Download recovery.img from here

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...mod-buzz.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13443207215501

Rename to recovery.img and place in the folder with fastboot.exe, adb etc. inside it. Shift+Right Click inside the folder and choose "open command window here". Then reboot your phone into HBOOT and select FASTBOOT. Connect your phone to your computer via USB. In the CMD window, type fastboot flash recovery.img. Once it finishes, you should have a working recovery.

[Wildfire General] Igoritza:
usaff22 thanks man, But I managed to find the solution last night :)

I was so annoyed with it, so I ran revolutionaty again, and when it prompted for CWM again, I sayd - Yes and it was all ok.

funny fact - when starting Revolutionary console with S-OFF already on, it says:

You already have S-OFF, what are you trying to do ? do you want CWM maybe .. ? < I got really scared last night, Like the Neo chatting with Trinity! :D

Now im using CM7, everyone is talking about Oxygen but hey, this is just a temp phone, and CM is great, I never actually used CM on any device even though I changed 100 roms on different phones, and I must say that I am nicely suppprised!

Awesome guide
[Wildfire General] :
Bravo!!!...great guide---i need only to flashing a rom....what about cm 7.2.0 is it stable a 100%?....wokrs everything?...do you suggest it?...thanks a lot.
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
it's a good starting point, if not the best, except you're interested in keeping sense. I suggest to give it a try to get an idea about your rooted Willy. Furthermore you may want to have a look at custom mtd partitions. They'll give your limited hardware a boost (link on my Sig). Have a look at some ROM threads in the development section. You'll quickly find out if a ROM may suit your needs.

Just for completeness: almost all gingerbread AOSP/non-sense ROMs there are based on CM7 ;)

You need to use the fastboot method of flashing clockwork recovery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680

i will be trying out this method tmrw when i get THE PACKAGE but I have some confusions regarding some steps mentioned here

i want to know when i have to put my Micro SD card back into my phone if i have a card reader?

and

the steps for Debranding are only dealing with SD card?? do i have to connect my phone during DEBRANDING??
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
That Goldcard method is needed to downgrade the bootloader (which has to be done in order to get s-off). You could look at it as making your sdcard a master unlock key tool. The debranding is just a side effect of the bootloader downgrade. The sdcard is nothing more than a "tool" in this case. Does this make it a bit clearer?
[Wildfire General] siddbari:
okey somewhat clear but still i have confusion at which step i have to put my SD card back from card reader to my phone?

OR

can you give me detailed steps for debranding by using SD Card Reader as the steps given in this method are confusing as those are for both having SD card reader and mounting phone as stoarage

You can mount the phone as storage OR use a reader. It depends if you have a reader.

You can use the guide to root HBOOT 1.02.000, yes.

probably a corrupted file? Which ROM did you try to flash?

--- EDIT --- looks like your recovery does a signature check which leads me to the question: what recovery do you have installed? In order to flash custom ROMs you need to flash a custom recovery if I'm not mistaken - this thread also describes how to that. Have you done so?

I'm not sure what step 2 you're referring to? Do you mean after the complete procedure?

help installing custom roms

hello everybody. i tried to root my 2 yrs old htc wildfire, but nothing seemed to work. so i followed the method to unlock bootloader mentioned on htcdev site. i successfully rooted my phone with unlockroot. but now the problem is, i cannot install any custom rom.

bootloader: unlocked

S-ON

HBOOT: 1.02.0000

android version: 2.2.1

software: 2.25.720.4.

i am not a developer. so please help me out here...
[Wildfire General] usaff22:
Why did you use HTCDev? You just voided your warranty.

Since you are S-ON you need to flash the boot.img after flashing ROMs.

i was already out of warranty period so no issues der. i was successfull in rooting the phone but unfortunately i cannot install cwm on it. i tried a lot of methods mentioned on the net but nothing seems to work...

In that case, rename the recovery image to recovery.img and then flash that. Usually those errors are because you typed the line wrong or the cmd window doesn't understand the dashes and hyphons.

Hi.

Everything worked fine until step 15. I successfully downgraded my HBOOT from 0002 to 0001.

Step 15 also is completed without any warning/errors.

For testing this, I rebooted the phone and inserted a different SIM card into it (I was not sure if I needed also the rooting). It says "Network lock" as before the downgrading, and it can't be used. :(

I also re-run step 15 (completed perfectly).

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, are you S-OFF? CID check means your phone is carrier branded and won't accept the Rom.zip as it is for unbranded devices. What step is fastboot flash zip rom.zip? I can't find it on the tutorial.
[Wildfire General] Clownfishy:
Hi,

Many thanks for the response. I am S-ON at the moment as I thought this process would also turn this to S-OFF? Being new to all this, I do not understand the carrier branded reply, I "assumed" that this process also de branded the phone. Does this mean there is nothing I can do with this phone?

The fastboot flash zip is the command in step2.bat file, line 15.

Any help would be gratefully received as this is the first time I have attempted anything like this and so far my experience into phone ecosystem is one of frustration!

Then scroll down with vol button and when the arrow is on recovery , then press power button

This will take you to recovery mode

It would be something like this

*blue screen

Apply update.zip

Wipe factory

Wipe cache

Install zip from sdcard

Etc..
