Hey everybody,
I'm opening this thread as a support tool for AplhaRev X.
I'm going to go first with my problem.
Phone gets detected, Beta key accepted and then I get to aquiring root.....
And that seems to be as far as I can get. I just seem to get stuck there.
Firstly I did it using Windows 7, which tells you to wait up to 15 mins and I went over this period. I did a factory reset on phone and tried again with the same result
I've just tried the Linux version on Ubuntu, again with the same result.
I've been connected as charge only, usb debugging turned on.
Currently running eclair 1.37 WWE but with hboot 1.01.0002 after several downgrades/upgrades attempting to root my phone. I am also using a goldcard and a modded misc image.
Why am I getting stuck at this point? Do I need to flash 2.2 first? Do I need to format sdcard or something?
Thanks
Im kind of new to android and I would love to try this, but could some1 please first post or link me a guide wich tells me what to do after this alpharev X's s-off, if i would like to install cyanogenmod (and i guess clockwordmod recovery needs to be installed too)?

redownloaded for hboot 1.01.0001 ran it and instant success.
Well done AlphaRev, its fantastic what you have achieved.

Is there anything else that I need beside AlphaRev X software? Because I run the software and connect the phone and it says "Waiting for device...". I left it for ten minutes and it still didn't detect my phone. Also, I have enabled USB debugging and selected "Charge only" mode when connected to PC. Am I doing something wrong?
Also note that I don't know a lot about flashing.
Thanks in advance
You need:
Unrevoked hboot drivers: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
ADB:
Download Android SDK
@dannyjmcguinness
good to see it solved. Issue maybe due to gingerbreak supporting froyo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Hooda_mask
What is ur os version. Have u downgraded to eclair without downgrading hboot (there is a process actually).
Maybe u also need the unrevoked hboot drivers. Uninstall htc sync if present.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Alternatively, irrespective of process, try to connect phone to pc in fastboot mode and check the command fastboot reboot from command prompt "tools folder" of android sdk (where fastboot.exe lies) and see whether phone reboots or not.

It is probably worth mentioning that these drivers are only required if you are using Windows. If you use the Linux version no additional drivers are needed.

Have you tried a factory reset first?
I've done 2 devices but I got another one 1 to do.
1 of them was on Vodafone 2.2. That one was successful.
There was another update for Vodafone after Froyo, which was installed on the one I'm having problems with, resulting in same error.
Are you fully OTA updated?
1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001
[Deleted]
If Anyone having problem with doing S-OFF then verify this before proceeding:
1. Make sure you have Froyo (Official) WWE ROM installed. So that you will have version 2.2.1
2. Make sure you have WWE ROM installed so that your hboot version will be 1.01.0001 as there's some problem with others like 1.01.0002 or so..
3. Make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled as it may interrupt the normal operation of the tool. DON'T UNINSTALL DRIVERS.
4. Make sure you are in Charge Only mode and Debugging Mode Option selected. If not goto Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging - Check this option.
5. Make sure your phone is connected with turned on in normal mode not in hboot or recovery or fastboot mode.
6. If you have Eclair ROM upgrade it to FROYO and if you have Regional ROM which has hboot different from 1.01.0001 then downgrade it to WWE ROM by using below method provided by dannyjmcguinness:
Code:
1. Started out with hboot 1.01.0002 and Froyo 2.2.1 preinstalled when I bought it new.
2. Achieved shell root using the psneuter hack (newbies, you may find it easier using SuperOneClick 1.65 or 1.7 for this). You should now have root #.
3. Run command "adb shell cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0.img". This creates an image of mtd0 on sdcard. There are other tutorials with theses kind of steps and you may find it referred to as misc.img as opposed to mtd0.img. This doesn't really matter as long as the final command includes the correct file name. This command will fail if connected as disk drive, you must be charge only.
4. Reconnect as disk drive allowing computer gui access to sdcard. Using a hex editor (I used HxD, which is freeware) open disk image mtd0 on sdcard. On line 6 you should find a version number and it will look something like 2.22.405.1. This needs to altered to correspond to the RUU you intend to flash. If you are on hboot 1.01.002 you need an WWE RUU first that contains hboot 1.01.001 so you are still looking at reinstalling Froyo. Those allready on hboot 1.01.001 may choose any WWE RUU. I'm not absolultley sure, but it may be possible for those on those on hboot 1.01.002 to skip to another RUU but I think you would more than likely get a "customer ID" error.
5. I used the goldcard method to flash my RUU. There are many tutorials, but some seem to sequence different steps. To get mine working I used the goldcard tool available on these forums, but found it wouldn't work. It does, however do a good job of getting your CID and reversing it for you, so copy that and use the page provided with the tool to get your goldcard via email.
6. Make sure you are connected as disk drive and open HxD again. Open the goldcard image as read-only. Also open the sdcard (after using windows to full format it, fat32). Oh yeah, dont forget it needs to be a primary partition (do this before format) there is a handy free tool called "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition", which is so easy to use. Make sure physical sd disk is opened and read-only is unchecked.
7. Copy the goldcard using HxD (select all, or 0 - 17F) and overwrite the same blocks on sdcard. Save it.
8. Disconnect phone from PC and allow phone to mount, reconnect as disk drive. If phone or PC asks for format keep repeating sequence until normal operation can be maintained.
9. Download "flash_image" a file with no extension. Push it to sdcard. You need to have flash_image and your modified mtd0.img on your sdcard (It may be useful to ceate goldcard before creating mtd0.img, unless you back it up to PC before goldcard creation).
10. Run command (connected charge only, as root) "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
11. Run command "chmod 0755 /data/flash_image" On a seperate note I've been using permission set 67676 as I've noticed the permission set seems to be more then 4 digits, there seems to be 5, poosibly even 6 digits. This particular permission changes some of the permissions to capital characters. What use this is, i dont know I'm looking into it though
12. run command "/data/./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtdo.img"
13. You should now be able to flash RUU or pull rom.zip from temp files when running RUU and rename PC49IMG.zip
14. PC49IMG.zip should be pushed to root of sdcard if using goldcard (I don't know if RUU can be flashed normally without goldcard, but i think so, i dont think RUU pushes rom.zip to sdcard but it may be necessary as a CID thing).
15. Its now successfully downgraded to 1.01.0001 (WWE FROYO ROM)
Or check here too for downgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028&highlight=1.01.0002+to+1.01.0001
Hope after this checks you can S-OFF successfully.
Quick question, anyone got any patched hboot partition tables? Ordo i have to do it myself?
SORRY had enough I JUST WONT HAVE IT DONT NO WHAT I AM DOING JUST KEEPS FAILING ALL THE TIME S-OFF YES I AM NEED HELP BIG TIME
Good lord, it's working!
This is kinda weird...
I ran the tool.
It ended by saying everything went smooth but when I try to boot into recovery or run any app that needs root access it just tells me that I'm not rooted...
The 'funny' thing is that when I boot into HBOOT at the top of the screen it says:
---AlphaRev ---
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
.
.
.
So it says S-OFF but apparently not.
When I try to run AlphaRevX again I'm told that my phone is not supported...
Any one?

It just gave you S-OFF. Not a Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod, and not the Superuser binary which gives you root access. These are additional processes which you all have to perform after getting S-OFF. Refer this guide:

Hello.
Please.
Thank you.
after looking into many posts and trying for over a week i still can't manage to root my cousin's HTC wildfire.
he bought it of T-mobile with contract and i flash "RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe" only thing that changed flashing that he can now use battery for longer hours. but still i can't manage to S-off (security off).
I've tried
1: revoked
1a: revoked using custom method
2: alpharevx (the iso says not competable)
3: tried using Superone tool
4: almost everything on XdA website and outside
well i am not sure what is wrong
whenever i try to flash recovery through ADB fastboot or other methods it give me error and wont let it go thru, even if i push it thru adb it just give me error at end and thats all... so frustrating.
Any suggestions? any help?
Appreciate ur help in advance and thanks for taking time looking into this post.
Cheers

Unrevoked won't work on hboot 1.01 . And if your hboot is 0.80, then you need to install hacked hboot drivers in windows pc to use unrevoked. And there is no alpharevx ISO bootable cd yet AFAIK. May be you have used alpharev 1.8 ISO image which is not supported for wildfire. Then superone click root method will not give a permanent root to wildfire with S-ON.
Looks like your hboot is 1.01.x
Check your hboot version first. Power off your device. Then by holding vol down key, power on the device. Now you will see hboot menu. If your hboot version is 1.01.x with s-on then alpharevx is the only option to root your phone presently.
This link applies to you if your hboot is 1.01.x. If you face any problems with alpharevx program, then downgrade to hboot 1.01.0001

NO LONGER TAKING Q'S. HAVE MOVED TO X8 FORUM!! HI everyone. i have started this thread as i didnt know what to do when i first had to send my wildfire back for repairs. first download the attatched zip. unzip to desktop and make sure u have got the drivers for your bootloader interface already installed. to do this you will need just two things. the zip you have just downloaded and the HBOOT which i included inside the ziped file. once extracted run the java file named S-ON.jar and plug your phone in and turn on fastboot. once connected make sure you click on check connection. once you have done that you should see your serial number appear. okay your ready to go. look for the first tab and click on it. then click on HBOOT/SPL. locate the HBOOT file you inzipped with the S-ON tool and then click it. once done just click on flash HBOOT/SPL. once done you will see it says FLASH HBOOT/SPL/SUCCESS. thanks for takuing time to look at my GUIDE and i hope it helps you. just remember one thing only flash the new HBOOT after you have installed the RUU which is android 2.2.1 so you can root again. and remember you can also get S-OFF again the exact same way
BEFORE you attempt to flash new HBOOT to gain s-on. please click start on your pc then goto run then in the dialog box type CMD. then you will have a pop-up it will be your command promt. in the command promt type
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 then hit enter. then open the s-on tool and flash the new HBOOT. then it will flash without FAIL. sorry for not realising this earlyer. and happy flashing.
comment if you need the bootloader drivers and i will upload them if requested thanks again everyone. and i would like to thank the acctuall creator of the programme thanks again briliant work on all sides.
i wil try it my Wildfire
here are the bootloader interface drivers..
enjoy thank me if this method helped you in your Quest to gain s-on
Did it worked for someone? I need to S-ON my wildfire, because i want to sell it
Edit: The WinRun.bat and LinuxRun.sh are wrong. They call the FastbootCommanderV.1.5.jar file, but they should call S-ON.jar
Question: What is eng hboot in your warning when the programm starts? I have the AlphaRev hboot 6.01.1002, will it work?
yesw i have done it on 5 diff wildfires i GUARENTEE it works mate hit me up on my thanks button
like i said this is not my programme i just found it very usefull to gain s-on. the only other way apart from this is to do it via the command promt on windows. which sucks as only a few people acctually know how to use this method. you dont need any of the linux stuff or win.bat. this method is for windows users only
For windows users only !!
this will only work on windows. wilol not work on linux. i am trying to get the programme to work on linux but to no avail. i will keep on trying but its just not capable of doing it. also please do NOT rename the HBOOT.NbO file if you do rename it then it will not flash and will not work.
i tried it, but when i will flash the hboot, i get this error:
Flashing "hboot" - PLEASE WAIT.
"hboot" flash FAILURE.
The device shows me: not roll back hboot version
DO NOT rename the file.
if you rename the file you will get a error. also make sure u have put your phone back to the stock RUU that is android 2.2.1 BEFORE you try this method
These are the RUU you need
go to this site and download the RUU that is used for your phone okay. go to this link and download the one for your phone. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
i have done this. my phone has 2.2.1 stock and i did not rename the file.
I think, i cant flash the hboot, because the alpharevx hbootversion is higher than the stock hboot...i think i read it somewhere...
no thats wrong the other way it to push it to the phone using fastboot and windows command prompt. this is the only 2 ways of gaining s-on again. trust me i have done it on my wildfire and 5 others and worked 1st time everytime
i will be shortly taking a video of me using this programme to gain s-on then you will all be able to see it working. it will not be untill my partner gets home but asoon as its uploaded i will share the url and let you all see that this way works 100% it is maybe somthing you are doing wrong ???? have you unzipped it to a sub fol;der on your desktop ????? and did you run it as admin ?? and if yes to them both. did you 1.rename the HBOOT file ?? or 2. did you move it out of the unzipped folder ???/
i trust you, but it get an error xD
edit: yes...i am an informatic specialist..i should know, what i should do and not..
lol. i dont know what to suggest then. it is odd because it has work flawlessly everythime i have flashed HBOOT/SPL. hmm i dont know then. i have done this method over 15 times to my own wildfire just to make sure it work 100% and could be used by other people. it has worked with alpharevx HBOOT and revelutionarys HBOOT which are both 6.01.1002 so its really weird it never worked for you :S
Strange...
An idea: I have the hboot from alpharevx from a very early closed irc beta. maybe this hboot is in some way locked. Can i flash the hboot with revolutionary again and use your tool? maybe the revolutionary hboot is different to the early closed irc beta :/
aslong as you know what your doing yes. it is possible. if you can get the revelutionary HBOOT then it will flash. then you should be able to flash the s-on HBOOT no problem
revolutionary dont let me flash their hboot -.- they say, i already s-off, so no flash needed -.-
ah i see, you said "if i can get the revolutionary hboot"...yep, i dont think, i can get the hboot
do you know the commands for flash the hboot manually?
do you know how to use command promt in windows ????
I get this

after taking my phone from a store that fix cellphones. I took the phone there to change the screen that was cracked and the inside screen that was dead. When I took back my phone and I started the phone, that is the moment I saw that. I was running Dark Side rom. I got a PD15IMG from 4share that I found here in xda forums but when I start doing the updating, it just stays there and do nothing else. Hope someone can help me with this problem.....ohh and before taking the phone there the Ship was S=OFF...I dont know if that have to do something with it.
never seen that hboot

Looks like they changed your motherboard.
The easy way is: go back to the store and ask them either to restore what you were running on the phone, or to bring you to the stock ROM.
Your only chance to do it yourself is to find PD15IMG for the latest stock ROM - including the latest update by T-Mobile that bumps the HBOOT from 0.89.0005 to 0.89.0006 (if it exists at all). The standard 2.2.1 and 2.3.4 PD15IMG files that are the most shared on the forum won't help you.

Thank you for joining, I think you reminded me of what might be the correct answer. 0.89.0006 is the HBOOT that is made by HTCDev unlock.
In this case, OP, what you need to do is the following:
1) Proceed with HTCDev unlock.
2) Once unlocked - flash custom recovery.
3) From custom recovery, in root ADB shell, override the main version on MISC partition (find this part in the downgrading guide).
4) Copy PD15IMG.ZIP with stock 2.2.1 Froyo PD15IMG.ZIP to /sdcard for downgrading.
5) Reboot to FASTBOOT (put attention - NOT to HBOOT! execute "adb reboot bootloader", or choose "reboot to bootloader" option from recovery).
6) Relock HBOOT.
7) Execute "REBOOT BOOTLOADER", proceed with downgrading flash.
8) Boot the phone regularly, it should boot.
9) Root and S-OFF.
10) Do whatever you want.
Sounds odd hope ya did not up date the ring radio is it boot looping or just stuck on mytouch 4g screen? Best bet is to dl a new file n see what happens might be a soft brick good luck

Ok, I was trying to unlock bootloader using Htcdev and everything was ok until i got to the cmd. I type the command and as soon and I hit enter i get this
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
so...that mean the phone have no fix?
You're writing a wrong command. Most likely making a typo, or not copy-pasting.
That's the thing, i was writing the right thing but nothing happened
Can It be a Hardware problem?
Most likely not. Can't be 100% sure.
I took the phone to a store to see if they can get the phone back to life. They told me that, the phone its done...but I read this article in xda where it says that if you can enter in the bootloader, you still have hope and if you try to upload and update with a PD15IMG and it doesn't say Fail P-U it means the phone can still work...
So i tried everything to recover my phone...but it seems Its just hopeless. I tried by using cmd but its still saying that there is an error in the command. I tried with every possible PD15IMG available out there and still can't get it. BUT I still reading that as long as you can get into HBOOT you still have hope...if there is someone out there that can fix this...or It's just the end of my phone T_T

I don't believe that hboot was ever supported. To root and use custom roms you can use htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader. Then use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, then root.

It won't brick your phone the steps are
1. Download and install the SDK. Truth be told you only need adb and fast boot. I think i have a package download for it somewhere. (follow this thread and download the adb file and place it where it says to. the process is the same do not flash the recovery from that thread afterwards though as it is not for your device!).
2. Once you have that fill out the htcdev stuff and they will email you a big long code.
3.you then need o open a command prompt. Use the windows menu, then hit search and type in cmd.
4. You then need to move your command prompt to the correct location. So example: your adb file is located at C:/adb/, you would type in cd c:/ ( then) cd c:/adb/
5. Then connect your phone via USB with the phone in bootloader mode.
6. Type in fastboot oem unlock (and paste in your unlock code)
7. Follow your phones on screen instructions

Complete guide on How to ROOT HTC Wildfire (BUZZ)
What is did and successfully complete on 2 Devices :-
Step 1 for Making S OFF
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
S-OFFing the Device
Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX "now named: Revolutionary" (HBOOT 1.01.0001)
It has been confirmed that AlphaRevX "Revolutionary" tool is not S-OFFing wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002!
Therefore, downgrading the HBOOT to 1.01.0001 is must for the meantime, to get an efficient S-OFF.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).
So, here’s a small package to help you do this.
click here.
Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like your “Desktop” for example.
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.
How to deal with Gold-Card Tool:
1. Switch off your phone, remove your microSD card.
2. Insert the microSD card into your card reader, connect it to your computer and format the card to FAT32 file system.
3. Insert the card into your HTC Wildfire and power it on.
4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.
5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and set the mode to charge only.
6. Launch Gold-Card Tool on your computer and click ‘GetCID’.
7. Copy the CID code from the text box and click the link shown below that text box to open it in your browser window.
8. In the browser window, enter all the details required and submit that form.
9. You should now get an email from PSAS. Open it and download the ‘GoldCard.img’ attachment.
10. Now set your phone’s USB mode to Mass Storage.
11. In Gold-Card Tool, click ‘Refresh’.
12. Select your mounted SD card from the drop-down menu saying “HTC MMC:”
13. Click ‘Load Goldcard.img’ and select the file downloaded in Step 11.
14. Click ‘Patch MMC’ and your Gold Card will be created. You may exit Gold Card Tool once done.
After you've made the goldcard, and patched it, continue with step 2.
• Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.
Revolutionary
* Steps:
1st You need to get to: http://revolutionary.io/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:
Settings --> about phone --> phone identity.
Now, do the following:
1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run Revolutionary and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. Revolutionary should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)

For Rooting HTC Wildfire
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Step 2 - Downgrading from Android 2.2.1 Froyo to Android 2.1 Éclair
Download the RUU rom (here) which is an original stock rom. Plug your phone into the PC and set it to "Charge through USB". Double click RUU rom .exe
Follow the on screen instructions and then let it install. Your phone will reboot into stock HTC 2.1
This will be the last time you will be seeing it though.
Step 3 - Gaining root using Unrevoked, get ClockworkMod and set your phone free
Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing"
This may be caused as the 3.32 does not support the HBOOT. Hence you need specific test version of Unrevoked 3.2 to do the job. Download it, save it on desktop, and run it. Now connect your phone and the rooting will start. Once done, you will have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone.
Reboot your phone now (using the VOLUME UP/DOWN key for navigation and clicking using TRACKBALL, the POWER button takes you back in menus). Once rebooted, you will see the “Superuser” app in your phone and....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Flashing CM-7.2 ROM (or any other ROM)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Flashing CM-7 ROM (or any other ROM)
Installing CyanogenMod 7 (Android Gingerbread 2.3.3)
Download the CyanogenMod 7 (here) (choose stable mod) for best results and download the latest version.
You will also need Google apps (here) or here (for latest version).
Place both files on desktop, connect your phone as USB disk-drive and transfer both zip files on SD card. Once done, reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (booting by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button and clicking on recovery)
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side VOLUME buttons to move around, and either the POWER button or the TRACKBALL to select.
• Select the option to “Wipe data/factory reset”.
• Then select the option to “Wipe cache partition”.
• Select Install zip from SDcard.
• Select Choose zip from SDcard.
• Choose update-cm-7.0.3-buzz-signed.zip & Let it install.
• Once done, Select Install zip from SDcard.
• Select Choose zip from SDcard, choose gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
• Once the installation has finished, get back to the main menu by clicking the POWER button and select the “Reboot system now” option.

For root, first downgrade your hboot from 1.01.002 to hboot 1.01.001
You can see a great thread in windfire 'general' forum. I'm on mobile so cant post direct link
hboot 1.01.002

Unlock your bootloader via htcdev, then use fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery and finally flash tge superuser.zip file and you will have root.
Fyi the downgrade method does not work on hboot 1.02.000 as it was not made for it. If someone was to remake it it may be possible, but htcdev is ready now.
