So I was thinking to root my phone but then i read that official froyo is coming soon so i might wait but will sometime update to gingerbread when a good rom comes out. So i was wonderign is overclocking dangerous and can it brick ur phone? ALso do the roms have finnish language? And wtf does nandroid back up mean and sd card back up and titanium backup? And can I unroot easily and use official rom on a rooted phone? I know i probably could have found all this stuff somewhere but really cant understand any of that **** so if sum1 could explain it to me So to sum up Should i root? ty

Well you can wait for official froyo and update, or you can install roms now when there are plenty of good froyo roms already, which become updated on the release of official froyo.
Overclocking can't brick your phone, don't set it to max as it becomes unstable. I duno about language, ask the devs. Nandroid = take a backup of your entire rom (phone memory), sd card back up is obvious, titanium backup = taking a backup of all your apps and settings and storing it on your sd card so you can restore it back.
Yes you can unroot by dling any RUU from www.shipped-roms/shipped/Buzz -> Connect phone to computer with usb debugging on and run the RUU which is an .exe file. Then root with unrevoked.
How do I know which RUU to pick? And wtf is clockwork mod? And radio?
And going to recovery? Anyway so would u guys recommend rooting?

RUU picking is very simple just look for the version number 2.1.x eclair 2.2.x froyo
and pick the one u want.
Clockwork mod is a utility for installing the roms and make back-ups of ur current rom with all you settings and files and everything.
I would definitely recommend rooting your phone cuz it allows u to take the most out of ur phone overclocking, live wallpapers (depends on ROM) and lots of other stuff
Good luck deciding

Oops i accidentally clicked the thanks button for you. LOL
Check which software version is. Usually in Menu -> About phone (or something similar). If the RUU of your version is not there, i would recommend dling a similar one to yours, or a WWE one. To go to clockworkmod (recovery menu). Hold down trackpad and press power button to turn on phone. This is where you can flash new roms, kernels etc (by going to Install zip from sd card). Kernels are ... special thingies for your phone that make it awesome, like Jacob's overclock kernel.
No rooting does not decrease your battery life, i wonder where you got that from :|

Hi, you have to copy the ROM's to the sdcard path, not in a folder.
You need an overclock kernel to overclock if you have a ROM wich doesn't have it. Usually, the Custom ROM's you can find on xda already have overclock kernels, so you don't have to flash one. If you want to overclock the stock HTC ROM, you will flash a new kernel.
Overclocking definitely improves the performance of the phone. You don't need to set it to 768 MHZ instead of the original 518. With just 576 (or less) for example, there is a big difference!

sdcard path? lol I really don't understand anything What about the radios? what do they do? And btw i coulnd't find buzz/wildfire RUU from shipped roms ANd when I root and if i don't install any rom will it just use the stock rom?
And do i need to install titanium back up and the nandroid thing before i root?
The ROM can be placed anywhere, on the root of the sd card, or in a folder. doesn't matter. all you do to flash it is go to 'Install zip from sd card' and then select the rom.
You can only install titanium backup after you root, and you can only do nandroid backups via clockworkmod (recovery) which is available when you root (using unrevoked).

1. SDCARD: I mean just in the sdcard, not in a folder inside the sd card.
2. Do not care about the Radio. The cooked ROM's will usually work. The Radio ROM contains the drivers for the communication devices of your phone. Some ROM's need one or more specific Radio ROM's to work properly. Usually the chef, who created the ROM recommends a Radio ROM. But don't mind, if your Radio Rom does not match, you can always flash another without needing to flash the ROM containing the Operating System (OS) again.
3. http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz (You will ask which one you have to download, tell me where are you from)
4. When you root, you can keep using the stock ROM, but rooted (so privileges). You don't need to flash another ROM if you don't want to

any other way to flash the official rom beside the way you show me before, actually i bought from 2nd hands, not me flash the hero. so maybe you can help me the easiest way...sorry to bother.
If you really want the easiest way, download and install the official RUU from HTCs website. However, this will make it harder for you to apply a custom ROM in the future.

Dave

If that's really what you want:
Make sure you have the usb drivers installed on your PC. Easiest way is probably to install HTC Sync, following HTC's instructions, assuming you don't have it set up already. Then just connect your phone to your PC via USB, download the RUU which will be an executable & double click on it. Can't get much simpler than that

This thread is not for the SPRINT HERO,.... This is for the GSM HTC HERO,.... You could seriously damage your phone using these instructions.
You need to start in the CDMA section.

Actually, it depends on what he is trying to do! If he's trying to install the RUU (from this thread) for the Sprint Hero, it should be fine.

I am swimming with the amount of info. I want to root for:
1. have an unrooted phone to add in performance and better battery management.
2. install a custom rom (for the above reasons)
3. install Froyo when available, I don't want to wait for HTC.
4. I don't like HTC sense. I'm using Tag Home
5. remove sprint bs.
Flashing radios, custom recoveries???? I'm lost a bit.
Can I just root via toast method and flash DC3.1 and I'm all good?
I'm a noob and am swimming with info overload!
Yes root and flash a rom and you're good. You might to flash a radio if the rom recommend you updating it for better performance.
Anyone know the radio flash for DC3.1? If there is one?

If you do a true brick, you can't and won't need to flash back a stock rom.
Follow part one and two of the rooting / unlocking nand guide. You'll be fine. The official sprint ruu can put you back to stock if needed.
Is this the stock sprint ruu?
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.zip
or
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe
What steps do I take to return to the stock rom if I don't want to root? Many thanks in advanced for tolerating this noob!
Its the exe file. Just connect your phone to your pc and run the exe.
Is the file pre-OTA SD fix? If so I guess I have to get the fix.
I assume once full froyo comes out instructions will be given where I can flash froyo?
Just some quick tips. DC3.1 is very bugged, you want DC3.1.1_Test2 right now.
Froyo currently no camera support, might want to wait...comes out next month supposedly anyways.
Requirements are you flash Toasts rooted rom with part 2 (nand unlock), this gives you a proper recovery, etc to flash unsigned roms.
Then go ahead and install whatever rom you like, many don't include the radio update, you can install that over any rom to update it.
Thank you very much!
I'm waiting for the official Froyo to flash.
I can't seem to find DC3.1.1_test2 can you send me a link or point me in the right direction?
Is the the radio file to flash? EVO-1.39.00.05.31-radio-signed.zip
Thanks Again!

Finally I purchased a Desire HD on Tmobile without any contract ( I Paid just for the phone) Waoow things did change a lot since all the roms I tried on my beloved HTC Blueangel.
It is locked on T Mobile
SW 1.39.110.1 Is this the latest rom? Although so far It didnt bother me all the bloatware from T Mobile, Is it worth leaving them alone ? I know it is possible to debrand desire and unlock etc. Is it also possible to Debrand Desire HD and unlock and flash with HTC Stock rom? Or shall I just not bother?
And also realised some of the HTC things dont work well HTC HUB unable to download catalog etc. Any reason?
Hi,
I got mine on monday afternoon, coming from a Desire.
By Tuesday morning it was Rooted running Leedroid's Rom, wow what a difference.
Only thing I dont like so far, (yes the screen is not as sharp/colourfull, but you do get used to it, it's just when they are side by side you really notice it), is that the ringtone etc is a little on the quiet side.
Apart from that, what a piece of hardware.
Good luck whatever you do, just enjoy it.
Cheers
Been reading on leedroids thread, Although it is easy to follow the instructions, I just would like to know what is permaroot s-off etc mean?

Since I got my new phone I can not stop reading
I completed visionary temp perm root
And S off unlock etc etc. checked at the boot S -off is there so now my existing orange sim works on this tmobile branded DHD all good.
I have done all this in order to actually put a stock rom on to my new phone without any tmobile bloatware on it.
Now the my phone is ready for a ROM
Can I just put HTC stock rom ? If I do will I be able to install a custom rom later on ? Would I loose root or any other features so far?
Many regards
If you're going to all that trouble, why bother with the stock ROM when LeeDRoid has created (and supports) a truely great custom ROM 1.51? Highly recommend it, as he has made it with a custom kernal allowing easy OC or UC with SetCPU & Smartass governor.
You made need to ENG S-off before flashing the recommended radio though. But make sure you do a full backup with ROM Manger and also copy full sdcard to PC first.
Thanks for your answer, I dunno why I kinda want to keep it stock for a little while before I start flashing with Developers excellent roms

Good idea. Then you will actually appreciate the advantages of leedroid when you get around to flashing it. Flash it straight away and you won't really know what the difference is.

Someone Swyped my idea.
If I was to flash with stock rom later on can I flash it to Leedroids rom later? As I read stock 1.72 2.2.1 somehow deroots and makes changes so can not flash it to custom roms ? Is that right ?If so what do you think my next step ?

As far as I know, you have to downgrade to 1.32 first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Then root again s-off with visionary, you can then upgrade to a custom rom & kernal (over/underclock CPU).
Some ROM are optimized to work with certain raidios (battery / reception performance, so to flash the suggested one, you'll need to Eng s-off as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076

on the first link about downgrade it says!
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
Not sure how this is related to me as mine is currently on 1.39

OK, I got you, the post wasn't that clear. Your now stock 1.39 considering upgrade to 1.72 or other OTA update / ROM?
If you upgrade OTA, it will "unroot" your phone, and then you'll have to follow the steps (or some of) I outlined in my previous post. That is if you wish to have root again.
If you wish to upgrade and have root, best bet would be to just install a custom 1.78 ROM and kernal to match.
Yes, for now I just want to upgrade to stock HTC 1.72 and perhaps later flash a custom Rom as I am not very clues up on Android devices ( coming from wm environment) as my previous post what should be my next step ( clean HTC stock Rom ) ?

How do I check my CID ? I cant seem to see it in the bootloader screen ? and anyone know what simlock image crc etc do?
I'd recommend getting permanent root (visionary), eng s-off AND radio s-off, install rom manager from market and flash clockwork mod recovery from it, and then there is a guide on here to upgrade to 1.72 without losing root, by flashing it through clockwork mod.
Still, the easier option is to install a custom rom since those will obviously not try to unroot your phone.

From Fastboot menu -> Bootloader -> System Info
If Super CID, should have CID-11111111, meaning carrier ID unlocked, enabling flashing of ROM other than carrier specific (I think).

Does anyone know when unrEVOked will be able to find a root for the Wildfire on 2.2.1? I hope they find it soon. From how much they've been delaying it seems like they just don't want to even try. Should I disable the Search online for updates feature so my phone stops updating?
* They will release it when they want to. We have no option or control over them. If they want to try, it is their wish, if they don't want to try, again it is their wish. Live with it.
* If you are already on 2.2.1, there's no point disabling search for updates because it is extremely unlikely there will be any.
*Sigh*, why cant you read already existing threads before creating another one? Is it too hard?
omfg! seems like you have disabled search function for this forum, this topic gets posted at least once a day

WildPuzzle 2.2.1 (Or rather, ANY custom ROM), removes the updated HBOOT. So, obviously, 2.2.1 will be rootable in such cases.

No. You will not be able to use a Custom ROM over Stock 2.2.1 because installing a Custom ROM requires root.

dont know how i managed it but thats what i've done
If I understood what you said, then I dont think you have installed the official 2.2.1 update. I cant see that anywhere in your post. (Saying you applied the official 2.2.1 update).
When you went back to the Stock ROM, it was still at 2.1, which is why the HBOOT was still at 0.80. To install the official update, from the Stock ROM, you would have to accept the OTA Update, and then install it, which I don't think you did.

when i went back to the stock rom it was deffo 2.2.1 i put the wildpuzzle rom straight over the top of it
Not possible. There is some error in communication somewhere, but, if it were possible to directly put Custom ROMs over the official 2.2.1, we wouldnt have had threads like this everyday.
unless after you rooted and flashed, you then installed a ruu then updated you did not have 2.2. when you went back did you restore a nandroid backup?
you are able to install ota update on rooted phone

this is the rom i used to get the 2.2 upgrade http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LF2TWEHJ
But isn't it possible to modify oryginal rom from HTC to downgrade HBOOT , and then make Wildfire rootable? Or make some crash in HBOOT witch will allow to root? That's a lot of ways, is it possible that HTC make Wildfire really unrootable on 2,2,1? That they make unlockable bootloader? Like a motorola?
Hi everyone,
I want to sell my wildfire so i installed an original rom on it. I wanted to check everyone so i tried to update to froyo but i can't find any updates. Please help.
Just flash a Froyo RUU (Starting with 2.x) from the Shipped ROMs site:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
i already did that but i will try it again. It wont harm my phone
You are already updated then. There is no official release after Android 2.2.1
I did that with android 2.1 not with 2.2

I hope u know that (froyo = android 2.2.1) and (eclair = android 2.1)
BTW, I saw only one froyo RUU in the buzz shipped roms website till date (excluding cn one). It is named like RUU_BUZZ_FROYO_HTC_WWE . It applies to u if ur device is debranded one. No matter what ur device is it even applies to u on making a gold card.
Then if ur device is carrier specific or regional specific then u can also do ota update manually. Download OTA_BUZZ_FROYO.zip of ur region . Rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of memory card (fat32). Then power off the device. Then hold volume down + power key. U will see hboot menu. After 10sec, then select recovery (power button for selection and vol keys for navigation) . Then u will see a red triangle. Now press vol up + power. Then it shows the option something like "apply sdcard update". Go with that. Make sure u have enough battery before doing this.
And ur phone can also be sold without updating I think. As the eclair one is also stock.
Hey If I want to install the ROM that came with the phone which one of the two should I use
RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_India_1.25.720.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe which is 133 MB
OR
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip which is only 58.3 MB
My phone is still unrooted. I would like to have a backup of the Original ROM ready just in case since my phone is still under warranty. Btw why is there a huge diff in size between the two ROMS?? Thanks a lot!!

The second is a ZIP which only contains the Froyo Update. It is not an RUU. So, your choice is limited to the first one.
My phone specs currently are :
Android version : 2.2.1
Baseband Version : 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
Kernel version : 2.6.32.21
Build Version : 2.25.720.1
Software number : 2.25.720.1
So can I use the RUU first to install the Android OS and then use the OTA to update???

Why do u want u use ruu + ota when u are on stock froyo already.
That build number is stock froyo afaik. Instead use alpharevX and then install custom roms if u need.

I am planning to use alpharevX to install the CM 7.0.3 stable mode. But since my cell is still under warranty (I bought it 3 months ago) I would like to revert back to the Original ROM so that I don't have warranty issues incase I have to submit the phone to the service centre.

Ok.
But presently there is no option to revert back to stock if u use alpharevX. Reverting back requires "hboot downgrader" which is yet to be released by alharevX. But I think it will not take much time .
Ok. Think again before going with alharevX. And if u make s-off do not make hard reset untill u make a nandroid backup.

Oh!! But how did yesjohn in this post go back to the original ROM. I guess he used another method to root. Anyway thanks for the info. Now I'm just a bit worried whether to continue rooting or no since I don't have anything to fall back to incase something happens. Many main concern is the warranty issue!!

He didn't have S-OFF. As for whether you want to root, it's totally your decision. BTW, pretty much everyone's Wildfire's here are still under warranty atleast officially, because if I am not mistaken it was launched in July 2010.

Yeah that's what I figured too. Thanks a lot for giving me the info. And yeah your right it was released in July 2010, so most of the phone have been rooted whilst they were under warranty.
One more question, If I do plan to root my phone using the alpharevX method, is there any way of recovery if something does go wrong???
I'm planning to use the CM 7.0.3 stable version. Any idea of how good it is??
I really appreciate your help!
I cannot say that with 100.00% certainty, because, its writes your HBoot, which is an extremely sensitive process, but, seeing how no one has got a bricked phone so far (If there are issues, all of them are resolvable, and, in all cases, the process fails, leaving the phone as it was before), you should be safe, if you do decide to go for it.

If u have issues with hboot 1.01.0002 then u can downgrade it to hboot 1.01.0001 by the process given by ieftm which will be in the wildfire dev section. But I haven't heard issues with Indian hboot 1.01.0002 if I'm correct.
