Right on. Some are reporting that it will only work for them if they plug in once in HBOOT
[Wildfire Android Development] cybercool10:
Awesome Thanks for the Guide , although Rooting using unrEVOked is Easy enough , but since I was rooting for the very first time , this guide helped me alot :)

Using HTC Wildfire , Rooted using unrEVOked 3.21 on Win7 x64
[Wildfire Android Development] ManWeDr0id:
Thanks for this guide. Now my wildfire is also rooted.

Successfully flashed with unrEVOked v3.21

Hello everyone,

Being the Android newbie i am, i just did a successful reflash using unrEVOked v3.21 on Windows 7 x64 following the OPs' instructions.

Note: if anybody is having the ADB driver missing like i did (uninstalled it by mistake), select Update Driver -> Search My PC -> List Available drivers -> Android Phone(s) -> if the list is empty, click Have Disk and navigate to the HBOOT modified driver downloaded from the unrEVOked site and select the .inf file in the main directory -> Android ADB Interface

Click Next -> Finish.

Cheers!
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:

just ignore step 3 and skip to step 4. i had it rooted this way.
[Wildfire Android Development] minde2004:
It seems all ok. At the end Unrevoked write DONE. But I still cant get in some catalogs like /data, /root, /sbin etc. :( Can somebody explain how to get access for these catalogs.
[Wildfire Android Development] caspar911:
Had problems with W7

I had problems with W7 (64-bit) (same one that others have been reporting here) where the reflash would just say "waiting for device..", even though I have basically a clean install of W7 and followed all of the instructions successfully. I then tried it in Linux (Ubuntu, to be precise), and it worked flawlessly.

Remember to use root permission when launching reflash, though!
[Wildfire Android Development] girello71:
unrevoked doesn't work very well on my wildfire 1.25.xxx

read my other message
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
Ok, I have serious problems with this. I have a wildfire phone, Win 7 (64bit).

I did this:

* Installed the HTC sync (downloaded from website)

* Uninstalled them directly (never had my phone connected with computer using USB)

* Turned my phone off

* Started it with Volume down-start, and got the HTBOOT USB plug

* Installed the android boatlooder interface correctly.

After this my problem started, when the Unrevoke-progress were started.

* I turned my phone on (no connection with computer now)

* When the phone was on I turn on the usb debugger thing

* Connected it via USB to the computer

* Then windows automaticly tryes to install drivers (ADB and some other drivers)

ARE THIS DRIVERS SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED?? - because I unistalled them! And now I cant install ADB again, if it even should be installed?

* Tryed unrevoked but get message "waiting for device"

Maybe something were wrong when windows tryed to install drivers that werent supposed to be installed? Or maybe I werent supposed to unistall then at all?

Or maybe its just because I am using Win7 (64bit) that the problems occur?
[Wildfire Android Development] phunctionist:
@Akerhage and others still facing problems with rooting:

I have finally succeeded in rooting yestarday.

I've tried to follow the rules on this thread but nothing seemed to help me. I tried on Windows Xp 32bit, Windows 7 32&64bit, nothing. I was stuck in the same place as akerhage.

So, what I did was to forget about windows and went linux. I know this might not be to the likes of everybody and that it is just an alternate solution and not a fix to the original problem(s) but it is indeed very easy. You don't even have to install linux ;-)

1: Download the Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer mentioned here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7449486&postcount=1 ( Thanks @shad0wf0x on this occasion ;-) )

2. Follow the instructions there. I chose not to burn it on a CD/CD-RW but put it on a USB stick. Unfortunately, when I tried, the Pendrive Linux did not work for me. So, I recommend using UNetbootin from here : http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

3. Keep following instructions in the thread by shad0wf0x. There should be no problems.

4. Enjoy your rooted Wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
@phunctionist:

Thanks, Ive seen this before, so have to try this then, but strange that it works for some people and doesnt work for other?

When I run the unrevoke in linux, is there anything else I have to do after it says done?

Or is the phone fully rooted then? Giving me options to intall new roms, loading widgets etc??

Etc: When this is done I have to follow this guide: "[ROM][29/09] WildPuzzleROM v8.0.1 HTC-Sense-Froyo 2.2 MultiLang, GoogleApps, Working"

I have a 2.2.1 wf, can I downgrade it and then root?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
No, you cannot.
[Wildfire Android Development] adityakishoor:
will i loose my warranty if i use this process??? n i have the stock android 2.2 so will it work on that??
[Wildfire Android Development] kuceens007:
Of course you loose warranty
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Yes you will lose it, but, there are ways to get it back. (RUU)

Anyway, discussing that is no use because this process will not work on Stock Android 2.2. It is unrootable ATM using any software.

please help.iam freshly owner htc buzz.before i ive been owner htc leo and hero.i dont have any problems with flashin any os.now when i try to root my buzz ihave problems.all what iam doing,iam doing with the given methods on the thread.dosnt work.still i see the message .....is too new firmware?when i run buzz

in boot mode i dont have option 5 HBOOT USB.i see only 4 options,but when i connect to pc via usb title changing name from HBOOT to FASTBOOT USB.what iam doing wrong?mobile been in vodafone but been unlocked today.please help....
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Read around a bit please. You are probably on official Android 2.2 which is unrootable.
[Wildfire Android Development] kondejm:
probably.i try everything and i read a lot.even i try creatin gold card but when is create htc dont see sd card.is any way to downgrade this rom?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Downgrading 2.2.1 to official 2.1 will work, but, it wont downgrade the new HBoot, so, it's kinda pointless, because, inspite of downgrading, you will still not get root. Goldcard will not help here.

As of now, the only way is to get S-OFF via an XTC Clip, then root.
[Wildfire Android Development] alirezavahedi:
Can I root wildfire with android 2.2 with this method ??????
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
*Sigh*. No. Can you please read the thread before you ask the same question again and again? Thank you in advance,
[Wildfire Android Development] zbyrek2:
Good news.
[Wildfire Android Development] fifarunnerr:
It doesn't say that much ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] zbyrek2:
But... it say that they're still working on it, so there is hope :P
[Wildfire Android Development] NiamhWins:
Bad news for me. I tried to root it with unrEvoked, HBOOT 0.80.0007, and it failed at rooting saying that maybe my version is too new. (I have S-ON, though) :(!!!
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Use an older version of Unrevoked. The newer version does not work for many. S-ON/S-OFF doesn't matter.

If you search around the forum, you should find links of 3.20/3.21/3.14 uploaded by members.
[Wildfire Android Development] NiamhWins:
It's easier to download from the official website:

http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.14/reflash.tar.gz
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.20/reflash.tar.gz
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash.tar.gz

What version should I use? downloading 3.14.

Edit: 3.14 worked fine!
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
All should work, although I personally used 3.21 when rooting my Wildfire for the first time. Interesting though, never knew that Unrevoked keeps old versions on their websites. This will come in handy.
[Wildfire Android Development] NiamhWins:
I still have S-ON. How can I get S-OFF? It's not fully rooted, because I cannot delete programs of /system folder. Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Tried to use 3.21, when the S-OFF first come - failed, said that it couldn't find "misc". Maybe it's because of the a2sd?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Unrevoked will NOT give you S-OFF. You can get S-OFF using an XTC Clip, or, wait for AlphaRev to release.
[Wildfire Android Development] NiamhWins:
Is there a release date?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Not one I am aware of. Sorry.

help

i have only just bought my wildfire, and i am wanting to root it so that i can install cyanogenmod in it. i have tried this root method and i cant seem to get the phone rooted. where the problem is for me, is when the phone reboots into the boot loader, what do i select? in the video,(link in the original post) he selects HBOOT USB, but i don't get this option on my boot loader.

any help would be appreciated.
[Wildfire Android Development] Takudenatsu:
What Hboot do you have?
[Wildfire Android Development] farfetch:

[Wildfire Android Development] lagos911:
Nobody give a **** about this device. Its so poor.

I am pretty sure that nobody will hack the root for this device again.
[Wildfire Android Development] Timmothy83:

wish someone really work on HBOOX 1x ... extremely excited to roll on custom rom to free up my phone from stock rom which is all the way to heavy running so much of unwanted things running up.

unRevoked guys please wake up mill's of people waiting for flashing HBOOT 1x
[Wildfire Android Development] Sisqo:
bought my wildfire yesterday, didn't knew about the hboot 1.01 problem, after using desire and didn't had any problems rooting it, i thought i was gonna root wildfire easily and flash cm-7... i had alot of android phones starting with g1... this is the first one i cannot root..****ty htc
[Wildfire Android Development] atomicmak:
many like us are waiting for a solution.. should be somewhere someone working on that hardly. the only best bet is to wait and watch for the solution for HBOOT 1.0x to be released soon.
[Wildfire Android Development] Sisqo:
if nothing appears in the next few days, i will go to a mobile service that i found that has xtc clip and pay them to do s-off and then write a recovery and flash cm7..

i remember when having the g1, i rooted it in about 2 hours, downgrading to android 1.0 and expoiting the telnetd bug:) why didn't anybody found a similar why to root it the wildfire?

i don't think they are still trying to root the 2.2.1 wildfire with hboot 1.01, it's been few months and still no success
[Wildfire Android Development] atomicmak:
Sisqo

seems you are right its been months and no solution. you're lucky you have someone with xtc clip in your market. here where i stay there is none i tried to search everywhere. :(
[Wildfire Android Development] Sisqo:
yes, but i'm not willing to pay for something that i've done by myself on other devices without any help.. you can buy from ebay a xtc clip if noone has in your city and then make money with it because it works with every htc android device

maybe unrevoked will release an update eventualy
[Wildfire Android Development] atomicmak:
dear Sisqo luckily i have done s-off by xtc clip just few minutes ago by going through entire phone directory yellow page and i found a guy who made my phone s-off.

would you be so kind to share what to do now to get the rom update ?
[Wildfire Android Development] Sisqo:
download cm7 or whatever rom you want to sdcard

flash a recovery image from fastboot

boot in recovery, wipe everything and install the rom from sdcard
[Wildfire Android Development] carlowise:
hy!

I did this guide and have root. and dowloaded rom manager.

but my phone is not simlock free, and don't have s-off.

do I need s-off to install custom rom on my devise or root is enough?

s-off can only be done with xtc clip? is this correct?
[Wildfire Android Development] Sisqo:
you do not need s-off to install custom rom, root is enough

s-off can be done with xtc clip now, on AlphaRev site it says that HTC Wildfire GSM (Buzz) could be supported in version 2.0, but to make s-off with AlphaRev for the devices that are supported you need root
[Wildfire Android Development] vulkanxxv:
To experts...

Please read this http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2011/04/yummy-yummy-gingerbreak.html

And give us yours opinions...

Thnks
[Wildfire Android Development] Sisqo:
you can read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13430372 and in other posts it's specified the same thing. if anyone could have root it permanently, the solution would be here.

you get shell root with psneuter, but you cannot copy anything to /system, if you could have copied su to /system/bin, you would have perm root.

i've tried also, i know a little unix, but no luck, all we can do is wait till someone finds a way

i've tried copying su to /data/local/tmp in give it permissions so i can execute it when i'm not in temproot to get root without psneuter, but it seams that i only can launch su only when i have temproot...changing owner group doesn't help
[Wildfire Android Development] grognaz:
whats this s-off/on all over the forums? back in the day root was enough... so why does one need s-off even if the device is rooted? o_O im confused

is this for new devices only or does the original wildfire also have this s stuff?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Secuflag ON/OFF. If you are rooted, it is enough really. S-OFF does offer it's own set of advantages, but, it's not that you have an 'unusable' device without it.

This concept is now all over the forums because for the phones with Official Froyo, the only way to root is to get S-OFF first, and the only way to get that is by using an XTC Clip hardware box.
[Wildfire Android Development] grognaz:
oh i see.. thats strange considering the opensource os that the phones use... guess its a good thing i didnt get a new phone yet with the s-on surprise:O

you think there is any hope that the new wildfire will get s-off without this xtc clip?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
I don't know really mate TBH. Although there are no indications which either prove or disprove it, I think, (Obviously in my personal view) that it will be possible one day (Atleast root, if not S-OFF), because, all of HTC's phones are now being shipped with locked bootloaders, increasing the user base, and increasing the interest in trying to crack the security. Obviously, the chances then will be greater than when it was the cse with only the Wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] elkhshap:
hi are this guide succeed with my htc wildfire with original android 2.2.1

or not?

if not. how i can run lie wallpaper with original Rom 2.2.1

thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
-This guide will not root official 2.2.1

-LWP requires root. So you are stuck, unfortunately. (Unless you S-OFF your Wildfire with an XTC Clip and then root)
[Wildfire Android Development] elkhshap:
Now I can not work Root

How do I get from the device currently

Is it possible to install programs. Themes Games etc.:(
[Wildfire Android Development] the_k586:
HTC is currently reviewing their "locked bootloader" policy !

It would be nice if something good comes out.

It will be great for both of us (i mean their sales, and the hackers communitys)

Unfortunately, I wouldn't count on it.
[Wildfire Android Development] simPlexicallity:
I e-mailed HTC Holland regarding the issue whether already introduced phones will be unlocked. And they said that it's not known when, but they are not going to lock the bootloaders any more OR they will unlock them. Not entirely sure if they were talking about these older phones.. but let's hope for the best.

Is it root s-off or just unlock?

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Ask if they have an XTC Clip. As for the terminology, depends on the stores really, but, you can use S-OFF first, and if that doesn't register, unlock.

[Wildfire Android Development] enes11:
Hello @all,

i am from germany and have (my daughter) a branded (1&1) Wildfire.

(Unforunately) I made the update some months ago via OTA to 2.2.1

Now i realized that it was the greastest failure what i can do.

Since update it is very very very slow and it makes very crazy things on itself like dialing .. planing music etc.. really !!

as i read here.... i cannot believe that there is no way to del /erase this fu*g branded Rom.

Is there a way to upgrade to 2.1 then possibly can i root.

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] lokeshramesh:
There is a way of downgrading to 2.1 but you cant root it as hboot remains 1.01 which protect changes to system files.:(
[Wildfire Android Development] enes11:
thank you for response...

you mean it makes no sense to downgrade it to 2.1 ?

but i don,t understand everyone is using modded roms or ginger .. they upgrade them from 2.1

is it possible after downgrading then unbranding ....etc..

has anyone experience pleaseee..!.. or some dev,s working on it otherwise i will throw this thing away ..
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Devs are working on it. (Alpharev X), which will bring S-OFF to 2.2.1 Wildfire's. However, its a Work in Progress and there is no release date at all yet.

As for Custom ROMs, it works when upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 or even 2.3, because the bootloader files are untouched. The update to official 2.2.1 itself does not prevent rooting, it is the additional security imposed on the bootloader (which is included in the update), which prevents rooting.
