Got my wildFire Rooted!

Most ways here didn't work to get it going, but here is how i got it working:

01. Installed HTC Synch

02. Ran HTC Synch with WildFire Connected

03. Closed HTC Synch

04. Downloaded Unrevoked 3 and ran it

05. Let it do the whole process (it did everything by itself (rebooting the wildfire in hboot mode etc...)

05. Installed HBOOT USB Drivers when it asked for it

06. At some stage it says something like rooting ... safe to restart if it doesn't work, it stays on that screen, close unrevoked3

07. Disconnected WildFire

08. Uninstalled HTC Synch (only the program, not the drivers)

09. Connected Wildfire to PC

10. Ran UNREVOKED3 again

11. HTC Wildfire is rooted now :)

* HTC WildFire (Belgium) Simlockfree

* Done on Windows XP
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
What operativesystem do you use? Maybe worked for you because you had XP and not Win 7, and 32bits instead of 64bits? Strange that the process worked having the HTC sync drivers installed, when it clearly says they must be uninstalled...
[Wildfire Android Development] DjoeN:
Tried on Windows 7 64Bit

Tried on Windows 7 32Bit

Tried and worked on Windows XP

I just uninstalled the HTC Synch programm, not the drivers, worked fine.
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
Okay, I will test this when I come home later, but will this work even if I have problems installing the ADBdrivers?
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
I managed the rootingprocess now! I will explain how Ì did it step by step for all others having problem as I had on Win7 64bit:

* Downloaded Android SDK, extracted it contains to c:

* Started the SDK Setup and closed the first update-asking-program

* Checked out “Force https:// … using http://” under Settings

* Selected “SDK Platform for Android 2.1″ and “Usb Driver package in "avalible packages" and installed them.

* Closed the program.

* Downloaded this files: http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yz4rg8u3i

* Started phone in normal mode and plugged in to the PC

* Go in to device manager, choose "update driver" for the ADB.

* Select “Browse my computer for driver software”

* Choose “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”

* Choose “Mobile devices” (NOT the ADB Device that comes out first on the list)

* Locate the driver to the downloaded 64bits driver and it will install the adb.

* Start the unrevoke-program and VOILA!! IT worked!! After hours and hours of frustration!

The ADB changes to HTC something, dont know if it supposed to be like that, but the mainpoint of all this is that I got my phone rooted!!

Now I am going to try out the WildPuzzleRom to see if I can fix that one to =)
[Wildfire Android Development] Chopaan:
I rooted my Wildfire last week using Unrevoked 3.21 because I wanted paid apps (They haven't been available in Sweden until TODAY).

Since that was about my only reason for rooting I'd like to unroot it again. I bought the phone without a plan or a certain service provider (If that makes any difference?)

Now to the question, how do I unroot it?

There is a thread about this already:

showthread.php?t=791126

But it only gives a very brief instruction saying we should download an RUU on this site:

shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/

Does it matter what RUU I download, and what do I do after I downloaded it?

Lots of questions, lots of text, I know.

And yes, I am a newbie.

Thanks,

Chopaan
[Wildfire Android Development] themonkster:
Hello,

On the unrevoked screen it says:

Pushing recovery ... (2920448 bytes)

Recovery Image: Clockworw Mod

It's been on this screen for about 10 mins

Is it done ?

Cheers
[Wildfire Android Development] djR3Z:
Download the one corresponding to the build that you are on (check in Settings>>About Phone)

Nope, not done. Seems like something interrupted it. Restart and try again.
[Wildfire Android Development] Markino:
Hi guys!

Rooting the Wildfire using that method will cause the full system cleanup/restore?

Will I lose all my data, settings and apps?

After rooting will still can make the official firmware updates (Froyo or not!)?

The updates will be found exactly as the non rooted device using "check for update" from settings?

Mnay thanks!
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
After root S-On or S-Off

Hi there!

I recently rooted my Wildfire using this walkthrough and got the "Done" message. After rebooting I noticed the "Superuser Permission" (so far so good). In related topics I have read that the root is done correctly if in the HBOOT screen says S-Off and NOT S-On. Mine keep saying S-On after rooting it twice.

So, am I done correctly without the S-Off sign or do I have to do something else?

If anyone has noticed the same please let me know

Thank you

what is the most stable rom out there for the htc wildfire?!
[Wildfire Android Development] amadiaus:
Same like me still waiting for so long how can I do for this?
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
Anyone over here? Did you read my comment? Has anyone noticed the same? Please le5 me know. I will appreciate it
[Wildfire Android Development] PhX_Dragon:
I do, also on a wildfire. Root is working fine, but it still shows S-ON.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
the hboot for wildfire is not unlocked yet, when alpharev releases their patch, s-off will come to wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] Markino:
Can you response, please ? :(

Usind Unrecoked 3.21 method will I lose all my data and settings?
[Wildfire Android Development] rolks:
no you don't
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
Thank so much for the reply. Have you tried flashing a rom?
[Wildfire Android Development] s7ephene:
Cannot select HBOOT USB

Finally installed driver and then ran the reflash package which completed successfully :)

However now I want to install my first custom rom. How do I do this because when I go back in to the hboot menu it still shows the original screen.

Thanks and sorry for being so thick
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
from hboot menu, go to recovery and then go to install zip from sd card, make sure the files are on the sd card first :p
[Wildfire Android Development] s7ephene:
Thanks Ill give it a go. Fingers crossed :)
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
Thank you for the information Kevin.

So we can root wildfire and flash roms even though S-On is still active. Is that right?

As I see you have flashed rom WildpuzzleROM v8.0.8 FROYO! I don't know why but something keeps stoping me from flashing a rom. Maybe cause I'm waiting for the official Froyo uppdate for Wildfire or maybe I don't know how to unroot it or flash a stock rom when things go wrong. I believe another reason is that I do not understand the exact procedure to flash WildpuzzleROM v8.0.8 FROYO. I mean the tutorials are well written but some things are better to be shown. All I have to do is just flash WildpuzzleROM v8.0.8 FROYO or do I have to flash additional roms? Stupid questions I know but that's life. Everybody has to start from somewhere!!

I appreciate your help
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
yes all you have to do is flash wildpuzzle rom ;), easy simple way to flash is just.

1. dl the rom files from the thread, put them on the sd card (mount phone to usb)

2. turn phone off, hold trackpad and press power button

3. you will be in the bootloader menu, go to 'bootloader' and press power button, or if you are already there, press the volume down button until it highlights 'recovery', press power button and wait.

2. you will boot into clockworkmod recovery

3. do a nandroid backup (go to nandroid and press backup) (this keeps a backup of whatever rom you have installed, im assuming you will have stock rom)

4. go wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

5. go to install zip from card and choose 0001 (the main base which is v8.0.8)

6. wait for it to install and then go to reboot system.

7. go to clockworkmod recovery again if you want to flash the other patches -> install zip from sd card, and then flash e.g. Overclock kernel
[Wildfire Android Development] tuanvo1982:
I believe that this way only works if you are currently 2.1.

If u r already run RUU FROYO 2.2 CHS so I don't think it works.

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
OK. I think I am almost persuaded!!

If something wrong appears I believe I can restore my stock rom (cause I am still with stock rom!!) from nandroid backup. Is that possible? Obviously the back up is stored in SD card so it is possible to recover.

One more. If rooted and flashed with WildpuzzleROM v8.0.8 FROYO can someone make use of the official update Froyo or should flash a stock rom and afterwards make the update? Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the offficial update is useless for someone who has flashed WildpuzzleROM v8.0.8 FROYO.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
no i dont think you will get the official update with a custom rom, if you want to, just flash back your stock rom.
[Wildfire Android Development] tomasek77:
Hi Guys

I stuck, I install the unrEVOked modified USB driver,i also USB Debugging turned on ,I do everthing like in instruction ,i have HBOOT USB PLUG on screen but when i run reflash_package.exe i have always message that "Waiting for device" and i dont have Hboot USB on the menu in bootloader.Anyone knew what i do wrong??
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
had the same problem, are you using win7 64bit?

then try this, "http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yz4rg8u3i"

when updating adb in devicemanager, choose "have disk" and then "mobile devices" then point at this location after you have unzipped.
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
I appreciate your help
[Wildfire Android Development] tomasek77:
No i have win 7 ulitmate ,not 64 bit.
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:

[Wildfire Android Development] tomasek77:
i install driver that you give but nothing change.I still dont have Hboot USB in bootloader menu?why?
[Wildfire Android Development] tomasek77:
ok I did it now i have black screen with green text.it is done or what??I can only root my wildfire or i must instal a new rom??
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
YES YES YES IT WORKED, I realise that the people who made unrevoked like portal xD
[Wildfire Android Development] drugoija:
plz upload to non flash site

only option I have to sol atm I from wildfire

pretty plz
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
check if you have the superuser-app in your phone. You dont have to install roms etc.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
i believe this is the clockworkmod recovery screen, make sure the rom you want to flash is on your sd card, and if read the instructions i posted previously, you'll be fine, but again...

do a nandroid backup, then do a full wipe (factory reset and cache) then go to install zip from sd card and select the file to flash.
[Wildfire Android Development] Nochnoy:
You saved my day!! I did not manage to delete it by mistake but somehow i was hanging on the "waiting for device" screen at unrEVOked and when i saw your posting i checked the device manager and ADB was at unknown devices list, so i did what you said and VOILA... all went just fine.
[Wildfire Android Development] RCornell:
So you can have your methods to get Root to RUU FROYO 2.2 CHS?
[Wildfire Android Development] r00tPT:
I did this via Linux, and it really is a One Click Root!

Just pressed OK and it did _everything_ by itself.

Thanks a lot!
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Noob question, if I root do I need to install anything else in order to install a custom ROM

Like any tools in order to enter recovery mode?

Or just root, enter recovery and apply the custom Rom zip file?
[Wildfire Android Development] a1exander:
You root with Unrevoked, and enter the ClockwordMOD recovery, and install the custom ROM zip file, yes.

And remember, allways do a Nandroid backup before.
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
So, let me get this straight, the ClockwordMOD recovery is in the phone, but I need to root in order to access it?

Anyway, thanks for the answer so far.:p

I only get 4 options on the Hboot

Hello Everyone,

when i turn my HTC Wildfire off , and into HBoot. I only get 4 options and i dont get the 4th option. If i go down 4 volume buttons, it will just go right to the top again.

and also when i try to click something, it will just "re-sync"

will this method work on HTC Legend..?

this is my first post and its my first time posting, but i have the htc wildfire and i managed to install the driver software correctly and i completed the unrevoked program; when it said done. But when i open set cpu, i can't take the speed past 528mhz, and also, when i go into the info tab, it says i have the the htc kernel, what's gone wrong?

Thanks for your help.:(
[Wildfire Android Development] indisingh:
@ pannakakan

Uninstall HTC sync but leave the drivers ,to stop the re-syncing, well that's what worked forme when I had that problem
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
that's because you haven't flashed the overclock kernel... and the only way is if you install a custom rom like openfire or wildpuzzle.

im just wondering why you guys updated to the chinese froyo, even though by searching around these forums or simply reading, you would know that installing the ruu or updating it will make you lose root... and please don't be annoying and use that huge font, it isn't necessary

and you guys will have to wait for unrevoked to release an update so it might work on the chinese froyo. or you can try this, it might work, i don't know: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

[Wildfire Android Development] Chris_ZS:
Hey,

Complete newbie here just wanted to ask a question as i've hit a wall already, reading through I can't figure out the solution.

I don't get the Hboot, i've plugged my phone into the USB etc. I don't get the fourth option and i've tried updating the Andriod 1.0 and my computer can't find the updated drivers.

Also, if anyone can point me in the direction of a guide on how to use whatever it is im installing, and what ROMS are etc. as i'm just installing this because i've been told I can overclock and make my phone quicker, don't want to mess it up though.

Cheers
[Wildfire Android Development] indisingh:
Can anyone point me in the direction of a really good guide, this one seems to be riddled with faults. I installed the driver and ran unrevoked successfully but when I open set CPU it won't let me overclock it past 528mhz an its says I have the HTC kernel. Can anyone tell me which would be a good rom that has a good overclocking speed without any faults, with a good guide.

I know its a tall order but there must be one out there.

Thanks

PS. I havw a HTC wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
look in the android development forum, the roms there all can use overclock, you can't overclock with stock rom because you still have stock kernel.
[Wildfire Android Development] indisingh:
@kevin

Thanks I will definately have a look
[Wildfire Android Development] leesheng07:
to those who are still facing problems with rooting, somehow, this method works! i rooted mine using this method too! when it is stuck at the initial screen, the one telling you to on USB debug, do not install HTC sync, it probably is unable to detect the driver for ADB. for my case, after i connect USB cable and turned on USB debug without HTC sync installed, it says that the drivers for ADB can't be located. so i installed HTC sync and it works. i'm able to continue with the rooting!

hope this helps!

cheers!

Thanks a lot to unrevoked Team!

Love you guys - in a totally manly way ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] nemuro:
Thanks! IMHO, this should be added in the first post as plan B.

I followed the exact instructions but I had a different version of HBOOT to work with that didn't have the option I was requested to go down 4 times with the volume down key, to select.

When I launched Unrevoked, it couldn't detect my phone and there I was staring at the screen.

While weird and doubtful, the steps below helped me root the phone.

Hi all

If I use this guide to ROOT my Wildfire, will I then be able to overclock my Wildfire?

The reason I ask is be cures after what I have read around on the internet, Wildfire require another kernel which supporting "overclock"

So is this little guide enough to get overclock working, or do I need to put another ROM/kernel on my Wildfire?

One more thing if I make a hard reset, (The Wildfire will be set to factory default) but will the hard reset "delete" the ROOT function?

I know these questions maybe sound stupid, but will be 110% sure before I maybe kill my phone
[Wildfire Android Development] djR3Z:
Yeah you'd need a custom kernel. And it shouldnt cause you to lose root.
