Follow closely the intrictions (updated).

For example, for clockworkmod, power off the device.

Then, volume key down + power on. Plug the useb cabel, choose recovery and

run the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

It should install clockworkmod without problem and then it will reboot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Theonew:
When it says waiting for fastboot, it means it's waiting for your device to enter fastboot mode. When you ran the CMD commands and the signature check failed, did you have S-OFF?

I have a mac,

Do you think it's a good idea to use virtualbox with windows to try and root my wildfire, and will it work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] x1123:
Just suggestion : Virtual Machine will not capable to access the "real port". Communication between PC and i.e Fastbbot and Hboot will face a lot of problem on virtual machine since this is considering low level communication. I have tried many times by linux box as host and windows box as guess. Never work properly. Virtual Machine accessed the port via additional layer of software, unless virtualization technology is in the good level today. Probably I dont know. I used virtualbox 4.0.0.8 from oracle, USB Port access is really limited and not native USB. smart phone is not card reader, its more complicated.

but this is free world ... just try and let us know

Hello, I have some problems. I got soff, then I got root, but then whenever I tried to get into recovery, all I got was the phone with the triangle over it, and no menu or any way to do anything. So I tried using the android flasher linked back on page 7, but I apparently had the wrong recovery.img, so whenever I try to get into recovery now, it just reboots the phone. Can anyone point me to the right recovery.img for an Aria?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] x1123:
You have s-off and rooted. Go to market, download ROM Manager (free or paid), install clockwork recovery from there and start from the new installed recovery. ROM Manager will detect your phone model automatically
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] musgrat:
I had already done that actually. When I go into ROM manager, it says I have the latest 2.5.0.7 I believe it is from memory, and even if I tell it to reinstall it then boot into recovery, I never get into recovery. From the boot menu, whenever rom manager or myself manually tries to go into recovery, the phone reboots. The wierd thing is that when it reboots after failing to enter recovery, it has no service, I have to reboot it again to get a signal. Also, when rom manager tells it to go into recovery, it reboots in an endless cycle until I take the battery out. So I'm not really sure what the problem is, I wish I could flash another version of clockwork, but rom manager says it can't find those files when I try.

1.I copied the "PC49IMG.zip" in my SDcard(FAT32) and rebooted into Hboot.

2.I applied the .zip successfully and rebooted my device.

3.I copied the "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" and

deleted

the "PC49IMG.zip".

4.I rebooted into Hboot, scrolled down to "recovery" and entered the clockworkmod recovery.

5.Now, I'm scrolling down to "Install zip from SDcard" and select it, BUT the logo from "Rom Manager" appears and stays there, on my screen!!! This happens in every selection I make! I can reboot my phone only if I pull out the battery.

This thing is driving me crazy! Please, some help!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] musgrat:
Hello, well my problem is still here. Basically, I just need the correct version of clockwork for an Aria. I believe I might have flashed the clockwork for another phone, so rom manager says that I have the correct 2.5.0.7, but whenever I try to enter recovery, the phone crashes and reboots, same thing if I try to make rom manager reinstall clockwork.

To avoid any mistake pls check set phone into normal operations connect to linux box on usb port and check with : lsusb > Htc id product and vendor will be seen there, check also at fastboot and hboot. write down copy to clipboard the id Product and set your driver.

You could use android flasher since you're having problems with fastboot. You can get android flasher from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k3n85:
So I am running OSX with VirtualBox VM so have to keep switching the USB over, but finally got the HTC Incredible 2 to show up. Once I got that set and go AlphaRevX up and running and found the device (don't forget to turn developer USB setting on) - I got success throughout the board, but think it skipped installing clockwork. I did see the bootloader come up once, and rebooted fine.

My issue is now I'm on the step I need to root:

Unplug USB

Turn the device off

Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power

Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.

However, when I do this, holding the vol button and pressing power, it just boots up as normal. no boot screen. Is there something I missed?

If I try to run the AlphaRevX utility again, I get the following:

So it looks like it took, any suggestions on the next step? There is only 3 buttons on the phone so not much else I can see that I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: Turns out i needed to take the battery out to truely power off the device. Once I did this, then held down volume and hit power, I got the Fastboot screen and finished up the rooting.

Before flashing the recovery image, I also had to select Fastboot on the HBOOT menu to have it recognized on my Ubuntu VM. After that I got the following:

ken@ken-VirtualBox:~$ sudo ./fastboot flash recovery cwm-vivow-4.0.0.4-recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (5022 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

Anything else needed here?

Not much will happen during the clockwork install. You'll need to download the Super User stuff and get that installed for Clockwork to do very much. Get that installed then you can use Rom Manager to make a backup of your current setup before you start tinkering around with any ROMs

Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rudyutz:
How did you install super user? And in another thread I saw that you needed to clear the data for super user, and then it would stop force closing?

Well, it appears I can clear data and reboot the phone. The first application I run will allow SuperUser to work. However, after that it will force close on any other program. This means I can currently only have root for one app at a time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rudyutz:
I tried that. Did you put the SU file in any specific folder? Or did you use the patch in another thread. Exactly where did you put it. Also, do you have to install it first with Astro?

I flashed back to the original backup I had made BEFORE root (after S-OFF) and I am attempting to re-download 2.3

I still got the same screen/error after reverting to backup. I am now trying to revert to factory settings and install 2.3. Hopefully this works.

Its beign worked on

make sure you have fastboot enabled in power settings.

So if your battery dies, you can still plug it in and charge, it. never switch off your phone completely

Keep hold of power button and press hibernate on custom rom's or power off if you dont have hibernate.

with fastboot enabled when your phone dies it will hibernate. allowing you to still charge it
