Hey,
I have a Wildfire 2.2 with 0.80.0002 HBOOT. Can i root it?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Update. I installed the drivers. Tried rooting with 3.14 and the new one. But they fail. The new one says " root failed. maybe your firmware is too new?" and 3.14 just says " root failed".
What could be wrong?
Maybe its because im on froyo? but my hboot is 0.80.0002 so i should get a root. Any suggestions? Maybe i should downgrade to 2.1. I would have an old firmware with an old hboot

avoid double posts (in this case tripple posts)

Try the OLD....and install Unrevoked Usb driver
Dayum. I cant install adb drivers. windows 7 ultimate x64. ive downloaded some vista drivers then it works. maybe i cant root because of vista drivers?
btw. when i install vista drivers and plug-in my widlfire it says MY HTC in the device manager.
Dude... I'm also using an x64 win7... firstly...use winrar to unpack the reflash package... extract it to someplace u can remember... jus install the drivers according to the instructions given in the 'hboot.html' file in the reflash folder.. its pretty easy... I always used to root my phone using this computer only ... never had a single problem... alternatively u could install HTC sync...( it will install the drivers ) and then remove it (only the application.. not the drivers).. and then try to root...
Hope I helped...

Downgrading is certainly worth a try
I managed to root it via super one click. But now when i try to flash a recovery it says Device "" Is not supported.
Since you have rooted it, follow steps 2 to last from here:

BTW, Are you sure yours is a standard GSM Wildfire and not any of its derivatives like Bee, G8 etc?
um.. sorry for my poor English but what that word " derivatives" means?

Are you sure your phone is a GSM HTC Wildfire and not another Phone like HTC Bee, HTC G8 etc? They are 'rebadged' Wildfires for specific markets / countries.
Noo.I've bought it from one of the biggest sales company in Lithuania . I've rooted it BEFORE(and cuz im stupid i did an update ). But now when i type su in adb my phone SHOULD pop a windows with SU asking for something. But it doesnt :< maybe i didnt root it..

Then how is your HBOOT still at 0.80? Please confirm the same. As far as I am aware, nowhere on the earth (Except the old Chinese release), did the official Froyo release not update the HBOOT to 1.0x
Also, in such cases, apps like Super one click root can only give temporary / shell root, which is pointless really, as it does not help achieve perm root.
What all do you exactly see on your HBOOT Screen? (Power down your phone. Press Power + Vol Down simultaneously, and let me know what it shows)
Yup i have 2.2.1 software & my hboot is 0.80.0002. So how should i root then?

Its amazing how you have the old HBOOT after getting official 2.2.1
Anyway, if the method I posted doesnt work, cant help you anymore. Sorry. Only one more idea I get is to use an old version of Unrevoked, which you state you have already tried.
Pic
Heres the pic :3 taken with my moms desire
You should try downgrading, or manually pushing the recovery (follow link that 3xeno posted above). Rooting really shouldn't be this hard, lol. No version of Unrevoked will work with 2.2 AFAIK for root, as I've heard people flash a 2.1 RUU and then root. That's another option - flash a 2.1 RUU (NOT 2.2) and then unrevoked. its 99% guaranteed to work the first time, and i guess 99.999% guaranteed to work within 3 tries. (0.001 % just in case, lol )
edit: running a 2.1 RUU is probably the easiest way... you should try it.
Ok. I pushed recovery in the hboot menu. thing is . i have clockworkd mod iLol'ed.I forgot Okay so ill try to flash now... Wait for it... wait for it... well install is complete.
I remember now. When i tried to root it a month ago it installed the recovery but it did not root my phone. Now when its rooted(i think) it works!!! LOL

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???

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.

So means Unrevoked will not update to help poor guys updated to 2.2?

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 :/

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

Hi,
I have the same update

I manage to install usb driver via Speedy0339

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.

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.
i faced a problem with update HTC gratia, after downloading update phone get restart then it show that update began then it show photo of phone with "?"

Since you're rooted(you did root your phone right?), you can't use official updates from HTC. You have to download a ROM from xda forums and flash.

Yeah it works with every HTC android phone. I would post the link but I'm on from the xda app and don't know how to post the link. Just go to HTC Aria> Android Development> and there's a guide on how to install unrevoked. Just follow that.

If you have a gratia you can't root the phone. The hboot has not been cracked yet. If you received the phone like this you are going to need to send it back for repair. Also there is no released RUU for the stock gratia.

yes it is the same phone but the hboot which is required for root is a newer version on the gratia. The USA aria and asian with 2.1 have an hboot of .57 the gratia / aria 2.2 update in asia have an hboot of 1.01 or something which cannot be hacked hence no root.

it should pull all the files off your phone
compress it and upload it to mediafire or some sort of sharing site. send us a link.

Will be possible to do?
Hi, I flashed rcmix hd and am really enjoying it at the moment, but if I wanted to go back to my stock rom I had, do I just restore my nandroid backup?? And then unroot and eng s-on?
Thank you ;-)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, should be as simple as that (restoring the backup will return the phone to the state it was in when the backup was taken).
Unless you're needing it fully back to stock for warranty purposes I'd be inclined to leave root and s-off so when you inevitably get sick of the stock ROM again you can flash another without having to bother re-doing all that, but that's just me
You will also have to replace CWM with the stock one.
An alternative would be flash RUU, s-on and unroot.
I didn't see post sorry, yeah I was thinking of going back to stock, but wondered whether I should use Vodafone branded ruu or use official HTC ruu??
If I flash official HTC ruu, will I debrand my phone? And if its debranded do I still get ota updates?
And after flashing HTC ruu, do I just do radio s-on and unroot? Or as u said just flash official ruu and leave root and radio s-on for another rom later on down the line?
Oh and you said I will need to replace cwm with stock one, so if I flashed HTC ruu, does that automatically replace it?
Thank you

The RUU is an all in one utility to flash official HTC ROMs, RUU = Rom Update Utility.
To flash one, ensure you have HTC Sync installed (for correct drivers), plug your handset in to your computer, double click the RUU.exe, follow the prompts. Easy as peas.

So I'm debranded now, I lost root but did get ota update for 1.32 xx6 which I updated so happy at moment , thanks for your help ;-)
Oh but cos I'm debranded at the moment if I wanted to do s-on and change cid thing, would I change it to debrand model or do I need to change cid to branded? Cos it was originally branded? But not anymore ???

Once you've unlocked the Legend download and run the HTC Supertool V3 from your machine, select option 1 then option 3 and you'll be permanently rooted, then you can install rom manager and deploy whatever rom you want.
So, if I vaguely recall correctly,...
This basically means we won't need the gold-card trick anymore.
I use my Legend for app testing, both CM7 and Blayo ROM as a proxy for stock. I avoid real stock ROMs because they tend to be a pain to re-root etc.
So perhaps I can try real stock ROMs and be able to switch back that much easier...
Hi
I have a legend running cm7 with S-on, how can i get S-off now?
Thx

There's a 5 page thread in the General section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498298
Looks to me like it's more trouble than it's worth at this time anyway.

Thanks. I've done the HTCDev part, I'll do Supertool and custom rom at weekend. I can use clockworkmod from market to install a rom or do I have to use a Legend specific version ?
This is to get s-off? I'm on 1.01 Hboot. Using CM 7.1 stable

nope... just the unlock bootloader... but you can use most of the S-OFF function.
with this you can flash your recovery part of your phone and also have system writes.

Can i install/change system fonts ?
Well, we don't know that as of yet (that's still a big mistery to us) but I can assure you that one who would find that out would most certainly be elected as president of the Internetz.
Have done HTC dev part and now with hboot 1.02. So next step should be to use super tool?

Yes, option 1 and 3, gets you root.
I tried the steps mentioned in wiki using super htc tool 3 and then using ROM manager. I was happy that it's almost done but got stuck with red triangle and exclamatory Mark when tried flashing cm7. What next ?!
