OMG i was totally considering Alpharev X and im pretty anxious for the release date. But to be honest, after reading all the comment, this **** seems so complicated. First S-OFF, then somebody's talking about some damn recovery mode, but after that, there's no explanation on how to put in CM7. Or wait, maybe there is, but you guys aren't making it easier by twisting the whole thing.

My words are maybe to harsh, dunno. But i hope that you'll understand some part of my critics.

[Wildfire General] wolfway:
if you feel it is to complicated, perhaps you should not consider flashing a custom rom yet. once you root, you accept the risks and should at least know a tiny bit of information behind the proces imho.

ps, if you look around, it is really not that hard to do, there are guides taking you through the process on this forum.
[Wildfire General] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
@wolfway : Yeah but as zagorje said , it is still very complicated , seriously , i'm watching the xda forum for a while , and are too many tutorial , some say a thing , some say another ... Rom , kernell , flash , wipe , swipe , recovery , some costum recovery bios .... i don't know , and talking about stepts ..... First i thought i know how to root and instal a costum rom , but now , i reallized i know nothing , and i didn't found any step by step tutorial , like really step by step .....

Anyway , on topic . I didn't thought Alpharev will eventualy finish the root , i thought they will give up. :D It seems i was wrong , and I am very happy i was.

You did a really good job Alpharev X Team :)
[Wildfire General] Rimidal:
In fact everything is easy as a pie:

1.Your main goal is the ability to flash custom ROMs, 'cause they can give you root or anything else you expect from custom ROM.

2.You cannot flash custom ROM without flashing Custom Recovery

3.Custom Recovery can be flashed in two ways:

3.1 Older HBOOT - Unrevoked tool automatically flashes custom recovery. It Doesn't need S-OFF. It bypasses it.

3.2 Newer HBOOT - Manually flash custom recovery image using Fastboot. It NEEDS S-OFF to flash Custom Recovery.

This is where alpharevx comes.

This tool reflashes your newer hboot with their modified hboot.

Their modified hboot is S-OFFed.

After that you can flash custom recovery.

And using custom recovery you can flash any custom ROM for your device.

And here you go.

Hope this makes things more clear.
[Wildfire General] :
LOL....

There is a complete guide to do what after alpharevX S-OFF. Check it here...

attn1's GUIDE : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680

it clearly tells u how to flash custom recovery and how to root.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And if u r unfamiliar with the fastboot commands and feel that difficult, then do this..

1) S-OFF METHOD: Use alpharevX to make ur phone S-OFF (after alpharevX is released). Donot worry about the process again. It will be simple and well explained.

2) ROOT METHOD: Use super one click root method to root that particular stock rom (only needed if u want to use that stock rom). Here it gives permaroot (since no nand protection). Get it here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

3) FLASH THE CUSTOM RECOVERY: first format ur memory card to fat32. Then get the custom recovery "PC49IMG.ZIP" from here (just get the attached file from there, not the process).. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 . Put that file in the root of memory card. Then reboot to hboot menu. It asks u to install, go through it and that's all. Once done then u can install custom roms.

ALL U NEED TO REMEMBER IS DONOT DOWNGRADE WITH AN RUU

Hope it is clear....:D:D:D

Still had doubts. Don't worry, there will be atleast a thread here (wildfire section) explaining it after ALPHAREVX was released.
[Wildfire General] IvanDeadWolf:
from Twitter:
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
You can even just flash it with fastboot. Just reboot your phone in the bootloader itself, select fastboot, connect it to the pc and type (using fastboot.exe in stead of adb.exe):

fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

And you are done.

For the rest: you can see the recovery as a little OS. It is capable of writing in all the partions of the phone without problems with read/write access. It is this piece of software that reads the offical update.zip, extracs it and makes sure that every change that should be made, can indeed be made.

The recovery is already there on your phone, but the version of htc will allow only updates that are signed by htc with a key we do not know, and thus we can not force that recovery to apply a custom (not signed) rom.

That is the reason why we need a custom recovery: only this one does allow to flash updates.zip that are not signed by htc. Those updates can a whole rom (containing one or more partitions of your "new" os), but it can also just contain some simple files that you want to add in the protected system folders (then the recovery reads an update script to see what he has to do).

But to flash a custom recovery, the security has to be s-off. So you can see why we first set the device s-off and than flash a custom ROM. With that custom ROM you can "install" superuser (the update.zip will contain only a few files that have to be placed in the protected system-folder) so you can give root access to applications that ask for it, or you install a whole new ROM by flashing new partitions.

It is not really complicated, but I admit that information on this forum is sometimes strongly fragmentated. But as said here somewhere: wathever you do, it is a risk. Make sure that you at least partially understand what and why you have to do such things before starting doing it. You can find a lot of information by google :-)

Finaly: there will appear some tutorials that say step by step what you have to do, do not worry. But in my opinion, most tutorials doesn't say why every step has to be done, which I think is sometimes unsatisfying. But again: google is your friend.

[Wildfire General] lupoalberto12:
Ok, it's all clear but I have a question.

How does it work with the kernel?

When I flash a rom, which kernel does it use?

The "stock kernel" or an own kernel?

I would like to use a better kernel that it allow me to "overclock" the litle ARM.

Thank you.

Bye!

! :) !

Ps.: maybe in the next day it will start the beta public "Windows-version" test.

I hope that they accept my apply :-D .

I missed the beta "Linux-version" test.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Depends. The ROMs which are more geared towards stability may not allow overclocks, but, almost all ROMs there allow it. Normally, info about the kernel used is listed in the thread itself.
[Wildfire General] lupoalberto12:
Mmm, ok, it's easy.

I would try the CM7, so I think that I have to flash only the rom.

If I want to use a different kernel of the rom, which is it the order?

Recovery -> kernel -> rom, right?

Thank you.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
CM7 supports overclocking by default. But, in any case, if you want to flash a kernel, flash the ROM first, followed by the kernel.
[Wildfire General] lupoalberto12:
@3xeno

yes, I knew that CM7 supports the overclock but I suppose that the kernel it isn't optimized for the Wildfire...

...or not?

Thank you.

Now we have to only wait :-D .

Bye!

[Wildfire General] mtnhan1996:
Oh no, I'm using a window computer, and they haven't had a version for window yet :((
[Wildfire General] hoho20022222:

[Wildfire General] IvanDeadWolf:
Linux it is simple!:p

Waiting for any release...
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Its completely optimized for the Wildfire. Jacob did a great job initially, and arco has improved upon it.

Anyway, this is getting Off topic. PM me, and we can continue this conversation there. :)
[Wildfire General] lupoalberto12:

Working out some kinks in the Windows version for public beta. Did we mention Windows sucks as a development platform?

guys just wondering..if i install Ubuntu on a VM, will it still work as good?

honestly with VM's, any operating system they release i'll go with it :)
[Wildfire General] hoho20022222:
I think u should boot the OS in host :(

cos the speed in VM is slow ><
[Wildfire General] poeken:
Yes it will. :-)
[Wildfire General] fellaj:
why not just use Ubuntu live? If your downloading the desktop version anyway, just burn it to a cd (or usb stick), boot and 'try Ubuntu' :-)
[Wildfire General] C--Mon:
Or install it with "Wubi" into your existing Windows ;-)
[Wildfire General] BarclayTech:
Cmon guys your drifting a little bit off topic. this information can be found on google.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Time for some assuming!

Since they said they're "working out the kinks" I'm thinking it'll be coming next week-ish?

Even if it doesn't I have faith in the AlphaRev team, that they're trying their best :)
[Wildfire General] rajiv_karai:
waiting waiting and waiting

just waiting patiently.. i know they doing a great job which only they have achieved till now.. no one else have achieved this task of S-OFFing the wildfire.. only wish hat they upload the linux version atleast..
[Wildfire General] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Well thanks a lot . It is really usefull. And i hope it will be for others too.

Again thanks.

Now it is clear as cristal. :D
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
Yes linux version would bee nice since everything went smooth....
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
by the way, what means "kinks", dont understand that word???

google translate doesnt help with this word
[Wildfire General] cspiliakos:
@luxandroid: Here kinks is used instead of quirks. Use quirks in google translate and you'll get the meaning.
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
oh...thanks! seams they are on real end of a job
[Wildfire General] .Harshit:
Wow, Excellent work guys . After ages i came around to check wildfire forum and to find we finally would have root too our phones, its amazing.

Thanks and Kudos to your work Alpharev Team.

Love to hear about your Eureka Moment.

Regards
[Wildfire General] IvanDeadWolf:
I have translated "kinks" as "problems" or "difficulties". :D
[Wildfire General] wildjohn:
It seems that time is near... cant wait
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
On what basics...I couldn't find that but it shore sounds odd that they are "playing with words"...according to google translate for "quirks" :s
[Wildfire General] IvanDeadWolf:
In Russian sense about the such.
[Wildfire General] :
AlphaRev team - thank you for the Linux version. I missed the closed beta (lucky me :-( ), but at least I know I will not need to mess around with Windows when the AlphaRev X gets released.
[Wildfire General] louiscypherbr:
me too... :)
[Wildfire General] supernaicol:
The wait....

oh boy, this waiting il literally killing me...

I keep visiting the alpharev page twice a day hoping to be the first to have the open beta.

COME ON.... PLEASE RELEASE :)
[Wildfire General] ccdreadcc:
if they start charging for the thing, LOLED xD
[Wildfire General] :
I wouldn't check the page so often. The AlphaRev team might not be so happy about an unintended DDoS from hundreds of people wanting to S-OFF their phones. :-)
[Wildfire General] poeken:
I don't understand why they don't release the linux version, which has been proved working, before the windows version.
[Wildfire General] :
Maybe they don't want anyone to feel treated as second-class citizens. That would explain the wait for other devices. Everyone gets it at the same time, so that would prevent many arguments, if not even flamewars.
[Wildfire General] Marurban:
I think this is not an argument. It's as if you were told that the game will not be released because there is no version for all systems.
[Wildfire General] :
nvm ..........

public open beta started.
[Wildfire General] DrFry:
AlphaRev X public open beta has started!

Guess we need to find a different way :[
[Wildfire General] zagorje:
I hate my life.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Whoa, chill, remember one step at a time.

Wait for the devs to see this and hopefully find a way.
[Wildfire General] zagorje:
I know, i know. But it's just that i waited for this a loooong time.. Somehow i knew that something would F-UP.

Good thing my GF is willing to comfort me (Y)

But i'll stay awake and try to investigate, hopefully someone will find a solution, if not, im buying a new phone.
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
reboot and try one more time,hope will help

I'll post results.
[Wildfire General] zagorje:
So, we're kinda stuck in the same "camac" haha. I have never rooted actually, so it's pretty new and scary for me, but i hope that you'll work out a solution for your problem :)

EDIT: I changed the USB slot just 4 fun and now it seems to be stuck at "acquiring root method 1", but it doesn't say that connec. with the phone is interrupted.. Hmm interesting
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
I GOT IT!

Just copy this to the root of your SD card and go into HBOOT and press yes at updating, then delete the file and you're done!

After that apply this zip in clockwork http://bit.ly/su2361ef

Powering on phone after applying...
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
copy what? clockwork? in .zip

maybe problems with your USB drivers,try reinstall android usb drivers

I forgot to place it in my post XD
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
downloaded allready nothing happend,have you renamed it to update.zip?
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Actualy, no o.O

And you shouldn't afaik, since if you look carefully at the beggining of the HBOOT it searches for that .zip file.

Oh yes...did you extract the img file from the zip?
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
no,whole zip copyed,can you please check is your sd FAT or FAT32
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
It's FAT32
[Wildfire General] :
Eventually I'll get around to AlphaReving and getting S-Off ;) I know on my HTC Hero I used/use it quite often when things get screwey ;)

That said, my task at hand is getting my "project/unactivated/who cares" AllTel Wildfire/Bee to actually BOOT a custom ROM...and I got flash happy and didn't nand the stock ROM :eek: This is the first Android phone I have had any trouble with. I actually managed to get it rooted which was a chore on this phone, CWM installed, but won't boot past the AllTel screen on any CM ROM after a full wipe and flash, even with a different kernel, and when I flash an RUU, it actually boots to the lockscreen but won't unlock *sigh*

At any rate, glad to see S-OFF finally on the Wildfire. Great job AlphaRev team!
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
my is FAT only thats the problem,thanks
[Wildfire General] kewpiepie:
the above rooting method isnt working for me either. I can see it searching for the zip file but it doesnt find it...hmm. :confused:
[Wildfire General] zagorje:
I've FIXED IT!

Just used my laptop with Ubuntu on it :)
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Nice :)

Now go set your phone free! :D
[Wildfire General] kewpiepie:
ahhh. Its been so long since I've had to do this that I forget all about fastboot. :D Have just used fastboot to install clockworkmod recovery and will now flash the file you provided and see if it roots... :p
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Good luck!
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
format your SD card to FAT 32,worked for mee
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
NOTE: you do not need to get root when you install recovery IF YOU ARE FLASHING ALLREADY ROOTED CUSTOM ROM :)

Serial number?

What serial number should i put in the beta??where could i find it??sorry im just a newbie here!hehehe!:):)
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:
Help?

Some Questions to those who know.

I'm currently on HBOOT 0.80.XX having Rooted Hybrid Rom V6.

1. Do I need to update to HBOOT 1.00X to be able to use Alpharev X - if not - which option should I choose in dropdown menu on Alpharev X Beta page..? As it only shows two options - both being 1.00X

2. Do I need to Re-Root after alpharev X - or will my previous root stay (if I can use it without updating to HBOOT 1.00X)

3. Again - Do I need to Re-Flash Rom after alpharev X - or will my previous rom stay (if I can use it without updating to HBOOT 1.00X) *prays*

4. Can I use a (Fastboot) Clockworkmod that still uses Amend - rather than edify? Or is there one that can support both? As I quite dislike edify.

5. Will my old Clockworkmod be overwritten? (2.5.0.7)
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
when you power on the phone in setings/about phone you will find your serial

i already did that but it still cant find my device!=((

what do you think is the problem??

i've looked in the device manager> other devices> ADB

[Wildfire General] PoohTech:
i already tried it!but still it doesnt work!=((

what things should i need to S-Off my wildfire??where should i start??can you please give a step by step procedure?
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
just power on the phone,connect via usb/charge only/debugging mode enabled than run alpharev you downloaded

if doesnt work try linux
[Wildfire General] gogusteliade:
for me worked with htc sync drivers
[Wildfire General] NameMaciek:
I had the same problem, but finally I've S-OFF on by Wildfire. So possible two solutions below:

*** First ***

1. Uninstall everything related to the HTC or Android (USB Drivers, ADB driver, HTC Sync, etc.).

2. Re-boot your PC.

3. Start from the beginning

*** Second *** recommended ***

1. Use Linux

2. Use Linux version of AlphaRev-X

3. Use Linux version of fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery
