in starting of the procedure it says remove htc sync but i didn't got from where from pc or mobile?and about drivers it says keep drivers in the pc jst remove htc sync i didn't got this
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
Ok on your pc install htc sync and then go to programs etc where you uninstall programs from and you will see htc sync and htc drivers in the list, uninstall htc sync but KEEP the drivers.

hey in step 2 i have some problem when i try to run that and then press enter to run something happens and the command prompt exits and doesn't show me any kind of message that can let me know that if step 2 is completed or not
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
Ive done 5 wildfires using this guide and 1 (mine) from older guide without any issues but its been a long time since i did them, i really cant remember the process but it may be a goldcard issue? Im really sorry i cant help more but i cant remember. Just try repeating the steps making sure you do things exactly how guided. Remember any character input is all case sensitive. Goodluck.

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire General] coolkartu:
okay i wil try again frm another pc which is 32 bit it might wrk there

tried all methods

the buzzdowngrade method is not working on hbot 1.02.0000. i have the "unlocked bootloader" with htc dev website.super user installed with "s'on".

it doesn't work i read all the sections of the wildfire. even i tried flash recovery and all that stuff but in vain i am unable to intall custom recovery on my wildfire. it just left out with a red phone image in the end.. tried each and everything related to it renaming the clockwrokmode image and all the stuff but something is not happening good somewhere. does my wildfire has been touched by some ghost ?? :(
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Did you try fastboot?
[Wildfire General] LaneyEFC:
Anyone having problems with goldcard, check to see if your HBOOT is already 1.01.0001! to check (POWER OFF PHONE, HOLD VOLUME DOWN KEY AND PRESS POWER BUTTON) if so then you can automatically move onto this part...

And the outcome should be a fully rooted phone...

Discalmer

Thank you very much, it worked for me (HBOOT-1.01.0002). Just some contribution:

Can you add here one more discalmer line, that "DOING THIS WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE (SMS, CALL HISTORY, APP SETTINGS, ETC. - make a backup for the not synced data too!!!)"?

You may append, that you may skip this step if you want to install custom ROM/MOD.

Thank you again!
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
ummh, I see a point that there might be a few TLDNR ("Too-long-did-not-read") ppl but on the other hand this is the first complain/remark in over a year - so I guess most people DID read the initial sentence "With reference to member "euqiddis", regarding "backup". He's absolutely right !!" ;)

Regarding the USB drivers: you will need them for many purposes - not just to install stock ROMs ;)

HELP

I literally cannot even get Step 1 to work! Why not?!

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file

over and over again, until:

***step one is done, continue with step 2***

Create a goldcard first, etc etc etc.

It doesn't feel like its done anything, and after following the instructions, nothing happens!

Any help would be MOST appreciated, thank you for your time.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
You first need the Android SDK.

Read on how-to here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/ADB
[Wildfire General] anamalechecho:
I already have the SDK, completely updated and up to date. Do I need to have any of the tools open? Thanks for the super quick response! I'd love this done today!
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Okay, just go into the folder where you installed the SDK. You'll see a folder named platform-tools. Open that up and copy the address to it. (default it's C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools).

Now, open up CMD and use this command "cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools", change location if different.

Now, you can use adb commands.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
I've copied and pasted this part of the guide i used for setting up adb. It explains how to set it into the path variables on windows so you don't need to type all the cd commands, you can just open a cmd prompt from anywhere and tell it to do something.
[Wildfire General] _Y.a.S.s.O_:

hi there,

i have a wildfire with hboot 1.02.0000. i tried to downgrade with the tutorial, all good, but after the restart in step 2, after sending and flashing the rom, the hboot is the same. i don't have any rom installed and no backup is made. the cwm won't accept any rom, giving me the (status 0 - instalation aborted). the ruu gives me errors. i am S-ON. can you help me?
[Wildfire General] dark_prince:
please upload the Gold-Card tool to a host which doesnt require registration such as Mediafire.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
You mean "Step 2" under "Rooting the device" ?
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
Yes. I'm away now but I'll upload it tonight
[Wildfire General] dark_prince:
make gold card by using the reverse CID, if you use the normal CID, Gold Card wont work and Step 2 will fail. After that, just let the phone boot. Enable USB debugging and run Revolutionary tool to install CWM + ROOT itself :)

I am all fixed and running CM7 now
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
I made it with reversed CID. I cannot enable usb debugging since i don't have a rom installed. I have CWM and su bin instaled. I will try again.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
it would be so easy to enable usb debugging, but the phone is unable to boot. i'm stuck on bootloader or cwm. and everytime i try to install via cwm this is what i get

Edit: When i'm in recovery, cause is the only way my phone is available via adb, i'm running step1.bat from the guide, and this is what i get: see pic3
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Download the RUU rom once again.

Download this and format the card using this tool(don't use Recovery).

Extract the rom.zip out of the RUU(Instructions here)

Rename it PC49IMG.zip and copy this file to the root of your SD card.

Boot into HBOOT and when it asks you if you wish to continue,select ‘Yes’ and allow it to complete.

Reboot the device when it asks.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
This is the error i get
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Make sure you don't rename the file "PC49IMG.zip.zip"

What Clockworkmod Recovery are u using?
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
it's named corectly. i have cwm-4.0.1.4 revolutionary. but trust me, i have tried many cwm images.

another thing: when i tried to use unrevoked, it said <<device "/sbin/sh: getprop: not found" is not supported at this time.>> what is that?
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Don't screw the things.You need to read the guide once again.Don't try anything what you don't know about.How did you get Recovery ? Through Revolutionary ?

I doubt that Revolutionary can get you the S-OFF as your HBOOT is 1.02.0000,you can still ROOT your device though.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
revolutionary was flashed via fastboot trying different cwms to install a rom. but without success. do i need to remove cwm? the bottom line is that i just want to make it work. i don't care about the root.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Boot into clockworkmod recovery and wipe these.

Under advanced:

Dalvik cache

Under mount and storage:

Format /cache

Format /data

Format /boot

Froyo RUU's section.

Plug your phone into the PC and set it to "Charge through USB". Double click RUU rom .exeFollow the on screen instructions and then let it install.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
i cannot set it to charge through usb since the phone cannot boot :(
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Do you have a diff SD Card ?

There is probably something wrong with your Goldcard.

Create a Goldcard again following this guide.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
what do you mean? i have a microsd card. the thing is that the phone does not have a rom installed. so for me, there is either fastboot, or cwm. i only want to make it boot with any rom. :((
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
I mean do you have any other SD Card ?
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
oh yeah. i have a 16gb and a 4gb card. i tried with both. the 4gb card is bought yesterday
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Cool,Now create a Goldcard again with 4GB card following this guide.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
ok the only thing i cannot do on this phone is this "3. On the Phone, goto Settings, Applications, Development and then make sure USB Debugging is checked." because i don't have a working rom. without that, adb will not work. i tried doing that :(
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Download this recovery.

Rename it PC49IMG.zip and copy this file to the root of your SD card.

Boot into HBOOT and when it asks you if you wish to continue,select ‘Yes’ and allow it to complete.

You will get recovery 5.0.2.0 now remove the SD Card,delete the PC49IMG.zip file and follow that "Extract the rom.zip out of the RUU......"method once again.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
and then rename the rom PC49IMG.zip?
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Yep
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
did that, the same "wrong zipped image" message :( i think i'm gonnda throw it on the window :))

Take a chill pill!;)We can work it out.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
when i'm running the ruu, what state shoud the phone have? fastboot or hboot?

on hboot it gives me: ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

on fastboot it gives me:

1: Image version: version-main FAILED (status read failed(Too many links)) and an Update button.

2: Press the Update, the bootloader crashes. Must take out the battery.

After disconnecting the phone, RUU reappears with the message: From Image version: it's blank there ; To Image version: 2.22.405.1.

Reconnecting the phone, pressing Next button twice.

3: Rebooting to Bootloader.......... and that's it :) Bootloader crashes again.

4: Restarting the phone, ERROR [155] UNKNOWN ERROR and i have a Recover button.

I'm dealing with this phone since wednesday :(
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Connect your phone to the PC while in the bootloader. The phone should say fastboot USB, if not, select fastboot on the phone & check if it says fastboot USB.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
yes, in fastboot usb, the bootloader crashes like i said above.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
What do you mean by BOOTLOADER crashes ?What's happening exactly ?
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
i mean the volume rocker and power button does not respond, and it doesn't happen anything. it stays like that.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Revome your SD Card from the phone.Take the battery out of your phone for 2 mints.

Now boot into fastboot(without your SD Card).Connect your phone to the PC while in the bootloader. The phone should say fastboot USB, if not, select fastboot on the phone & check if it says fastboot USB.

Now in your PC navigate to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Device Manager and check if your device is listed there.
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:
It's there:

Have you got ADB working on your PC ?
[Wildfire General] seagerfreak:

You need to use alpharevx first to get S-OFF.
[Wildfire General] Hipnetix:
I'll ask it in another way...

I have Android 2.2.1 but it's with HBOOT 1.01.0001, do I need to downgrade it like it's explained in the guide?

Or is there another guide for Android 2.2.1 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 (to get it S-OFF and root it)?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
No, You need not downgrade. Make sure all drivers are properly installed and run Alpharev directly.
[Wildfire General] raze599:
Hi everyone

Sorry if this has been answered before but I followed the guide to the letter and I'm having some trouble with Unrevoked.

Basically, I used that RUU that was provided and when I run Unrevoked, it goes into the bootloader like it should, the program says "starting pre-boot sequence" or something similar but then the phone just reboots normally and nothing else happens.

Any ideas on how to fix this? The program stays at "waiting for root" after this.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Why go the long way around by using a ruu and then UnrEVOked?
[Wildfire General] Hipnetix:
Thanks!

Another question.. When the device is S-OFF, is it safe to use unrevoked because I read some people had problems with it.

If it isn't safe is there another way then?
[Wildfire General] raze599:
Bit of a noob and I thought I'd do it the long way to play it safe lol

EDIT: Managed it using the official version of UnrEVOked from their website. THANKS O.P FOR THE GUIDE.
[Wildfire General] :
You guys need a 1-click windows program (without using ruu) which includes fastboot tools and root tools and drivers and recovery, and which installs the recovery + root with one click. Would have compiled if I'm a programmer (but unfortunately not).

Also 1-click tool to install custom roms.

[Wildfire General] Kr3i0s:
My GPS has not been working after putting on CM7.0.3. It is a bug or just my device not working?
[Wildfire General] someonecs:
hi i'm new here i wana ask after s-off my device and sucess, then,

Rooting the device:

Step 1 - Installing the USB drivers

Download USB drivers (here) and extract them on desktop. Turn off your wildfire and boot into HBOOT by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button. Connect your phone to your PC and it will show "drivers installing" or similar there for Android device. 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.

by volume + and power it will only start my phone normaly , but volume - and power it enter to the hboot thingy i think ( i not sure )

and there is no prompt of driver installing on my pc why?

am i doing wrong somehow?

sry for the noobness :D:p
[Wildfire General] Kr3i0s:
Sorry for being a noob....found the answer here :D

THANK YOU!!!!

Well I must say thank you because I have never seen so good tutorial. Thank you man to the heavens. Before this I was looking for many tutorials to root my HTC Buzz. But this is the best way!!!!! I must say I was rly scared when I was doing it, I was constantly thinking that I will brick my phone, but following you step by step have leaded me to my new cyanogenmod ROM. There is few things what I dislike in this ROM but maybe there is an options for my desires and I will surely look for those settings in my phone. Well it was long almost 2 years of using HTC sense but now I'm happy it's just like I have brand new phone ^_^... I'll stay tuned to ur tut's u r awesome man...thank you one more time

Best Regards
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
you mean you're running CM7 for a few days? It's the most stable and most often used AOSP ROM - but just one out of many. So if sense for example is what you're missing: there's also a few sense ROMs (RemPuzzle is the most stable if I'm correct) and you can also flash a stock ROM of course - no need to revert s-off or root ;)
