Thank you for this tutorial,it works like a charm ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] :
I've tried the two methods but didn't succeed. Probably because i'm using a mac with windows vm. When using the exe file, the process suddenly stopped.

Using the zip folder and running the htcupdater, I got a message battery empty.

But battery was almost full.:confused:

Can I use the rom.zip file, rename it to PM76IMG.zip and put it on sd card and boot?

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
I don't know about the renaming and mac part though, but all I know is HTC Sync is windows only. Maybe that's the issue. Can some Mac pro come and solve his problem?
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
You too, you've helped me a lot!
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I tried... :p

We all should thank Football for providing us with the [ROM]Shipped Marvel ROM Collection in the first place. :cool:

Without him this wouldn't be possible.

If we all help each other just a little bit, the world can be a much better place. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
We all must thank him for his ROM Collection.

That's some famous guy's quote isn't it???? xD
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
You just made me ROTFLMAO :D
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Quys its running!!!:D:D:D:D:D

Almost done!!

Will soon post tutorial:p

Happy!:):):):)

And it works haha me happy!!

So i did it with the rom zip, renamed it to PG76IMG.zip.

Put in root of sd card. Start up device with voume down, power and then follow instructions!!

Found my way thanks to this tutorial: RUU install
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
What's running? : o
[HTC Wildfire S] schlex2010:
Have a vodafone branded device (germany).

The Goldcard Generator isn't available I think so, right?

Is there another method to update the device?
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Is this a ported ROM by any chance?
[HTC Wildfire S] schlex2010:
Now the Goldcard Generator is online available and I do the update.

NO Vodafone branding anymore... :)

Thanks a lot for your work !!
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Nah, just an official Euro rom.

Has anyone tried the temporary root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342288 ? I did, it worked but when going in titanium to delete crap apps, it just freeze and reboot the phone... I wanna do that for now, i'll install official HTC ROM later.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Temp root is as good as nothing. And it wont delete the factory installed apps. So, no point in trying.
[HTC Wildfire S] Royal King:
Cannot update :( Says CID failed. (via rom mode)

and via PC mode, it says:

What should I do? :(

I tried the link you gave first but that said 170 (USB connection) error so I downloaded the MU link you gave. After starting the ARUWizard.exe I get the above errors :(

I'm using HTC Wildfire S A510e
[HTC Wildfire S] Royal King:
Ok, so I think I had to use the Gold card. I got my phone via HTC and not via any carrier so I don't get it why I have to use it. Now my main question is:

I was using a 16 gb MMC before but I was kinda scared as I was creating a gold card for the first time. I also had a 2gb MMC with me. I created that as my gold card. Now after my software has been updated I wanted to ask if I can switch back to my old MMC again or no?!?!

Or I'll have to create the 16gb MMC as a gold card?
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Error 131 means that you need a Goldcard.

No doubt about it. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] bilke82:
I have been carefully observing my battery life for several days now. There is no extended battery life whatsoever. I guess I'll just have to life with it. However, after updating it the new ROM the phone is significantly faster and has appreciable more free space with the same amount of Apps as it has had before
[HTC Wildfire S] ArjanK:
Could anyone give me directions as to how to apply this update using Mac Os with HTC Sync for Mac Os X installed?

My WFS is S-On and Carrier Free...

I already tried putting the PG76IMG.ZIP file in my SD root and then installing it via HBoot but it stays on 2.3.3 and does not give errors when loading and checking the ROM file.
[HTC Wildfire S] :
You cant use your mac (i've got a mac too). I've used my own method with the zip file. The only thing I can say is, try another SD card (2 GB). Maybe you can take a picture of your screen when its checking for the file. This way, we can help you more.

I repeat what you have to do:

You have to download the zip file from my thread. Rename the rom.zip inside it to PG76IMG.zip and use that file.

Hope it helps.
[HTC Wildfire S] ArjanK:
Aha, so do I have to unpack the file i've downloaded? That would probably clarify a lot

*Found it! Renaming it and uploading it to dropbox so i can stick it on my sd..

btw, i find that when connecting my phone to my mac it completely goes unresponsive and the screen flips out.. pressing the bottom buttons causes the top of the screen to respond.

**Done! I'm on 2.3.5 now! Thanks to everybody involved!
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Royal King, you can safely switch back to your original 16GB SD-HC Card now.

The goldcard only needs to be inserted in the phone during the update process.

Maybe you should keep that 2GB card aside in case you need to do another update in the future. ;)

P.S. You needed a goldcard because this is an European RUU. The phones sold in India have a different ROM and as such a different CID too (Customer ID) ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] :
is this for the GSM or CDMA Version. I have s-off so if i try without knowing, it will deffinately brick my phone if its GSM
[HTC Wildfire S] ArjanK:
This is GSM! It's based on the European Rom and therefore GSM as there's no CDMA in Europe
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
I believe it's GSM my friend.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Gsm Rom, this.

*sh*t I'm gonna change the title now lol
[HTC Wildfire S] andymet87:
Many thanks to everyone for sorting this out. This ROM is much better than the factory o2 version!

I know it may seem obvious but one point you may want to add to the first post is that once the goldcard is made it must be put in the phone before you run the .exe file. For some reason (, I obviously wasn't thinking, ) I didn't the first time and got the 131 error. It might mean the few idiots like me don't then have to worry about what the 131 error is!

But let me reiterate! Thankyou everyone!

(...and lets hope HTC unlock the bootloader soon for some custom ROMS to be used on our phones!)
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
They won't. They e-mailed me saying that the Wildfire S (Marvel) will NOT be unlocked by them.

So, find an XTC-Clip near by, or wait for the devs to see if they can do anything.
[HTC Wildfire S] andymet87:
Bummer.... I'm currently half way through an email conversation with HTC via their support page and they haven't provided me with a clear answer like that yet!

Maybe it would be something that BBC Watchdog could look into...! Anyone with a bit more experience than me in the android side of things like to fill in their form???

UPDATE: I have just recieved this from HTC....

"We do not have any schedules of which devices will be unlocked and when.

You have mentioned that you will continue to reply until you get an answer.

Quick question as this is a HTC official rom will the warranty not be affected. Just asking as this could help the lack of internal memory on wife's phone and I know she will ask
[HTC Wildfire S] locke06037:
This worked for me, created a gold card and run RUU, now I have 120MB memory free. Thanks for this post!
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Just to clarify, warranty will NOT be affected. Also, this ROM has cleared up hell lot of a memory from many phones which updated it.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
I don't think Bell Canada will honour my warranty on a Euro ROM update. :P
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
It's an official update, warranty should not be affected.

Cheers for the reply should make her a bit happier knowing that
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
Thanks.

Just updated my UK T-Mobile Wildfire S (didn't say which model number pre-update, but now is saying it's the A510e) yesterday. Backed up with "my backup", made goldcard, updated, restored, and it's all good. Had to re-link some contacts etc, but didn't take long to get it all back in order.

Previously, I had to uninstall most apps, and even uninstall updates for the apps that came on the phone, like facebook updated version, updated youtube, etc....and still only had 40Mb left on the internal.

Currently, I have all updates downloaded, a couple of widgets, poweramp music player (for gapless playback, even from my standard mp3's....most of the time anyways :p), guitar tuner, tube map, and a few shopping apps like amazon and paypal etc....after everything i wanted on there and all updates (including 10mb of google maps), I still have around 70Mb free :)

now things actually run smoothly, it syncs things when it's supposed to etc.

battery life doesn't seem to have changed much, it lasts the whole day, as it previously did.....but considering before it would rarely actually get through any syncing processes etc, and now it's syncing regularly as it should, tis is probably why it's not made much difference (I imagine that if i change the sync settigns now, my battery life could be immense).

All the bloatware that was on my stock T-Mobile ROM is gone :)

The new lock screen is kinda neat.

Did initially have the problem where it would glitch on the first attempt to move software to SD....but after taking the advice in the thread and backing up, re-formatting the SD (I used a program just called SD formatter to do a full overwrite format), then copying everythign back, the issue has been resolved.

I can move apps freely from sd to phone and back without issue, and i've just installed an app from the market (QRDroid) which moved to the SD on first attempt.

Can't say I noticed any improvement to the overall running of the system, since it was running pretty smoothly before...but very happy to have the updated software, and all that extra free space....my "smart" phone finally has the freedom to be "smart" again, instead of being cluttered and trapped by worthless apps that I never asked for :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

So I'm successfuly on 2.3.5 and memory etc all good.

but in doing so and debranding my phone, I have gone from an A510b to an

A510e.

This in itself is not an issue, but i seem to have lost my message service from my provider. Telstra Australia.

Can I somehow reflash it back with the branding to get it back but keep my other upgrades?

Update, sorted it out, incredibly on telstra your phone call fwd MUST be off to get the message bank....

So all great now, glad sorted n glad updated!
[HTC Wildfire S] CreativeNerdSam:

You can root 2.3.5, but i don't know about the s-off going away.
[HTC Wildfire S] mobilephone01:
Thank you for an answer.

How do I root?

Sounds like I need XTC-Clip.....
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
If you already have s-off, you're halfway there. Just run gingerbreak and it will be rooted.

If s-on, you need xtc clip to make it s-off.
[HTC Wildfire S] bishnabob:
Sorry for my abrupt post before, but the branded link is broken. Does anyone have a copy of the file they can upload again for me please?

Also, I'd like to ask a few questions about this..

This is an official HTC update to the software on the phone, right?

Does it remove the branded applications? Does it remove anything? I'm really fed up of having the "Orange Wednesday" application there!

How can I update this whilst still S-ON? How does that work?

Is this actually worth the hassle?

Cheers for any answers I can get!
[HTC Wildfire S] pinussen:
Doesn't the first post answer your questions?

I like this one better than 2.3.3 which i had before. Mostly because it has more free memory after installing the same amount of apps. Nice lock screen too.

Only problem is the wheather app can't be set to autorefresh now and the icons at the top are a bit wrong.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I'm sorry pinussen but I updated to 2.3.5 and the Weather application can be set to autorefresh. :confused:

Just go to Settings, Accounts & Sync, Weather and choose the Update Schedule you want.

You can also open the weather application, go to settings and choose Update automatically. The update schedule is right below this setting.

I can assure you it works because I use this. :D

I hope this is kind of good news for you. :p

About the icons you're right. They're 1 whole pixel column misaligned. :(
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Links fixed, sorry for the delay! :)
[HTC Wildfire S] pinussen:
Strange, when i check settings, accounts sync i see that weather is set to 3 hours refresh. But if i start weather and go to setting from there, the download auto and update frequency is greyed out. It doesn't seem to autorefresh either.

Edit: never mind, the general auto sync for the whole phobe was turned off :) fixed now...
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Great to hear at least one problem is fixed. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] mobilephone01:
Back to the first question. My device is S-off and rooted.

but You don't know S-off stay or loose after upgrade?

If I lost S-off. I need XTC-clip.
[HTC Wildfire S] invisibleelvis:
thanks for letting me know, i'll be sure to promote this thread on my youtube account
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Yea, i'm not sure whether u will lose s-off or no.

I'm using a Sim Free unbranded Wildfire S I had 25mb Free memory when I updated via OTA last night, I've now got 20mb Free and I'm only running on stock apps and everything is up to date except for Google Maps that drains my memory big time, how have people managed to get 70mb of free memory with this update and everything up to date?

Roland
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Roland, I already replied on the other thread where you asked the same. :p

Anyway here it goes (again). After updating to 2.3.5 I used the following instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218923

This way most of the apps I installed went to my SD-Card automatically.

I suggest you uninstall all your apps, do what's on the above link and reinstall the apps.

Be careful because some software that you don't want on your SD (because of the widgets) will land there. You will have to move one or another app back to the phone's memory. ;)

The big difference is that you've updated OTA, with a lot of software already installed.

When we flash the RUU we start from scratch (it wipes our phone).

No apps installed and that's the best moment to run the nice command that is on the link. So a big part of the apps installed after, will end up using external memory. :)

Hi greyhoundz16,

You can follow instruction as described in page1 section "Non branded phone"

and here's what I did

1. download filefactory.com/file/c0ac...747_signed.exe

2. connect the phone with htc sync

3. running exe file which downloaded at point 1,

4. while verifying information on phone, got Error message "error 170 (USB connection)"

5. Then as explained by SomeDudeOnTheNet, I use the file from here megaupload.com/?d=NETNLZD0

6. Unzip it to a folder or your hard drive and run ARUwizard.exe to update your phone.

Thanks again to SomeDudeOnTheNet :)

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Nice, finally updated.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
You need a Gold Card because this ROM is for the European version of the phone. It's almost like your phone is branded to your country instead of a provider... ;)

If you had a RUU for your region you wouldn't need to create a Gold Card.

Good Luck! :p

its stuck at the sony erricson boot screen, and the flash tool is reporting the phone has usb de bugging turned off, so i guess it wont let me re flash the firmwear

cant thank you guys enough.

i was actually trying to change my os when this happened. from froyo to gingerbread. the version i downloaded used md7?? (i am new to all this and dont fully understand) but my phone was looking for md5, something like that.

got the fun job of rooting it again now lol.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Flashtool?

- Grab it, enable USB-Debugging on your phone, connect it to the computer.

- Press "Ask root perm" and keep an eye at your phone - you need to confirm a superuser request.

*Achievement unlocked*

- Press the now unlocked "xRecovery" button to inject xRecovery

And remember that you can also root your phone from Flashtool.

PC Companion... Update Service... Hah!... Useless crap since we got Flashtool... Sony Ericsson doesn't release any more updates for the X8 anyway, so it's kinda useless as the Android drivers can be installed manually without the need to install PCC or SEUS.
