Immensely good & helpfull guide.

I succesfully went through the whole thing to get a 2.2.1 Wilfire on CM7.1.0.1 stable

Only had one "problem", possibly a mistake in the guide

The only mode that made my phone visible to revolutionary (and allowed me to go on with the patching) was "HTC Sync" mode.

Other than that (possible) mistake a perfect guide. Thx very much.

After I Flash Rom TO 2.1 , Touch not WorK!!!

Help Help Help :(
[Wildfire General] dumb125:
Superb tutorial. Thank you for providing this.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
What rom are you using stock, custom? Are you rooted?

If your already rooted then reflash your rom, if its cm7 stable upgrade to the latest version.

You need to run an ruu to fix the touch, there's plenty of guides on this look in the development section for shipped roms thread to find an ruu, run it and your touch should work after. Then try to root again.
[Wildfire General] shashankdombe:
Hello.. I really wanted to root my Buzz... I saw this post with a lot of hopes I started to do it. I installed HTC sync and also uninstalled it keeping the drivers. even with USB debugging and charge only mode , when I run step 1 its showing " adb is not recognised as internal/ external command" and it ask me to exit. I also tried with the drivers given with the downgrade file download. But no joy. little help is needed..
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Did you install the right drivers after uniinstalling HTC sync.

Please don't quote the op, it makes my thumb hurt having to scroll all the way down.....

I'm having this same problem as him and nothing would work on my phone. It is totally bricked! How am I suppose to unbrick it? I've the previous threads and I can't seem to understand.

[Wildfire General] baxtex:
Hello, tomorrow my friend will come over and i'm gonna try rooting his Wildfire, Though i have only rooted my one SGS with Darkys Core, which looks easier then this. I don't understand the tutorial properly.

It's stock, so it got the bootloader HBOOT 1.01.0001, should i perform the first step then, downgrading and such?

Should i get S-OFF also? Or should i start rooting it directly?

Do i have to downgrader from Android 2.2.1 Froyo to Android 2.1 Éclair? Why can't i just use Revooked and get Root acces directly? Or are I'm just downgrading IF it fails to installs the SUB drivers?

PS Sorry for my bad English, live in Sweden :P
[Wildfire General] pratikvasa:
unable to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1

hi,

I tried to root my wildfire..

I was successful doing s-off using revolutionary..

when i was trying to downgrade the htc from 2.2.1 to 2.1

it did not work.

i installed the USB drivers as specified. and when i reboot my phone some my htc driver gets installed so the ruu installer does not detect my phone.

And after trying a lot i somehow did manage to install the proper drivers and tried to install the indian ROM.

It keeps on telling that the battery is less than 30% charged. even though it was almost full so it does not continue with the installation.

any suggestions...:(
[Wildfire General] yorufujiwara:

Dear All,

I have problem with CM7-ROM. Status Bar is force close, please help me

Thanks a lot.

Pls ignore, I have installed "[ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Wildfire :: V7.1.0.1 (10 Oct 2011)" i/o down ROM direct from CM website, this problem is solved
[Wildfire General] rudovjan:
Done

I followed that guide yesterday and everything seems to work great. I had issue with unreworked and i have to download special drivers for unreworked 3 (unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install)

And than i had problem with touch screen .. resolved by using different RUU ..

everything after these issues work fine :-)

Thank you very much!

P.S. I cannot post it with direct link to driver
[Wildfire General] Andr3wKay:
just trying to root my girlfriends phone, following the guide on the first post.

Got to this bit:

When prompted, install the drivers by going to device manager and browsing to the folder where you extracted the drivers. Once installed, disconnect and reboot your phone normally.

That went fine and installed those drivers which I had to download. I am stuck with the next bit:

Now you need to install the “Android bootloader interface”.

Connect your HTC wildfire to the PC and it will ask for drivers again,

When I reboot into normal phone mode, and connect the phone to PC, nothing happens - its like normal. It recognises there's a phone attached, and if I put into Disk drive, its normal. It doesnt ask for drivers at all.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Wildfire General] xXrammXx:
Thanks, just worked fine! Finaly free for custom roms. Big Thanks to all!

Andr3wKay, nothing. just go to the next step.

if you installed usb drivers in a flash mode once - you do not need install it again.

i think i have same descriptionunderstandproblems. whatever
[Wildfire General] DroidDeveloperHD:
Thanks

Hey Author of this Thread,

I have my phone sucessfully rooted thanks to you; just wanted to say thanks alot etc.

I have a few questions that I need to ask you, when I go in to HBOOT > Recovery if I select any option (Lets say Nandroid) I just get a blank screen.

The same problem occurs for all options.

Do you think I have to re-root?

And how do I select my carrier in CM7 because I heard the setup wizard doesn't work in CM7. ( Haven't got CM7 YET, because of the problem above)

HbootSpecs:

-Revolutionary-

Buzz PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.01.1002

MICROP-0622

TOUCH-PANEL-ATMEL224-16ab

RADIO-3.35.15.31

Oh and one more thing, I downgraded to eclair to root my phone because it said my firmware is too new (Unrevoked)so Can I update to froyo or will it mess up my root?

Thanks,

DroidDeveloperHD.

Edit: I finally figured it out ; you must use the circular button at the bottom of your phone.

Stucked somewhere

Hello, everyone! Although this rooting method is, in my opinion, the best out there, I have got some problems while making an S-OFF thing:

Actually problems started to worry me in thes two steps:

7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).

8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.

------>what happened is : I typed out the serial number from my hTC Wildfire and typed it in the proper text box at revolutionary homepage and it gave me this beta key : ... and I typed it in the revolutionary tool an it showed me an invalid beta key.

Despite that, I chose to type in the serial at revolutionary homepage that was shown in the revolutionary tool (...), and once again it showed me that it is an invalid beta key...

So, what is the problem, please help me, I have waited for rooting my hTC so long...

Memory Card Reader

Do i have to use a memory card reader cause i haven't got one nor has my PC. Will Unrevoke ever release one for HTC Wildfire HBOOT 1.001.002? :mad:
[Wildfire General] sanjeev10:
I think you can do it from your phone......
[Wildfire General] DroidDeveloperHD:
You can use your phone as a card reader. Mount it as a disk drive and you'll find it in computer. Right click the drive ( F Or J for windows 7)then clickformat, format to FAT32. Also, remember this will delete EVERYTHING ON SD CARD, but doesn't really delete anything unless you have Apps in SD.

[Wildfire General] fluxx_srb:
Hi,

Just wanted to say that the guide worked! With minor problems, however, all fixed by reading this thread. Had a problem with downgrading, but solved it by using Asian RUU. The only thing left is GPS not working, but I'll try flashing radio, I see that some guys managed to get it going.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Upgraded my radio, GPS seems to be working now! So, all is resolved!
[Wildfire General] luxstar:
Can someone help?

Thanks! :)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I entered your serial, and the website gave me this key:

l7bn0ycFA7mOAKjY

(Windows version).

BTW, I would remove the serial if I were you, I don't think it's desirable to post your device serial in public)
[Wildfire General] Robis89:
Yeah, I agree with you, you're right about not showing the serial, but in case you would answer that guy's question cuz he's in trouble not telling him that it's not good to put your serial in the post, who cares, bro?

BTW I have the same problem about invalid beta key, and please tell me somebody what to do to proceed my htc's S-OFF ing... Please, help me, developes...
[Wildfire General] luxstar:
Thanks 3xeno! :)

I re-entered the key and now everything is working fine.

Thanks again
[Wildfire General] sanjeev10:

is the adw launcher necessary?

Hi!

First of all thanks a bunch!:D:D this worked first time (excluding the revolutionary, which was 3rd attempt) and this being the first time iv ever rooted anything it was good to have a clear step by step procedure......

i was just wondering if the adw launcher within cyanogenmod 7 is necessary, or can a stock gingerbread rom be flashed in?
[Wildfire General] Barney88:
Failure in Step2.bat

hi,

I spent some days on rooting this WildFire, I nearly went wild when step2.bat kept vanishing w/o any effects.

The reason of this crazy thing is I used CID instead of Reverse CID.

for all who have the same problem, you have to choose the Reverse CID instead of CID for Step1.bat - 7.

It worked perfect now.

Hope this can help :D
[Wildfire General] ingredient621:
Nice.

Went off without a hitch, aside from a previous failed attempt to root the phone (before I RTFM'd about just why I couldn't do it on 1.01.0002 at the time) having already put the USB drivers from Step 1 of "Rooting the device" on the machine I used to run through the process (which resulted in a couple of WTF moments while figuring it out :p). It was a touch lengthy, but it's nice to now have a handset that doesn't lag and randomly refuse to do things until it feels good and ready for it.

Only thing I've noticed is that wireless signal reception seems weaker in Cyanogen compared to the stock HTC ROM on any given wireless AP I've connected it to. Considering the benefits, though, I can live with this.

Many thanks. :D

Faster way

After S-OFF, there really isn't a need to go through all that trouble. After S-OFF following this thread, just follow the instructions at this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130044

It works like a charm.

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

If you have already downgraded to Eclair and do not have superuser app, then just run unrevoked again. If you have superuser app installed, you can install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery through that.
[Wildfire General] Masoud Nine:
i'v got a problem in downgrading session. i'm running the step2.bat and then i press enter to continue but suddenly some text appear down that window and quickly it closes the window. and then nothing happens. i've taken a shot at that short time and you can see it in the attachments.

PLZ help me i really don't know what's wrong with this.

[EDIT] ---> i solved the problem. i had to run as admin JUST when i wanted to run GoldCardTool not the other 2 steps!

Stuck at "Waiting for root..."

I sucesfully followed till S-OFF,Installing Drivers but when trying to perform Step3 i.e. rooting with unrevoked..it is stuck at "Waiting for root..".

What am i doing wrong?
[Wildfire General] Dr Coconut:
You actually need to downgrade to eclair after S-OFF before you can run unrevoked. I suggest that if you already have S-OFF. You follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130044

It is much less of a hassle and is also faster.

I done everything just one thing missing gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip what should i do now? :confused:
[Wildfire General] Dr Coconut:
Just install it through rom manager. If you do not have it, install it from market

Steps: Using rom manager, install clockworkmod twice in succession to ensure that it will work -> After installing, go to download rom (in rom manager) -> select google apps and install.

When installing google apps, there is no need to wipe data. Just wipe the dalvik cache and install.

Just some tips guys! If you cannot downgrade to 1.01 try with a different SD card,that solved my problem!
[Wildfire General] I-love-htc:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.

For this step, should I connect the phone in Disk Drive mode?
[Wildfire General] jacktyler1807:
NO. Charge only, USB debugging on, as per the instructions.
[Wildfire General] jacktyler1807:
After step 1, quit the window and manually start the goldcard.exe tool. Once that has done, insert goldcard and then run step 2.

Hi, thanks for this great guide, I've managed to get Soff Hboot is 0.2 which is a bit confusing, it was 0.1 and then went back to 0.2.

This is where I am a bit stuck. It says to connect my wildfire to the PC, and that it will ask for drivers. The problem is it doesn't ask for any drivers. in my device driver it shows android USB device, subheading my HTC, and there is another entry for my phone storage.

I am using Windows XP, is there a workaround to install the android boot loader interface. Many thanks.

"Now you need to install the “Android bootloader interface”.

Connect your HTC wildfire to the PC and it will ask for drivers again, now go to device manager, click on unknown device “other devices”.

Click on update driver -> install from specific location -> No i will choose to install -> choose Android phone and click on “adb interface” -> click next -> when asked to install click on continue anyway, just install them.

Once done you will see your phone recognized as "Android bootloader interface".

Now disconnect your phone and go into:

Settings -> applications - > development - > enable USB Debugging."
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Have you tried disregarding the fact it doesn't ask you for the driver and skipped that part.

i.e go straight to device manager and then install the bootloader interface.

the only thing I'd like to know is:

is there a way to keep the overclocking at a desired treshold?

I mean, when I have to turn off the htc, I have to re-set the overclock to the desired level...and I would like that it remains at that level! >_<"
