[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
The only one who knows if there are developers working on it, are the dev's themselves. And you won't get an answer in this forum I think (most of them are sick of getting that question).

At the moment of speaking there is no way of getting root an wildfire with hboot 1.01.000x. so you won't find a guide elsewhere on the internet. If one finds a way to root and publishes it on his/her blog, I can garantee you that one hour later you will read it here, fourseen with all commands and experiences of people with knowledge of those things :-)

Buzz Pvt SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-1.01.0001

Android 2.2.1(Froyo)

Can it be rooted?

As i've seen it can but with HBOOT ending in 02, mine ends in 01. Is there really such a big difference?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skye Menjou:
If its S-OFF it can be rooted you just need a goldcard to flash a recovery.

Yes but it says there I need an XTC Clip....I was hoping there wouldn't be any need for it since my phone is S-OFF.

Oh well, not risking to brick my phone...waiting for some other methods.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogusteliade:
you don't need to use XTC Clip if your phone it's S-OFF. the purpose of XTC Clip is to make S-OFF.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dethox:
First of all, thx for the fast reply.

Ok I understand now that I don't need the xtc clip...but how do I root the phone now if my S-OFF?

Do I first need to downgrade to 2.1? If so can you give me a link on how to do that?

Btw....any recommended Roms for Wildfire?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] von kain:
any news? on the root?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
There is in the devlopement section a toppic called "XTC clip done S off now what ?" where 3xeno answered by giving multiple links to fine tutorials that explane what you should do next (sorry, can't link because i'm using the xda atm).

The comment given in that toppic applies for you as well: first try to use the search button in this forum, and if you realy realy can find anything, ask it in the appropriate toppic.

The same thing for your second question - it has already been answered a few times (and to be very short: you will have to try them yourself to see what suits you best).

It is not that people aren't willing to answer any question, how dumb they might look: the people with the big brains here once had the same questions. But it is a bit frustrating to have to give the same answer to the same questions every day. Which happens a lot these days, unfortunatly.

Anyway, have fun exploring your totaly u locked device! ;-)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Expecting u must have already done it by now. Anyways, giving u the link of the thread what ErwinP noted. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081427 In that go with the links of post #2 by 3xeno. U have 2 ways. And downgrade is not compulsory

Thank you

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex Charles:
I was stuck in the same situation with absolutely no idea what to do :eek:

As previously posted there is no way of root via a software method (unrevoked), you can follow unrevoked on twitter to find out any information but it's hit and miss.

The only way (and the easiest way) to do it is via a XTC clip. You don't need to buy the clip, i sent it off to a shop in England which did it for me for just over £10.

This turns the device S-OFF.

Once it's S-OFF'd install clockwork mod recovery, then feel free to install a custom ROM such as CM7 which has superuser rights.

Feel free to ask any questions or just search around for any answers to any of the steps, best of luck!:D

old post is old...

but i surely want a 1 click root,something like a windows wizard for root and not a 1239045723904587 words tutorial.

(ehmmm guys if you want to make root more mainstream its easy.MAKE IT EASY)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Revolutionary/AlphaRev X IS 1 Click. Connect your phone to PC, run it. It does everything automatically.

Honestly, if you cannot comprehend that, you don't deserve to be messing/modding around with your phone.

Besides, no one is obligated to make root "EASY AND MAINSTREAM". I think you should be glad you got it in the first place.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] von kain:
i don't.

i just want to make it more fun not alter it altogether.

no is not,its several non noob steps and thats is mostly because of corporate lockings.

you know why you always hear from android noobs " i should buy an iphone instead of this"

1 click jailbreak.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
I understand what you are trying to say, but, in my view, I think if you are going to root, you must be prepared to perform some tasks, because iPhone jailbreaking is a totally different arena. It's done just to enable pirated apps, (For the majority, atleast)

Besides, if someone IS looking for a noob-friendly phone, the iPhone is definitely better. Because its locked down and non-customizable compared to Android, you obviously don't have to spend time understanding it at all.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
The way i rooted. Search for "Ginger break" in market, or download it in PC from some where else. Transfer it to phone via Bluetooth. Install it and it will do the rest.

Another way on s-off Device is, use fast boot flash from computer to install a clockwork mod recovery. Then download and put the preffered rom( which is already rooted, just like cyanogenmod ) which is available as flashable zip in SD card. Then install the rom from SD, done you will boot into a rooted is.

Every morning I do a quick search of the interwebs to check for new ROM leaks - so I search "Epic" "Froyo" "DL11" "DL15" etc.

[Epic 4G General] tonysohn:
Good finding!
[Epic 4G General] DeltaTL6:
So after more than a week, Samsung still hasn't completed this simple FAQ, no wonder it's taking them so long to get FroYo out.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I don't see why they wouldn't push out the latest version. Average person isn't going to want to flash again a week later for minor fixes.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
Samsung finished with froyo about a month and a half to two months ago and publicly announced that they gave the build to carriers, its been sprint that has been taking forever to do their modifications to it and then release it
[Epic 4G General] chocoberry:
This is very interesting, indeed.
[Epic 4G General] DeltaTL6:
Right, I know Sprint also has a hand in this. But Samsung really hasn't released one that doesn't fry your memory chip and/or brick your phone.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
What are you talking about? Samsung wouldn't publicly release something that messes up your phone and they can't release an OS straight to our phones anyways, it has to go through the carrier before its released

This is really the only reason I miss the evo...atleast the coorperate devs t htc and sprint rolled out updates...they have gotten 3 updates while we are still stuck on di18
[Epic 4G General] jeremiah.rs:
I have to be honest, I'm really reconsidering buy this thing. The evo can be modified in all kinds of ways, and it gets updates from Sprint/HTC in a much more timely fashion.

Samsung and Sprint doesn't seem to give a crap about the Epic for some reason, I'm not sure why since Sammy has sold close to 10 million of these galaxy s phones. I mean if you don't support these devices and provide timely updates, I don't see people being repeat customers of Samsung.

This has been my first non HTC smartphone, and frankly its looking to be my last, its a shame too, the hardware itself is terrific.

[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
well thats good if we are at dl19 instead of dl15

as long as they are actively working on it and making improvments, I am ok with the wait.

nice find
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It's not that they don't give a crap about it. Froyo was designed on and optimized for a different processor and file system. For whatever reason, Samsung insists on using their own file system, which means they basically have to port Froyo to work with their specs. In addition, a company that only makes phones and pda's like HTC, can concentrate 100% of their resources on those products. While Samsung is making microwaves, TV's, Cameras, and whatever else, so they prioritize a little differently.
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
There comes a point though when they have to actually release something. Would you still be ok with the wait if they decide to start working on build DL21 and then move on to DL24, etc... and not release a damn thing in the mean while?

This is just freaking ridiculous. We were promised before the end of the year we would have Froyo and it seems that is not going to happen now. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
Confirming the existence of a build doesn't confirm the existence of a release. Since the galaxy s is still being actively supported and developed on, there will obviously be builds after this release. Just my 2¢
[Epic 4G General] jeremiah.rs:
I didn't know Samsung changed up the file system, that's kinda stupid imo.

As for the argument regarding HTC, Samsung is a much much larger company than HTC, most divisions in companies such as this are compartmentalized and work independently of other divisions.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
My 0.02$ is that as long as our devs keep pumping out great roms and cm is getting ported I'm a happy camper. Source code would be great since it would make our devs lives easier but I could care less about official releases. I'm running dk28 and I have only one gripe (slow screen rotation) but other than that I'm one happy camper who will be a whole lot happier when I get cm.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It's not an argument. Just a fact. Regardless of how large and compartmentalized a company is, the mobile communications division answers to someone, and that someone is not gonna pressure them to push out software updates to a device that continues to sell upwards of 10 million units even with older software. Most people that own a Galaxy S phone don't even know or care which version of Android is running on it. We are in the minority.

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
There are multiple SGS devices with froyo. Its the carriers fault, not samsung
[Epic 4G General] emuneee:
The carriers don't add or modify software from a handset OEM. The carriers send their requirements to the handset OEM and bake the additional software/services in to the ROM.

Also, for some reason, US carriers have a more thorough and extensive testing process than most international carriers. It can take weeks for devices and updates to finish through some certification processes....and if the carrier changes or alters requirements or bugs are discovered, that can affect the timetable as well. I hope Samsung went ahead and went directly to Android 2.2.1 for US Galaxy S devices.
