Almost there, but not quite...

No luck I'm afraid. Even rebooting laptop and device doesn't help.

Seems a typical case of WinBlows to me.

If all else fails, I'll boot up in Ubuntu on my own laptop later tonight

Had been thinking that too.

Was able to make a Nandroid backup of the stock ROM.

Installed ROM Manager, but no access to superuser rights.

Installing superuser.apk (v2.3.4) doesn't give me su rights.

Need to repartition current SD to arrange ext3 or ext4 partition. (Shouldn't need su rights for that).

Had already made a backup of SD.

and downloaded your Wild Puzzle ROM.

First need to check if I can get to ClockworkMod Recovery without starting up the OS, which I need to do now.

If that works, I shouldn't run too much risk of bricking my phone.

Will let you guys know if that works.

How would i actiavte clockwork recovery again after its flashed to install a new rom, or could i use rom manager?
[Wildfire Android Development] hiteshshingadia:
did anyone try applying themes ????
[Wildfire Android Development] eljelali:
Hello

I wonder if ive rooted it and want to go back again to the orginal, does that work ? Ive tried to reset the phone but the power user persmission is still there, so what can i do ?
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
There!

Ok.

This is a little strange. When I go into recovery from the HBOOT screen, it goes directly to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen.

I.e. It by-passes the red triangle screen.

Is this intentional or is an effect of the truncated rooting procedure?

Anyway, flashing new ROM directly from ClockworkMod Recovery screen works.

I now have Wild Puzzle Rom installed with SuperUser rights and A2SD+

Will try to post user experience on this ROM in the other thread later after I've played around with it a little. Seems to work well enough for now.

Thanks for your help adeadrat, f0xy and Danne_Jo

when i connect my phone the reflash software says "Failed to push recovery terminating.... i have already installed the hboot drivers ... even after several attempts its the same ... ???
[Wildfire Android Development] mnrsmith:
I couldn't get this to work on xp64 - reflash can't see the device whatever I tried.

Tried it on Win7 32bit - works fine... but I had to add some lines to the HBOOT android_winusb.inf file:

In sections [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]

;HTC Wildfire

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C8B

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C8B&MI_01

%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C94

Then device installed as 'Android Composite ADB Device'

Not sure if this is correct...
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
Do you have HTC Sync drivers installed?

If so, uninstall all of it and try again.
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
You are a great team unrEVOked people! We all love you!
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
Ubuntu

I run it under Ubuntu, it told waiting for phone, and did not notify when the phone was connected. However in Windows 7 worked like a charm.

The point to keep in mind in Windows is to kill all the HTC Sync processes (every process which its name starts with HTC) before running the unrEVOked custom recovery.
[Wildfire Android Development] rpearl:
As is specifically mentioned on the "More information" page, if you have not added appropriate udev rules for android devices, you need to run the program with Linux root permissions (ie, sudo)

im going to try removing HTC sync
[Wildfire Android Development] dikamilo:
I flashed WF in windows 7 x64 and drivers works fine. xp64 is not supported by HTC, sdk drivers, so unrevoked drivers probably don't work too.
[Wildfire Android Development] 0Reefa:
Hi all,

Have attempted to educate myself on this tool (never used before, first android device) so naturally couple of basic questions which I've been hunting down answers for over the past day but haven't had much success (obligatory apologies in advance if these have already been answered)...

1. Got this working fine, I can see the ClockworkMod Recovery green text, at the bottom it says version 2.5.0.1, I thought the latest was 2.5.0.7?

2. On pressing volume down and powering up after running the reflash tool I'm presented with the original htc recovery page. Do I have to run the reflash tool every time I want to access the UnrEVOked recovery tool?

EDIT: Just tried the recovery option which takes you into ClockworkMod, so self-answered

3. The tool itself doesn't allow root access but enables flashing of custom roms with root built in?

4. How do you remove the ClockworkMod in the event of warranty claim?

Many thanks

i can't root my wildfire...

Hi guys,

I tried a few times...

its said :

any know whats wrong with the connection??? i already uninstall the HTC Sync

[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
Just registered to say a big thankyou to the Unrevoked team, and to Martin for the soft root.

Rooting went flawlessly, on Ubuntu 10.04.
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
Does your phone show the ClockworkMod Recovery menu?

It so, your phone is now already rooted and you can flash a custom ROM via "Install zip from SD" in the menu.
[Wildfire Android Development] rpearl:
The communications error is a known bug due to Windows being a bad OS.
[Wildfire Android Development] michael9413:
thanks i'll try with my gf lappie...
[Wildfire Android Development] rosswaa:
does this give full root?
[Wildfire Android Development] Bas-Tyra:
Just want to say Thanks a bunch to Unrevoked team for this :) .. flashed using mac flawlessly .. now backing up phone ..
[Wildfire Android Development] rpearl:
It gives root. End sentence. There is no varying degree of root. Root is either something you have, or something you do not.

It does not unlock NAND--we don't yet understand how to do that on GSM phones.
[Wildfire Android Development] mawhale:
How can I check my phone to ensure that it is rooted?

I 've run the reflash package once, and it shown that rooting is done. However, I just couldn't feel the difference between root and not root. Can someone tell how to check them ?
[Wildfire Android Development] dikamilo:
Reflash pacgkage only replace recovery, you need to install custom rom to feel difference ( difference ? - install apps what needs root access ).
[Wildfire Android Development] drakazas:
I tried that unrevoked3 works fine, with adb shell typing "su" i get root access it popups on my phone that this command wants root access in superuser app. But root doesn't work with titanium backup I don't know why but it says that it can get root permission. So question how to solve this problem? Another strange thing that after rooting sometimes I can't start my phone, I turn him off and then when I try to turn it on, I can't, just orange light is on and nothing happen I only can turn on when I remove battery and put it back again. Can somebody anwser my questions?
[Wildfire Android Development] larsn84:
Hi

I just tried to root my girlfriends new Wildfire with unrEVOked, but I guess it didn't go through. I haven't tried unrEVOked before, as i rooted my own desire the old fashion way.

But i installed the windows drivers (rebooting to bootloader, installing windows drivers), pluged the phone in the usb port as disk drive, opened unrEVOked, and it said "pushing files..." and automatically restrated to bootloader again, here it did some work, and restarted again, but when it booted, the unrEVOked program just kept on saying "waiting for reboot",so i guess it isn't done, what to do guess? looks like a nice program otherways

considering donating and using it in the future, if I can get it to work, otherways I guess i need to use the old fashion way again ;)

thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] harmohn:
Try booting in to recovery; if ClockworkMod recovery boots up, your done.
[Wildfire Android Development] larsn84:
Okay, it didn't go through then :( just get the normal red !

should I try again, or what are the most common reasons?

btw - this doesn't flash a custom rom, does it? i need to choose that from file -> custom recovery, right? or is there a similar to update.zip within the normal reflash package?

EDIT: Here is the info I get from unrEVOked while processing:

pushing recovery image

waiting for boatloader; make sure driver is installed! (It is - and android 1.0 is not shown as unknown device, nor while in bootloader)

waiting for HBOOT

Running pre-boot sequence

waiting for reboot

Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone! (Says while rebooting, never gets to the clockworkMod menu)

Booted up till lock screen, and still says "Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!"

Now waited for 10 mins, and still hasn't gotten any further

I Run Windows 7 32 bit, I run unrEVOked as administrator (just in case) and I use the original cables that came with the phone. I never had any isues with my Desire. What to do? :/

PS: As far as I can see, there is now zip or anything pushed to the root of the sd card, phone is mouted as disk drive, when starting unrEVOked

PPS: Does it matter if the phone is SIM locked, dunno if it is, but haps thats why?
[Wildfire Android Development] harmohn:
Hi, I'm not that familiar with the Wildfire myself but to answer a couple of your queries:

1. don't mount SD card when starting unrekoved (I didn't choose any option on the phone). That may do the trick.

2. This won't flash an alternate ROM, you have to download one yourself; recommend WildPuzzle v4 and flash it using recovery.
[Wildfire Android Development] fishb00n:
no it doesnt matter. can't you just try it on a different pc? laptop, netbook etc.?

unrevoked v3 worked fine for me the first time i ran it on win7 x64 .. in the mean time i installed HTC Sync and it told me it can't find my device, so i tried reinstalling all drivers and so on but had no success. RUU update to 1.25 didnt work either. but i heard the normal windows sound when i connected my wildfire to the usb port. in device manager it found the device as "my HTC". I tried with and without usb debugging mode but i still have no idea why it doesnt work anymore. So then I uninstalled HTC Sync and all it's drivers and did RUU update @ windows xp. ran fine ... tried unrevoked on windows 7 again but it still didn't work.. it stalled at "pushing recovery image". did unrevoked on the xp machine and it worked like it first did on windows 7. weird :-)

i now have a debranded my 1&1 Wildfire with HTC stock rom 1.25 and didn't lose any apps or settings because of nandroids advanced restore :-) great!
[Wildfire Android Development] larsn84:
i could try my girlfriends netbook, though it's on win7 x86 as well. I just thought it might push something similar to update.zip to the root of the sd card, to flash it, but I think I'll try putting puzzle ROM in the root, and see if it makes a difference

you dunno if there is something available as the r5-desire-root tools, just for the wildfire instead? that i can use with commando prompt?

thx for the answers
[Wildfire Android Development] mawhale:
I am exactly in the same case with you!! Hope that someone will help ~~!!
[Wildfire Android Development] larsn84:
Okay, that is wierd! Tried my gf laptop, and it worked just fine, though we have win7 x86 both :S

thanks for the help. unrEVOked is a real nice program (easy to use, when u figure it all out) ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] MarcusLee:
I cannot install the HBoot on my XP PC... when I point the hardware installer to the usb files it just says "hardware cannot be installed" "Cannot find necessary files" or words to that effect... what do I do?
[Wildfire Android Development] fishb00n:
does the wildfire show up in the device manager at all?
[Wildfire Android Development] MarcusLee:
yea but not as "android 1.0" but as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". Maybe if I format the SD and start with a fresh phone?
[Wildfire Android Development] MarcusLee:
Edit: Fixed.

The instructions for HTC wildfire need to be updated: To get the HBoot screen you must press the Optical ball and power NOT Volume and power, then you can install the drivers just fine.
[Wildfire Android Development] MarcusLee:
god ****... now the reflash thingy wont start doing anything even tho the hboot **** is installed and I have it in USB debugging...

Edit: Again fixed, this thread has the drivers for the HTC wildfire ADB connection: ** I am new so I cannot post the link... but it is on this forum, search for "wildfire ADB driver" in google and it is the post: "ADB USB Drivers for screenshot - xda-developers" **

After installing them it all started to run fine.

At the end, after "Wait 3 more seconds..." it says connect lost, but clockwork seemed to be installed ok... everything works fine, rom flash its all good.
[Wildfire Android Development] larsn84:
I think the drivers are on the SD too, think I found them in "tool"-folder
[Wildfire Android Development] MarcusLee:
yea I don't have the original SD in mine.
[Wildfire Android Development] fishb00n:
writing in big green letters won't get you an answer any quicker ;-)

what do you mean? debranding or do you have a sim- or netlock?
[Wildfire Android Development] Marurban:
Recovery can not connect to the phone. I deleted the drivers for HTC, I installed the drivers unrevo and recovery does not detect it, and pops up every time the wizard to install the driver. So I installed the drivers for HTC, and then went unrevo but stood waiting for the bootloader and the phone screen menu appeared HBOOT Menu PLUG.

I working on winxp pro sp2
[Wildfire Android Development] Comfreak89:
Hi,

if i root my wildfire with the unrevoked tool, will i lost all my data on the phone? Will there be installed a new rom or sth. else?

It's the first time, i root a phone, sry for that question :/
[Wildfire Android Development] cashisback:
No, you do not lose your data. Its replacing the Normal android recovery with a new custom one.
[Wildfire Android Development] raimis78:
I installed drivers from first page, but then i run unrevoked it says plug in phone now and enable USB debugging, wich is exactly what I did. Any ideas how to fix it?
[Wildfire Android Development] Comfreak89:
Thank you for the answer...now i can do the root without scare :)
[Wildfire Android Development] 71baker:
I think i know what he meant.

On the X10mini right now there is Root , but no recovery.

On the Wildfire , Root plus recovery.

Ofc , root is root but alot of people , me included , needs the recovery to feel 'safe' and thus connects root and recovery = full root.

It's a bad wording though. Let's call it Unrevoked KICKASS!!! :cool:
[Wildfire Android Development] Marurban:
Is it possible to uninstall this?
[Wildfire Android Development] rolks:
unrevoked seems not working with latest rom (1.25.405.1) something wrong with dbug usb mode maybe or driver issue.

Htc wildfire on 3

Thanks guys for the painless root, worked 100% on my mac.

Ok for my Question. I have an Unlocked wildfire that is branded to 3, as you may know on the 3 network you get free Skype and messenger, now if i load a new rom, will this remove the branding? the reason being to use the free skype/messenger you have to use a 3 branded phone. If i did try, would the backup restore the branding?

[Wildfire Android Development] tobybobby:
Worked like a charm.Now i can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.But

1)Cannot install busybox because it cannot mount something that has to be mounted.

2)When the screen turns off the phone reboots.wtf? :/

Do i have to wipe data/factory and/or cache partition?

Am i doing anything wrong? :/
[Wildfire Android Development] krytak:
I killed Market app before installing Enabler. Install and aplly Enabler, after this run Market. No reboot needed.
[Wildfire Android Development] fishb00n:
i killed it afterwards - didn't work. i rebooted - still didn't work. and as you suggested i did kill it first then enable [US] and run market again. it's not working for me. can't find mixzing
[Wildfire Android Development] tobybobby:
Ok i fixed the permissions thing.It seems i wasnt paying attention when superuser.apk was asking me if i wanted to gain permition.Anyway that's solved.

The point is that it reboots when it goes to standby mode! (why?)
[Wildfire Android Development] :
Hey.... well yea any new ROM will remove the branding ... even i have a 3 branded phone but i installed a new ROM and had it debranded .. well you can just backup all ur installed apps including skype and messenger and then restore them when you have your new rom installed :) both skype and messenger will work fine

We're looking at some bugs that a very small number (two) EVO users have encountered and have taken the tool down for a short while until we're satisfied that they have been resolved.
[Wildfire Android Development] siveZ:
Troubleshooting!

Hey there ppl! I'm new here and i'm russian so i'm bad at eng and rooting etc. so i apologize in advance for my stupidity. Ok then i have trouble 'n' i want to solve it.

I made root through unrevoked, Superuser appeared at menu, apps requires root access, but when i mount system/lib/ r/w and move file there app "think" but file do not appear! Adb root answers that root cannot run at production builds. Ask me for more info-i'll give it as quick as it possible.

P.S. damn it look's like a soft-root wtf. Unrevoked is full root right??

Where do you have found the last exe file..

Would you mind to put the link..

thanks...
[Wildfire Android Development] ed3203:
thanks for this.

i found directions hard to come by so here's my contribution:

-unrevoked3 is currently offline, so join irc channel to get dev version

for win, install hboot drivers, while phone is in hboot menu (turn on phone while holding volume down(wildfire))

install htc sync while phone is connected to pc with usb debugging on (applications menu, developer) can be in charge only mode or disk mount nb this is done while phone is on in normal operation. when adb driver is installed through htc sync unrevoked then detected the phone and did its business. nb is htc sync can detect phone, unrevoked can do the same. just remember to close sync application in task manager before running unrevoked

now to read up on the puzzle rom!:cool:
[Wildfire Android Development] gryphynwing:
hmmm but unrevoked3 is down right now cuz of some bugs on 2 evo users... so is the link to unrevoked 3 posted above safe and working

But my phone dosen't seem rooted, I get the ClockworkMod recovery, but not root as it seems.

I've tried to run su under shell but get permission denied.

When trying to run apps that needs root the superuser app ask for permission but then the apps still says that i have not got root access.

Could it be a problem that i have the "over air" uppdate to version 1.25.405.1

HBOOT is version 0.80.0002

Att HBOOT it says S-ON at the top of the screen (shouldn't this be S-OFF after running unrevoked?)
