Could you root successfully? There has to be superuser app when you restart rom. If you rooted successfully, download ROM Manager from Market.

Open app, Flash CWM. Select Wildfire S. BAM! CWM is installed, that is, the latest version 5.0.28

Delete the P76IMG.zip from SD Card then. Check if you can enter recovery.
[HTC Wildfire S] LapakCZ:
No I couldn't. Acording to rooting tutorial, I need CWM first, and then launch rooting script in CWM. Now I noticed, there is some one-click software, but it requires S-OFF. I'm stil S-ON, just unlocked, will that work?

---

Update: So the super-simple one-click app realy rooted the phone (which really made me laugh :) ). So thanks for pointing me that direction!

Existing CM7 Install

I have s-off and running a nightly rom from a few weeks ago, I partitioned my SD sd card and installed app 2 SD or data to sd and hav loads of storage which I was after.

If I want to keep my apps, data and and current SD card partition option what do I need to do in ordered to update nightly Rom's on a regular basis

Oh I'm rooted , Titanium Backup, rom manager and flash recovery in place.

I'm hoping its just load zip in root of sd card and flash through rom manager, is it that easy ?

Hope u can assist.

Cheers

Oh wish I'd had this info prior to do it blind for the first time, got it working tho.
[HTC Wildfire S] LapakCZ:
So I finally managed to get CM7 working, maybe I can help you with updating this tutorial, as some things don't work anymore with newest firmware...

Steps, which worked for me, at start I had S-ON and 2.13.401.2:

1) Somehow get 2.13.401.3 (which is only one supported by htcdev). Some say, that OTA update worked for them (classic update via menu in phone). It didn't worked for me, so I used RUU update from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074445

2) Then htcdev unlock thing work fine, as you write in your tutorial.

3) Rooting was quite different, because current version of CWM can't be flashed via HBOOT, as it's version is too old.

So new rooting and recovery method, which is actually much more simple and work:

3a) Root the phone via this crazy one-click software: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436426

(I still can't believe, that it was that easy :) )

3b) Restart phone, then go to market and download ROM Manager

3c) In ROM Manager, click the first item: Flash Clockwork Mod. It will do it's thing, and It's done. You have root and CWM installed, without even going to HBOOT. Cool right? :)

4, ...) The rest is same, as in tutorial on first page, so continue with step 3> there... (don't forget to backup all the time :) )

Hope, that will help...
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
1. Download the newest cm7 you want to flash.

2. Boot into recovery. (you can do this through rom manager but it is easier and better to do all things through recovery)

3. Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache ( dalvik is under the advanced tab)

4. Install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd. File should be in the folder marked download.

5. Choose the cm7 file and install.

6. Reboot

7. Flash Data2Sd Reinstaller from Recovery (you can find it in mindhacker's thread) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432259

8. Reboot

Always backup though, this process is tricky. Works for some, not for others :)

Thank You for the suggestions and bringing that to my notice. OP has been updated. Much appreciated :)

Need some help here,

I recently followed these instructions, then somehow, all my contacts on my sim were wiped. Now, I can't even add contacts and put them on sim. Any help? I can call and text just fine though.
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
Is it a CDMA or GSM phone ? Also, always backup contacts on your PC or laptop.

Contacts. Export to SD Card. Save the psc file safely.
[HTC Wildfire S] mangoberri:
GSM-that's why there's a SIM.

Well right now, I can't do that because whenever I download an app from the market to copy all my contacts to sim, it tells me that my sim is full or locked. I never put a sim lock on it though..
[HTC Wildfire S] BvOBart:
Then my first guess would be that it's simply just full... How many contacts have you currently got on your SIM?
[HTC Wildfire S] mangoberri:
None, that's the thing. It doesn't show any contacts when I want to import/export them to SIM, and I can't copy any to SIM.

Then follow the steps from 7> Wipe stuff.

Finally, I get CM7 installed and running.

Thanks you.

Thanks for your very clear tuto. I have followed it but I did a mistake and I don't made reset factory and wipe cache.

Now, after the reboot I see the CM7 logo over and over again and no start.

Can you help me?

[HTC Wildfire S] DocHofa:
First of all this is a very great howto even for beginners - thank you for your work.

I tried this starting with unlocking my Wildfire S by using the htcdev.com method - this worked. Trying to root my device with unlock root doesn't work for me. It ends with "Failed to get shell root!" I tried on 32 and 64 bit Windows 7. I think the drivers are installed ok, because "adb.exe devices" shows the device serial number.

Has anyone tried this on a HTC Wildfire S (Provider is A1 Austria) with this configuration?

HTC Wildfire S

My HTC Wildefire S (PG76240) was successfully rooted with a CWM recovery image, as described here. Some additional notes are below.

CWM recovery SUCCEEDS

Tried flashing a CWM recovery image as suggested here. This didn't change anything. It turns out the attached recovery.img isn't any good for my phone. So, I downloaded the right one from the ClockworkMod site, and it worked like a charm. Note, when step 2 says "You may wish to backup current ROM", I did this successfully -- it's an option from within the CWM recovery image.

System

Before all of this, I did an HTCdev unlock. This got me:

Software Information shows;

Android version: 2.3.5

HTC Sense version: 2.1

Software number: 2.17.531.1

The PC is WinXP SP3 (32 bit).

Various failures

UnlockRoot 2.3, HTC SuperTool v3, and SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0. In case somebody else runs into the same, I've detailed below.

UnlockRoot fails

After clicking "ROOT" in UnlockRoot, it successfully identified my phone in the "open devices" dialog. I selected it there, and then it went through a couple of other quick steps. After 15-20 seconds, I get an error in a small window titled "Attention!", with the same text on the last line of the log. In the UnlockRoot directory, there's a log.txt that contains:

==============================================

Kill adb server
Starting adb server...

Waiting for debug mode...
Failed to get shell root !

NOTE: Before I tried with HTC Sync running. Disabling HTC Sync got me further (as above), but didn't get me root. Instead, I had a different error:

HTC SuperTool fails

Tried zergrush and tacoroot, first separately then together. They failed. zergrush looked like it worked. tacoroot just exited immediately back to the menu. After zergrush, attempting to get permanent root looked gave the shiney "ROOTED" report, but only after reporting a number of permissions errors.

SuperOneClick fails

It just uses zergrush, too. So it failed in a different, more verbose, but still not useful way.
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Question

Regarding the crazy one-click software,

it says there "Unlock Root 2.3.0 ( Superuser )"

Is that the Android version? Because mine is 2.3.5

Will it still work to my WFS? :confused:

Nevermind. Found a solution.

Boot / splash logo loop

Hi,

firstly, thanks and great job on the guide and the huge amount of work you must have put into creating this rom.

However, I have a UK Wildfire S s-on with unlocked bootloader and root.

I can flash the ROM using CWM and all goes fine then during boot the CM7 logo just loops endlessly (left for at least 10min)

I can recover to stock, which is fine, but really want to try this out. I have a partioned SD card.

many thanks agains.
[HTC Wildfire S] naznaq:
Bricked!!

Hi,

I followed ur instructions and after installing cm7 everything was cool. As soon as I installed the Gapps zip and rebooted my phone I got a green android logo and instuctions to click on it I then get an error message saying the anroid keyboard error and am promted to click force close. This kept happening and I could not reset via recovery mode.

I then tried fiddling in recovery mode and formatted every option available i.e. system, data, etc and now cannot turn my phone on at all. I can get into recovery but it cannot find any files on my SD Card - what should I do?

I am about to try flashing the RUU again via fastboot usb connection but if I do get back to switching phone on and flashing the CM7 rom again, can I get by without flashing Gapps???

My original reason for doing so was I have the wildfire s and its internal storage is rubbish. I managed to partition the SD card and use link2Sd to trick it into a 2gb storage capacity however after several downloads I get to a 'package file invalid error' over and over again. I thought CM7 might be able to help me with this.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Works Perfect

Hi this tutorial is perfect for a noob to get started.

I followed all the steps except one. For rooting I didn't go for the Unlockroot software but did it by installing recovery via fastboot and then flashing root.zip via recovery as given by Heritz.

This was quite simple without any bugs.

any way Ive done it and given you thanks. That's it

:D

But it would be great if you could help me clearing my doubt regarding the bluetooth Ive posted it in the General post Please do help me in solving the issue.:confused:

[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
Err.. they list a pretty old version of gapps for cm7, is this correct?

We cannot use the newer gapps (cm9) versions on cm7?

And I've read CM7 needs a linux >= ext3 partition (and a optional swap), I don't see this step in the tutorial...searching for optimal 1MB aligned partition scheme and sizes for a 16GB card...

This looks reasonable http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490607&highlight=partitions

Does the bootloader and kernel need a active FAT32 boot partition or can we delete the FAT32 partitions? FAT32 is a crap fs anyway.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26069798&postcount=1

Well, acceptable, but I will use ext3, ext2 has no journal (data loss on kernel crash) and ext4 is too new for my smell.

Problems reading the zip file

"Here is a guide for you guys to install and flash the latest version of CM7 on your Wildfire S devices. "

Very useful, much more helpfule that the CM forum!

I have a LG p500 Optimus One running 2.2.2. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to upgrade it. I have the LG V20G rom, but reading the reviews it did not seem like a good idea.

I have downloaded the LG P500 cm 7.2 roms from CM. All of them! And copied them to the root of the sd card on the phone.

I have gone thru every step of the guide, and it did what the guide said it would do.

Until the point where it said 'choose zip file from sdcard'

It selects it ok, then says:

Installing: /sdcard/cm-7.2.0-p500.zip

Finding update package ...

Opening update package ...

E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-7.2.0-p500.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I have tried downloading the zip files again, reloading it to the sdcard, same result

I have tried using each one of the nightly updates, same result.

I have reinstalled ESFileExplorer and GingerBreak, re-rooted the phone, tried again, same result.

Am I doing something stupid? Is it me being (bad)?

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

The ones that I was watching showed an error message popping up, and to then look in the device manager; I got an error message once but thought it was wrong and then kept trying to replicate it, but no error message showed. I just hadn't thought to just look in the device manager, and when I did, there it was! ^_^
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Not impossible, just improbable, if you attach the phone with something which operates at a file-system level you can brick it. Granted with NV flash, we can NV flash CWM back on and we know we can flash a baseband, so there's not much else which we could access that we could permanately screw-up which can't be unscrewed in some fashion.
