Hi,

If you can not find a solution for your method of getting the token, you may try another method that worked fine for me.

1) Search for HTC Wildfire S All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 post.

2) Read carefully the whole post.

3) Uninstall everything related to HTC (HTC Sync, USB drivers, everything).

4) Do not use USB hubs or USB 3.0 ports. Enable USB Debugging at the phone settings and plug the phone directly to an USB 2.0 port without the SIM and SD cards (they may be erased while unlocking). Choose the Charge only option in your phone.

5) Proceed with the tool steps (select the step and click on 'go')(in useful links there is a link to a step by step guide):

a) Install the drivers.

b) Register at HTCDev (this is already done).

c) Get the ID (beware, you will see and empty command prompt, close it, and a second command window will appear with the token)

d) Submit the token to HTCDev.

e) Get the Unlock_code.bin file from your e-mail account.

f) Unlock the boot loader.

6) Once you have finished, I recommend to install the clockworkmod recovery with the same tool. Download the right version GSM or CDMA from the Clockworkmod official site. Beware: make sure that you download the right version for your phone. I think yours is GSM, but I am not an expert, sorry. It may be fatal if the wrong version is installed (brick). Choose the option your own recovery in the tool.

7) Create a backup before doing anything else.

8) You are ready to get a permanent root or install a ROM.

I hope this helps you. Feel free to ask any question. Regards.

I think you are doing wrong with the c: android step you should first "cd android" and then enter "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
Thanks for your continued time and assistance csoulr666. It's taken me a while to reply because after having no sucess having followed your advice, I decided to delete EVERYTHING and IT ALL FRESH, monitoring all downloads as they happened and ensuring I followed all steps and instructions PRECISELY, in case I did something wrong the first time around 3 months ago!

And following your recommendation I retried using the full path when typing both commands and it still didn't work. I'm not sure what you meant by "........your device is being recognized using "fastboot devices"???"

However, as you've mentioned "fastboot", I think I've identified an issue with the fastboot binaries from HTCdev. Please see my new post below.
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
aWFSuser- thank you for the advice.Yes, I do use the c: cd \Android command first, everytime I try the cmd process, even if it's after somthing silly like removing the sd card from the phone, putting a new one in (to render the "as disk drive" option available in the "USB connection type") on the handset, changing the USB port I'm using to a different one etc.

But thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
Thanks so much ukyo_tachibana.

I will try this method, if I have failed to identify the issue correctly.

After having the problem of being unable to obtain my identifier token for so long, (trying now for 3 months!), I've been looking for a way to unlock bootloader & root- that works for the Wildfire S WITHOUT having to use the "get_identifier" process.

THANK YOU for this method!
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
I'm attaching a zip with the files I use for this stuff............Extract them in a folder, use the "cd" command to it and then try to obtain the token
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
***csoulr666

Yes!! Thank you for the files. HTC's MUST BE corrupt, as your's have worked a treat & also. they behave differently ( "fastboot" application) when <highlight/right click > is used!! No error message! THANK YOU for your files. ***

They worked & after three months and hundreds of hours research, I HAVE MY TOKEN!! You guys are BRILLIANT!

However, there is a new issue, perhaps you can help with this also...

I copied the token exactly as HTC stated on their website. I started at <<<Identifier Token Start>>> & ended with <<<IIdentifier Token End>>>.

There are 18 lines in total- 16 lines of alpha/numeric sandwiched between the above 2 of text.

Both of HTC's examples also have the same line-count (18 in total 16 + 2) & layout as mine.

But when submitted, the website rejects it and the following error is returned:

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

I've spent most of last night on this. I've tried logging in and out of HTCdev, copied and pasted multiple attempts (busy web traffic perhaps). I have cleared browser cookies/cache & history in case it's something like that. Counted and recounted my token in comparison with their examples, in case I made a mistake somehow. What am I doing wrong??.

Also, today when I tried the cmd get_token process, I got a different token i.e. a completely different set of 16 lines of alpha/numeric text. Is the token different every time it's requested?

Thank you all for your expert help
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
see whether you have copied the code correctly as instructed at HTCdev
[HTC Wildfire S] ukyo_tachibana:
Hi,

The token seems to be different every time you retrieve it, I don't know why (maybe someone can enlighten us :)).

Regarding the token copy/paste. At the command window: right click, select mark, draw the rectangle enclosing the <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>> and <<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>> (this also includes all the alphanumeric token), right click again to copy. Now, paste it in Notepad, PSPad or any other text editor, and make sure that there are no white spaces, tabs, or any other special character, such as this example:

<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

If you select previous lines, there are no unwanted characters, check it. Once you are sure that everything is okay, submit the token to HTC.

I hope this post helps you. Regards.
[HTC Wildfire S] ukyo_tachibana:
By the way, two comments:

1) Note that unlocking HBoot is a destructive process, you will loose everything in the phone memory (similar to a factory reset). Besides, the SIM card and the SD card may be also erased, so remove both before starting.

2) If you want to install a custom rom, you don't know which one to install yet and you want some help, I can suggest one that has been working like a charm for more than one year in my Wildfire S. It is based on the last stock rom, but with several tweaks to overcome the limitations of the terminal (amount of RAM, internal storage, etc.). Do not hesitate to ask.

Regards.
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
BRILLIANT!!

I followed your recommendation- copy to notepad- there were white spaces:

Note: the <right click/copy> function was not available in cmd prompt.

I had to "mark" and then ctrl & c to copy.

I had spaces at the end of each of the token's lines.

Thanks. Token successfully submitted- just over ten minutes ago. Awaiting an email back from HTCdev with an unlock key and link for Unlock completion!

I assumed I'd have it instantaneously...but I'll be patient; it's taken this long to get this far...what's a few hours? more.

I have not given ANY thought to ROMs etc.

This part of the process baffles me.

This all began three months ago when I got the Wildfire S- my first ANDROID phone- and I noticed there are loads of pre-installed apps on it, many of which I have absolutely no interest in: like Peep, News & Weather, Maps & tons more via: Applications>Running Services>All. TO MY UTTER AMAZMENT I could not delete any of them!

Call me old fashioned but I would like to decide what I put on my phone and have total control over them. On this phone certain apps would start up of their own volition i.e. when the handset was powered off, then on; gather information and data; all without me even using/ activating them e.g. Google services/ Facebook. I could stop them manually, but like I said they would reassert themselves on start-up.

I'm unclear yet exactly what I can safely get rid of without damaging my handset, I need to do research I know, as some processes may be vital to the phone's operation, but I have been consumed with this first basic step- Unlocking the BootLoader.

Ideally, I would love to start with an empty phone- just the basics: calls/messages/phone book/ calender/ alarm facilities with a browser.

A normal, basic phone.

Any extra apps I am then free to decide upon, install, set permissions (where possible) & remove as & if I choose.

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you get the unlock binary file? It should take no longer than a few minutes (or even less) to send it to your e-mail account. Did you successfully unlock the HBoot? Let us know :) . Regards.
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
Hi ukyo_tachibana,

Thank you for your ongoing interest. I appreciate it greatly.

I have been checking my email address all night last night, and also today, awaiting my email from HTCdev.

No! As yet (over 24 hours later), I have not yet received my response.

HTCdev's site confirmed that I successfully sent my token when I did. I remained logged in for a hour and a half afterwards, just so the site would notice/ remember me. Sounds daft, but I really want this episode to finish now after all this time. I really thought I had cracked this step!

The web page said to expect and email with my unlock code and a link to directions to help me complete the process.

Now, over 24 hours later, I still have not received any communication from them. I check my email address- the one I used to register with them and, in late December of last year, communicate as to why I the "get_identifier token" process was not working- ever hour or so for the file & link. So I'm sure the site has my correct email address.

I was actually wondering what to do now as I'm unsure as whether I should wait X amount of time, contact them via the "contact us" option on their web site or resend a token to them and risk confusing the process. Basically I'm just playing the waiting/ unsure-of-next-move game.

Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] ukyo_tachibana:
Hi,

Do not despair :) . The token should be send to you in question of seconds (but in order to be safe wait a few minutes, no more than 5 minutes). The email sender should be something like HTC-Unlockbootloader@htc.com and the subject should be The key to unlocking your HTC Device (at least, this is what I received).

I would:

1) Search for the email in any other folder than the Inbox, such as spam. Your email provider may have archived the message in a different folder.

If you are not able to find the message:

2) Try to find your email white list and add htc.com and htcdev.com to the list, in order to avoid that emails from HTC or HTC Dev go to the spam folder or are erased.

3) Check that you activated your account. Register at the website is not enough, you also must activate your account clicking on the link that HTC send to confirm your email address. I know that this question is a bit stupid, but it just to cover all the possibilities that I can think about.

4) Get and send again the token.

I hope this helps you. Regards.
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
I have my email now.

Before I proceed, as I'm a complete techno-novice, I was just looking into how to create a full back up of my stock ROM, in case I decided to pass on the phone later I can return it to it's current out-of-the box condition- with all it's apps etc. Also I need to be clear on the root process files. I don't have the original SD Card. I have two to hand though- a 2GB & 4 GB.

Step 1- Unlock BootLoader.

REALLY, REALLY NOT sure of the rest:

Step 2- download CWM Recovery from (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/) 5.0.2.8 for the Wiidfire S to my PC.

?Move to SD Card

?Hboot>Recovery>chooseCWM and there should be an option to "Back-Up/ Restore"

?Select this option and "Back-Up". Wait for stoc ROM to be copied onto SD Card. When it has this is the back-up phase complete

As I understand it this will give me a re-installation disk type set up for my current ROM.

Step 3

?Find and download a file to my PC called "Root Zip".

?Transfer it to my SD Card

?Hboot>Recovery>choose file and it roots the phone itself.

Step4

?Find and download a file called "SuperSU"

?Move to SD Card and install.

??This gives me an app called "SuperSU" which allows me now to modify my phone how I like it to be- prevent apps starting at boot/ remove any preinstalled ones that I don't want or do I need to install a custom ROM?

Thanks,
[HTC Wildfire S] ukyo_tachibana:
Hi,

After unlocking the boot loader, this is what I would do:

Get the SD card and format it. Use the SD formatter 4.0 application (official tool from the SD consortium to format SD cards, google the name) and always switch on the format size adjustment option. Never format an SD card with Windows or Linux for using it in phones, cameras, Wii, etc. Always use this tool or the device itself for formatting. If you don't have a SD card reader, connect the phone with the SD card inside to the PC and select the Disk drive option for mounting the card.

Step 2 - Install recovery

2.1) As you said, get the CWM recovery from the official site. If you are from Birmingham, you need the GSM version (the one that is not CDMA, which is primarily for USA). Beware, if you install the wrong version, you will brick your device.

2.2) Install it. You have a few options: a) follow one of the methods explained in post [TUTORIAL][ROOT] Root Tutorial + CyanogenMod 10 for the Wildfire S (marvel) (sorry, I can not post links), b) you can use the tool I mentioned a few posts ago HTC Wildfire S All-In-One Toolkit (advantage: really easy and you will not need to deal with the command line, disadvantages: ads and you will not learn how to use command line :) ).

2.3) As your phone did a factory reset when the unlocking was performed, it will be advisable to completely clean it now before finishing. Do the four wipes:

HBoot->Recovery->wipe cache partition, wipe data

HBoot->Recovery->Advanced: wipe battery stats, wipe dalvik cache

2.4) Make a backup (usually called NANDroid) of your cleaned factory reset phone. HBoot->Recovery->Backup. The backup may take a while and it will use around 300MB.

Step 3 - Install SuperSU

3.2) Get the file SuperSU.zip from a XDA thread and copy the file to your SD card. Search for a thread called [Root App] Superuser v3.1.3 Final & SuperSU V0.93 latest Flashable Zip. July 13, 2012, but do not install both apps, it is one or the other. I have installed and used SuperSU, and it is working properly.

3.3) HBoot->Recovery->Install zip file from SD card (search for SuperSu.zip).

3.4) Your phone is now rooted. In your description you were trying to do twice the same with root.zip and SuperSU.zip, and that is wrong as far as I know.

Optional Step 4 - Backup

4.1) IMHO, I would backup at this point, where the process has finished, and move the previous backup (point 2.4) to the PC just in case I would need it.

4.2) Reboot, and enjoy being root :victory: .

Once you are here, come again and we can discuss about getting rid of the unwanted apps (there is more than one option).

I hope this helps you. Regards.

**Thanks ukyo_tachibana for everything.**

The file for CWM I downloaded won't work as it's IMG file. Browsing to find the best program to open it. Got 3 options IrFanView32, Paint Shop Pro & CoreIDRAW. Doing some research on each now.

Where Is the tool from HTC Wildfire S All-In-One Toolkit V2.1? I can't see a link to Hasoon2000's HTC Amaze 4G All-In-One Kit.

The only link I found was under the screenshot and that brought me to a download called WinRAR? It's the only download I can see on the thread?

Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] ukyo_tachibana:
Hi,

For installing the CWM recovery:

Option a) The thread I was talking about is located in XDA forum at HTC Wildfire S > Wildfire S General > [TUTORIAL][ROOT] Root Tutorial + CyanogenMod 10 for the Wildfire S (marvel), go to STEP 2, RECOVERY INSTALLATION and follow METHOD 1, VIA PC.

Option b) Sorry, it seems that XDA shutdown the user Hasoon2000 account and removed the files for making these All-in-one kits with ads, so I think it is better to do not post any link. Besides, I am also a new user and I am not allowed to post links.

But, don't worry:

1) Download the *.img file.

2) Copy this file to the folder where you have the files that [MENTION=4155053]csoulr666[/MENTION] gave to you (adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc.).

3) Open a command window in this folder.

4) Connect your phone via USB and switch to the Fastboot USB mode as you did for getting the token.

5) Execute at the command line: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, where recovery.img must be replaced by the img file name of the CWM recovery file you just downloaded.

Do not try to open the img file, it is a binary file for the fastboot executable and your smartphone. 'Nobody' else will understand.

I hope this helps you. Regards.
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
I have been following the brilliant advice on the threads: [TUTORIAL][ROOT] Root Tutorial + CyanogenMod 10 for the Wildfire S (marvel) {thanks iH8ra!n} combined with [Q] Widfire S: Can't obtain Identifier Token {thanks ukyo_tachibana}.

Thank you both for easy-to-follow, concise directions.

I've completed the back-up stage.

(iH8ra!n)- 3.1 Boot into Recovery (Bootloader,Recovery), select "backup and restore", enter with power button and select "backup",you're now doing a "Nandroid Backup"!

(ukyo_tachibana)- 2.4 Make a backup (usually called NANDroid) of your cleaned factory reset phone. HBoot->Recovery->Backup. The backup may take a while and it will use around 300MB.

The advice now is

(iH8ra!n)- 3.2 After it finished, take out your Phone's SD Card, and plug it in to your computer with an micro SD Adapter.

If you do not have such an Adapter, select "reboot system now" in Recovery's Main Menu, and connect your phone via USB cable. On phone's SDCard, go to clockworkmod > backup, and pull it into your created folder!

The problem is this:

As I don't have a micro SD Adapter I have to use the other method to get to the file.

So, I selected Reboot now (from Recovery I think, as opposed to power off and then on). The handset rebooted- I had to complete the initial set-up steps e.g. select carrier, auto sync or manual, internet connection carrier or WiFi, associate with an email account etc. you know the ones.

Anyway, once it was on, I went to:

HTC main menu>All apps>Settings>Applications to get the back-up file.

It's not there: there is no file listed on the card nor the application clockworkmod- as indicated by iH8ra!n's 3.2 above. Is my understanding of the process correct?

My full procedure was:

HTC main menu>All apps>Settings>Applications>..I clicked Manage applications (and then checked via Running devices & Storage use)- on ALL the "On SD card" tab says "No applications". HOWEVER: all register the SD card tab as:

263 MB used 1.6GB free (stats at the bottom of the tab screen)

I should say that after I installed CWM, but before I did my Back-Up, I did the wipes recommended in ukyo_tachibana's step 2.3 of a couple of posts above. Following this, once again I did not power off & then hold volume and on- instead I clicked the back option in Recovery to the main Recovery Menu and proceeded to create the Back-Up. Would this of interfered with the subsequent placing and naming of any files created??

Is the back-up file actually present on my phone, judging from the SD cards stats, and should be accessed via another way?

Or, perhaps the process just didn't complete properly & I need to do a complete wipe i.e. Factory Reset & wipe SD also, then repeat the CWM & Back-Up process?

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] GERJDOY:
I've run into a little issue:

I've Soft brickked the phone- totally my own fault, formatting things to start again SD card/ and whatnot. IDIOT!!

On normal power-up it's stuck on splash screen (white backgound with green 'HTC') {info thanks to: [Tutorial] Unbrick your softbricked HTC Wildfire S by vbhtt}

I can still HBOOT.

CWM is still working Recovery.

Using the excellent threads on here (once again THANK YOU XDA Members), [TUTORIAL] Debranding & Installing Official HTC ROM by XaKing/ lynuxlover via NEED Wildfire S A510e Stock rom by bqeli:

I've managed to get the shipped rom that closest matches mine via shipped-roms.com.

Just looking to find a thread that can tell me how to flash the phone via PC through Recovery without SD card. None of the other phones in the house- iPhones- support micro SD, otherwise I could transfer to SD via aforementioned phone/ insert to HTC & proceed from there (I think this is the Gold Card method?). So I have to find a way to flash via PC only.

Tried following the thread: [Guide] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device by member CafeKampuchia

When I try to run the Marvel InstallScript setup Launcher it can not verify information on the phone as I get error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. Obviously as the PC cannot see the phone whilst in HBOOT/Recovery

May have to start a new Question thread, as I'm stumped after four and a half hours solid research. Thanks.

Hello fellow OmniROM useres, I am using Omnirom on my international SGS4, always latest nightly.

But since yesterday I have this weird error message whenever I try to install an app over PlayStore

even though I have more than enough free space, as you can see here:

iDOTimgurDOTcom/AVXjoi1DOTpng

I've alyready tried everything I could find on this error message but it still won't install anything.

Looking forward to a hopefully quick solution, many thanks in advance

[Omni Q&A] Manic87:
Hey

I had the same issue some time ago. I couldn't install new apps or update older ones. I couldn't even download anything.

I don't know why this happened or what the cause is. What did the trick for me was a complete re-install of everything.

Do a full wipe. Not even the os should remain. Install the latest os. Install all apps from the play store and restore your app data.

After that everything worked again.

I hope this helps you too :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.R.F.S:
hi

i am want ask if i install rom cid: htc__001 on this device cid: BS_US001 will be work or she is don't compatible ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Fist of all, no need to start another thread for this, you should have posted this HERE

And the answer is NO. If you want to flash a HTC__001/PN0710000 rom you need the same CID and MID of the rom

CID mean Carrier ID and sometime called Cell ID or Country ID, its basically a kind of carrier lock / region lock.

so your phone have BS_US001 CID and PN0712000 MID, that mean it software (.1540 base) is intended for US market (brightstar us developer edition) and compatible for Model PN0712000

HTC__001 is for EMEA region (EUROPE, MIDLE EAST and AFRICA) and its sw base is .401 and compatible with model PN0710000

The only way to install a rom with different CID/MID is the achieve S-OFF and then modify your CID and MID.

BTW all those informations can easily be found on this forum if you search a little. Here are some threads you should take a look at:
