hey bro how did you unlocked your phone......I haven't updated my phone to 2.3.5 and hboot to 1.08.....do I've to update my phone in order to unlock and which ruu to choose......can u tell me step by step...etc.....I'm too from India lol...
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Hey logout! If you haven't updated at all, you could go to htcdev.com, choose vodafone india if u use vodafone, if u don't u can choose htc asia india. Download it, and install. Once done, you should see a ****LOCKED . (OOW) **** on the top of your HBOOT. If you see that, continue from the ruu page onto the actual instructions. (There's a button below the ruu list)

Once done with that, download WFS Manager by eoghan, root and install custom cwm. Then go on to flash whichever roms you want.

how to Unlock Bootloader with Software number của e là 1.35.707.3?help me

is it safe all this for our phone? obviously im noob to all this :D
[HTC Wildfire S] nootered:
Long time no see ...

I recently purchased a WFS, and now I am trying to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev. Unsuccessfully might I add.

I login to my account, hit the Unlock Bootloader button, select my phone. It tells me to login, so I do ... and I do again ... and again.

It's a never ending loop. Anyone else have this issue, or a possible solution?:confused:

Try clearing your cache in your browser?

[HTC Wildfire S] nootered:
Those were my thoughts exactly, I will try it on my laptop and see, it still doesn't work after performing a clearing of the cache etc.

I was able to install 2.3.5 using the steps in another thread, however, so I am good to go for now. Next I will look at getting CM7 on here.

Thanks for the reply.
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
If you got to 2.3.5, just update your hboot to 1.08.0099 for htcdev method. Then you can root, install cwm, get cm7 like me, etc.

Before you start, make sure you have the Android SDK files and JRE stuff downloaded and installed. Otherwise you'll sit and watch your battery die as you try to download these huge files and install them. (These are shown at the upper right of the HTCdev Unlock Bootloader pages.)
[HTC Wildfire S] tamtam_s:
Since I have updated the hboot and get the code from code, There is no problem with usb communication. So htc sync or android development or jre has no issue here. Obviously wfs responds under 1 seconds and battery has no issue. unlock code does not like the answer from the phone. Thats the issue and I wonder what is there reason.

[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
It's best if you know your HTC brand first (EU, Asia, etc) by downloading antutu benchmark > information > brand. Download the RUU based on it. If the RUU is not working, try load extracted zip files from the RUU.
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
Look at the back bottom of your phone. There should be a code of your phone model. E.g. 7600xxx EU. That's the RUU you should use. You may also want to try using antutu benchmark app to know the version.

If you failed running the RUU but you're sure that it is the correct RUU. Try load zip ROM files found in your PC temporary directory while running the RUU. If you use HTC EU, there should be rom_01.zip and rom_02.zip. Rename rom_01.zip into PG76IMG.zip and put into root of your SDCard. Go to fastboot to allow it installing the zip. After that, repeat for rom_02.zip. If everything's fine, you should see on top of final fastboot screen: LOCKED (OOW). Make sure you finally remove the PG76IMG.zip

If this is helping, please click thanks. :)

Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Forget using RUU. Try flashing extracted zip rom files from the RUU instead

And this reflashing helps me how?

I already flashed hboot from htcdev.com via RUU and it went fine and i have phone with hboot that says LOCKED (OOW).

[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
CWM does not require root.

Flash it once you have an unlocked bootloader.

Remember that when you do a nandroid backup your phone isnt even booted up into android at that stage so CWM has no idea if you are rooted or not.
[HTC Wildfire S] sgiitk:
This thread is also catering to many newbies, and a lot of people using htcdev for the first time. As it is dealing with both CDMA and GSM phones there are variations. Let me try and clsrify a few points:

1. If you have an open (not vendor locked) GSM phone then a S-off and roots should be straightforward with mostly no hiccups.

2. If your phone (GSM) is vendor locked then the ROM will be an issue.

3. If you are on CDMA again there may be problems.

I will appreciate if some of the 'gurus' confirm this analysis. Also, outline the process for the first category. In India the majority of phones belong to this category, and I have a feeling that we may be getting unnecessarily scared. I have got a wildfire S, updated to 2.3.5 but an myself getting confused, and so have not yet picked up the courage to S-off and root it. Earlier, I had done my Dinc2 (CDMA) using AlphaRevXBeta with no fuss.

Have you actually flashed clockworkmod, is your bootloader unlocked.

Is this being unlocked via htcdev. If so reread the instructions as you have either missed a step or need to do some more steps. Have you been sent the unlocker binary file from htcev yet?

No and no. I was trying for a full backup prior to S-off followed by root, etc. Any way of the full backup. I have backed up apps etc, using AstroZIP_ file manager. Is this Ok.

Thanks @dtreelf; by posting the list you have solved my problem - which ROM to download. Only the question how to take a backup remains.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Hi,

You need to unlock bootloader first, see htcdev.com. once done then flash clockworkmod and take a nandroid backup.

Taking a full backup via clockworkmod, or similar, is the only way to get a full rom backup, ie a full phone backup.

You cant get s-off on wildfire s without xtc-clip but htcdev unlocks bootloader which lets you flash clockworkmod and roms.

Managed to root it and get going - thanks to Scott & Sukhjit.

The Astro backup worked like a dream. Only fly in the ointment. I was getting Error 172 (twice). What I did was rather silly, went into htc sync and then tried again. It flashed like a dream. The rest was plain sailing, except BSNL settings from the SIM card are a joke, so had to set them afresh, bsnlportal, bsnlwap, bsnlnet, bsnlmms. The jokers have just taken the settings for south and west regions by replacing the zone by north and not the different set altogether.

Note added on 17 Feb 2012:

Have managed to install Titanium Pro etc. A few minor issues

i. I still have to install recovery. How to you flash an img file? Else is the latest CWM available as a zip.Then I can copy it in and let it flash it, or can the img file be put in and then CWM made to flash it.

ii. I faced this last week also. All of a sudden it seems to lose the signal. Even said no SIM once. A power off and on seems to get the signal back.

iii. I have to remove the battery in order to make it enter the bootloader. Interesting to see Bootloader Unlocked with S-ON (no OOW at the end of it) at the same time.

iv. Was surprised to find Devanagri fonts (for Hindi, Marathi, etc.) missing in an India specific model. Have put the fonts in using ES File Explorer.

Note from 18 Feb 2012

The zip file did not install, giving CIC error (tried twice). So I used the batch file from the YouTube video (file is at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1796779/CWM_Recovery_5.0.2.6.zip) by unzipping the file and then recovery.bat) to fastboot /flash the image into the system. Again I had to first get sync going to connect the mobile. I may try my hand at Link2SD one of these days.

Morning all...

I've finally sat down to try and dot his to my phone and am having a slight issue. (I've tried searching the forum & thread but to no avail..)

I have version no 2.13.401.2, the RUU off htcdev says I need to have 2.13.401.3 for it to run.

1) Would I perform the upgrade via my goldcard?

2) Should I perform the upgrade as there are warnings all over the internet saying not to!
