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

Hi,

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

My Desire HD arrives tomorrow - A few questions ...

Hi guys,
tomorrow my Desire HD finally arrives, i've been doing some research into rooting ect and would like to ask a few questions .....
1) whats the best root method? i take it unreovked dosent work on the HD, ive read visionary works for permroot, i thought visionary was for the G2 not HD is this correct?
2) whats the diffence between, bootloader s-off and radio s-off ..... on the desire we only have bootloader s-off
3) my desire HD will be orange branded, if it comes with a newer software version , with an unrootable hboot, can i downgrade easlly to an older software version?
4) and finally how do you guys find the multi touch on the HD?, the lack of multi touch is one of the main reasons im upgrading.
thanks for you help

I followed the guide in the Development section to root my DHD and S-OFF, it's pretty easy to follow
I don't know anything about downgrading hboot or that stuff.
The multi-touch on my device is crap:
I shot a video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj5z08CC5AQ
Most times 2 points work, but with 3 and 4 points the sensor is going crazy!

thats the guide i read, its always daunting rooting a new device isnt it nooooo dont say that the website said the hd support 4 point multi touch aslong as you dont get the axis flipping and it supports 2 touches though i'll be happy

if you are wanting to root your desire HD first check what firmware is already installed if its 1.72.405.3 this can't be rooted yet but if its still has older firmware 1.32.405.3 you are fine and you can root with Visionaryr14. so don't update your phone(if you have older firmware) to any new firmware until you are radio s-off.
if you do have 1.72.405.3 firmware you can now downgrade it to older firmware read thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
but you will need installed on pc htc sync drivers which you can download from HTC site also need android sdk tools (need adb) which can be found here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html need
also been branded you will needed to make a goldcard on your sdcard to be able to downgrade but in the thread above the is a link to show how its done.
just hope you have older firmware on phone.
sorry matey didn't really read you post, different between the s-off's radio s-off is were its sercurity premanently off and eng s-off is were the h-boot has been patch telling the radio the sercurity is off.

If it comes with 1.72 or 1.75 firmware root I'd not availiable....Yet!

thanks guys, i'll just have to wait till tomorrow to see what software version comes with my HD, i hope i wont have too much trouble rooting or downgrading tho, i have the htc drivers installed and im familiar with adb, thanks for your help

you should have no problems been able to downgrade then. you may want to use this ruu http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed.exe
as your PM98IMG.zip as it orange uk so may not need to make a goldcard.

Just to keep your hopes up i only got mine on friday it had the older firmware on.
i soon s-off and eng -s off, now i can not stop flashing roms finding the one i like best. i would say thou if you plan to flash up to the 1.72 rom dont flash a new custom kernel...yet

Thamks for all your help guys, i got my DHD earlier today, and it only took me 10 minutes to root and s-off it came with software version 1.40, i used visionary to root it, then used the one click radio s-off tool to s-off now im gunna download rom manager and flash cwm

Nice no having to downgrade enjoy

[Q] Unrevoked 3.32 and HTC Wildfire

Hey. Well searching on the forums or at all I just can't find a straight answer.
I have HTC Wildfire with Android 2.2.1. Can I use the newest Unrevoked 3.32 now to root this device?
I went through all the posts in this thread and the last person on page 47 mentioned he was able to do so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776&page=47
I want to be sure before I attempt to do this and possibly brick it

Well, thus far, that is the only post that has show unrEVOked to work on 2.2 ota.
May I suggest to you my way?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14855147&postcount=1

He (post #461) didn't clearly say that he used unrevoked.
Posting in that related thread doesn't mean using the process right.
And if u can see his previous post (#460), it gives the link to this process
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
So, don't use unrevoked for wildfire alpharev hboot. Ofcourse we should't forget unrevoked .

Your question was answered. Why bump needlessly? No you can NOT use Unrevoked to root your device. You will have to get S-OFF first via AlphaRev X, then, use SuperOneClick v1.9.5 to get root, and, if you are interested in getting a Custom Recovery to flash Custom ROMs and stuff, you can follow nejc's post.
Unrevoked does not come into the picture at all if you are on official 2.2.1.
One more thing, there is no way to remove S-OFF once you perform it. (yet) So, if warranty is essential for you, keep this in mind.
EDIT: Read the Post before the post on Page 47 of the thread you posted (Last Post of Page 46). Then you will see the continuity. He did NOT use Unrevoked to root his phone.

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776&page=47 (same as the link above) is also the method I used and I must say it worked like a charm!

Well, 3xeno, you CAN use Unrevoked to root the device. I did, worked flawlessly.
1.) S-OFFed with AlphaRev X.
2.) Installed 2.1 RUU.
3.) Used Unrevoked to root and flash recovery.
4.) Happily using CyanogenMod 7.

It may be working. But it shouldn't be recommended buddy.
After s-off, ruu + unrevoked is completely unnecessary process and a risky process which includes possibility of errors. And moreover a lot lengthier process.
I think these are some disadvantages of it...
-- it includes flashing of radio and an attempt to overwrite hboot both of which are sensitive process. Ofcourse RUU generally will not brick the phone. But when phone is S-OFF, it skips the signature check which means AFAIK it cannot differentiate a bad file and a good file.
-- there will be two eclair RUUs present. And flashing the oldest eclair RUU will mostly result in touch screen failure. This should be fixed by flashing the newest eclair or froyo ruu again.
-- I think the unrevoked version installs the 2.x recovery for wildfire. Since unrevoked is not released for a while for wildfire I think so. If yes, it means cannot install 2.3 roms unless using rom manager or by reflashing recovery with regular processes. And ofcourse the offline charging bug.
Unrevoked software hacks the greatest security so as to install the custom recovery. And what if there is no security at all. Even simplest methods can do the job.

Sure, but, I wont recommend it. Also, because it seems that this method is widely recommended, the forums are full of "Touchscreen Fail" after flashing the Eclair RUU.
Besides, I don't get what's the issue with using Fastboot, where just 1 line in Command Prompt will do it, but, whatever suits people............ Fastboot is supposed to be a breakthrough feature when you get S-OFF using AlphaRev X, and, it's sort of an "insult" to not use it.

Well, it worked for me. I guess I'm lucky.
