or twice and the help and comments I've had back have proved more than useful.
I've also looked, as you do, at other postings and again, these have been useful.
Now we come to rooting.
I've read the main thread, and totally accept that this could go drastically wrong, and I'll end up with a nice but albeit useless paperweight, but I'm getting more and more tempted to root my phone.
Why ? The primary reason is that I have this phone until at least June next year and want jellybean ideally but if not ICS.
So, what's stopping me. A number of things;
What's the likelihood of this going wrong and me having a contract but no phone until June ?
Can I backpeddle and put it back to as it was ?
HTC didn't give us ICS due to alleged space and partition sizes on the phone meant it wouldn't fit. Is this still the case ?
Which ROM is the most stable as I'd like everything to work as it does now, only in a different Android version ?
ICS or JellyBean ?
Obviously there's no OTA updates, but I guess that means flashing each time an update comes out ?
I'm basically looking for as close to Android as I can get ah la nexus, so no sense etc. So any recommendations ?
Really sorry for the long winded post and all the questions, but hopefully someone can assist.
Thanks in advance
Bryan
