Incorrect, you can root the phone with GingerBreak - after unlocking the bootloader. And unlocking the bootloader can be done with an XTC (Payg) Clip.
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Your tutorial sucks a little bit. You can do it with RUU exe file (which are available as in our forum). No need to have img. :) So you just click "next", instead of renaming etc.

But thank you for your afford!
[HTC Wildfire S] taffypride:
Didn't quite try the above method first time around. Created the Gold Card using Gold Card Helper on a spare 8Gb SD card.

Then I used the official European RUU and it spat out an Error [140]: Bootloader Error. HBOOT is 0.90.0000

Then decided to try using the above zip file and lo and behold it does actually work.

Does this mean we may be able to trick the phone into flashing a non HTC firmware onto the device even if we haven't S-Offed or flashed a custom Recovery?

Hi,

I have the following problem:

after getting in bootmode (vol down + power), the phone loads the PG76IMG.zip correctly and then starts checking it. It also passes the CID check (goldcard). At around 99% it says "update failed - Main version is older - press power to ....

I'm trying to get from a English/HongKong 1.35 ROM to the most recent version of an European ROM (1.33)...

Any ideas?

it says main version is older what can i do?
[HTC Wildfire S] sammyke007:
Same problem as I am having... I guess our HBOOT (1.03.0000) can't be overwritten by an older HBOOT (0.90) ROM... This is someting a Goldcard can't fix...

Guys, need some help here ...

If I bought wildfire s from germany, can I use the same way to convert the EURO ROM to Asia_WWE ROM ?
[HTC Wildfire S] souzasouza:
Go!!!!

Totally true. Very easy to do.

Do not forget to create the GoldCard calmly and concentration (for the number create cid with the application of the market is much easier and just go directly to the page on the net .. GoldCard create the file, then configure the card and HxD order to put the card in the phone!)

Everything runs perfectly. In my case I had to rename the "rom.zip" to "PG76IMG.zip", from there to boot and get to see the magic happen!

I just do it right now on my wildfire S and everything went well without are problems.

Vodafone fills the RAM with useless things, to the mobile phone is faster after the new rom!

Excuse my English, google translator.

Good job!

Hello,

Try another rom ...

I installed this: "RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.0_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_183799_signed."

-I created the GoldCard calmly, the whole process carefully. (Do not forget to put the file "GoldCard" he received in the mail at the root of memory card.)

- Started the rom setup that I described above as administrator, and I did leave the setup in the first welcome window of the setup of the Roma.

- Then I went to drive the operating system (Windows in my case, c: \) and researches made ​​up of windows of the window asked to find "rom.zip."

- I put the "rom.zip" at the root of the memory card and rename it to "PG76IMG."

- Insert the card into the phone and starts to boot ... expect and he begins himself to read the file PG76IMG.ZIP.

- After spending two steps only confirms that you want to upgrade.

- And there you just wait.

Note: This went quite often in my case there is no guarantee that works for everyone.

Good Work!

[HTC Wildfire S] dhd1802:
I think it was ruu + no gold card = cid error. Ruu + gold card = error 140. PG76IMG.ZIP on SD card + gold card = unbranded wildfire s.

It might just be the Rom your on :(
[HTC Wildfire S] benedict.s:
that doesn't work

i have orange with the latest rom, have tried all above 3 solutions. NONE of them work!

so does this mean that it's impossible to debrand a UK orange with the latest branded os?

do we have to wait for a newer debranded version of the HTC to come out?
[HTC Wildfire S] LandUzu:
no success for me either.

I too have also tried the mentioned methods. If i try the RUU w/o a GC, i get incorrect customer id (error 131)

If i try the RUU with the GC, i get Bootloader version incorrect(error 140)

and if i try the ROM on the SD card with GC, i get main version is older error or summat like that.

:rolleyes:

I think the latest Official HTC ROM is older that the latest T-Mobile Uk ROM.......gutted, looks like i gotta persevere for now............the Gingerbreak method looks fairly comlicated and im not sure ill be able to pull it off on a Win 7 64bit machine. :(
[HTC Wildfire S] dhd1802:
if the .zip & goldcard doesn't work for either of you, the gingerbreak method might be your only option at the moment.

if you guys can make a gold card, that gingerbreak method wont be as complicated as it seems. just copy & paste the commands to avoid any typos, if you want to take that route.

If you look in settings -> Privacy -> Back up my data is it checked? You might want to try unchecking it if it is.

I had all sorts of horrible battery drain from this being on while having poor signal at work and the phone constantly looking for a better data connection to sync over. I only realised this could be a problem after I got some fair usage warnings from my operator. Did a google for the cause of the excessive data use and found this option. Turned it off and my phone went from sometimes discharging faster than it could charge and dying in a couple of hours to lasting over a day.

I rooted my TB and all, I was ready to Unroot using the ADB way... I uploaded the 3 files and then it says ADB: no such file for the recovery part.

So Then I wiped my cache and my Partition thinking I was good to go with the upload from Zip through recovery. That didnt work

Now Im trying to get the phone into Download mode so I can connect using Odin. Then Flash a Stock Rom using Odin onto phone....

Also when in Terminal App on phone and get SU permissions and then try ADB: Reboot Download or recovery , I get ------ No Such Tool?

questions are How do I Unroot this Damn phone to send back to VZ???

Anyways.. here is a link to unroot.. it should help

Also.. I went from the Charge to the thunderbolt... much happier... Charge battery life was just about as bad.. if any better its because its a slightly bigger battery

[HOWTO] Restore to stock for root users and non-root users UPDATED 5/17/2011

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009423

It is an update from the method you have been trying. I assume you are still rooted? Follow the first part of the tutorial, it is for rooted phones needing to return to stock. I have used this method a couple of times without issue.

I would suggest starting from the beginning and re- download all of the files. Check mdsum5, painstakingly follow each and every step and you should be returned to stock in about 20 minutes once you have downloaded all of the files.

Odin is not a tool we use with the Thunderbolt. We use ADB shell and Hboot and CWR as means of flashing Roms, radios and other files to our phones. I assume you are at least a bit familiar with these as at some point you rooted your phone.

Another piece of advice, its free and you don't even have to thank me; when you get your new awesome Charge and you start having issues with it and you just can't seem to figure out which key words to rub together in Google to find the magical solution. You may want to avoid going to the Charge forums asking for help stating that the Charge sucks but you people should help me out anyway. You might find that people are more inclined to help you out. I'm just saying.....

Quick version:

Stock 32B MyTouch stuck on google login screen after factory reset. Tried many SIM cards ... don't work. Trying to root. Need help!! Thanks!!! :-)

Full version:

My sister bought a new phone and was going to pass along her myTouch3g to her daughter. Her husband was going to root it and install a custom rom thinking that it might run better for their daughter. My sister did a factory reset and passed it along to her husband. When he started the process he realized that he needed to get into the phone settings to create a gold card in order to root the phone. He put his SIM in the phone and tried to continue through the initial boot up and login process. After entering the login info it attempts to login for a while and eventually states that it: "Can't Establish a Reliable Data Connection" and thus does not log into the phone. He tossed it into a drawer and months later decided to pass it onto me. As far as I know he didn't do anything to it and it is just a stock 32B MyTouch but it won't login. I have tried 5 different sim cards none do any different.

Is there anyway for me to bypass this? I have searched high and low but can't find a "real" way that will work on this phone. I am guessing that there must be something with adb that will help out but I'm not sure. I have rooted a few different android phones; G1, Galaxy S, but I am stuck with this one.

My niece will be SOOOO excited if I can figure this out but I need somebody else to help make that happen. Thanks for any help on this!! :-)
