[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lo2ay:
I hate to stir up the peaceful quit environment on the HTC Wildfire forums, but here's the problem :D

I've restored my old -still working- Wildfire to stock using an Arabic RUU. I need the phone to have Arabic language.

The problem is that the ancient Android Market won't update to Play Store automatically. I know I can just install the Play Store apk (Which works, I've tested it). But I want a way for it to auto-update as I'm going to sell the phone. Any ideas?

I just hope someone somewhere will open the Wildfire sub-forum and see my question :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hey man, whats all this noise in our quiet forum? :p

I don't know if this will be any use to you now but if I was you I would just install it manually and sell it. At this stage it is very unlikely that google will update the play store for gingerbread devices so any version that works is probably fine. your could always download one of the old gapps packages and remove any apps you don't want and then flash it from recovery to see if it helps but I don't think it will make much of a difference.

Now, back to that sweet silence :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lo2ay:
Who said anything about gingerbread?

It's on Froyo with the official ROM ?

Ironically, it's faster and more stable than CM7. The buyer of this phone is an elderly man in his 80s (my grandfather ?), I wanted the phone to be as stable as possible for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I installed the Play Store apk and gave it to him. It's very unlikely he'll do anything like uninstalling play store updates or formatting the phone. So all's good ?

Now back to peace and quite!

Hi to all, I'm trying to root my phone but I cannot. I tried all the one click tool without success, so I tried the Magisk boot.img. I've allowed Bootloader unlok in System Settings and I rebooted my phone in fastboot, but when I try to flash the patched boot.img I get the "remote : unknown command" error.

CPU, if matters, is a Snapdragon 435, Tinno mainboard model p6901 and i hav an adb root shell with /system mounted r/o, so I cannot push su binary.

Any suggestion about oem fastboot command? I analyzed the abooti.img strings and I found nothing but "oem unlock not allowed"

Thanks and sorry for my bad english
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OlfillasOdikno:
Simply dump your boot partition using dd than you can use MagiskManager to path your boot img and than use dd again to flash it. Just tried it and it works.

You have to do it from the phone via dd

assuming you are root:

adb shell

dd if=path_to_boot.img of=<Here you Put the boot Partition>

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e55e:
1. Enable Developer options and USB debug on your device

2. On a PC with adb installed, type "adb shell setprop persist.ape.debug 1" without quotes. Now you have a root shell via ADB

3. make a dump of your boot.img by typing in a adb root shell "dd if=/dev/block/NAME_OF_YOUR_BOOT_PARTITION of=/sdcard/boot.img"

4. Install the latest Magisk Manager

Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file

Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

5. type in a shell "dd if=sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img of=/dev/block/NAME_OF_YOUR_BOOT_PARTITION"

6. type in windows cmd "adb shell setprop persist.ape.debug 0"

There's a problem, when I try to use magisk manager, it need to download magisk.zip and says it need to be installed, but I can't install it because the recovery says the signature verification failed, and I don't know when I want to dump the boot.img what my /dev/block/... is
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e55e:
magisk manager will patch your boot.img file (the dump of your boot partition) then you can write the patched boot.img file in your boot partition with the "dd" command inside an adb root shell.

Stock recovery won't let you install a unsigned .zip file.

I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of video tutorial on youtube. Or simply follow my prevoius instructions line by line

Just after the update process reaches 100% and you hear the "usb disconnect" sound from windows, unplug the usb cable and force turn off the phone. Then power it back on pressing vol + key to enter recovery (TWRP) mode. On the first boot, the one time init process will restore stock recovery partition

Im sure someone at wiko or tinno is reading this thread. They just "patched" the ways to root the device, no security. But if they read this, they should instead upload the source to wikogeek. You are wasting your time. There is always a way to root the device, without wiping the data, the phone is very insecure. You don't need USB debugging or the password.. ;)

Wiko WIM

As already been told on step 3 and 5 simply use /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot for Wiko WIM and Wiko WIM Lte.

For all those desparately searching for a possibility to root Wiko WIM (not the Lte) I can confirm that this instructions work here as well (i.e. persist.ape.debug behaves in the same way).

However I do not know the twrp recovery image works on the Wiko WIM as well unfortunately (I have not found any).

Apart from magisk itself I tested root by installing and setting up purify app.

Hi Folks!

I really hope you can help me:

With my brand new Wiko WIM (4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage), I followed the aforementioned procedure exactly step-by-step and I'm sure I did everything as described. Magisk Manager first downloaded V16 ZIP and then without errors created the patched boot.img in its directory that i wrote back to the boot partition with dd exactly as you described. None of the commands were giving errors etc.

But now my phone doesn't boot any longer. Upon pressing power button when off, the Wiko logo only appears very shortly for some ms and then the screen stays black.

Booting into download mode (Vol+ and Vol- and PWR) shows (after the same short display of the logo) a message: "Press 8 sec boot into DLOAD" but then also only shows a black screen.

The only thing that still works is booting into (stock) recovery mode (Vol+, Home+ PWR). Can I somehow unbrick my phone from there? Unfortunately I didn't copy the original boot.img from the phone to my PC, it's only saved on the internal storage. If i only had a shell in the recovery where i could dd the original boot.img back...

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! :crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OlfillasOdikno:
Sure, you can get the original boot.img from wiko.

https://wikomobile.com/scripts/telecharger.php?id=271&type=MAJ Just Run the program. But instead of pluging your phone in close it and there should be a folder called rom somewhere inside it. In it is the stock boot.img If you need to flash it you can use QFIL https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil. Make a Copy of rawprogram_unparse.xml or whatever it is called and modify it, replace every string that contains a Filename like "system31.img" or "recovery.img" with an empty string "" except for boot.img Now you can start QFIL and choose the programmer. It is also in the rom folder. Then click on "load XML" and choose your modified xml, the name for the copy should start with "rawprogram" for the Patch you can Just take the default one from the Rom directory. After that get your device into dload Mode, Plug it in and Hit Download. Wait until it finished. And you are done without loosing any data. If this is too difficult you can just use the program from wiko and flash it the normal way, but then you will loose your data.

I found some solution to easy install magisk on our phones (Wiko Wim Lite) but its work oddly for me.

It gives apps root access, but it isnt looks like "real" root. For example i cant uninstall trash apps, but Tasker+Secure Settings work well (switching GPS and NFC). This "small" root is enough for me.

Here is steps i do:

1. Extract V30 rom from Wiko Site

2. Copy boot.img on phone.

3. Isntall Magisk Manager on phone and patch copied boot.img

4. Copy patched_boot.img on computer, rename it to boot.img and replace original boot.img.

5. Start flashing rom by WIM_Lite_V30.exe (located is same folder as UIShell.exe)
