All I can say is that my phone had no ROM listed for it either yet I was able to unlock the bootloader by carrying on from the step after the ROM update section and it worked - some ROMs are already unlockable and that's why you can't find the RUU on HTC dev

Select the right ROM for unlocking the bootlaoder

Dear,

This is my phone's details (using in Afghanistan);

Android version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense version: 2.1

Software number: 1.35.720.3

According to and-roid.ir 720 (Software number) is for India. This is what I found for my phone;

(Carrier) HTC Asia India	(ROM) 2.13.720.1	(Model #) PG7610000

Should I download the above update to my ROM? or I'm good to proceed?

This is the list of all RUU downloads in .txt file. You can check them if you think "HTC Asia India" is not right for me.

I Guys i cannot get out of this hell. My girlfriend got a Wildfire S A510e:

PG76100

Marvel PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT- 1.09.009

MICROP-0451

RADIO-7.57.39.10M

I followed your guide htcdev website, got the file via email and succesfully unlock the bootloader, which i thought was the most difficult thing to do. But i was wrong!

Now i flashed the clockworkmod recovery to the device, but when I get to the Hboot and go to recovery i get a black screen and the down button light up and stuck there. After some mins I reboot the phone it goes to the OS and send an error page to HTC. I can use it like this but cannot finisch the process to flash a custom Rom

I'm stuck here. I think I'm very close but cannot understand why cannot flash recovery...

Please it's been 8 hours working on this problem but no way to solve.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
It is possible that you may have a 2012 Wildfire S. Those are the most problematic. You need to flash a special recovery, modified for these. Plus you cannot flash CM roms. Only sense based or stock roms.

OMG Guys, nothing to do. With the stock rom from the Italian Carrier Tim it's quite unusable, instable and veery slow.

Anyway. I got to the "http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager" website downloaded the latest version which for Wildfire Marvel is:

"HTC Wildfire S 5.0.2.8".

Downloaded flashed via windows prompt but nothing. The prompts says:

But when i try to reboot in Hboot and going to recovery to flash the root.zip still stuck to black screen with buttons ligh up. No changes :(

Since your WFS is a 2012 version, it can't flash CM roms. Only sense roms. So, that's the sad part, but our sense roms aren't that bad. Try Wildchild.

[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
your software version is 2.26?

if yes you dont need ruu cz your hboot already upgraded just skip that upgrading part.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
And if it isn't 2.26.XXX.X then you need to create a gold card. You need to lock your boot loader in case it is unlocked.

All instructions are in my 'Upgrading / Downgrading HBOOT or Radio' tutorial. Just search it in general section.

[HTC Wildfire S] leto78:
The WFS is driving me nuts...

I was unable to update the HBOOT with the RUU.exe because it gave the error 190.

I was able to overcome this by applying the latest ROM using the adb shell to flash the WFS.

However, the HBOOT update is bypassed during the update and it remains on the 0.90.

After that, I was able to apply the RUU.exe downloaded from the htcdev website, but the HBOOT remains the same.

Naturally, the get token command does not work with this HBOOT.

I was able to use an exploit to get temporary root in the adb shell. I don't know if this would help in updating the HBOOT.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
what is your wfs android version ?

if it's 2.3.3 you need to get factory upgrade to 2.3.5 then bootloader will be updated then you will be able to unlocked it.

go to settings>about phone and check updates if not found.factory reset and try again.it ll sure upgrade your android to 2.3.5
[HTC Wildfire S] leto78:
I had the 2.3.3 but after solving the error 190, I was able to apply the 2.3.5 RUU.exe downloaded from the htcdev (HTC EU).

However, when I start the bootloader it still shows the 0.90 version, even though it gave no errors applying the RUU.exe.

Hi all, learning alot here, although I'm way past my limits of Pascal in high school in the 80's. I've read though this thread and searched and haven't come up with an answer to my dilemma. My situation is that I tether and use my WFS A510a as my internet connection. I live in the bush on an Indian reservation so it comes in handy, faster than smoke signals and no fibre-optic here yet, lulz., I'm wondering if it's possible to follow the steps at htcdev, locate, copy and paste the indentifier token text and then exit the cmd terminal to retether my connection to submit the device token to htc. Could I then retreive my email and follow the steps again to finish the process? If so, what would be the steps to do that?

Ok, success!! no issues with getting identifier token, re-tethering and submitting to HTC. If anyone else has similar question, contact me and I'll let you know how I did it.

whats that mean where should i paste it?
[HTC Wildfire S] Kryspus:
bottom

You probably have same problem like me with drivers.

Open device manager in PC, then start bootloader in yor phone and chose fastboot by presing once power. You will see in your device manager that show up "android 1.0" with no driver ( i dont know why that have place..)

Now click on the Android 1.0 in device manager (missing driver) and chose "serch my computer..." then "let me chose...." and you should see list of drivers to use. Now you have to chose driver named "My HTC" with no trusted certificate and instal it.

If you do it correctly, in your device manager it will be look like:

>Android USD Devices

>....My HTC

Now you will be able to see your phone in comand pomp, cmd.

And now, one step after, its another problem where i stuck.

I mean "paste it at the bottom of the page"... Where is that bottom?? I understand it shoud be send by e-mail somwhere?

If somone know what to do now pls help me ;)

Basically you're just updating from the SD card instead of through the USB cable. He's extracted the ROM right from the RUU so it's merely a change of install method, not a hack.

The necessary HTC drivers come preinstalled with the HTC Sync, don't they? Or is there something else we need to install in order to get the RUU update working?

In fact, I was facing the same problem when upgrading from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 (RUU 2.13.401.2). I didn't wait for the OTA update... So the official RUU by HTC didn't work for me, unlike an extracted version of the .exe, provided by user miguelca back in the day.

The tutorial at [HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU might do the trick. This is not a hack. All it does is change the install method from USB to the MicroSDHC card. The file to download in step 1 is extracted right from the EU RUU.

IDK how much that would help.

TIA for and reply, I would really like to get this thing rooted for my daughter cause she can't even run an app without running out of memory.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
That must be a CDMA, I can't see TMO US there, just UK. We already have a software s-off solution for the CDMA phones. Just search around and you'll have root in no time. Also, this is better than the bootloader unlock since there's more modification available in S-OFF. Unlocking the bootloader is like Semi-S-OFF.

Enjoy the root. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] linsalata28:
No its GSM but thanks for the reply.

Has anyone got this method of semi unlock LOL to work on the t-mobile gsm wfs?

I would rather have s-off but this would be better then nothing.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
There's nothing for TMO US on HTCDev, you could just try upgrading manually, i have a tut in the general section, check it out and use the Branded phone part of the post.
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
What do you mean by "semi unlock"? Do you mean updating the HBOOT so you see *** LOCKED (OOW) *** and can proceed with the steps at htcdev.com? Have you tried updating the HBOOT manually via [HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU? I have an Asia GSM phone (A510e) with the same part number as the European phone (PG76100) and I'm still running 2.3.3. My HBOOT is now successfully updated. ;) If your phone is an A510e/PG76100 (look under the battery) it should work fine for you as well.

BTW, my original HBOOT version was almost the same as yours: 1.03.0000 and I'm running 2.3.3 like you.

I can help you with one of your problems this should help every one else out to. As of 1\4\2012 T-Mobile USA is now doing 2.3.5 ota rom update. I did this a afew days ago. just go to about phone and htc software update. To get the rom. They will be pushing it out untill the 17th. The rom number is 2.17.531.1

as I understand it the phone must be running 2.3.5 for the boot loader to be unlocked. I have checked a few times on the htc dev web sight with that rom number and nothing is listed. I have seen no workaround. The people that do try simi bricking there phone, and end up having to do a full reset.

I guess the htc dev will not release the RUU. untill all ota update end. If there is a work around I have yet to see or read about it any place for the wildfire s t-mobel gms usa phones

first update to EUR 2.3.5 and then use ASIA RUU.

(before updating to EUR 2.3.5 you are not able to use ASIA RUU)
[HTC Wildfire S] vctrdnl:
Just a little extra information:

If your computer is running on Windows 7 (mine is Professional 64bit) you are very likely to get a 171 Connection error when trying to update the RUU (bootloader). I searched for a solution, but nothing worked: turning off the Antivirus software, the UAC, running the RUU.exe in compatibility mode, etc.

The whole bootloader unlocking procedure worked like a charm on my old Win XP SP3-based PC. So, if you have spared your old computer's life and you get the 171 error, try this solution out. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Doesn't matter, worked like a charm for me on win 7 x64.
[HTC Wildfire S] LaMüSe:
For every who see in terminal <waiting for device>, people founded the solution:

1. Download archive (Send me MP for it, i cant post...)

2. Uninstall htcsync and all drivers

3. Install manually the driver in archive (Search in Adm. drivers by name Android Composite ADB Interface), upgrade.

4. Next, reboot pc.

5. Try again, and is perfect ;)
