Use unrevoked 3.21 or 3.14 (3.14 is the one i used).
Version 3.21 worked for me.. tried it quite a few times with Win 7...faced some issue..but worked like magic on ubuntu..one click and root..

Hi,
Is there a way of rooting a wildfire with hboot 1.01.0001?
Downgrate... goldcard... any method!
No
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
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

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!!!
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.
Hi everyone.
I have a two questions about the XTC clip that I can't find an answer to using search.
When I purchased the phone it came with the unrootable hboot and Android 2.2.1.
I have sourced a HTC clip and will be unlocking my Wildfire today. Once unlocked will I need to flash an older version of hboot - to then allow me to install a custom rom? or can I just install a custom rom as soon as it's done?
My second question is has anyone actually done this and can confirm it works?
Thanks!
xtc clip -> s-off ->
downgrade phone with ruu rom -> hboot 0.8 ->
unrEVOked for root ->
costum rom.
The phone is now set to s off!
Know where I can get the Rom to downgrade?
Thanks!

Dude it is a HARDWARE BOX!
aman_idrish
you really need to stop what youre doing. If you already could read, you would already know that you cant download xtc clip. Its an item you BUY on http://www.xtcclip.com and not a piece of software.
And NO it does not help asking the same questions 10 times, and then starting making private messages to people asking the same questions.
Now, start to grow up, use the search buttom and search for help, like the most of us. If you cant do that then I'm not sure you should ever bought a phone like android where you can make so many changes.
If you ever get it rooted, what can we then experience from you ? Questions about how you repair it from the disasters you have applied it ?
So start searching...... the answers are there including those you ask all the time. They have been answered.
@3xeno
can you tell me where i can download a softice, i'm really in the mood for one, but i cant find anything about it even though i've searched the forum ???? pls
p.s. it's not really hardware, its soft-ice

Actually,
I have absolutely no idea which one I need to install! I assume it will be one below 2.2 from the UK but that's where I get lost!
Help is appreciated
Thanks for the input so far!
I think this will take you back to the first official rom of wildfire

Thanks,
Downloading it at the moment - Thanks very much for the help. So I'm right in thinking this will downgrade my current hboot to a previous version - which will then let me install Cyanogen and other custom roms?
This is my first HTC phone so I have never actually rooted one before!
Hope this works.

No need of downgrade or Unrevoked if already S-OFF
Sorry to "disappoint" you guys but there is no need to downgrade & Unrevoked at all, if the smart is set to S-OFF.
Explanation is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
NOTE: The method is successfully tested on several smarts.
If you want to suck the MAX of Wildfire try CyanogenMod 7 RC2 (need to reflash the radio to fix GPS), or better wait a while for stable release - coming soon.

first I tried z4root; then universal androot; then super one click 1.7, then 1.9.5, then 1.5.5. the apps failed & super one click just kept locking up.
So finally it dawned on me, to try removing (uninstall) the USB drivers for my SGH-I897 (Captivate), and give super one click one last try (I used 1.5.5 - so I can't confirm the success of later/newer releases).
Please don't be a jackass like me, and remove your old / other device drivers first.

Yeah, you won't be able to go back . However, for your general connection issue, I experienced the same thing, downloading HTC Sync worked for me.
I don't know if I'm missing something, but are you still s-off? Do you have a custom recovery like Clockwork or Amon-Ra?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you do, you should be able to flash any ROM you want, possibly even downgrade the hboot (which I believe is what's keeping you from using the RUU, not that it matters if you can flash ROMs).
