My discoveries sofar

Wildfire S EU version with following stats :

***UNLOCKED***

MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.09.0099

MICROP-0451

RADIO-7.57.39.10M

or

RADIO-7.54.39.28M

It is not possible to flash custom recovery.

Over the course of three weeks I have tried many different ways. Because the phone is 'just' bootloader unlocked it is not possible to use any form of .zip file using the SD card. So ignore all postings about:

- Goldcards

- PG76IMG files

- modified PG76IMG files made custom for Wildfire S

- CWM Rommanager

- fastboot flashing recovery.img

- Some Chinese site about flashing ROM without custom recovery

- All postings about Marvelc phones (apparently those CAN be customised)

- RUU updates (once you unlocked the bootloader the RUU you used tot do that somehow invalidates all other RUU's)

- All other forms of custom recovery files, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT WORK.

What CAN we do with out bootloader unlocked Wildfire S EU?

- Brick it trying to fastboot flash wrong kernels/radio's etc

- Get it stuck in bootloops

- Pull the battery out literally hundreds of times because we simply cannot accept the fact that we bought a HTC that cannot be S-off'ed through software

- We (probably) can get it S-off using the XTC-clip

What I DID manage with my Wildfire S EU

I did manage to bootloop it myself. I had to download a stock RUU and extract the recovery.img and system.img. (you can find these in the temporary folder the RUU.exe creates when you start the program).

With the stock image files flashed directly to my Wildfire S using fastboot at least I got my phone working again.

Now I am very happily using it 'as is' with HTC Sense 2.1.

We CAN however ROOT the phone using the HTC Supertool V3 by barbey.me using the Zergrush exploit. However I still believe while most of the functions of being rooted are available somehow we are not having full SU-permissions and that's what keeping us from using custom recovery.

And since I did manage to root my stock ROM I am very pleased that I can at least use link2sd. 150Mb of user RAM for apps is a little on the small side. But now I can install all the apps I want to the SD card.

What we NEED for our Wildfire S EU.

We need someone to create a custom system.img file which we can directly flash to our Wildfire S using fastboot. Maybe with that custom system file, we can use a custom recovery and in that way BEAT the SYSTEM!

(Unfortunately you would have to be a kernel-hacker elite to make it so and I believe kernel-hacker elites have much more interesting devices to work with than a Wildfire S EU).

Still a nice little phone though. :p

Well, gq455402012 did it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26346427#post26346427 with a ,,standard,, ROM which is rooted (Im using it now) and with cyn7 which is unfortunatly not working for me.

Anyway, thanx to writing this down, at least I stop the searching for a wokring method.

Hello @ll,

I have the exact same problem with recovery mod at exact same version of phone/software like arjanoost.

Then when I was in recovery mode, but the screen was blank, I found oit that the recovery mod actually works, just the display is not active.

I have seen a video where the guy went through the clockwork mod menu, so I have memorised that how many button pushs etc...

I have noticed, that when I boot to CWM with blank screen, and push the power button - the phone reboots, exactly like the default menu entry should.

Next after CWM boot, I have pushed the Vol_UP button twice - power off should be chosen, I have pressed the power button, and the phone went down.

Based on these info, maybe the Devs can fix the clockworkmod to work correctly on the wfs of this version.

Hope it helps (sorry for my Engrish ;))

Edit: So actually I managed to root my WFS via CWM 5.0.2.8 by blind :D

so after boot

1; 4 clicks Vol_DOWN

2; hit POWER

3; hit POWER

4; 2 clicks Vol_UP (make sure that your root.zip is the last file)

5; hit POWER

6; 7 clicks Vol_DOWN

7; hit POWER

8; wait a while, then reboot your phone by removal of batery

If the menu items was on same place as expected - you have a rooted WFS :)
[HTC Wildfire S] KelvinWild:
Well my phone is already rooted, but tried to make a backup with this method (learning the steps from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqgjjCZU2UE), but it did not work. I waited like 10 mins to make the backup (black screen ofc) then hit the POWER button again, so it should restart. But it didnt.

If this would work, i could install a costum ROM too.
[HTC Wildfire S] partizann:
Well I managed to get it right also just on 3th try.

Also the guy in your video is using CWM 4.x.x.x version and other phone, are you sure, that the entries are at same place in your version ??
[HTC Wildfire S] KelvinWild:
You are right. So de first option - the reboot - is must be the same, so after i select recovery, I just pulled the POWER button, and actually the phone restarted!

So now all I need to know how to reach the backup and the install ROM from sd card. Can you help me about this? I did not find any video where they backin up from recovery with the same phone and cwm.

Cheers
[HTC Wildfire S] partizann:
Im quite a newbie at android field - just bought my first android phone 3 weeks back, since then I was experimenting hard even to get the root.

So Im not able to help you with that (mby later :))
[HTC Wildfire S] baluuu:
I might be wrong but here are some points.

1. Im pretty sure you can flash custom recovery w/o SU if you do it trough fastboot so root acces is not your problem.

2. You could probably take a look at TWRP recovery there is a beta

3. Rezo609 i think was the guy nickname made pretty awesome all in 1 tool that can root your phone and flash cwm recovery.

And one more thing- sense is a great ROM so if you do have root access (im pretty sure you do) you can just look around and optimize it with some pretty handy apps from the market. I personaly dont see the point in having CM7(not moded) on phone that alrady has gingerbread but thats just my opinion.

Best of luck :)
[HTC Wildfire S] arjanoost:
You are right. After a while I realised that the ROM on my Wildfire S is actually pretty fast and easy to use. And the memory issue is still resolved by using link2sd on your rooted phone.

Still I find it very annoying I cannot try out different ROMS.

[HTC Wildfire S] arjanoost:
OMG, are people on the internet really this dense? Dear friends from India my phone is rooted. Yes it is, I can do all sorts of cool things with my wildfire S. The thing I cannot do, and that is the thing that annoys me, is flash custom ROMS!

It won't work! Not in any way. Rooted yes! Flash custom ROMS no!

I do not need help to ROOT my Wildfire S. I need help to flash custom ROMS.

But thanks for the effort anyway guys.

When I rooted my WFS GSM, the first operation was to install CWM to the recovery partition. You might find the first part of my post helpful (then again...)

[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
White screen Appears in 4 conditions...

1.your device is not properly rooted.(some rooting tools are failing with new Htc wildfires)

2.when a custom rom is ported and device is relocked by the user.

3.Recovery img is not installed correctly.

4.RUU updated is not correct.

In your case number one is applied i think.

if still problem is on try unlockroot (tool) with fresh RUU.

Dude, READ.

Anyway... OP, seriously, use Rezo's tool to flash CWM recovery, and flash any ROM of your choice from there. Works every time.
[HTC Wildfire S] Guitarfreak12:
With ROM Manager you can REflash Clockworkmod, maybe that works?:)
[HTC Wildfire S] jsthorpe:
You can flash CWM Recovery yourself using ADB.

[Kindle Fire General] NakedYoga:
I have had my Kindle Fire for a week or two and decided to try to play with it.

My main problem is that when I plug the Kindle into the USB port on my PC (running Windows 7), it will only recognize the device in My Computer as a regular disk drive. An entry for "Removable Disk F:\" drive comes up, but when I click to open it, it says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F:\)". Now, this didn't always happen. When I first got the KF, I copied a few ebooks from my PC onto the KF through the USB port.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this is happening. For some reason I think it has something to do with the drivers that Windows is trying to use with the KF. I've tried all kinds of combinations of rebooting the KF, unplugging/plugging it in, rebooting the PC, etc. Once or twice I have gotten to where I'm able to access it, but not consistently at all. I should also say that I did root it with KFU, and now I've installed Android SDK and ADB. It will usually recognize the device via ADB, but not always. I've also installed TWRP 2.0 and the most recent FireFireFire.

When I look at the properties of the device's hardware, it lists several things: Amazon Kindle USB Device, Android Composite ADB Interface, F:\, USB Composite Device, and USB Mass Storage Device (all under the properties of the Kindle).

Does anyone have any idea whatsoever of why this is happening? Possibly the drivers on the PC? I also read somewhere that some micro USB cables are cheaply made and don't work as well. The one I'm using is the one that came with my BlackBerry.

Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] dragon9324:
Try this

u remember when u downloaded kindle fire utility? and u use the run program in there? well there is another program in there called "install drivers" launch that and it should install the drivers for ur KF. tell me what happens

Edit: i just checked it is actually called "install_drivers"
[Kindle Fire General] NakedYoga:
I did that at the very beginning of all this.
[Kindle Fire General] chris_m128:
here's what I did and I have never had any problems with the kindle fire. I plugged my kindle in and then I went into device manager and uninstalled all the drivers for the Kindle Fire. The I unplugged my kindle fire and plugged it back in and let the drivers install again. Since then I haven't had any problems.
[Kindle Fire General] noahawesome:
mabey the cords a dud cord try a difernet one mabey and also try wiggleing the cord some times theres a break and if you wiggle it it may make the corect wires touch each outher again IDK? Just try it.
[Kindle Fire General] NakedYoga:
Before I buy a new cord, I'd like to explore other alternatives. Also I don't know if I really understand how the computer could only "partially" recognize the KF. When I plug it in, the computer instantly recognizes that something is connected -- in My Computer, a new removable drive pops up as soon as I connect it. It just doesn't recognize it as a device that I can transfer files to. That's why I thought it was a driver issues, but I've installed the drivers that came with KFU.
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
I used to have a Samsung micro-usb cable and it worked beautifully. Then I bought a Sony Ericsson cable and it weirds out on me sometimes.

I suppose BlackBerry has good standards but still, if its old, try a new one.
[HTC Wildfire S] kmbarreiros:
Hey people,

Figured I would just start my own thread.

I have a Virgin Moble CDMA and it seems to be hard bricked.

With no battery in the phone plug in the USB cable to Windows computer unit vibrates 3 times and nothing more. Computer does not recognize that there is a device connected.

I created a gold card and placed the img file (Bare minimum to fix tripple vibe brick on USCC or VMUSA) from Simonsimon34's thread on the development area.

The SD is placed in the phone plugged in the USB get the 3 vibes and nothing else happens. I have tried waiting and then pushing the volume up to see if it will vibe again....it never does.

I know I am in what is referred to as "Qualcomm diagnostic mode" I have search and can not find anything helpful.

Any other ideas would be great.

[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
I had this problem in the past.

Run the RUU found here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c4e..._1.25_0815_PRL61007_release_219164_signed.exe

It will be a slow download and you may need to try a few times.

Close all open applications. Run the RUU, but stop at the screen where you are able to choose to view the Read Me. Go to Windows Explorer, and type %TEMP% and pick the top one. Find "rom.zip". Move that to the desktop. Format your SD card (FAT32). Rename rom.zip to PG76IMG.zip. Put PG76IMG.zip on your SD card. Then hope it works.

If you're not running Windows or you have other problems or it doesn't work, I'm sure the problems can be resolved.
[HTC Wildfire S] kmbarreiros:
Thanks for the quick response. But I have already tried this.

I should have mentioned that.

Kevin
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
So you did Simon's method and the RUU method?
[HTC Wildfire S] kmbarreiros:
This is basically what I did..let me know if I am missing something.

I first tried what I believe is Simons method:

1. Took SD connected to computer.

2. I then used Simple Gold card v1 to create the gold card.

* I already had my gold card image from before when the phone was still working.

3. I then placed the PG file on the SD card.

*I've tried both the PG file that I got from the temp folder that the ruu creates and I also tried the PG file on the Simon's developer thread ( the one labeled for 3 vibes)

4. Put the SD card in the phone, then connected the USB to the computer.

All the phone does is vibrate 3 times.

I then tried the RUU.

1. I installed the HTC synch software on the computer

2. Connected the phone to the computer also.

I have tried both with a gold card and a freshly formatted SD card.

3 I then run the RUU.... All I ever get is a USB error stated to make sure the phone is connected.

[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
When you powered the phone on did you hold the volume up and press the power button at the same time?
[HTC Wildfire S] kmbarreiros:
Yes I have.

Ok, just a thought...
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Alright, I had this same problem with my VM Marvelc. I had to send it in. Don't worry. They won't be able to check to see if you've modded because your radio and hboot are totally trashed. They should just send you a new one. (If you have a warranty of any sort.)
[HTC Wildfire S] kmbarreiros:
Unfortunately I doubt that I have any warranty, I got the phone from a relative who got it at the Elan show(payed $100). It was there X-mas show, she came home with a pile of electronics (tv, android tablet, this phone....). The phone was never activated, I was just about ready too.

My wife isn't too happy that I bricked it since I can't really afford to get another one.

I've spent about a week on it and from all the research I have done pretty much any phone that is in this state either the thread just ends or they get the phone exchanged.

I sent an email to HTC but they want me to call, I'll just try to play as dumb as possible.
[HTC Wildfire S] kmbarreiros:
Well I ended up calling HTC, come to find out my phone is still under warranty even though I bought this from relative. Looks like they just go by the serial number.

Thanks for all the help, I'll be back once I get the new one.

Kevin
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Awesome. And if they ask, what happened was that you were waiting to do a FOTA, but you decided to do it. After the FOTA, this problem is occurring. (Don't tell them you were messing with ROMs.)

I just wiped my phone and installed an updated version of my rom (EVO 4g and Mik rom). I used the default messaging app to make a backup of all my txt messages. Did my wipe and install. After booting back up I used the default messaging app to restore all the messages. Looks ok in the default app, but in handcent, it's showing me the oldest message first and I have to click on 'show earlier messages' to see the newer messages.

It's got them all marked with the correct dates. Anyone have any idea how to get it to display them correctly with the newest messages displayed on the bottom and clicking 'showing earlier messages' will pull up the older messages, not the newer?
[HTC One X] RocknTroll:
The fix isn't showing on my unbranded unit purchased from the UK.

Could someone please tell me if...

A) the update resets the device to factory settings?

B) bluetooth now works while internal storage encryption is enabled?

C) the phone storage is no longer wiped during the process of enabling phone storage encryption (which is separate from internal storage encryption)?
[HTC One X] ChriKn:
Hy !

What I can tell for sure is that the update doesn't wipe your phone (as for every update on previous HTC phones in my case)

For the rest... waiting to see what the updates will bring on the Custom Roms :P

Not sure what to call it. I've been using the skinniest bumper cases that I can find* but still hate using a phone with a case on at all times.

Saw this on Gadgeteer (I think) the other day & decided to order one. Found out through the confirmation email that they aren't actually shipping till May (grr!)

Hoping it won't interfere with my car mount & that if I don't like it, the adhesive will be easily removed. Which reminds me, need to look up replacement battery covers in case it doesn't, or in case I want to "switch" it out depending what I'm doing that day.

Anyway, looks promising to me. A way to safely hold the phone without the added weight & thickness of a case. Wondering if anyone saw their video - and if you haven't, try to look past their odd editing to the actual product.

* - Still trying to find the lightest, skinniest bumper case made that can easily be taken off for my car mount.

I have been using a linux 2.6.29 kernel with several changes for my hardware and I have been using it with Android 1.6 so far, now I would like to jump to Android 2.3.

As Google released Gingerbread with kernel 2.6.35, I am wondering if that version is required or it is just a matter of device driver availability.

Is it possible/feasible to use a older kernel version like 2.6.29?

does Gingerbread require a specific new version kernel feature? if yes, what?

!!Ventanas!!
[Android General] Naria9:
It depends entirely on your device, because it is largely about the drivers.

If you were talking a major Kernel version bump it could be an issue with the general software as opposed to the hardware drivers, but with that small of a jump, you would just need to make sure you could compile the drivers for your phone against that kernel version.

It's just like Linux on a computer, really.

I can go up to ice cream sandwich with 2.6.29 so no gingerbread doesn't need 2.6.35.

Many things that we have on the SPRINT side of things are disabled or limited BECAUSE SPRINT ROM's have certain things which other ROM's do NOT and therefore, sometimes limit our abilities to do things... At thesame time, disabling/changing these settings give us almost unlimited usability :eek: ... jejeje

Anyway, when sending MMS, SPRINT DOES NOT HAVE A LIMIT on the network :eek: (like AT&T has, VERIZON too) but they put limits on THE PHONE itself which causes the "LIMIT" to appear to be a NETWORK issue...

BUT ITS NOT
