Hi,
Is there a way of rooting a wildfire with hboot 1.01.0001?
Downgrate... goldcard... any method!

No

Short Answer is NO , s0rry to be the bearer of bad news , lolz gonna have to wait till someone figures it out , thats why i never flash an RUU or OTA upgrade unless i KNOW what its goin to do

this is soo funny, people wait to get official froyo, then they want to root. instead they could have rooted before and get a custom froyo rom anyway.
And there were many warnings not to update to the OTA or RUU unless a newer method came out.
Bad luck guys

not everybody is a wizzkid and understand all the thechnical things.

Nothing technical about it, all you have to do is search and read.

Rooting HTC Wildfire (firmware too new ???)
Hi,
I have the same update
H BOOT-1.01.0001
NOV.17.2010
I manage to install usb driver via Speedy0339
ONLY THAT WAY I MANAGE TO INSTALL H BOOT USB driver!!!

Root with Unrevoked
Unrevoked as we speak are trying to root the new Froyo update for the wildfire.
as the change log says.
v3.31:
Backed ClockworkMod down to 2.x series on EVO 4G; now 2.6.0.1.
Still has new kernel. Still has WiMAX key backup. Now supports amend scripting again.
ROM authors: fix your ROMs! Support will go away again in 3.x.x.x: Koush has a good thread explaining the reason why.
Improved compatibility with Android 2.1 (fixes “am reported error starting service”).
Increased root timing window (fixes “failed to get root” on supported devices).
v3.3:
Fix for latest EVO 4G OTA (3.70.651.1) and EVO 4Gs with new versions of HBOOT (2.02 and 2.10).
Switched exploits for all platforms; hopefully more reliable than rageagainstthecage
Updated ClockworkMod, with plenty of new features:
3.0.0.2 for EVO 4G, which has a new kernel (for better WiMAX safety), and supports WiMAX key backup
2.5.1.2 for Incredible, which supports SLCD
No update for Wildfire yet; sorry. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Only Snow Leopard is supported in the OS X build.
No update for Wildfire yet; sorry
maybe in the next update they seam to update pretty quick its just a waiting game now.

If you've read the thread, you would know that there is no way to root that HBOOT version. Unrevoked 3 currently only works on the stock HBOOT.

Solution for downgrade is not working. At least, untill a temp root exploit will be found for this new hboot.

I just recently bought my Wildfire, Never thought of rooting it till i found HBoot by mistake was just messing around i am also on HBoot-1.01.0001 like its said so many times on here root can't be done, i was messing with that z4root app on it and on temp it doesn't error out only on perm it does. So does this mean the temp root works ?
If so is there anyway you could flash with a temp root please bare with me i am a Linux person and the Andriod OS is Linux in a sense but Andriod is new to me and as such this might sound noobish.

Need some help

Ok, my wildfire has hboot 1.01.0001 and it got S-OFF via the XTC Clip....anyway, unrevoked (latest version ive downloaded from the enurevoked site) still cant root the phone (i keep on getting the "is your firmware to new" message over and over).
What to do to get it rooted now?

What I did was to install an older ruu from the shipped rom website. After you did install it you should be able to use unrevoked.
Success

Which one, there are kinda many out there?

Why make it difficult for yourself put an older ruu and then use unrevoked. It's a little more work but if you are not sure what you do then it is the best way.

The method posted at:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000367
worked, rooted now )))))

getting S-OFF in your device is what u need to root froyo wildfire. once u have got S-OFF, u can root wildfire in two ways
1.noobs guide to root wildfire froyo official
2.flashing an older android 2.1 rom update utility, so that u can root with unrevoked software.
regarding the process of noobs guide, u can search here in the wildfire xda forum to know the process. it uses super one click method to root the phone.
and regarding the second process, im describing it here.
once u have got S-OFF in your device, then it is possible to downgrade your bootloader. only do this with official ROM UPDATE UTILITY. donot do it with any other process. go to the website
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/
there download ur region rom exe file. the most important thing is to download a android 2.1 rom. donot download the froyo rom. then make the ROM UPDATE UTILITY. at the end of that process u will get an official 2.1 on ur device with downgraded bootloader (0.80). then root ur phone with an updated version of unrevoked. thats all.
i dont know whether S-OFF persists after the official RUU.

GGGreat News! Now Offical 2.3 can be ROOTED!

Just install it, I have varified the app! Enjoy it!

NOPE, IT CANNOT BE ROOTED unless you have S-OFF. If you do, it is possible. Old news.
My downgrade guide uses the original GingerBreak binary to gain temporary root, so people with S-ON, just downgrade and be happy.

S-OFF? Radio or Eng, or both?

I'm still on 1.32. I'm a total noob and haven't yet mustered the courage to root my phone. Should I do this before I install the new Gingerbread update? Or can I do this later on after I upgrade to gingerbread?

Now. You can right to "root" without the fuss of Gingerbreak / downgrading.

Mate, does this also install Gingerbread for the HTC desire hd.
Thanks

No.

Thanks for the info. I will root before updating. Once rooted, will I be able to use the regular OTA updates?

yes you can use them, but u will loose root and get s-on again if you use a ruu/official update

Claim!!!
I have just flash my phone with the new 2.3 ruu, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE! INSTALL IT, AND MY PHONE IS ROOTED!!!! WHY NO ONE BELIEVE ME?
PS: This is DESIRE HD Forium, Of course my phone is DESIRE　ＨＤ.

Show us your bootloader, and do not shout.

What you should do is root, get Radio S-OFF, and then unroot & do the OTA. After updating to Gingerbread, just run the Gingerbreak by Chainfire (search) to root again.

[Q] simple question about hboot

guys, i'm sorry to ask this question but i never got the answer from reading all the stuff here. i have a froyo 2.2, stock, the classical one from the last OTA upd., not rooted, a 3.15.405.3 build, with hboot 1.01 and i would like to root the device . 1) do i need to "downgrade" the hboot to 1.00 ? i couldnt find any guide to this one 2) do i have to downgrade to 1.31. version as the Unlockr says? his video is from the 13.12.2010 so i'm wondering if the things have changed since then.
thanks for any answers, hope i dont make some people angry

You can't downgrade your hboot. But correct you need to downgrade your ROM to root your phone..

so i just downgrade the rom and thats it? i mean..the procedure with the gold card + downgrade etc but no worries about the hboot? thanks in advance

Now you need to flash clockwork recovery which will let you install custom ROM(CM7 for example).read carefully on unlocker.com and you should get answer for all your questions related to rooting your legend.

http://theunlockr.com/
Not unlocker.com. Gotta go to the right one if you wanna do the right thing, eh?
EDIT: WHOOPS! EVEN I FAILED THERE. MY BAD. Thanks ivanakis!

uuupsss...sorry.my bad.

theunlockr.com is the right one i think

[Q] Unrevoked 3.32 and HTC Wildfire

Hey. Well searching on the forums or at all I just can't find a straight answer.
I have HTC Wildfire with Android 2.2.1. Can I use the newest Unrevoked 3.32 now to root this device?
I went through all the posts in this thread and the last person on page 47 mentioned he was able to do so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776&page=47
I want to be sure before I attempt to do this and possibly brick it

Well, thus far, that is the only post that has show unrEVOked to work on 2.2 ota.
May I suggest to you my way?

He (post #461) didn't clearly say that he used unrevoked.
Posting in that related thread doesn't mean using the process right.
And if u can see his previous post (#460), it gives the link to this process
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
So, don't use unrevoked for wildfire alpharev hboot. Ofcourse we should't forget unrevoked .

Your question was answered. Why bump needlessly? No you can NOT use Unrevoked to root your device. You will have to get S-OFF first via AlphaRev X, then, use SuperOneClick v1.9.5 to get root, and, if you are interested in getting a Custom Recovery to flash Custom ROMs and stuff, you can follow nejc's post.
Unrevoked does not come into the picture at all if you are on official 2.2.1.
One more thing, there is no way to remove S-OFF once you perform it. (yet) So, if warranty is essential for you, keep this in mind.
EDIT: Read the Post before the post on Page 47 of the thread you posted (Last Post of Page 46). Then you will see the continuity. He did NOT use Unrevoked to root his phone.

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776&page=47 (same as the link above) is also the method I used and I must say it worked like a charm!

Well, 3xeno, you CAN use Unrevoked to root the device. I did, worked flawlessly.
1.) S-OFFed with AlphaRev X.
2.) Installed 2.1 RUU.
3.) Used Unrevoked to root and flash recovery.
4.) Happily using CyanogenMod 7.

It may be working. But it shouldn't be recommended buddy.
After s-off, ruu + unrevoked is completely unnecessary process and a risky process which includes possibility of errors. And moreover a lot lengthier process.
I think these are some disadvantages of it...
-- it includes flashing of radio and an attempt to overwrite hboot both of which are sensitive process. Ofcourse RUU generally will not brick the phone. But when phone is S-OFF, it skips the signature check which means AFAIK it cannot differentiate a bad file and a good file.
-- there will be two eclair RUUs present. And flashing the oldest eclair RUU will mostly result in touch screen failure. This should be fixed by flashing the newest eclair or froyo ruu again.
-- I think the unrevoked version installs the 2.x recovery for wildfire. Since unrevoked is not released for a while for wildfire I think so. If yes, it means cannot install 2.3 roms unless using rom manager or by reflashing recovery with regular processes. And ofcourse the offline charging bug.
Unrevoked software hacks the greatest security so as to install the custom recovery. And what if there is no security at all. Even simplest methods can do the job.

Sure, but, I wont recommend it. Also, because it seems that this method is widely recommended, the forums are full of "Touchscreen Fail" after flashing the Eclair RUU.
Besides, I don't get what's the issue with using Fastboot, where just 1 line in Command Prompt will do it, but, whatever suits people............ Fastboot is supposed to be a breakthrough feature when you get S-OFF using AlphaRev X, and, it's sort of an "insult" to not use it.

Well, it worked for me. I guess I'm lucky.
