LOL.
Anyway, find someone with an XTC Clip, get your phone S-OFF, then downgrade and root. There is no software method as of now, so, no use asking for 'alternate' methods.
Secondly, as for your unlock method, don't think there is any method that works on Wildfire yet. (Will that change after S-OFF dont really know, since, here, there is no concept of 'Simlocked' phones). The only method I know of is buying an unlock code.

thanks man..i'll try something... so far i LOVE my htc
i'm just waiting for 2.3 to come out to root my phone and insert custom room

No hope bro!!!! mora d' čekamo

Froyo 2.2 CAN'T USE unrevoked 3.2.1

I USE GOLD CARD UPDATE "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_2.10.1400.3_Radio_13.53.5 5.24H" , BUT CAN'T USE unrevoked 3.2.1 , WHO CAN HLEP ME?
People warned you not to use the RUU. You had to wait for a update.zip.
I think you have to wait now until there will be a new unrevoked version which supports your phone again
Next time i want update rom don't use "ruu"
up
Just wait until a new version of unrevoked gets released which supports the wildfire after the 2.2 update. There is nothing you can do right now.

I am in the same situation now. The only good thing is i am a chinese. So this rom is fit for me.
I guess the moral of the story is don't use the RUU or be Chinese
Softroot still works?

if you need root and hebrew, root the stock 2.1 rom with unrevoked and install wildpuzzle
Hi, Thanks.
So how can i be sure that my device will be rootable prior to the purchase (while in shop) ?
And thanks for the tip.

Just check what software version it's running. 99% positive it'll be 2.1, in which case it can be rooted, incredibly easily, by following here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776
Then if you want Froyo, flash either WildFire or Puzzle. Or wait a bit for CyanogenMod.
say if i install this unrootable official froyo ROM (RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_2.10.1400.3_Radio_13.53.5 5.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151119_signed.exe) and will I be able to install the custom ROMs available later ???

No, your phone need to be rooted for the custom rom to work/flash..
As long as its running 1.25 or lower its rootable

HTC Wildfire will get Tough to Root after 2.2 Froyo Update

As per a forum member of XDA-Developers , he states that HTC Wildfire Which is soon to get its Official 2.2 Froyo Update , Is a good news for some , but will give tough times to others , other uses who wish to Root their Android Device.
In Details warriorvibhu Explains that HTC Wildfire will be provided with a OTA Update with HBoot , a Bootloader which would be harder to crack / modify in order to Root the device.
What do you think about this???

Yes unrEVOked no longer works although as is the case with ANY update we can downgrade and use unrEVOked
Just install danne_Jo's ROM and forget about ruu and losing root.

What did visionary do? That should work :|
EDIT: looks like you've tried everything, however I have no sympathy for you, everyone is warned about accepting HTC updates and rooting
Also don't hold out hope of unrEVOked doing anything, to be brutally honest they couldn't care less about the Wildfire

Download RUU and extract the ROM out of the .exe, then let it go through Android Kitchen and we got a Official ROM with root.
rooting?
So means Unrevoked will not update to help poor guys updated to 2.2?
Are you sure maybe they will figure out something to provide it!

The first, my wildfire dont root.
So the second, dont install that ROM. hix
Downgrade???
Do you think the technical staffs of HTC com can downgrade this ROM to OS 2.1? They invent the upgrade utility software, so do you think they can do downgrade???? I am going to the warranty my device. How do you think so?
I am wondering the same, what would happen when I try to flash the 1.37 RUU back on the phone?
If you have upgraded to the offical Froyo either OTA or from RUU your stuck in a hole.
The update changed the bootloader in the Wildfire meaning it is currently impossible to root (which rules out custum ROMS) and you can't role back to a previous RUU because they are written with the old boot loader.
Thats what the original OP of this thread is about.....the fact that it could be a while before it's going to get re rooted via unrevoked or any other method.
So your just gonna have to wait until rooting is supported again by Unrevoked or some other app, or some clever sod figures out how to change the new Boot loader.
Hope someone figures it out soon :/

Rooting wildfire

Hi app can you tell me if wildfire on 2.2.1 can be rooted ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes, NO it can not, if you used like 2 minutes reading the forum you would already know that since HTC upgraded hboot from 0.8 to 1.01 noone has been able to root it yet, unless they use XTC Clip to set wildfire s-off, then degrade it to eclair that's the android 2.1. Then it can be rooted as far as I understand it, but if you don't know anyone with the XTC clip then welcome in the que to the rest of us waiting for a software solution, that unrevoked is working on......
As question has been answered closing thread

Debrand HTC Wildfire with Vodafone Froyo ROM

Hello,
I'm used to debrand and flash Sony Ericsson devices, but my girlfriend has a HTC wildfire and I'm kind of confused with the debranding...
I found unrevoked3 and wanted to use it, but I don't even get to the part were I should install the android 1.0 drivers, since the pc ıs only asking my for adb-drivers. Does HTC have different then Sony Ericsson? Which one shall I take?
Also I always found manuals about using a goldcard, but these are supposed to be outdated?
Also I'm not able to find an original firmware... I only find RUN exe files. Can someone tell me if it ıs possible to flash original firmware through clockwork mod and maybe give me a link?
I would really appreciate if you guys could help me!
THANK YOU!
Linkin
Look at my guide. It gives you all the files, and is a very simple and easy to use guide.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thank you for your answer. I have 2 further questions though:
1) Do I really still need the goldcard (thought this was old school^^)?
2) I still dont know how to flash an original firmware AND WHICH FIRMWARE I SHALL TAKE? Can someone please help me with this?

There is a guide on downgrading the phone to an Unbranded WWE ROM here. This will erase all data(including Recovery, everything), but will downgrade you to a Universal ROM with no network branding, as well as HBOOT 1.00.001.
Goldcard? YES. A guide for the same is in the link, follow it to the letter and there will be no problems.

Thank you very much! I'm going to try it tomorrow ;-)
One more question though: can someone tell me where to get the newest RUU file? Update via htc sync?

The step2.bat in the guide is the rom itself. But if you still need a link, it is here. That is the same RUU used in Step2.
worked like a charm! Thank you again!
Do you see any easy way to root the phone now?
Gingerbreak and Superoneclick didnt work :/

You should be able to use revolutionary but...........
Read the first post, I know its a lot but there's everything you'll need in there.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
thank you, I found that way but since it is not my phone, i dont want to s-off it
Anyway, my girlfriend don't need root that much, so I guess I will just leave it here and reinstall here software manually!
Thank you everyone for your help and support!
*edit:
if someone finds a way to root phone without S-OFF: your idea is welcome
In that case, you will have to go through HTC DEV to unlock the bootloader, which is a FAR more cumbersome process IMO. Anyway, upto you really. Otherwise, rooting without S-OFF is not possible on Froyo.
Thank you for that answer. I will look into it... At the moment my girlfriend is happy with the Rom I gave her... But I think about cyanogenmod might be faster (phonepad input on Frodo is really slow...)? We will see :-/
