[Wildfire Android Development] dx.varun:
Hello guys,

Here is a simple to implement guide (for noobs) as i was not able to find a simple and easy guide all over....

Requisites : adb installed (google for more instructions on installation)

"This procedure requires you to have S-OFF on your Wildfire"

The guide is for Only 2.2.1 (official) .. I have personally tested it..

Step 1:

Rooting 2.2.1 ... Oh yeah its available... dont worry about downgrading or bla bla bla.. Simply Download SuperOne click root (attached below) ..

.... Connect the phone to Pc in Debugging mode (+ select charge only)

......Open up"SuperOneClickv1.7"

........Click Shell root 1st .. You will not permanent root.. Here you will get Temp. root (gud) ...

...........Now click root... And now you will get full root acess aka permanent root... (yeah its that simple)

Note: test root by checking busybox or super user ... And repeat above steps if rooting is not sucessfull ... surely you will get root in one or two cycles...

Step 2:

Now we have rooted Wildfire... We need our custom Recovey ... Which is very important to install custom roms...

( installing rom manager is an alternate to this step BUT its does gives problems while installing Recovery..)

We need Flash_image (attached below) & "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-buzz" (attached below) ... recovery-clockworkmod is 2.5 version.. Google for 3.0 version (if u need most updated) ... But 2.5 version works as well..

.... To use copy flash_image and recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-buzzto the root of your sdcard..(unzipped image files ONLY)

To flash: via adb

Now your $ will change to #

(below # are not to be written Only code is to be written)

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img

# reboot recovery

Voila... Your are rebooted Via RECOVERY

Now you have Root acess & Recovery Installed...

Its time to play now...
