right attached is a direct upload from my back ups. again get the hboot to flash it and your good to go. remember that while in clockworkmod recovery the power button is "back" and the trackball is "select". so if you push power on the main screen you will end up with a blank screen until you hit it again.
[Wildfire General] aadil10:
Tried to flash and it said this:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Instalation aborted.

Does that with any zip too
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
Ok open the zip folder and you will see recovery.img take it and place it into your adb folder then open a command prompt from that folder and issue the command

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

While the phone is in Fastboot mode.
[Wildfire General] aadil10:
Hey, nevermind! Somehow my phone booted and im back to running cyanogen7 :P Maybe a backup worked again or something.

Thanks so much anyway, you were really helpful! :victory:

[Wildfire General] aadil10:
read the setup2.bat, see if it says any error. And does it close straight away or after a bit?

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

What does it say when you try to flash? And have you got clockwork recovery version 5?
[Wildfire General] mega_man:
problem comes on setup2.bat when it says sending rom zip file after some time it closes and phone shows the same bootloader version 1.01.002 oh an during sending rom zip stage phone shows black screen with htc and comes on bootloader after the console closes
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
If you right click step2.bat and open it as a text document you can see all the commands it uses, issue them manually by yourself via command prompt and see what errors you get :)

What to do with my rooted phone?

So i'm rooted and running CM7 (2.3.7)

What new games can I now get on my phone?

I can't get apps later than 2.2.1 from the play store, it doesn't seem to think my phone is running 2.3.7 (yes im definitely running it)

I tried downloading some APK's online that are 2.3.3 but they just force close when I run them on my phone.

Is there an appstore I can get these games from? I just want newer games, e.g. subway surfers or hill climb racing
[Wildfire General] methuselah:
You can't not run subway surfer and that heavy games in your wildfire coz we don't have a GPU. Only small and little games can we able to work. Well I remember 1, 3d type game I ran long ago in willy but it was worked because of inbuilt flash player of 2.2 froyo. Apart from that I never got success in running.
[Wildfire General] aadil10:
Alright thanks, and also there are some games, such as temple run that I could run a few years ago when I got my phone, but now I can't, how come?

Also, do you know if anyone has made a list of compatible games for the Wildfire?

Thanks, Aadil

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Ok so another question :P

I have CM7 which is 2.3.7 but I saw a few guides for CM9 4.0.4. Is it worth installing this ROM? Will it make my phone faster, more fluid or give me better features? It seems there are a few bugs such as camera issues and USB issues.

Also if it is worth it which guide should I follow?

or another?

Thanks, Aadil
[Wildfire General] methuselah:
Well I can't make a list I am not with my computer these days and I don't exactly remember the games I had played with out willy some of them are paper toss something like that.

The temple run like games work long ago coz at that time the phones were less powerful and the company make them keeping in mind devices at that time. Marketing and development always go because of available hardware in the market. At the time most of the phones are of same levels of willy . so as time passes to please customers companies add more functions and they upgrade the hardware requirements.

Now ROMS, CM9 WHICH you quoted are all good. But the best bet for willy maximum is 2.3.7 try them I would make a list of all with but as I told in am not with my computer so can't write. Try you already quoted some of best. Keep playing with phone and ROMs you will find out.
[Wildfire General] aadil10:
Alright, I might give it a go in the future, but for now I'm going to get used to CM7

Thanks a lot!

can anyone post again the test version of unrevoked ??? all links from first page are down.
[Wildfire General] micnolmad:
Hi I am stuck at Step2.bat. The phone goes into hboot, does stuff very fast, and a black screen with silver/white htc text on it and it remains there. I am unsure whether I need to copy any files to the sd card after goldcardtool.exe has run?

Edit:

I just tried to pull the usb cable out of the phone and it jumped to the hboot screen, which states .0001 and S-ON. Instead of the normal menu it shows RUU and is unresponsive. I can take the battery out and it will boot..

Edit 2:

This is weird. I ran alpharevx anyway, it switched it s-off but now it's 6.01.0002. Is it suppose to do that? I have CWM installed also.. if this procedure is thet "right" one I think the guide needs to be updated so newbies (that's me) isn't so freaking scared :D
[Wildfire General] mginka:
Step 3 - Gaining root using Unrevoked, get ClockworkMod and set your phone free

Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error

"Validation error, backup CID is missing"

This may be caused as the 3.32 does not support the HBOOT. Hence you need specific test version of Unrevoked 3.2 to do the job. Download it, save it on desktop, and run it. Now connect your phone and the rooting will start. Once done, you will have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone.

Reboot your phone now (using the VOLUME UP/DOWN key for navigation and clicking using TRACKBALL, the POWER button takes you back in menus). Once rebooted, you will see the “Superuser” app in your phone and....

At this step i am unable to run unrevoked as the phone should be in usb debugging enbaled but to enable it i am not able to use my touch screen please help..

It simply says waiting for device.

thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
This is such a needlessly long procedure. There is absolutely no need to touch an RUU (Using a wrong one is bound to make your "Touchscreen fail") or Unrevoked after getting S-OFF. I don't know why you overcomplicated it, but anyway, whatever suits you. :/

Just my 2C.
[Wildfire General] n00bies:
Thank you OP! This was a flawless guide. Brilliant work!
[Wildfire General] micnolmad:
If This procedure has steps not needed, please state which these are or direct to a better one please.

Check out this link for those who are running on 2.2.1 .It worked like a charm :D http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, that's the steps I followed and recommend. Much less hassles.

Only a few changes:

1) Under rooting - Stick to flashing su2361.zip. Don't bother with Gingerbreak (Yes, it works, but, flashing Superuser is simpler). tl'dr: Stick with the 1st 5 steps.

2)Under Installing Custom ROMs, I prefer installing them from Clockworkmod Recovery after rebooting into Recovery, rather than ROM Manager, again because installing ROMs from ROM Manager has caused issues to some users. tl;dr: Follow Step 2 under Rooting.

But, apart from these 2 things, if you need a short hassle free guide, definitely follow that.

You can extract the India version HBoot 1.01.0002 nb0 file from the Update.zip at Shipped ROMs:

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz

(Look for OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip )

The 1st command will remain the same, only in the second command, the file name will change with the one you extracted.

Hi, this could be a really n00bish error, but after searching and tearing my hair out, I can't figure out what the problem is, after double checking and triple checking I appear to have done everything properly, except whenever I run UnrEVOked 3.2 (as specified) it always runs brilliantly, then pauses on Waiting for root without moving

Anyone got any ideas what could cause that to happen?

[Wildfire General] :
HTC sync shouldn't work in AOSP roms afaik. Should have backed up contacts to Google account. Use sense rom once to restore your contacts and then backup to Google.

AOSP = no HTC apps.

I just tried it. It worked just fine on my device (hboot 1.01.0001). I skipped running step1.bat and went straight to make goldcard. However I ran step2.bat. (I first thought I made a mistake here, but when I ran the alpharevx tools it still worked fine and I got my device S-Off). I followed each step written here and now I'm running CM7. Thank you very much for the hard work and for posting us this.

Anyways, I'm having problem with my network signal. It says "No Service". Should I change my radio? Please advise. Thank you once again.

Hey guys, I'm rooting one of these for my friend and have done all the procedures like "Clockwork" ;-)

I'm having a problem when flashing and booting up with CM7. I have tried multiple recoveries to flash it with (v.2, 3 and 4) and every time it loads, it comes to the "Welcome to HTC Wildfire" screen - stays here for about 5 seconds and reboots. Sometimes, if I've quick enough I can tap the Android and get to the next stage but it then reboots (more like a Hot Reboot, just shows the animation for about 20 seconds and back to the same thing over and over).

I used this guide to create the goldcard, downgrade the HBOOT, S-off, root it and then flash Cyanogen, everything is fine until I try boot it.

I've wiped data / factory reset

I've wiped cache partition

I've wiped davlik-cache

I've wiped battery stats

I have root and can ADB in Fastboot and Recovery (HBOOT 6-1.0.1.0002) and it's the AlphaRev HBOOT too. I'm stumped because I've been flashing CM for donkeys now and the only similar thing I've experienced required me to wipe the cache or davlik.

Cyanogen I'm using - http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.3-buzz-signed.zip

G-Apps I'm using - http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Some insight would be great. I've Googled reboot loops on CM7 but nothing relevant appears.

Then only run step1.bat & step2.bat without admin privileges, only the goldcardtool needs admin.

It looks like the debranding procedure doesn't work for me. I've got a "FASTWEB BRANDED" version, don't know how you PROs call this kind of firmware :D

Anyway, the weird thing is that no error is displayed in the above procedures. Without S-OFF i cannot ROOT my phone, is it right? And without root, no custom ROM can be installed, am i right? Thank you for your time.

Hope someone can help,
