If you read the topic about zergRush you would have seen that you can only gain full root access to your phone in adb shell.

That's all.

But it permits me to downgrade from a ROM compatible hboot 1.03 to a ROM compatible hboot 0.9, but I'm always hboot 1.03 right now.

In fact it allows you to bypass RUU error n? saying : bootloader error version.

But please don't change your mood being frustrated, all I want is to help people in my situation and if possible help to root the phone.

I think having the full root power in adb shell can let you do all you want on your phone right ? Like installing a custom rooted rom !

Hello all;) Excuse my English translated with google

I followed your instructions (I was stuck like many a stage gingerbreack) I was oange rom 1.36 ... I know if it matters but I installed the 1.64 rom vodaphone .. I wanted to resume the tutorial but still the problem of gingerbreak that does not launch ... in fact apès some research I just replaced the # zergRush gingerbreak not the root grew in 20 seconds so I followed the end of this tutorial and it's good I'm htc official rom:) hoping to help my HBOOT is 0.90 for info
[HTC Wildfire S] emveefr:
Je suis français aussi et j'ai galéré un moment avant de réussir comme toi avec zergRush. Juste au dessus de ton post j'avais mis un lien vers mon tuto pour le faire ^^.

J'avais la même config que toi ROM Orange 1.36 et je suis passé en ROM Vodaphone 1.64 puis passé en HTC Officiel mais HBOOT 1.03. Je trouve que ça rame un peu plus que la Vodaphone bizarrement tu en penses quoi ?

-----------

I'm french too and I passed a lot of time before succeeding with zergRush. I put a link to my tuto juste above.

I had the same config. as you ROM Orange 1.36 and I upgraded to ROM Vodaphone 1.64 then downgraded in HTC Official but HBOOT 1.03.

I find that the HTC Official ROM 1.30.101.0 is a little bit slower than the Vodaphone one, what do you think about it ?
[HTC Wildfire S] shich76:
Arf lol j ai du galérer pou rien alors :o ... merci quand même pou le tuto que j'ai pas trop du voir vu le temps que j ai passé a chercher :)

Sinon ouaip je trouve pas que l'amélioation soit vraiment significative sur la ram j ai entre 160 200 max de ram libre ... je trouve les menus plus fluides quand même que sur la rom orange mais bon la rom est nue aussi je n'ai encore rien installé :rolleyes:

Quand a la rom vodaphone je l ai pas vraiment testé du cou :p

Bugs for me :

- Suddenly closed apps

- Big problem with the radio, cannot register my sim to my operator

After I got back to 1.30, it works good again, so for my part I stay away of this rom ^^

Maybe a problem while flashing ?

[HTC Wildfire S] pewusoft:
I think it's worth noting here. I got an OTA upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 for my WFS. Unfortunately, something went bad and I ended up with no wifi and weird graphic glitches. Downgrading or reinstalling 2.3.5 by RUU didn't work, so I tried this solution, but it didn't work either, because gingerbreak does not work for 2.3.5. Here comes the best part:

I tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341162, and it works on my WFS!

Here's what you should do to temproot and go on with solution from first post:

1. Download vivid-root from page I linked above

2. unpack it and place file "zergRush" in the same folder as GingerBreak

3. push zergRush and chmod just like you did with gingerbreak

4. type adb shell

5. type ./data/local/tmp/zergRush and let it do its work

6. it will kill adb, so run adb shell again

7. now you're root. note: you can't "exit" to normal user (with $ prompt) in this exploit, but it isn't a thing to worry about - still you can do further instructions.

just remember to run zergRush again after reboot, not GingerBreak ;)

Now I have my WFS downgraded to 2.3.3 and I can install 2.3.5 again.

Good luck! :)

Delete the file from the SD Card.

Boot into the Hboot, connect your phone with the PC and activate fastboot. Now a red Fastboot USB should appear.

Use the command

(the img file is in the PG76IMG.zip file)

or you use my simple batch file. Download the Zip, unzip it and start the install_recovery.bat.

how do I know if downgrading will work?

How do I know if this downgrading will work on the HTC EU model with software version 2.13.401.3 to 2.13.401.2?
[HTC Wildfire S] Ping192:
My own Wildfire S has been unlocked and I never updated. I'll keep it that way.

But then...

A friend of mine never has rooted/custom recovery or wwhatever with his Wildfire S and like a "normal" user he updated to 2.13.401.3

I have tried the guide/tut on the firstpost to downgrade.

Instead of GingerBreak I used zergRush to gain through "adb shell" rootaccess.

I did the whole thing, copying misc.img, and modified it with HxD.

The strange part is, what version/number should I insert?

The copied (original one) has "11.33.401.2" on line 11, I modified the .2 to .0. (or whatever).

When I try to apply the RUU update, it says my flash utility is not good. And I tried several RUUxxxxxx.exe (europe) files. All give the flash utility error.

(I tried RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed and RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed)

If i DO NOT use this method, like simply apply an earier RUU update, it says that it can't find the phone...

So this method DOES something, i can't figure out what...

Edit: It has HBOOT 1.08 btw...

LOL I'm either very lucky or very clever, n somehow neither of them fit me hee hee

software s-off????

After spending 3 days trying to upgrade my hboot so i could unlock my bootloader, i somehow ended up with s-off! here are the steps i followed.

1) try updates from htcdev - didnt work

2) made goldcard, tried updates - didnt work

3) tried gingerbreak for temp root, failed, gained temp root using adb and zergrush, worked

4) hex edited the rom version number - didnt work

5) placed rom_2 on sd card - worked, sort of, updated the radio, but not the bootloader, "cannot rollback hboot"

6) placed rom_1 on sd card -worked, updated the radio

7) went into hboot to try to flash rom_2 again, voila! s-off!!!!

dont ask me if this is a way to s-off devices without xtc clip, all i know is it is what has worked for me, so i thought i would share.

Everything worked fine and as expected, until the reboot at the end of the flash. Now the phone is in a boot loop. When i turn it on, the screen backlight turns on for a second, after that turns of. Then on again, and off again... and so on. Unable to reach bootloader via volume down + power key.

Probably the Bionic. According to engadget, it will have full HDMI mirroring. Assuming this is true, it will be my next phone. (when it has been rooted, no much launch day buys for me.) If it isn't true, then I will wait till something has an HDMI out with a 960x540 or> display. As far as hardware goes, the TB is more than enough for what I use a phone for. I rarely ever use it for gaming. So, I really only want a better screen and HDMI. That is, if I stay with VZW. If I don't it will probably be the next gen evo.

Lol at complaining about the prices you guys paid. Not trying to flash my e-peen here, but I paid full cash retail from Verizon. I'm not bragging I was furious.

Got the tbolt for exploited bootloader and the 4g. Wanted to be grandfathered in unlimited.

After using it for a few months I can say that this phone is fantastic and ill be keeping this longer than any phone to date. I always switch to the new gimmick, but really the only things left are 3d and dual core or stuff like more ram and CPU power. I really can't think of anything I'd need better hardware for anytime soon since I don't do 3d gaming. In all honesty I don't think any apps are going to really push this phone to its limits. I honestly think the hardware advanced far ahead of our utilization of it. Its going to take some game changing software to up the need for better hardware.
