Im sure the phone will be fine out of the box for the average user..a custom Rom / kernel will bring out the true potential of the phone..overclocking capabilities fat trimmed and total customisable ..as well as tethering etc..so no you don't have to ..but it does unleash the phones full capabilities
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Should also work with Revolutionary!

Okay, it took me some trying and stuff but I finally found a way!

Okay, this is going to be simple step-by-step :)

First: Copy this to the root of your SD card: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790

Second: Go into HBOOT and click yes when it asks you to update (note: Please make sure your SD card is FAT32 and not FAT, it must be FAT32 for this step to work.)

Third: Remove the img file from your SD card and add this file: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

Fourth: Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!

Fifth: Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that) (Protip: Navigate in the recovery with the trackpad, not the power button!)

Sixth: Click choose zip from sdcard

Seventh Locate your zip and let it update.

AND YOU'RE DONE!

Have fun being free!

If you're having problems with the HBOOT not detecting the .zip update, please check if you SD card is FAT32.

"Second: Go into HBOOT and click yes when it asks you to update"

i go into hboot bt it doesn't ask me to update!!!
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Make sure you SD card is FAT32
[Wildfire Android Development] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Link doesn't work , fix it please.
[Wildfire Android Development] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Same here.
[Wildfire Android Development] louiscypherbr:
Mine updated recovery to clockworkmod, but the clockworkmod doesnt work in any options, even reboot or turn off
[Wildfire Android Development] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Copy the zip on the sd card , not just the image that is in it.... Just put the zip on sd and go to hboot.
[Wildfire Android Development] handisetyadi:
The first link doesnt work. Broken link

is this really real? i meant we can root our wildfire froyo once we have done with this guide ?
[Wildfire Android Development] bx19:
For those who are facing the link not working of first step, this is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790

It is nothing but custom recovery packed into PC49IMG.ZIP

yes, this is really real. You can root froyo with this guide.

Ah, thank you, guess the url fuction f-ed me over XD
[Wildfire Android Development] cymox:
Hi, i've succesfuly got the s-off, but when i put the PC49IMG.zip on the sdcard hboot, doesn't find is, so it won't update.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Check if your SD card is FAT32.
[Wildfire Android Development] handisetyadi:
how do we know that our sd card is FAT32? if not how to make it to be FAT32?
[Wildfire Android Development] cymox:
thanks, it was fat. i've formatted it to fat32!
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Yea, FAT seems to just not work with the update :/

And you can check if it's FAT32, by connecting it to the pc, then right clicking on the SD card drive and choosing properties.
[Wildfire Android Development] gogusteliade:
what version of recovery is?

nvm -and can i install only super user and then get from market rom manager and install recovery via it?tx

worked here after i've formatted to fat32...thank for your tutorial :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
3.2.0.0 if I'm not mistaken.
[Wildfire Android Development] scanja500:

Worked a treat, the missing link after all the good work from the alpharev and unrevoked teams
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
I'm glad to see my method is working :)
[Wildfire Android Development] cheekugr8:
how can i check if my phone is rooted or not. i have searched but couldnt get proper way. pl guide.
[Wildfire Android Development] :
Install "Root Checker" from market. It tells you.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
If you followed my guide you should have an app named SuperUser.

If you do that means you're rooted.
[Wildfire Android Development] cheekugr8:
when i search with "root checker " string in market, it doesnt give my any related result.what i get in the results are titanium backup , LCD density for root, BT file transfer, etc, etc.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Here's the Root Checker apk:
[Wildfire Android Development] cheekugr8:
i have copied zip file "PC49IMG" and the also image file on the main route of SD card. after getting into HBOOT i didnt get any msg. i only have four option boot, recovery, etc.

pl guide.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Is your SD card FAT32?
[Wildfire Android Development] cheekugr8:
Yes.its fat32
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Are you 100% sure you're S-OFF?
[Wildfire Android Development] cheekugr8:
No my phone is not S-OFF. I tried to do that with alpharevx but couldnt succeede.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Well, the title of this is Rooting AFTER S-OFF, so you NEED s-off for the .zip to be recognised as an update...
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Shameless bump ._.
[Wildfire Android Development] Deni_NS:

[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Just connect the phone to you computer and delete the .zip file you put on previously.

the PC49IMG.zip
[Wildfire Android Development] Markoleti:
i dont understend part third. im in clockwordmod and whatever I do nothing happens. should I delete the entire folder br1 or just the image of him? and clockworkmod is v3.0.0.6 ....

Hi This might be a stupid question but does s-off Unlock the phone to use with any network.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Not via AlphaRev X. If you get S-OFF by XTC Clip, then yes.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
I don't think so.
[Wildfire Android Development] archcry:
I had it rooted before, and I decided to install the new Hboot this morning after I heard that alpharev was released.

I followed this method to get clockwork mod on it again and flashed the cyanogenmod again.

[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Are you navigating through the screens with the trackpad?

the power button does nothing there.
[Wildfire Android Development] faraaz:
My SD card is FAT32, but the question about wanting to update doesn't come?

I have put the PC49IMG.zip file in the root of the SD card.
[Wildfire Android Development] Markoleti:
yesssssssssss fac* trackpad! thats solution!!! :D tnx man!!!!
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
If i format to FAT32 will i lose critical phone files?
[Wildfire Android Development] :
If u r facing the issue of amend scripting, then u should use clockwork recovery 2.x

Use rom manager. In that select the option flash recovery 2.x which creates a file named update.zip on root ot memory card. Then go to revovery and select "apply sdcard update". This gives u cwm 2.x on the fly from which u can install all roms except gingerbread.
[Wildfire Android Development] :
U should use trackpad to select an option. And u should use power button to go back to the previous page options.
[Wildfire Android Development] PoohTech:
im done!!!!THANKS TO THIS THREAD!!!now what shall i do next after rooting???i have no idea what should i do next??

BTW what is this cyanogenMOD thing?

sorry newbie here!!:D
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
CyanogenMod is a custom ROM.

it allows you to OverClock your processor and enable JIT (which makes games run better) and much more :D
[Wildfire Android Development] :
Formatting to fat32 is the memory card. Not the phone memory.

How can u loose phone files by formatting mem card. No way.

And remember the 1st and foremost thing u should do after installing custom recovery is to make a nandroid backup. This helps u to recover if any thing goes wrong in 99% cases.
[Wildfire Android Development] PoohTech:
how can i put/ install that to my wildfire??

what are the requirements??

i have downloaded this cyanogenMOD-7 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957140%22

Found another way to install Clockworkmod and root my HTC Wildfire:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122694

Finally my phone is rooted :D
[Wildfire Android Development] :
No. Just installing superuser.apk will not push the su binary into system/bin.

Actually u need to root only if u want to use that stock rom. For rooting, u can use super user zip file updating via recovery in this thread 3rd step.

Or u can also use generic rooting methods like super one click root method or gingerbreak exploit (since there is no nand protection) . Also u need to root when a custom rom doesnt has su binary (which will not be in 99% cases).

AND NO. ROM MANAGER WILL NOT INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY EVEN WHEN GRANTED SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Use Titanium Backup to back up all your apps

Boot into HBOOT

Go to recovery

Backup and restore

Backup (this is your "nandroid backup", in case something ****s up you can use this to roll back to before)

Wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

install zip from SD card

choose zip from sdcard

Find and click the CM7 .zip

DONE!

Have fun with CM7 :)
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
Hi again, do i just put the CM7 zip on sd card and go into hboot and load from there? i have superuser in my apps

thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Go into recovery.

And don't forget to make a nandroid backup.

Just

in

case...
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
backing up now, also have cm7 zip on card, man thankyou so much ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
Just a quick one, i trust that the cm7 install is meant to take quite a few mins to complete? had the cm7 load screen for quite a while now,rotating arrow will stop and the little android guy keeps coming in on his skateboard quite a few times... just hoping i havent messed anything up :P
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
It takes 5-10 mins on the first launch :)
[Wildfire Android Development] t0mas_:
nejc, your guide is great, and i'm shure it works on fat 32 sdc. but, with fastboot method (link some posts above) its even easier. no messing with your card, just one simple command and thats it.
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
Its been over 10 mins already, like its stuck on an infinite loop :(
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Indeed. Not dissing this guide though. :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Well, for whatever reason Fastboot didn't work for me, so I went **** it and searched for like 1 hour :D
[Wildfire Android Development] :
Well fastboot method is much easier but it needs working android sdk.

Maybe that is why people choose this.
[Wildfire Android Development] gmd1:
Thank you nejc121

By far the only guide out there that speaks true English :)

Got it sorted using your guide.

Suppose I'd better learn the advanced Wildfire language now and do some fun stuff :)
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
Wondering if i have done something wrong, cm7 loading screen has been going on for over 15 mins now stuck in a loop or something :( anyone any idea what i could have done? :(
[Wildfire Android Development] :
Shouldn't take 15min.

Have u done factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache before installing cm7.

Maybe that is the reason if not done.
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
Nope...DOH! doing it now lol ><

EDIT: that was the problem, loaded in 3 mins this time, thankyou very much everyone you have all been amazing, you should all come to mine for some beer :D
[Wildfire Android Development] ryan1mcq:
Hmmm cant i use the market after installing cm7?
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Because of google, you have to install Google apps seperatly.

Just flash this .zip just like you flashed CM7, on you don't need to wipe anything

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip

sir nejc help me i follow your instruction but nothing happens i want to root my htc wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
YOu should be a bit more specific o.O

Right now I have no idea of what might be wrong...
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir i follow this one but nothing happens sir it does not ask me to update
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Make sure your SD card is FAT32
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
This is supposed to be followed after you get S-OFF, which, looking at your other posts, seems you have still not got it to work.
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir my sd card is fat32
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Are you S-off?
[Wildfire Android Development] euqiddis:
I've got a silly question, I havent used alpharev yet, but when i do, will it wipe everything on my phone (apps, contacts, etc etc ).

Also from the guide on page 1, I have to format my sd card, should i just copy the contents of the card to another folder on my pc, format it to fat32, then copy everything back? or will i have to install every app again?

Cheers.
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir i had successfully turn my s-off and i follow this one and my sd card is fat32 still nothing happens after i tried this instruction s sir sorry for my bad english
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
S-OFF in won't wipe anything.

But you WILL need to wipe in order to use custom ROMS.

You can just copy, format and the copy back :)
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir i have a question if i will follow the instruction above will my htc wildfire get rooted? and i can install new custom ROMS?
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir ? are you still there
[Wildfire Android Development] euqiddis:
Could i s-off , and leave the phone as is, then later on install a custom rom? I'm too busy to mess with the phone at the moment.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
The above steps will get you rooted.

Look a couple of pages back for instructions on how to flash Cyanogen Mod 7

And yes, you could leave it with s-off for over 9000 days and nothing would go wrong :)
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
can you guide me sir ? thanks a lot
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
There is an alternative method you could try.

Lemme find it

Here ya go http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14868024&postcount=5
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir hellow po
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
I'm sorry...what?
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir i went to the hboot and found out that it requires an image file but it does not recognize the image file inside the folder pc4.zip
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Don't extract it.

Keep it in the .zip
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
when i go to the hboot and run it it scan those files stated in the instructions and under is a caption that either not supported image file / wrong image file
[Wildfire Android Development] MadspiderEST:
how i change fat to fat32 = ?
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
just want to confirm if i will just copy it as zip file or i will extract those zip file i placed it both extracted and zip file on my sd card or i will put it in a separate folder inside my sd cards or just easily seen on my sd cards
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
At a command prompt, type cvt drive: /cvt32 and then press ENTER, where drive is the drive you want to convert to the FAT32 file system.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Can be done under Windows. Right Click your SD Card, Click Format, and under options you will see two choices, typically FAT and FAT32

Dont extract. Keep the Zip files as it is.
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir nothing happens no update ask sir
[Wildfire Android Development] MadspiderEST:
cheers...all done:) tnx man
[Wildfire Android Development] Irvysan:
Cheers mate, no probs rooting here. nice one :)
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir want to confirm i will wiew it using the press down key plus the power button right?
[Wildfire Android Development] :
@JOSEPHJOHN

U should keep the file name as PC49IMG.ZIP and not PC4.ZIP

Also there should be "android-info.txt" inside the zip file. Donot change it.
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
i already do that sir still no update ask sir i also format my memory card to fat32? i dont know whats wrong?
[Wildfire Android Development] :
It should load any PC49IMG.ZIP file from a fat32 memory card. If it doesn't i don't know whats the problem.

And inside the zip file the recovery file name should be "recovery.img". Check these. OR try the fastboot flashing method.
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir help nman
[Wildfire Android Development] :
@JOSEPHJOHN

I guess ur file extensions problem.

Try PC49IMG.ZIP

If it doesn't work, rename it to PC49IMG and try. Worth a try....
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:

[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
You navigate in the recovery with the trackpad not the power button (:
[Wildfire Android Development] Dadi68:
Guys two questions from me:

1. Does the file PC49IMG.zip contains the nandroid backup?

2. How can I Format the system, data & cache partitions of the wildfire? (to install CM7)
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
ok thanks sir nejc afterwards wat will happen if i see install complete ? my htc wildfire is already rooted am i right sir how to install custom roms sir?
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
A nandroid backup is something that is device specific, because it backs up the flashdrive (internal memory)

You format it via the recovery

To install any rom:

Use Titanium Backup to back up all your apps

Place the rom .zip onto your SD card

Boot into HBOOT

Go to recovery

Backup and restore

Backup (this is your "nandroid backup", in case something ****s up you can use this to roll back to before)

Wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

install zip from SD card

choose zip from sdcard

Find and click the rom's .zip

And you're done.

(please note: The wipe data will wipe EVERYTHING(!), that's why you make nandroid backups and backup apps)
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir where can we get the rom.zip? and how to install cyanogen?
[Wildfire Android Development] Dadi68:
So we run the nandroid backup from the "backup/restore" option of the bootloader?

oh, i see the new info in the previous post, thank you
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
To install CM7, follow my guide and when you need to pick the .zip, pick CM7's zip.

You can find the CM7 download here:

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/htc-wildfire

@Dadi: Yes
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sie which one is safe the stable, experimental and nightly builds?
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Well, the stable is the most safe one, the one that has updates that have gone through nightly and experimental.
[Wildfire Android Development] t0mas_:
not miy intention, just to give an alternative, since i have ext 3 partitioined sd. as i said, great guide
[Wildfire Android Development] JOSEPHJOHN:
sir which one do you recommend sir i trust you sir i cant choose eh
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Well, I'm personally using stable, since I'm not keen on having issues :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Dadi68:
you mean : update-cm-7.0.3-buzz ?
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
That's the latest update, yes :)

I do find odd how the CM7 thread here only has 7.0.2 o.O
[Wildfire Android Development] Dadi68:
Nandroid backup allways freezes at

any help?
[Wildfire Android Development] aureusz:
Hi guys,

I'm wondering, How long does it takes to flash cyanogen ? cause the device seems to be stuck at Installing update, but doesn't say anything else.

Not progress bar or anything.

Something seems to be going wrong.

I had the same problem with backup failing at 30 / 40 %. so it's probably related.
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
hmm..thats odd..

Try this:

Restore nandroid (you did back up...right?)

From Titanium backup restore ROM manager

Then install the recovery it's offering you

Click reboot into recovery

Try flashing there

Or!

In ROM manager click Install ROM from SD card

Try there (I haven't tried this yet!)
