Root hboot 1.01.0001

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.

You'll have to wait for a new root sorry

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!!!
Then I run UNREVOED3
When I run UNREVOED3 process starts:
1. installs unrevoed 3 and reboot phone,
2. Then he starts rooting a.......and then :::::::::::::
3. SEE attached file [Error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new? ]

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.

[Q] Possible to root with HBOOT 1.00+

Ye, we're getting a few questions about this, and I just kinda assumed it was possible. But I'm not so sure now, so can it even be done?

ya im wondering this too...although wont be rooting until a stable gingerbread comes out...

Yes it is possible. In the blayo's instructions how to upgrade HBOOT to 1.00, you can find the method, which gives you a root access. I've managed to root my legend,after accidantly updating it to official stock froyo rom

You mean to downgrade from 1.01 or to upgrade from 0.43? , what threads did you use to manage this process? , I've got an Hboot version of 1.01, Software version 3.15.707.3 (I think it's different from yours) do you think my requirements might work with your rooting methods as well?;o

Yes you can root HBOOT 1.01 I have done it following blay0's guide. You have to downgrade from froyo then root as usual then flash rooted froyo rom.

A guide has now been made and posted here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845512
This is the thread, just read the Prerequirements and Rerequirements, then follow the instructions for Already OTA updated with HBOOT 1.00. It is true that this thread gives you instrucions how to upgrade HBOOT and keep root, but with froyo ota installed, you already have upgraded HBOOT, so this instrucions here are just for rooting it.
Good luck

[Q] Legend ... rooting ... froyo ?!

Hi to all...
I've just unbranded and than updated my HTC Legend to Froyo following procedures that i've found in the forum...
My tasks have also included to downgraded it to 1.31 because impossible to succed with the "simple" one even if the bootloader version was 0.43.xxxx.
Btw, after have downgraded it I've run the OTA and installed 2.1 and then re-used the procedure to upload a froyo version...
What I'm asking now is : I'll have to refollow the entire procedure to root my phone? Need I use a specific rom to keep my Legend rooted? Are there No chances to root it without doing again all the steps?
cheers and thx

If you have rooted once, you should not be able to upgrade OTA...
What version of HBOOT do you currently have?

Hboot is 1.01.0000
After have downgraded to 1.31 I succeed to OTA to 2.01 (or 2.1, not sure about that) but than failed another OTA to 2.2
Then I've used the .exe found on the forum to update to froyo.

well then if you want to root, you'll have to do all that again, preferrably following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465

Will try it

[Q]Can you downgrade from Android 2.3?

Has anyone been able to downgrade Android 2.3 back to 2.2?
People are trying to downgrade their phones back to 2.2 and use one of the rooting methods, because none of them will work an Android 2.3.
I've heard that some, but very few people, have been able to do it by running an RUU back to stock. There has to be a reason why some have been able to downgrade, but not others. It seems that if the phone has never been rooted, then it cannot be done (downgraded or rooted). That may be because the bootloader is S-ON.
My question is, if the phone was previously rooted, then unrooted, then updated to Android 2.3, if the phone is somehow downgraded using an RUU, is it only because the phone is still S-OFF, or some other reason?
I already know how to root it if the phone is still S-OFF and was updated to 2.3. The question is still, if the phone is successfully downgraded using an RUU back to Android 2.2 stock (with hopes of rerooting), is it because the bootloader is still S-OFF?
These questions are really more to help others than they are for me because too many people are trying unsuccessfully to downgrade their phone in the hopes of rerooting. If there are no good answers, then obviously downgrading will not be the route to take.
(AND YES, MOST OF THEM SHOULD NOT HAVE UNROOTED, but everyone makes mistakes.)

Yes, they are only able to downgrade because their phone is already unlocked with s-off.
Its really a waste of time tbh, all you have to do is flash a recovery and you're done.

Look on the dev forum for RA recovery or clockwork recovery. Both of them include a way to flash them via bootloader menu on the evo.

Root after upgrading on 2.3.3

Hi,
I just want to know if with the 2.3.3 the root process is diffrent, or just do the same thing as the old 2.2.1.
Anyone as already tried?

funny story its non existent, it cant be rooted and wont be for a very long time if ever

I think you're wrong, cause maybe just needs to downgrade the firmware as usual.
But I need someone who already did it.

if you can figure out how to downgrade it, go ahead. But as of yet, there's no way to root the official gingerbread update.

And how about the "goldcard" ? create one, and then install just lower version via recovery or something... I've read somewhere that u can install lower builds of OTA and then root the phone ... will that work? or i just missed something during lecture...

I believe that the desire hd gingerbread update has been rooted by means of downgrading. We just need to wait for someone to figure it out for us DZ users

I did that for rooting the 2.2.1 and downgranding to 2.2
Hope works for this one too.

Goldcard won't work, yet.
Stay tuned though, very soon a temp-root will be released, which will allow you to downgrade.
