Simply flash the stock ROM again, and root will be gone.
[Wildfire Android Development] jim-bo:
Yes and no

This will work fine, unless you have used Alpharev X to toggle S-OFF.

If you have used Alpharev X to get S-OFF, there is currently no way to flash back to a stock HBOOT, so you will have the S-OFF and custom Alpharev HBOOT permanently (well, until the Alpharev team release a tool to reverse the process).

I am new to Android, just ported over from Windows, so bare with me.

I am trying to Root my new Wildfire which has v2.2.1. I have tried everything on the first page, as listed by djR3Z and DjoeN, but it says;

"failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?

When I try the older version of Unrevoked 3.14, as suggested by 3xeno, I get the following message;

"Failed to flash recovery image"

Can someone please help me.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
This guide is only applicable to Android 2.1 based Wildfire's, Not 2.2.1. For 2.2.1, you will have to get S-OFF by AlphaRev X, then push a Custom Recovery (Clockworkmod) and finally, Superuser Binary (Root).

The entire process is outlined here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1029318

Remember though, the process is irreversible (For the time being), so, your warranty will be void.
[Wildfire Android Development] mv0hra:
Thanks for your response. Do you think it is possible to revert to v2.1 then root the device without having to void the warranty?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
No Sorry. Reverting to 2.1 is possible, but, will require S-OFF by AlphaRev X, again essentially voiding the warranty.
[Wildfire Android Development] mv0hra:
I tempted to do it, do you think there will be a way, in the near future, to un-void the phone?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Yes, AlphaRev will release a downgrader to revert the Bootloader. Infact, someone has asked them already and got the required commands as well, to revert the phone back to stock, but, it is yet to be tested.
[Wildfire Android Development] mv0hra:
Excellent news

Pls Help:

Yesterday I tried to root my wildfire that comes with 2.2...

First of all I installed Hboot drivers....install HTC sync and uninstall it.

Then I reboot my sys and cell and turn on USB debugging and select charge only mode.

Then I run d unrevoked soft...detect wildfire and then throw an error installing recovery failed: internal error...

So, everything went well, as I followed the guide. I reached S-OFF, got SuperUser working, in Terminal emulator I get # for "su", instelled ROM Manager. But I cant make CWM working... In Rom manager I "install tha latest recovery", it downloads it, then do nothing, I go to recovery, hit install update.zip and is gives me an error.

I cannot even install CWM with Unrevoked, it gives me an error too: "error blabla...is your firmware too new?"

What is wrong with it? It's killing me

any idea how to repair it??

i already reroot with unrevok and still doesn't work
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Reflash your ROM after formatting /system in the Advanced Menu of Clockworkmod. This issue happens when your ROM already includes Superuser. Unrevoked pushes it's version of Superuser, leading to a clash, thus causing FC's.

Alternatively, if you know to use ADB, simply get the APK, and push it to /system/app

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/

Also, if you have S-OFF, you can directly remove and reinstall using a Root Explorer File Manager, but I havent tested it this way.

How to upgrade Hboot 0.80.0007 to 1.01.0001 ?

Hey

I really hope you can help me. I have read through the forum and tried some things but it did not work. My htc is already rooted but with old Hboot and old Clockworkmod.

When I hold down the volume and power button is says:

-------------------------

In The Complete Wildfire Index it says:

So, if you are on 0.80.x, you will have to flash an official Froyo RUU (Point 5 of this thread), and continue from there.

I have done that and I flashed this one:

2010-11-28 - Repack of the chinese RUU, Android 2.2 Froyo Rooted

What do I do now ?

I have just used Unrevoked3 to see if that would update the hboot but it did not. It rooted the phone successful.

I hobe there is someone who can help me.

I can make calls texts etc.

Sorry for the late reply.

When it says it's done...well, it's pretty much done. Your phone is rooted. When in normal status, you'll see the "Superuser" applications.

You only have to use that specific guide if you want to install that specific ROM. There are a few ROMS around here, I'm not sure whether they all install by the same procedure but I guess they all have instructions. Sorry I can't help, I haven't tried this yet.

[Wildfire Android Development] Tuggerr:
Hey,

had the same problem when i was rooting my girlfriend Wildfire. Managed to install the driver in Hboot, but could not install the ADB driver in Windows. Following these instructions from the official Android page worked for me.

Windows Vista: Upgrade an existing driver

To upgrade an existing Android USB driver on Windows Vista with the new driver:

Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.

Right-click on "Computer" from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select "Manage."

Select "Device Manager" in the left pane of the Computer Management window.

Locate and expand "ADB Interface" in the right pane.

Right-click on "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface", and select "Update Driver Software..."

When Vista starts updating the driver, a prompt will ask how you want to search for the driver software. Select "Browse my computer for driver software."

Click "Browse..." and locate the folder where you copied the installation package. As long as you specified the exact location of the installation package, you may leave "Include subfolders" checked or unchecked—it doesn't matter.

Click "Next." Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.

When Vista asks if you'd like to install the Google ADB Interface device, click "Install" to install the driver.
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
@ Tuggerr: Thanks! Will try this one when I come home! I dont think that the ADB is located in my device manager though, but going to search this later.

A question, if I use the Ubuntu-Live CD. Then the ADB-drivers werent neccessary to have when using the unrevoked-program?

But if I want to install Roms on the phone when rooted, I must have ADB installed? Or can I use something else then?
